Chapter 774: Chapter 771: Rushing into the Secret Realm_1
Yang Chen didn’t know what Zhu Hailong meant, but he still closely followed Zhu Hailong to an uninhabited place.
When they arrived at the place, Zhu Hailong’s expression gradually became serious.
He opened his mouth and said: “Yang Chen, my friend, take this. It is a personal treasure of mine and is an Intermediate Mysterious Heavenly Treasure.”
Upon hearing the words “Intermediate Mysterious Heavenly Treasure,” Yang Chen was immediately startled, and his gaze locked onto the treasure, which turned out to be a ruler.
This ruler was purple in color and looked extremely luxurious. It was about as long as a person’s arm.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that this ruler was emitting a faint glow, and its surface was covered in runes. It was not difficult to judge that this ruler was a very powerful treasure.
“Elder Zhu, this, this is…” Yang Chen was slightly surprised.
He knew that if Zhu Hailong wasn’t confident, he would surely give him some powerful treasures to protect himself. But who could have imagined that he had underestimated Zhu Hailong’s intentions? Zhu Hailong seemingly had great ambitions this time, giving him this Intermediate Mysterious Heavenly Treasure.
Intermediate Mysterious Heavenly Treasures are already quite powerful items, usually reserved for those who have reached the Heaven Martial Realm.
As for High-grade Mysterious Heavenly Treasures, they are usually the sect’s ancestral treasures. Supreme Grade Mysterious Heavenly Treasures are even rarer and might not be obtained even by those superpowers as their sect’s ancestral treasure.
Thus, many times, Intermediate Mysterious Heavenly Treasures are already quite rare treasures.
“This ruler is called the Purple Cloud Ruler, and it has 3,200 prohibitions sealed on it. Among the Mysterious Heavenly Treasures, it is a powerful one. This ruler has the ability to refract True Qi techniques. When you hold this Purple Cloud Ruler and engage in combat, no one can ignore it. If necessary, you can use it to defend against enemies and catch them off guard,” Zhu Hailong explained.
Yang Chen’s eyes widened in surprise.
If what Zhu Hailong said was correct, then the Purple Cloud Ruler’s effects were indeed quite impressive.
With the ability to refract, it can reflect any technique during a battle. Even if it can’t reflect all the power back, a few layers of reflection would still make it impossible to ignore the Purple Cloud Ruler’s existence, as Zhu Hailong had said.
With that in mind, Yang Chen took the ruler and quickly said, “Thank you, Senior, for gifting me this Purple Cloud Ruler.”
“It’s nothing, Yang Chen. This Purple Cloud Ruler is just a loan from me,” Zhu Hailong, apparently afraid Yang Chen might forget about something, coughed twice and said, “Yang Chen, my friend, don’t forget the task I gave you after you take this ruler.”
“Senior, I remember the list of treasures you gave to the Junior. If I come across them, I’ll do my best to help you get them,” Yang Chen said.
Zhu Hailong calmly said, “Most of these treasures are in the Second Floor, so you need to hurry to the Second Floor as soon as possible. Once you’re in the Second Floor, you don’t have to worry about the other people from the Green Lotus Sect. Just focus on entering the Second Floor. Anyway, for those disciples of the Green Lotus Sect, entering the Second Floor is quite challenging, and they may not be able to break through at all.”
Yang Chen was puzzled, “Senior, you mean…”
“You’re not aware, but according to investigations by various forces, there isn’t much in the First Floor. Although there are some dangerous demonic beasts and the like, the key lies in the Second Floor. There are protectors guarding the Second Floor. Based on the current judgment, you must pass the test of these protectors to enter the Second Floor. If you can’t pass the test of these protectors, you won’t be able to enter the Second Floor,” Zhu Hailong said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen came to his senses, “I see.”
“So, by that time, if you pass the test of the protectors, you don’t have to worry about the other disciples of the Green Lotus Sect. It’s better for them to be safe and sound in the First Floor. The key lies in the Second Floor, where most of the treasures I want are located,” Zhu Hailong repeatedly instructed.
Yang Chen cupped his hands, “Elder Zhu, I understand. I will do my best on this trip.”
“Right, the most crucial part is the Slaughter God Spear. The Slaughter God Spear is the key. If you can get the Slaughter God Spear, it won’t be a problem for me to give you this Purple Cloud Ruler,” Zhu Hailong said solemnly.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, as Zhu Hailong’s intentions were quite clear.
Did he really think that if he got the Slaughter God Spear, he would be satisfied with just a single Purple Cloud Ruler?
Yang Chen wasn’t foolish, and he wouldn’t reveal a single word about the Slaughter God Spear to Zhu Hailong. However, he curiously asked, “Elder Zhu, Junior is curious, does the Purple Qi Secret Realm have a Third Level?”
“Based on what we have seen so far, there should be. But with our limited abilities as old fellows, it has become difficult for us to observe,” Zhu Hailong shook his head lightly, showing that his understanding of the Purple Qi Secret Realm was limited.
Yang Chen did not ask further.
Next, Zhu Hailong instructed him on a few more matters, which Yang Chen carefully kept in mind.
Afterward, Yang Chen returned to the Green Lotus Sect team once again and started the short wait.
Time passed, and the days and nights alternated.
A night passed in a blink of an eye.
However, even as time slipped away, no one dared to let their guard down. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the entrance of the secret realm, and it was obvious that they would react immediately if any movement occurred in the secret realm.
And finally…
Boom.
Just when the next day had just begun, the entrance of the secret realm suddenly underwent a solid-like change. Everyone could clearly see that the prohibitions at the entrance of the secret realm dissolved instantly, leaving only one layer, and the entrance became unobstructed.
This last layer of prohibition was clearly a restriction on one’s Martial Arts strength.
“The secret realm is open!”
“The Purple Qi Secret Realm is open, get ready!”
“Everyone, get ready and enter the secret realm!”
In an instant, the higher-ups of various forces gave orders, and their geniuses underneath became alert without any hesitation, with all of their hairs standing on end, not daring to slack off in any way.
Zhu Hailong was also sweating nervously and immediately shouted, “Get ready quickly!”
Those geniuses under 40 years old from the Green Lotus Sect immediately gathered with Yang Chen at the forefront, and Li Ruoxiang’s Incarnation Qingyin stood behind him, representing the team of the Green Lotus Sect’s geniuses.
“Let’s go! Enter the secret realm!” Zhu Hailong instructed.
They were not the first to enter the secret realm. A group of talented individuals under 40 years old had already entered the secret realm. Even as they watched these geniuses easily enter the secret realm, the high-level members of other forces no longer hesitated.
Zhu Hailong was no exception, as he quickly ordered his geniuses.
Yang Chen led the way with no ambiguity, directly leading the talented individuals under his command into the secret realm.
