Chapter 50: Could it be within the secret realm?

"Miss Qin, do you want this Dao Profound Gold Pill?"

Li Xun turned around, closed the jade box in his hand, and directly tossed it to Qin Xueyi, saying, "If you need it, it's yours. After all, it was your guidance that led me here."

Compared to the Dao Profound Gold Pill, Li Xun valued the World-Slaying Sword Manual even more.

A pill was only good for one use; once you consumed it, it was gone. But the World-Slaying Sword Manual was different. It could be used countless times. The comparative value was clear.

"Thank you, Master Li," Qin Xueyi gratefully said as she took the Dao Profound Gold Pill.

"No need to be so polite," Li Xun waved his hand.

At the same time,

The voice of the system resounded in his mind.

【Congratulations, Host. Investment successful. You've obtained the World-Slaying Sword Manual. Would you like to receive it?】

"Not yet."

Li Xun casually replied.

Retracting his gaze, Li Xun looked at the last jade box in his hand.

He stretched out his hand and opened it.

Inside the jade box lay a jade slip. On it were four characters: Great Void Scripture—especially eye-catching.

"Great Void Scripture...?"

Li Xun muttered with a peculiar expression.

Judging from the name, it should be a profound technique. However, he didn't know what kind of technique it was.

Beside him, Qin Xueyi's mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to explain to Li Xun. After all, in her previous life, she had cultivated the Great Void Scripture to perfection.

However, upon careful consideration, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Her actions today had already exposed many secrets. If she continued to reveal more, her secret about being reborn might truly be compromised.

"At Heaven-tier high-grade and being a mental cultivation technique, it truly lives up to the fortune of a Saint."

After noting down the contents of the jade slip,

Li Xun couldn't help but sigh.

The only regret was that this was a mental cultivation technique, not a physical technique. Otherwise, he could have completely compensated for the shortcomings of his physical techniques.

He could also have saved himself a valuable technique advancement token.

"Miss Qin, would you like to take a look at this Great Void Scripture?"

Li Xun turned around and smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Li. I'm currently only at the Qi Condensation realm. The Great Void Scripture doesn't have any effect on me."

Qin Xueyi gently shook her head.

"Is that so?"

Li Xun gave Qin Xueyi a deep look, choosing not to persuade her.

"Today, when Master Li acted, I saw that you've apparently cultivated a physical technique. The Heavenly Heart Stone Milk from before would be suitable for you, Master Li."

"I won't disturb Master Li's cultivation."

As she spoke,

Qin Xueyi walked outside the palace, finding a spot to sit down and then scattered a few spirit stones. She set up a formation and then took out the Dao Profound Gold Pill. After swallowing it, she quickly entered a state of cultivation.

Inside the palace,

Li Xun put away the Great Void Scripture. For the time being, he had no intention of cultivating it.

For one, the Great Void Scripture's grade was too high. It was a Heaven-tier high-grade technique, something he couldn't master with his Spirit Connection realm. To cultivate it, he would need at least a Foundation Establishment realm to comprehend even a little.

If he wanted to fully cultivate it, his cultivation base would need to be at the Nascent Soul realm or above.

Secondly, his current Heavenly Body Technique was only at the minor achievement stage of Heaven-tier high-grade. Compared to the Great Void Scripture, cultivating the Heavenly Body Technique was simpler and brought higher short-term benefits.

"Now, let's see how effective the Heavenly Heart Stone Milk is."

Li Xun took a deep breath, slowly took off his clothes, and stepped into the stone tub.

In the moment he stepped in,

Li Xun's expression immediately changed. He felt as if countless ants were crawling all over him, constantly gnawing at his skin.

This process was truly agonizing.

Li Xun quickly focused his consciousness and began to circulate the Heavenly Body Technique within his body. As the technique circulated, a thin layer of golden light emanated from his body. He seemed like a small golden figure cast in gold, shining brightly.

Time passed.

After seven days,

In the outer void,

Three figures traveled through the air, with their divine senses enveloping an area of several tens of kilometers.

These three individuals were none other than the three Chen clan devotees.

They had been flying in the southwest direction for several days now, and they were already thousands of miles away from Fallen Leaf City. Yet, they still hadn't found any trace of Li Xun and Qin Xueyi.

This inevitably made the three of them doubt whether they had gone in the wrong direction.

"Brother Jiang, do you think Li Xun and the others might have taken a detour and gone somewhere else?"

A small, thin old man pondered and spoke.

If they had really taken a detour, then even if they searched for thousands of miles, they might end up flying tens of thousands of miles without finding them.

"Indeed."

Another man dressed in gray echoed, "Qin Xueyi only has a Qi Condensation cultivation level, and while Li Xun is stronger, he's still only at the Spirit Connection realm."

"Qin Xueyi doesn't even know how to fly, and Li Xun has to carry another person. How could they possibly be faster than us?"

"If we could find them, we probably would have already."

"Let's fly another five hundred miles ahead. If we still can't find them, we'll turn back."

Jiang Ge, the leader, sighed helplessly.

He also knew that aimlessly searching like this wasn't a solution. Without any tracking methods, finding two individuals in the vast world was almost as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Another five hundred miles later,

Jiang halted his figure and stood in the void. He let out a sigh of resignation—it seemed like they really couldn't find them.

Just as he was about to turn back,

Beside him, the thin old man suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Ge, have you found something?"

Jiang's heart stirred, and he curiously asked, "Indeed, I've discovered something out of the ordinary."

Ge, the thin old man, had a strange expression. He said, "If I'm not mistaken, I seem to have discovered a secret realm!"

"A secret realm?"

"Where?"

Jiang and the other person asked simultaneously.

A secret realm was an incredibly valuable thing. Each secret realm contained countless treasures. Frankly speaking, with control over a secret realm, one could easily establish a power surpassing that of the Chen clan!

"It's not far from here. Let me lead you over."

Ge raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

Soon,

Guided by Ge, the two of them arrived at a desolate wilderness. A long fissure, stretching several zhang in length, stood prominently in the void, unmistakable.

"Whoosh!"

At the sight of this fissure, Jiang and the others all took in a cold breath of air. They exchanged a glance, all seeing the fiery excitement in each other's eyes.

Indeed, it was a secret realm!

Although the secret realm seemed dilapidated from the outside, it didn't matter because they could sense the abundant aura leaking out from within. The concentration of spiritual energy was terrifying.

Even if there was nothing inside the secret realm, the sheer density of spiritual energy alone made it comparable to a paradise.

Cultivating inside for a year might be equivalent to ten years outside!

"I didn't expect our luck to turn around. An ownerless secret realm has been so easily found by the three of us!"

The man in gray beside Jiang exclaimed in joy.

However, as his words fell, Jiang's expression turned skeptical, and he asked, "What do you think? Could Li Xun and the others be inside this secret realm?"
