Chapter 302

After the gray-templed cultivator left, He Pingsheng hurriedly took out another top-tier third-tier elixir: Soul-Returning Pill.

He swallowed it in one gulp.

He slowly recovered his spiritual sense.

Half an hour later, his spiritual sense was fully replenished.

Unfortunately, he could not find the gray-templed cultivator or that green-robed Jingxin.

Otherwise, if he could find either of the two, he could give them another spiritual sense attack.

But He Pingsheng did not dare to be careless. After confirming that the two's spiritual sense had not locked onto him, he secretly began to reshape his appearance in the plaza.

Before long, He Pingsheng had changed his appearance again.

Because of the protection of the Jinlan Treasure Garment, although He Pingsheng had changed his appearance, he would not be discovered by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

When he came to his senses and wanted to go buy a map jade slip, the person selling maps had already been arrested by several official personnel.

He Pingsheng was speechless.

He did not know if they were arrested for selling fake maps or for selling real ones.

Forget it!

It doesn't matter if there is no map.

I heard that this Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm is very special; it is composed of five gullies connected end-to-end, so one will not lose their way even without a map; one just needs to keep walking forward along the valley.

For the next period of time, He Pingsheng sat cross-legged in a corner on the edge of the plaza, waiting slowly.

This wait lasted for nearly two months.

During this time, huge flying ships kept flying from afar and landing in the plaza.

In the end, more than seventy flying ships arrived.

This proved that there were more than seventy large commanderies in this Liang Guo.

And among all these flying ships, there was one that was quite special; the exterior of this flying ship appeared golden, and a huge dragon flag hung on it.

The moment that flying ship landed, almost all the cultivators were shocked.

"The Imperial flying ship!"

"Heavens, are the disciples of the Great Liang Imperial family also going to participate?"

After hearing the discussion of the cultivators in the plaza, He Pingsheng learned that this golden flying ship belonged to the Great Liang Imperial family.

The people who came down from the Liang Guo Imperial flying ship were all dressed in uniform; every cultivator, regardless of gender, wore moon-white robes, appearing noble and elegant.

It was quite a sight to behold.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense swept over these people and discovered that they were basically all cultivators at the eleventh and twelfth layers of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

There were almost none with lower cultivation.

The Liang Guo Imperial flying ship arrived on the last day before the Mystic Realm opened.

With the arrival of the Imperial family, this 【Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm】 was about to open.

An old man holding a cane, with white hair and beard, looking like an immortal, walked out from the Imperial flying ship, stood on the deck of the golden giant ship, looked at the cultivators in the plaza with a smile, and said: "Everyone... fellow young friends, greetings, I am an Imperial Elder, you may call me Elder Futu."

"I will be presiding over the opening of this Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm!"

"As everyone knows, our Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm only opens once every hundred years; this time, it coincides with the ripening of the 【Xuanhuang Black and White Lotus】 in the 【Earth Dragon Gully】, and to encourage the younger generation, the Imperial family has brought out a 【Blood Jade Purple-Skin Date】 to reward the cultivator who can obtain this 【Xuanhuang Black and White Lotus】!"

"The Xuanhuang Black and White Lotus only has one section ripen every six hundred years!"

"Hehehe... everyone, did you understand?"

Countless people bowed to the old man: "Many thanks, Senior, many thanks, Imperial family!"

"Long live the Imperial family!"

After this round of flattery ended, someone else stood up and asked: "May I ask Elder Futu, I heard that it is still eleven years until the true opening time of this Five Dragon Gully, why is it opening early?"

"I wonder if the 【Xuanhuang Black and White Lotus】 in the Earth Dragon Gully can ripen?"

Elder Futu did not show a surprised expression; everything was within his expectations, and he knew someone would surely ask this question.

Thus, he looked at the crowd with a smile and said: "Hehehe... you only know one thing, but not the other!"

"That's right, it is indeed not yet the opening time for this Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm; there are still eleven years to go!"

"But how can there be laws for everything?"

"Actually, as early as the last time the Mystic Realm opened, someone discovered that the ripening time of the Black and White Lotus had advanced by more than ten years!"

"Therefore, the Mystic Realm is opening eleven years early this time!"

"Rest assured, the Black and White Lotus has certainly ripened!"

"However, if by any chance the Black and White Lotus has not ripened!" Elder Futu changed his tone: "It does not matter; as long as you can bring that lotus over, whether it is ripe or not, I will not pursue it, and likewise, I will reward you with a 【Blood Jade Purple-Skin Date】."

"Fellow young friends, did you understand?"

Everyone bowed.

Everyone believed it to be true.

Only He Pingsheng sneered.

"Additionally, I need to remind you that this Mystic Realm is full of dangers!" Elder Futu continued: "Within this Five Dragon Gully, there are also demonic beasts equivalent to human Golden Core Stage cultivators, which require everyone to work together to defeat and obtain the treasures!"

"Of course, there are also individual cultivators who covet the treasures obtained by others, thus giving rise to the thought of killing and seizing treasures; this is not surprising!"

"Naturally, no matter what kind of killing and seizing of treasures happens within the Mystic Realm, our Imperial family will not inquire."

"Cultivation is, in itself, a matter of fighting for one's life against the heavens; do you all understand?"

"All these things considered, it can be said to be full of dangers!"

"If you encounter danger, you can crush the life-and-death plaque in your hands, and after three breaths, you will be teleported back to the plaza!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

Three breaths is the key.

Sometimes, when encountering danger, there is simply no time to teleport out.

This point must be kept in mind.

"Alright..."

After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "I announce that the Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm is now officially open, ten days per gully, for a total of fifty days!"

"After fifty days, everyone must come out of these gullies!"

"Otherwise, if you remain inside, you will have to wait for the next hundred-year opening!"

"And if the Imperial family learns that someone dared to stay inside privately, we will surely leave you with nowhere to run!"

"Open..."

The old man took out a pentagonal jade plaque, his magic power surged out, and with a bang, five rays of divine light were emitted from the plaque, crashing toward the void.

In an instant, a light membrane of an array appeared.

This was the array protecting the Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm.

The tier of the array was very high; He Pingsheng could not even tell what tier this array belonged to.

But that was normal.

After all, it was an array capable of covering five gullies, and it was said that besides defense, this array also had many other functions.

A pitch-black vortex appeared out of thin air in the plaza.

"Everyone..." The old man swung the cane in his hand: "Go in!"

"Rely on your own fate, trust in your own destiny, and show your own means!"

As soon as Elder Futu's voice fell, rays of light flew up and headed toward the vortex.

He Pingsheng was naturally no exception.

He moved his feet and flew away on his sword.

With a bang, he dove into the vortex.

Inside the black vortex, it was pitch black like ink, and nothing could be seen.

He Pingsheng felt his sea of consciousness become a bit dizzy.

But fortunately, this feeling of dizziness only lasted for about two breaths before a patch of light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

He had arrived at the Mystic Realm.
