Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Book 2: Chapter 19: Land of abundance

The surface of the Full Moon Lake was as calm as a mirror, without reflecting anyone on the shore.

Many people were visiting the Full Moon Lake for the first time and were amazed by this.

The moon in the sky was unable to reflect in the water.

There was also a moon in the water, still as an illusion.

The moon in the water appeared in the center and remained motionless.

Looking up at the sky from the circular corridor, the moon was slightly off to one side.

As time passed, the scene gradually quieted down.

Everyone held their breath and prepared silently.

Finally, when the moon reached its zenith.

At this moment, the moon in the sky overlapped with the moon in the water.

The previously calm Full Moon Lake underwent a change, with ripples forming.

The moon in the water suddenly trembled.

Jiang Wang knew that it was not an illusion, a change was about to occur.

It was as if an invisible hand reached into the Full Moon Lake and "lifted" the moon in the water.

The moon in the water, like a paper cutout, left the Full Moon Lake and stood upright above the water.

Although it looked like a paper cutout, its thickness could not be seen from the side.

From the front, the moon in the water slowly expanded, eventually forming a large round moon.

This was the entrance to the Tianfu Secret Realm, known as the Moon Gate.

The cultivators present bid farewell to their loved ones, as it might be a permanent separation.

The dangers of the Tianfu Secret Realm were as famous as its rewards.

"The Tianfu Secret Realm is terrifying, but I will be the first among so many people!"

Xu Xiangqian quickly recited a "poem" and leaped into the Moon Gate.

But his posture was more accurately described as "scuttling away" rather than "bravely rushing forward".

Perhaps he knew that reciting a "poem" like this would easily get him beaten up.

Li Longchuan followed closely behind, his feet bending like a bow, and his body shooting forward like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the Moon Gate.

Without any hesitation, everyone rushed into the Moon Gate.

"We should go too." Zhong Xuan Sheng said in a low voice.

He held Jiang Wang's sleeve with his left hand and held Fourteen's armor with his right hand, and they all entered the Moon Gate together.

Just as they entered the Moon Gate, Jiang Wang suddenly felt a chill down his spine!

Because he felt that Wang Yiwu was getting closer behind him.

He didn't hide it, his target was indeed Zhong Xuan Sheng.

Because of the special nature of the Tianfu Secret Realm, no one would remember what happened inside after coming out.

This also meant that anything could be done inside.

Including killing someone like Zhong Xuan Sheng, a scion of a prestigious family!

...

Wang Yiwu followed closely behind them into the Moon Gate, of course, not to make friends with them.

Jiang Wang's hand was already on his sword, ready to strike.

Facing an opponent like Wang Yiwu, Zhong Xuan Sheng and Fourteen must have prepared for a desperate battle.

The Moon Gate was like an illusion, passing through it without any obstacles, and there was no strange feeling in the body and mind.

But after landing, it was empty all around.

Not only could Wang Yiwu not be seen, but Zhong Xuan Sheng and Fourteen were also nowhere to be found.

It turned out that after entering the Tianfu Secret Realm, everyone would be separated.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although a battle with Wang Yiwu was inevitable, having more time to prepare was always good.

In the face of such a strong enemy, it was better to be cautious.

On his left was a small river, with flowing water and swaying water grass. Fish were swimming leisurely. The water was clear, and Jiang Wang used his Dao technique to summon a stone and threw it in, without disturbing any ferocious beasts in the water.

Perhaps this river was safe, but it couldn't be completely certain.

But at least the Dao technique was working fine.

The river was long and winding, disappearing into the distance, unable to see the end at a glance.

The river was not wide, and Jiang Wang could easily jump over it, but he didn't attempt to do so. Both sides of the river were covered in green grass. On the opposite bank was flat land, and in the distance, the contours of mountains could be seen.

Looking to the right from the riverbank, there was a dense forest, also without an end in sight.

The air was fresh, and Jiang Wang carefully sniffed it, detecting the scent of water and green grass.

It shouldn't be an illusion, although there had been precedents of creating such a realistic illusion in the Tai Xu Illusory Realm. But when he entered the Tai Xu Illusory Realm, it was only his consciousness that entered, while the Tianfu Secret Realm brought his physical body along.

Another point was that if one died in the Tianfu Secret Realm, they would truly be dead.

Countless cultivators over the years could attest to this.

Was it a hidden paradise? Or did the Moon Gate possess some kind of teleportation ability?

Jiang Wang observed the surroundings and took out a jade pendant from his waist. It was oval-shaped and carved with a pair of lips.

This was one of Zhong Xuan Sheng's preparations before entering, the Sound Transmission Pendant. Each of them had one, Jiang Wang, Zhong Xuan Sheng, and Fourteen, to prevent them from getting separated.

This extraordinary item allowed the holder to communicate over long distances, which was very convenient. Of course, the distance couldn't exceed a hundred miles.

But when Jiang Wang tried to infuse it with his Dao Yuan, the Sound Transmission Pendant had no response.

It wasn't that the distance was too far for it to work, it was completely ineffective.

This also meant that many of Zhong Xuan Sheng's preparations had failed, and the Tianfu Secret Realm most likely restricted the use of various treasures, relying solely on personal strength.

This was not good news.

It wasn't because Wang Yiwu, as a disciple of the Great Qi's Military God Guanmen, had less potential than Zhong Xuan Sheng. It was because with Wang Yiwu's strength, he probably didn't need to prepare too many treasures. And he didn't have as much preparation time as they did.Zhongxuan Sheng should have been able to regain some ground with his preparations in this regard. However, due to the peculiar nature of the innate secret realm, all his efforts were in vain.

Even the sword in Jiang Wang's hand had lost its ability to trigger the golden light arrow. Of course, it was still better than nothing.

Jiang Wang put away his Huan Yin Pei, spread his palm upwards, and the green wood-element energy condensed in his palm, forming the phantom of a small grass.

The small grass lingered for a moment, then bowed its head as if reminiscing about the past.

The direction was forward.

This was a good direction.

Given the current situation, walking along the riverbank was undoubtedly the safest option.

The view was wide open, and any danger could be reacted to in the first instance.

In the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, the most unbearable thing was the unknown.

Not knowing what trials one would face, not knowing how the opportunity for the divine power seed would appear...

Everything was vague.

...

Jiang Wang walked along the riverbank, paying attention to both sides of the riverbank, including the dense forest and distant mountains, but everything was calm, and nothing happened.

"Did all fifty people who entered the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm scatter? Why haven't I seen a single person? Is the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm that big?"

Jiang Wang fell into thought.

He thought for a moment, and once again used Reminiscence.

He had been walking for a long time, and Reminiscence was still pointing forward.

"Either 'Reminiscence' is ineffective in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. But this doesn't make sense, other Dao techniques have not been affected. And if Reminiscence was ineffective, the Reminiscence Grass should either be motionless or spinning randomly, not bowing its head."

"If Reminiscence is not ineffective..."

"Either Zhongxuan Sheng is very far away from me, and no matter how much I speed up in a short time, I can't catch up with him."

"Either when I'm moving forward, Zhongxuan Sheng is also moving forward."

"Or..."

Jiang Wang suddenly stopped.

"I haven't actually been moving."
