Chapter 99: Wind Spirit Flower

---

Three hours later, two airships quietly floated into view on the distant horizon.

"Hahaha, Jiao Du, is your Corpse Demon Sect really out of people? You've only sent one late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to oversee this secret realm exploration?"

Suddenly, a sinister voice exploded in everyone's ears.

The voice seemed faint but reached the ears of everyone on the airship.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort sounded, and the hunchbacked old man who had been standing behind Jiao Du flew out of the airship alone.

"Xiu Yun, are you mocking my Corpse Demon Sect for having no one else?"

The sinister voice rang out again.

"I wondered who it was. It turns out to be you, Old Zombie Xiang Qi."

At this moment, on the other airship, a plump female cultivator with a mature and seductive aura flew into the air.

The female cultivator said, "Xiu Yun, Senior Brothers Xiang Qi and Xiu Yun, since everyone has arrived, let's break the seal and open the secret realm."

The origin of the Withered Blood Secret Realm is untraceable. Its entrance opens every thirty years. To prevent outsiders from barging in, the three major sects added a seal outside the entrance of the Withered Blood Secret Realm.

Xiu Yun said, "Fairy Huan Yu is right. Let's get down to business."

The three of them each produced a palm-sized black token.

They threw the tokens into the air and began to channel their spiritual power.

Three tokens glowed with a blood-red light, which grew brighter and bathed the surrounding sky in a blood-red hue.

Black runes appeared within the blood-red light and, after a moment, transformed into a complex and profound array with a hundred-zhang formation.

The formation fell sharply into a mountain hollow below.

With a deafening "boom," rocks shook, and trees shattered.

The formation landed in a hollow among the mountains.

As the blood-red light from the formation faded, an entrance that emitted a faint glow appeared in the hollow. It seemed as though there was nothing inside, as if even the air had disappeared.

A voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

"The entrance below is the entrance to the secret realm. Once you pass through it, you will enter the secret realm."

"Remember, the secret realm will only be open for seven days. If you cannot return within seven days, you will be trapped inside until the secret realm reopens in thirty years."

"Depart!"

With the command, the Qi Refining disciples from the three large ships jumped off and descended to the entrance of the secret realm.

After entering the entrance, Song Wen felt a momentary disorientation, as if the world was spinning, and a sense of loss enveloped him.

After a moment, the sensation of solid ground returned.

He looked up and found himself on a desolate, barren wasteland.

Looking around, he saw only rocks of various sizes and a few stunted trees growing amidst the rubble, struggling to survive.

Song Wen surveyed his surroundings and saw no one else. The entrance to the secret realm was a random teleportation, so each person's location was different.

Once he confirmed that he was temporarily safe, he took out a jade slip and pressed it to his forehead.

This jade slip contained the map of the secret realm, distributed by the sect while they were on the airship.

The jade slip recorded the terrain, distribution of monsters, and distribution of spiritual herbs within the explored areas of the secret realm.

Of course, the information in the jade slip may not be entirely accurate, as it was drawn up thirty years ago. While the terrain and distribution of spiritual herbs might not have changed much, the monsters, being various creatures, could have migrated.

There were five large red dots on the map, which were very conspicuous.

These five locations were places with powerful monsters and extremely precious spiritual herbs.

By comparing the map to the terrain of the wasteland, Song Wen roughly determined his location.

He looked towards the southeast. According to the map, about five hundred miles to the southeast was a large mountain where Heavenly Spirit Fruits were said to grow.

This location with Heavenly Spirit Fruits was one of three such places within the secret realm and was the closest one to Song Wen. He decided to go check it out first.

Song Wen did not use a flying boat but chose to run on the ground. Given his current strength, running on his own legs was already very fast. Using a flying boat in the sky would make him a large target and attract attention.

After running for a little over half an hour, he left the wasteland and arrived at a lush forest.

Ahead of him was a lake with an island in the center.

According to the map, this island grew Wind Spirit Flowers, which are auxiliary herbs used in refining Foundation Establishment Pills. They can neutralize the fierce medicinal properties of Heavenly Spirit Fruits, so encountering them meant they should be collected for use with the Heavenly Spirit Fruits.

Song Wen used his flying technique to soar into the air and headed towards the island.

At the same time, he released two of his Black Gu, both of which had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. These were the only two among the eight Black Gu that had advanced to the ninth level.

The two Black Gu flew close to the water surface beneath Song Wen.

Although the jade slip indicated that there were no powerful monsters in the lake, caution was always wise. After all, if any monster decided to migrate here due to the beautiful scenery, it would be troublesome.

Song Wen's concerns did not come to pass. He landed smoothly on the island in the lake.

Suddenly, a message came from the scouting Black Gu. By a bottomless pond on the island, seven spiritual grasses with rich spiritual energy and blue flowers were growing.

It was indeed Wind Spirit Flowers!

As Song Wen was about to head to the pond, he heard a sound of breaking air above him.

Looking up, he saw that cultivators had arrived.

Wu Xiu!

Song Wen couldn't help but sigh at the irony of encountering his enemy.

Wu Xiu did not notice Song Wen on the ground. He passed overhead and landed by the pond about a thousand meters away from Song Wen.

After Song Wen's spiritual sense advanced to spiritual awareness, its range reached five hundred meters, far surpassing the two hundred meters of a perfected Qi Refining cultivator. With the Black Gu, Song Wen could detect a range of about two thousand meters.

Through the Black Gu, Song Wen saw Wu Xiu commanding his undead servant to collect the Wind Spirit Flowers, only to be suddenly ambushed by two giant pythons emerging from the pond's bottom. Song Wen abandoned his plan to kill Wu Xiu with the Black Gu.

The two giant pythons were very powerful, and Wu Xiu was no match for them. He quickly fell into defeat.

His undead servant was bitten in half by the pythons and dragged into the pond, becoming their meal.

Wu Xiu barely escaped with his life. Losing his undead servant, he was quite agitated and wanted to leave but was still reluctant.

While Wu Xiu hesitated, two more cultivators flew in from the sky. These two, a man and a woman, were dressed in the attire of the Profound Yin Sect and landed near the pond.

On the ground, Wu Xiu saw the two approaching from a distance and hurriedly concealed his presence, hiding in the trees a hundred meters away from the pond.

The man and woman, with cultivation levels of Qi Refining Seventh Layer and Eighth Layer respectively, faced the same predicament as Wu Xiu. They were preparing to gather herbs when they were ambushed by the two giant pythons.

However, their strength was greater, and they fought the giant pythons with considerable back-and-forth.
