Chapter 125

Among the entire palace cluster, this was one of the three largest.

The inherent deceptive and identification arrays were naturally also of the highest level.

Within the Tianyu Immortal Sect, even though disciples walked around freely as if there were no obstacles, in reality, there were arrays everywhere; it was just that the disciples carried identity tokens, and the arrays would not activate after identifying their aura.

This was not a savage region like the Beihuang Yu; there were many kinds of arrays, and the array flags used to set them up were relatively much cheaper to purchase.

Therefore, within every sect, almost everything was shrouded by various sets of arrays.

If Lu Runping wanted to break into the Tianyu Immortal Sect as easily as his ancestor Lu Chengtong had broken into the Tianling Sect, it would absolutely be a suicidal act.

When Lu Runping went to great lengths to forge the identity of Lv Gong, this was one of the reasons.

As an ancient immortal sect and once one of the top sects, the arrays of the Wan Gu Chang Qing Sect were naturally also extremely complex.

Thanks to the summaries left by those who had come to the secret realm before, most of the arrays here could be easily broken after being identified, but the massive array before them had stumped numerous cultivators.

Lu Runping recognized the attire of one of the groups at a glance.

They were people from the Kongming Immortal Sect of the Lianze Domain.

Black base with white-gold patterns, embroidered with the form of a Kunpeng—this was the standard dharma robe of the Kongming Immortal Sect.

There were five of them in total.

The other group wore dharma robes with a cyan base, gold-trimmed black clouds, and blue immortal cranes; these were people from the Luoyun Immortal Sect of the Baiyun Domain, also a top-tier immortal sect.

Like Lu Runping and his group, they were also three people.

When Lu Runping and the others entered, they happened to hear a female cultivator from the Luoyun Immortal Sect saying:

"This array is called the Nine Dragons Wood Locking Array. With our Nascent Soul realm cultivation, to break it, we need ten people acting together."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Runping and the other two happened to enter.

"It's disciples from the Tianyu Immortal Sect; this time it should be enough. This place will be jointly developed by our three families; others will not be allowed in."

A male cultivator from the Kongming Immortal Sect said this, taking out a stone and placing it at the entrance. Some words appeared on it; this was to inform those who came later not to force their way in, as this place had already been occupied.

Although it was said that this place did not involve karma, those who entered were all disciples of major sects, and everyone's strength was comparable. Once a battle started, it was equivalent to risking one's life; even if one could win, one would likely be severely injured and very possibly hunted down by others later.

Therefore, everyone tried to be as polite as possible and did not initiate war.

Furthermore, with disciples from three sects together, no one would be so blind as to force their way in.

The male cultivator who placed the large stone took the initiative to introduce himself to Lu Runping and the others.

"Greetings, three fellow Daoists. We three are disciples of the Kongming Immortal Sect; my name is Cao Hongyi. These five are disciples of the Luoyun Immortal Sect, and this is Fairy Yun Zheng. Fairy Yun Zheng is skilled in the way of arrays; she has just obtained the method to break the array, but it requires ten fellow Daoists to do so."

He paused here, and Qu Wanzong immediately chimed in:

"We are willing to help with all our might. After the array is broken, we shall each search on our own, and whatever we obtain will depend entirely on our own ability. How about that?"

Such an arrangement was actually more advantageous to the Luoyun Immortal Sect because they had five people.

But among the five from the Luoyun Immortal Sect, three were female cultivators, and whether it was the Tianyu Immortal Sect side or the Kongming Immortal Sect side, they were all male cultivators, so it was not easy to contend with them.

Therefore, such an arrangement could be considered reasonable.

Everyone agreed without objection and began to break the array.

Since ten people were needed to break the array, Lu Runping was left behind, and everyone else went up.

Lu Runping only saw the ten people disappear from his field of vision; this array isolated external scouting, and his incarnation could not see the situation inside.

But the main body of Lu Runping in Qingyang City could see it clearly using the 【Round Light Image Projection】 supernatural power.

This supernatural power of his was very powerful and could see through the essence of things.

Although this area had arrays set up, in the manifested image, everyone was walking around in a disorderly fashion and was not affected by the array's observation.

Lu Runping's heart stirred. Did this mean he could ignore the illusion array, as long as he let his incarnation pass through the array according to his own instructions?

Thinking this, the incarnation began to move quickly. Sure enough, after shielding the incarnation's perception and letting him act according to the instructions of the main body under the third-person perspective, the illusion array had no effect on him at all, and the trigger condition for the attack array was for the intruder to actively release an attack.

Therefore, he passed through the array blockade without any obstruction and entered the true palace.

Without a word, he swept everything his divine sense touched into his storage ring, not caring at all what the treasures were. In less than half a quarter of an hour, he had taken everything that could be taken.

Finally, he took out the box he had prepared long ago and placed it in a hidden treasure spot under the floor.

This box was something Lu Runping had spent effort to acquire a year ago; it originally belonged to this secret realm, and it contained a type of pill. The pill had naturally been used, but the box had been preserved.

It itself belonged to this secret realm, and the prepared supernatural power seed had also been inside for quite some time, so it could be considered to have been tainted with the secret realm's karma.

Now that it was being taken out of the secret realm, combined with the karma interference of the secret realm itself, it would certainly not be discovered.

After confirming the subsequent performance method, Lu Runping returned to his initial standing position, waiting for them to continue breaking the array, hiding the smile in his eyes.

He had not expected such a good opportunity to appear, with everyone entering the array, allowing him to take the chance to set things up.

Under the command of Fairy Yun Zheng, another quarter of an hour later, the array was broken.

Everyone appeared before the incarnation, and at the same time, the true face of the palace was exposed.

This was the main hall, with a plaque hanging above it, inscribed with the four large characters 'Ruyi True Immortal'.

Lu Runping felt this was heaven's will. Although the 'Ruyi' in 'Ruyi True Immortal' certainly had nothing to do with the 'Ruyi' in the 【Size Ruyi】 supernatural power seed he had placed, it would be very convincing if the Dao Seed appeared now.

And everyone was somewhat excited to see the name 'True Immortal'. Since it was a hall dedicated to a Land Immortal, there must be quite a few good things, right?

Everyone scattered to search, divided into three batches, and turned the place upside down, but they only found two or three items that looked very ordinary.

That was Lu Runping's oversight; he had been too eager, so he hadn't been able to sweep everything clean and had left them a few items.

The people from the three immortal sects gathered again in the main hall. Although they all said they hadn't found anything good, no one believed it; everyone thought the other two sects had obtained something and were deliberately pretending to be poor.

At this time, Lu Runping deliberately cursed.

"And they call this the residence of the Ruyi True Immortal? How could it be so shabby?"

As he spoke, he seemingly casually patted a certain spot. With a 'crack', a mechanism appeared on the ground, and a box emerged.

The three parties stared at the box, looking at each other, all somewhat vigilant.

The atmosphere became tense.
