Chapter 248: Azure Lightning Secret Realm

After arriving at the Azure Lightning Secret Realm and making some inquiries, Wu Li learned that it would take a full month for the Azure Lightning Secret Realm to open. Therefore, Wu Li took Zhang Tie and found an inn to settle down in.

It was unclear if it was because the Azure Lightning Secret Realm was about to open, but the inn's prices were a bit expensive. Wu Li did not mind, however. After paying a certain amount of Immortal Crystals, he brought Zhang Tie into a private room.

The current Zhang Tie was more like a Puppet that had developed its own consciousness; every movement he made resembled how he was when he was alive. As for his cultivation, thanks to Mo Juren's cultivation, he possessed the cultivation of an Immortal King Peak.

Consequently, he had solved a large portion of trouble for Wu Li along the way.

After entering the private room, Wu Li began to organize the current situation.

"The Azure Lightning Secret Realm is a fifth-rank Immortal Realm that allows Immortals from the Golden Immortal to Grand Unity Golden Immortal levels to enter. It also contains terrifying Yao Beasts ranging from the Golden Immortal to the Immortal King level. Therefore, with my current cultivation, if I were to enter without bringing Zhang Tie, I would surely die."

"Inside, there is the gold lightning wood I need, and in substantial quantities. If I can obtain ten thousand stalks, I can forge ten thousand Golden Thunder Flying Swords. With ten thousand Golden Thunder Flying Swords, combined with the Golden Thunder Flying Sword Array I have mastered, I would even be able to contend with an Immortal Sovereign!"

Thinking of this, Wu Li could not help but feel excited.

Coming to the Azure Lightning Secret Realm was not an aimless action. Some time ago, Wu Li had obtained a battle Formation Map from a group of people, which recorded the method for executing the Golden Thunder Flying Sword Array.

Therefore, in order to forge the Golden Thunder Flying Swords, Wu Li had come to the Azure Lightning Secret Realm.

It was unknown if it was because Wu Li had arrived at the perfect time, but the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, which opened once every ten thousand years, was only one month away from opening. As a fifth-rank Immortal Realm, Loose Cultivators could naturally enter it, which was the reason why Wu Li had come.

"I shall prepare for the next month; at the very least, I will be safer inside."

Wu Li thought to himself, and immediately began to prepare the necessary items; Formations, talismans, and Medicinal Pill, nothing was left out.

Although he had Zhang Tie, a great killing weapon at the Immortal King Peak level, Wu Li would absolutely not let Zhang Tie take action unless forced by circumstances. After all, Zhang Tie was one of his greatest trump cards.

Time passed quickly, and one month went by. Looking at the items he had prepared, Wu Li nodded with satisfaction.

"In this situation, even if I face a Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage, I have a guaranteed victory."

After putting everything away, Wu Li looked at Zhang Tie beside him, placed him into his Storage Ring, and then walked outside.

After all, Zhang Tie was a Puppet, and since a Puppet itself is something without life force, putting him into a Storage Ring was not a problem.

Very soon, Wu Li arrived in front of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm. He saw that a large crowd of Cultivators had already gathered in front of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, looking densely packed.

Wu Li took a rough look and could only see about three thousand Golden Immortals and over one hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Of course, Wu Li knew that these were all Loose Cultivators; there were still many Cultivators from other major powers who had not yet appeared at the Azure Lightning Secret Realm.

Glancing at the Space Gate of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, he saw that the Dao chains had not yet completely dissipated; it would take about two and a half hours for them to do so. Wu Li found a quiet place to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes, and rested to conserve his energy.

But not long after Wu Li sat down, he heard footsteps. The moment Wu Li opened his eyes, he saw a girl with long pink hair standing in front of him.

Seeing her, Wu Li frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak to send her away, the other party spoke.

"This Fellow Daoist, I see that you are alone. I wonder if you would be willing to team up with me?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing her words, Wu Li was stunned. He raised an eyebrow and asked, puzzled.

"Wait, no. I am just a small Golden Immortal Initial Stage, and you are a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Do you really need to team up with me?"

In Wu Li's perception, her Realm was much higher than his own; she was clearly a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Under normal circumstances, she should not have actively teamed up with a Golden Immortal Initial Stage Cultivator like him.

In this situation, Wu Li could only think of one possibility: she had ulterior motives regarding him.

Thinking of this, Wu Li intended to refuse directly, but she spoke again.

"I possess a map of the interior of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm. If you are willing to team up with me, I am willing to share this map with you."

"Hmm? Really?"

After hearing her words, Wu Li's eyes were full of shock. One must know that the Azure Lightning Secret Realm was not an ordinary Secret Realm; how could an ordinary person have a map of it?

The other party nodded firmly.

"I do indeed have a map of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm. If you are willing to accompany me, I am willing to share this map with you."

Hearing this, Wu Li immediately fell into deep thought. If the map of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm in her hands was real, it could quickly help him find the gold lightning wood.

One must know that the entire Azure Lightning Secret Realm is about half the size of the Upper Realm. If one wants to find the gold lightning wood inside, the difficulty is no less than finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the Azure Lightning Secret Realm only stays open for five years; after five years, it will expel and teleport all living beings inside out.

Even Wu Li did not have absolute certainty that he could find the location of the gold lightning wood within five years. Therefore, now that he knew there was a map of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, Wu Li was tempted.

After a long while, Wu Li finally gritted his teeth and agreed. He looked at her and said.

"In that case, we shall travel together. However, we must share what we find in turns."

"Share in turns? What does that mean?"

She looked puzzled, and Wu Li slowly explained.

"It means that if we encounter an item first, we decide who takes it first. Whoever takes the first item, the second item goes to the other person. Do you have any objections?"

Hearing this, a look of hesitation flashed across her face, but she quickly nodded and agreed. This actually surprised Wu Li, but he was even more convinced that she had ulterior motives regarding him.

And just then, she spoke.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Nangong Wan. May I ask what Fellow Daoist's name is?"

Nangong Wan looked at Wu Li with an incredibly serious expression, her eyes appearing to contain starlight capable of seeing through everything.

This gave Wu Li an illusion that everything about him seemed to be laid bare before her. But soon, Wu Li dismissed this thought. Even his Great-Grandfather probably couldn't see through him; how could she, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, see through him?

"Just call me Li Feiyu."

Wu Li had originally intended to use the name Li Feiyu to fool her, thinking that he and she were just chance acquaintances and would have no further contact after leaving the Azure Lightning Secret Realm.

However, he did not expect that in an instant, she would shake her head.

"That is not it. Li Feiyu is not Fellow Daoist's real name. Fellow Daoist should tell me your real name."
