Chapter 597 A Different Kind of Secret Realm

The time to head to the Secret Realm arrived.

The Disciples of the Star Sea Sect were quite excited now, as this time in the Secret Realm, they could engage in combat with people from the Demonic Path.

They wanted to see what kind of skills the other side possessed.

The Sect had already arranged many giant spirit vessels and the like; of course, Elders with higher cultivation levels generally would not take these giant spirit vessels over there.

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing, who was sitting to the side, "Let us set off as well."

The two arrived at the Sect plaza, where basically all the qualified Disciples had already arrived.

The Star Sea Sect certainly could not let all the Disciples go.

It indeed looked like there was no danger, but they could not afford the risk if an accident were to occur.

As for the assigned Disciples and such, the Sect had already made arrangements.

Su Yu and the other looked at the plaques with their names, arriving before the Disciples they were to lead into the Secret Realm.

Seeing Su Yu's arrival, these Disciples greeted him one after another, "Elder Su."

Su Yu waved his hand, "This time, feel free to do what you want to do; just let loose in the Secret Realm."

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed in the Disciples' eyes; they had originally felt this way, and now their inner thoughts were even more firm.

With Elder Su present, they had nothing to worry about.

After briefly familiarizing himself with the personnel, Su Yu prepared to lead the people out of the Sect.

At this moment, many people watched as some Elders had already set out.

Those Elders had all brought out their own Magic Treasures, which came in all sorts of forms.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing was also prepared, as she was also going to lead a group of Disciples into it.

Ling Wanqing was still more popular with the Disciples than he was.

The two exchanged a look and prepared to set off together towards the Secret Realm.

The Star Sea Sect's outpost at the Secret Realm had long been arranged, although their location was not exactly at the front.

Su Yu took out his wine gourd, "Get on, it is time for us to depart."

The Disciples looked at the giant wine gourd before them; they had long heard rumors about this wine gourd.

Many Disciples had wanted to try riding it once.

As the wine gourd cut through the sky, everyone departed from there.

Su Yu sat at the front, and as he looked to the side, Ling Wanqing's spirit sword was keeping pace.

Both of them sat cross-legged at the front, while the Disciples discussed something amongst themselves.

For these Disciples, the two were indeed the strongest Dao Protectors in the true sense.

Along the way, they saw many Elders from other factions leading Disciples to the Secret Realm ahead.

At this moment, some Disciples looked at a group of people ahead.

"Look quickly, that is Elder Qian from the Fengyun Sect; he has come too."

Such chance encounters happened quite a few times; this could be considered an appetizer.

As time passed, everyone arrived at the outpost near the Secret Realm.

The main force had not yet arrived; they were the vanguard Disciples, and the area around this Secret Realm was filled with outposts from various Sects.

Those Disciples who arrived first were all observing the situation in the surroundings.

But what they paid more attention to was the outpost of the Demonic Path Cultivators on the opposite side.

The people on that side were the same; they looked toward their side with unkind gazes, and sparks flashed in the eyes of the Disciples on both sides.

There was still one hour until the Secret Realm opened, and both sides held their own thoughts.

Before long, most of the people from the Sects had basically all arrived.

Those people from the Holy Land were all at the very front, and the situation on the opposite side was basically the same as theirs.

The Sect Master at the Star Sea Sect outpost also began to explain some things.

"We do not need to fight right from the start; prioritizing the search for resources comes first. If we encounter Demonic Path Cultivators later, then we will let them witness our prowess."

Within each Sect, they were all telling their own Disciples about things to pay attention to.

However, the philosophy of some Demonic Path Sects was different; they advocated for slaughter.

If they encountered the other side, they would resolve them first.

This Secret Realm could only be entered once; even if they could not eliminate them, it would mean one less person to compete for resources.

This viewpoint was equally applicable on their side; the Disciples of the Holy Land basically all entered with this purpose in mind.

Compared to the resources inside, they wanted even more to have a contest with the other side.

As the Secret Realm fully opened, many Sects entered it at the first opportunity.

Su Yu and his group were not in any hurry.

It did not matter if they let them enter first; this moment was the most chaotic, but they could not be too late either.

And after only waiting for a moment, they saw some people coming out.

Those who came out all had some injuries on them to varying degrees.

This was simply losing to the other side without even having time to explore after entering.

The eyes of those who came out were filled with unwillingness.

The two sides had long anticipated this situation occurring.

Su Yu looked at the Disciples behind him; fortunately, they were not affected by this matter.

The people of the Star Sea Sect also began to enter one after another.

Su Yu looked ahead; it was about time for them to go in as well.

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing beside him, "Let us go."

The two led the Disciples and flew into the Secret Realm.

Once they entered the Secret Realm, everyone looked up and cast their gaze around; the sky of this Secret Realm was different from the outside world, not the usual azure or firmament color.

Instead, it was a dense expanse of dark purple-gold patterns, like a firmament sealed by an ancient almighty with heaven-reaching means.

The clouds carried a faint jade hue, and even the wind permeated with a sense of stagnant heaviness.

The distant mountains were not a dark green, but exposed ink-jade rock, the peaks hideous and steep, with some peaks partially thrust into the sea of clouds.

The tops were covered with ice crystals that had not melted for ten thousand years; beneath the ice crystals, one could faintly see the remains of ancient trees, and even though they were withered, ancient vines emitting spiritual light were still wrapped around the branches.

The Disciples were very shocked to see such a scene; it was the first time they had ever seen such a Secret Realm.

Su Yu spoke up, "Do not just stand there in a daze; pay attention to your surroundings."

At this moment, they felt many fluctuations of battle and such; they could even sense Void Refining Elders fighting.

Everyone braced themselves, as they understood that the battles ahead were likely unavoidable.

The timing of their entry was not bad.

The Elders of the Demonic Path Cultivators who entered in the same batch did not have too many thoughts, so they did not have to fight the moment they came in.

Otherwise, they might end up not even being able to secure any good items.

"Let us leave here first; there will certainly be trouble here later, and there might be people camping at the entrance."

After speaking, everyone headed into the Secret Realm, preparing to search for some things.

Su Yu had long known all the circumstances within this Secret Realm; this Secret Realm did not have any other dangers, and one could say it was a welfare Secret Realm.

However, some places did restrict them, preventing them from entering.

For him now, there was nothing that he could make use of.

For the people of the Spirit Domain, it was different; there were still many rare treasures inside.

However, there was one thing that Su Yu was still somewhat interested in; do not forget that this was a Secret Realm born from the will of the Heavenly Dao.

And there was one place within this Secret Realm that Su Yu wanted to go and take a look at.
