ong Ying's Sea of Consciousness without any trouble. Using her divine sense to see things caused Ripple to frown.The spirit sea, which is not small, is not calm at this time. It is brewing a storm. T...The whirlwind's mockery made even Zi Yun Gui aware of the danger. His entire shell flashed with a purple light, forming a barrier that protected him. This was the defense that Zi Yun Gui prided himself on.
Ripples smiled but didn't break through Ziyun Turtle's defenses. Instead, he said:
"I can take you out of this secret realm, and I don't need you to make a pact with me. I can guarantee that I will ascend to the spirit world within fifty years, but I also have conditions."
What conditions
Despite the purple turtle's reluctance, she couldn't resist the temptation to leave. She spoke up and said:
"Since you've been here for almost a millennium, you must be very familiar with this secret realm. You should know about all the treasures it holds. Just point me in the right direction to find them, and I'll take you out of here. Consider it."
Ripple smiled slyly, like the wolf in grandmother's clothing luring Little Red Riding Hood.
"Do you keep your word"
The Purple Tortoise asked the way.
Of course, I can take an oath of heaven.
The ripples spoke immediately.
"If you swear, then I'll take you treasure hunting."
The purple tortoise doesn't want to waste a moment.
Okay!
Ripple immediately swore a heavenly oath, the power of the oath entering both Zi Yun Gui and Ripple's sea of consciousness. The oath was established.
Then the Ziyun turtle slowly extended its head and limbs, and lumbered to Ripple's side.
I'll take you to the nearest Bamboo Forest Sea, where there's a piece of Muke Spirit Crystal.
With the constraint of the Heavenly Dao Oath, Ziyun Gui became much braver and immediately began to demonstrate his value.
"Well, your head is a bit big, could you make it smaller Otherwise, we'll be spotted by others before we even reach the bamboo forest. Your current appearance is too eye-catching, we better keep a low profile."
Ripples retracted her isolation formation, and looked at the Ziyun Turtle at her feet.
Ziyun Gui thought for a while, and felt that Lian Yi made sense. The tortoise shell on his body shone one by one, and then his whole body shrank in circles until it became the size of a palm.
The ripples were very pleased with the size of this purple tortoise, lifting it up and placing it on its own shoulder before heading towards Bamboo Forest Sea.
Today is the first day of entering the secret realm. The 1,000 cultivators who entered are scattered everywhere. Even if they meet, they will immediately change direction and separate.
After all, it was the first day and everyone came up empty-handed. Unless there were personal grudges, no one wanted to fight tooth and nail. With no treasures found, starting a fight would be a losing proposition.
The ripples, guided by the Purple Tortoise, entered the center of the Bamboo Sea and found the Wood Spirit Crystal embedded in a thick bamboo. Only then, satisfied, did it carry the whirlwind out of the Bamboo Sea from the other side.
Yes, she was being chased out. After all, she had taken the treasure from the bamboo forest, so naturally, she was met with resistance. The bamboo forest kept changing positions and set up an array of mazes and trapping formations, hoping to trap Ripples inside.
However, because of DuoDuo's presence, ripples wouldn't be easily trapped by the maze formation. Under DuoDuo's guidance and the boost from Ripple Cyclone Slash, they hacked out a path of blood and left the Bamboo Forest Sea.
Once she was out of the opponent's attack range, Lian Ri first cast a Jing Chen Jue on herself to clean the bamboo leaf pinned in her hair. Only then did she find a safe spot, set up her formation, and begin to recover her spiritual energy.
After the ripples returned to their peak state, she was about to pack up her formation disk and go to Ziyun Gui to ask for the location of the next heavenly material - the lightning-struck wood. However, before she could put it away, she encountered several wandering cultivators chasing a lone female cultivator. The target was someone she knew well, Ran Miaolan from Yunxian Sect.
Ran Miaolan didn't have the luck of ripples. After entering the secret realm, she fought all the way until now, with no time to connect her dantian. Now she was besieged by three cultivators at the peak of the late stage of foundation building. She was already injured.
"I am Ran Miaolan of the Yunjian Sect. If you dare to attack me, be prepared to be exterminated by the Yunjian Sect after leaving this secret realm."
Right now, Ran Miaolan's spiritual power was still fairly sufficient. However, she didn't know why her spiritual power circulation was becoming increasingly sluggish. She felt like she had been poisoned. Unfortunately, even after taking a detoxification pill, her condition remained unchanged. All she could do was bluff and use her sect as a backing.
She naturally had a trump card to save her life, but since she had only been in the secret realm for three days, Ran Miaolan didn't want to use the life-saving talisman given by her master. Otherwise, what if she encountered fatal danger in the next half month
Ran Miaolan thought these three wandering cultivators dared to do this, they must have taken a liking to the wealth of her sect's disciples. They probably didn't intend to kill them outright. Unfortunately, her judgment was wrong this time.
One lean, dark-complexioned man cultivator whipped out a black qi-infused whip and lashed it straight at Ran Miaolan's face.
Ran Miaolan's expression changed, because she felt that the black qi wrapped around the whip was evil. She exclaimed:
"You are heretics!"
"Humph! I didn't expect you to have some insight. Then we can't let you live to leave."
Another burly male cultivator clenched his fist, following the whip's momentum and throwing a punch, apparently wanting to join forces to kill Ran Miaolan. Finally, a female cultivator wearing a mask swung her sword backhand, aiming straight at Ran Miaolan's dantian.
Being targeted by a triple attack, Ran Miaolan knew that if she didn't reveal her life-saving charm, she would surely die on the spot.
With a deafening boom, a golden shield appeared in front of Ran Miaolan. A humanoid phantom stood protectively before her.
"Bold, who dares to harm my disciple!"
The three were taken aback that their killer move had been blocked. They immediately retreated three zhang, dissipating the backlash from their own attack, and then turned and ran.
Unfortunately, Master Ran MiaoLan's master was not someone to be trifled with. He casually cast a spell, instantly obliterating the three wandering cultivators without leaving even a trace.
"Miulan, be careful yourself. The talisman I gave you only has one use left to protect you. Use it wisely."
The apparition was Ran Miaolan's master. After speaking, the entire figure vanished into starlight.
Ran MiaoLan panted, putting the talisman of protection into her storage ring. Suddenly, she felt a chill down her spine and instinctively sensed danger. She rolled to the ground, leaving her previous position.
At this time, Mo Wanfeng's sword was also stopped, his attack intercepted by a transparent silk thread, making his face contort in rage.
"Mo Wanfeng! How dare you ambush me!"
Ran Miaolan's eyes narrowed, and the sword in her hand shot forward. Unfortunately, because of the stagnation of spiritual energy within her body, her attack appeared weak and ineffective, easily blocked.
The ripples had now vanished, and a whirlwind appeared before the two of them.
The scene was rather strange, a man and a woman wearing robes of the same sect were attacking each other, while Lianri, an outer sect disciple, assisted the female cultivator in resisting the male cultivator's attacks.
"This is a private matter between her and me, so please don't interfere!"
Mo Wanfeng's face was gloomy, but he still didn't forget to warn Lianyi.
"Tsk! You, a demon cultivator. The Yunxian Sect is disgraced to have a traitor like you!"
Ran Miaolan had already noticed something was wrong. She was now certain that her spiritual energy had been corrupted by evil qi. Her eyes turned red with anger, and even if she died, she would drag Mo Wanfeng down with her.ve to find the leader of the Dark Guards, wanting to join the training camp of the Dark Guards. He said that he had learned martial arts well and would be able to better protect the princess in the fu...
