Chapter 143 Landing on the Island
Chapter 143 Landing on the Island
While Meng Chun was talking with the group of people, Dizha, who was not far away, was also keeping an eye on his situation.
After just a quick observation, she found that Meng Chun got along well with them. Although there was some intimidation from her presence, it at least made her feel a little more at ease.
Venerable Xundao looked at the nearby Wuliang Island and then spoke to Emperor Qian again, "Senior, we are about to land on the island. I wonder if you could take care of my disciples in that secret realm?"
Emperor Xuan glanced at him calmly and said indifferently: "I won't take action unless it's a matter of life and death."
Seeing her agreement, Venerable Xundao temporarily put aside his worries and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior."
Emperor Qi just watched the spirit boat slowly descend and did not respond to his thanks.
Only after the spirit boat arrived did Meng Chun separate from the crowd and return to her side.
"Senior, I'm back."
The indifference in Dizha's eyes faded, and he nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go."
Venerable Xundao led the way, and everyone followed him down the spirit boat and headed towards the center of Wuliang Island.
Venerable Xundao walked through numerous obstacles in front of him before leading everyone into the center. From the outside, it looked like a rugged island.
But after passing through many mazes, everyone discovered that the center of the island was actually a flat land surrounded by dense forests.
In the middle of the verdant ground, there is an ancient tree more than ten meters tall, with green leaves, a huge trunk, and a gap as wide as a person split in the middle of the trunk of the ancient tree.
Everyone looked at the ancient tree in front of them, and an indescribable sense of tranquility and wilderness penetrated their hearts. The excitement and tension along the way were soothed by the breath emitted by the ancient tree.
Emperor Qian looked at the ancient tree, and a faint golden light flashed in his eyes. The ancient tree gave her a very mysterious feeling, making her feel that it was not something that could grow in this world.
She couldn't help but ask the system in her mind, "Jiusheng, since you are a system, do you know what kind of tree this is?"
[Host, please wait a moment. Jiusheng will help you check...]
"Ah."
Venerable Xundao, who was standing by, was still explaining what happened during the training to the disciples who were participating in it.
Since this secret realm was opened for the first time, to put it bluntly, this group of disciples was also there to explore the way for future generations.
So at that time, except for Meng Chun, all other disciples will need to draw blueprints and bring them back to Xuantian Sect.
This can be considered as a reward to Xuantian Sect. Emperor Qian was a little displeased when he saw that the system had not responded for a long time. "Hasn't found anything yet?"
[Host... I'm so sorry, this ancient tree is not in my database...]
Upon hearing this, Dizha frowned slightly. She looked at the ancient tree indifferently and couldn't help speculating in her heart.
At this time, Venerable Xundao walked up to her, bowed respectfully, and said, "Senior, I have already given you everything you need to know. Would you like to open the secret realm now?"
Emperor Qian suppressed his thoughts, turned around and asked coldly, "How do I open it?"
Venerable Xundao took out six black gold tokens and said, "Senior, the black gold token I gave you last time is the key to open this secret realm."
Emperor Zhao raised his hand, took out the token and placed it in his hand.
Venerable Xundao immediately stepped forward with the tokens, and seven black gold tokens were unfolded in front of him.
As the spiritual power was stimulated, the tokens flew into the cracks of the ancient tree one by one.
A dazzling light curtain appeared in the crack, and upon seeing this, Venerable Xundao withdrew his spiritual power.
He turned and said to everyone, "This secret realm has been opened. You may enter in turn. After the training is over, these seven tokens will transform into seven teleportation arrays. When the time comes, you only need to find the teleportation array to teleport back."
"Yes, thank you very much, Your Excellency!" Everyone bowed and expressed their gratitude.
The disciples of various sects who could no longer wait stepped forward first, but they were smart. They were afraid of being left alone after entering the secret realm, so they used their spiritual power to transform into ropes to tie up their teammates.
After they entered, the descendants of the royal family naturally would not lag behind. However, when Yang Xingyuan invited Meng Chun, he was rejected with his eyes by Emperor Qian who was standing beside him.
When they got closer to the light curtain, Emperor Qian reached out and held Meng Chun tightly, and disappeared from the sight of Venerable Xundao and the major sect leaders.
Meng Chun originally thought that it would be like last time, with the feeling of quickly penetrating the air flow, but when they entered the light curtain, what came into view was a scarlet world.
The disciples who came in first were already frightened by the world before them.
A scarlet crescent moon hung in the silent night sky. Under the red moonlight, the only different color on the ground was the faint white light reflected by the smooth stone surface.
Occasionally, a black wind would blow, stirring up a cloud of dust, and before anyone could react, an extremely disgusting fishy smell would hit them in the face.
"Ugh! What the hell is this thing?!" Yang Xingyuan said while covering his nose.
The fishy smell made Meng Chun dream back to his experience in the misty swamp, but because Di Qi was beside him, he had to use his spiritual power to block his sense of smell for the sake of his image.
Di Qi looked at the scene in front of her, and her extremely powerful spiritual sense spread out directly in all directions. However, half a minute later, she found that her spiritual sense did not find anything different.
The other disciples also used their spiritual power to block their sense of smell. Li Kun glanced at the royal descendants standing beside him.
He said to his teammates, "The ground here is probably not suitable for walking. Why don't we fly forward on our swords and get out of the area first?"
Song Chao nodded in agreement, "Okay, it looks so dead here, I guess there's nothing good here."
The other disciples also agreed. After they finished speaking, they summoned their weapons and flew away on their swords regardless of the reactions of others.
The other royal descendants looked at each other, then summoned their weapons and prepared to fly with their swords.
Meng Chun watched their movements, thought for a moment, and said to Zhang Qibo and the others, "Brother Zhang, I just used my spiritual sense to take a look and found that the area here is very vast. If I fly with my sword, I'm afraid it will consume a huge amount of spiritual energy."
Zhang Qibo also nodded and agreed, "That's true, so I think walking would be better."
After hearing what he said, the others thought about it secretly and then took up their weapons.
Yang Xingyuan's elder brother, Yang Yuxiao, came up to them and asked doubtfully, "Qi Bo, if we don't fly with our swords, it would be difficult to leave this place just by walking, right?"
Zhang Qibo frowned and thought, "But if I fly with a sword, my spiritual energy will be severely consumed. If I encounter danger then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."
Meng Chun thought for a moment and said, "We can use some weak spiritual power to give it to our legs. This way, we won't consume too much spiritual power. At the same time, it can keep our bodies in a moderate state. If we encounter danger, we won't be in a passive position."
Ling Mo stepped forward and said, "I think this is feasible. After all, our realms are both above the Nascent Soul stage, and our bodies are much stronger than those of ordinary cultivators."
Yang Yuxiao nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Okay, let's use Master Meng's method."
Meng Chun also made a friendly gesture when he heard this, and the team of twenty people continued to move across the scarlet ground.
Li Kun and his group, who had left early on their swords, also distanced themselves from them.
