Chapter 19: Yin and Yang Secret Realm

Just as Su Yu returned to his doorstep, he saw a few people standing there.

"Brother Su, you finally arrived. We heard that a small Secret Realm has been discovered near the Celestial Maiden Sect. Brother Su, would you like to go with us?"

"Since we are all in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it will be convenient for us to move together."

These people were friends Su Yu had met while playing chess; they often spent time playing chess and drinking together when they were free.

Over the past ten years, he had performed tasks with them. They often came to ask Su Yu to join them on missions, but he only went occasionally; after all, constantly refusing wouldn't fit his identity as a Passerby.

After Su Yu learned about the situation from them, he decided to go to the Secret Realm.

According to them, this Secret Realm contained many treasures useful for the Foundation Establishment Stage. Previously, items useful for the Golden Core Stage had appeared, but those were basically gone now.

Because this Secret Realm was now mostly explored by Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples, and most of them were in the early or Middle Stages.

This was because the resources currently inside the Secret Realm were somewhat lackluster for those in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Occasionally, Disciples in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment would go inside to search for resources useful for the Golden Core Stage, but they almost always gave up after finding nothing.

Consequently, Disciples in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment rarely went to the Secret Realm anymore. It was mostly early and Middle Stage Disciples from various Sects or some Loose Cultivators who went.

As for dangers? For the current Su Yu, there were very few things that could threaten him. Given his current proficiency with his Cultivation Technique, he could basically instant-kill anyone at the same level.

Given Su Yu's current situation, going to the Secret Realm was just for fun, but occasionally going out to have some fun wasn't bad either, so Su Yu agreed to join them this time.

Including Su Yu, there were exactly six people on this trip to the Secret Realm. The highest cultivation level among them was the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, excluding Su Yu, of course. With such a group, basically no one would dare to provoke them in the Secret Realm.

Without further ado, the group immediately set off for the Secret Realm.

Led by Wang Yang, Su Yu and his group arrived near the Secret Realm close to the Celestial Maiden Sect. They were in no rush to enter, deciding to gather some information first.

Arriving at a Restaurant near the Secret Realm, Su Yu's group found a place to sit. From the moment they entered the tavern, they heard everyone inside discussing the Secret Realm.

This Secret Realm would remain open for one month, and it had already been open for ten days.

There were quite a few people in the Restaurant who had just come out of the Secret Realm; they looked rather disheveled, but most were people preparing to go in.

Just then, someone about to enter said: "I didn't expect a Senior at the early stage of the Golden Core Stage to enter this time. Someone from the Wei Family of the Divine Wind Dynasty actually came here!"

"The Wei Family has a Core Disciple inside, and that Senior at the early stage of the Golden Core Stage is the Guardian who accompanied him."

"It is said that the main reason the Wei Family came to this Secret Realm is to pursue a Disciple of the Celestial Maiden Sect. That Disciple is a Personal Disciple of one of the Celestial Maiden Sect's Peak Masters, so her status is quite high."

"Fortunately, that Wei Family Disciple is not interested in the items inside the Secret Realm and will not be seizing resources."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and Wang Yang did the same.

Wang Yang, at the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, had the highest cultivation in Su Yu's group. There were five others: one at the fourth layer, one at the third layer, and the rest were at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Because they were near the Celestial Maiden Sect, Su Yu and his group also heard some rumors circulating about the Sect in the Restaurant.

It was said that Disciples of the Celestial Maiden Sect had been going missing frequently, causing panic among the Disciples. It was unclear if it was true, but it was rumored that an Elder at the Golden Core Stage had already been sent to investigate.

Wang Yang discussed this with Su Yu and the others, as there was a Golden Core Stage variable involved.

However, everyone still planned to go. If the Wei Family Disciple had come to search for resources, they might have considered turning back, but fortunately, the other party didn't have that intention for now.

Su Yu basically went with the flow; he would enter when Wang Yang's group entered. After all, to him, a Golden Core Stage cultivator posed no threat at all.

Subsequently, the group stepped into the Secret Realm. Looking around, Su Yu saw that most of the buildings were dilapidated, which was basically caused by those who came to the Secret Realm to search for resources.

However, this Secret Realm was somewhat peculiar; it was half night and half day. Seeing the scene with the sun on one side and the moon on the other, Su Yu felt that it might not be that simple.

Wang Yang spoke up: "This Secret Realm is quite unique; it has both Yin and Yang sides, and different Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines with different habits are distributed on both sides."

"Let's not split up and instead move together so we can look out for each other. We can just split the resources evenly when we leave."

Fine, everyone had no objections.

Su Yu's group arrived at the Yin side first to search for resources. Along the way, Su Yu saw many low-grade Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, which emitted a faint glow in the night.

Swaying with the gentle breeze, they presented a unique scenery that gave Su Yu a feeling of being healed.

There was no real need for Su Yu and his group to pick these low-grade Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines; they were too lackluster for people in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As the group ventured deeper, Su Yu quickly used his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings and discovered a Spirit Medicine growing on top of a tree.

Su Yu was slightly surprised that it was a Night Spirit Flower. Judging by its appearance, it should have a hundred years of spiritual age; this was of great use even for those in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, the Night Spirit Flower was also one of the rare medicinal ingredients for refining Medicinal Pills.

The Night Spirit Flower liked to grow on the tops of trees, thriving by absorbing the essence of the moon.

Wang Yang also noticed the Night Spirit Flower and said happily: "Everyone, look! There is a Night Spirit Flower on top of that tree. This is good stuff!"

When the others saw it, joy appeared on their faces as well.

However, Su Yu also noticed a snake demon near the Night Spirit Flower. It looked like its target was also the Night Spirit Flower, but it seemed this snake demon was going to meet its end here.

The snake demon's cultivation was only equivalent to the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If it were just one person, they might not be a match for it, but it was just unlucky to run into Su Yu's group.

One of the team members suddenly spoke up: "There is a snake demon nearby. It seems to have discovered us, and its cultivation is not low."

Seeing this, Wang Yang said: "This snake demon has the same cultivation level as me. Don't worry, everyone; we can deal with it together."

Then, Wang Yang took the lead and struck at the snake demon's hiding place with a Nebula Palm, but the snake demon dodged it.

Seeing this, the snake demon immediately leaped towards Wang Yang. Just as the snake demon was about to reach Wang Yang's side, it suddenly changed its target.

It attacked the few people in the second layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, including Su Yu. Everyone's heart tightened, and Wang Yang shouted loudly: "Be careful!"

Looking at the attacking snake demon, Su Yu thought it had a bit of cleverness, knowing to take out the weak ones first. But sorry, it picked the wrong person. Su Yu pretended to react just in time.

He picked up his long sword to block the snake demon's attack. But just as the others reacted and prepared to help, Su Yu pretended to be unable to withstand the snake demon and flew backward.

Seeing this, the others quickly asked if Su Yu was alright.

Su Yu slowly stood up, brushed himself off, and said slowly: "I'm fine. Let's deal with the snake demon first."
