Chapter 324 Entering the Secret Realm
"It's easy to talk, let's help each other after entering the secret realm."
Shi Zhong said with a smile.
"This fellow Taoist is a bit unfamiliar. It must be the first day outside the secret realm, right? I don't know what to call him?"
Just when Lu Xuan was about to join Shi Zhong, a rough voice suddenly came.
Turning around, he saw a burly middle-aged monk walking out of the crowd and looking Lu Xuan up and down.
The middle-aged monk was in the middle stage of foundation building, and there was a faint evil aura coming from his body.
"I am Lu Xuan, an inner disciple of the Tianjian Sect stationed on Kongming Island. I wonder what I would like to ask you."
Lu Xuan replied neither humble nor arrogantly.
"It turns out he is a disciple of the sect, no wonder he behaves like this."
The middle-aged monk sneered.
"I'm just a nameless casual cultivator, and my status as a disciple of Fellow Daoist Master Lu is completely different."
“However, it would be against the rules for Fellow Daoist Lu to directly enter the secret realm.
We and others have worked hard to break the formation restrictions for more than half a month, but Fellow Daoist Lu is sitting back and enjoying the success, and his behavior is a bit too domineering. "
As soon as the middle-aged monk finished speaking, Lu Xuan noticed that everyone was looking at him with vague hostility.
Just as he was about to retort, Shi Zhong flew over in an instant and looked at the burly middle-aged man coldly.
"When the secret realm first appeared, we informed him and made an appointment to explore it together. It just happened that fellow Taoist Lu was in retreat. It was only today that he broke through the retreat and came here."
"Among the people present, there are many foundation-building monks who are useless at work and have no effect at all in breaking the formation restrictions. There is no difference between coming early and coming late."
Shi Zhong raised his head slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes when a large cultivator faced a casual cultivator.
"My fellow Daoist Zhou and I played a role equal to the ten of you in breaking the formation, including fellow Daoist Lu. Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone was silent for a while.
The monks on the islands all know the origins of Shi Zhong and Lu Xuan. They are in a force that often has to deal with Lu Xuan and others as well as the sect behind them. Naturally, they will not come out to refute Shi Zhong at this time.
During this period, Ning Deshan's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to stand up and object, but in the end he remained silent and acquiesced to Shi Zhong's statement.
He had a lot of grudges with Lu Xuan, but he didn't dare to do anything openly. Being able to raise the price at the auction and disgust Lu Xuan was already the limit.
"Fellow Daoist Han, the disciples of the sect are so arrogant, why not take a step back temporarily and settle things with them after entering the secret realm."
"Nowadays, there are many people and it's hard to fight. You can't get anything by using your words. When you enter the secret realm, you have to look at your true ability."
"I learned from the monks on the island that although this disciple of the Tianjian Sect has a distinguished status, he is basically cultivating spiritual plants on weekdays. His skills and treasures must be only average. Joining Shi Zhong and the two will not have much impact. .”
Suddenly, a sound as thin as a mosquito came into the ears of the burly middle-aged man. The middle-aged man nodded imperceptibly to express his understanding.
A small storm was resolved.
Lu Xuan and Shi Zhong met up.
"Thank you to Fellow Daoist Shi for speaking up, and thank you to Fellow Daoist Zhou for your support and help."
He looked grateful.
"It's nothing. The casual cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building just bully the weak and fear the strong. If he was really reasonable, he wouldn't suppress the small family cultivators who were the first to reach the secret realm."
Shi Zhong said disdainfully.
When he first got to know Lu Xuan, he was a little disdainful of his enthusiasm for spiritual plants, but after all, they had similar identities, and they gradually became identified with him after contact.
After inviting Lu Xuanhai to fish again, it reached its peak. I just wished I hadn't met him earlier and learned fishing experience from him.
More importantly, what Lu Xuan did on a daily basis, coupled with the persona he worked hard to create as a spiritual planter, convinced him that Lu Xuan's cultivation and treasures were just average.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's deal with the phantom of the giant dragon on the water wall in the secret realm."
"The formation restrictions inside are researched and cracked by monks who are good at formations. We don't need to distract ourselves from other things."
Zhou Bingyu, who had sharp features, said lightly.
"good."
Lu Xuan happily agreed.
He poured his spiritual power into his eyes, and a layer of mist-like substance appeared on the surface of his pupils.
The spiritual energy flowing on the water wall was clearly visible under the gaze of his eyes. The spiritual energy nodes of the formation were clearly visible, and the existence of the formation eyes could even be vaguely felt.
"The "Breaking Eyes Technique" is indeed extraordinary. I only have the most superficial understanding of formations, but under the influence of the Eyes Technique, I can directly see through the spiritual energy veins of the formations. If I am practicing some formation-breaking techniques, Maybe I can become a formation master in a short time."
He looked back and sighed secretly.
…
A dragon roar sounded, and a huge dragon phantom struck out from the water wall with lightning.
Lu Xuan remained motionless, and the purple electric sword in his hand roared out, with violent sword intent, hitting the dragon's head.
On the side, in front of Shi Zhong, a silver ruler glowed brightly, instantly enlarging dozens of times, with runes flowing, following behind Lu Xuan's purple electric sword.
Zhou Bingyu said nothing, holding a pure white spear with a cold chill in his hand, and appeared in front of the dragon's shadow out of thin air.
With the three people joining forces, the dragon's shadow was easily eliminated in just one encounter.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu has such superb swordsmanship. He deserves to be from the Tianjian Sect."
Shi Zhong took back the silver ruler and sighed.
"My level of swordsmanship is average among the sect, and I don't know how far behind those swordsmanship geniuses are."
Lu Xuan said modestly.
"The water wall restriction is about to break."
Zhou Bingyu looked at the huge wall of water where the spiritual power had become stagnant, and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick beam of light was seen rising not far away, falling directly on the center of the formation. A splashing sound was heard, and a huge hole appeared in the water wall.
Through the hole, you can see a corner of the mysterious palace inside.
"The restriction is broken!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Zhou, after entering the secret realm, I hope that the three of us can work together and help each other. If there is a situation where we have to fight for the treasure, then each one must rely on his own ability, and remember not to make a fatal move."
"Okay." Lu Xuan and Zhou Bingyu nodded in unison.
The three of them looked at each other and followed a group of foundation-building monks to fly into the secret realm.
Passing through the water wall, many monks spread out and were on guard against each other.
Lu Xuan followed Shi Zhong and the two men, with the Xiaohai Sword Talisman and the Great Sun Sword Talisman in his sleeves ready to be activated at any time.
What appeared in his sight was a deep black water with undulating waves, and he didn't know what was hidden in it.
In the center of the water is a desert island. There is no trace of the monks' activities on the desert island.
There is a huge palace on the island, and its architectural style seems to be many years old.
Lu Xuan has little experience in exploring secret realms, but he also knows that although there are many opportunities for treasures in secret realms, they are often accompanied by traces of powerful monsters and evil beasts, so he should not be careless.
Just as he was cautiously moving forward, there was already a casual cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, driving a sword light and rushing straight to the deserted island.
