Chapter 211: Secret Realm Opening

Song Qingming turned around and raised his eyes to look at the position pointed out by the person who had just spoken, discovering that several more shining sword lights had appeared in the distant sky, and he could vaguely see several white figures among the people flying on swords.

After getting closer, he discovered that there was a pile of figures floating behind these flying swords, following many people flying on swords. It was only because they were blocked by the people in front that everyone had not been able to see them at first.

The speed of the flying swords traveling in the high sky was very fast, but in a moment, twenty or thirty sword lights landed in the square one after another.

These cultivators who came flying on swords were all dressed in white, both men and women, each with beautiful features and elegant demeanor, as if they were immortals who did not eat the food of the human world.

Seeing their attire, which was so obviously different from everyone else's, some cultivators nearby who had seen them before soon shouted the name "Xingchen Sect". This Xingchen Sect was a Nascent Soul sect of the Wu State. Now there were two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and their strength was three parts stronger than the Xiaoyao Sect. They could be considered the strongest sect around the Wei State.

The Jin Dan cultivator leading the Xingchen Sect was a very young man, with a face like jade and lips like painted grease. This person did not seem to like such noisy scenes. After greeting the several Jin Dan cultivators at the scene, he sat aside on his own and began to close his eyes and rest.

The several Jin Dan cultivators at the scene did not seem to find this person's behavior strange and did not step forward to speak politely.

Most of the Xingchen Sect disciples looked very young, but their cultivation was not a bit worse than the Lingyin Sect disciples who had just appeared. As soon as these people appeared, they immediately caused a commotion among the many cultivators at the scene.

Even the Lingyin Sect disciples, who were a bit arrogant just now, had their expressions change a lot after seeing the Xingchen Sect disciples appear. Including them, the many cultivators at the scene clearly carried a trace of wariness in their eyes when they saw the Xingchen Sect disciples. It was obvious that everyone knew these Xingchen Sect people were not to be trifled with. Once they provoked them after entering the secret realm, they could only leave it to fate.

Next, several more waves of cultivators led by Jin Dan True Persons came to the square, but these people's style was not as grand as the ones just now. They were sent by Jin Dan sects in nearby small countries, and their numbers were also smaller than the cultivators of the several large Nascent Soul sects who had arrived earlier.

Waiting until noon, there was no empty space left in the square. With the sound of a bell ringing on the square platform in the middle, the elderly Jin Dan cultivator from the Xiaoyao Sect suddenly stood up.

The old man scanned the entire square again, said something softly to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators waiting on the side, and then flew directly into the air above the square. Immediately afterward, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire square.

"Fellow Daoists, sixty years have passed in a flash. This is also the third time I have come to open the Taiyuehu Secret Realm. Thanks to the appreciation of all Fellow Daoists, there have not been too many mistakes in these two hundred years.

I will not say much about the rules. Everyone step forward in turn, hand over one hundred spirit stones each, and after exchanging for the special identity token of our sect, you can directly teleport from here into the secret realm. Our Xiaoyao Sect is only responsible for sending everyone into the secret realm. As for what will happen inside, it has nothing to do with us. This matter is entirely voluntary. If there is anyone who is unwilling, you can leave immediately now."

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the square platform in the middle of the square soon lit up with a burst of white spiritual light under the operation of several Xiaoyao Sect disciples.

The formation array above this stone platform looked not much different from the teleportation array Song Qingming went to for the Tiandan Alliance auction back then, but this teleportation array was clearly much larger, and the number of people it could teleport was estimated to be quite a bit more.

The latest to enter were the Xiaoyao Sect's own cultivators who had been waiting for a long time. Song Qingming counted from afar, and there were about thirty or so people. It seemed that the several large Nascent Soul sects sent about the same number of disciples. He did not know if this was something they had agreed upon.

Among the disciples selected and sent by the Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming not only saw Xu Cheng Ziyan, whom he had met a few days ago, but also saw her master, Liu Xingfeng. Song Qingming had not seen her for decades. Compared to back then, Liu Xingfeng's demeanor was a bit more haggard now.

When she fought a great battle with Yang Wuqi in the Fuyun Mountain Range back then, Liu Xingfeng's cultivation was already at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment. He did not expect that nearly forty years had passed, and her cultivation had only improved to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Compared to Xu Cheng Ziyan, who had broken through to the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment in just over thirty years, the cultivation future of Liu Xingfeng, as a master, looked far less bright than her disciple's.

Liu Xingfeng had been at Foundation Establishment for nearly a hundred years and could now be considered an old-school Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Xiaoyao Sect. If she did not have any breakthrough in her cultivation, she feared that she would not necessarily have a chance to form a core by the time her lifespan was exhausted in this lifetime.

Before entering the teleportation array, the many Xiaoyao Sect cultivators handed over a mid-grade spirit stone in front of the many cultivators at the scene to the cultivators guarding the teleportation array, before walking into the teleportation array, and then disappeared from the spot, turning into a ray of white light.

Song Qingming did not expect that the Xiaoyao Sect's own cultivators also needed to hand over spirit stones to use this teleportation array to enter the secret realm. He did not know if they were doing this to put on a show for the cultivators from around who came to visit the secret realm, or if they were truly paying out of their own pockets.

After the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators teleported, one after another, cultivators from major sects like the Xingchen Sect and the Lingyin Sect entered the teleportation array one by one. Finally, it was the turn of the various cultivators like Song Qingming who had rushed here early in the morning.

After waiting until more than half of the cultivators in the square had already left, it was finally the turn of Song Qingming and the others. He stepped forward and generously took out one hundred low-grade spirit stones, handed them to the Xiaoyao Sect cultivator guarding the teleportation array, and soon he also received a blue jade token proving his identity, and walked into the teleportation array together with Huang Shengxin and the others.

When they came, the Huang family had already told them that the spirit stones used for the teleportation to enter the secret realm would be paid by their Huang family, but of course, they would also have to take a larger share of the treasures obtained inside.

Song Qingming naturally had no opinion on this. Anyway, he had already thought about it. After he went in, he would first act together with the few Huang family members. Once he received news from Fire Phoenix, he would have to find an opportunity to leave them. As for what treasures the Huang family members would obtain in the secret realm, he did not have much interest.

Although Huang Shengyue had painted a glowing picture of the Taiyuehu Secret Realm when she invited him to come, Song Qingming also knew a little bit in his heart that what she said was certainly exaggerated. Furthermore, with so many people entering the secret realm today, it would be very difficult for them to get a turn even if there were truly good things.
