After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Now, at this very moment, outside this mountain gate.

Standing there was a group of men and women dressed in fine clothes, all of them very young, the oldest no more than thirty and the youngest only eighteen or nineteen.

Each of them has quite a background; at the very least, they are among the best inner disciples of the four major sects.

Normally, she is the center of attention, surrounded by admirers.

"The original formations and restrictions were lifted twenty years ago."

"Therefore, our entry today will not be affected in any way, and there is no limit on the number of people allowed in."

"In that year's Heavenly Pride Tournament, a total of twenty geniuses at the Golden Core Realm entered, but only two of them came out alive. The female sword immortal of the Ding family attained enlightenment from that point on, and the other one... well, let's not even mention him."

At the front of the crowd, Song Yubai was telling everyone about the origin of this secret realm.

Actually, everyone already knew this information, but they still gave him, the 'host,' face and patiently listened to him finish speaking.

After all, the Song family is the host, and Song Yubai is the nominal organizer, so they should be given this much face.

"Although most of the restrictions have been deactivated, there may still be some hidden ones that haven't been triggered, so everyone be very careful."

"The most important inheritance has been taken away, but there may be some missed opportunities. After all, it is an ancient sect. If you can come across it, it will definitely be a rare treasure."

Song Yubai's words were plain.

But it still stirred up a lot of enthusiasm among some of the people present.

After all, they had all witnessed the legendary strength of the female swordswoman from the Ding family.

Therefore, they all held a sliver of hope that there might still be an opportunity within the secret realm.

"Second Young Master, with you leading the team this time, we're sure to encounter some missed opportunities, and perhaps we can even obtain another inheritance."

Among the crowd, a disciple from the Heavenly Vault Palace who was on good terms with Song Yubai seized the opportunity to flatter him.

"The path to immortality is unpredictable; who knows?" Song Yubai smiled, about to continue speaking.

The sight of two figures slowly approaching from a distance froze his expression, and he swallowed his words.

The newcomers were Xu Ze and Mu Qinghe.

Chapter 75 Entering the Secret Realm

The cold wind howled past, like the low roar of an ancient beast, stirring up the snow on the ground and making a "whooshing" sound.

The glacier reflected a dazzling light under the sun, but that light seemed to be stolen by the two figures.

Xu Ze was still wearing a long robe, which fluttered in the cold wind. He walked with ease, exuding an indescribable sense of freedom.

It was as if he wasn't there to explore a dangerous secret realm at all, but rather for a picnic or outing.

"Is that the Xuanling Sect's secret realm?"

Mu Qinghe followed beside him, her large amber eyes wide open, looking around at her surroundings.

Her gaze shifted from the majestic glacier to the massive stone gate, then swept over the ancient magic array patterns on it, her eyes filled with wonder and excitement.

Although the Central Immortal Continent is currently the strongest of the five continents, it does not possess a secret realm with such a history of tens of thousands of years.

After all, it was a man-made 'sky island' with a history of less than ten thousand years.

This princess, who grew up in the inner palace, was really eager to see what the so-called secret realm was like.

"You really came."

As soon as Xu Ze appeared, a clear, cold voice, like an icy spring, came from mid-air.

Everyone looked up and saw Fairy Qing Shuang gracefully descending from the clouds above the glacier. She was still wearing a white dress, her face veiled, revealing only a pair of eyes as cold as stars.

She didn't want to listen to Song Yubai, but she was very interested in this young man.

"There's no limit to the number of people, one more won't make a difference..." Xu Ze replied with a faint smile, when he suddenly felt a soft touch on his arm.

Looking down, he saw the little girl beside him, her cheeks puffed out, clinging tightly to his arm.

"There are two more of us!"

Fairy Qing Shuang ignored this declaration of sovereignty, her gaze never leaving Xu Ze's face, and asked earnestly:

"Fellow Daoist, I still don't know your name?"

"Xu Ze".

“Young Master Xu,” Fairy Qing Shuang paused, “I see that you are at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, while this princess should be at the middle stage of the Golden Core realm… Although most of the restrictions in the secret realm have been removed, it is hard to guarantee that there are no hidden dangers.”

"Why don't I accompany you two? If we encounter any danger, we can look after each other. What do you say?"

Having said that, Fairy Qing Shuang's aura was revealed.

A chilling yet powerful surge of spiritual energy spread out, and although it was only released and then immediately withdrawn, everyone present clearly felt it.

—Late stage of Golden Core.

This also made the other geniuses who were watching the drama unfold gasp in surprise.

As expected of the true lineage of Flying Snow Valley.

What alarmed them even more was the fairy's attitude towards Xu Ze.

This usually aloof and cold fairy actually took the initiative to ask to travel with a strange man today?

And they even used such a friendly expression as 'looking out for each other'?

You have to understand, with her power and status, even if she wanted to find someone to be cannon fodder, countless people would fight tooth and nail for her.

"As expected of someone from Zhongzhou, this is a true prodigy with a powerful background," someone murmured in admiration.

“No, I think it’s not just because of this kid’s identity,” another voice countered, its tone tinged with mystery, “but rather… that rumor might be true.”

You mean?

Among the crowd, two disciples of the Heavenly Palace exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly, everything understood without a word.

Others were left completely bewildered by their 'riddler' behavior and naturally had many complaints.

But this concerns the secrets of Flying Snow Valley, and they dare not speak carelessly about it.

Moreover, how steadfast is Fairy Qing Shuang's Dao heart?

Such unusual behavior must be due to a spiritual opportunity.

"I think..."

Xu Ze was halfway through his sentence when Mu Qinghe interrupted him, answering directly:

"I don't think it's necessary!"

Everyone thought Xu Ze was at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Only she knew that this kid's actual strength was far greater than that.

No one knew why he concealed his cultivation level or what methods he used to do so, and yet no one discovered it.

"Come on, let's go inside first."

After saying that, the little girl didn't wait for Xu Ze to respond. She grabbed his hand, and the two of them entered the stone gate one after the other.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two figures, one tall and one short, disappeared into the deep darkness of the stone gate.

Fairy Qing Shuang stood quietly in place, her red lips slightly pursed beneath her veil, a fleeting hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

But soon, that emotion vanished without a trace, and he returned to his usual aloofness.

She didn't speak, but with a swift movement, she transformed into a white streak of light and followed closely behind into the stone gate.

Three people have already gone inside, not far away.

Those geniuses who were still listening to Song Yubai's explanation of the Mysterious Spirit Realm were looking at each other, some of them itching to try it out.

"...That's all for now. I believe you are all aware of the precautions and such."

Song Yubai's face was quite unpleasant, but he suppressed his anger and hastily ended his speech.

"Once inside, do not act alone. If you accidentally step into any leftover traps, it will be dangerous."

He took a deep breath and waved his hand:

"set off!"

This small group also entered the secret realm in a grand procession.

Beyond the stone gate was not the dark cave one might imagine, but a wide ice path.

The ice path is flanked by smooth, mirror-like ice walls covered with pale blue ice crystals that emit a faint, cold light, barely illuminating the way ahead.

The air was bitterly cold, and the breath you exhaled instantly turned into white mist, but the spiritual energy was exceptionally rich, several times higher than that outside.

Not long after they stepped through the stone gate, and before they had walked a hundred feet, three figures in the group stopped in their tracks.

"In this secret realm, it all depends on fate."

All three of them were at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. They nodded to each other as a greeting, then cupped their hands to Song Yubai and said:

“Young Master Song, we are used to traveling alone, so we will not travel with you.”

Without waiting for Song Yubai's response, the three of them transformed into three streaks of light and sped off in three different directions, disappearing into the depths of the ice path in the blink of an eye.

After all, not everyone is interested in teaming up for mutual support.

The probability of encountering an opportunity here is low, but it's not absolutely impossible.

If something really happens to benefit us, with so many people involved, are we really going to share it equally?

Cultivating immortality is a game for the brave.

True beasts always roam alone.

"The high-level cultivators have all left, what are we going to do?"

Surrounding Song Yubai were only a few people at the early stage of Golden Core, just like him, and even some at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

They didn't see Xu Ze and Fairy Qing Shuang who had come in earlier, so they figured they had already gone much further.

"Hmph, they'll regret this." The second young master gritted his teeth at this.

There was a look of resentment in his eyes, but he didn't lash out.
