#864 - It's really not a good place

Jun Wuxie's heart was filled with turmoil upon hearing Suzaku's words.

At this moment, the Grand Elder and Songzan were joining forces to open the passage.

Special runes emerged from the palms of their hands, like keys to open the Heavenly Secret Land.

Those runes were driven into the atmosphere below, and the calm atmosphere suddenly surged, gradually forming a vortex with a diameter of a thousand meters, like a rapidly rotating tornado.

"The passage is open, but it will take time to gradually stabilize. You must all be prepared."

The Grand Elder released all the young supreme beings from his Qiankun Sleeve.

"Yinlan, Qingcheng, Yunxi, Yan Ruyu, do not separate when you arrive in the secret land. Travel together. It is not as simple as you imagine here, and there may be unknown dangers lurking!"

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he transmitted his voice to the Kun Rong and Kun Yu siblings, telling them that it was best to travel together and not act alone.

After that, he exhorted the other young supreme beings, telling them to use the area they entered as a starting point and not to go too deep.

"Cangtian, Bafeng, do not attack the young supreme beings of my Eternal Ancient Academy when you arrive in the secret land. Also, this secret land is not as peaceful as you imagine. There may be great dangers lurking inside. Be careful."

He transmitted his thoughts to the two of them.

"Hmph, except for you, I am not interested in the other young supreme beings of your Eternal Ancient Academy. Although Ji Yinlan and others are extremely powerful, I do not hit women."

Bafeng responded with a humph. His words sounded somewhat tsundere, which did not match his stern face and wild temperament.

Jun Wuxie smiled and said nothing, thinking, can you beat Yinlan?

"There are indeed dangers inside, and it is not a good place. Don't die inside, otherwise I will be lonely without an opponent and a goal."

Cangtian's indifferent voice sounded in Jun Wuxie's mind.

…

The entrance vortex rotated faster and faster, and it was almost impossible to see the vortex moving. The space gradually stabilized.

"The passage is almost ready. Remember, be careful when you get inside. Although it is said that no terrible dangers have been found inside in previous sessions, you must not take it lightly."

The Grand Elder began to exhort everyone.

Jun Wuxie frowned slightly and secretly transmitted his thoughts: "Has there really been no danger in the Heavenly Secret Land in previous sessions?"

"No, although some people have fallen in the secret land, they basically died in battles."

Jun Wuxie stopped talking. This was intriguing and really strange.

Suzaku said that the Heavenly Secret Land was not a good place. As a dignified Heavenly Emperor, she must have seen through the situation inside.

Cangtian said that there were dangers inside, which should be a reminder from the Heavenly Dao.

No matter what, the Heavenly Secret Land was a dangerous place.

But the problem was, so many people had entered in previous sessions, but there were no problems.

Even if there was a great danger lurking in the core area, it didn't seem to make sense.

So many people, haven't they ever reached the core area?

"Forget it, it will be clear when we get inside. I believe we will soon see what is hidden in this secret land. I only hope that other people will not encounter danger."

He was not so worried about Ji Yinlan and the others, after all, they had the Qiankun Battle Armor, but the other young supreme beings of the Ancient Academy were different.

At this moment, the Grand Elder's voice interrupted his thoughts: "The passage to the Heavenly Secret Land has entered a stable state. Enter quickly! Remember, the time limit is only three months. After three months, this passage will be completely closed, and you will only be trapped inside forever. From the moment you enter the secret land, you must carefully calculate the time. In the last few days, do not be greedy for anything and come out quickly!"

As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, Songzan from the Ancient Tongtian Mansion signaled their people to enter the secret land, but was stopped by the Grand Elder.

"Songzan, you have lost your last bit of face, haven't you? You lost, and you have to wait until tomorrow to enter the secret land. Now, stay here obediently!"

"Wangu Tian, you are so ruthless. Look at your smug look. It's just one day. In the past, we always entered the secret land one day earlier. This time, we will let you go in first, hmph!"

"Elder Songzan is so generous. The word 'let' is used wonderfully."

Jun Wuxie mocked and said, "It's just that Elder Songzan's so-called 'letting' is letting a dozen young supreme beings and an elder die to let, right?"

"You…"

Songzan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and his face was flushed.

Many of them were high-level figures from various forces, and they all gave Songzan a contemptuous look.

Losing is losing. Do you still have to try to win back with words? Can't you afford to lose that much?

When the Eternal Ancient Academy lost in the past, the history books of the cultivation world did not record that they could not afford to lose.

"I will enter the secret land first!"

Jun Wuxie walked to the passage, turned back to look at Ji Yinlan, Yan Qingcheng, and Mu Yunxi, and said with a serious expression: "You must remember what I said!"

After saying that, he jumped into the passage and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Soon, he came out of the passage and landed on this planet.

The world here was very dim, with a bloody hue.

Looking up, he could see the expanding red giant star in the middle of the star field, and he could also see the Grand Elder and others.

He tried it, but could not transmit his thoughts out, which meant that he could see it but could not contact the people outside.

He jumped up from the ground and came into the air, only to feel an extremely strong gravitational pull, making it tens of thousands of times more difficult to fly in the air here than on the Emperor Beginning Star.

The secret land was vast, with continuous mountains, rushing rivers, dotted lakes, and dense forests covering the surface.

It was just that under the fiery red sun, everything here was dyed a blood-like color, making people feel a little depressed.

He took out the map and looked at it carefully, memorizing it in his mind, and then headed towards the core area.

Under the Word Secret, the speed here could only reach hundreds of times the speed of sound, which was far from the dozens of times the speed of light in the starry sky. At first, he felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the area of this planet was far less than that of the Emperor Beginning Star. Otherwise, it would take several months to reach the core area at hundreds of times the speed of sound.

Flying all the way along the direction of the core area, there were many small peaks along the way, which looked like large tombs.

He looked at it carefully, and it really looked like a tomb. There were holes under the mountain, some of which emitted a faint green light, and some even made strange noises.

Those voices included the weeping of a woman, constantly echoing in the mountains, making people's hairs stand on end.

Some voices were particularly magnetic, very attractive, unconsciously penetrating into people's hearts, affecting their minds, making them want to follow their calls.

"What the hell is this?"

Jun Wuxie released his divine thoughts to peek, but found that in this secret land, his divine thoughts were greatly restricted.

In the starry sky, divine thoughts could cover a distance of millions of miles, but here, they could not even reach a thousand miles.

He stopped and turned to a mountain peak that looked like a large tomb, landing in front of the deep cave.

It was very dark inside, and faint green lights flashed from time to time.

The cave was only three meters high and two meters wide, with a decaying aura emanating from it, as well as a special strange fluctuation.

He went deep into the cave, walked a long way, and then came to a particularly simple stone hall.

When he got here, the sound disappeared.

He looked around the stone hall, which was not very spacious, only about twenty meters in radius, with ancient patterns carved on the four walls.

Jun Wuxie's eyes lit up with the light of runes, staring at the patterns again and again.

If they were not rune masters, they would only think that these were ordinary patterns, but he, who was well-versed in runes, could see that there were some profound array patterns hidden inside these patterns.

These array patterns were not only on the walls, but also on the ground, extending to the middle of the stone hall.

There was a rectangular stone platform there, and a green stone coffin was placed on the stone platform.

Four candles were also placed on the stone platform on both sides of the green stone coffin, burning with a dim green light like a bean.

This was definitely not an ordinary candle. Runes were also engraved on it, and the same runes as the walls and the ground were also on the stone coffin.

"These runes form a special magic array. Could it be that these magic arrays allow the demigods buried here to condense their life's Dao fruit?"

He watched for a while, constantly deducing the functions and effects of the magic array in his mind, but the magic array was too profound, and he could only vaguely draw some conclusions and could not fully understand it.

It did have the effect of condensing essence, energy, and spirit, and even condensing luck, so it could bear Dao fruits.

But at the same time, the magic array seemed to have other special runes.

It was just that those runes had been in a dormant state and had not been activated.

"Is the sound I heard outside from the unscattered remnants of the dead demigod? But why did the sound disappear when I came to his coffin, and I couldn't sense any soul fluctuations in the stone hall?"

Jun Wuxie had many questions in his mind. He stepped forward and walked towards the center of the stone hall.

There was a circular pattern there, a magic array diagram, connected to the stone wall array diagram, forming a whole. The stone platform was built in the middle of the array diagram, and the stone coffin was located on it.

The moment his foot stepped on the pattern in the middle of the stone hall, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

Walking step by step towards the green stone coffin, the pattern under his feet lit up with his pace.

At this moment, he found that those dormant runes were rapidly recovering.

Rumble!

A dull roar came from the front.

It was the green stone coffin. The rune patterns on the coffin also lit up, and the coffin lid slowly opened automatically.

From the opened corner, a brilliant light bloomed, and a very comfortable aura permeated out, making people feel that every pore on their body was stretched open.

There was an aura formed by the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit, a mysterious aura of luck, and another indescribable aura.

"Dao fruit of the Extreme Celestial Realm initial stage?"

Jun Wuxie saw, inside the half-opened blue stone coffin, a crystalline, radiant ball of light slowly rising to the height of the coffin's edge, about the size of a fist.

“How could there be no bloodline runes?”

He activated his Primordial True Eye to observe carefully. Since it was a Dao Fruit condensed from the lifelong essence of a deceased Half-Sage, it should have its bloodline origin runes, but the Dao Fruit before him did not.

He was about to reach out and grab the Dao Fruit when suddenly, his mind was shaken.

“What is this formation doing?”

A flash of cold light passed through his eyes. His cultivation in the Dao of符 (Fú - Talismans/Inscriptions) allowed him to sense a strange phenomenon.

The formation beneath his feet had a mysterious aura that penetrated his body through his feet, traveling through his limbs and bones, searching for his bloodline runes.

After finding the bloodline runes, those auras actually缠绕 (chán rào - twined) around them, replicating them. Soon, the replication was complete, and then they receded like a tide.

All of this happened silently and imperceptibly. If he hadn't cultivated the Primordial Dao of符, he wouldn't have been able to sense it at all.

He could only sense this kind of method through the Dao of符!

“That’s not right!”

Deep within Jun Wuxie's sea of consciousness, the energy of the乾坤洞天 (Qián Kūn Dòng Tiān - Universe Cave Heaven) was boiling. The Myriad Dragons God-Slaying Formation operated within his body. Countless great dragons shuttled through his body, frantically衝擊 (chōng jī - impacting) those formation auras, forcibly severing them from the formation beneath his feet.

At the same time, he soared into the air, instantly retreating to the entrance of the stone hall.

At this moment, the Dao Fruit in the blue stone coffin quickly sank, and the coffin lid slid back to close.

Jun Wuxie, with quick eyes and hands, reached out, and a palm condensed from golden blood energy grabbed the Dao Fruit.

The runes on the coffin flickered, releasing a force that violently impacted his blood energy palm, even piercing through it, but he still managed to retrieve the Dao Fruit.

“This place is indeed not a benevolent land…”

Jun Wuxie looked at the crystalline Dao Fruit in his palm. This was the lifelong essence belonging to that Initial Stage 極天位 (Jí Tiān Wèi - Apex Celestial Realm) Half-Sage buried in the coffin.

However, the bloodline runes were completely lost within this Dao Fruit, not even the slightest bloodline imprint remained.

If he hadn't discovered the formation here secretly replicating his bloodline information, he might not have thought too much about it, but now he had to think more deeply.

This place was definitely not simple. If the other places where Half-Sages were buried were also like this, then there must be a big problem!

Otherwise, why would this formation do this, replicating the bloodline information of the young Supreme who came to obtain the Celestial Realm Dao Fruit; what was its intention?

You must know that in this Lower Realm Universe, every session that could enter the Celestial Realm Secret Ground, which one wasn't a leader in the starry sky, all people with powerful ancient blood!

That existence who arranged the Half-Sage tomb formation in the Celestial Realm Secret Ground, he was actually collecting the detailed bloodline information of the most outstanding group of ancient blood possessors in the Lower Realm Universe!

So many epochs have passed, that person should have died long ago, right?

What was his purpose in doing this?

“No, I have to go to the other tombs to see if the situation is the same…”

Jun Wuxie took a deep look at the formation diagram and the stone coffin in the middle of the stone hall, put away the Dao Fruit, and turned to leave.

“Aunt You, can this Dao Fruit only be used once, or can it be used repeatedly?”

He had no experience in refining Dao Fruits. Currently, he had only obtained an Initial Stage 極天位 Dao Fruit, and he was worried that due to his own uniqueness, unlike other cultivators, the Initial Stage 極天位 Dao Fruit might not be able to help him break through to the 極天位 realm.

If the Dao Fruit could only be refined once, and there would be no effect the second time, then if he used this Dao Fruit, it would be a loss.

“As long as the level of the Dao Fruit you refine later is higher than the one you refined before, it will always have an effect.”

Zhuque did not appear, but her voice rang in his ears, as if she were by his side.

“That’s good, I’m relieved. Before entering the core area, I need to quickly improve my realm to cope with the dangers that may lie ahead.”

Jun Wuxie came out of the deep tomb cave, stood in the high sky, looked at other areas, and soon saw other tomb caves, rushing away like lightning.

He now wanted to find out whether there were similar formations in the other tombs, and whether they would also secretly replicate and obtain the bloodline information of the Dao Fruit obtainers!
