Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to let Fan Luokui drive the horse.

The reason is that, apart from her, no one else knows how to ride a horse! They had no choice but to choose her!

However, in order to prevent our youngest junior sister from getting lost in the wilderness, the entire process of riding the horse had to be supervised by Jiang Yuetian, because Xiao Jiang is the type who knows the way quite well, at least he can figure out the way back to the courtyard from the map Yunping gave him.

Fan Luo Kui? This girl needs ten minutes to figure out which way is north, south, east, and west when she looks at a map. It would be a miracle if she could understand it.

The cherry-haired girl grabbed the reins, a familiar feeling welling up inside her. She straightened her position, glanced at Jiang Yuetian who was supervising her beside her, and took a deep breath.

"Senior Brother Jiang, get ready, I'm about to set off."

"Prepare?"

Jiang Yuetian was a little puzzled, "What are you preparing?"

"Shackles."

A word that no one had ever heard before suddenly popped out of Fan Luokui's mouth.

An extremely ominous premonition arose in Jiang Yuetian's heart. He swallowed hard and then looked at the people in the carriage with a blank expression.

Not to mention Lin Yuan and the others, even Ye Yuchan didn't understand what Fan Luokui was saying.

This time it was Fan Luo Kui's turn to be surprised. "When I was learning horse riding at the Northern Ice Palace, people riding in carriages had to use shackles..."

"Shackles... what are those?"

Ye Yuchan instinctively grabbed the windowsill, as if she realized something was amiss.

"It's something that temporarily locks people in their seats to prevent them from being thrown off the carriage during the journey due to violent bumps."

……

violent shaking...

Flying off the carriage...

As Fan Luokui spoke, the expressions of the people from Yuntian Academy grew increasingly grim.

She tilted her head expressionlessly, seemingly not understanding why her senior brothers and sisters had such expressions, but she quickly came to terms with it. "Never mind, even without shackles, just hold on a little tighter."

"Wait……"

Before Ye Yuchan could stop her, Fan Luokui tightened her grip on the reins, and at the same time, she poured her spiritual energy into them, forming an invisible whip.

"Then let's set off."

The voice just fell.

Clap clap clap!

Inside the carriage, Ye Yuchan and the others heard the heart-wrenching howls of the four fiery cloud horses, as if their tender bottoms had suddenly been whipped hard.

What followed was an unimaginable and violent acceleration!!

If Ye Yuchan hadn't been quick-witted and grabbed her own senior sister, Lin Yuan, our little Lin Yuan would have been completely bewildered and flown straight out of the carriage.

Now everyone understood why there were shackles in the carriage when Fan Luokui was learning horsemanship at the Northern Ice Palace.

That's not because the carriages in the Northern Ice Palace have special shackles, but because if Fan Luo Kui were sitting in the carriage without shackles, she would fly out!

This is definitely a violent female driver!

For some reason, Ye Yuchan suddenly felt nostalgic for the BMW and airplane that Yunping used to drive.

She'd rather ride on that old rogue's plane a few more times than witness Fan Luo Kui's reckless driving!

That's terrifying...

"You old scoundrel, save me..."

Ye Yuchan, desperately clinging to the window frame inside the carriage to prevent herself from flying out, cried out in despair.

at the same time.

The white-robed youth standing outside the vortex of the secret realm suddenly stopped, and then, as if sensing something, turned around thoughtfully.

This action made Chu Xin, Fang Yan, and several other members of the royal family standing beside him feel somewhat strange.

"What's wrong, senior..." Chu Xin asked cautiously, as if afraid that Yun Ping might suddenly become dissatisfied.

Yunping waved his hand, "No, it's nothing, I just thought I heard my Yuchan calling me..."

"They should have left the capital by now."

"That makes sense, but maybe it's just my imagination."

Yunping recalled the magic array he had previously placed on Ye Yuchan. With that magic array in place, there shouldn't be any major problems.

With that in mind, he looked at the vortex of the secret realm before him again, took a step forward, and said, "Then I'll go in first."

“Okay, but you can only stay inside for one hour, because we can only maintain the entrance to this secret realm for one hour. If the time limit is exceeded... you may not be able to come back.”

Faced with Chu Xin's reminder, Yun Ping simply smiled and nodded. How could he not know the special nature of this secret realm?

after all--

This is the secret realm where the Twenty-One Extremes reside.

157. There's a Green Onion Maiden in the Treasure Pavilion.

The moment Yunping stepped into the secret realm, his five senses underwent an almost earth-shattering change.

It wasn't a change like visual reversal or olfactory inversion; it was more like the entire world had undergone an irreversible distortion, where space and time completely lost their original meaning and turned into a chaotic world akin to chaos.

But this indescribable chaos did not last long. The fragmented chaos before them slowly merged and eventually reassembled into a completely new form.

The Tower of Heaven.

If one were to describe it, it would be thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of stories—an innumerable tower reaching to the heavens. The tower body is an elegant gold, and the base is paved with pale blue, unidentified jade-colored stone bricks. The tower body is like a giant reaching to the heavens, and its height makes it impossible to see the spire even when one looks up vertically.

Each floor is a pavilion-style structure, and every ten floors, several golden wind chimes hang from the eaves, like bronze brackets curving and swirling like dragons under the gleaming golden tiles.

Just one glance is enough to inspire unparalleled awe for this tower from the bottom of one's heart.

Yunping looked around and found that apart from this magnificent tower, there was almost nothing else in any direction. It was all white, as if he were on a vast, misty lake.

"This guy is pretty lazy..."

He smirked, looked at the tightly closed bronze door in front of him, flicked his sleeve, slowly stepped onto the painted steps, and reached out to knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

A slightly muffled sound echoed in my ears.

The response, however, came from a rather impatient voice: "Who is it? Who's the ungrateful fool who dares to disturb my sleep?"

The next second, the door was suddenly pushed open, and what appeared in front of him was a figure that Yun Ping did not recognize.

It was a young man with a slightly flamboyant appearance, sporting short, lush green hair and an unidentified green belt around his waist. He squinted at Yun Ping.

"Who are you?"

"I am a person introduced by the royal family of the Lantian Empire, here to receive the reward for the Ten Thousand Sects Competition."

"A battle of all factions?" The young man raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this something that happens once every ten years? It's already been ten years? I feel like I just slept for a short while..."

Sensing the other party's doubt, Yunping had no choice but to take out the token that Chu Xin had given him earlier. It was a token symbolizing the royal family, with the four small characters "Wanpai Zhengchong" (meaning "Ten Thousand Schools Compete") engraved on it.

The young man took the token, played with it in his hand for a while, and after confirming it for a long time, he tossed the token to Yunping, then yawned and silently opened the door.

"Alright then, since it's the top spot in the competition among all factions, you can choose whatever's inside yourself."

After speaking, he simply went back inside, leaned back in his comfortable chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

As expected, when Yun Ping stepped into it, he was immediately met with an unparalleled abundance of spiritual energy. The concentration of this energy was so high that Yun Ping almost wondered if he had been immersed in a pool of spiritual energy. It was certain that even someone with poor cultivation talent could achieve an extraordinary cultivation speed here.

As for why this place has such a rich spiritual energy—

The reason is the dazzling array of spiritual herbs and trees around.

Looking around, Yunping saw that all the spiritual trees and herbs were covered with semi-transparent boxes, leaving only a small hole. Judging from the quantity, there were at least a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs on this layer alone, and the concentration of their spiritual energy was mostly comparable to that of hundred-year-old spiritual plants.

Crimson Flame Fruit, Loose Earth Wood, Fallen Star Grass...

As he examined each item, Yun Ping's gaze remained unmoved by these spiritual plants, which were considered incredibly precious by outsiders. Or rather...

He has plenty of these things in his storage ring; there's really nothing interesting about them.

So his gaze naturally fell on the brown staircase leading to the second floor not far away, and he took a step forward.

"Wait!!"

In an instant, the young man who had been dozing in the chair jumped up.

Those hostile eyes stared warily at Yun Ping's innocent face. "What do you want?!"

"What do you mean, what do you mean?" Yunping blinked and pointed to the stairs. "Let's go upstairs and take a look."

"No." The young man flashed forward, blocking the cloud's path, his face filled with intense hostility: "You can't go up!"

Yun Ping frowned. He didn't remember Chu Xin telling him that he could only enter the first floor of this place.

The young man explained, "In the past, cultivators who came here to collect items could only enter and exit the first and second floors. Going above that was not allowed. However, the Pavilion Master of our Treasure Pavilion has changed the rules. No outsiders are allowed to enter the second floor or above!"

"Your sect leader?"

Now Yun Ping understood, because the Pavilion Master of the Exotic Treasure Pavilion was also one of the Twenty-One Ultimates, and they could sense a special kind of danger from each other...

For example, [The Chaser]

That's why the rule was set that outsiders cannot enter the second floor and above...

However, Yun Ping didn't care. Even if he broke through the restrictions set by the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, the other party would immediately discover his identity. The old rogue really didn't believe that the old geezer wouldn't recognize him.

With this in mind, Yunping completely ignored the young man in front of him and took a step forward.

"Hey, hey, you can't come in!"

The young man panicked and immediately stood in front of Yunping, his eyes gradually turning to disgust. "Are you out of your mind? I already said no one's allowed in!"

Yunping sighed and explained helplessly, "I'm an old acquaintance of your sect leader. Once I go up there, he'll naturally know I'm here."

The young man was taken aback, then gave Yun Ping a cold look and curled his lips, "Keep bragging... You even know the Pavilion Master! I've only met the Pavilion Master once in my life, and that was when he enlightened me. With your appearance... if it weren't for the royal token, I would have suspected you were a fraud!"

“No…” Yun Ping rolled his eyes. These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth, so he had no choice but to give in. “How about this? Why don’t you just invite your sect leader down here and let him talk to me in person? Would that be alright?”
