172 The Secret Realm in the Tomb
“A Secret Realm?”
Tang Huanhua and the others were stunned, but when they saw Su Zhuang’s white fingers digging into the wall, they knew that she was right.
In the Martial Emperor’s Tomb that had completely sealed off the spiritual power of the intruders, another layer of the spatial Secret Realm had suddenly appeared. At first glance, it was the kind that was extremely hidden and stable.
It looked like they had come easily, and this place could not be described as hidden. However, first of all, they only found this place because the little fox Su Zhuang seemed to have used some unknown method. Perhaps her tracking method was really strong, and she found this place very quickly. Moreover, her goal was clear, and she immediately said that this was a Secret Realm.
Under normal circumstances, a group of people would run around like headless flies. They had run into dead ends several times before, and because of their inherent impression, they would definitely subconsciously turn around and leave in disappointment when they entered a dead end again.
Why would they come up to check if there was anything unusual about the wall?
This kind of reverse thinking of ‘the most dangerous place is the safest place’, although it could not be said to be brilliant, it was really unexpected.
At least among the people present, if it was not for Su Zhuang, no one would have thought that this was a Secret Realm.
Secondly, this Secret Realm looked very stable. From the way Su Zhuang’s finger was stuck in the wall, it could actually allow people to enter directly without any abnormalities.
Everyone present knew that it was extremely difficult to form a spatial Secret Realm.
Natural Secret Realms were one of them. Those Secret Realms were the most unstable, and they would usually cycle between rapid birth and death. They often grew strange natural treasures that were never heard of in the outside world.
This kind of ownerless natural Secret Realm was the existence that Immortal cultivators scrambled for.
In the midst of countless fighting, some of the Secret Realms disappeared after the treasures were taken away, some of them even devoured a lot of people blinded by greed, and some of the Secret Realms with more abundant spiritual Qi closed again, waiting for the vitality to recover.
Some other Secret Realms would be seized by the top Immortal cultivators and set up restrictions and formations as their own cave abodes or even a place for their sects to settle down.
The former was the most common, while the latter was more of an opportunity.
This was because the space of a Secret Realm was generally very unstable. Not only would it change constantly, but there would also often be these cracks that caused the death of cultivators, not in a fight between them.
This was the reason why many Secret Realms opened once every few years, decades, or even centuries.
The more it was activated, the more the formation to maintain the stability of the space would gradually be exhausted, and cracks would appear. In the end, it might even collapse inside the space, and the people and things inside would disappear.
But now, this Secret Realm was so stable that it could move people without any spatial spells. On the surface, there seemed to be no flaws.
There was only one possibility.
This was a man-made spatial Secret Realm in the Martial Emperor Tomb.
In the minds of this group of Immortal cultivators, it was naturally very likely to be the place where the Martial Emperor’s inheritance was.
Pang Ying and Tang Huanhua exchanged a glance and immediately noticed the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Then, they turned serious.
The appearance of this Secret Realm meant that they were one step closer to the Martial Emperor’s inheritance. This was supposed to be a good thing, but the Martial Emperor’s Tomb had just been found by the people of Bi Luo Mansion a few days ago. It had secretly caused a storm, so the Green Centipede had sent them here to explore the way.
In other words, they should be the first group of people to explore this place. These two little foxes had definitely not entered the tomb before. They could only find this place by relying on their tracking skills.
They could only track a person’s aura.
Simply put, someone had already entered this Secret Realm.
They did not know if the group in front of them were the people from Bi Luo Mansion or if there were other intruders who wanted to take a share of the loot.
The people who came up behind him also looked surprised with a hint of heaviness.
They had been working in the Green Centipede for a few years and had a lot of experience. In a place like the Martial Emperor’s Tomb, danger and high rewards coexisted. No one knew what kind of unexpected situation they would encounter in the Secret Realm. It was common for them to die.
However, if they could find the Martial Emperor’s inheritance, those who were ambitious would take the risk and pocket it for themselves. If they could digest it and turn it into their own power, they would be able to protect themselves even if they were hunted down by the Green Centipede. They could even find other forces to protect themselves, and from then on, they would be able to turn over a new leaf and live a completely different life.
At almost every moment in Shanyang, such destiny-changing events were happening. It only depended on whether people could seize the opportunity.
The little fox with two ponytails walked forward and curiously put her fingers in. The wall seemed to not exist, and it felt empty to the touch. However, it felt as if she had penetrated something. She nodded and said, “It’s indeed a Secret Realm.”
Su Bi wagged her tail and thought to herself, ‘He actually entered the Secret Realm in the Martial emperor’s Tomb directly. We’re both pioneers, but his progress is several times faster than the fully armed people here. Should I say that he’s worthy of his name?’
Tang Huanhua stepped forward vigilantly. “We can’t relax. There’s something strange about this Secret Realm. Split up a group of people to continue looking for those people from Bi Luo Mansion. The rest of you will follow me into the Secret Realm.”
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip.
“This communication jade slip can still be used, but the remaining spiritual power can only be used three times. Use it carefully.”
He distributed the communication jade slips to the others and made sure that they would continue to look for the people of Bi Luo Mansion. The others knew what to do. After all, their cultivation base was not as strong as these people, and it would be more dangerous for them to enter the Secret Realm. It was better for them to stay outside and make a fortune quietly.
Not everyone had the courage to take too big of a risk.
The team was split up just like that, but the leaders remained the same. They crossed the border of the Secret Realm and suddenly, their field of vision opened up.
Behind the wall was a patch of grass.
It was not just grass, but a hill full of lush vegetation.
But before they could be surprised, they suddenly felt something strange.
Wait, what’s going on?! Tang Huanhua was shocked. He felt as if something was pulling him down.
It was gravity!
The cultivator in the Daoist robe immediately understood. Just like the spiritual power was sealed outside, this Secret Realm also had its own ‘temper’, which was to increase gravity!
“Stay calm! This gravity is harmless! You’ll get used to it slowly!” Tang Huanhua called out calmly, and the people behind him answered in unison.
“Whew… This is really difficult.” Pang Ying was stunned by the side. She tried her best to adapt to the sudden change in the environment and said with a bitter smile, “The spiritual power restriction from before doesn’t seem to have been lifted either. Adding the two together, a large part of the body cultivator’s strength has also been erased. Immortal cultivators and mortals are no different. As expected of a Martial Emperor who corroborates his Dao with a mortal body. If mortals are not affected here, then this is true equality.”
The two little foxes were demon beasts, so it was not too difficult for them. however, they also frowned and felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, a loud bang came from behind.
They could not help but turn their heads and look back. They found that the place where the wall was had turned into an arched stone door on the mountain. The door was made of large, rough stones, and there was a dark curtain-like enchantment behind it.
At this moment, the stones on both sides of the barrier suddenly closed and sealed the door.
