My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 473 - 183: [Second Update]

"I don’t know either," Jun Wu shook his head, frowning, "I just suddenly heard a voice in my head, and it’s been urging me."

Jun Wu also found it quite mysterious. Without even considering what lies to the south, what was the deal with the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind? Normally, only those with high cultivation can achieve such a feat, and in the Immortal Realm, only a few Immortal Venerables could do this. But here, they were inside the Secret Realm, which limits cultivation, and within this limit, Jun Wu’s cultivation was relatively high. Who could achieve this?

"So what should we do now? Should we head south as the voice suggests?" Nan Hua pointed his fan to the south of their location and asked.

Jun Wu didn’t speak immediately but pondered for a moment, "The voice has already disappeared. Since it urged me to go south, I shall go and see."

A dark glint flashed in Si Lin’s eyes. His intuition told him that the voice’s owner bore no malice towards her, and if they went in that direction, he might gain something unexpected. His intuition had always been accurate!

"Are we really going?" Nan Hua hesitated, "What if something goes wrong there?"

"Even if there’s an issue, the highest cultivation here, both human and spirit beast, is no more than Golden Immortal Peak. Do you think the two of us can’t handle it?" Jun Wu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Of course not," Nan Hua rebutted without thinking, "Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, let’s go south and see what draws you there."

"Mm." Jun Wu nodded, pursing his lips.

They originally intended to continue in their previous direction, but since someone in Jun Wu’s mind was guiding them, they followed the voice and headed south.

About an hour passed, and they encountered nothing—not even Fresh Flowers and Immortal Herbs or spirit beasts.

"How much longer do we need to walk?" Nan Hua shook his fan, glanced around, and asked Jun Wu.

Jun Wu shook his head, about to say he didn’t know, when a voice once again sounded in his mind. This time, it still urged Jun Wu to move south, but it included a time limit.

"The voice told me to walk south for another quarter of an hour," Jun Wu frowned, relaying the message to Nan Hua.

Upon hearing this, Nan Hua’s eyes lit up, and he nodded.

Following the voice’s instruction, they continued south for another quarter of an hour.

Before them lay an open space, empty and barren. Jun Wu and Nan Hua exchanged glances, both unable to suppress their frowns.

"There’s nothing here. What does the voice want us to do?" Nan Hua asked, frustrated.

"I don’t know." Jun Wu frowned, not looking pleased.

He surveyed the surroundings, attempting to detect anything amiss. After looking for some time, he found nothing out of place. Just as he was about to suggest leaving to Nan Hua, he felt a heat in his body. Suddenly, a force of attraction overwhelmed him, his body losing all control as he was sucked into a hole and disappeared.

"Jun Wu!" Seeing Jun Wu swallowed by the black hole, Nan Hua immediately reached out to pull him back, but it was futile. He grasped nothing, and Jun Wu’s figure vanished.

He stared at the spot where Jun Wu once stood, dumbfounded and slightly worried.

"What’s going on? How did he just disappear?" He stomped his foot, his expression full of frustration.

Just as he was circling around in indecision, another black hole suddenly appeared behind him. Before he could react, the black hole swiftly swallowed him up as well.

...

After encountering Si Lin, Gu Qingqing’s group had grown larger and continued exploring the forest while searching for news of Nan Hua and Jun Wu. They also encountered disciples from other sects along the way. Gu Qingqing’s group did not conceal themselves this time, and when the disciples realized Gu Qingqing’s group wasn’t going to include them, they left one after another, including disciples from the Langya Immortal Sect and the Star Sect.

Initially, upon meeting Gu Qingqing and the others, the people from the two sects were very pleased and greeted them warmly. However, when they mentioned wanting to travel with Gu Qingqing’s group, they were declined by Gu Qingqing.

The leader was displeased, but dared not upset Gu Qingqing’s group; he suppressed his anger and left.

"Geng Geng, why aren’t we joining those people? Isn’t it safer with more people?" Su Xi couldn’t help but ask Gu Qingqing nearby. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"More people is safer, but it depends on where we are. This is the Secret Realm, and everyone is here searching for treasures. If we brought them along, what happens if we find good stuff? Share equally? That’s unlikely, so we’d better be selfish and go by ourselves." Before Gu Qingqing could respond, Rong Ye explained for her.

Su Xi paused, looking at Gu Qingqing, who nodded, evidently sharing Rong Ye’s view. Su Xi thought for a moment before nodding in understanding.

After walking for about half an hour, Gu Qingqing suddenly frowned and stopped.

"Geng Geng, what’s wrong?" Su Xi, walking alongside Gu Qingqing, couldn’t help showing concern at her expression.

Hearing Su Xi, the others gathered around, worriedly gazing at Gu Qingqing.

"I’m fine." Gu Qingqing waved her hand, a slight smile tugging at her lips. "I just suddenly felt something calling my name."

"What?" Rong Ye was startled, "How could something be calling you?"

This was indeed the Secret Realm, but different from others they had encountered. Some special inheritances required tests to obtain, and this Secret Realm had a long history, with countless people having entered. If there really was something to inherit, it would have been discovered long ago.

But if not, what could possibly attract Gu Qingqing?

"I don’t know, I just suddenly had a strong feeling from the north that something was calling me to hurry over there," Gu Qingqing explained to Rong Ye, frowning.

She was also puzzled. Earlier at the Qilin Tree, she thought she had seen everything as instructed by the Secret Realm’s owner, mainly due to her bloodline.

Yet, in this Secret Realm, it shouldn’t be the case, and that sensation grew stronger with time.

Eventually, her head felt like it was about to explode, her expression visibly uncomfortable.

"Since it’s to the north, let’s go that way and see," Si Lin suggested, seeing Gu Qingqing’s furrowed brow.
