As if to confirm his words, the ground beneath his feet began to rumble as soon as he finished speaking.
Ye Feng was taken aback, realizing that the sound was coming from creatures rapidly approaching from far away.
Moreover, there seemed to be a sizeable number of these creatures; otherwise, they wouldn’t have caused such a strong vibration.
“Let’s go. We’ll talk in a different location, ” said the middle-aged Xutian Ginseng, enveloping Ye Feng and the two Imperial Beasts. Without waiting for their responses, he disappeared from sight with them.
Simultaneously, the other Xutian Ginsengs also receded below ground like smoke.
“Rumble-
Moments later, dust billowed into the air as a group of creatures appeared, their hooves wrapped in black flame clouds.
“Roar- The scent of foreign creatures!” The leader of the group sniffed the air and roared, releasing a dangerous aura that spread to the creatures behind him.
“That creature must have been kidnapped by those Xutian Ginsengs.”
“For countless years, this is the first time a creature has entered before the
Secret Realm has opened.”
“No, we can’t let the Xutian Ginseng monopolize this creature.”
“Yes… we should join forces with others and demand the creature from the
Xutian Ginseng!”
“Exactly! ”
For a moment, all the creatures voiced their agreement.
“Silence!” The leading creature growled menacingly, silencing the others who trembled in dread.
“Let’s go.”
“Boss!”
“Move, no more talking!” Seeming to have thought of something, the leader led the creatures in a swift retreat the same way they had come.
Elsewhere, Ye Feng was taken aback by the unexpected move by the Xutian Ginseng. Once he regained his senses, he found himself in a completely different place.
Damn it!
Now he was inside the enemy’s lair.
Previously, he could have fled if he couldn’t win, but now, where the hell could he escape to?
Ye Feng looked around. Above him were countless brown-black rocks, riddled with numerous holes that seemed to lead to unknown places. Below him was an enormous underground city.
Yes, an underground city.
“Kid, you’re in for some good luck.”
“Do you know how many people like you have tried to enter our Xutian Ginseng Underground City and never got the chance?”
“You’re the first one in countless epochs!” The Xutian Ginseng King said arrogantly.
Ye Feng’s expression changed. According to the Xutian Ginseng King, no one had ever entered this place before, and he was the first.
“Brother, may I ask you something?” Ye Feng asked, changing his demeanor. “Huh- You didn’t want to answer me before, but now you want to ask me something?”
“Oh well, since you’re the first one to enter the Xutian Ginseng Underground City, I’ll reluctantly answer you. But don’t expect to pry any information out of me. I won’t spill everything, ” the Xutian Ginseng King replied stubbornly.
“Ancestor, why did you bring him to the underground city? If this guy is in league with those others, isn’t our underground city in danger?” The young and middle-aged Xutian Ginsengs followed the old one, voicing their concern.
“Mother Earth’s resources are barely holding up, and we can’t wait for the Eternal Secret Realm to open.”
“If the Original Source of Mother Earth disperses, the underground city will lose its energy source. Then those creatures will easily find its location.”
“Don’t forget, we are Xutian Ginseng, we’re not adept at fighting, even though we possess strong cultivation levels.”
“Without relying on the power of the underground city, we have no say in this secret realm.”
The Xutian Ginseng Old Ancestor’s words left the two Xutian Ginsengs at a loss for words.
Yes, they were called spiritual plants, but to those others, they were simply divine herbs and nothing to do with spirits.
The reason they could be called spirits was that they had existed for such a long period that they had developed their own souls.
“So, Ancestor, are you counting on this kid?”
“Can he do it???” The young-looking Xutian Ginseng expressed doubt.
“We’ll just have to go with the flow!”
Both nodded their heads in agreement.
“Brother, how old are you and what is your cultivation level?”
“Not very old, roughly billions of years. As for my cultivation level, it’s definitely not as good as yours. I’ve just stepped into the Reincarnation Realm.”
“Sigh, my cultivation level is too low, it’s not worth mentioning!” Seeing the smug look on the Xutian Ginseng King’s face, Ye Feng resisted the urge to hit him.
Considering this, it meant that the three Xutian Ginseng Kings, or perhaps even the Xutian Ginseng Emperor, and those stronger than them must have cultivation levels exceeding the Reincarnation Realm.
This is just within the Xutian Ginseng race!
Oh yes, thinking about this, an idea occurred to Ye Feng.
“Brother, do you know how many Wisdom Races, like you, exist in the Eternal Secret Realm?” Ye Feng asked, framing his question cleverly to stroke the Xutian Ginseng’s ego.
As expected, upon hearing Ye Feng refer to them as a Wisdom Race, a satisfied smile crept onto the face of the Xutian Ginseng King.
“Let me think about that. After all, the Eternal Secret Realm is vast, and there are many places I haven’t visited.”
“Moreover, there are quite a few Wisdom Races. In fact, while we Xutian Ginseng do possess the underground city, we still don’t rank highly among the
Wisdom Races.”
“Hmm… yes, there are exactly one hundred and eight Wisdom Races. As for the races that have not developed wisdom and other creatures, they are countless.”
The Xutian Ginseng King stated that they, the Xutian Ginsengs, were just on the verge of joining the ranks of the Wisdom Races.
Through the years, they have been trying to squeeze into the Wisdom Races, since only by joining these ranks can they gain a higher status in the Eternal Secret Realm.
Originally, possessing Mother Earth’s Original Source in the underground city, they should have been able to join the Wisdom Races in a few billion years, but unexpectedly, the Original Source began to decline, foiling their plans.
One hundred and eight Wisdom Races!
A spark flickered in Ye Feng’s eyes. He was increasingly curious about the Eternal Secret Realm.
From this perspective, the Eternal Secret Realm, despite being called a secret, was no less than some of the worlds he knew.
In fact, he considered the Eternal Secret Realm to be a complete world in its own right.
“Young friend!” The Xutian Ginseng Old Ancestor interrupted Ye Feng’s thoughts.
“We’ll tell you everything you want to know, and in return, we would like to ask for your help. Whether or not you can help, we’ll still tell you what you want to know.”
“What do you think, young friend?” The words of the Xutian Ginseng Old Ancestor caught Ye Feng’s attention, and he remained silent without giving a response yet..
