Wei Lei never imagined that he would be defeated by Li Yu.

However, reality is cruel and doesn't care what you think.

After the first bolt of lightning struck, Wei Lei still had the energy to utter harsh words.

When the second bolt of lightning struck, Wei Lei was already seeing stars and was delirious.

As the third bolt of lightning struck, Wei Lei felt his vital energy completely depleted, and his life force was on the verge of extinction.

The fourth bolt of lightning struck, and Wei Lei...

Wei Lei is unconscious; it's unclear whether he's dead or alive.

But Li Yu still faced Wei Lei and released the fifth lightning-attracting array in his hand.

You've seen charcoal, right? It's black and rock hard.

After being struck by lightning, Wei Lei's body was no different from charcoal.

Li Yu picked up a stone and threw it up.

With a snap, Wei Lei's charred body shattered into pieces, scattered everywhere.

Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But we cannot relax yet. If this person has any means of warning us, he will still pose a threat to Li Yu.

Li Yu used a flat, large rock to crush the charred body inch by inch, ensuring there was no chance of survival. He then stored the charred remains in his storage bag and cleaned up any traces of the battle nearby.

Fortunately, this was deep in a dense forest, where there were plenty of dead branches and decaying leaves. Li Yu covered every trace of the struggle with thick layers of branches and leaves. Of course, most of the traces were made by him using a lightning bolt array.

Only when all these things are done can it be considered a perfect operation.

Li Yu sat in the tree hollow, reflecting on the battle.

First, Li Yu knew he would win. But winning alone wasn't enough; winning perfectly, without taking any damage, and without attracting attention required skill.

If Li Yu were to unleash a powerful attack right from the start, bombarding this person with all five lightning-summoning arrays, he might win the battle, but he might also let that person escape.

If he escapes, Li Yu will face relentless pursuit. He'll take down the younger one, then the older one; he'll take down the older one, then the even older one.

We must nip it in the bud and make a clean break; only then can we be absolutely certain of success.

Of course, there is still an uncertainty in this battle.

Yi Hu.

That disciple named Yi Hu must have known someone was looking for him. Although he hadn't witnessed my battle, there was still a possibility he might have betrayed me.

Li Yu felt a murderous intent rising in his heart.

It would be best to kill Yi Hu.

However, there's no opportunity to make a move against him right now. There's definitely no chance within the sect. The elders and the protective array within the sect aren't just for show. Only when Li Yu and Yi Hu are on a mission together, like this time, can they find an opportunity to strike.

Let's not talk about these things.

Li Yu was holding a Qiankun bag in his hand.

Compared to the one his senior sister gave him, it was in a completely different league. Moreover, the four corners of this Qiankun bag were charred black, and it showed considerable wear and tear.

"Luckily it's not broken."

In this battle, Li Yu had almost spent all 1000 contribution points he had borrowed from Qiu Xu. He only had spirit stones worth less than 200 contribution points left.

He felt a pang of heartache.

"Everyone says money flows like water. But this water's flowing away way too fast!"

But he knew he couldn't skimp on this money. Without those 1000 contribution points, he'd be the one to die. He was now entirely relying on Wei Lei's Qiankun Bag to be more substantial; he absolutely couldn't let Wei Lei make a losing deal.

But Li Yu was not in a hurry to open the Qiankun bag.

If there's some kind of warning treasure inside, one wrong move could lead to total defeat.

Li Yu continued to study the introductory magic array of the secret realm.

With the help of a refined Dao heart, no tools are needed to unlock it.

"Is it done yet?" Li Yu asked.

"Right away, right away!" Linglong's voice sounded anxious.

It was a very emotional Dao heart, which often gave Li Yu the illusion that it was a little girl with extraordinary talent.

"Okay, it's untied!"

As Linglong Daoxin happily reported, Li Yu's figure flashed for a moment and then disappeared. Only ripples of spiritual energy remained in the spot.

……

[Enter the Secret Realm: Xuanbo Gate (First Realm)]

The scene before Li Yu's eyes flashed, and he felt dizzy.

When I came to my senses, I found myself inside the secret realm.

Before me lay a dilapidated mountain gate. As far as the eye could see, withered vines climbed among the broken walls and ruins. The plaque was long since decayed, but the three characters "Xuanbo Gate" could still be vaguely seen, exuding a sense of desolation and sorrow accumulated over the years.

In his previous life, Li Yu played games and visited this secret realm when he was a newbie exploring new areas.

According to the introduction, this place was once a small sect in the primordial world, called Xuanbo Sect, long ago. Xuanbo Sect was different from Daoyi Sect.

The Dao Yi Sect emphasizes the acceptance of all techniques, allowing practitioners of all professions to cultivate. In contrast, everyone in the Xuan Bo Sect only cultivates formations.

This secret realm is quite simple, consisting of three formations in total. Solving them all will grant you the final reward.

The rewards include a first-level Earth-grade cultivation technique 100% of the time, and there is also a very, very small chance of getting an Earth-grade array cultivation technique.

"Games and reality are different. In the game, this secret realm can be repeatedly explored by countless players. With enough explorations, there's bound to be a chance to obtain a high-level array cultivation technique."

In reality, once I clear this dungeon and receive the rewards, it will be permanently closed. I don't know when it will reopen.

Li Yu felt that he shouldn't expect to be lucky enough to obtain both a high-level Qi Refining Method and a Array Formation Technique at the same time.

Obtaining a Tier 1 Qi Refining Method should be enough.

Without giving it any further thought, Li Yu swiftly headed straight for the gate of Xuanbo Sect.

This is the first test of the secret realm.

Missing.

As soon as Li Yu stepped through the archway, a thick fog suddenly surged up around him without warning. In the blink of an eye, the fog was so dense that it was impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face, and the road ahead was completely obscured in the chaos.

Li Yu remained calm and composed: "This level is quite difficult for others. It tests their understanding of formations. All formations in the world, though different in origin, ultimately lead to the same goal, sharing the same core principle."

For example, if this place is the "Life Gate," then another place is the "View Gate," and we can deduce the connection based on various subtle clues. The art of finding the dragon's lair and locating the burial site is similar to this.

Linglong: "You actually know about these things."

"..."

Li Yu continued to recall his memories from his previous life: "Ordinary people would definitely think that if they ignored the annoying fog and just closed their eyes and walked straight, they could get out."

Big mistakes.

The formation here is integrated with the mountain gate; the only escape route has long since shifted position since the formation was activated. Therefore, only by deducing where the escape route is and making the right moves at every step can one pass this level.

Upon hearing this, Linglong volunteered, "Isn't it my turn? I can do it! I can see through all the formations! Hehehe..."

Li Yu shook his head.

"Although you can see through all the formations, it takes you too long... Never mind, it must be related to my low cultivation level. Today, you don't need to appear; I can break this formation myself."

Li Yu strides forward with boundless pride in his heart.

As expected, the mist three feet behind him dissipated, revealing a dilapidated archway. This meant that Li Yu had made the right move!

"How did you do that!" Linglong exclaimed in surprise.
