Chapter 342: Spatial Passage, Restrictive Conditions
"I didn’t enter the Secret Realm, so how would I know what’s going on inside?"
Yang Chan glanced at Princess Lan Yue and replied.
His perception was keen, so he could clearly see the emotional shift in Princess Lan Yue. He naturally understood the worry in her heart, but he didn’t pay it too much mind. ’A little bit of anxiety is a good thing.’
He still wanted to get more Pill Formulas from Princess Lan Yue to continue increasing his Daily Potential Point Collection. If she felt a sense of crisis, she would be more proactive in offering them up. This was, of course, quite beneficial for him.
"You’re right. This is an unfamiliar Secret Realm. Only by entering it can we learn what it’s really like."
Princess Lan Yue said with a sigh. Her expression recovered somewhat, but the worry in her heart did not lessen.
She had been following Yang Chan for some time and had come to understand his personality quite well. ’Perhaps some decisions need to be made sooner.’
A sense of crisis filled her mind, and she knew she had to prepare a response.
...
「Qingyuan River.」
After Jin Feihua’s iron-fisted methods, no one dared approach the Red Ship. It was now sailing swiftly along the Qingyuan River. Propelled by its own acceleration and the pull of the vortex, its speed was immense. Before long, it shot through the vortex and vanished.
The people from the Supreme Sect, the Celestial Fragrance Sect, and the Taiyin Holy Sect were not surprised to see this and all began to accelerate their own vessels.
The vortex was an entrance. Only those with the courage to charge into it were qualified to enter Taiyin Heaven. This was a test of bravery.
Those who harbored fear would find it difficult to pass and would die within the vortex.
As the ships sailed onward one by one, some were destroyed, their crews perishing with them, while others simply vanished without a trace.
"So this is Taiyin Heaven. It truly is peculiar."
After passing through the vortex in the center of the Qingyuan River, Jin Feihua and the people from the Six Gates landed on a stretch of solid ground. There was no river in sight.
’A spatial passage.’ The term appeared in Jin Feihua’s mind. Only such a Divine Technique could explain this situation.
At this moment, several miles ahead of the group from the Six Gates, there was a hazy, gray screen of light. It was completely impossible to make out the scenery behind it.
The screen of light was so vast that one could not see its end in a single glance.
’A Little World is just like the real world, but it’s a space that drifts outside the Realm. It can nurture living beings.’
Jin Feihua looked at the tall trees that had appeared all around. Although she didn’t see any living creatures, this was merely the periphery of Taiyin Heaven; they hadn’t truly entered it yet.
Although Spiritual Qi permeated the air, it wasn’t particularly dense—only a bit stronger than in the outside world. Even so, it had still nurtured many aged Spirit Medicines.
Some members of the Six Gates had already begun to harvest these Spirit Medicines, while others started attempting to enter the screen of light. This was part of their division of labor, with everyone performing their assigned duties.
Before long, people from the various powers—the Supreme Sect, the Celestial Fragrance Sect, the Taiyin Holy Sect, the Cyan Yuan Sect, Holy Light Island, Loose Cultivators, and others—entered the area, each observing the scene.
"This is actually Taiyin Heaven! I can’t believe the legends were true."
"Then this isn’t a Secret Realm, it’s a Little World! To think that Little Worlds actually exist."
"Taiyin Heaven... Then this must be Longevity Spiritual Qi! *INHALE*!"
"..."
The newcomers then found a huge stone stele engraved with two large words: "Taiyin Heaven." Something so massive was naturally eye-catching.
And once someone spoke the name "Taiyin Heaven," others began to share its secret legends.
Quite a few people knew of Taiyin Heaven’s existence, but it was from a time so long ago that most had come to believe it was merely a myth.
Seeing it now, they knew it was real, which was all the more exciting. Some even began breathing deeply and continuously, trying to inhale the legendary Longevity Spiritual Qi.
It was said that the Spiritual Qi in Taiyin Heaven could extend one’s life. Regardless of whether it was true, they were determined to take a deep breath first and ask questions later.
"Divine Constable Jin, your Six Gates arrived first. You must know the conditions for entering Taiyin Heaven this time!"
The Supreme Sect’s Saintess was dressed in white, her face obscured by a white veil, but it could not conceal her cold and otherworldly aura. She was like a fairy who did not partake of the mortal world, inspiring a sense of awe.
Refining the Heart in the Red Dust was the path to forging a heart of Supreme Forgetting Emotions, and ultimately, the Great Dao.
The hem of the Celestial Fragrance Sect Saintess’s robes fluttered lightly, creating ripples in the air as a unique fragrance drifted and scattered everywhere.
At that moment, her beautiful eyes were also fixed on Jin Feihua.
"Anyone below the level of Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster may enter."
Jin Feihua’s gaze swept over the two women before landing on the Taiyin Saintess, the Taiyin Saint Son, and their followers.
She had personally dealt with the Taiyin Saintess before. Back then, she had been the No-Life Saintess under the Crown Prince’s command. It wasn’t until recently that Jin Feihua learned her true identity: the Saintess of the Taiyin Demon Sect.
Speaking of which, the existence of Taiyin Heaven was somewhat related to the Taiyin Demon Sect.
Therefore, in Jin Feihua’s eyes, the people from the Taiyin Demon Sect were potentially the greatest obstacle.
"Anyone can enter as long as they’re below the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster realm? The restrictions are much looser this time."
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Fragrance Sect Saintess broke into a smile. For her, this was excellent news.
Although it meant she couldn’t rely on the help of Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster experts, she was more confident in her own strength anyway.
The Celestial Fragrance Sect was not entering Taiyin Heaven for the first time, so they naturally had some records. Her goal on this trip was to seize the opportunity that her predecessors had failed to obtain.
If she could obtain that opportunity, she was highly confident she could become a Martial Saint.
Not every Saintess could become a National Guardian Martial Saint, let alone walk far along the path of a Martial Saint.
Even the ancestors of the Celestial Fragrance Sect had failed to reach the apex of the Martial Saint realm and catch a glimpse of a Longevity Carefree Immortal.
But if she could secure the opportunity within, her journey on the path of Martial Arts would extend much further. Not even the ancestors would necessarily be able to compare to her, so she was naturally determined to fight for it with all her might.
However, it still depended on the opportunity itself, as she would only have a chance to obtain it once it manifested.
After hearing the entry condition, a flash of joy crossed the faces of both the Taiyin Saintess and the Saint Son. They then led the people from the Taiyin Holy Sect directly into the screen of light.
They did this because it seemed as if the people from the Supreme Sect, the Celestial Fragrance Sect, and the Six Gates were forming an encirclement, as if preparing to deal with them.
Although the Taiyin Holy Sect called itself a "Holy Sect," in the eyes of the other powers, it was a "Demon Sect." Thus, it was highly likely they would be targeted first.
Seeing this, the Taiyin Saintess and Taiyin Saint Son did not delay and entered at once.
Jin Feihua and the others saw this but did not stop them.
A short while later, screams echoed from within the screen of light. Some people had directly turned into a bloody mist, which merged into the gray light without changing its color.
"Those below the level of External Iron Bone Refining cannot withstand the pressure of Taiyin Heaven."
Only then did Jin Feihua reveal the second condition. She hadn’t lied before; she had simply omitted one of the restrictions. And now, by the tacit agreement of the three major powers, the Taiyin Demon Sect was the first to suffer losses.
