Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

So, a group of cultivators began to call on their friends and planned to go to the Dark Forest Swamp together to see if there was a secret realm there.

If it's true, then they can begin their next steps.

Early the next morning, a large number of independent cultivators flew towards the Dark Forest Swamp, numbering at least a thousand.

And this was just the beginning; in just one day, thousands more people went to the market.

Not to mention that after the news spread, within just a few days, rogue cultivators from within a thousand miles set off for the Dark Forest Swamp, unwilling to miss this opportunity, the truth of which was unknown.

This news quickly reached the ears of many forces.

South of the gloomy swamp, within a distance of just over a thousand miles, there are three towering mountains that reach into the clouds. This place belongs to a celestial sect called the Three Mysteries Sect.

boom!
The usually quiet and secluded sect hall was filled with commotion today, followed by a furious roar: "Can anyone tell me! What's going on with all this talk outside! Which force is behind this!"

The Three Mysterious Sect is one of the forces controlling the Dark Forest Secret Realm, and it is the dominant one, occupying a larger share of resources.

Now that the news has been leaked, or rather, made public, it's unknown how many cultivators it will attract. The truth they previously concealed will probably no longer be able to be hidden!

In fact, at first, the Dark Forest Secret Realm was just an ordinary Earth Immortal level secret realm, with nothing special about it. But no one knew what happened, and it suddenly advanced!
Although it did not directly advance to the Celestial Immortal level secret realm, it changed the direction of advancement. Not only did its area expand more than ten times, but its spiritual energy also became increasingly abundant.

More importantly, it seems that the level of the secret realm will not stop here, and there may be a chance to go even further!

If we go any further, it could very well be the Celestial Immortal Realm!
Are Celestial Immortal Realms ever truly precious? Just look at the fact that there are only three openly known Celestial Realms in the entire Myriad Rivers Realm, and they are all jointly occupied by multiple entities.

Unbeknownst to outsiders, the Three Mysteries Sect naturally wanted to monopolize all the benefits.

Unfortunately, they didn't know at the time that the secret realm had successfully advanced, and it was only when they entered the secret realm for the first time after the advancement that they discovered this bizarre advancement.

At that time, the Earth Immortal cultivators of the Three Profound Sect reacted very quickly, immediately summoning their fellow disciples and deciding to kill all cultivators except their own.

This way, we can better keep the secret.

Unfortunately, their plan failed because several weaker forces anticipated their actions and, upon discovering the secret realm's advancement, immediately gathered their disciples and decisively left the secret realm.

In this situation, if you don't want this secret to be revealed, then the best way is to cooperate.

Therefore, after discussing with several other forces, the Three Mysteries Sect decided to jointly manage this secret realm.

It was from this time that forces such as the Three Profound Sect began to guard the Dark Forest Swamp with utmost vigilance, and at the same time, cases of cultivators mysteriously disappearing occurred frequently.

In addition, the cultivation resources in this area are not of high quality, there are no unique spiritual objects, and there is such danger, so cultivators naturally keep their distance.

Gradually, no more cultivators were willing to come.

Of course, after so many years, no matter how well they kept it a secret, some news still leaked out, attracting the attention of certain forces. They even secretly sent people to test the waters, but they were all sent back.

This is also why the Earth Immortal cultivator named Tu Sen had doubts about certain forces because of the appearance of more than a dozen cultivators.

anyway!

Faced with the sect leader's outburst, the elders present remained silent, not daring to speak casually. After all, they were unaware of the matter and had only just heard about the rapidly spreading rumors.

Just by listening to it, you can tell it's extremely tricky.

"What! Weren't you very talkative before? Why are you silent now? Have you become mute?!" The sect leader couldn't help but let out a cold shout.

After a long while, an elder stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader, the best way to deal with the matter of the Dark Forest Secret Realm is to cover it up for now and find out who did it later."

nonsense!

Do I really need you to tell me how to handle this?

The sect leader rolled his eyes, his face darkening further and becoming even more unsightly.

"The most important thing now is how to drive away those rogue cultivators, otherwise the secret of the secret realm will definitely be exposed if they stay." Another elder said some useless nonsense.

boom!
Upon hearing this, the sect leader could no longer contain himself and slammed his fist on the table again.

"Nonsense! Nonsense! I called you here to find solutions to problems, not to spout useless nonsense!"

The elders who had originally wanted to speak up dared not say anything more when they saw the sect leader's fury.

Of course, it's also possible that they are self-aware enough to know that what they're saying is nonsense, and if they were to go against it again, it might not just be a matter of being scolded.

The hall was deathly silent. After a long while, someone spoke, saying in a sinister tone, "Why don't we just let those rogue cultivators enter the secret realm directly, and then arrange for people to guard the teleportation array so that not a single cultivator can be let out!"

This method is quite effective, but it is also rather malicious.

According to current information, at least tens of thousands of cultivators are on their way to the Dark Forest Swamp, and many more will surely arrive later.

There were at least tens of thousands of cultivators, yet this person ordered them all to be killed as soon as he opened his mouth. He was truly ruthless, and it didn't reflect the actual situation at all. He was also reckless and disregarded the consequences.

In order to conceal the news of the advancement in the secret realm, the Three Profound Sect not only slaughtered a large number of cultivators from other forces, but also left a large number of its own disciples in the secret realm, creating the illusion that a brutal bloodbath broke out in order to compete for some kind of supreme treasure, resulting in the death of a large number of cultivators in the secret realm.

At the time, it aroused suspicion from many forces, and after many years of careful investigation, the investigation was stopped only after repeated confirmation.

Now that the same thing has happened again, it is very likely to trigger other forces' memories of this matter, at which point the situation will probably become even more troublesome.

Moreover, the lives of tens of thousands of cultivators are at stake, and this is not a time of great calamity. No one is willing to bear such immense karma.

"This method won't work!" The sect leader refused without hesitation.

The other elders didn't quite agree with this method either, but when asked to think of something better, they couldn't come up with anything better, so they could only sit silently with their heads down.

The situation has once again reached a stalemate.

……

Talking two ends.

Meanwhile, the group of rogue cultivators were very enthusiastic, even full of anticipation, hoping that, as the rumors said, there was indeed a high-level secret realm in the swamp.

Several hours later, when the first group of rogue cultivators arrived at the edge of the swamp, before they even entered, several other cultivators appeared before them. "No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter this area! Please return!"

The faces of these men were grim and they were quite nervous. Although they came from extraordinary backgrounds and their cultivation was stronger than that of these rogue cultivators, there were simply too many of them!
If a conflict were to break out, these few people would be no match for them. Even if an Earth Immortal Elder were to intervene, it's not certain that they could suppress so many rogue cultivators.

At the same time, the group was filled with doubts. Why did so many rogue cultivators suddenly appear in the Dark Forest Swamp?
"Why won't you let us in!"

Perhaps it was because of their superior numbers that a loud question suddenly rang out from among the independent cultivators who usually dared not clash with the disciples of the sect.

"Why won't you let us in! When did this unclaimed land of the Dark Swamp become your territory?!"

Before they could figure it out, the tension suddenly intensified, as if a major battle was about to erupt.

This terrified the cultivators, who were afraid they would be drawn into the fray and become the target of the attack.

If it weren't for their duty and fear of punishment from the sect, they would have already turned and fled.

Fortunately, at this time, several earth immortals arrived at this place.

The thousands of rogue cultivators quieted down as a result, losing their previous arrogance.

"Who are you! Why do you trespass on the sacred grounds of my Three Profound Sect?"

"May I ask, senior, when did the Dark Forest Swamp become the territory of the Three Profound Sect?" A rogue cultivator stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, showing no fear whatsoever.

The reason this person was so bold was naturally because he was bewitched by Li Zhirui. Otherwise, how could a rogue immortal cultivator like him dare to contradict several earth immortals?

Who do you think you are, daring to question me?

Having said that, he casually flicked his robe, sending the man flying.

With a thud, he crashed heavily to the ground, curling up in pain.

Upon witnessing this scene, the rogue cultivators showed expressions of fear and unease, and even considered retreating.

"What's there to be afraid of! There are so many of us, what is there to be afraid of!"

"That's right, and why would they send so many people, even a terrestrial immortal, to oversee this place? Doesn't that just prove there's a secret realm here?!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Zhirui quickly incited several other cultivators to step forward, boost morale, and prevent the rogue cultivators from being affected, thinking that they should retreat.

The faces of those Earth Immortals grew increasingly grim. They hadn't expected that anyone would dare to step forward under such circumstances.

"Yes! Their appearance just proves that there is a great secret here. If it is really as the rumors say, then we won't have to worry about cultivation resources for many years to come!"

"There may not be such a good opportunity again in the future. Do you really want to stop at the Human Immortal Realm here?"

Perhaps they were genuinely encouraged, or perhaps they were attracted by the abundant spiritual resources in the secret realm, more and more independent cultivators stepped forward.

Among them were even a few hidden Earth Immortals. Although they concealed their appearance, the aura they exuded was unmistakable.

The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

After a long time, as more and more independent cultivators arrived, cultivators from forces such as the Three Profound Sects also arrived.

However, this behavior cannot make either side back down.

After some discussion, Tu Sen and the other sect cultivators decided to take a step back and break the deadlock.

"You keep saying that there is a secret realm in the Dark Swamp. Well, I'll give you three days. If you can't find the secret realm, you will never set foot here again!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn't help but sneer. What a clever scheme!
This solution was probably devised long ago. No wonder so many cultivators have been running around the swamp these past few days; they were trying to hide those array-patterned boulders.

Unfortunately, with him there, and having already memorized the locations of several boulders, no matter how they hid them, as long as the locations remained the same, it was impossible to hide them from him!
If Li Zhirui knew, how could those rogue cultivators in this realm not know?

"Alright! But if we find clues to the secret realm, then from now on you will not be able to stop us from entering the secret realm to explore and search for treasure!"

Those few rogue cultivators became the temporary leaders of the group, and after some discussion, they decided to agree.

After all, the other side has already backed down. If they continue to resist, a real war might break out!
"A word is settled!"

After hesitating for a moment, Tu Sen and the others finally agreed, confident in their own abilities.

After receiving permission, tens of thousands of independent cultivators flocked to the Dark Forest Swamp, searching for clues to the secret realm. Some of these cultivators, lacking foresight, even secretly began collecting spiritual items.

Time continued to pass, but none of the rogue cultivators found any clues about the secret realm.

Even after they dug three feet into the ground as the rumors suggested, they found no trace of any array patterns.

Because too many cultivators flooded into the swamp, Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang sealed off the cave, concealing all their presence to avoid revealing their identities.

"What should we do? Have we really been deceived? Is there actually no secret realm in the Dark Swamp?"

The thought of offending the Three Profound Sect and other forces instantly triggered a surge of fear in the hearts of many rogue cultivators, which spread like a plague.

In practice, some independent cultivators have quietly left, trying to reduce their presence.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, do you think that rumor is true or false?"

"It must be true!" Wei Gongting, who had been knocked away by the Earth Immortal, said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, the rogue cultivator standing nearby couldn't help but reveal pity and mockery in his eyes.

They all understood that if they didn't find the secret realm, the others might be fine, but he had to leave this place, otherwise he would definitely face attacks from forces like the Three Mysteries Sect!
For a lone cultivator in the Immortal Realm to face the power of a Celestial Immortal, the only possible outcome is certain death and annihilation.

The reason they followed Wei Gongting was because he desperately needed to find clues, wasn't it?

However, it now seems that he is unlikely to escape death.

Because there was only one night and half a day left before the agreed three-day deadline.

Tens of thousands of independent cultivators had already searched every inch of the swamp, but they found no clues about the secret realm and remained empty-handed! (End of Chapter)
