“Senior Brother Yue.”
The kid took a step forward and handed the hourglass magic artifact to the young man.
“Thank you, Junior Brother Nangong.”
The young man who was addressed as “Senior Brother Yue” nodded and cupped his hands in greeting.
These four people were all disciples of major sects.
Senior Brother Yue, who was in the lead, was Yue Tianya, he was the Holy Son of the top immortal sect in the Northern Plains, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace.
The child with the cherub face was called Nangong Xuan. He came from the top immortal sect of the Eastern Barren Territory, the Longevity Palace. This immortal sect had a mysterious background and the inheritance of the immortal scriptures was quite extraordinary. It was said that those who cultivated successfully could control the mysteries of time and space.
The remaining two were the skinny youth named Hong Yu, who came from the Array Dao first-rate sect, the Immortal Slaying Mountain.
Priestess Fengyun’s Dharma name was Yuanzhao. She came from the Holy Land of Buddhism, the Seven Dust Temple, which was also a first-rate sect.
These four people were all prodigies of great sects. Among their fellow disciples, there were also other genius disciples who entered the mystical realm and listened to their orders.
The four of them joined hands and formed a huge force.
“Junior Brother Hong, how is the situation with the casual cultivators?” Yue Tianya said.
Upon hearing this, Hong Yu took out a large roll of animal skin from his storage artifact and unfolded it.
When he saw the contents of the animal skin, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Senior Martial Brother Yue, your predictions are as divine as a god. Those rogue cultivators have indeed started to kill each other.”
There were many light spots on this animal skin scroll. A few light spots were in groups of two or three, while most of them were scattered throughout the mystical realm.
Hong Yu came from the Immortal Slaying Mountain and had an Array Dao secret artifact with him.
Although this artifact did not have any killing power, it could illuminate the world and mark the approximate location of the cultivators in the mystical realm.
There was only one official registration point in the Secret Mystical Realm, but as long as one jumped into the Illusion Lake when the mystical realm opened, they could enter the mystical realm.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion didn’t stop this kind of behavior. Competing with casual cultivators was part of the Heaven’s Favored trial.
Because of this, after the mystical realm opened, a large number of casual cultivators poured into the True Illusion mystical realm in an attempt to find opportunities.
It was already the seventh day of the mystical realm trial.
Compared to the first day, the light spots on the animal skin scroll were less than a third of what they were when the mystical realm first opened.
Most of the people who disappeared here were casual cultivators without sects.
The remaining were cultivators from small sects who had sneaked in.
“Junior Brothers and Sisters of the sects in communication, please continue to spread the news about the Demon’s Origin Qi. You must let more people know the benefits of absorbing this Origin Qi,” Yue Tianya said.
The so-called “Demon’s Origin Qi” was naturally the demonic energy whirlpool left behind after the demons were killed in the Secret Mystical Realm.
In the past few days, the Secret Mystical Realm had been able to stir up such a bloody storm because of this Holy Son Yue.
“Don’t worry, Holy Son Yue. Since we’ve promised you, we’ll naturally do our best to help you,” Priestess Yuanzhao said.
“Alright.” Yue Tianya nodded heavily. “I always keep my word. After this is done, the Demon’s Origin Qi will belong to me, and we will share the inheritance of the mystical realm.
“As for the other artifacts, divine pills, and sacred medicines, I won’t take a single cent of them. As for the other things I promised you, no matter what the outcome is, I will deliver them to you as promised.”
“Senior Brother, you are very righteous.” Hong Yu cupped his hands in a righteous manner.
As core disciples of a major sect, Yue Tianya was able to make the three of them listen to him and do things according to his instructions. Of course, he gave them benefits.
Hong Yu admired a female disciple of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, and that person happened to be Yue Tianya’s junior sister from the same sect. Therefore, Yue Tianya promised that after this matter was over, he would be the matchmaker for Hong Yu and propose marriage to his junior sister on his behalf.
“I’m the only one from the Hall of Longevity who entered the Secret Mystical Realm. If Senior Brother Yue has someone he wants to kill, you can give it to me,” Nangong Xuan said.
Yue Tianya’s promise to Nangong Xuan was a half remnant seal that he had obtained from an ancient remnant land.
There were 12 statues in the Hall of Longevity, and they were the Venerables who ruled the 12 months of the year according to the doctrine. At the same time, it was also the origin of the Hall of Longevity.
However, 4,000 years ago, the person who symbolized the authority of the Winter Moon suddenly lost contact with the Hall of Longevity. No matter how they opened the altar to offer sacrifices, they could not get a response from this person.
Yue Tianya didn’t know what had happened in the Hall of Longevity, but he was very knowledgeable. He could feel the traces of the power of the Hall of Longevity on the broken seal.
Thus, he used this as a reward in exchange for Nangong Xuan’s service.
Although Junior Brother Nangong had a bad temper, he was very serious.
Yue Tianya held the animal skin scroll and watched as the light spots on it disappeared one by one. He shook his head gently.
As the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, Yue Tianya’s perception of the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws far exceeded that of cultivators of the same age.
After killing the first demon, he keenly sensed that behind the demon whirlpool, there was an unformed Great Dao!
At that moment, Yue Tianya was ecstatic.
From then on, he knew what the true opportunities in this mystical realm were.
The legacy of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace was extremely ancient. At the beginning of the establishment of the sect, the founding master had left behind the maxim of “At Least 3,000 Great Daos”.
A disciple of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace on the path of cultivation had to continuously forge ahead and open up new paths.
However, there were different levels of innovation.
It was easy to create spells and improve combat techniques.
And how difficult was it to open up a brand new Great Dao?
Even if one counted from the beginning of the establishment of the sect, there were not many who could start from scratch and reach this step alone.
And now, an excellent opportunity was placed in front of Yue Tianya.
A brand new Great Dao that had yet to take shape!
Yue Tianya knew clearly in his heart that with his talent and talent, opening up a Great Dao was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
However, following the footsteps of the predecessors and completely forming an incomplete Great Dao, the difficulty was reduced many times.
If he could do this, ascending to the Upper World and becoming a True Immortal would be within his grasp!
However, after experiencing the initial excitement, Yue Tianya did not act immediately.
This unformed Great Dao was split into many fragments and hidden in the bodies of the demons in the Secret Mystical Realm.
Every time he killed a demon, his understanding of that Great Dao would deepen.
With Yue Tianya’s strength alone, wanting to gather all the nomological fragments was really somewhat difficult.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace had enemies as well.
Even if the opposing sect did not know what Yue Tianya was trying to do, they would definitely stop him after seeing him wantonly killing the demons.
Thus, he prepared a method for cultivating poison.
He was related to Hong Yu and the other two and was trustworthy. Thus, he used them to release the news of the Demon’s Origin Qi and the possibility of a great sect’s inheritance being buried in the mystical realm.
The disciples of the major sects looked down on the Demon’s Origin Qi. Outsiders only thought that Yue Tianya was deliberately letting the casual cultivators fight and kill each other in order to obtain the inheritance of the mystical realm.
However, they did not know that he was waiting for the gullible to fall. After the casual cultivators fought among themselves and killed one another, he would harvest them.
Regarding this, Yue Tianya did not have too much of a psychological burden.
Even if he didn’t spread the news or add fuel to the fire, there would still be poison spreaders among the casual cultivators.
This was because the benefits of absorbing demonic energy were immense to rogue cultivators.
The disciples of the major sects were all elites. With the quality of their magic power, their own aptitude, and the support of various magic artifacts and combat skills, their combat strength was even stronger than that of casual cultivators who absorbed demonic Qi.
They cared about their Dao path and were wary of external objects that could turn them into demons.
However, they had no choice.
If others absorbed demonic energy, their combat strength would increase dramatically. If he did not absorb demonic energy, he would be killed.
Even those casual cultivators who didn’t want to absorb demonic energy before had to take the initiative to kill the demons.
They couldn’t even stop. If others fused one, he would fuse two. If others fused three, he would fuse four.
The competition became more vicious and intense.
Yue Tianya did not know how to describe this phenomenon.
He rolled up the animal skin and prepared to put away this magic artifact.
Because of this action, the animal skin rolled up, and the small dots of light on the map were squeezed together, looking very pitiful.
‘Why don’t we call it an Inner Scroll?’ Yue Tianya thought to himself.
