It turned out that Jiang Tu, stimulated by this starlight, revealed his true form of a dragon's head and tail.

Translation: "'Alright, I'll give it to you when we return.' Jiang Yu regretted not moving the two spirit fruits from the Spirit Sword Space into the dragon pearl; after returning to the sect, she would certainly do so at the first opportunity."

"Let it rest in the spirit beast bag for a day or two, taking one pill daily for three days." After giving these instructions, Sui Lv Zhenjun swiftly flew off to retrieve the fish plaques.

Translation: "However, not all of the three hundred sixty 'stars' have a Supreme Ultimate Fish Plaque, and they also unleash an unnecessary attack when touched by a person."

Even Jiang Yu, who didn't fly up to touch them, was not let off.

After leaving, it's uncertain whether they could re-enter smoothly.

Jiang Yu clearly understood this, and she stuck more than ten golden bell talismans on herself: "Master, keep searching; I can hold out."

Meanwhile, by the Bichun River, the cultivators searched everywhere for Sui Lv Zhenjun and Jiang Yu but couldn't find them; gradually a group dispersed, leaving only one guardian from each sect.

Of course, they weren't there to see Dai Lin's life or death, but to enter this unknown secret realm to seek opportunity.

Translation: "Of course, they weren't there to see Dai Lin's life or death, but to enter this unknown secret realm to seek opportunity."

Although everyone suspected that Jiang Yu had entered again, there was nothing they could do since they couldn't find anyone.

Translation: "Although everyone suspected Jiang Yu had entered again, there was nothing they could do without finding her."

Xue Miao, however, was fuming, because from her grandfather she already knew that Sui Lv Zhenjun had brought Jiang Yu into the secret realm again.

Grandfather, if you hesitate any longer, everything will be snatched away.

But Xue Qizhenjun simply wouldn't budge; after being annoyed by her, he coldly said: "This is not the territory of the Taixu Sect, but in the mundane world, any discovered secret realm gives the first discoverer priority to explore."

Translation: "But Xue Qi True Monarch wouldn't budge; after being annoyed by her, he straightened his face and said, 'This is not the territory of the Grand Void Sect, but in the mundane world, any discovered secret realm gives the first discoverer priority to explore.'"

Translation: "If it's a false secret realm, it's not worth offending Sui Lv to enter; if it's a true secret realm, even one or two people going in couldn't possibly exhaust all the treasures."

Xue Miao, this has been the rule in the cultivation world for many years; do you want your grandfather to lead the way in breaking it?

Translation: "Xue Miao, this has been the rule in the cultivation world for years; do you want your grandfather to take the lead in breaking it?"

"I..." Xue Miao, feeling guilty, avoided her grandfather's gaze, inwardly cursing Jiang Yu dozens of times.

Translation: "'I...' Xue Miao avoided her grandfather's gaze guiltily, cursing Jiang Yu dozens of times in her heart."

However, Jiang Yu couldn't hear any of this, unaffected; after her master took all the Supreme Ultimate Fish Plaques, she swiftly exited the formation.

Translation: "However, Jiang Yu couldn't hear it either, utterly unaffected; after Master took all the Supreme Ultimate Fish Plaques, she neatly exited the formation."

The idea of opening and dissolving the Great Zhou Tian Stars Formation was not something she wanted, nor did Sui Lv Zhenjun.

On the contrary, after exiting the formation, he led Jiang Yu in continuously mining spiritual ore, hoping to extract another top-grade spirit stone.

Translation: "Instead, after exiting the formation, he led Jiang Yu in continuously mining spirit ore, hoping to extract another top-grade spirit stone."

Translation: "Unfortunately, not only did they not see top-grade again, even high-grade spirit stones were gone; only medium- and low-grade remained, and Sui Lv Zhenjun didn't want to waste time on them."

It's not that he doesn't love spirit stones, but mining low-grade ones by the millions would require staying here for at least a month, which is truly unnecessary.

Translation: "It's not that he doesn't love spirit stones, but mining low-grade spirit stones by the millions would require staying here at least a month, which is truly unnecessary."

But when he emerged from the mine, the outside environment had undergone a huge change; where there once grew grass and trees, now it was completely bald.

Translation: "But when he came out of the mine cave, the outside environment had undergone a huge change; where there once grew grass and trees, now it was completely bald."

Translation: "Previously, Jiang Yu had set up a formation to protect Dai Lin's position, but neither person nor trace of the formation remained."

"He's missing now; is the ground here running away?"

Translation: 'He's missing now; is the ground here running away?'

"Possibly, it's due to changes in the Great Zhou Tian Formation causing these variations."

Translation: "'Possibly, it's the change of the Heavenly Grand Formation causing these changes.'

"The exit is likely different as well." Sui Lv Zhenjun escaped together in a flash of light, and they instantly stood in midair.

Translation: "'The exit is likely different as well.' Sui Lv Zhenjun escaped together in a flash of light, and they instantly stood in midair."

Jiang Yu extended her divine sense as far as possible to observe; what she saw was clearly different — the mountains were not in their original places, and the waters did not follow their former courses.

Translation: "Jiang Yu extended her divine sense as far as possible to observe; what met her eyes was indeed different—mountains were not in their original places, waters did not follow their original courses."

Yet she could see a grove; upon closer inspection, it was clearly the orchard where she had previously picked up Lei Mu stones, but it too had shifted position.

Translation: "But she could see a grove; upon closer look, it was clearly the fruit grove where she had previously picked thunder mother stones, yet it too had changed position."

She couldn't help but marvel at how miraculous the formation was; the mine they were in felt no change in the outside environment, and she hadn't heard a single sound.

Translation: "She couldn't help but marvel at how miraculous the formation was; the mine cave they were in felt no change in the outside environment, not even a single sound had been heard."

Suddenly she heard Xue Qizhenjun's voice: "Daoist Sui Lv, this way."

Translation: "Suddenly she heard Xue Qi True Monarch's voice: 'Sui Lv Dao Friend, this way.'"

Sui Lv Zhenjun turned his escape light toward Xue Zhenjun's location; Jiang Yu saw the cultivators who had previously stood by the riverbank, and now there were several more who had formed golden cores.

Translation: "Sui Lv Zhenjun turned his escape light toward Xue Zhenjun here; Jiang Yu saw the cultivators who had previously stood by the riverbank, and now there were several more Golden Core cultivators."

However, a layer of light barrier separated the two sides.

Xue Qizhenjun spoke frankly: "Daoist Sui Lv, just half an hour ago we suddenly discovered we could walk into the mountain that had previously been split open."

Translation: "Xue Qi True Monarch said bluntly, 'Sui Lv Dao Friend, just half an hour ago we suddenly discovered we could walk into the mountain previously split open.'

There, besides shattered stone and broken jade, all other traces had been swept away by heavenly thunder, and there were no spiritual objects whatsoever around.

Translation: 'There, besides broken stone and shattered jade, all other traces have been swept away by heavenly thunder, and there are no spiritual objects whatsoever around.'

I don't know; perhaps Junior Friend Jiang could point out a clear path.

Translation: 'I don't know; perhaps Little Friend Jiang could point out a clear path.'

Sui Lv Zhenjun glanced around at the others, then slowly said to Xue Zhenjun: "There is a medium-grade spirit stone mine here, inside which a formation seals one; I fear we, master and disciple, may not be able to get out for a while."

Fellow Daoist Xue, let's both release infant fire, simultaneously boil open a bit of the light shield, and let everyone come in to gather spirit stones—is that feasible?

Jiang Yu saw that, when the master said to gather spirit stones, the people opposite were all excited beyond compare; compared to ordinary spirit herbs, having spirit stones could possibly buy everything.
