Chapter 698: Opening the Secret Realm, Mysterious Valley (Subscription Request)
Seeing that Song Qingming made the matter so serious, Huang Siyuan and the others didn't say anything more. They all nodded to him with calm expressions and gave him a trusting look.
Song Qingming has been the head of the Song family for more than a hundred years. Under his leadership, the entire family has flourished and has almost never stopped rising.
Therefore, over the years, everyone in the Song family from top to bottom has been very convinced of him as the patriarch, and few people would question Song Qingming's words or decisions.
——
More than half a month later, a white spiritual light flew over an unnamed island in the Tianyuan Sea outside the sea and landed directly on a huge reef in the southeast of the island.
After the spiritual light dissipated, a flying boat about ten feet long slowly emerged in mid-air.
After confirming the familiar island in front of him, Song Qingming led everyone to jump off the flying boat with a calm expression, and then put the "Phantom Boat" in mid-air into the storage magic weapon.
"You guys rest here for a while and wait for me. I'll go see if there are any monsters hiding nearby." After exhorting Huang Siyuan and others, Song Qingming stepped into the air again and turned into a ray of light and disappeared in the air.
This small island is exactly the island where the secret realm of "Tian Yuan Sect" is located when Song Qingming traveled in the East China Sea and went hunting monsters nearby with Li Xianyun and others.
Back then, Song Qingming accidentally broke into the underground cave of the island to avoid the tide of monsters and beasts. As a result, he discovered Zhao Jibai's remains and the ancient secret realm of Tianyuan Sect underneath.
It's a pity that the secret realm was not yet open at that time. Song Qingming tried but failed to enter the secret realm and could only leave here with some regrets.
Now, decades have passed, and according to Song Qingming's estimation, the barrier at the entrance to the secret realm should have reached the point of weakness, and it is almost possible to open the secret realm and enter it.
This time when he came to the East China Sea, in addition to selling monster materials and purchasing spiritual objects needed by his family, the most important thing in Song Qingming's heart was to open this secret realm located in the outer sea.
Even the Nascent Soul Sect would covet this kind of secret realm left by the ancient sect. Once the news leaks out, Song Qingming and the others will definitely not be able to protect it.
Therefore, for so many years, Song Qingming never mentioned this matter to anyone around him. Even when he was asked by Huang Siyuan and others on the way here, he still did not choose to explain the matter.
Tianyuan Sea Area, because it is located in the open sea, is not only full of monsters, but also occasionally monks who come to hunt monsters nearby. It is not a safe place, and you need to be careful no matter what you do here.
When they came, they had already encountered several demon kings at the golden elixir level. Fortunately, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan both had strong magical powers, and they quickly repelled the demon king's attacks without encountering too much danger.
After patrolling around the island, Song Qingming only found a few low-level monsters, but not the dangerous monster kings, and then returned to the reef where Huang Siyuan and the others were.
Song Qingming then found a relatively safe place on the island, took out four formation flags with a wave of his hand, and set up a concealment formation.
"Siyuan and I are going down below to get something. Yuan Qian and Xuan Feng, please stay here. If any outsiders or interested demon kings come to the island, send a message to us immediately.
Remember, this is the open sea, and there are dangers everywhere. You must not walk out of the formation at will and expose your position. If you encounter an emergency, just use this talisman to lead the way below to find us. "
The magic circle arranged by Song Qingming has a second-level top grade, which can perfectly hide the two of them's figures and auras. As long as they are not unlucky and encounter those powerful demon kings approaching the magic circle, they are unlikely to be discovered under normal circumstances. of.
After leaving Song Yuanqian and Song Xuanfeng on the island to guard, Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan and fell into the sea below. Based on the clues he had memorized back then, he found the entrance to the cave below that was submerged deep in the sea.
After sneaking all the way, the two of them soon emerged from the water and arrived at the cave in the middle of the island.
"I didn't expect there was a cave below. How did you find this place, husband?"
After taking out a luminous pearl to illuminate the surroundings, Huang Siyuan quickly discovered some abnormalities in the cave and asked Song Qingming who was walking in front.
"I accidentally discovered this place when I was traveling nearby. There is a secret realm left by an ancient sect hidden below. I brought you here just to see if I can find anything good inside."
Having already led them here, Song Qingming had nothing to hide, so he walked and talked directly to Huang Siyuan about the causes and consequences of his discovery of the "Tianyuan Sect" ruins.
"There is actually an ancient secret realm here. This is something that even the Nascent Soul Sect is fighting for. Your husband actually has this opportunity. This really surprised us."
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Huang Siyuan couldn't help but exclaimed, feeling a little unbelievable that Song Qingming could get such a big opportunity.
Seeing this, Song Qingming also smiled and explained to him: "When I first came here, I couldn't believe it, but what I said is indeed true.
It's just that the secret realm hasn't been opened yet, so there's no way to go in. I don't know if there are any good things in it, so you don't need to get too excited now. "
"The secret realm left by the ancient sect, even if there aren't many good things, it can't be empty!"
"Haha! Thousands of years have passed. Who knows what's going on inside. I'm afraid you're too happy now. If you don't find any treasure later, you'll be disappointed again." Song Qingming smiled and shook his head. .
While the two were talking, they had already passed through the caves extending in all directions and arrived in front of a mountain wall.
When Song Qingming left that year, he specially arranged a sealing array at the entrance of the secret realm to cover the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that the magic circle on the mountain wall in front of him had not been destroyed, Song Qingming felt a little relieved. He stepped forward and directly removed the magic circle on it. Soon, a cave entrance that was as high as one person appeared in front of the two of them.
After entering the cave, Song Qingming hurried forward and closed the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Array" running above his head, and then took Huang Siyuan into the stone chamber where Zhao Jibai's remains were found.
"This is it!"
After scanning the empty stone chamber, Song Qingming came to a stone platform in the middle of the stone chamber and confirmed the location of entering the secret realm.
"Siyuan! After I open the secret realm in a moment, don't rush in. I will notify you when it is confirmed to be safe."
Hearing Song Qingming's kind instructions, Huang Siyuan nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do. Husband, you should also pay attention to safety. If it's too dangerous, we shouldn't force it in this time. You can wait." Come back later when your cultivation level is higher.
As long as you can break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, you should be able to enter such a secret realm at any time, and we don't have to rush it. "
"Yes! I have a sense of propriety and will not act rashly."
After hearing Song Qingming's response, Huang Siyuan immediately turned around and walked to the entrance to prevent herself from disturbing Song Qingming's opening of the secret realm.
After Huang Siyuan walked away, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to open the secret realm immediately. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, took out another medium-grade spiritual stone, and began to quickly restore his mana.
It wasn't until half a stick of incense had passed that Song Qingming, who had adjusted himself to a perfect state, stood up.
Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming had a flash of inspiration, and with a serious look on his face, he took out a jade magic weapon that had been prepared long ago and was completely white.
This object is the special magical weapon that he got from Zhao Jibai that opened the secret realm. After so many years, it is still as new as ever.
After a while, Song Qingming, who was holding the white jade tablet in his hand, cast a spell in his hand. The jade tablet soon emitted a burst of spiritual light and automatically flew into the air, and began to absorb the surrounding aura of heaven and earth crazily.
After a while, the white jade tablet finally absorbed the spiritual energy and began to rotate rapidly in mid-air, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex more than one foot in diameter.
After the spiritual energy vortex rotated for a while, the spiritual energy on it became heavier and heavier, and soon turned into a spiritual energy spring. After a while, the spiritual energy in the entire stone chamber also became very rich.
Huang Siyuan, who was standing not far away, saw this astonishing scene and also opened her curious eyes, with a look of anticipation on her face.
"Haha! What was recorded in the handbook is indeed correct. The secret realm barrier has been weakened by more than half compared to the last time. It's just the right time. We should be able to enter."
After Song Qingming thought to himself, he cast his hands again and took out a magic weapon "Golden Yaobao Halo".
Then, under Song Qingming's spell-casting, the magic weapon grew several times larger, and hit the spiritual vortex in mid-air with a fierce force.
After a loud "Bang!", Song Qingming was a little surprised that the "Golden Yaobao Halo" was bounced back directly by the spiritual vortex, which did not allow him to open the barrier at the entrance to the secret realm as he wished.
Seeing this, a burst of green spiritual energy immediately appeared on Song Qingming's body, directly wrapping the "Golden Yaobao Halo", and once again accumulated strength and hit the spiritual energy vortex.
This time, although the entrance barrier has not been opened, the strengthened "Golden Yaobao Halo" is much more powerful than before, and has already cracked the barrier above the spiritual vortex.
Seeing that the attack just now was effective, Song Qingming suddenly became happy, and injected his magic power into the "Golden Yaobao Halo", commanding this magic weapon to continue attacking the barrier at the entrance to the secret realm.
When Huang Siyuan on the side saw this, she immediately flew over and took out her flying sword magic weapon to help Song Qingming attack the barrier.
Just like this, waves of violent collisions continued to sound. After the two people worked hard for half an hour, there was finally a sound of breaking from the barrier in the middle of the spiritual energy vortex.
Then a very strange spiritual energy came out from inside, causing Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan to change their expressions.
"Have you broken through the secret realm barrier?"
Hearing Huang Siyuan's inquiry, Song Qingming, who put away the magic weapon "Golden Yaobao Halo" in front of him, nodded with a smile and said: "This barrier is indeed a bit troublesome for us golden elixir monks, but fortunately it was finally opened smoothly! "
"Looking at the strong aura emanating from here, there must be something inside. We won't return empty-handed this time." After feeling the aura emanating from the entrance, Huang Siyuan's face slowly revealed A hint of joy.
"I hope it's true what you said!"
After opening the entrance to the secret realm, Song Qingming did not rush to enter the secret realm. Instead, he took out a few spiritual stones and began to sit there and restore his own mana.
About a quarter of an hour later, Song Qingming felt that the spiritual energy at the entrance to the secret realm slowly stabilized, and then he opened his eyes and stood up.
Under Huang Siyuan's gaze, Song Qingming first took off the spirit beast bag from his waist, released several colorful "golden fantasy butterflies", and then began to cast spells to control them to fly towards the entrance of the secret realm.
These "golden fantasy butterflies" came to the spiritual vortex and circled for more than ten times. Then they suddenly plunged into the vortex and soon disappeared.
A moment later, Song Qingming, who was closing his eyes and using his spiritual consciousness to maintain contact with the "Golden Fantasy Butterflies", suddenly felt the message coming back from them after a period of silence.
After learning that these "golden fantasy butterflies" were safe and sound after entering the vortex, Song Qingming immediately showed a hint of excitement on his face, and turned to look at Huang Siyuan aside.
"This is a twin soul talisman. When I enter later, if you see the talisman destroying itself, that means I have confirmed that there is no danger inside. You can just come in.
If the magic talisman is intact, then don’t rush in! If there is still no news from me within three days, take Yuan Qian and the others out of here quickly and go back to the Fuyun Mountains to find Senior Sister Bai and Uncle Li for help. "
When Song Qingming spoke, there were already two identical white talismans in his hand, and he handed one of them to Huang Siyuan's hand.
This twin spiritual talisman is a second-level spiritual talisman that Song Qingming purchased in "Tiandan City" some time ago. This item does not have much effect. It is only useful in transmitting messages. It was specially prepared by Song Qingming to enter the secret realm. .
Although Song Qingming had been to places like the secret realm several times before with Huo Feng, he probably knew what was going on there, and he didn't find any dangers in the notes Zhao Jibai left about the secret realm.
However, this was Song Qingming's first time entering the secret realm of "Tianyuan Sect". He did not dare to be too careless, and he brought Huang Siyuan and the others here only after he was well prepared.
"Yes! I have written it down, husband, please be careful!"
Faced with Song Qingming's instructions, Huang Siyuan immediately responded after taking the talisman, her eyes always firm and full of confidence in his trip.
Song Qingming nodded happily, then turned around and flew to the entrance of the secret realm in mid-air.
To be on the safe side, he still summoned the natal magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" from his body and protected it around him before turning into a ray of light and disappearing directly into the spiritual vortex in front of him.
A moment later, Song Qingming, who had experienced a familiar spin, suddenly appeared above a valley full of vitality.
He had just passed through the barrier, and his mind was still a little blurry at this time. It took him a while to slowly stabilize his falling figure in the air.
"There is nothing unusual about the surrounding space barrier. I thought the situation in this secret realm was relatively stable. I didn't expect that the spiritual energy here would be so rich. It can already catch up with the Taiyue Lake secret realm he has been to."
Song Qingming, who was stopped in mid-air, felt the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, and couldn't help but praise.
Several "golden fantasy butterflies" that Song Qingming had put into the secret realm in advance, after sensing his master, also flew up from the valley below and surrounded Song Qingming.
"Haha! Thank you for your hard work."
Song Qingming stroked the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" on his hand with a happy expression, then put them back into the spirit beast bag on his waist.
These "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" have been with Song Qingming for so many years. Although they have limited help for him in the battle, they have helped him a lot in searching for objects.
Song Qingming has never forgotten to carefully cultivate these spirit insects whether he is practicing at home or traveling over the years, and now he is becoming more and more proficient in controlling them.
Having just put away the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly", Song Qingming was about to explore the surroundings to see where he was. Unexpectedly, a cry suddenly came from the sky not far away, interrupting Song Qingming's train of thought.
Turning around, Song Qingming frowned slightly and saw that it was a giant white eagle with a wingspan of two to three feet.
Sure enough, as recorded in Zhao Jibai's handwritten notes, this secret realm is inhabited by many monsters and is not that safe.
When the giant white eagle flew dozens of feet in front of Song Qingming, it suddenly spread its wings and fired a dozen feathers with golden aura directly at Song Qingming.
Seeing that these golden feathers had arrived in front of him, Song Qingming calmly waved his hand and released a body-protecting beam, stopping them all with ease.
This white giant eagle is a second-level high-grade monster that has reached the peak of foundation building. At this moment, seeing the thin and inconspicuous Song Qingming in front of him, he was a little surprised to be able to block his attack so easily.
Just when it was about to continue its attack, Song Qingming in front of him suddenly dodged and quickly came to it.
After a gray sword light flew by, before the giant white eagle could react from the shock, one of its wings was cut in half by Song Qingming's sword, and it suddenly let out a very painful wail.
"Hmph! I just thought of running now, isn't it already a little too late?"
Looking at the giant white eagle in front of him, he retreated back in panic, trying to escape from himself. The "Black White Sword" in Song Qingming's hand unceremoniously slashed out a more fierce sword light again, directly like this The monster that only regretted it was killed in mid-air.
After killing this second-level monster, Song Qingming did not pay attention to its body first. Instead, he took out the "Phantom Boat" and circled around it for a long time. After confirming his position in the secret realm, he returned again. In place.
Unexpectedly, in just half an hour, the body of the white eagle had attracted four or five low-level monsters nearby, fighting for this "prey from the sky" next to its body.
It wasn't until Song Qingming came closer that the monsters who felt this powerful aura hurriedly dropped the prey in front of them and fled in all directions.
"There are so many monsters around here. It seems that no one has come in for thousands of years. The number of monsters in this secret realm is no longer what it used to be."
Song Qingming's location is located in the northeast corner of the entire "Tianyuan Sect" secret realm. According to the notes about the secret realm on Zhao Jibai's body, there are very few monsters in this area.
However, Song Qingming had only been in for a quarter of an hour when he saw so many monsters appearing. After so many years, the situation in the secret realm had indeed changed somewhat compared to before.
After confirming that the situation in this secret realm was very stable and there was no great danger, Song Qingming immediately activated the twin spirit talismans in his hands, informed Huang Siyuan of the news outside, and then turned around and began to deal with the corpse of the monster in front of him.
After Song Qingming removed all the useful monster materials from the giant white eagle, a white escaping light also came from the distant horizon and landed in front of Song Qingming.
"I happened to bump into a few low-level monsters near where I came in, and was delayed for a while!" Looking at the corpses of monsters not far away, Huang Siyuan smiled and said to Song Qingming.
Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "No one has come here for thousands of years. The number of monsters is much more than before. I am afraid that there will be more monster kings of level three or above. We must be more careful in what we do next."
"The two of us work together. Even if there is a late-stage Jindan Demon King, we don't have to be afraid of it. My husband, don't worry too much."
Song Qingming's current combat power is no weaker than that of ordinary seventh-level Jindan monks. In the last battle at "Guiyunfang", he was not inferior to the "Giant Elephant Demon King" in the late Jindan stage.
It was precisely because she knew Song Qingming's strength in her heart that Huang Siyuan was deep in the secret realm at the moment, so she had the confidence to say this.
"Yeah! But it's our first time coming in, so it's always right to be careful." Song Qingming smiled and nodded, then took out the note he got from his body, looked at it carefully, and then continued:
"There is an elixir garden more than a hundred miles away from here. According to the above records, there are precious elixirs cultivated and planted by Tianyuan Sect for many years. I don't know how many mature elixirs can be picked now. Let's go and take a look first! "
After choosing where to go, Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat" and jumped on it, turning into a ray of light and leaving the place with Huang Siyuan.
After flying eastward for a quarter of an hour, the two soon arrived outside a valley filled with white mist.
After confirming that the valley in front of them was their destination, Song Qingming controlled the flying boat to land outside the valley.
"Husband, is the elixir garden recorded in the handbook located in the valley?" Huang Siyuan couldn't help but ask as she looked at the mysterious valley shrouded in white mist. (End of chapter)
