"But he was still not satisfied, and then Old Man Bai shifted his gaze towards a group of Loose Cultivators, saying, 'If you want to enter the Secret Realm, it's not impossible!'" "But when you come out, you must hand over seventy percent of your harvest!" The Loose Cultivators had varying expressions, some frowning, some harboring ulterior thoughts, only to hear Old Man Bai continue, "Don't think you can hide Spiritual Objects and we won't be able to find them." They had ways to check. Li Zhirui didn't immediately step forward, but waited a while, after several cultivators agreed, he also spoke up, "I'll go!" Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire Even though the Secret Realm was of a high grade and likely contained greater dangers, as well as stronger Golden Core cultivators and third-order Devil Beasts, and they had to turn over seventy percent of the harvest to the Profound Ice Sect, a large number of Loose Cultivators were willing to take the risk. If they could come out alive with some gains, it would undoubtedly be of considerable help to their paths. In the end, out of several thousand Loose Cultivators, nearly half were willing to enter the Secret Realm! "Don't be too excessive!" Zi Jing said with an unsightly expression. On the side of the Devil Race, only third-order Devil Beasts could be sent in. Though powerful, their numbers were very few. On the side of the cultivators, the high-end combat strength was not much different from that of the Devil Race, plus there was a large supplement of lower-level cultivators, which was very disadvantageous for them. Therefore, no matter what, Zi Jing would not agree to Great Void Tao letting so many cultivators in, even though he had just lost a battle. "Late and mid Foundation Establishment stay behind, the rest can leave," Old Man Bai also knew not to cross the other party's line, so he eliminated the cultivators step by step, eventually only leaving more than sixty late-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, including Li Zhirui. "Just you lot, go on in." From the battle between the two Nascent Souls to now, only a short quarter of an hour had passed. As for the opening of the Secret Realm's gateway, it had only been half a quarter of an hour. Li Zhirui followed the main force into the Secret Realm, without any strange phenomena occurring, only feeling a moment of darkness before his eyes, but it soon brightened up. When Li Zhirui opened his eyes, he saw that he was now in a dark and dense forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees, and could hear the calls of various animals, indicating that it was full of life. The moment his consciousness regathered, Li Zhirui immediately brought out the Water Cloud Pearl, cautiously on guard, extending his Divine Sense bit by bit outward. Boom! Suddenly, an explosion sounded off to the left front of Li Zhirui, and the air filled with a faint oppressive force. He realized this was a good opportunity to leave the forest and immediately quickened his pace towards it. About half an hour later, he finally left the woods and arrived at a desolate plain. "Damn it! Why are they running towards me?" Before Li Zhirui could enjoy his relief for long, he heard a very close roar of anger, looked up, and saw a rainbow light flying towards him. Even Gold Core cultivators had to flee for their lives, so how could Li Zhirui delay? He used his fastest speed to fly forward, hoping to shake them off. But Li Zhirui was bound to be disappointed. At first, the Gold Core cultivator had simply stumbled upon him by chance, but when he saw Li Zhirui, his eyes lit up and he sped up his pace. In the face of danger, sometimes it's not necessary to run fast—as long as someone is behind you, that's enough. And that was exactly what he was counting on! As long as Li Zhirui could delay for a moment, he would be able to escape successfully and lose the Devil Beast chasing him. "If you manage to leave the Secret Realm alive, I shall reward you handsomely!" The Gold Core cultivator shouted this as he flew overhead, then accelerated away. Li Zhirui's expression turned extremely ugly as he felt the danger drawing closer behind him. He activated a Smoke Talisman, used the thick smoke to obscure vision, and dashed into space. Roar! The third-tier Devil Beast found it odd but didn't pay it much mind, continuing to chase the Gold Core cultivator. "Could it be that the Foundation Establishment got squashed to death just like that?" The Gold Core cultivator pondered, confused by the relentless pursuit of the Devil Beast behind him. But now was not the time to think about it, ignoring the rapid depletion of mana, he flew quickly away into the distance. After hiding in the space, Li Zhirui came out again shortly after. This time, instead of fleeing outwards, he ran towards the forest. Following his memory, he arrived at the place where the battle first broke out. Not long after, Li Zhirui laid eyes on the Spiritual Objects guarded by the Devil Beast. "This is..." Li Zhirui stared at the bunch of golden glistening Lingzhi in front of him, his expression froze, and then was filled with shock and ecstasy.
