Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 246 - 189: Soulless Incarnation Takes the Stage

Above the Liang Continent.

Hundreds of Escape Lights surged through, like multicolored rainbows, whistling across the sky.

The Foundation Establishment masters from various families and sects gathered together, mostly displaying excitement and anticipation, while flying with the main group and communicating through Divine Thought:

"I heard that the Five Elements Secret Realm is filled with treasures!"

"That's right. The Five Elements Wanderer of the past was the Da Li Overlord, the Uncrowned King of the Southwest. Who knows how many rare treasures he accumulated."

"The five Golden Core Sects of those days explored for decades and still couldn't fully explore it. This time, we're really in for a big advantage."

"It's also because we contributed back then. Fortunately, the Golden Core Ancestors didn't turn their backs on us, otherwise our hundred years of effort would have been in vain..."

"I've just been promoted to Foundation Establishment a few years ago, and I don't have any handy protective treasures on hand. I hope to find some in the Secret Realm this time."

"We're slightly weaker, so we need to be cautious in the Secret Realm, reach for easily obtainable treasures first, and temporarily abandon those that are too difficult, then regroup."

"Indeed, I heard that previous exploration teams of the Golden Core Influences suffered heavy losses, mostly because they were sabotaging each other. We must act carefully too..."

Amidst various discussions, speculations, and expectations, there were also plenty of discussions about tactical arrangements and action strategies.

This month:

The Lingyang Sect, Shanhe sect, and Dugu Family have already recorded the basic situation and common rules of the Five Elements Secret Realm into a Jade Scroll, distributing it to various factions as a basic reference.

Inside the Five Elements Secret Realm, it's divided into mini worlds, and once outsiders enter, they will be separated and randomly teleported to a mini world.

Traversing between mini worlds also follows the principle of the Five Elements, corresponding to different elemental attributes in the East, West, South, North, and directly above the sky.

In response to such complex traversal rules, different factions have formulated various coping strategies. But overall, they remain optimistic, treating this opening of the Five Elements Secret Realm as a grand feast and a destiny-driven opportunity.

At the forefront of the flying escape lights:

The atmosphere among the Lingyang Sect, Shanhe sect, and Dugu Family was starkly different, quite solemn.

With sect leaders and Grand Elders at the core, numerous Foundation Establishment masters listened solemnly to the final task assignments and action strategy explanations.

Their goal is to quickly reach the core area, rather than scavenge treasures throughout the mini worlds along the way, so the strategy is to move as swiftly as possible and choose the right element to quickly break through and assemble personnel.

In this respect, the three families harmoniously chose different elemental routes to avoid collision and unnecessary losses.

"...after the ancestor's decision, the elements we've chosen are 'Fire' and 'Metal'!"

The Lingyang Sect leader, using Divine Thought to envelop the sect's masters, was explaining the action plan:

"Once you enter the Secret Realm, don't bother with potential treasures. Immediately select the direction associated with the element of Fire according to the Five Elements principle."

"The most optimistic estimate is that we need just half a month to gather most of the people. However, considering the various possible incidents in between..."

Numerous Lingyang Sect Foundation Establishment masters were seriously listening to his explanation.

Surrounding the core are five most special mini worlds, known as 'Affiliated Mini Worlds', each corresponding to one of the Five Elements.

Theoretically, every cross-world teleportation has a chance to transport to the Affiliated Mini World, and even upon entering the Secret Realm, one might directly reach the destination.

However, this possibility is extremely rare, as the Lingyang Sect has explored for decades without encountering it once.

Based on their past experience, continuous teleportation increases the probability of arriving at the Affiliated Mini World, and they can gradually gather people during the intermediate teleports.

"...If there are no objections, let's settle it this way."

The Lingyang Sect leader finally said via Divine Thought:

"As for the Realm Breaker issue, since no side is willing to compromise, it will depend on luck."

"Whichever faction has good luck might locate the Realm Breaker first and gain some early advantage."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became subtle.

The Lingyang Sect, Shanhe sect, and Dugu Family each chose routes involving two different elements, meaning they might all encounter the Realm Breaker.

Given the luck-filled nature of the teleportation mechanism within the Five Elements Secret Realm, this journey has become quite elusive.

Which faction will be the last to laugh?

......

Half an hour later.

"Rumble..."

The mighty escape lights stopped atop Prison Gate Mountain.

"So the entrance to the Five Elements Secret Realm is here?"

"Yeah, it's truly unexpected..."

"No wonder it couldn't be found all along, it's hidden within the volcano!"

"Indeed, it seems only hidden deep within molten lava could it remain concealed for two thousand years without revealing its true form."

While the numerous Foundation Establishment masters were discussing, the three Golden Core Ancestors signaled for everyone to step back, and simultaneously summoned their formidable magical treasures.

"Boom!"

The True Yang Ancestor's treasure was a circular ring of red-gold hue, engraved with patterns of Suzaku and Fire Phoenix, emitting faint golden flames, distorting the surrounding air and light.

"Buzz!"

The Three Mountains Ancestor's treasure was a yellow seal engraved with thousands of mountains and giant peaks, surrounded by yellow Spiritual Light, heavy as the land.
