After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian

The secret realm was just ahead, and a great opportunity was behind the door. The monks were so excited that they couldn't wait to fly in.

Most of them were Jindan cultivators, and there were also core disciples valued by their families. Although they were in the late foundation-building stage, they were also sent in.

Make every possible effort and devote all your energy to just seeking an opportunity!
Shao Yin blended into the crowd, looking ordinary and unremarkable, and flew into the oval door with red light flowing.

After a dizzying moment, she saw an environment covered with a layer of light red mist, and in the sky was a red sun, dark red like blood.

Then, her feet touched the ground, which was a little soft and hot. But the next moment, the feeling disappeared, and she looked down to see the uneven gravel ground under her feet.

She didn't rush to act, but looked around first.

There were no other monks in front or behind him. Although everyone entered from the same door, their destinations were random and no one knew where others had gone.

This is a good thing, as it prevents the enemies from meeting and causing bloodshed from the very beginning.

She called up the map from her mind, and sure enough, the secret realm was not shown on the map.

Shao Yin wasn't looking for anything else. She zoomed in on the map and looked for the green light that represented Ye Chen. She found it.

Ye Chen is now in a city in Qingzhou. After zooming in on the map, he can see light spots moving.

Good, he is not in the secret realm.

Shao Yin felt relieved, put away the map, and then took out the formation from the storage ring.

She had suppressed her cultivation for a long time and should have broken through long ago. If it weren't for her status as a Jindan cultivator, she would have formed a fetus long ago.

It’s not too late now.

Arrange the layers of formations and start them up.

Shao Yin sat cross-legged in the center of the formation and began to absorb the spiritual energy stored in the storage ring given by the ancestor.

She didn't dare to use the spiritual energy in this secret realm. Haichao and Wenxin both reminded her not to touch anything in the secret realm, which of course included the spiritual energy.

The late stage of the golden elixir, the great perfection of the golden elixir, the broken elixir, the formation of the infant, the early stage of the Yuanying...

The laws of nature are incomplete in the secret realm, so naturally no thunder tribulation will descend.

But Shao Yin felt regretful, but not sorry, because even in the outside world, the thunder would not strike her.

She is an outsider, and this side of Heaven is reluctant to feed her such a refined and overbearing energy as Heavenly Thunder.

Without the Heavenly Thunder to temper her body, her strength would be compromised. Fortunately, she had a large amount of spiritual energy to make up for it, so she had to thank Old Ancestor Liu for giving her this.

It's a destined person.

Whether it was the formation jade slips, the mountains of spirit stones, or the storage rings with super capacity, Patriarch Liu provided her with great convenience.

If it weren't for these gifts from Patriarch Liu, her journey would not have been so convenient.

If there is a chance in the future...

The vast amount of spiritual energy in the storage ring was gradually absorbed, and her cultivation gradually stabilized at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The middle stage of Nascent Soul.

The leader of this trip, Elder Zhou, is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If Shao Yin had this level of cultivation from the beginning, she would never be allowed to enter the secret realm.

She stood up, waved her hand to retract the formation, and put it back into the storage ring. Then she hid her cultivation level and disguised herself as a late Jindan realm.

Then he threw out the flying sword, made a circle in the air, aimed at the direction of the sword tip, leaped forward, and flew forward on the sword.

She didn't know where the Phoenix was.

Without a map, the timeline and plot don’t match up, so who knows where the Phoenix went?

But the phoenix chooses to roost in the paulownia tree. If she wanders around in the secret realm and finds a paulownia tree, she might bump into the phoenix.

"Junior sister!"

After flying for only half a day, she still hadn't found the paulownia tree, but a figure flew over in front of her and waved at her happily.

Shao Yin slowed down her flying sword and waited for the person to get closer. She looked him over and said, "Fellow Daoist Lei."

"I never thought that I would meet my junior sister here." Lei Ming's surprise was beyond words, without any pretense at all.

Shao Yin nodded: "I didn't expect to meet Fellow Daoist Lei."

"Where are you going, Junior Sister?" Lei Ming walked side by side with her and asked with concern.

Shao Yin said: "I don't know. But now that I'm here, I have to look around and try to find opportunities."

Then he asked, "Where is Fellow Daoist Lei?"

She kept calling him Fellow Daoist Lei, not even calling him Senior Brother, but Lei Ming didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and still said earnestly: "I came here this time to serve as a foil for others."

"My family doesn't have high expectations of me. I'll just go with the flow."

"Since we are separated from them, meeting each other is fate, so I will accompany my junior sister for a walk."

Shao Yin's lips curved up.

Meeting is fate? I'm afraid not.

Lei Ming saw this and couldn't help but feel happy. So easy to please? He said more eagerly: "I have reached the late stage of the Golden Core. Although I am not very impressive, I have the spirit of thunder and am naturally restrained against evil things. I can clear the obstacles for my junior sister."

How humble.

If he were to be more polite, he would definitely reply: "Brother, you are so young, but you have already reached the late Jindan stage. What a talent!"

But Shao Yin was only surprised and asked: "Thunder Spiritual Root? Is this a specialty of your Lei family? Do all the cultivators of your Lei family have Thunder Spiritual Root?"

With just one sentence, Lei Ming couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"That's not the case." He remained gentle and modest, "The Lei family doesn't use spiritual roots as their surname."

He endured it very hard and didn't say proudly: "The Lei family also has mutant spiritual roots. But right now, I am the only one with the Lei spiritual root."

Although he tried very hard to hold it back, he couldn't hide his pride at all. He was too proud!

Born in the countryside, his father is unknown, and he has been a wild child since childhood. However, he was born with a mutant thunder spirit root, and his biological father, a Yuanying cultivator, came to find him and brought him back to the Lei family.

He has a high level of comprehension and great talent. His father Lei Liyang thinks highly of him. Several elders in the clan also have high expectations for him, and even think that he may become the second Mahayana cultivator.

Even my father doesn’t have such a status!
That is why, when he learned that the secret realm of Tianque was about to open, no matter how others didn't say anything, he was sure that there would be a spot for him.

Thinking of this, his gaze towards the female cultivator beside him became even more gentle and affectionate.

A pure yin body.

This kind of furnace cauldron physique is very powerful for any cultivator. For a pure yang body, it is even more powerful.

And although he is not a pure yang body, he has an extremely strong and fierce thunder spirit root. Her effect on him is no less than that of a pure yang body.

With his aptitude, it would be easy for him to form a baby and become a spirit. Breaking through to the Mahayana stage was just around the corner. With her harmony of yin and yang, how difficult would it be for him to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage?

He was thinking about it very much. If Shaoyin knew about it, she would tell Yunhua and make fun of him.

Is it so easy to reach the Mahayana stage? If the Mahayana stage is so easy, why is Yunhua stuck for more than 1,800 years and still unable to break through?
If the Golden Core Realm is the true threshold to the path of cultivation, then the Spirit Transformation Realm is a watershed that keeps millions of cultivators out.

Among a hundred mortals, there can not be even one cultivator.

Among a hundred cultivators, there can't be one with dual spiritual roots.

A cultivator with a single spiritual root is even rarer. For example, Yunhua, Xiaoyaozi, and Wenxin, they all have single spiritual roots. But what is their current situation?
Yunhua has been stuck in the Spirit Transformation Stage for over a thousand years and has been unable to break through.

Wenxin is not young anymore. He was Yunhua's disciple when he was a thousand years old. He is at least eight hundred years old now and is still a Nascent Soul.

Xiaoyaozi is similar.

Like Qiu Shuang, a cultivator who was promoted to the state of god transformation at the age of over 200 years old, she is truly a genius and a daughter of heaven.

But even Qiu Shuang might not be able to successfully break through the Mahayana stage. She might be stuck in the state of transformation of spirits like Yun Hua until her death. Lei Ming thought that cultivation and ascension were so easy, and it might be difficult for him to even transform into spirits.

"Congratulations to Brother Lei." She released her spiritual sense to search for the paulownia wood, speaking casually.

Lei Ming thought she was being reserved and said with a smile, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

"What is your spiritual root, Junior Sister?" he asked with concern.

Shao Yin turned her head and said with a half-smile: "Don't you know?"

"Should I know?" Lei Ming asked in confusion.

Shao Yin smiled and said, "I thought you knew." She retracted her gaze and looked ahead leisurely, "Since you have seen me in the Holy City, how come you don't know what I did in the square?"

She shouted loudly, and everyone in the entire holy city, unless they were deaf, should know that she was a pure yin body.

Before Yunhua left, he did not do anything to make everyone forget about it.

Even if he had the intention, Beidou's gentleness and Wanxu's unforgiveness would not let him succeed.

Lei Ming said, he didn't know? It was really a joke.

Lei Ming's heart was filled with alarm, but his expression remained confused: "I thought my junior sister was joking at the time."

"Why, Junior Sister isn't that right?" He said in shock, "Then, isn't Junior Sister in danger?"

He was so anxious that sweat almost broke out on his forehead: "Junior sister, you are too reckless. You know, a pure yin body... Ouch!"

Shao Yin watched his performance with amusement.

Honestly, his acting is really poor.

"That's why I begged Master to let me enter the secret realm." She smiled and said, "Once my strength improves, who will dare to use me as a cauldron?"

□□ said solemnly: "Junior sister, what you said is very true."

After a pause, he said firmly, "I will protect my junior sister! I will not leave her side during this trip. No matter what treasures she finds, I will grab them for her!"

Shao Yin glanced over and said, "Brother, you are only in the late Jindan stage."

Isn't this underestimating him? Lei Ming's eyes revealed pride: "Although I am not talented, I have a magic weapon given to me by my elders to protect me."

"How powerful is it?" Shao Yin asked.

Lei Ming actually dared to answer: "Those below the level of Spiritualization are not taken seriously."

That's pretty impressive. Shao Yin nodded: "Very good."

Thinking back to the time when she and Jin Xian encountered a giant spider on the outskirts of the Forbidden Sun Forest that nearly took their lives, this was equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of a human cultivator.

In other words, such a terrifying monster couldn't do anything to him.

But this shouldn't be his trump card, Shao Yin thought.

There is no day or night in the secret realm.

When they came in, a blood-red sun was hanging in the sky, but the two of them walked through the secret realm for a long time and the position of the sun did not move.

This is not the real sun, it is just hanging in the sky, making people think it is the sun.

"Junior sister, what are you looking for?" As shrewd as Lei Ming, he had already noticed that she seemed to be moving forward with a purpose.

Shao Yin said: "Nothing."

Below was a lake, dark and gloomy, like a pool of blood.

It was unclear whether the two had good or bad luck. After flying for most of the day, they did not encounter any monsters or dangers, nor did they encounter any magical objects or treasures.

"Take a break." She landed her flying sword and sat down at the edge of the pool of blood.

Thunder naturally followed.

"What are you thinking about, Junior Sister?" He saw her sit down, take out the spiritual fruit from the storage ring, and eat it expressionlessly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

She has water spirit roots, but she is a useless person who would hide behind him when in danger. How could such a cold and heartless look appear on her face?
"I was thinking about something that happened a long time ago." Shao Yin was chewing on a spiritual fruit. When she saw him looking at her, she took out another handful and asked, "Do you want some?"

Lei Ming smiled and said, "I do."

He took out the spiritual fruit from his storage bag and ate it slowly.

Shao Yin saw that he was on guard, so she didn't expose him. Instead, she put the item into her storage ring, took out a jar of wine, and started drinking.

"Junior sister, do you like drinking?" Lei Ming asked.

Shao Yin said: "When I feel like it, I'll drink a little."

What's the mood now? Lei Ming wanted to ask, but suddenly felt something strange.

He couldn't say it, his eyes were a little confused, and his nose twitched unconsciously: "Junior sister, do you smell anything?"

Shao Yin looked towards him.

“What do you smell?”

Lei Ming opened his mouth, but no words came out.

A cloying sweet fragrance mixed with the aroma of wine, and it seemed as if it was the fragrance emanating from her body as she walked along.

No, it was more like it emanated from him.

Lei Ming couldn't tell, looking at her, he saw her face was sometimes clear, sometimes blurry. He closed his eyes tightly and shook his head, but his vision became more blurry, she even grew three heads.

"What's wrong with me?" he asked dully.

Shao Yin took his time and poured a sip of wine into his mouth: "It's been a long time."

"What?" Lei Ming asked.

"It's been a long time, I almost forgot." Shao Yin said softly, "But you are lucky, I just ordered it and found all the ingredients."

Almost instinctively, the hairs on Lei Ming's back stood up, and for a moment he felt a terrifying feeling as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

He grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, immediately activated the defensive magic weapon, and retreated quickly.

Even though his head was dizzy, he still retained a trace of consciousness, and his defenses from mind to body were impenetrable.

He is a genius among geniuses, with a rare thunder spirit. In the future, he will break through to the Mahayana stage and be promoted to the immortal seed of the Crossing Tribulation stage. How could he capsize in the gutter?

"What did you do?" He bit his tongue hard, trying to stay awake a little.

Shao Yin drank the last sip of wine, threw the jar into the lake, stood up and said, "I'll give you a warm and soft jade."

Doesn’t he want to balance yin and yang?
How about her fragrance? Is it fragrant?
Lei Ming watched her approach step by step, but his slow mind did not raise any alertness: "Don't come over here."

What is she going to do?
He didn't believe that she would take the initiative to practice dual cultivation with him.

"Go." Shao Yin flicked her fingers, and at that moment, she flew backwards involuntarily.

The next moment, with a "bang", his back hit something hard and cold.

This is where?

Lei Ming opened his eyes wide, trying to identify the surroundings, but he saw that it was pitch black, with only a glimmer of light above him. However, immediately afterwards, a black lid with intricate dark patterns fell down, covering the sky.

It fits so tightly that there is not a single shine left.

He was locked in a cauldron.
