703. Chapter 701: Now is the Best Time! Set Off Immediately!

Along with this light, the entire void began to stabilize.

Lu Yuan immediately activated the Detection Technique, carefully sensing the fluctuations of that light.

"Now is the best time! Set off immediately!"

He nervously ordered.

Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er closely followed; after a few breaths, they had crossed the void and entered the secret realm.

In the blink of an eye, everyone arrived in a vast, boundless fantastical world.

The mountains are clear, the waters beautiful; birds sing and flowers are fragrant.

Cultivational power surged in the air, exuding rich spiritual energy.

Lu Yuan's gaze through the void toward the opposite side saw a cultivator in green robes flying over, his hand waving a clear breeze.

His cold gaze swept over the crowd, and he smiled arrogantly: "Profound Heaven Sect's Feng Tianfeng, here to oversee the situation."

This Feng Tianfeng is a high-ranking elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, with profound cultivation and exalted status. Everyone immediately bowed to him in respect.

"Alright, since the secret realm has stably opened, we should act quickly."

Feng Tianfeng said, turning to the representatives of the other two major sects: "I suggest we three sects cooperate, jointly block other loose cultivators and small sects from entering the secret realm, then each seek their own opportunities."

Countless cultivators immediately began to discuss.

Lu Yuan silently pondered this proposal in his heart.

If the three sects could cooperate, they could not only repel other forces' invasions but also support each other, each seeking opportunities within the secret realm.

After a long debate among the crowd, the Elder Fang of Azure Abyss Valley solemnly said: "Our Azure Abyss Valley accepts this proposal and will cooperate together with the Profound Heaven Sect and Purple Cloud Palace."

Feng Tianfeng nodded slightly with a hint of a smile: "Then please, Elder Fang of Azure Abyss Valley and I will immediately discuss the details, while everyone else prepares to enter the secret realm."

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan watched Zi Xi'er leave, and he couldn't help but softly ask Su Liyan: "What should we do next?"

Su Liyan smiled faintly: "Without a doubt, we must also enter the secret realm."

"However, before entering, we can first make contact with other cultivators to learn about the outside situation."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.

The two of them immediately walked toward the surrounding cultivators, asking about recent events.

Gradually, in their conversation, Lu Yuan learned some news.

It turned out that many ancient treasures and inheritance sites were hidden in this secret realm, which became the reason countless cultivators vied to seize them.

"It is said that in this mysterious world there is a legendary cave dwelling possessing endless spiritual energy and treasures," said a cultivator.

Another cultivator added: "There are also rumors that here lies the nest of a thousand-year-old nether fox, gathering heart-stirring cultivation resources."

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan exchanged glances, both feeling an unprecedented desire in their hearts.

They needed greater strength to face future challenges.

As time passed, everyone gradually entered the secret realm.

Under Lu Yuan's perception guided by the Detection Technique, they quickly found clues to enter the cave dwelling and the nether fox's nest.

Inside the cave dwelling, spiritual energy abounded, magnificently splendid, with treasures scattered throughout.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan reaped abundantly; after cultivating in the cave dwelling for several days, they felt their strength had significantly increased.

As for the nether fox's nest, it was a place of peace and tranquility.

In the lingering, melodious strains of an ancient demonic melody, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan jointly experienced an ethereal and wondrous body-cultivation journey.

They drew pure spiritual energy from the depths, their hearts calm as water.

In this vast, boundless fantastical world, cultivators scattered everywhere, seeking their own opportunities and inheritances.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan sat quietly in a splendid valley, enjoying nature's gifts.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan followed the team deeper in; the secret realm's scenery grew ever more strange, as if they were in another world.

They crossed marshlands, traversed canyons and cliffs, and finally arrived at a mysterious oasis.

This oasis was shrouded in a massive band of neon-colored light, its spiritual energy so dense it was suffocating.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan could not resist this substantial-seeming spiritual energy surge, feeling their bodies receive unprecedented nourishment.

They raised their heads to gaze at the sky, only to see the heavens filled with stars shining in multicolored light.

Starlight flowed down from the heavens like a waterfall, pouring over the entire oasis.

"How can this place have such a wondrous sight!" Su Qi'er exclaimed in amazement.

"It seems our luck is not bad."

Lu Yuan smiled and patted Su Liyan's shoulder: "We've been deep in the secret realm for several days already; perhaps this place will bring us unexpected gains."

Just as Lu Yuan and Su Liyan prepared to further explore, a noisy sound suddenly came from ahead.

"Everyone, come look quickly! That is the legendary celestial beast!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all rushed toward the direction of the sound.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were no exception; they quickened their pace and soon arrived among the crowd.

There they saw a huge white dragon-shaped celestial beast soaring and dancing in the air, emitting dazzling white light.

Its massive dragon claws trod in the air, waving about with ease.

This celestial beast is precisely the legendary "Frost Soul Phoenix," born from the union of an ancient phoenix and an ice-crystal nether fox.

It possesses both fire and ice spiritual power, boasting strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

The crowd, excited, showed delighted expressions and began attempting to tame this celestial beast.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, unwilling to be outdone, exerted themselves fully, employing their respective methods.

Lu Yuan tightly gripped the "Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword," his whole body merging with it, releasing tremendous thunderous power.

The sword's brilliance burst forth, like a lightning bolt tearing through the night sky.

Su Liyan held the Ice Crystal Long Whip, cold air spreading everywhere, piercing frost erupting from the whip.

She condensed ice shards, waving the whip like a biting cold wind sweeping past.

The two of them worked in perfect coordination, tightly encircling the Frost Soul Phoenix in the middle.

Lu Yuan continuously circulated his immortal arts, releasing thunderfire attacks, while Su Liyan used ice power to control the battlefield.

As the battle progressed, the Frost Soul Phoenix gradually felt the pressure increase.

It angrily roared, and the surrounding space began to crack.

The Frost Soul Phoenix was finally subdued!

Lu Yuan gazed at the Shadowy Sword in his hand, unable to help feeling curious.

This weapon looks ancient and mysterious, granting him an unprecedented sense of power.

He carefully examined the runes and strange patterns etched on the blade, sensing as much as he could the energy contained within.

"This is an extraordinary object."

Su Qier stepped closer, lightly touching the runes on the Shadowy Sword with her fingertip, "I have never seen such a beautiful and mysterious weapon."

Lu Yuan nodded, put the Shadowy Sword away into his Immortal Dao Ring, then walked toward the stone table laden with various precious herbs before him. (End of chapter)
