Chapter 720 The Myriad Poisons Secret Realm, Mu Sang's Tribulation [Please Subscribe]

Zhou Yuanlian's sudden death shocked and angered Zhou Chun and several other high-ranking members of the Zhou family.

Unfortunately, because they were separated by two different regions, they were powerless to do anything about it.

However, the idea of ​​finding out the cause of his death remained in Zhou Chun's mind.

Now that Wu Yuzhu, who went to the Yuanmo territory with her, has returned safely, the truth about her demise has also been revealed.

"Senior, you are wise. Sister Lian perished in the Myriad Poisons Secret Realm set up by the Myriad Poisons True Lord. She must have failed the trial left by the Myriad Poisons True Lord as his successor!"

"When I and Sister Lian traveled to the Yuanmo territory, we were well prepared and crossed the Desolate Spirit Desert without any major dangers."

"After we arrived in the Yuanmo territory, we were very cautious. We learned the local language and customs in a small place beforehand and inquired about the situation in the Yuanmo territory. Only after several years did we dare to show our faces and search for the next generation of the 'Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture'."

"During this period, the two of us also had conflicts with some demonic cultivators from the Yuanmo region, but Sister Lian was so powerful that she never let those demonic cultivators gain any advantage."

"Later, Sister Lian displayed remarkable skill in poison techniques during her battle with the demonic cultivators, which attracted the attention of other poison cultivators who had also received the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Through her interactions with those poison cultivators, she learned of the existence of the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Realm."

"According to those poison cultivators, the Myriad Poisons Secret Realm is a heritage secret realm established by the Myriad Poisons True Monarch. It not only contains the complete inheritance of the 'Myriad Poisons True Scripture,' but also the [Myriad Poisons Divine Banner], a treasured heirloom!"

"After discussing with those poison cultivators, Sister Lian used the first chapters of the 'Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture' she had cultivated as a bargaining chip, and vowed to share the complete 'Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture' with them in its entirety, thus obtaining the token to enter the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Realm."

"Afterwards, Sister Lian handed over some spiritual items and a soul tablet that she had obtained from trading with those poison cultivators to the younger generation, and then entered the Myriad Poisons Secret Realm alone to accept the inheritance trial left by the Myriad Poisons True Monarch."

"And after waiting outside for half a year, I received the news that Sister Lian's soul tablet had shattered and she had perished!"

Inside Zhou Chun's cave, facing Zhou Chun's question, Wu Yuzhu slowly recounted the reasons for Zhou Yuanlian's demise in a low voice.

After listening to her story, Zhou Chun and the others remained silent for a long time.

This result was quite different from what everyone had expected.

Zhou Chun had previously thought that Zhou Yuanlian's death was the work of demonic cultivators in the Yuanmo Land, but he never imagined that she would actually die in the trial secret realm established by the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Ten Thousand Poisons True Monarch!

In this way, there's no point in the Zhou family helping her get revenge.

"What do you know about that Myriad Poisons Secret Realm, young friend Wu?"

After a long silence, Zhou Chun finally spoke, inquiring about the situation of the secret realm trial.

Zhou Yuanlian's talent in poison techniques is undeniable.

Being the first to cultivate the "Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture" and reaching the Golden Core stage without any guidance, no one would believe she lacked talent in this area.

It was hard for Zhou Chun to accept that such a talented Golden Core stage poison cultivator had perished in the inheritance trial.

After hearing his question, Wu Yuzhu replied humbly, "Reporting to Senior, the information I know comes from Sister Lian who relayed it to me."

"According to Sister Lian, the Myriad Poisons Secret Realm was a secret realm specially established by the Myriad Poisons True Monarch to prevent the extinction of his poison skills. Only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can enter it through a special token."

"This secret realm is not large, but it is filled with many poisonous insects and poisons. Furthermore, a special forbidden technique is used to combine the toxins of these insects and poisons, turning them into poisonous gas that permeates the entire secret realm."

"It is said that the poisonous gas inside is a great tonic for those who practice poison arts, but if they cannot withstand its corrosive effects, they will perish inside!"

She stopped there, saying, "That's all I know. I don't know the specifics of the trials inside!"

After hearing her answer, Zhou Chun fell silent again.

After a long while, he looked at her again and asked, "So, what about you, young friend Wu? Now that you've also achieved Core Formation through cultivating the 'Ten Thousand Poisons True Scripture,' the crises that Xiao Lian encountered will continue to occur to you. What are your thoughts on this?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuzhu immediately replied respectfully, "Replying to Senior, this junior plans to devote myself to cultivation in the cultivation world for a period of time. After refining my poison techniques to a certain level, I will then venture into the Myriad Poisons Secret Realm of the Yuan Demon Realm to seek the inheritance of my poison techniques!"

At this point, she bowed to Zhou Chun and said, "I owe my current level of cultivation entirely to the support and care of Senior and Sister Lian. Although Sister Lian has passed away, I am willing to carry on her legacy and serve Senior and the Zhou family for the rest of my life!"

Upon hearing her answer and thoughts, Zhou Chun's expression shifted slightly, and she glanced at her with some surprise.

Then he slowly nodded and said, "You are very thoughtful. If Xiaolian knew that you could inherit her will and fulfill her unfinished wishes in the future, she would be very gratified."

He then waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, you will inherit Xiaolian's cave from now on. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come and ask me."

"Yes, this junior will certainly live up to the clan leader's high expectations!"

Wu Yuzhu bowed her head slightly and replied.

Having settled Wu Yuzhu's future plans, Zhou Chun suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Hmm, I'm also a bit curious about the situation in the Yuanmo Realm. Since you've returned from there, please answer some of my questions."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuzhu immediately replied respectfully, "Clan leader, please feel free to ask. This junior will answer all your questions to the best of my knowledge."

So Zhou Chun asked her some questions about things she was concerned about.

Through his question-and-answer exchange with Wu Yuzhu, Zhou Chun gained a more detailed understanding of the situation in the Yuanmo Territory.

According to Wu Yuzhu, the Yuanmo Realm is as vast as three Tianling Realms.

However, many areas there are resource-poor and unsuitable for cultivators to live in.

The area where demonic cultivators mainly congregate and are active is less than two Heavenly Spirit Realms in size.

There were no more cultivators there; only all sorts of demonic cultivators remained.

However, the number of demonic cultivators in the Yuanmo Realm is enormous.

There, demonic cultivators have a deep involvement in the mortal world. Almost every child born is tested for cultivation aptitude, and if they have spiritual roots, they are brought into the demonic cultivation forces to cultivate.

Those large demonic sects often have tens of thousands of disciples, far surpassing the major sects in the Heavenly Spirit Realm in scale.

However, don't think this is a good thing for the demonic cultivators over there.

Because the competition within demonic cultivation sects is extremely brutal, many sects hold rituals and events to encourage their disciples to fight to the death. The loser not only loses all their wealth to the winner, but also their flesh, blood, and soul are used by the winner to cultivate demonic arts!

Therefore, those low- to mid-level demonic cultivators are basically consumables for the sect, or even reserves for high-level demonic cultivators!

What's terrifying is that the demonic cultivators there have now become accustomed to this perverse environment.

They didn't think there was anything wrong with it; they only tried to kill their fellow disciples and climb to the top by stepping on their corpses!

It's worth mentioning that the demonic cultivators in the Yuanmo Realm created their own list of the top ten demon lords.

Of these ten demon lords, the first six are all late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and the latter four are said to also possess combat power at the level of great cultivators.

One of them was the late-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator known as "Blood Infant Ancestor," who fought against Kunxu Zhenren. He was also known as "Blood Bone Demon Lord."

The "True Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons," who created the "True Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons," was once one of the Ten Great Demon Lords and was also known as the "Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons."

This shows that the true strength of the Yuanmo Realm far surpasses that of the Tianling Realm.

If it weren't for the barrier of the Desolate Spirit Desert and the sacrifice of True Person Qingxiao to blast open the spatial teleportation channel, the Heavenly Spirit Realm would probably have had a hard time driving that Yuan Demon Legion back to the Yuan Demon Realm.

However, although the Yuanmo Realm is powerful, it is not without its constraints.

First of all, there is no unity among the various factions within them. Many sects are even mortal enemies. When they meet outside, they will fight to the death. Hunting down disciples of the opposing faction will earn them rewards from their own sect.

Secondly, there is also a covetous alien race on their side called the "Giant God Race".

This alien race is not to be underestimated; it is in no way inferior to the "Multi-Winged Race," and it is extremely aggressive.

Every few years, the demonic cultivators of the Yuanmo Realm would wage a great war against this alien race, and each war would result in a large number of casualties.

Therefore, when the various factions of the Yuanmo Realm were able to unite and launch an expedition to the Tianling Realm, it was not without the idea of ​​opening up a way out.

Unfortunately, immortals and demons are irreconcilable enemies. The cultivators here will not allow these demonic cultivators to come and wreak havoc on the cultivation world just because they are both human!

Now that the Heavenly Spirit Alliance has been established, and Venerable Tianyi has spoken out to unite the entire cultivation world to deal with the possible alien crisis, the Yuanmo Realm has even less chance of invading the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Having learned this, Zhou Chun didn't ask any more questions about the Yuanmo Realm and immediately dismissed Wu Yuzhu.

Next, under Zhou Daoyi's arrangement, Wu Yuzhu met with the Zhou family's senior members as an elder relative of the Zhou family.

At the same time, the matter of Zhou Yuanlian's death was no longer hidden from the clansmen.

However, the cause of the fall has not yet been announced. It is only said that he fell accidentally while traveling, and the cause is still under investigation.

Although some Zhou family cultivators were puzzled by this, they did not delve into it because Zhou Yuanlian rarely interacted with other cultivators of the same clan during his lifetime.

However, the mysterious death of a Golden Core elder did cause quite a stir within the family, forcing some family cultivators to reconsider their plans for traveling far away.

Zhou Chun, however, paid no attention to these changes within the family.

After talking with Wu Yuzhu, he officially began to promote the tribulation of Mu Mei and Mu Sang.

Several magical artifacts to assist him in overcoming his tribulation were all in place, ready for him to refine.

Zhou Chun even took out the top-grade magic weapon, the Azure Profound Seal, which was used to suppress the core of the Azure Dragon Formation, and temporarily entrusted it to him for refinement.

The magic weapon that replaced the [Azure Profound Seal] in suppressing the array's core was replaced by Luo Qingni's natal magic weapon, the [Azure Cloud Pagoda].

This [Azure Cloud Pagoda] magic weapon has been nurtured by Luo Qingni for hundreds of years. Although it has not yet been upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon, it is not far off.

With this treasure suppressing the array's core, and her personal presiding over the formation, the effect wouldn't be much worse than the [Azure Profound Seal].

With everything prepared, Zhou Chun secretly left the mountain gate with Feng Yuanjun and Mu Mei Mu Sang, heading towards the place he had chosen for Mu Sang to undergo her tribulation.

To maintain secrecy and to increase the success rate of Mu Sang's tribulation, Zhou Chun did not intend to let it undergo the tribulation in the Qinglian Mountains.

He had already chosen a superior place for it to undergo tribulation, which was the Blackwood Forest, a dangerous place in Heng Kingdom.

This Blackwood Forest happens to be the border area between Tianman Plain and Heng Kingdom. The Wood Spirit Clan, one of the Five Elements Spirit Clans, is often active in it, and some people have even discovered the presence of fourth-order Wood Spirits there.

If Mu Sang undergoes his tribulation there, even if the human race learns of it afterward, they might assume that the Wood Spirit Clan has given birth to another fifth-tier Spirit King, or that the Wood Spirit of the Blackwood Forest has become the Fairy King.

In short, unlike when someone successfully transcends tribulations elsewhere, they won't be immediately associated with Zhou Chun.

Furthermore, this Blackwood Forest is rich in spiritual energy and lush with vegetation, making it ideal for the Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry to unleash their [Gift of Life] innate divine power.

If the [Gift of Life] supernatural power were used here, the blessing effect it would receive would definitely be stronger than that of the Azure Lotus Mountain Range, and it would not damage the Zhou family's spiritual land!

Nascent Soul stage cultivators are extremely fast at escaping; in just a few days, Zhou Chun had already arrived in the territory of Heng Kingdom.

After arriving in Heng Kingdom, he deliberately concealed his aura and disguised himself as a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator before plunging into the Blackwood Forest.

The Blackwood Forest got its name not because the trees inside are black, but because the towering trees there block out the sunlight, making the forest below dark and gloomy, like night.

The Blackwood Forest is home to many rare medicinal herbs and spiritual trees. Despite the presence of the Wood Spirit Clan, a foreign race, cultivators still frequently venture into the forest to explore its mysteries.

After Zhou Chun entered, he released Mu Sang to scout ahead and explore the way, so as not to disturb the Wood Spirit Clan members inside.

After venturing thousands of miles deeper, Mu Sang finally selected a satisfactory place as the site for his tribulation.

It was a basin valley where spiritual energy gathered, and many different kinds of second- and third-tier spirit trees grew there. A small tribe of wood spirits used it as their settlement and concealed it with an illusion array.

Unfortunately, this illusion could not fool Zhou Chun, nor could it fool Mu Sang, who was also proficient in illusion.

The strongest elder of this small Wood Spirit tribe was only a fourth-tier high-grade spirit general!

The remaining four tiers of spirit generals, when added together, number only five.

Zhou Chun didn't even need to lift a finger. After Mu Mei and Mu Sang summoned sixteen fourth-tier [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] to attack, the Wood Spirit Clan voluntarily abandoned their settlement.

Wood Spirits are the darlings of the forest, and the methods of the Wood Spirit Clan can be said to be countered by them. Therefore, when Wood Spirits encounter Wood Spirits of the same level, they will generally choose to retreat.

Of course, this is also a strategic retreat for them. They will then notify the fifth-tier spirit king to come and subdue the wood spirit!

For the Wood Spirit Clan, the Wood Spirit is also a rare treasure of heaven and earth that is of great benefit to their cultivation!

However, the Wood Spirit Clan's main base is deep in the Tianman Plain, and it will take them quite some time to contact their own Spirit King.

After Mu Mei and Mu Sang occupied the abandoned settlement, they quickly triggered the Heavenly Tribulation.
