Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 294 - 292: Xiao Ling Awakens, a Hidden Secret Realm Within the Broken Soul Forbidden Land! Jiang Qingge Who Puzzles Saintess Xihua
At this moment, Saintess Xihua was somewhat puzzled. Did she just have blurred vision? Or what happened?
On the street, feeling as if someone was always watching her, Jiang Qingge was slightly curious and turned her head among several guards to take a look.
She found a woman in white with a masked face standing by the street; although her appearance was indistinct, her figure was exceptional.
Jiang Qingge smiled at the masked woman in white and then entered a shop.
Saintess Xihua, curious, moved slightly closer to that shop.
She faintly heard someone calling out... Miss Qingge.
"Jiang Qingge? This Saintess remembers there is an Innate Clan in this small city, seemingly with the surname Jiang. Could she be the young lady from that Innate Clan?"
Saintess Xihua showed a trace of interest on her expression.
...
At the same time, in a small town.
After Wang Xingluo finished recovering his expended Innate True Qi in the small town, he continued on his way.
Behind him, Lu Ye was leisurely following at a distance.
Several hours passed, and as they got closer to the Broken Soul Forbidden Land, Wang Xingluo became increasingly cautious, frequently checking his surroundings.
Unfortunately, his strength was too weak.
Even though Lu Ye was merely a hundred meters behind him, he couldn’t detect it at all.
In less than half an incense stick’s time, finally, the outskirts of the Broken Soul Forbidden Land came into view.
Suddenly stopping at the edge of the Forbidden Land, Wang Xingluo seemed somewhat hesitant.
But recalling one of the mystical Heaven and Earth objects from the rumors, Wang Xingluo’s eyes turned determined, and he instantly dashed into the Forbidden Land.
A hundred meters behind, Lu Ye gracefully followed.
"Three-leaved willow trees, three willow trees... once I, the City Lord, have it, Meng Lei... after causing me so much trouble, you can just wait to die!"
Muttering this key information, after entering the Forbidden Land, Wang Xingluo’s gaze searched around for this landmark.
Unfortunately, Wang Xingluo’s luck wasn’t too good; he had just crossed the outer perimeter and entered the middle region when he encountered an Innate Realm fierce beast.
After contemplating whether or not he could take down Wang Xingluo, the Innate fierce beast decided to strike directly.
Immediately, a small battle erupted in the middle area.
After a considerable effort, Wang Xingluo finally drove the fierce beast away, his face slightly changing as he cursed under his breath.
"Damn beast!"
Repelling it cost him nearly twenty percent of his power, and he was no longer in peak condition.
Subsequently, whether it was due to ill luck or not, Wang Xingluo kept encountering Innate fierce beasts on his path.
He didn’t dare kill them, to avoid provoking a strong scent of blood and attracting more beasts to attack.
When repelling the third beast attack, Wang Xingluo’s face had already turned noticeably pale.
Moreover, when he encountered the last Innate fierce beast, his left arm was injured.
Though he immediately sealed the wound with Innate True Qi, his aura was already waning.
Helplessly, Wang Xingluo glanced at the perilous Forbidden Land, which had already claimed many Innate cultivators, and had no choice but to retreat and leave.
The Broken Soul Forbidden Land... with his strength, he indeed couldn’t delve any further.
As he watched Wang Xingluo withdraw, Lu Ye did not follow him but seemed deep in thought.
He attentively observed Wang Xingluo’s every move, even from a hundred meters away, under the top-tier heightened senses of a Grandmaster Ninth Layer’s late stage.
Those softly murmured words did not escape Lu Ye’s ears.
"Three-leaved willow trees?"
Is this the topographical feature of the Secret Realm’s location?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye began searching for this distinctive location in the Broken Soul Forbidden Land.
There were quite a few places in the Forbidden Land where three willow trees grew together.
He spent several hours searching over a dozen places, but Lu Ye didn’t detect anything unusual.
Just then.
From within the Myriad Dao Pavilion, which had been silent, a faint movement suddenly emerged.
Feeling this faint movement, Lu Ye was initially taken aback, then showed a hint of delight.
"Xiao Ling has woken up?"
Since Xiao Ling said he would go to sleep, he had been in a long period of slumber, but now he finally woke up.
Sensing Xiao Ling’s intention to come out, Lu Ye immediately let the little one out.
As soon as it came out, Xiao Ling pounced onto Lu Ye, snuggling affectionately.
"Chirp!"
On the surface, Xiao Ling looked the same as before, but Lu Ye could clearly detect.
Xiao Ling’s aura... seemed even more tempting.
Which means, its grade has definitely risen.
"Quickly retract that medicinal scent from you, do you want to attract those covetous fierce beasts? If you don’t restrain it, even I want to take a bite out of you."
Lu Ye said with a smile.
Hearing his master’s words, which sounded like a demon, Xiao Ling’s little body trembled and quickly retracted all its aura.
Recalling Xiao Ling’s ability to find treasures, Lu Ye’s mind stirred.
"Xiao Ling, I want to find a Secret Realm entrance; see if you can help me find it."
"Chirp, chirp!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling immediately patted itself humanely, as if to say leave it to me.
To avoid missing anything, Lu Ye took Xiao Ling along to revisit the area around the three willow trees, where he had previously found nothing suspicious.
Soon enough, after examining the area, Xiao Ling indicated there was nothing unusual.
One incense stick, two incense sticks of time...
As time ticked by, the human and the spirit traversed through the Forbidden Land.
When Lu Ye took Xiao Ling to a region near the Forbidden Land’s depths with three closely situated willow trees again, Xiao Ling’s spirited eyes suddenly lit up!
"Chirp, chirp!" There is something here!
After forming a contract with Xiao Ling, Lu Ye could roughly understand Xiao Ling’s meaning.
Seeing Xiao Ling suddenly becoming excited, Lu Ye’s heart was stirred. Is this... a discovery?!
Quickly landing in this area, Lu Ye watched Xiao Ling’s actions silently, as the little one looked around here and there.
Then, it quickly locked onto a small area.
"Chirp, chirp." Xiao Ling searches for the entrance; owner, please don’t worry.
Turning its head, it chirped urgently at Lu Ye twice. Xiao Ling then focused all its attention on finding the way.
Standing in this area, Lu Ye also used his Array Dao to carefully sense around...
In the end, he couldn’t detect anything at all.
Shaking his head, he knew his Array Dao was relatively weak.
This Secret Realm within the Broken Soul Forbidden Land had no prior reports.
Its concealment is definitely outstanding; it hasn’t been discovered for so many years.
After five or six minutes, Xiao Ling, who had been circling in the same spot, finally found the entrance.
Waving to Lu Ye, it signaled him to follow.
Then, following Xiao Ling, they turned left thrice, right thrice, and then, at a specific distance, took a complicated sequence of over a hundred steps...
The scenery in front suddenly began to change, no longer the eerie darkness of the Broken Soul Forbidden Land.
A flicker of amazement appeared in Lu Ye’s eyes as he looked up into the distance...
This was an enormous Secret Realm space.
In the far distance, there seemed to be a massive pale yellow peak, piercing the sky.
The Heaven and Earth Source Qi within the entire Secret Realm was extremely dense, even more so than the Broken Soul Forbidden Land.
