Had the rest scattered to other directions around the secret realm’s periphery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or could someone have appeared directly in the secret realm’s central zone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wang Yu pondered this, he scanned the small hill a few times, feeling it was still too close to the Foundation Establishment wolf demons in the forest; he immediately turned and leapt down from the opposite slope, vanishing among the hills in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two monks, one tall and one short, slowly emerged from the forest’s edge; the younger monk kept glancing back over his shoulder toward where the Foundation Establishment wolf demon had appeared, his expression eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, although the Foundation Establishment beast beasts in this secret realm aren’t overly powerful, they’re still beyond your current capacity to provoke. Don’t forget your primary goal for entering this realm.” The tall, thin monk warned his companion coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Yuanming, I know that even without you reminding me. My Arhat Golden Body is nearly complete, but that wolf demon’s wind teleportation is too fast—even if I could withstand one claw strike, I couldn’t endure the follow-up attacks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, I’m confident that once I reach Foundation Establishment, even this wolf demon won’t survive my full-power punch with a perfected Golden Body.” The young monk chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. You’re the one the four ancestral elders of our temple jointly recognized as a reincarnated great Buddhist master—a man born with Buddha bones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden Core should pose no problem for you, but the four ancestral elders secretly trained you within the temple, hoping one day you might even challenge the Nascent Soul realm. Hence, your identity as a Buddha Child has remained a secret within the temple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, during the four sects’ Dharma assembly, the ancestral elders merely wished for you to attend as an ordinary disciple, to observe the true disciples of the other three sects and broaden your horizons—but we never expected the Kalana Secret Realm to open.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were any other secret realm, the ancestral elders would never have allowed you to risk entering—but this Kalana Realm, it is said, was once the domain of a Buddhist master who once used the Fourth-Rank Fanshenfati  to confront a great enemy. If this realm truly is his place of passing, it may well hold his Fanshenfati .”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can obtain the relic bones within this Fati , you can perfect your Arhat Golden Body while still in Qi Condensation, and upon Foundation Establishment, directly switch to our temple’s long-abandoned ‘Six Marvelous Bodhi Sutra,’ forging a ‘Bodhi True Body’—saving you over a hundred years of arduous cultivation.” Yuanming replied, expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if we don’t find the Kalana Zhenren ’s Fanshenfati  in this secret realm?” the young monk asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this Kalana Secret Realm isn’t his place of passing, then seize the fifth Kalana Key.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, I’ve gone so far as to destroy my own cultivation just to enter this realm with you—if I don’t secure the greatest prize for our temple, wouldn’t that be a waste?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’ll only do this after I’ve safely escorted you out of the realm. And your identity must never be known to a third person—anyone who learns of it, I will exterminate with my demonic-subduing methods.” The tall monk spoke coldly; as soon as he finished, his figure flickered, appearing before a nearby large tree, and he kicked out with lightning speed—a faint silver lion’s head coalesced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I will only do this after first sending my younger brother out of the secret realm. And my younger brother’s identity must not be known to any third party—anyone who learns of it, I shall transcend with demonic-subduing methods.” The tall, thin monk spoke coldly; no sooner had he finished than his figure flickered, appearing before a nearby large tree, where he kicked out with lightning speed, a faint silver lion’s head momentarily coalescing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree shattered into four pieces, and from within tumbled a black-robed disciple, his chest pierced by a bloody hole—a Black Soul Sect disciple who had hidden here using Wood Teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk, Brother Yuanming, your Heavenly Ear Ability is incredible—you sensed him even hidden here. No wonder you were once the top disciple of our temple’s Dharma Guardian Hall.” The young monk exclaimed in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yuan Tong merely took a storage pouch from the black-robed corpse and led his younger brother straight toward the chain of distant small hills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yuan Tong merely rummaged a storage bag from the black-robed man’s body, then headed straight for the rolling hills ahead with his younger brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a vast green meadow, a woman in yellow palace attire, her face veiled, had a miniature golden toad perched on her shoulder, searching intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her lay over a dozen massive yellow beast-bull corpses, each with a gaping hole torn through the abdomen—every heart had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the golden toad’s mouth, faint traces of blood were visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the woman’s eyes lit up; she stepped forward and reached into an ordinary-looking patch of grass to pluck something—but at that moment, a black shadow shot out from the grass with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the woman’s eyes brightened; she stepped forward a few paces to a seemingly ordinary patch of grass, reached out, and plucked something from its center—when, at that instant, a dark shadow shot forth from the grass with an uncanny speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red thread shot from the woman’s shoulder, piercing the shadow with perfect accuracy; then it flicked once, and a small, jet-black snake corpse fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red thread was the golden toad’s extended tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was startled, then patted her chest repeatedly before bowing respectfully to the golden toad on her shoulder and speaking softly; then she happily plucked several crimson berries from the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The berries were no larger than beans, each a vivid crimson like blood, faint golden patterns shimmering on their surface, emitting a subtle milky fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman wiped two berries clean and fed them directly to the golden toad on her shoulder; the rest she carefully placed into a small wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, raising her head, she continued walking across the meadow—far ahead, a faint glimmer of water shimmered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the woman lifted her head to look back, before continuing forward across the grassland, where, far ahead in her direction, a faint glimmer of water shimmered.\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8176f025204c29d9d0adbd32dd7b04fd02163ca268f765c3332e9623ea029e32","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-171","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-169",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
