NOVEL NEXT Chapter 164: Early Activation, Entry, the Ruined City
Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man from the True Words Sect, the expressions of Ji Haoyuan and his two companions, as well as the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Alliance, slightly changed.
It was clear that they had all heard of the True Words Sect.
They knew it was another Nascent Soul sect, no less formidable than the Five Elements Demon Sect and the Demonstration Sect.
Within their sect, the main cultivation technique was called the True Words Following Scripture.
Almost every cultivator in the True Words Sect mastered some level of the True Words Following Divine Techniques.
A single word could decide victory or defeat, life or death.
It was truly mysterious and profound.
Moreover, the sect's actions seemed righteous, yet leaned more towards the extreme ways of the Demon Dao.
Everything came from the heart, unrestricted by any constraints.
At this moment, a wild laugh appeared on Master Chi Yan's face.
He looked at the middle-aged man and said boldly:
"Huanzhen, to me, in this Shengtian Secret Realm, the biggest adversary is precisely your True Words Sect.
Why should I join you and drive away the others present?
Why can't I join the others here and first drive away this bunch of hypocrites from the True Words Sect?"
These words instantly changed the faces of several Golden Core realm cultivators behind Huanzhen from the True Words Sect.
They couldn't stop themselves from cursing inwardly.
These Demon Dao thieves really are crazy!
After all, the reason they are called the Demon Dao is that their thoughts and ideas are never like those of normal people.
To think they considered allying with people from the Five Elements Demon Sect before...
That idea was truly laughable to the extreme!
However, before Huanzhen could reply, Master Chi Yan's gaze had already turned towards Ji Haoyuan and the people from the Mountain and Sea Alliance.
"Everyone, you must have heard what I just said.
Join hands with me to first drive away those hypocrites from the True Words Sect; you should have no problem with that, right?"
At this, a menacing expression suddenly appeared on Master Chi Yan's face.
"Don't tell me you're unwilling, otherwise, I'll join forces with those from the True Words Sect and deal with you first!"
Such words of sudden hostility made the faces of Ji Haoyuan and the others from the Mountain and Sea Alliance slightly change.
Indeed.
Demon Dao cultivators are truly Demon Dao cultivators.
Their mindset can never be fathomed by common sense.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Just at that moment, beams of light suddenly shot up around the Desert of the Sea.
Soon, a vast, ominous, and overwhelming atmosphere spread across the entire Desert of the Sea.
The sight made everyone present tense up.
"What is this?
The Shengtian Secret Realm is about to open early!"
Master Binghuo held a token in her hand that suddenly emitted an extremely bright red light.
It was the color of blood.
At the same time, an overwhelming murderous intent faintly emanated from the token.
"Junior Brother, Ji Yue, be careful!
If you encounter danger in the Secret Realm later, remember, your safety is the top priority."
Whoosh!
Just as Master Binghuo finished speaking.
Ji Haoyuan, Master Binghuo, and Meng Jiyue felt a powerful force suddenly descend upon them.
It was a force they couldn't resist or contend with.
In just a moment, they felt the scene before them begin to change.
Their vision was being pulled away, and a sensation of weightlessness came over their bodies.
When Ji Haoyuan looked again, he found himself standing in an extremely dilapidated city.
His feet were on dark red soil, mixed with large patches of dark red sand.
Raising his eyes, he saw that the surroundings were all broken buildings, collapsed walls, and the countless white bones buried here for unknown eons.
Ji Haoyuan tried to extend his Divine Thought to search for traces of Master Binghuo and Meng Jiyue.
However, after searching for a while, he failed to find any trace of the two.
Instead, as time went on, he vaguely felt an intense murderous intent from all directions trying to invade his heart.
The sensation was like a steel needle trying to pierce through the membrane of his mind, attempting to enter deep into his inner self.
Fortunately.
With his Golden Core Realm cultivation and mental state, he would not truly be affected by such murderous intent.
He just needed to put aside a little of his heart and pay some attention.
After confirming once again that Master Binghuo and Meng Jiyue were not around him, Ji Haoyuan finally concluded.
Upon entering this Shengtian Secret Realm, everyone had been affected by the teleportation of the Secret Realm, scattering them all around.
With this thought, Ji Haoyuan took out a Beast Taming Token from his belongings.
A flash of light.
And the Treasure Spirit Fox, with snow-white fur like a fluffy little ball, was released by him.
"Squeak squeak..."
The Treasure Spirit Fox, upon appearing, let out a couple of slightly displeased squeaks at Ji Haoyuan.
As if saying that it was almost fed up with not being let out for so long.
Ji Haoyuan immediately reached out and gently patted its head.
Then, taking a third-grade Spirit Fruit from his belongings, he offered it to the Treasure Spirit Fox.
Upon seeing the Spirit Fruit, the Treasure Spirit Fox seemed to forget its displeasure instantly, chirping joyfully as it took the fruit and began eating it with its two front paws.
Once it finished the Spirit Fruit, Ji Haoyuan smiled and spoke to it:
"Alright, Baobao, help me find out what treasures are around here.
The focus is on this thing; see if it is nearby."
"Baobao" was a name Ji Haoyuan gave to the Treasure Spirit Fox for his own amusement.
As he spoke, he used his Magical Power to create a likeness of the Ice Evil Fire Lotus.
The Treasure Spirit Fox leaned in, examined it carefully, and then sniffed the air with its pink nose, finally shaking its head at Ji Haoyuan.
Indicating that the Ice Evil Fire Lotus wasn't nearby.
There wasn't even a treasure here worthy of the great Baobao's attention.
This did not surprise Ji Haoyuan.
He didn't expect to find any remarkable opportunities or treasures right upon entering the Shengtian Secret Realm.
After all, there was a long time to go.
According to what Master Binghuo had said, the Shengtian Secret Realm would remain open for ten years.
After ten years, they'd be automatically teleported out.
As long as they found the Ice Evil Fire Lotus or other opportunities during this time, the trip wouldn't be in vain.
Swoosh!
But just at that moment, a sharp, domineering sword light suddenly appeared behind Ji Haoyuan.
At first, the sword light was silent and stealthy; not until it was within a few feet around Ji Haoyuan did its overwhelming hatred and murderous intent explode, catching Ji Haoyuan's attention.
