Chapter 130 The Path Begins
However, even highly skilled cultivators like Feng Yunxian and Yan Zhongxing could not object to this. Their opposition could not shake the decision of the five major clans, and would only lead to deeper resentment from other cultivators.
Huangfu Talang paused for a moment, then solemnly announced: "In order to maintain the order of the Xianju Secret Realm, all cultivators from various sects who wish to enter the secret realm must pay 200 spirit crystals for Infant Stage cultivators, 20 for Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivators, and one for Condensation Stage cultivators. If spirit crystals are insufficient, they can be replaced with rare treasures of equal value, which will be collected by cultivators from the five ancient nations and the two supreme sects outside the teleportation array. Once the payment is made, they will be released immediately without any harassment."
As soon as these words came out, many monks were shocked. This move was harsh, almost according to the average wealth of ordinary Infant and Spiritualization monks. After such a plunder, the monks' property would be almost gone.
Huangfu Talan's face darkened, and he shouted in a voice like a bell: "This is a glimmer of hope for survival that I grant you. Those who do not want to accept it can leave on their own, and do not say anything more!" As he spoke, the powerful pressure of the fusion period exploded in the ears of the monks below the scene like thunder, making those noisy people instantly become silent.
Yan Zhongxing and Feng Yunxian couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to admire the courage of the five clan leaders. Although the opportunities in the Xianju Secret Realm were still unknown, they had already set up a checkpoint at the entrance to charge a fee, and the lucrative profits were already evident.
Especially Feng Yunxian, she was one of the earliest cultivators to arrive. If she had such courage, she would have accumulated thousands of spiritual crystals. However, she just foolishly blocked others from entering the secret realm, which helped the other six major forces a lot, and in the end she didn't get a good reputation!
After all matters were finalized, the seven major forces each sent two Infant Stage monks to the teleportation array, a total of fourteen Infant Stage monks were stationed, and there were seven powerful people in the Fusion Realm to guard behind them. Faced with such a lineup, no one dared to cause trouble. Therefore, some Infant Stage monks who were eager to enter the secret realm had no choice but to pay 200 Spirit Crystals and successfully entered the secret realm.
Seeing that someone had taken the lead, more monks immediately followed suit, paying the fee to enter the secret realm. In just a moment, a long line formed outside the teleportation array, and a large amount of spirit crystals flowed into the pockets of the seven major forces.
At the same time, Lang Zhengfeng and Xu Dejing received news from Wu Longhai: the Wu court gave ten infant-returning monks the opportunity to enter the secret realm, but they must abide by the regulations that no excess must be allowed and the principle of voluntariness must be adopted.
This is also a warning from Wu Longhai as the king. Entering the Xianju Secret Realm is indeed full of dangers, but he is not willing to stop those cultivators who harbor opportunities. He only controls the number of people to prevent the Wu Kingdom from losing too many cultivators in the Infant Stage, which would lead to a sharp decline in domestic strength.
Lang Zhengfeng asked Xu Dejing: "Brother Dejing, are you planning to enter the secret realm?"
Xu Dejing responded: "Are you sure Qian'er is in the secret realm?"
Lang Zhengfeng replied: "According to accurate intelligence, she should be inside."
Hearing this, Xu Dejing resolutely said: "Since Qian'er is in this, for her safety, I, as a father, must go in and find out. Brother Lang, what about you?"
Lang Zhengfeng thought for a moment and replied, "I will also enter the secret realm."
Even though he faced great risks, as Xia Zhongnan was also trapped in the secret realm, Lang Zhengfeng finally decided to go through fire and water and try his luck...
Xu Dejing said calmly: "Then let's act as soon as possible. The two of us will go in together so that we can take care of each other."
Naturally, the two of them did not need to hand over any spirit stones, but were led directly through by a special person. At this moment, a total of eighteen Return to Void Realm cultivators from the five major cultivation countries and the two supreme immortal sects followed them in.
With the influx of more and more cultivators, the Immortal Palace will surely present a new prosperous scene.
In the formation that connected to the secret realm, Xia Zhongnan was full of surprise. As expected, an independent space was opened up in his sea of consciousness, and his soul could enter and exit freely. However, except for his soul, no one else could enter this space, and this space was in chaos, seemingly without any special use.
However, the main reason why Xia Zhongnan opened up this place was to house Feng Yunzi's soul. He had already tried it and found that this space was connected to his sea of consciousness and could move with his movements, which was different from the fixed space where Feng Yunzi was trapped.
Xia Zhongnan's soul entered Feng Yunzi's space again and said, "Senior, I have also created such a space. You can follow my soul to see if it can survive in that space."
Feng Yunzi was surprised when he heard this: "You also created such a space? Okay, let's go and take a look together!"
Under the guidance of his soul, Feng Yunzi was successfully transferred to the space opened up by Xia Zhongnan, and he did not feel any discomfort. Feng Yunzi laughed happily: "After more than two thousand years, I am no longer restricted here and can see the scenery of the outside world! My dear nephew, hurry up and let us explore somewhere else."
Xia Zhongnan responded: "Senior, I haven't found a way out of here yet. Should we find a way out first and then make plans?"
Feng Yunzi shook his head and said, "Why do we need to find a way out? I came here from the outside world, why do I need to look for it? Take me to the fairy palace for a tour. This has been my wish for more than two thousand years. How can I be willing to leave so easily now?"
Xia Zhongnan then called the various beasts, Xu Qian, and Gu Xiuzhang to his side and announced, "I have found a way to escape. Everyone, go to the Immortal Palace together and see if there are any treasures to be obtained before making plans to leave the palace."
Although everyone firmly believed that Xia Zhongnan would not speak without a purpose, his sudden words were still too unexpected to be believed for a while.
As for how Xia Zhongnan met Feng Yunzi here and created a different dimension and introduced Feng Yunzi into it, he would never tell them. Although Gu Xiuzhang was able to keep a secret, he did not know the truth about how Xia Zhongnan took Feng Yunzi away. Xia Zhongnan could only walk a distance under the guidance of Feng Yunzi to show everyone.
This move shocked Bai Ze, who had a deeper understanding of the difficulties and obstacles in this place than anyone else. However, Xia Zhongnan seemed to have understood something in an instant. Bai Ze had been thinking hard for two days but could not solve the problem, but Xia Zhongnan was able to solve it in the blink of an eye. His method was simple and efficient. With just a few instructions, he could turn a deadlock into a smooth path.
Witnessing all this, everyone was shocked, except Xu Qian who took it for granted. In her eyes, there seemed to be nothing in the world that Xia Zhongnan could not do.
Since ancient times, whenever Xia Zhongnan stopped by her side, she would feel at ease and explore the various wonderful pleasures of the world of cultivation without restraint. After Xia Zhongnan proved that he could safely guide everyone through the dangers, the group and the strange monsters returned to the foggy area guarded by the ban.
After entering the mist, Xia Zhongnan no longer needed Feng Yunzi to lead the way. He did not return to the secret realm of monsters, but flew directly towards the palace of the Immortal Lord. Now that he had found the road leading to the depths of the Immortal Palace, the next thing was naturally to travel through the spaces hidden in the secret realms of the Immortal Palace. If there was an opportunity, he would naturally strive for it.
