Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 454 - 6: You Stole My Man (Part 6)

Li Shuning was tasked by the Sect Leader to enter the Secret Realm, intending for her to bring a few people for mutual support and safety. However, Li Shuning felt that going alone would be more convenient.

The Sect Leader and his wife were accustomed to listening to their daughter, and upon reflecting that those less powerful might end up being a burden, they allowed Li Shuning to venture into the Secret Realm alone.

When Li Shuning arrived, there were already many people gathered at the entrance to the Secret Realm.

Most were led by Divinity Transformation Cultivators, bringing along a number of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

According to some Sects’ investigations, the Secret Realm could at most accommodate Divinity Transformation Cultivators. Any cultivators beyond that might risk causing the Secret Realm to collapse.

Li Shuning stood aside and soon noticed the couple Yu Yuan and his wife among the crowd.

Both of them had reached the Peak Period of Nascent Soul stage. As a strong couple, they naturally attracted a group around them.

Li Shuning did not approach them, but unexpectedly, Yu Yuan brought Su Ying over to her.

"Senior Sister Shuning, I didn’t expect you to lead this time. Where are our Sect’s people?" Yu Yuan greeted warmly.

Su Ying looked curiously at Li Shuning.

Previously, Li Shuning was at the Third Layer of the Divinity Transformation Stage; she might now be at the Fourth or Fifth Layer?

Li Shuning replied calmly, "Junior Brother Yu, this time, I’m here to investigate alone."

Yu Yuan smiled, "Senior Sister, why not join us? We’ve arranged to meet with others and have two Divinity Transformation Cultivators in our group. It’s safer together."

Su Ying, standing beside Yu Yuan, furrowed her brows, showing a trace of wariness and envy in her eyes.

Li Shuning noticed and suddenly smiled.

Just that smile left Yu Yuan captivated.

"No need, I wouldn’t want to impose on such a fine couple." Li Shuning politely declined. Jokingly, she herself was a Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the highest caliber; joining their team would only make them her burden.

No matter what Yu Yuan said afterward, Li Shuning remained silent, only offering a slight smile.

Eventually, finding it futile, Yu Yuan left with Su Ying.

Su Ying’s expression was extremely unpleasant.

All along, she had thought that she and Yu Yuan shared a strong bond.

However, Yu Yuan seemed to attract women effortlessly. During past excursions, he frequently encountered various fellow sisters.

Ignoring it, Su Ying believed her husband needed to maintain good relations with fellow disciples and didn’t overthink it.

Perhaps she genuinely looked down on their abilities.

But moments ago, she clearly saw infatuation in her husband’s eyes. This woman was much stronger than her, and Su Ying felt a deep sense of crisis. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Su Ying became very vigilant.

Occasionally, she cast unfriendly glances toward Li Shuning.

Li Shuning paid no mind.

The Secret Realm had appeared for some time, and the number of gathered people kept increasing.

Yet, the Secret Realm remained unopened.

The discovery of this Secret Realm was by chance; it was once a vast expanse, until one day, shrouded in thick fog. Some even tried to reach inside, only for their hand to vanish.

Higher Cultivators who attempted exploration nearly caused the Secret Realm to collapse.

This is why no cultivators beyond Divinity Transformation were present.

No one dared force entry into the Secret Realm, thinking it was just a matter of time before it opened, given the anomalies. Eventually, it would open.

Until the full moon night, the fog covering the Secret Realm suddenly cleared, revealing a swirling sphere.

The surrounding fog continuously gathered toward this sphere. When the fog entirely merged into it, Li Shuning swiftly moved, being the first to charge into the sphere.

In the storyline, this swirling sphere was the Secret Realm’s mystical portal.

The cultivators, astonished at first, seeing Li Shuning move, quickly rushed in her wake.

However, with many people, they interfered with one another, preventing some from entering immediately.

Yu Yuan and his wife, for instance, entered the Secret Realm significantly later than Li Shuning.

People continued entering the Secret Realm, but suddenly, after one cultivator entered, the sphere vanished.

The area returned to its empty state, with no trace of fog, as if the Secret Realm never existed.

Those not yet inside the Secret Realm were filled with regret, lamenting their missed chance as the entrance closed.

Many lamented, wishing they had forced their way in sooner.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Li Shuning headed straight toward its center.

Being familiar with scenes from the storyline, Li Shuning had already pieced together the plot and had insights into the Secret Realm.

She knew where Su Ying had gained her opportunity.

Su Ying’s system was too domineering, directly devouring the Secret Realm’s pillar, causing its collapse. Naturally, the system greatly benefited. A Secret Realm is a small world; when it collapses, those inside cannot survive due to spatial instability.

Su Ying’s system provided a special Teleportation Talisman, allowing escape even from other small worlds, teleporting her to safety before the collapse.

However, it resulted in the death of everyone inside the Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm was left behind by a powerful ascended to the Immortal Realm and was capable of recognizing an owner.

Once recognized, it functioned like a storage space, albeit a high-grade one, allowing storage of living beings and accompanying people inside.

Moreover, entry into this Secret Realm required only a thought from the owner.

Faced with a formidable enemy, it was an ideal place to hide.

The storyline’s Cultivation System recklessly consumed the Secret Realm’s pillar, wasting a valuable treasure.

Li Shuning unleashed all her spiritual power, avoiding numerous Demon Beasts and traps bred by the Secret Realm, making a beeline for the core area.

Before long, she discovered a cave dwelling.

Before the cave was a High Rank Demon Beast standing guard.

This Demon Beast had a cultivation level equivalent to a human at the Peak Period of the Divinity Transformation Stage, combined with its strong physical prowess. Typically, even Divinity Transformation Cultivators couldn’t subdue or defeat it.

In the storyline, Su Ying used a clever tactic where her system identified this Demon Beast as a Fire Element Beast at the Peak Period of Divinity Transformation. Upon consuming a similar inner core, it had a strong chance to breakthrough.

Demon Beasts at this level already gained intelligence. Upon Su Ying’s arrival, she negotiated with it.

The Demon Beast stated that providing a similar Demon Beast Core would enable it to breakthrough and leave this small world.

Freedom was something it yearned for greatly.
