From Dan Ding Immortal City to Shengtian Secret Realm, at the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator, it takes about a month of flying.

There can't be any stops along the way.

Therefore, using a third-tier flying magical treasure to travel becomes particularly important.

After all, before entering that Shengtian Secret Realm, if possible, it's best to keep one's magical power at its peak.

The flying ship sped along its course.

After traversing the entire cultivation realm of Yue Country, it passed through several large mountain ranges.

Among them were territories of Demon Beasts.

During this journey, they even encountered interception by a few third-tier great demons.

But under Master Binghuo's dual swords, those third-tier great demons, seeing the unfavorable situation, immediately chose to flee.

Ji Haoyuan and the others did not pursue them.

After all, compared to a mere few third-tier great demons, reaching the Shengtian Secret Realm was more important.

Finally.

After spending just over a month, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo eventually arrived smoothly at a place called the Desert of the Sea.

Legend has it that this place was once a sea area rich in resources and extremely dense in spiritual energy.

It was home to many sea clan demon beasts.

And human cultivators located on various spirit islands at sea.

But eight thousand years ago, a human Divinity Transformation Venerable battled with a fifth-tier Demon Emperor of the Demon Race.

The battle directly sank this entire sea and land.

Turning this area into a Land of Absolute Spirit.

This long time on, the spiritual energy here has still not recovered.

Ji Haoyuan and the other three, in this place, could hardly feel much spiritual energy.

Coincidentally, the Shengtian Secret Realm that Master Binghuo intended to lead Ji Haoyuan and Meng Jiyue into was located at some unknown position in this Desert of the Sea.

However, the exact position, before the Shengtian Secret Realm officially opened, they couldn't know, so they could only wait patiently.

Swish, swish!

At this moment, in the distant sky, several escape lights suddenly rushed over.

Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo fixed their gaze.

They saw that among those escape lights were several figures clad in blue Daoist robes.

Emblazoned on the hem of their robes was a Mountain and Sea insignia pattern.

"Those are? Cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Alliance!"

Meng Jiyue spoke with a slightly serious tone.

Hearing the name she mentioned, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo's expressions shifted involuntarily.

Evidently, they had heard of the Mountain and Sea Alliance that Meng Jiyue just mentioned.

They knew it was a force located in the Inner Sea of their Southern Wilderness Realm.

Initially established by numerous loose cultivators from the sea.

Over time, it developed and expanded, even undergoing several integrations, and by now, it has become a notable large force within the Southern Wilderness Inner Sea.

It is said that there is a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the alliance.

However, the Inner Sea is quite far from this Desert of the Sea.

Solely relying on flying, it would take at least a year to reach.

At this moment, the Golden Core cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Alliance evidently also noticed Ji Haoyuan and his companions.

Each person's expression involuntarily tensed.

Among them, a blue-haired, black-eyed man who seemed to be the leader had a glimmer of cold light in his eyes.

However, just as he was about to act, everyone present had their expressions change involuntarily.

They all turned their gaze to another part of the distant sky.

There.

Red, blue, yellow, white, blue — five escape lights of different colors approached aggressively with incomparable might towards the Desert of the Sea.

"What is that?"

Ji Haoyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"It's cultivators from the Five Elements Demon Sect!"

"Cultivators from the Five Elements Demon Sect?"

Upon hearing this name, Master Binghuo and Meng Jiyue's pupils subconsciously narrowed slightly.

Evidently, the two women knew exactly what kind of sect the Five Elements Demon Sect was that Ji Haoyuan mentioned.

It was a Nascent Soul strong demon sect in size and power, not weaker than the Demonstration Sect.

Within the sect, there were not only dozens of Golden Cores but also several Nascent Soul True Monarchs stationed.

Its strength far surpassed that of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.

Most critically, this sect had a life-and-death enmity with the Demonstration Sect.

Elder Withered Wood, who once almost perished with Master Yunshang, hailed from this Five Elements Demon Sect.

Ji Haoyuan truly didn't expect to see Five Elements Demon Sect people in this Desert of the Sea.

And judging by the momentum of the five, it seemed they subtly formed some kind of Five Elements Array.

The leader appeared to be a late Golden Core cultivator with a Golden Core Realm.

Understandingly, such a grand cultivator from the Five Elements Demon Sect could not be compared to ordinary Golden Core grand cultivators, or those from Golden Core sects like Dan Ding Sect.

Their methods, strength, and foundation were undoubtedly far superior to those other Golden Core grand cultivators.

Should they encounter them entering that Shengtian Secret Realm, it might indeed become a troublesome issue.

Boom!

Wherever the Five Elements Demon Sect's five landed, the surrounding sand and stones turned into Five Elements Glazed color.

Apparently, there was a tendency to extend toward Ji Haoyuan and the area where the Mountain and Sea Alliance cultivators were.

This changed the expressions of Ji Haoyuan and the few cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Alliance.

But at this very moment, from the distant sky, a vast amount of spirit light surged forth.

Amidst that spirit light, ancient seal scripts radiated brightly.

Soon, clear voices echoed out.

"In this world, those with talent without virtue are a calamity."

"I say, here there will be no fights, no weapons, all will be peaceful and harmonious."

...

As these words fell, the seal scripts in the spirit light became extremely clear.

Finally, reflecting into text of those just spoken.

In an instant, whether it be Ji Haoyuan, the Mountain and Sea Alliance cultivators, or the Five Elements Demon Sect's five cultivators, they all felt a desire rising in them to drop all conflicts, all grievances, all pursuits.

Becoming lax and idle.

Even considering leaving and returning to their own mountain gates.

"What a True Word Domain!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a fire pillar like a volcanic eruption surged up in the midst of the Five Elements Demon Sect.

In the sky above, the towering figure of a giant flame apparition appeared instantly.

Soon after, a voice with a tinge of mockery sounded.

"True Words Sect, you are as always hypocrites, babbling about righteousness and morality, but your actions remain shameless without bounds."

"Haha, I wondered whose Molten Rock Realm it was of such formidable might, turns out to be Fellow Daoist Master Chi Yan of the Five Elements Demon Sect."

Within the pervasive spirit light, a middle-aged man resembling an immortal's appearance, with eyes as bright as stars.

He seemed to see through the fiery apparition's true nature, his lips curling into a faint smile.

He appeared completely unbothered by the mocking words just spoken.

Calmly, he said: "Fellow Daoist Master Chi Yan, this Shengtian Secret Realm, we both know what kind of opportunities it may bring inside.

For safety and to prevent some opportunists from taking advantage,

why not join forces outside this Secret Realm first and clear out some irrelevant people, what do you think?"
