Chapter 658: Chapter 664: Entry
A fourth-order Secret Realm!
Inside, there’s a good chance that fifth-order Spiritual Objects will be nurtured. If Li Zhirui is lucky enough to obtain one or two pieces, then once he breaks through, the promotion of his Life-bound Magic Treasure will not be a problem.
Because even if the attributes don’t match, he can still trade with other Divine Transformation cultivators.
It should be known that fifth-order Spiritual Objects can’t be bought with just Spirit Stones. Only large commercial firms like Xuanfa Pavilion would feature fifth-order Spiritual Objects as the finale in their ultra-large auctions—it’s simply impossible to see them at ordinary times.
Therefore, if there’s a chance, Li Zhirui would definitely go.
"Dad, were you communicating with Lady Xuan?" Li Chengsheng asked softly.
"Yes, but it’s not convenient for her to meet with you right now."
Li Zhirui didn’t want to elaborate and said, "Adjust your states, the Secret Realm will open soon."
"Why haven’t we seen any cultivators from the Wanxiang Sect?"
Li Chengshuo had also wanted to take this opportunity to meet Wei Ningchen, but unfortunately, there were too many cultivators present, so it was simply impossible for her to find him.
When Li Zhirui had been looking for Li Zhixuan just now, he had also tried to locate the Wanxiang Sect, to no avail.
In fact, everyone didn’t have to wait long before The Secret Realm of Wanxian slowly began to open.
According to the old rules, all Nascent Soul True Lords did not interfere, watching as the Golden Core cultivators relied on their own skills to determine the order they would enter the Secret Realm.
Compared to Li Zhirui back in his time, Li Chengsheng and the others were far inferior in terms of speed, mainly because they didn’t have a wind-attribute Spirit Beast.
However, they were still roughly above average in the crowd, and among them, Li Xianxun was the fastest, passing many cultivators effortlessly like a light breeze.
After watching the three of them all enter the Secret Realm, Li Zhirui then turned and went back to the cabin, where he had to prepare for the upcoming journey in the Secret Realm.
"Xiaoqing, it’ll be hard on you to stand by outside. I’m going into the space to refine some Precious Pills," Li Zhirui told Xiaoqing as he released her from the space.
"Why are you suddenly refining Precious Pills?"
Li Zhirui shared the news that Li Zhixuan had told him with Xiaoqing, who nodded in agreement. "Indeed, this is also a rare opportunity for you, Ninth Brother. Maybe you can make an early breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late Stage." n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Letting her thoughts wander, she couldn’t help saying, "Maybe you can even find a Spiritual Object that will take Da Qing’s bloodline a step further."
Originally, Xiaoqing’s luck had soared, allowing her to advance her bloodline to fifth-order all at once, but Da Qing was still lingering at fourth-order.
"That’s not so easy," Li Zhirui shook his head.
A fourth-order Secret Realm already has a massive appeal to Nascent Soul cultivators, and this time, after opening subsequent to The Wanxian Secret Realm, Nascent Soul cultivators from all over gathered, making it even more dangerous. The competition would undoubtedly intensify.
Li Zhirui never dared to underestimate the heroes of the world; even with the help of Xiaoqing, a fourth-order Spirit Beast, he didn’t have full confidence that he could secure a fifth-order Spiritual Object.
Unless Li Zhixuan was added to that equation.
Unfortunately, the troubles plaguing her were not something that the Li family could handle at the moment. Thus, even if they met in the Secret Realm, they wouldn’t join forces.
Li Zhirui shook his head, casting aside these distracting thoughts, and took out a positioning device, instructing Xiaoqing, "Keep an eye on changes in the device. If you see Spirit Light flashing, that means someone is coming out of the Secret Realm."
The tower would immediately transport out those who failed the trials, and they would be sent within a hundred miles around the center of the Secret Realm.
Despite the large range, many cultivators still lurked, intending to assassinate and loot, so Xiaoqing had to rush over immediately to prevent any unfortunate events from happening.
In the past years, such incidents had occurred.
The positioning device that Li Zhirui took out was also in the possession of Li Chengsheng and the others. The first thing they did after entering the Secret Realm was to meet up with each other, then head towards the trial tower together.
Gathering the power of the three of them, coupled with the Spirit Beasts of Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, they could definitely enter the stone tower safely.
However, the Secret Realm was vast, and the range of the positioning device was limited. If their starting positions were extremely scattered, it would be somewhat difficult to converge.
Fortunately, the luck of the three Li Chengsheng was not bad, and the distance between them was not very far. They had gathered together after just an hour or two.
"How is it? Did you encounter any danger?" Li Chengsheng, the last to arrive, asked.
Li Xianxun shook his head. He had encountered some Cultivators, but since he was in a hurry, he had left them far behind.
"Looking at you, did you have a fight with someone on the way?"
The significantly drained mana was something that could not be concealed from others.
"I encountered a Cultivator in the late stages of the Golden Core; in the end, when he realized he couldn’t handle me, he escaped," Li Chengsheng said casually.
"Alright, now that we’re all here, let’s recuperate a bit and then head towards the stone tower," he added.
The siblings released their Spirit Beasts to stand guard, allowing the three of them to recover their condition in peace.
A few hours later, refreshed and energized, the three of them set off again.
A late Golden Core stage and two middle Golden Core stage Cultivators, accompanied by four third-order Spirit Beasts, composed their group. It couldn’t be assured there was no one they could not defeat, but at least nobody wished to provoke them.
Thus, the three arrived at the stone tower very smoothly, the trials and tribulations of the journey unrelated to them.
"Be careful, do not be careless!"
Before entering, Li Chengsheng reminded them again and again.
Even though a failure in the trial wouldn’t mean real death, it was still best to go as far as possible. Naturally, the more stages one cleared, the more rewards one could obtain.
"And don’t forget the Spiritual Objects needed by the family."
For this reason, the Li family had specifically listed a catalog, from first to sixth order, all rare objects in the outside world, some even extinct.
For instance, in the first order, there was a Spirit Grass called Spirit Gathering Grass.
From its name, it could be seen that it had a mild effect of gathering Spiritual Energy—the more it was planted, the better the gathering effect.
However, for unknown reasons, it had suddenly become extinct.
Of course, with the stone tower trials existing for so many years, surely many forces had obtained Spirit Seeds, but they were non-existent in the outside world.
After all, the family had worked hard, investing a lot of resources to nurture you, and when you became capable, it was only natural to repay the family, right?
Moreover, on this matter, the Li family did not ask for much, just that the two poorest quality Spiritual Objects would suffice. For example, if Li Chengsheng passed the fifth level of the trial, he could give the Li family the first and third order Spiritual Objects, while keeping the second, fourth, and fifth orders for himself.
You see, many forces would only give the trialists one or two Spiritual Objects, and those were of poorer quality. If the Cultivator received too few Spiritual Objects, they would simply be given some point-based rewards instead.
In this respect, the Li family was already quite conscientious.
"Brother, don’t worry, I can definitely pass the sixth level!" Li Chengshuo declared with full confidence.
"The ancestor can rest assured, I won’t bring disgrace upon the family," Li Xianxun also said confidently.
"Then, let’s go!"
Having said that, Li Chengsheng took the lead, and was the first to enter the stone tower.
