Chapter 1134: Human hearts are unpredictable.
Another day later, the vortex in the sky finally stabilized, and the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been waiting were the first to rush up.
Next came the Nascent Soul cultivators.
After the Nascent Soul cultivators entered, countless Golden Core cultivators also rushed forward, eager to enter the new secret realm and get a share of the spoils.
However, the fierce winds at the entrance to the secret realm prevented them from getting close at all.
Some Golden Core cultivators used top-tier defensive magic treasures and managed to reach the vortex of the secret realm, but were ultimately blocked by the enormous repulsive force at the entrance.
Xiao Han spent his energy refining this secret realm specifically for the high-level cultivators of this realm.
Since it's a secret realm, opportunities also mean risks. It's far too dangerous for a Golden Core cultivator to go in.
Therefore, the immense repulsive force at the entrance to this secret realm means that anyone without the strength of a Nascent Soul Realm simply cannot fly in.
Yin Yue and Ma Yu were both Nascent Soul cultivators, so they naturally went in together to seek opportunities.
Although Xiao Han was paying attention to the actions of all the cultivators within the secret realm, she did not interfere in any way.
This place not only contains high-level demonic beasts comparable to the Nascent Soul realm but unable to take human form, but also some dangerous and complex special locations.
One wrong move and you could perish and vanish.
Even if Xiao Han's original intention was to give high-level cultivators on the Lingyun Continent more opportunities to advance, it was impossible not to create crises.
Countless cultivators across countless realms have perished along the way.
Those who can reach higher levels naturally possess a certain amount of luck; without luck, even geniuses cannot grow up.
Xiao Han was very fortunate that when she was perfecting the laws of Heaven, she had deliberately added a little bit of the influence of merit on fortune.
For cultivators who have accumulated merit, the Heavenly Dao will naturally show them some favor and bestow upon them more good fortune.
Because of this law, Ye Qi can not only avoid some crises by entering, but also have more opportunities and luck.
Seeing these cultivators venturing into the secret realm was like watching a live treasure hunt.
I must say, it's actually more exciting than watching movies and TV dramas.
As Daoist partners, Yin Yue and Ma Yu naturally embarked on a treasure hunt together.
This newly discovered secret realm does indeed contain many treasures.
The two of them have already acquired several good treasures by working together.
While passing a cliff, Yin Yue's divine sense suddenly scanned the area below the cliff and found a cave that meandered deep into the ground.
The spiritual energy at the bottom of the cliff was noticeably denser than elsewhere.
Yin Yue hurriedly said, "Brother Yu, something seems a bit different down below. Should we go down and take a look?"
Ma Yu glanced around and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's go down and take a look."
As the two flew down, they felt a chilling spiritual energy surging out from the cave entrance.
Yin Yue and Ma Yu exchanged a glance and, almost without discussion, decided to go into the cave to take a look.
The cave is spacious enough for two people to fly side by side.
The cave winds downwards, and the deeper you go, the stronger the icy chill becomes.
In places where the ice spiritual energy is abundant, ice spiritual marrow and some high-level ice-attribute spiritual herbs are usually born.
After descending about a hundred feet, you will see a cold pool that exudes a chilling spiritual energy like white mist.
Ma Yu's face lit up with joy. "Such a spiritually rich cold pool must contain ice spirit marrow or other treasures. Let's go down and explore."
Yin Yue hesitated, "My cultivation technique is not advantageous here. If there is any danger, it will be troublesome."
Ma Yu comforted him, "Don't worry, my technique can suppress the cold energy. With me by your side, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing her Daoist partner say this, Yin Yue immediately felt much more at ease.
Without further delay, the two erected a spiritual energy shield and leaped into the icy pool.
Even with the protective spiritual energy shield, Yin Yue felt the chill in the pool almost seeping into her bones.
If it weren't for her Daoist partner by her side, she wouldn't want to collect any treasures down there, even if they were there.
Compared to Yin Yue's encouragement and support, Ma Yuzhuan's use of the "Heart Sutra of Li Huo" seemed much easier.
The two dived three hundred feet below the icy pool, where the chilling air grew even stronger.
The water was pitch black, and the pool wasn't straight down; instead, like the cave above, it meandered downwards.
Yin Yue grew increasingly anxious as she walked, and was about to call Ma Yu to go upstairs.
Then, she heard Ma Yu transmit his voice: "Look, isn't that the Mystic Ice Lotus?"
On the stone wall below, there was a translucent lotus flower that looked like an ice sculpture.
The lotus flower, about the size of a bowl, is quietly growing on the stone wall.
At this moment, Ma Yu could no longer care about Yin Yue. He quickened his pace and crept to the stone wall, took out the jade shovel, and prepared to dig.
Just then, from the deeper part of the winding, cold pool, waves suddenly surged forth, accompanied by a fierce aura.
Yin Yue's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly transmitted her voice, "Brother Yu, let's go quickly, there should be a powerful demon guarding this place."
Ma Yu sensed it for a moment and quickly said, "It's alright, I haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet. You hold them off for a bit, and I'll cover their retreat after I dig out the Mystic Ice Lotus."
In the instant the two spoke, the water in the pool surged even more violently, and their divine senses could already detect that a black dragon was approaching.
Seeing that Ma Yu had already gone off to dig up the Xuanbing Lotus without any regard for the consequences, Yin Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to meet him herself.
She drew her precious sword and thrust it at the black dragon.
At this moment, Yin Yue could clearly sense that this was a Xuan Jiao at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Yin Yue is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If she joins forces with Ma Yu, who is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they should be able to defeat the Xuan Jiao and escape unscathed.
But now, this is Xuan Jiao's home ground, and Yin Yue is only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She came to fight Xuan Jiao alone, and the water column spewed by the opponent almost broke through her protective shield.
Yin Yue panicked and barely managed to wield her sword to fight back. She urgently sent a telepathic message to Ma Yu, "Brother Yu, come quickly, I can't hold on."
Ma Yu had already dug out the Xuanbing Lotus, took out the jade box and placed it in it before putting it into his storage ring.
This delay was followed by Yin Yue's scream, "Brother Yu, save me!"
However, the Xuanjiao had already broken through Yin Yue's protective shield and bit her arm.
Ma Yu sensed the fierce aura of the Xuan Jiao at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. After a slight hesitation, his body retreated instead of advancing.
Then, without looking back, it darted upwards.
Since Yin Yue is likely doomed, we might as well buy him some time to escape.
In the depths of this icy pool, a cultivator can only unleash seventy or eighty percent of their full strength. Moreover, he was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while his opponent was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and was a ferocious beast with the advantage of terrain.
He definitely couldn't save Yin Yue.
Yin Yue watched in shock as her Daoist partner abandoned her and fled without looking back.
Losing his composure, he forgot to struggle. The next moment, he was bitten by the black dragon, and even his primordial spirit could not escape.
As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, and having been constantly monitoring the every move of all cultivators within the secret realm, Xiao Han naturally saw this scene clearly.
Seeing this, she could only chuckle.
The basest aspects of human nature are fully revealed in life-or-death situations!
