Chapter 45 - By the Way, Didn\'t Your Spirit Peak Produce a Monster Recently?

Suddenly, a powerful pressure surged forth, causing the entire square to fall silent.

In the front of the square, a middle-aged man appeared, dressed in a blue robe and carrying a long sword on his back.

True qi surrounded his body, revealing him to be a formidable Sea Cleaving Realm expert.

“Greetings, Elder,” everyone immediately bowed and saluted.

“Hmm,” the middle-aged man nodded slightly. “You can call me Elder Ye, and I am in charge of matters regarding the secret realm. Now, let me introduce the situation of the Xuanqing Realm.”

Elder Ye wasted no time and began to explain.

Although Kong Linxue had mentioned it before, Meng Changqing still listened carefully, checking for any differences.

The Xuanqing Realm was vast, with rolling mountains, ancient forests, and various landscapes.

In addition to abundant opportunities, there were also certain dangers, primarily from the native beasts of the realm, which were suppressed by the sect and served as stepping stones for disciples’ growth.

However, there were rare cases of disciples being killed by these beasts, despite the sect providing a teleportation token for swift escape from the realm.

“This time, the sect has made some changes to the Xuanqing Realm,” Elder Ye said slowly, causing a stir among the disciples as such changes had never happened before.

“In the territories of some powerful demon beasts, many precious items, mostly third-grade, have been placed,” he continued.

This statement instantly excited everyone.

It was well known that the resources in the Xuanqing Realm were mostly second-grade, suitable for Aperture Connecting Realm cultivation.

Higher-grade resources were typically found in the Taiqing Realm, so the fact that some had been moved to the Xuanqing Realm meant that disciples could obtain resources for Sea Cleaving Realm cultivation in advance.

“Third-grade items?” Meng Changqing’s eyes lit up.

High-grade resources were extremely precious, and while their sect was large, it couldn’t satisfy every disciple’s cultivation needs.

Therefore, to maintain a rapid cultivation progress, one had to find and compete for resources themselves.

If he could swallow all the high-grade resources in this secret realm, he wouldn’t have to worry about his cultivation needs after reaching the Sea Cleaving Realm.

It wouldn’t be difficult to reach the peak of the Sea Cleaving Realm or even the fifth or sixth level.

“The specific locations of the demon beasts are marked on the map,” Elder Ye waved his hand, and countless dots of light fell towards the crowd.

They reached out and caught one.

Meng Changqing opened one and found it similar to what Kong Linxue had described, albeit less detailed.

Many places were only roughly marked without specific resource indications.

It seemed Kong Linxue’s information was more “specific” and belonged to genuine insider knowledge, not something everyone could know.

“Senior Sister Kong,” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly.

Soon, he shook his head slightly and focused on the center of the map.

There, there were nearly twenty red circles, each varying in depth of color, but overall, they darkened from the outer to the inner.

From this, it could be inferred that the red circles represented the level of danger and the value of resources within.

In short, the higher the rewards, the greater the risks.

Meng Changqing put away the map and tucked it into his chest.

The sudden change by the sect had indeed disrupted his plans, but it didn’t matter.

For strong disciples, this was actually a beneficial change, as it meant more and better rewards.

“Remember, the higher the rewards, the greater the risks. These demon beasts are different from before, so it’s best to proceed with caution,” Elder Ye warned, dampening the excitement of the disciples.

Instantly, everyone understood – stronger beasts meant greater danger. Despite being suppressed by the sect, the beasts in the Xuanqing Realm were not weak.

On the contrary, they were quite formidable.

“Alright, come forward one by one to receive the teleportation tokens and enter,” Elder Ye instructed, his hands forming seals as he infused true qi into the square beneath his feet.

Boom!

As if a mechanism had been triggered, the square trembled, and a massive portal appeared behind Elder Ye, swirling like a vortex – the entrance to the secret realm.

“The secret realm is open!” many disciples shouted, eager to enter.

Though the beasts were dangerous, the resources were more important.

One by one, they received the teleportation tokens and stepped into the vortex, disappearing from sight.

Meng Changqing also hastened his pace and entered the secret realm.

“This batch of inner disciples has quite a few promising talents,” another figure suddenly appeared behind Elder Ye. He appeared older, with thick, bushy beards and a long knife on his back, exuding a wild aura.

This person was also an elder, with the same status as Elder Ye, responsible for the inner disciples, but from the Martial Arts Peak.

“Well, they’re not inferior to the previous batch, and even better in some aspects,” Elder Ye nodded, producing a dossier containing information on many disciples.

“In the previous batch, the Penalty Peak’s Duan Hun would have been the most outstanding disciple, having mastered a high-level profound martial technique to perfection. But now, the Shi Brothers from the Purple Nourishment Peak seem to possess special physiques or bloodlines that make them superior from birth. They’ve even mastered the ‘Heavenly Domineering Body’ to perfection. Duan Hun is no longer their match,” Elder Ye said, causing some surprise.

“The Mad Blade from your Martial Arts Peak is also good, but unfortunately, he hasn’t perfected the ‘Madness Technique’ yet. Xiao Zhen from the Formation Peak and Wen Tianming from the Medicine King Peak are in the same situation,” he continued.

“Your information is outdated,” Elder Lin smirked, though his beard was too thick to discern, “the Mad Blade has already reached perfection.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Ye raised an eyebrow. The ‘Madness Technique’ of the Martial Arts Peak was derived from a higher-level martial scripture, also a high-level profound technique. With this, Duan Hun had no advantage.

“By the way, didn’t your Spirit Peak produce a monster recently?” Elder Lin chuckled.

“Just at the Aperture Connecting Realm, he comprehended sword qi and, at the Fourth Realm, slew Ghost Finger Bei Qianke,” Elder Lin said with evident envy.

The ‘qi’ in martial arts, not something many could comprehend, even among true disciples!
