Chapter 852: 852 Chapter Xin’s Secret
Jiang Xiaobai wasted no time and began to cultivate, trying to absorb this terrifying power.
At the same time, he was curious.
What exactly was going on?
Wasn’t it about building a foundation?
In reality, the purpose of the Jiuyou Godly Water was indeed so, but it required tremendous willpower to withstand.
The stronger the power, the greater the threat faced!
It was best to enjoy the enhancement from Jiuyou Godly Water during the Great Achievement phase.
However, even Great Achievement required going through a life-and-death struggle to survive it.
Jiang Xiaobai had no idea that after he had entered the lake, the Zixiao Yuan Spirit was frantically absorbing Jiuyou Godly Water, and at the same time, it was slowly nurturing his meridians and dantian through the power of the primal spirit!
In places Jiang Xiaobai was unaware of, his entire body had already been transformed!
It was almost a perfect Immortal Body!
The only thing was, he himself didn’t know what his current situation was…
It took him nearly half a day to completely absorb that terrifying power.
The old man had already disappeared without a trace.
He could only return the way he had come; by the time he got back to shore, he saw Gu Ning and Qiao Yunshen laughing heartily about something.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai, Gu Ning stood up, “Alright, the task is complete. After sending you back, you should cultivate well.”
“Wait, what benefit is there for me this time?”
“You have already condensed a Dustless Immortal Body.”
Gu Ning spoke indifferently, “The benefit, for now, you cannot enjoy. Once you become a true Immortal, you will understand.”
“Besides, let me tell you, the world is not as simple as you think. What you consider the Upper Three Thousand, in some places, it’s nothing at all.”
“The rules of the world are an existence beyond your imagination, and with this Immortal Body, you will suffer a lot less.”
“With that said, let’s go. When you become a true Immortal, your master will come to fulfill the previous promise.”
With a light laugh, Gu Ning pulled the two of them and rushed towards the sky.
Soon, they appeared at the entrance of the sword palace of Purgatory God Sword Sect, and Gu Ning had already vanished.
“Your master really does come and go without a trace.”
Qiao Yunshen chuckled, “Too bad, this trip didn’t get completed. Once the secret realm is over, I must go out and play, the kind that nobody can stop me!”
“Alright, alright, you go play, I need to cultivate.”
“Ah? Just cultivating? Why are you guys so hardworking?”
With a pout, Qiao Yunshen complained, “Does that mean no one will accompany me again?”
“Aren’t you cultivating?”
“I’m about to become an Earth Immortal; if I cultivate any further, I won’t be able to enter the secret realm.”
Jiang Xiaobai took a sharp intake of breath. How could cultivation be as simple as eating and drinking for this girl?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
In the end, Qiao Yunshen was taken away by the arriving Qiao Yuyan.
Jiang Xiaobai rushed into his room and frantically consumed the resources Gu Ning had given him.
The previous gift of Jiuyou Godly Water had taken him to the fifth realm, consuming those resources would definitely lead to a breakthrough to a true Immortal!
All the tasks were about to begin!
In a cave in the Wood Spirit World.
A silver-haired figure stood up.
Behind her, an old crone’s face was filled with satisfaction.
“Yueer, your inheritance has completely ended now. The glory of this lineage will start afresh with you!”
“Why can’t the cursed race of elves become orthodox?”
Qiongyu looked at the excited old crone in front of her without saying a word.
She simply bowed deeply.
“I will not return from this journey.”
As soon as Qiongyu finished speaking, she leapt away!
The moment she left, the old crone lay on the ground, evidently having breathed her last.
But before she died, a contented smile still graced her face.
In the cave, it seemed that a voice still lingered.
“As long as the inheritance isn’t lost, all is well…”
Three days quickly passed by.
Jiang Xiaobai was so immersed in cultivation that he couldn’t extricate himself.
The items Gu Ning had provided were indeed excellent; those materials would have cost a fortune if purchased with immortal stones,
but he still hadn’t reached ultimate perfection.
He was still just a bit short of breaking through to become a true immortal.
“It’s not a big deal, just perfect, I can keep it for a time of need,” he muttered to himself.
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled coldly.
Thunder tribulation was a mighty weapon, a weapon unique to him, Jiang Xiaobai.
However, he was also somewhat curious, as there had been no news from Tang Yuanhua’s side since he entered the Wood Spirit World.
The door to the room was knocked, it was Qiao Yunshen, that girl, bringing Su Qingchen and the others over.
“We’re heading to the secret realm tomorrow, so hurry up and have some meat today,” she urged eagerly.
Qiao Yunshen excitedly dumped a large pile of meat to the side, her eyes eagerly fixed on Jiang Xiaobai.
“I’ve heard your cooking skills are excellent, so I’ll leave these meats to you!”
Jiang Xiaobai glanced over the selection and eventually started barbecuing the meat, while slicing a fish for sashimi.
The others were shocked when they learned of Jiang Xiaobai’s unusual way of eating.
But once they tried it, they were astonished.
While they were eating, someone else arrived!
It turned out to be Qiao Yuyan and Zhang Yuhua!
These two big shots actually came over for a meal.
“Xiaobai, the venture into the secret realm tomorrow is quite dangerous; this time, the situation is quite special,” said Zhang Yuhua.
While eating, Qiao Yuyan suddenly spoke up, “The matter has gotten too big. Many forces have arrived, and even the Immortal Alliance is struggling to control it.”
“So, what exactly is the issue? We’re going into the secret realm tomorrow, can’t you share the details now?” asked Jiang Xiaobai out of curiosity.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Yuyan nodded, “Indeed, there’s nothing that can’t be shared…”
Turns out, the issue originated from a major upheaval in the Wood Spirit World a while back!
The Wood Spirit World, considered a king among powers, the Elf Clan, had a battle for the selection of their holy maiden.
That wasn’t unusual, but then a demoness turned up out of nowhere.
She charged straight to the top, with none of the Elf Clan geniuses able to match her, and ultimately she succeeded in claiming the position of the holy maiden.
Such a prodigy ought to have been nurtured carefully, but for some unknown reason, she was cast out of the Elf Clan!
Afterward, a massive explosion occurred at the ancestral lands of the Elf Clan, rumored to be the work of the exiled individual.
The explosion led to the discovery of a secret realm.
While the Elf Clan was dealing with the aftermath, the Void Dragon World came in to cause trouble, claiming the secret realm was greatly relevant to them and demanded to take ownership by force.
Do you think the Elf Clan would be happy with that?
The dispute escalated, and there were even a few scuffles, but ultimately, the Elf Clan was no match for the Void Dragon World. Infuriated, the Elf Clan leaked the incident, and most of the superpowers across the three thousand worlds became aware of it!
Soon after, that exiled Elf Clan maiden suddenly reappeared, and using some unknown methods, she caused the secret realm to tremble. When the entrance loosened, a profound and mysterious aura leaked out.
That profound aura was astonishing.
“Anyway, the incident has blown up pretty big. The Void Dragon World is also kind of brainless; they’ve been aloof for too long, thinking that having dragon blood entitles them to whatever they want,” Zhang Yuhua commented.
“But after all, they are just human cultivators, not true dragons!”
“That’s basically it. There isn’t much else to say, but this secret realm really is mysterious. There’s a legend that mentions a similar secret realm opening thousands of years ago.”
“Afterward, an invincible powerhouse emerged in the three thousand worlds.”
“The Dark Night Emperor.”
