Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 163 - 160: This Script Is All Wrong!

"Zhu Yan White Bone Observation? It seems you do know something."

Ye Muyu nodded slightly and didn’t ask Su Yuan where he got the information, and said directly:

"Then later, you can follow me. This time, we’ll explore the perimeter first; it shouldn’t be too dangerous."

"And Chen Nuoyi, if you want to come along, you might get a chance to practice."

Hearing Ye Muyu agree so straightforwardly, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

Su Yuan and the others did not wait too long. Just past 3 a.m., the rescue team members began to arrive continuously.

The two high school students sitting in the pavilion curiously observed this scene.

After some observation, Su Yuan found that the members of this rescue team were quite elite.

Apart from some administrative staff carrying cameras and laptops, the rest were all Foundation Establishment Powerhouses.

And their equipment was exceptionally well-prepared, with various combat suits, tactical goggles, military magical treasures hanging all over them.

With the support of modern cultivation technology, even though their average cultivation is only early to mid-stage Foundation Establishment, their actual combat power could probably rival the Foundation Establishment Peak ancestors of the Ancient Cultivation Realm.

During the gathering of the rescue team, Ye Muyu made a phone call, and soon after, some staff brought over two boxes.

She pointed to the boxes placed in front of the two and said:

"These are the equipment for Qi Cultivation Stage administrative staff. Make do with them."

The two opened the boxes, and inside was a full set of equipment, including a close-fitting protective suit, goggles, and a complete oxygen and spiritual energy filtration system.

Without a word, the two immediately found a dressing room, taking off their school uniforms and putting on the equipment.

When they walked out of the dressing room, they no longer looked like students.

Following closely behind Ye Muyu, they resembled two interns.

At 4:50 a.m., the 25-member rescue team formed up in front of the pavilion.

At the front of the team was a burly man standing close to two meters tall, fully equipped.

His fierce gaze and cultivation at the Golden Core Early Stage gave a great sense of oppression.

"Captain Wang, we’re ready to depart."

Ye Muyu slowly stood up from the pavilion and said calmly.

As the captain of the rescue team, the Golden Core Doctor from the Observing Heaven Pavilion was still wearing casual clothes, appearing as if on vacation, contrasting sharply with the fully armed others.

But no one had any objections to this, only casting a surprised look at the two "administrative staff" behind Ye Muyu.

"Yes!"

Vice Captain Wang responded immediately, and with an order, the rescue team officially set off.

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi followed the team into the cold cavern.

Entering the Ancient Secret Realm for the first time, the two felt somewhat excited.

According to current cultivation realm archaeological theories, the formation of the Ancient Secret Realm is likely strongly linked to the End of the Dharma Era in the Ancient Era.

At a certain time, the powerful sects across the cultivation realm used a certain space-folding divine technique to collectively evade some disaster.

They folded the space of their sect ancestral lands and some vital resource-producing areas, isolating them from the Main World.

The theory suggests that under this large-scale space folding, the current area of Blue Star is at least two-thirds smaller than during the Ancient Era!

The ancient cultivation sects possibly aimed to survive the End of the Dharma Era using such means, awaiting a new cycle of spiritual energy revival.

Yet, they waited for a full hundred thousand years, while mortal civilizations developed through several epochs.

Not until three hundred years ago did spiritual energy finally revive, and these folded spaces, catalyzed by spiritual energy, gradually revealed their portals.

However, most cultivation sects within the folded spaces had long disappeared.

But through continuous archaeological discoveries, many cultivation sects did not perish from depleting resources but seemed to collectively fall shortly after entering the folded space due to some catastrophic event.

The archaeological community has repeatedly discovered ancient cultivator remains in some secret realms, still in the act of eating, cultivating, or even dual cultivating, having perished on the spot in a bizarre manner.

No matter how this bizarre occurrence happened, they have now disappeared.

Because ancient cultivators died too quickly and abruptly in folded spaces, many secret realms have immense archaeological value.

Numerous spirit plants, spirit fruits, spirit beasts, cultivation technique manuals, and methods of alchemy and artifact refining have been transplanted from various secret realms.

However, not all ancient creatures have perished.

A small number of secret realms host living ancient creatures.

The reason they survive is not that they endured from the Ancient Era to now but because some secret realms form their own small worlds, allowing life to develop and proliferate.

The most resilient are naturally the high-life-force demon beasts and fierce beasts.

Their cultivation ranges from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, even up to the Divinity Transformation Stage, depending on the secret realm’s capacity.

They were the source of the significant threat to human civilization during the early spiritual energy revival and the source of the bloodlines for high-level demon beasts after the revival. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Secret realms where living ancient creatures appear are called "Living Secret Realms" by the archaeological community.

So, are there surviving ancient cultivators, or did they spawn secret realm human races within the secret realms?

Perhaps yes, perhaps no.

Because this is not something Su Yuan can engage with.

Returning to the present, the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm can trap a great cultivator like Taibai Phecda at the Golden Core Peak, clearly indicating numerous dangers within.

There’s a possibility it could be a Living Secret Realm.

After passing through a dark cave illuminated only by headlamps, Su Yuan followed the main group around a corner, and suddenly the view expanded.

A vast space appeared before them.

But this space isn’t inside Jinhua Mountain’s structure, but an isolated folded space existing independently from reality.

This is the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm.

Or more precisely, the ruins of Zhu Yan White Bone Observation.

The sky in this secret realm is lifelike, with a sun-like light source keeping it perpetually bright.

So the scenery inside is entirely visible.

The first thing to catch Su Yuan’s eye was a blue-gray stone mountain ahead, with continuous structures stretching from its base to its peak.

Directly in front of the mountain base stood an imposing archway, resembling a carving from white jade, with five cold, solemn ancient era spiritual runes inscribed above it.

Zhu Yan White Bone Observation!

Upon seeing the mountain gate, Su Yuan’s feet itched, almost unable to resist directly kicking it down.

But before he could act on this thought, that fierce-looking Captain Wang shouted:

"Remember, we’re here for archaeology, to rescue people, not to loot the secret realm!"

"Everything you see before you is an artifact of significant research value. If anyone dares damage the artifacts, they’ll face the consequences!"

The entire rescue team echoed in agreement.

Su Yuan slowly lowered his raised foot and fell into silence.

This... this isn’t right!

Did I not get the script of a Mahayana Stage comeback system?

Shouldn’t it be as simple as bullying some dead people and easily completing system tasks?

Why does it seem that now, instead, the system task difficulty has increased?
