Chapter 123: 【Sheng Tian Secret Realm, Lingxiao Sword Sect】 (Second update, begging for votes)

Sang Zhenyou's facial muscles twitched. Although he had indeed thought at the beginning that Lu Runping might use a spirit pet to fight.

But he didn't expect Lu Runping to already possess a Nascent Soul Realm spirit pet.

As far as he knew, Lingyu Peak generally chose spirit pets after disciples stepped into the Golden Core Realm, and the choice of spirit pets generally chose spirit beasts of the Golden Core Realm or spirit beasts with higher quality bloodlines of lower realms to cultivate.

Because the choice of the first spirit pet, bloodline quality and growth potential were extremely important, and they would usually choose spirit pets with higher grades but lower cultivation to ensure they could be tamed.

High-level spirit pets that reached a certain level of strength were very difficult to tame, and failure could also have backlash.

Being able to take a Nascent Soul Realm spirit beast as a pet was enough to show that in the way of beast taming, this junior brother had very strong talent.

People in the sect, although gossiping about the matter between Lu Runping and Yan Jiaojiao, did not spread any news about the Six-Winged Frost Centipede.

When Chen Songming said that Lu Runping was a person favored by heaven, he only mentioned that his spirit pet picked up some kind of treasure and evolved, without mentioning what it was.

So, this was the first time Lu Runping's Six-Winged Frost Centipede was exposed to the public.

Then everyone quickly learned about this matter.

Unavoidably, their evaluation of him became even higher.

For most true disciples, the levels before the Nascent Soul Realm were still too low, and everyone would not actively learn some low-level spells, but instead put their time into the improvement of basic cultivation.

So, top-tier Heavenly Prides were not proficient in fighting in the early stage.

And being able to cultivate a Nascent Soul Realm spirit pet, without needing to cultivate fighting skills himself, and also possessing protective strength, this was obviously a manifestation of ability.

Sang Zhenyou's challenge this time gave Lu Runping fame again.

Some disciples began to actively invite Lu Runping to visit other mountain peaks, discussing insights about cultivation orally.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed. After three years of precipitation, Lu Runping felt the opportunity for breakthrough.

He planned to break the core and condense the infant today.

Before Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, Lu Runping did not use pills for assistance, and his master and senior brothers did not mention the need for assistance.

The top-tier cultivation method of the Immortal Sect, as long as there is no opportunism in the cultivation process, practicing steadily to the bottleneck period, one can naturally break through.

No external help is needed.

But reaching the Nascent Soul Realm is a very critical step, which is the core of connecting the two important stages of Refining Essence into Qi and Refining Qi into Spirit.

So there is no room for error.

Xue Yunzi gave him an 'Infant Transformation Pill' as assistance, allowing him to successfully obtain the Nascent Soul.

For condensing the Nascent Soul, Lu Runping had experience long ago, so he didn't use that pill at all, successfully completing the breakthrough and stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lv Gong, fifty-seven years old, early-stage Nascent Soul Realm!

Learning that he broke through, Chen Songming, who was also in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, came to congratulate Lu Runping.

"Junior brother, according to your cultivation speed, in a few years you will be my senior brother."

Between the words, Chen Songming had a faint sadness.

There was no envy or jealousy. As early as when he admitted that Lu Runping was a person chosen by heaven, he had already seen through it.

Some people cannot be compared with them.

"Call me senior brother once, senior brother for a lifetime!"

Lu Runping still maintained the persona of being loyal and kind-hearted.

At the same time, he was pondering whether to find an opportunity to let his senior brother obtain a Dao Fruit.

No matter what, this person could be considered his guide into the Tianyu Immortal Sect.

Regarding the plotting for higher-level Dao Fruits, Lu Runping had been looking for opportunities.

But he had never found a suitable way.

After all, he wanted to scheme against cultivators above the Dao Harmonization Realm. If he was not careful, he might be traced out by the Dao of Cause and Effect.

Acting rashly, if the matter was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, he was cautious again and again. Decades passed, and he was at his wit's end.

He was just cultivating step by step, while trying every means to obtain some high-level resources from the Tianyu Immortal Sect.

Hearing Lu Runping say this, Chen Songming said with great emotion:

"I will definitely be proud of bringing you back from the woods back then."

After saying this, he paused and continued:

"I came here because there is another thing to tell you. Twenty months later, the Sheng Tian Secret Realm located in the Black Horn Domain will open. This secret realm only allows Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to enter. Inside is a secret collection of an ancient immortal sect. Master said to let you prepare and go in to obtain some opportunities.

At that time, you, me, and Senior Brother Qu, the three of us will go together. You follow us, with the care of Senior Brother Three, the three of us join forces, we can deal with most dangers, as long as we are cautious, obtain some opportunities, and stop when we see good."

Lu Runping actually didn't want to go to some unknown places that were not under his control to explore.

But thinking of his plotting for Dao Fruits, he couldn't help but have a plan in his heart. This was an opportunity.

Ancient Immortal Sect secret collection, obtaining some supernatural power spirit fruits, this is very reasonable, right?

Wanting to attract the attention of those old fellows who were about to die, only things that could prolong life could possibly do it.

Among all the supernatural powers he mastered, except for the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power that absolutely could not be leaked, only the 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 and 【Size as Desired】 supernatural powers could increase lifespan.

The former had too much cause and effect with the Lu family, so it was better not to let cultivators above the Dao Harmonization Realm perceive it.

The latter could be used as a choice.

The former was to replenish the consumed vitality, while the 【Size as Desired】 supernatural power could increase the storage limit of vitality, and increasing lifespan was no problem.

Lu Runping had now reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and had already increased quite a bit of lifespan by relying on these few supernatural powers.

In the journal left by the previous Patriarch on the Treasure Mirror, he had already learned that lifespan was the key to activating the 【Nail-Head Seven Arrows】 supernatural power, and the consumption was very large, so there must be enough reserves.

Back then, if Patriarch Chengtong had sufficient lifespan, he could have directly cursed and killed the other Wanjun Dragon Elephant clan cultivator, and would not have ended up being chased and fleeing all over the world, let alone the subsequent unfortunate sudden death.

In the following time, Lu Runping inquired a lot about the Sheng Tian Secret Realm in the Black Horn Domain.

This so-called ancient immortal sect was named 'Wan Gu Chang Qing Sect'. Seventy percent of those who came out safely from inside accounted for the total number of people who went in to explore, which meant there was about a twenty-five percent probability of not being able to come out after going in.

Major sects all made 'Life Soul Tablets', and Lu Runping also had one.

This thing actually had very strong cause and effect power. If this thing was used to track cause and effect, it was very likely to track him.

However, no sect was bored enough to take the Life Soul Tablet of a disciple as an object of 'calculating with fingers'.

In general, entering this secret realm still had risks.

But the benefits were also huge, otherwise Xue Yunzi would not let his disciple just go in like this.

Senior Sister Two Jin Yunqing obtained a 'Purple Jade Grape' from it, and after eating it, her mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivation directly improved to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and her aptitude was also improved.

It could be said that the role played by this spirit fruit was not small in her being able to successfully step into the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Such good things, of course, could not be easily obtained.

Inside, there were not only fierce beasts, formations, but also guarding against disciples of other sects.

In the Immortal Sect, disturbing cause and effect, even if robbed or killed inside, it was very difficult to find the murderer.

Therefore, after entering, except for one's own partners, do not easily trust others.

On this point, Senior Brother Three Qu Wanzong and Senior Brother Four Chen Songming both had entrustments.

Xue Yunzi did not explain specifically, and even did not say much about him going to the secret realm.

The three people bid farewell to the Tianyu Immortal Sect and went to the Black Horn Domain. Even taking the teleportation array, it took a full month on the road to arrive at the place.

A secret collection of a top-tier immortal sect was not something anyone was qualified to enter.

The Black Horn Domain only had one top-tier immortal sect, named 'Lingxiao Sword Sect'. Just by the name, one knew that this was a sword cultivator sect.

If it were not for such a powerful sect, it would not be able to suppress such a large secret collection.

The strength of an ordinary immortal sect could not deter those ordinary sects without an immortal path.

However, this secret collection was open to other first-class sects in the Black Horn Domain, and first-class sects could send disciples to enter the secret collection.

The so-called first-class sect was one with a Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch sitting in charge, but no Land Immortal.

One day, if the Land Immortal of the top-tier immortal sect ascends, without a new Land Immortal to suppress the luck, it will fall into a first-class sect.

There are quite a few first-class sects with deep foundations that have fallen from the ranks of top-tier immortal sects. They are more eager for top experts, hoping to have sect Elders who can break through to the Land Immortal Realm to lead the sect to glory again.

The Sheng Tian Secret Realm opens once every three hundred and sixty years, does not limit the number of people entering, but only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can enter. If Spirit Transformation strength is detected inside, they will be immediately transferred out.

In the Thirteen Domains of Central Continent, there are nineteen top-tier immortal sects in total. The Lingxiao Sword Sect stipulates that every top-tier immortal sect has fifty places to enter the secret collection each time it opens.

Some immortal sects will transfer the unused places.

Top-tier immortal sects recruit very few disciples, so they might not be able to gather fifty Nascent Soul Realm disciples willing to enter the secret collection.

This is, after all, a risky thing.

For example, the Tianyu Immortal Sect only had thirty-seven people participating, and the extra places were not transferred.

Sigh, just not using them, what's wrong with wasting them?

Top-tier immortal sects are not short of the resources of selling places.

Disciples of the Tianyu Immortal Sect rushed from all over, so they did not gather uniformly, but gathered once they arrived at the place.

A Spirit Transformation Realm Deacon of the sect was specifically responsible for this matter.

Handing over the personnel information entering the secret realm with the people of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, everyone obtained a jade tablet, which was the proof of entering the sword formation set up by the Lingxiao Sword Sect to isolate the secret realm.

Without this thing, even a Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch could not break through the sword formation.

Before entering the secret realm, the Spirit Transformation Realm Elder of the sect finally entrusted:

"After one hundred days inside, you will be automatically teleported out. If the time is not enough, you cannot come out.

During this period, you must ensure that at least three people are together, so that it is safe enough."

Everyone agreed, and then entered the secret realm! ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
