Chapter 214: Secret Realm Opens, Weak Water Ferryman

The next day, early morning.

Outside Heavenly Pure Immortal City.

Three figures walked out of the city.

"Pre… Sect Master, I'll head to the sect first."

Outside the city gate, Feng Qingyang in green robes looked at Ye Tianji clasping his hands beside him and nodded.

He said, "Mm, the sect has already given orders inside; you may directly join the sect."

For one who cultivates the Heavenly Mechanism Dao, entering the Secret Chamber is most suitable.

Once cultivated, is there any need to gather intel? Just deduce the Heavenly Mechanism.

"Then Sect Master, I'll set off first."

Hearing this, Ye Tianji respectfully acknowledged and flew off toward East Heaven Trace.

Indeed, when fortune comes, none can block it; he actually met Qingyun Immortal Lord and even got news of an old friend.

Now I no longer need to anxiously calculate the Heavenly Mechanism all day; joining Qingyun, my Heavenly Mechanism Great Dao will surely one day echo through the Immortal Realm!

After Ye Tianji left, only Feng Qingyang and Ye Chen remained outside the city.

"I was also quite lost, wandering aimlessly, seeking a sect and a path to grow stronger, but alas, the road has been rough."

"But fortunately I met a senior who gave guidance, revealed the Heavenly Mechanism, and now I'm full of motivation."

"This might be fate from the depths."

Ye Chen gazed at the heavens and sighed.

Then he looked at the person clasping hands beside him and asked, "Senior, does your travels have a destination?"

"A destination? Wherever the heart wishes, that is the destination."

Feng Qingyang glanced at him, spoke solemnly, but inwardly wondered where to travel next.

"I see, senior, I've understood."

"Senior, I'll take my leave too; this journey with your guidance has been fruitful, I plan to return and build up the sect to contend for the Upper Realm."

"I also don't know how the sect is doing; by the way, the Weak Water Secret Realm should be about to open, I wonder how the disciples inside are."

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

"What did you comprehend? I'm just muddle‑headed…"

"An Upper Realm Immortal Venerable with great karma keeps calling me senior; I hope the fellow can endure…"

"But, the Weak Water Secret Realm?"

Feng Qingyang heard this, his heart stirred, wondering how Shi Hao and the others were.

At the same time.

Immortal Wave Continent, within the Yu Ming Immortal Kingdom.

The news of the Weak Water Secret Realm's opening today has spread everywhere.

The Heaven's Pride of Immortal Wave Continent and the Heaven's Pride of the several major continents of Qinggu Heavenly Domain have already arrived early, waiting outside the secret realm.

It is said the Weak Water Secret Realm was crafted by a powerful True Immortal.

That is also his burial place, located in the Weak Water River within the Yu Ming Immortal Kingdom on Immortal Wave Continent, so everyone calls it the Weak Water Secret Realm.

"Another opening of the Weak Water Secret Realm today—how lamentable."

"Yes, that True Immortal Predecessor is utterly selfless, devoted to our Qinggu Heavenly Domain; even after falling, he wished to donate the small world he forged."

"Yes, I most admire that True Immortal Predecessor; know that small world is his Daoist temple!"

"Qinggu Heavenly Domain! Everlasting verdure! Our Qinggu Heavenly Domain's cultivators will surely not disappoint the predecessor's hopes and will rise in the Twelve Heavenly Domains of the Upper Heaven!"

Within the Yu Ming Immortal Kingdom, many cultivators discussed this secret realm affair.

Know that within that True Immortal Predecessor's Daoist temple are not only many immortal treasures, but also his inheritance.

That is the inheritance of a great True Immortal! If one obtains his inheritance, becoming a True Immortal is within reach.

……

Yu Ming Immortal Kingdom, billions of li from the Canghai Immortal City of the Immortal State.

"According to that person, the Weak Water River lies ahead."

"Not bad, senior brother, look—all those people ahead of us, our peers, must be here to participate in the secret realm."

Lin Bai in inner‑disciple attire looked ahead and said to Senior Brother Shi Hao beside him,

"This time we'll face the Immortal Realm's Heaven's Pride; junior brother, junior sister, are you confident?"

Shi Hao, walking in the forefront, turned with a solemn expression and asked, having cultivated in the Spacetime Tower for a thousand years.

Although his cultivation and strength have greatly increased, facing the Immortal Realm's Heaven's Pride for the first time, he naturally has no confidence.

No, it can't really be called the first time; he had challenged the Heaven's Pride's Daoist temple several times before, this counts as the first actual combat.

"Don't worry, senior brother, we're fine."

Behind them, Yun Lan in pale‑white sequence disciple robes, together with Lin Bai and Hua Qingyu, nodded and affirmed.

This time the sect sent the four of them; they must not bring shame to the sect and their master.

The first step for Qingyun disciples to make a name in the Immortal Realm starts with them!

Afterward, the four continued forward.

As they walked, Shi Hao, thinking, turned to Yun Lan beside him and asked, "Yun Lan junior brother, you're a native of the Immortal Realm—do you know about the Weak Water Secret Realm?"

"Senior brother, I'm not really clear; I only know that the Weak Water Secret Realm was created by a True Immortal."

"That True Immortal Predecessor suffered grave injuries in the Heavenly Domain War and fell within the small world he built."

"Afterward, to benefit future generations of Qinggu Heavenly Domain, before his demise this True Immortal Predecessor opened the small world."

Hearing this, Shi Hao nodded, his heart filled with myriad emotions.

Soon after, they arrived at the Weak Water Secret Realm pointed out by passersby, only to see that many heavenly talents from various continents had already gathered here.

They gathered together, all waiting for the secret realm to open.

Ahead was a pool of dark, bottomless black water.

Gentle breezes blew, yet not a ripple rose in that black water—most peculiar.

The trees, flowers, and grass around the black water were all dark-colored, as if infected by it.

"This must be the Weak Water, right?"

Shi Hao stopped his steps, glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on the black water ahead.

"That's right, senior brother—this is the Weak Water River; since the whole river is black, it's also called Black Water."

Yun Lan stared at the pool of black water ahead, his eyes blazing as he spoke.

"Senior brother, senior sister, this water must not—"

Yun Lan hadn't finished speaking when several loud sounds from not far away, mixed with a splashing noise, cut him off.

"Another idiot fell in the water—this guy is truly stupid! No amount of advice gets through to him."

"Yeah, he must be from some small place in another state, unaware of the danger of the Weak Water River—no amount of advice gets through to him."

"He even mocked us, saying one can't even fly across a river, coming here just to embarrass himself—hahaha, laughing my ass off, now he's dumbfounded, huh?"

"Just try it and you'll die—now he's gotten his wish."

Shi Hao and the others, hearing this, turned their heads toward the sound.

Only to see a gray-clad youth struggling in the water not far off, but he quickly sank into the bottomless black water.

"Hiss! This Weak Water is a bit sinister!"

"Senior brother, this is what I wanted to warn you about: the bottom of the Weak Water holds a forbidden spell; even if a celestial immortal came, they couldn't float across."

"If you want to cross the river to reach the secret realm on the far shore, the only way is to board the ferryman's boat."
