I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 140 Entering the Secret Realm, the Energy of Flight?

"Elder Gu Juan."

At this moment, Mihoshino, who had been sitting in the seat of honor, spoke up.

"Fang Jie is indeed far superior to his fellow disciples. However, as true disciples, it would be inappropriate to delay everyone's progress for his sake. Not only Fang Jie, but my disciple He Mingye has also not yet returned to the sect. Both Mingye and Fang Jie are top true disciples of the sect, and even if they are the second batch to enter the secret realm, they will still gain a lot."

Upon hearing this, Gu Juan frowned slightly.

"What the sect leader says is absolutely right. I was being presumptuous."

After saying that, Gu Juan returned to her seat, once again appearing calm and collected.

"Disciples, let's set off now!"

Upon seeing Gu Juan, Elder Yuan Cheng said no more and waved his sleeve.

Then, the light screen disappeared.

More than a dozen illusory flying beasts landed in front of the Elder Hall.

Sect Master Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng immediately boarded a colorful, high-level Void Realm raptor. This time, they would personally lead the team to the Misty Night Abyss.

In addition, several elders boarded the backs of the demonic beasts, and they were responsible for guarding the outside after the disciples entered the secret realm.

More than a dozen disciples with strength at the fourth level of the Void Realm or above also took their seats.

The backs of the monsters and birds of prey are very broad and thick, so it's not a problem for three to five people to sit on them.

On the back of one of the monstrous birds of prey, Xu Ning and Zhuo Zongyi sat together.

The monsters took flight, and the group traversed through the clouds and mist.

"I never expected that we would have the chance to enter the secret realm of a legendary martial arts master. It's truly a rare opportunity."

Zhuo Zongyi sat opposite Xu Ning, quite excited: "Anyone who can be called a Grandmaster must be a master of the Dao Realm."

"A master of the Dao Realm?"

This was the first time Xu Ning had ever heard of this realm.

"Indeed, a Dao Realm expert is an existence that transcends the Void Realm."

Zhuo Zongyi explained, "Upon reaching that realm, martial arts will enter a completely new level. This leap is even greater than advancing from the mortal realm to the void realm. Legend has it that Dao realm masters, when wielding their martial arts, create a myriad of extraordinary phenomena with a wave of their hands. Some Dao realm martial artists can punch through a mountain with a single punch, or stomp their feet and cause the ground to crack for ten miles around. Such martial arts power is unimaginable to mortals."

"To pierce through a mountain? To shatter ten miles of land?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning felt as if he were telling a story.

"Doesn't it seem bizarre?"

Zhuo Zongyi said, "When I first heard about the strength of a Dao Realm martial artist, I was also shocked and couldn't believe it. But I've read many books in the True Inheritance Sect's collection, and there are similar descriptions in them. If you're interested, Junior Brother, you can borrow some more books to read after you return to the sect."

"it is good."

After hearing what Zhuo Zongyi said, Xu Ning was also eager to learn more.

"Senior brother, are there still any Dao Realm Grandmasters in Jifeng Prefecture?"

Zhuo Zongyi seemed knowledgeable, and Xu Ning took the opportunity to ask him more questions.

"It's hard to say," Zhuo Zongyi said. "On the surface, no Dao Realm Grandmaster has appeared for over a hundred years. But Dao Realm Grandmasters can live for over three hundred years. No one knows if there might be a Dao Realm Grandmaster hiding deep within Jifeng Prefecture."

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhuo, is the 'Dao Seal' related to Dao Realm Grandmasters?"

Xu Ning suddenly remembered that he had heard the term "Dao Yin" repeatedly.

"good."

Zhuo Zongyi explained, "The Dao Seal is the insight recorded by a Dao Realm Grandmaster. It can be studied and observed by Void Realm Martial Masters, and it will have miraculous effects on their cultivation. Neither of us has reached the point of breaking through to the Tongyin Realm yet, so there is no need for us to study the Dao Seal now. When we need to advance to the Tongyin Realm, the Sect Master will definitely let you study and comprehend it."

Zhuo Zongyi's words gave Xu Ning some clarity about the path ahead.

However, the Dao Realm is still quite a distance for Xu Ning.

Right now, the most important thing is to acquire more resources in the secret realm.

"what?"

At this moment, Zhuo Zongyi looked into the distance, his brows suddenly furrowing.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Zhuo?"

Xu Ning followed Zhuo Zongyi's gaze.

On the back of a bird of prey, Bao Ruyuan sat opposite a handsome man with a golden crown and a folding fan, exuding elegance. The two chatted amiably.

"How did you end up with Bao Ruyuan?"

Zhuo Zongyi's eyes held a hint of apprehension.

"Who is that person?"

Xu Ning looked the man over a few more times and asked.

"That person's name is Chen Xiaoyi. He is the strongest person besides Senior Brother He Mingye and Fang Jie."

Zhuo Zongyi said, "It is said that he has now begun to study and comprehend the Dao Seal and is working on breaking through to the Tongyin Realm."

The Tongyin Realm is the biggest watershed in the virtual realm.

Within the Yue Lan Sect, once a true disciple breaks through to the Tongyin Realm, they can secure a position as an elder during the next reshuffle of the sect's core personnel.

Currently, within the True Inheritance Sect, only He Mingye and Fang Jie possess strength above the Tongyin Realm.

"Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan are entangled together. We must be careful after entering the secret realm."

Zhuo Zongyi warned, "Bao Ruyuan is a vengeful man, and we have a grudge against him. If we enter the secret realm, the two of them might join forces, and we could really be in danger."

"They're all disciples of the same sect, how dare they resort to underhanded tactics?"

Xu Ning raised an eyebrow.

"Normally, there's no need to worry like this," Zhuo Zongyi said. "But within the secret realm, opportunities and risks coexist. Disputes over resources and treasures, sometimes even resulting in bloodshed, happen frequently within the secret realm. Even if someone is killed, one can claim they perished in the perilous depths of the secret realm."

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning became wary of Chen Xiaoyi and everyone else who had entered the secret realm with him.

"We're almost at the secret realm! Disciples, prepare yourselves!"

Several hours later, Elder Yuancheng suddenly shouted from the front.

The Misty Night Abyss is not very close to the Yuelan Sect, but because they travel by flying Void Realm demonic beast, they can travel extremely fast.

We set off close to noon, and now, before the sun has even set, we've already arrived.

"This is the Foggy Abyss!"

Sitting on the back of the monster, Zhuo Zongyi looked down at the terrain and then spoke.

"Abyss in the Fog?"

Xu Ning had never been here before, so she didn't know about it.

But upon hearing "Misty Abyss," he subconsciously thought of Xiao Qiyun.

Because Xiao Qiyun, the leader of the Seven Fists of the Inner Sect, disappeared in this foggy abyss.

After returning to the sect today, Xiao Qiyun did not rejoin the group to enter the secret realm, but instead returned to the inner sect, so Xu Ning did not meet with Xiao Qiyun.

Because Xiao Qiyun had made a contribution, Mi Xingye would take him as a nominal disciple after some time.

If it is ultimately determined that Shi Fengxu is the master of the secret realm, then he might even be promoted to a true disciple.

Moreover, as the discoverer of the secret realm, Xiao Qiyun will be able to freely follow any batch of disciples into the secret realm in the future.

Splash splash splash.

The flying monsters flapped their wings and descended.

As we descended into the abyss valley, the sunlight became sparse, and the scene began to darken.

However, night vision is not a difficult thing for these Void Realm martial artists.

"arrive!"

Mihoshino and Harajo were the first to land in front of a pool of water.

Subsequently, the other flying monsters also landed.

The group dismounted from the monster's back.

"Disciples, the secret realm is three hundred meters below this pool."

Elder Yuancheng's voice boomed: "Go beneath the pool, pass through the barrier membrane, and you will be able to enter."

"According to the information we have received, after entering the secret realm, you will be scattered in different places by the mysterious forces within. It is fraught with danger, but also with countless powerful figures left behind. We hope that you can both carefully protect your safety and dare to boldly explore the unknown."

"Also, once you enter the secret realm, there is no fixed way out. If you want to get out again, you can only find your way out on your own."

The information Elder Yuancheng mentioned was all provided by Xiao Qiyun.

"Finally, before we enter the secret realm, I want to give you all a warning."

Elder Yuan's tone carried a chilling undertone: "All disciples are elites of my Yue Lan Sect, fellow disciples. Once inside the secret realm, I hope everyone will help each other in times of crisis. Anyone who dares to harm a fellow disciple will be directly sent to the Punishment Hall for execution if discovered later!"

These words also made some disciples with ulterior motives restrain themselves.

"Alright, let's dive into the secret realm!"

Elder Yuancheng jumped into the pool to lead the way.

The other elders began to coordinate with the disciples, who entered the pool one by one.

Thump thump...

One by one, the disciples eagerly jumped into the pool.

Xu Ning and Zhuo Zongyi walked at the very back.

"I originally wanted to join forces with Junior Brother Xu, but unfortunately we'll be forced to split up after entering. What a pity."

Zhuo Zongyi sighed softly.

"It's alright, Senior Brother Zhuo. If we can reunite after entering the secret realm, we'll still have a chance to join forces."

Xu Ning said.

Soon, everyone had entered the pool.

Xu Ning was the last one.

"Xu Ning."

Just as Xu Ning was about to jump into the pool, Mi Xingye called out to him.

"Master."

Xu Ning quickly clasped his hands in greeting.

Although Xu Ning and Mi Xingye did not have any private contact after Xu Ning became a disciple of the sect leader, he still received guidance and secret techniques from He Mingye through his status as a disciple of the sect leader, and also established connections with some disciples of the sect leader.

These are all benefits that come with being a disciple of the sect leader.

"Since you became my disciple, I have not truly fulfilled my duties as your master, which is somewhat shameful."

Mi Xingye said, "After you safely emerge from the secret realm this time, we, master and disciple, will spend more time together."

"Yes, Master."

Xu Ning also responded.

"Here, take this."

At this moment, Mi Xingye handed Xu Ning a round bead the size of a grape.

The bead was crystal clear and had a fluorescent glow inside, like a precious gemstone.

"You carry it with you at all times," Mi Xingye said. "It can protect you from three deadly attacks at the Transcendent Realm level."

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Ning quickly took it.

The secret realm is fraught with danger, but with this protective item, my safety is more assured.

"Alright, go ahead."

Mihoshino waved his hand.

Xu Ning clasped his hands in greeting, then his entire body surged with true energy as he plunged directly into the pool.

Because of the isolation provided by his true energy, Xu Ning's clothes remained dry.

After diving more than 300 meters, Xu Ning saw Elder Yuancheng in front of the underwater barrier membrane.

"Xu Ning, be careful in everything you do."

Elder Yuancheng's voice, like a thin thread, traveled through the water and reached Xu Ning's ears.

Although Xu Ning was Mi Xingye's disciple, Yuan Cheng also greatly admired him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning clasped his hands in greeting.

Then, Xu Ning passed directly through the barrier membrane.

When you touch the barrier membrane, it feels like touching a layer of water, creating ripples.

After his entire body was completely transported through the tunnel, Xu Ning was plunged into complete darkness, and his night vision as a Void Realm Martial Master vanished.

Xu Ning took a few steps forward, then felt a spiral beneath his feet, and fell into it, as if he had been pulled into a whirlpool of quicksand.

When Xu Ning regained control of his body, he found himself in a stone cave.

Inside the cave, irregular rock protrusions were everywhere, and vines clung to the walls, their fruits emitting a faint glow.

Xu Ning had regained his night vision by this time, and although the cave was dark, he could still see clearly.

"So this is the secret realm...?"

Just to be on the safe side, Xu Ning took out the two swords from his back and held them in his hands.

Afterwards, Xu Ning did not leave immediately; he prepared to first bring up the martial arts panel to allocate skill points.

Xu Ning has not yet used the 6000 units of energy he obtained earlier.

"Upgrading a fourth-level secret technique to the fifth level requires 1500 units of energy. All four techniques together require exactly 6000 units."

Xu Ning didn't weigh the pros and cons too much and directly upgraded the four secret techniques to the fifth level.

Now that his strength has increased again, Xu Ning feels even more confident.

Holding two swords, Xu Ning slowly made his way forward through the stone cave.

buzzing.

Suddenly, Xu Ning heard a strange noise.

Ahead, a green-glowing insect, about a third the size of a palm, rapidly flapped its wings and flew towards Xu Ning.

The insect had a slender body, several long legs, and sharp barbs on its mouth like blades.

"The vitality of this insect is so strong that it's almost comparable to a mid-level mortal demon beast!"

This was the first time Xu Ning had ever seen this kind of insect.

The sharp-beaked flying insect seemed to have caught Xu Ning's scent and flew straight towards him.

Its blade-like tip suddenly stabbed down as it approached Xu Ning.

"This insect has a very strong aggressive tendency..."

Upon seeing this, Xu Ning swung his sword, cleaving the sharp-beaked flying insect in two, which then fell to the ground.

Xu Ning bent down to pick it up, wanting to examine it, but found a fluorescent fragment inside the sharp-beaked flying insect.

"Is this the insect's light source?"

Xu Ning removed the glowing pebbles from the body of the sharp-beaked flying insect.

However, just as Xu Ning's fingertips touched the broken stones, a prompt appeared in front of him from the martial arts panel.

-

If 1 unit of energy is detected, should it be absorbed?

whether

-

"It still has energy?"

This was the first time Xu Ning had come into contact with an energy source in a living being.

Although it was only one unit, it still surprised Xu Ning.

"Yes."

Xu Ning directly absorbed the fluorescent fragments from the sharp-beaked flying insect.

The fluorescent pebbles turned into powder.

"interesting……"

Xu Ning rubbed the powder off his hand.

Just as Xu Ning was about to continue forward, he heard a dense buzzing sound coming from around the corner ahead.

Then, a cloud of fluorescent green mist appeared, composed of hundreds of sharp-beaked flying insects.

"The energy for flight?"

Upon seeing this, Xu Ning drew his sword and charged forward.

Thank you for the generous donation, Qiujiu!
