Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 300: Secret Island (Subscription Request)

"The secret realm discovered within the Dongshan Islands should belong to our family."

Seeing that Chen Xuan was slow to express his opinion, the head of the Zheng family became a little anxious.

"We have formed the Dongshan Family Alliance to jointly develop the area. The harvest will be distributed according to merit. This is only natural."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but glance at the head of the Zheng family.

As expected of the patriarch of the Zheng family who developed it to its current prosperity, he is extremely cunning.

Borrowing a secret island, he formed the Dongshan Islands Alliance of Hundreds of Families and tied all of them to his chariot.

This alliance is undoubtedly headed by his Zheng family.

But, this would be too ostentatious.

Will the clans of Song, Yu and Lu allow it?
Divide and rule is in the interests of the three sects.

However, Chen Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to such things.

The Zheng family has ambitions, so let them do what they want.

As long as the interests of Wolong Island and Chen Xuan are not endangered, he is happy to watch the show.

Think of this.

Just like the last time he formed a fleet, Chen Xuan readily agreed.

"Brother Zheng Dao's words make sense. I, Chen, am willing to follow in his footsteps."

Seeing Xuan finally expressed his agreement, the head of the Zheng family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xuan’s statement is crucial to the Hundred Islands Alliance of the Dongshan Islands.

As long as he agrees, Tianjian Island and Baihe Island will agree.

In this way, the seven major families, plus his Zheng family, accounted for four.

Chen Xuan has always been prestigious.

We have mastered the scarce resources such as the new variety of spiritual rice seeds.

Many small island owners in the Dongshan Islands have received his favors and act according to his wishes.

As long as the majority of island owners agree, a small number of people will join in to avoid being excluded.

Although the Dongshan Hundred Islands Alliance does not have any Jindan Zhenren, it has three or four hundred foundation-building cultivators, which makes it a considerable force.

It is enough to compete with those cultivation families on land.

After convincing Chen Xuan, the head of the Zheng family hurriedly said goodbye and went to other large islands to lobby.

Chen Xuan shook his head.

Even if there are some spiritual creatures in a secret island, how can they be divided if all the hundreds of islands in Dongshan are included?

Many small islands are just there to make up the numbers.

The real big bosses are definitely these seven major families.

As long as the head of the Zheng family is not stupid, he will definitely distribute most of the spiritual objects he harvests to them.

Otherwise, he would not be able to hold on to his position as the leader of the alliance.

To the Zheng family, ordinary spiritual objects for cultivation are far less important than the leader of the Hundred Islands Alliance.

……

Two months later.

On a deserted island.

Deep in the mountain forest.

In a valley with towering ancient trees, more than a dozen monks stood.

The old man in the middle, wearing a purple-gold robe, is the ancestor of the Zheng family who has completed his foundation building.

Next to them are the ancestors of the Zhang family, the Wei family, the Lu family, the Pan family, and the Yang family.

Chen Xuan was the youngest and stood behind the Zheng family's ancestor.

The other ten or so people are all the foundation-building island masters on the Dongshan Islands.

At this time, the ancestor of the Zheng family was whispering with the ancestor of the Zhang family and others.

The power of the protective formation on this secret island was beyond the Zheng family's imagination.

Only then did he summon the strongest combat force from the Dongshan Islands to break the formation.

One of the island masters of Feiyan Island, named Liu Ruyan, was a second-level low-grade formation master and was also recommended.

Under his command, the other ten or so Foundation Establishment Island Masters, each holding a formation flag, dived into the ground.

"Fairy Liu, how long will it take?"

The Zheng family ancestor asked gently.

Liu Ruyan is the only second-level formation master in the Dongshan Islands and comes from a small sect in the State of Lu.

Still a female cultivator.

The Zheng family would naturally not underestimate such talents and would show goodwill to them repeatedly.

Even the Zheng family's ancestor, who had completed his foundation building, spoke to her in a kind manner.

"Almost done. In one stick of incense, the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Formation will be ready."

Liu Ruyan bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"The credit for breaking through the secret realm's defenses goes to Fairy Liu. Is that okay with everyone?"

The Zheng family ancestor looked around and said.

"No comment."

"agree."

Seeing the support from the seven major island masters, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but smile slightly on her cold and pretty face.

"Thank you all for your kindness, brothers."

She only has the initial foundation building stage, and is focused on formations. She is not good at fighting, and has been living in seclusion on Feiyan Island, practicing diligently, and supporting her family by selling formation flags, formation plates, and formation materials.

The Liu family she belongs to is also a small family. She is the only foundation-building cultivator, and the other fifty or so people are all her relatives who practice Qi cultivation.

Fortunately, Feiyan Island is in a good location, close to the seven major islands.

Various killing formations were set up on the island. No matter whether it was sea beasts or robbers, they were unwilling to go to Feiyan Island to suffer.

The head of the Zheng family offered her the same status as the seven major families and asked her to come out and break the formation.

Liu Ruyan readily agreed.

Over the years, as her attainments in formations improved, she urgently needed to improve her cultivation level.

She only had a low-grade foundation, and her success in building the foundation was just luck.

If one wants to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, one needs extremely precious spiritual objects that can break through the foundation building level.

This requires spiritual objects of equal value or a large amount of spiritual stones to purchase.

Liu Ruyan also has some ideas about this secret realm.

A stick of incense passed quickly.

Under Liu Ruyan's command, nine formation flags were planted around an open space in the valley according to the Nine Palace Formation Diagram.

After nine mid-grade spirit stones were placed in, the nine formation flags glowed with spiritual light at the same time.

After a dazzling flash of light, nine rays of spiritual light merged into a violent spiritual force as thick as a bucket, and blasted towards the open space in the valley with the sound of wind and thunder.

This is the method the Zheng family came up with to break the formation with another formation.

Use the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Formation set up by Liu Ruyan to consume the power of the secret realm's protective formation.

Although it was a second-level killing formation, as long as there were sufficient spirit stones and continuous attacks were used up, the incomplete third-level defensive formation's spiritual power could always be completely depleted.

Just the medium-grade spirit stones were exchanged for nine batches, which were worth eight thousand spirit stones.

Just when everyone was getting impatient.

There was an explosion in the valley.

The Zheng family's ancestors and others were delighted.

The defensive formation finally exhausted its spiritual power, revealing a green barrier, with several palace buildings vaguely visible behind it.

However, before they could congratulate themselves, a terrifying aura of terror hit them.

boom!
In the green barrier, a huge body, shining with golden light, waving double halberds, leaped out violently.

It was three meters tall, and the earth shook, and a huge wave of dust and air rushed towards us.

"A machine man?"

Chen Xuan scanned with his spiritual sense and discovered that this golden giant covered in armor and helmet was actually a mechanical man.

It is an advanced version of the mechanical beast. Its body is made of Geng gold and mixed with some precious spiritual sea gold sand. It is harder than steel and invulnerable to swords and guns.

Its weakness is the heart area of the heart-protecting mirror, where the high-quality spirit stones used as power are placed.

"Everyone be careful, this mechanical man has the strength of a second-level upper grade!"

The Zheng family's ancestor was not surprised but happy.

The secret realm that is guarded by a second-grade top-grade mechanical man is of great value.

The materials of this mechanical man alone, when disassembled, are worth 100,000 spirit stones.

Along with the roar of the mechanical men, they have launched indiscriminate attacks on the foundation-building monks around the secret realm.

Liu Ruyan and others quickly retreated to avoid the situation.

The ancestor of the Zheng family took the lead and used a golden rope-like magic weapon in his hand to tightly bind the golden mechanical man.

Afterwards, the Zhang family ancestor swung out a golden sword beam, directly hitting the heart of the golden mechanical man.

"cut!"

The Zhang family ancestor roared angrily and raised the golden magic sword, which burst out with a brilliant light and pierced straight through the heart of the mechanical man and pierced the spirit stone hidden inside.

"Brother Zhang, hold back a bit!"

The ancestor of the Zheng family quickly cast a spell, and a big hand appeared out of thin air, slapping the heart of the mechanical man out.

Immediately afterwards, the flying heart exploded violently in the air like a flaming meteor.

The power was so terrifying that the surrounding air was shaken and deformed, and the ancient trees nearby were shattered into pieces and collapsed with a loud bang.

Fortunately, the ancestor of the Zheng family took action early, otherwise, the people closest to the golden mechanical man would have suffered some minor injuries.

After subduing the golden mechanical man, the Zheng family ancestor took the golden rope magic weapon and turned to the crowd.

"The secret realm has been opened. What do you think?"

"I should listen to Brother Zheng Dao."

"Brother Zheng Dao, please give your orders."

The Zheng family's ancestor has the highest realm and the family is the strongest, so the rest of the people naturally follow him as their leader.

"I'll stay behind."

Chen Xuan said frankly.

Compared to the unknown dangers in the secret realm, it is safer outside.

From the very beginning, Chen Xuan had no intention of entering the secret realm.

"It's great that Island Master Chen stays behind. We don't have to worry about anything."

The ancestor of the Wei family expressed his support.

"Yes, if Island Master Chen stays behind, I would like to enter the secret realm with all of you fellow Taoists."

The Zheng family ancestor pondered for a while.

"We will be divided into two teams. Fellow Daoist Zhang, Fellow Daoist Wei, Fairy Liu, and I will lead the majority of the people into the secret realm to survey and explore. Island Master Chen will lead a small group of people to guard the secret realm and guard against external enemies."

"No matter how much we gain in the secret realm, we will distribute it fairly according to our merits."

The so-called fair distribution is only a rough assessment and cannot be absolutely fair and just.

After the Zheng family ancestor said this, everyone agreed.

Then, they split into two teams.

Those who are in the middle stage of foundation building and above enter the secret realm together with the Zheng family ancestor and Liu Ruyan.

Chen Xuan led five people in the early stage of foundation building to guard the entrance outside the secret realm.

"I'll leave this to Island Master Chen and everyone else."

Patriarch Zheng said solemnly to Chen Xuan.

"I will live up to your trust."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

The divine thought moved slightly.

The psychic green snake, the jade-faced queen bee, the shadowy butterfly, and the winged mantis appeared one after another, guarding the four directions of the entrance to the secret realm.

There was also a ball of yellow mist rising up, which turned out to be an army of 300,000 poisonous bees, covering the sky and the sun, and flying in all directions.

The Zheng family patriarch's spiritual sense swept over these strange insects and smiled, "As expected of the Jinyang Sect's genius insect tamer. With the help of Island Master Chen and these second-level strange insects, we are relieved."

The other five island masters who were in the early stage of foundation building looked even more relaxed.

Chen Xuan summoned out the rare insects he had hidden in his box.

If you ask yourself honestly, they are all here to slack off.

He was elected from the small island owners of Dongshan to serve as a witness.

If they are really asked to enter the secret realm, they will find reasons to refuse.

"I wish all fellow Taoists smooth sailing!"

The Zheng family ancestor took the lead and led the Zhang family ancestor, the Wei family ancestor, Liu Ruyan and other twelve foundation-building cultivators into the secret realm.

Chen Xuan called everyone over.

"It's still early, why don't you all come over and chat?"

It’s not that he deliberately wants to win over these small island owners, but he wants to guard the entrance to the secret realm for at least two or three months.

It's really boring.

It would be better to communicate with these small island owners, maybe you will get some unexpected gains.

"Hey, here we come!"

The five small island masters sat next to Chen Xuan one after another.

The six of them chatted about the old stories of the Dongshan Islands.

Chen Xuan specifically inquired about the sea people.

These small island owners have average cultivation, but they have lived in Dongshan for a long time and have some insights into the local humanities and geography.

Just chatting.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan's expression changed.

"Everyone be careful! A monk is flying over!"

Chen Xuan looked up and saw a flying boat speeding towards him over the island.
