Chapter 784: Secret Realm Closes, Each Has Joys and Worries (Seeking monthly votes)
On the beach east of "Wind and Thunder Island."
Above a magic array in the middle of the beach, dozens of cultivators were waving a small array flag in their hands, madly injecting the spiritual power in their bodies into the array flag in front of them.
These spiritual powers gathered into a huge magic array of dozens of feet in size in the high sky through the array flag, emitting bursts of powerful spiritual light.
"Activate the Great Array!"
After a long time, as the spiritual light on the magic array became stronger and gradually stabilized, a Jin Dan cultivator who was the leader among the crowd suddenly shouted, and the crowd in mid-air also quickly waved the array flags in their hands.
Immediately following, the huge magic array in mid-air suddenly began to rotate rapidly, and then bursts of white light began to emerge from the magic array, breaking through the air and coming out from inside.
After these white lights came out from the magic array, they soon turned into streaks of human figures in mid-air, all of whom were cultivators who had entered this place a month ago to explore opportunities in the secret realm.
The dozen or so cultivators who came out first basically had cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage. These people all showed a few traces of joy on their faces, looking like they had gains in the secret realm.
Because their own cultivation was low, after grabbing spiritual objects and some opportunities, they were afraid of encountering those Jin Dan cultivators with high cultivation and losing their lives, so they quickly found a safe place to hide their figures.
Until now, after safely escaping from the secret realm, these people slowly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
For them, risking their lives to enter the secret realm to look for treasures is also for an opportunity for themselves. Being able to have gains and retreat completely is already the best ending.
After they came out of the secret realm first, they left the spot on flying swords soon after handing over the teleportation tokens they carried, making room for the cultivators who came out of the secret realm next.
With streaks of white spiritual light emerging on the teleportation magic array, soon many cultivators flew out of the secret realm and landed in mid-air.
Compared to the first batch of cultivators who rushed out, the expressions of the cultivators who came out of the secret realm later were all different.
Some people also had a trace of joy that was difficult to cover, some cultivators had a face of sorrow and looked very tired, as if they had encountered many troubles in the secret realm.
There were also cultivators whose expressions were very calm, and it was impossible to see whether they were happy or worried, and I don't know if they found an opportunity belonging to them inside.
After hundreds of white lights appeared in succession, a green-robed figure followed the crowd and crossed out from the teleportation magic array, arriving outside the secret realm.
After carefully checking the surroundings, this green-robed man with a somewhat ordinary appearance took a teleportation token and followed the crowd to take the initiative to come to the cultivators guarding the teleportation array.
"I am Jin Feng, here to return the token!"
A young Foundation Establishment cultivator standing in front of the green-robed man saw that the person speaking was a Jin Dan senior, and hurriedly bowed and saluted Song Song Qingming.
"Senior, greetings. After the teleportation token is handed over, please don't be in a hurry to leave the island, Senior. Wait for a while nearby. After the few Old Ancestors set the time, there will be a teleportation magic array to send everyone away from Wind and Thunder Island uniformly."
"Thank you very much!"
Hearing the kind explanation of the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front, Song Song Qingming nodded hurriedly, and after returning the token in his hand to the other party, he immediately turned and left mid-air, arriving in the crowd below.
Except for the cultivators who just came out of the teleportation array, the cultivators who had left the secret realm in advance had already gathered on the beach by the sea, waiting to be teleported away from "Wind and Thunder Island" next.
Just after arriving in the crowd, three Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately leaned toward Song Song Qingming and bowed and saluted Song Song Qingming.
"I have been somewhat worried for days. I didn't expect that Senior would really be safe and sound. It is truly gratifying!"
"Hmm! No need for courtesy. You few people can come out safely from inside; it seems that you should also have some gains!" Seeing the three people, Du Du Fangling, who appeared in front of him, Song Song Qingming also showed a trace of a smile on his face and nodded slightly to them.
Hearing this, Du Du Fangling's face immediately showed a few traces of shame, shook his head lightly and said: "It's somewhat shameful to say. After the three of us entered the secret realm, it was considered smooth at first and we found a few second-tier spiritual medicines.
But later when looking for treasures, we unfortunately encountered a group of very difficult second-tier Golden-Headed Bees. After a bitter battle, although we luckily escaped, we also unfortunately hit the poisonous needles of those beasts and were all injured not lightly.
At that time, the detoxifying spiritual medicines on our bodies were all used up, and seeing that there was no way to continue looking for treasures.
Having no other choice, after we discussed it, we used the teleportation token to come out of the secret realm in advance and have been waiting on the island for more than half a month."
Hearing Du Du Fangling's explanation, Song Song Qingming immediately used his spiritual sense to scan the three people carefully and found that they indeed still carried some injuries on their bodies.
Especially Zhan Feng, who had the lowest cultivation among the three, his face was still carrying a few traces of relatively obvious paleness at this moment, as if he was injured somewhat heavily and had not fully recovered.
Although the three of Du Du Fangling had bad luck this time entering the secret realm and did not get any spiritual objects, fortunately, they all came out from inside without danger.
Song Song Qingming did not have too much surprise that they could walk out of the secret realm alive. Although their cultivation was not outstanding, they were all old-fashioned Foundation Establishment cultivators who had practiced for many years, and they would definitely be much stronger than those young cultivators when encountering danger.
"Such a secret realm has opportunities but is also quite dangerous. Even I still have lingering fears until now. It is a great fortune that you can come out safely, so don't care about those external objects.
I still have some elixirs here, which should be helpful for your injuries. Since it is some fate with you, I will give them to you!"
After Song Song Qingming finished speaking, he waved his hand and took out a bottle of second-tier spiritual medicine stored from the storage magic treasure on his waist and gave it directly to the three people in front of him.
Seeing the elixirs sent by Song Song Qingming casting spells, the three of Du Du Fangling were also somewhat surprised, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and thanked Song Song Qingming again.
At the same time, three streaks of spiritual light flashed in mid-air, and three more human figures came to the outside through the teleportation array in the secret realm. The woman who was the leader was none other than the white-robed woman "Shen Yun," who had dealt with Song Song Qingming in the secret realm.
Seeing this woman walk out of the secret realm with the hunchbacked old man and the black-robed woman, Song Song Qingming flashed a trace of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that she would also walk out of the "Wind and Thunder Hall" safe and sound.
After parting with "Shen Yun" that day, Song Song Qingming only cared about his own escape and didn't think about the other party's escape at all.
In his view, even if Qiu Qiu Wuxin had fallen, if "Shen Yun" encountered other Jin Dan cultivators in the "Wind and Thunder Hall" next, it would still be very difficult for her to avoid danger.
After all, Qiu Qiu Wuxin was chasing her who took away the "Thunder Infant Fruit" before he fell. Most of the cultivators in the "Wind and Thunder Hall" at that time saw these things with their own eyes.
Regardless of what kind of people "Shen Yun" would encounter next, as long as the other party suspected that the "Thunder Infant Fruit" was still on her, they would inevitably not let her go easily.
Unexpectedly, "Shen Yun" not only walked out of the secret realm safe and sound but also seemed not to have encountered any danger, which also made Song Song Qingming feel quite surprised in his heart.
However, the two companions beside "Shen Yun" were not weak, especially the hunchbacked old man who could fight with top Jin Dan powerhouses like Qiu Qiu Wuxin.
If the two of them had the intention to protect her, it was not impossible for them to help her walk out of the secret realm safely. It was just that he didn't know whether the people of the "Falling Maple Valley" would look for their trouble next.
Song Song Qingming withdrew his gaze, and "Shen Yun," who was still in mid-air, had already discovered his figure, and her gaze shot directly at where Song Song Qingming was.
Regarding this, Song Song Qingming did not pay much attention, pretended not to recognize the other party, and chatted with the three people, Du Du Fangling, beside him about other things.
And "Shen Yun" in mid-air, seeing Song Song Qingming pretend not to know her, did not show too much surprise, just left a meaningful look on the other party, and soon followed her companions to leave the spot.
After "Shen Yun" and the three walked out of the teleportation array, on the high sky hundreds of feet away from the array, a middle-aged man with a wisp of short beard on his face saw her figure, and a trace of essence light suddenly released from his originally calm eyes.
Subsequently, this short-bearded man pointed to the position where "Shen Yun" and the three were, turned around, and opened his mouth respectfully to a man with a golden crown: "Chen Chen Laozu, those three are the people who fought with us for the Thunder Infant Fruit in the Wind and Thunder Hall that day.
Senior Brother Qiu went missing in the secret realm not long after tracking that white-robed woman. That Thunder Infant Fruit is very likely still on them.
Look, Chen Chen Laozu, should I take people up to detain those few people first?"
Hearing the words of the Jin Dan cultivator beside him, Qiu Qiu Daoping, who was wearing a golden crown, scanned "Shen Yun" and the three with his gaze, and immediately shook his head and replied: "The major sects have long agreed that when the Wind and Thunder Island secret realm opens, no matter what happens inside, no one is allowed to intervene at will.
Even if the object is in someone else's hands, that is what they obtained by their own ability. What reason do you have to forcibly keep them after you go up?
There is not only one Nascent Soul cultivator here. Do you really think this is the Falling Maple Valley, where we can act recklessly?"
After vetoing the short-bearded man's proposal, Qiu Qiu Daoping opened his mouth and said slowly: "With Qiu Wuxin's ability, even if he encounters some danger, he will not fall in it so easily.
Liangshan and the others should be out soon. This matter has not yet been concluded, so there is no need to be in a hurry. Wait and see.
Rest assured, no matter who dares to calculate against Qiu Wuxin and move against our Falling Maple Valley cultivators, even if they can successfully leave Wind and Thunder Island, they will not be able to escape from our hands so easily."
After Qiu Qiu Daoping finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the crowd below again, with a very calm expression on his face, and did not seem to be too worried about the news of Qiu Qiu Wuxin's disappearance he had learned before.
Hearing the cold reprimand of his own Chen Chen Laozu, the short-bearded man nodded slightly, then turned and stood aside, not daring to continue speaking! Just after Qiu Qiu Daoping and the two finished speaking, a burst of fierce white light suddenly lit up in the teleportation magic array above, and immediately following, Han Feng of the "Jade Sword Sect" flew out of the teleportation array with dozens of cultivators. Seeing the cultivators of the six major sects appear, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the crowd, and immediately following, the gaze of everyone at the scene was attracted to them.
Compared to those loose cultivators who had joys and worries when they came out, after the "Jade Sword Sect" came out of the secret realm, everyone's face was full of confidence, and it was obvious that they had no small gains in the secret realm.
"Senior Brother Han has worked hard. I don't know if this trip went smoothly?"
Just after Han Feng appeared, an elder of the "Jade Sword Sect" who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately flew up to meet him and asked with concern.
Hearing this, Han Feng, with a smile on his face, nodded slightly. Although he did not answer directly, the confident expression on his face had already told the other party the answer he wanted.
Seeing this scene, the elder of the "Jade Sword Sect" was also relieved, turned and returned to the high sky to inform his own Chen Chen Laozu of this good news.
After the cultivators of the "Jade Sword Sect" came out, the cultivators of the four major sects, "Qingyang Mountain," "Tianxu Sect," "Golden Cloud Palace," and "Divine Fire Sect," also walked out of the secret realm one after another.
When the cultivators of the first few sects appeared, they were similar to the cultivators of the "Jade Sword Sect," also full of confidence and looking very relaxed.
Only when the cultivators of the "Divine Fire Sect," who were dressed in unified red robes, came out, the expressions on almost everyone's faces looked somewhat heavy, forming a different contrast with the cultivators of the first four major sects.
Seeing the disappointed expression of the cultivators of the "Divine Fire Sect," most of the cultivators at the scene did not know the reason, and they all began to guess and discuss.
Only the many Jin Dan cultivators who participated in the battle for the "Thunder Infant Fruit" in the Spiritual Medicine Garden that day could see at a glance that the reason why the cultivators of the "Divine Fire Sect" were like this must be that they were defeated in the final battle for the spiritual fruit.
There were only five spiritual fruits matured on the "Thunder Infant Fruit Tree" that day. Even if the six major sects each wanted one, it was obviously not enough to divide, and there would inevitably be a sect of cultivators who accepted the result of failure.
Not just this time, every time the "Wind and Thunder Island" secret realm opened in the past, although the vast majority of "Thunder Infant Fruits" finally fell into their hands,
But almost every time they came out of the secret realm, there would be one or two Nascent Soul sects like the "Divine Fire Sect" that did not grab the spiritual fruit.
These people were still full of unwillingness when they came out, but their skills were not as good as others, and in the end, they could only accept this disappointing result that made it difficult for them to accept and walk out of the secret realm.
Seeing the cultivators of the "Divine Fire Sect" so disappointed, everyone at the scene also began to guess.
If the first four major sects like the "Qingyang Sect" had already taken down one "Thunder Infant Fruit" each, then this last spiritual fruit should have fallen into the hands of the cultivators of the "Falling Maple Valley" who had not yet appeared, without accident.
With the cultivators of the other five major sects coming out one after another, before the teleportation array was about to close, a large group of white light lit up on it again, and immediately following, dozens of "Falling Maple Valley" cultivators wearing yellow robes finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
After seeing the "Falling Maple Valley" cultivators led by Luo Liangshan appear, everyone's gaze was immediately attracted, including the short-bearded man who had been waiting on the side. 【82】 "Sect Master Senior Brother, didn't Senior Brother Qiu come out together?"
"Sect Master Senior Brother, did Senior Brother Qiu not come out with you?"
Seeing the "Falling Maple Valley" cultivators appear one after another, but Qiu Qiu Wuxin's figure was long overdue, the short-bearded man, who had already been prepared in his heart, immediately stepped forward and asked.
Luo Liangshan, whose face was full of heaviness, nodded directly after hearing the other party's inquiry, confirming the other party's guess.
Subsequently, Luo Liangshan and the others quickly returned the teleportation tokens on their bodies and followed the short-bearded "Falling Maple Valley" elder directly to the position of Qiu Qiu Daoping in the high sky.
The abnormal behavior of the "Falling Maple Valley" cultivators after coming out of the secret realm also immediately attracted the attention of other cultivators nearby.
"Eh! Strange, the people of the Falling Maple Valley are all out, why don't I see the figure of that kid Qiu Qiu Wuxin."
An elder of the "Qingyang Sect" standing behind Xiao Xiao Haoran, seeing that the people of the "Falling Maple Valley" had all come out of the secret realm, but Qiu Qiu Wuxin, who was the leader, was missing, asked somewhat doubtfully.
Another elder who was older beside him also immediately echoed after hearing this: "Junior Brother Xiao, looking at the expressions of the people of the Falling Maple Valley, it's somewhat wrong. Could it be that Qiu Qiu Wuxin had some accident and fell in the secret realm!
If this is really the case, then the Falling Maple Valley is in trouble this time. Losing Qiu Qiu Wuxin, this seed that can form a Nascent Soul, once that Feng Laogui Qiu sits down in the future, the Falling Maple Valley might decline because of this."
"Senior Brother Wu, this shouldn't be the case, right! Although Qiu Qiu Wuxin just broke through to the ninth layer of Jin Dan not long ago, except for Senior Brother Xiao, no one in the secret realm should have the certainty to kill him!"
"Hehe! The Falling Maple Valley could be on par with our Qingyang Sect back then, but the situation is different now. You don't think that the Falling Maple Valley could be so brilliant back then all because of that Feng Laogui Qiu alone, right!"
"This, what Senior Brother Wu said, could it be that Senior Feng who was rumored? Is this person really so powerful?"
"This... could it be that Senior Brother Wu is speaking of that legendary Senior Feng? Is this person truly so formidable?"
Otherwise, if the two Old Ancestors know about it, you will have punishment to suffer!"
Hearing the warning of their own Sect Master, the two elders of the "Qingyang Sect" also hurriedly closed their mouths and nodded in response, not daring to continue speaking.
And at this time, Xiao Xiao Haoran, who had always been addicted to the sea of books, suddenly put away the book in his hand and asked with doubt to the Sect Master: "I have always heard people mention this Senior Feng of the Falling Maple Valley in the sect, saying that he is very legendary.
But there is no record of this person in the sect's classics, and I have always been somewhat curious about what kind of person this Senior is."
"Ah!... This."
Suddenly hearing Xiao Xiao Haoran interested in the "Senior Feng" in the mouths of the two people just now, the Chen-surnamed old man was also surprised, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head at Xiao Xiao Haoran:
"Junior Brother Xiao, I did hear some things about this person back then, but this matter has long been strictly ordered by the sect not to be discussed or publicized, otherwise, it will be dealt with according to the sect rules."
"Hehe! There are only a few of us here. No one will talk nonsense after going back. Chen Xuan, feel free to speak!"
After Xiao Xiao Haoran finished speaking, a movement of spiritual light in his hand cast a sound-insulating shield beside several people, and then gave a look to the few fellow sect members beside him.
Seeing this, these people also nodded hurriedly in response: "Chen Xuan, rest assured, we are definitely not people who talk too much. Besides, we are just talking here and won't spread it out, so it won't bring any trouble to the sect."
These people, like Xiao Xiao Haoran, looked at the Chen-surnamed old man with expectant eyes, seemingly having some curiosity about that mysterious "Senior Feng" in their hearts.
Facing the fellow sect members who were looking at him with tiger-like eyes, the Chen-surnamed old man also knew that it would be difficult to get rid of them today, so he could only lightly reply somewhat helplessly:
"Since you are all so interested, then I will tell you about what happened back then.
It's just that you should know about this matter, but you must not spread it out. After all, everyone belongs to the Tianhai Alliance now. If the people of the Falling Maple Valley hear it, they will inevitably use this to make trouble and will not easily let it go with us."
After the Chen-surnamed old man reminded everyone, he took the initiative to slowly tell a secret matter of the "Tianhai Cultivation World" back then, which gradually stunned Xiao Xiao Haoran and the others at the scene.
"I didn't expect that our Tianhai Cultivation World had such a genius cultivator. If the Falling Maple Valley hadn't had an accident back then, this person would definitely have been able to advance to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm like Senior Uncle Zhang.
Maybe there is still a chance to impact the threshold of Soul Transformation that no one has stepped into for ten thousand years. I didn't expect that he would die young. It's really a pity!"
Xiao Xiao Haoran, who finished listening to the whole story about that Senior, couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, and a trace of regret for another genius suddenly appeared on his face.
And at the same time, the teleportation magic array located in the high sky had not had white light flying out for a long time.
After confirming that no more cultivators were coming out, under the command of a white-haired Jin Dan old man, the many cultivators who were operating the teleportation magic array put away the array flags in their hands one after another and directly closed this teleportation magic array connected to the secret realm.
Subsequently, these cultivators did not rest, but turned and came above a wide teleportation array platform below, began to place spirit stones, and soon activated this large teleportation array.
"Fellow Daoists, since everyone has come out of the secret realm, the Wind and Thunder Island secret realm should come to an end this time.
According to the agreement we made with everyone before, next we will activate the teleportation array to send everyone away from here.
However, the teleportation position can at most be within a few hundred miles around. The next road will have to be walked by everyone yourself. I hope all Fellow Daoists know this matter and take care of yourself!" (End of this chapter) ===== CHAPTER 785 =====
Subsequently, these cultivators did not rest; they turned and arrived above a spacious teleportation array platform below, began placing spirit stones, and soon activated this large-scale teleportation array.
"Fellow Daoists, since everyone has already emerged from the secret realm, regardless of whether you have gained anything, this trip to the Wind Thunder Island secret realm should now come to an end.
In accordance with the agreement made with you all previously, we will now activate the teleportation array to send everyone away from here.
However, the teleportation can only reach a maximum of a few hundred miles in the surrounding area; the subsequent journey will have to be undertaken by yourselves. I hope all fellow Daoists understand this and take care of yourselves!" (End of chapter)
