Free Web NovelChapter 615: Chapter 308: Secret Realm Conspiracy (Part 2)
"Ah, so it’s the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace who graces us with their presence."
Suddenly, under the shroud of Yin energy, a rumbling sound echoed, and a terrifying aura swept across, shocking cultivators within a hundred-mile radius.
"It’s a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"
"Run quickly!"
The terrifying aftermath of the battle caused countless cultivators to flee in panic.
The battles of Nascent Soul cultivators, even with a bit of bad luck, could easily send them to their graves.
"Well, well! You are indeed the Sixth Elder, but there’s something I must tell you. The current Bihai Palace is not the same as it once was!"
In the ghostly mist, a Nascent Soul cultivator wearing a black robe held his chest and spoke coldly.
On the other side, as the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace, his Dharma Robe was a bit tattered, but he sneered:
"Old ghost, I too have something to say to you. No matter how bad Bihai Palace is, taking you down is still easy.
Moreover, today’s Sixteen Sea Suppression Sects are not the Twenty-four Sects of the past!"
Upon hearing this, the sinister-faced Profound Yin Old Demon grinned, revealing a cold smile.
"Fine! Your Sixth Elder has the backing of Bihai Palace with powerful magical treasures and divine techniques. I admit my loss today, but the major forces in the Outer Sea are stirring. What are they suspecting?
I don’t think I need to say it. I just lead the Profound Yin Divine Sect for some profit, hoping the two Palace Masters will soon emerge to quell this chaos."
Facing the ominous insinuations of the Profound Yin Old Demon, the Sixth Elder snorted coldly with an unpleasant expression.
If the two Palace Masters were still around, this old ghost wouldn’t dare as much.
It seems these old guys want to use this secret realm event to test Bihai Palace again.
...
Since the magical combat between the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the secret realm near the Outer Sea, it has thoroughly stirred the greed of countless cultivators.
This is a secret realm that even Nascent Soul cultivators covet, causing some hesitant Core Formation cultivators to show determination after hearing about it.
Some cultivators decided to seclude themselves to avoid this trouble.
But many who had little life left or were stuck at a bottleneck resolutely embarked on this journey.
When one steps onto the path of cultivation, they are already prepared for life and death.
Compared to many cultivators, for them to accept serene death, most would rather take a desperate gamble.
...
Celestial Spring Peak.
"So you’re saying the Profound Yin Old Demon just came out and sparred with the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace and then went back into seclusion?"
In the pavilion, Lin Chang’an looked at Yun Yao in astonishment.
Since this incident, the Yin Soul Sect’s secret realm has become even more treacherous, attracting countless cultivators.
Even the powerful loose cultivators hidden deep within the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea have been drawn out.
Half a year later, Yun Yao secretly came to his cave and told him that the Profound Yin Old Demon had gone back into seclusion.
In face of Lin Chang’an’s astonishment, Yun Yao nodded.
"That’s right. After the old demon fought with the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace, I heard he discussed with several other Nascent Soul old monsters and finally left with a gloomy face."
Knowing the Profound Yin Old Demon was frustrated, Yun Yao showed a happy expression.
"Why does it feel like they’re deliberately attracting cultivators?"
Lin Chang’an frowned secretly, sensing something was off.
"I feel the same way."
Yun Yao also frowned and then said solemnly,
"But the opportunity is rare, especially since the Yin Soul Sect was once a famous Nascent Soul sect. I heard several Peak of Core Formation cultivators are secretly investigating.
I suppose it’s to seize that slim chance."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Yes, the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul is rare. Even knowing it’s an abyss, countless people still forge ahead.
"Brother Lin, I am determined to obtain the position of Demon Sect Saintess this time. This is the secret realm intelligence discovered by the Demon Sect and also these restrictions. I hope Brother Lin will assist me."
Seeing Yun Yao taking risks to explore the secret realm for a chance at survival, Lin Chang’an could only shake his head helplessly.
"I will give it my all."
Then Yun Yao started consulting Lin Chang’an, the Tier Three Middle Grade Array Master, about the restrictions she found in the secret realm.
The relationship between the two was such that it wasn’t Yun Yao who feared inviting Lin Chang’an to the Secret Realm, competing for treasures. The truth was, it wasn’t just her identity.
Her identity was with the Profound Yin Demon Sect. By then, other people would be in the Secret Realm too. Once Lin Chang’an entered, the information would be leaked.
Because of this, Lin Chang’an understood this point and did everything he could to help Yun Yao resolve the issues she encountered.
"This restriction belongs to the Five Elements. If you want to break it, search in the northeast area..."
Lin Chang’an, with a solemn expression, began explaining the method to break the restriction to Yun Yao, who also listened intently.
"Thank you, Brother Lin."
Three days later, Yun Yao secretly left Celestial Spring Peak, leaving only Lin Chang’an alone in the pavilion, frowning in thought.
"Even Nascent Souls are getting involved. The situation is becoming more and more chaotic. With my current strength, I am clearly not strong enough. It seems I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."
[Life Span: 189/607]
[Realm: Core Golden Early Stage (68/100)]
Seeing his own cultivation realm, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but shake his head silently.
Then he turned around and entered the cave mansion for dual cultivation with his Sword Servant.
It’s not just him. The strength of the Sword Servant also needs to be enhanced. The world outside is so chaotic. If the Sword Servant encounters danger out there someday, he would deeply regret it.
...
Bihai Palace.
Within a huge and magnificent palace, the imposing Great Elder sat solemnly on the chair.
"Great Elder, currently the Yin Soul Sect Secret Realm has already drawn the attention of many forces. Loose Cultivators from the Outer Sea and Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea have all emerged."
Listening to the report from his subordinate, a mocking expression appeared on the Great Elder’s face.
"The bait has just been thrown, and a bunch of little fry have come sniffing the scent. These old foxes really won’t move without a rabbit in sight."
The Secret Realm attracting such a multitude of cultivators is undoubtedly the work of these Nascent Soul influences.
They use these Loose Cultivators as cannon fodder to probe the Secret Realm for them.
"Great Elder, previously the Sixth Elder had a large battle with the Profound Yin Old Demon, showcasing our Sea Palace’s might..."
The Core Formation Cultivator reporting below did not forget to praise Bihai Palace either.
However, all of this seemed utterly dull to the Great Elder, who waved him away indifferently.
When there was no one left in the great hall, the Elder shook his head and sighed:
"That old Sixth, why is his vision so short-sighted? It seemed beneficial, but he was calculated by those old demons, becoming the bait to lure Loose Cultivators."
The Great Elder showed no surprise at the Sixth Elder’s repelling the Profound Yin Old Demon. Although both were at the peak of Nascent Soul Early Stage.
But the Sixth was proficient in fire-attributed cultivation techniques, which happened to counter Profound Yin Old Demon’s yin-attributed cultivation techniques.
"Xiaoliu, that person, is a bit too self-serving. It’s understandable to plan for his descendants, but to personally step in, he really brought disgrace to our Bihai Palace."
It was at this moment that an ethereal voice suddenly echoed in the hall. Upon hearing it, joy appeared on the Great Elder’s face, and he immediately knelt on one knee and said:
"Subordinate pays respects to the Great Palace Master and Second Palace Master!"
"Enough, we are all family here; there’s no need for these empty formalities."
With flashes of spiritual light, a screen of light formed, and the figures of two absolutely stunning women slowly appeared in front of the Great Elder.
"The etiquette of Bihai Palace must not be neglected, nor its majesty violated!"
The old-fashioned Great Elder stubbornly maintained a unique saluting posture, exclusive to the Great Jin royal family.
This scene elicited a shake of the head from the two striking figures in the light screen.
The Great Elder, in every aspect, is admirable, except for being excessively old-fashioned.
After so many years, he still abides by the dead rules of the Great Jin royal family.
In the light screen, the Second Palace Master, with a gentle smile, waved her hand and said:
"Back when the Yin Soul Sect provoked Bihai Palace’s authority, it just so happened that my sister was in retreat. I set a trap for those two old demons. I never expected those two old demons to be so arrogant.
They actually brought the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King back to their sect, leading to unexpected delight that caused the current situation. When the Secret Realm opens, who knows how these greedy old demons will react when they see it."
The Second Palace Master donned a slightly scheming smile while recounting her past masterpiece, even looking forward to the scene of these old devils encountering the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King.
"Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King!"
Hearing these words, the Great Elder couldn’t help but smile and cupped his hands to say:
"It will surely be entertaining when the time comes, enough to make these old devils suffer a hearty drink."
By contrast, the Great Palace Master, who remained cold and aloof, showed complete indifference, unable to muster even the slightest interest from start to finish.
