Chapter 2367 Reopening the Secret Realm
"Now, as the creator of the new secret realm, I will forge a new alliance with the Great Square Pot." He wasted no time, casually grabbed a small knife and cut his palm, then held the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl in his hand, letting it be stained with his blood.
"I offer my blood as a testament to my sincerity, and humbly request to form an alliance with Chaos. From this day forward, I, He Lingchuan, am willing to use my body as a bridge, my flesh and blood as glue, to connect existence and non-existence, to link the real and the illusory—"
He stretched out his hand: "—Come on!"
The words were powerful and resonant.
Every drop of blood flowing from his wound was absorbed by the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl.
Baozhu used to feed on strange phenomena of the mortal world, but today, it is drinking He Lingchuan's blood!
Then, it began to glow red.
He Lingchuan loosened his grip, letting it fall into the puddle.
Aunt Zhu stared intently at the pearl with all her eyes, watching it sink rapidly, its light penetrating the darkness.
Then, the enormous figure swam over slowly and swallowed the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl whole!
The pearly light disappeared, and He Lingchuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The contract is established, and the secret realm reopens. Twelve hours from now!"
The new secret realm has a twelve-hour growth period.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground trembled, and the entire Fog Valley shook.
"Look there!" Aunt Zhu suddenly turned to the west.
The previous Panlong Secret Realm has disappeared, and their only foothold is the Mist Valley. No matter which direction they go, they will eventually return to this valley, because the Mingsha Forest is only so big.
But now, the thick fog in the west has dissipated, and there seem to be some shadowy figures in the darkness.
Those were the outlines of undulating mountains, most of which were still hidden in the darkness, and even with her excellent night vision, Aunt Zhu couldn't see them clearly.
"This is the prototype, or rather the foundation, of the new secret realm." He Lingchuan knew this without even turning his head. "My secret realm will grow on its foundation."
"What will it look like?" Aunt Zhu asked, full of curiosity. "Will it be a replica of the original Panlong Secret Realm?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Such secret realms usually embody the scene that left the deepest impression and evoked the strongest emotions in the creator. What we saw in the Panlong Secret Realm was the scene after the destruction of Panlong City. For Lord Zhong, that was the most painful and profound memory."
He said slowly, "But I never actually experienced this event. The secret realm I constructed is mostly not like that."
In reality.
Just over ten breaths after the Panlong Secret Realm disappeared, a loud and powerful roar suddenly rang out from Yujing City, dozens of miles away.
As a constant rival to Panlong City, Earth Mother keenly sensed the anomaly on Chipa Plateau and decided to take immediate action.
Hearing the commotion, all the monsters in the city sprang into action, scrambling to hide in the nearest buildings.
If you're too slow, you could lose your life.
Then, the entire city of Yujing slowly sank, and the ground in the entire area churned and trembled continuously.
From a distance, it looks like a giant horseshoe crab burrowing into the mud and sand.
Two quarters of an hour later, Yujing City completely submerged underground. Only an enormous crater remained on the original ground.
……
Meanwhile, the immortals of Mount Ling were holding a meeting in Blackwater City.
Master Sihai said with a solemn expression: "I think that, at the current pace, the Earth Mother will reach the front of the ruins in a few days at most, and the Chipa Plateau will become the last stronghold of the Panlong Ruins."
Now, there are five more immortals qualified to discuss matters on the same stage as the True Man of Sihai.
They also brought many disciples with them.
Ling Jinbao murmured, "Wasn't it the same more than a hundred years ago? Panlong City was defeated, the entire wasteland was lost, and in the end only the Chipa Plateau was left. If it loses again this time, it will have lost twice."
Master Sihai chuckled and said, "That's just a ruin. Why bother with such things?"
The newly arrived Immortal Mingke laughed: "If ruins have spirits, most of them exist because of obsession. It's not that they don't care, but that they care too much. This Panlong Ruins is clearly a place with a spirit."
He was the junior brother of Venerable Mingyao, specializing in archaeology and natural history, and had studied many ancient relics. Therefore, Mingyao specially sent a message to invite him over.
"Even with a spirit, you can't defeat the Earth Mother??" Master Sishui shook his head. "The famous Panlong Ruins are nothing special. It's too disappointing."
“It’s probably because the power of this ruin itself is waning,” Immortal Mingke said solemnly. “Maintaining a causal relationship is extremely costly, let alone the fact that it has been swirling fierce winds in the Panlong Desert for at least a hundred years. During this time, it was the era of weak laws, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far less concentrated than it is now. It was not easy for it to maintain itself, and the losses were exacerbated. Sooner or later, it would be overdrawn. The Earth Mother seized this opportunity.”
"What is Mother Earth doing now?" Does the preparation work need to take this long?
"Seize territory and expand your power." Ming Ke knew that not all immortals liked exploring ruins. "Because many ruins are imbued with spirits, they can form illusions and secret realms, which are popularly known as ghost realms or evening glows. When Fellow Daoist Ling went to Panlong Ruins last time, the others probably entered the secret realm inside the ruins, which is a self-contained small world or space. The Earth Mother has consumed so many ruins, so she should be quite wary of the secret realm of Panlong Ruins."
“According to the information we have, the Great Square Pot and the Panlong Ruins are integrated into one, and this ruin is also integrated with the entire wasteland. Therefore, in the era of micro-law, neither Mount Ling nor the Heavenly Demon could separate these three.” Immortal Mingke continued, “In fact, there is another layer to add – the secret realm is also bound to these three.”
Ling Jinbao pressed his temples: "They're so sturdy? No wonder no one can separate them."
"If the Earth Mother attacks the Panlong Ruins directly, she might be pulled into the enemy's secret realm and suffer a backlash."
Master Sihai understood: "Because the wasteland and ruins are intertwined, the ruins can draw upon the power of the entire wasteland?"
“Yes! But now the Earth Mother has an opportunity. With the power guarding the Panlong Ruins greatly weakened, she can take the opportunity to seize the wasteland. In this way, the power of both sides will wax and wane. When the Earth Mother controls the entire wasteland, the Panlong Ruins will be isolated.” Immortal Mingke gave an analogy: “Before the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was restored, a giant python could at most swallow a deer or a boar, but it couldn’t swallow an adult elephant. For these secret realms, a small creature can’t swallow a big one either.”
"If that's the case, then the Earth Mother will soon be targeting the ruins." Master Sihai frowned. "Immortal Mingke, do you have an old friend who once entered Jade Capital City?"
"That's right, his name is Qu Yu."
Everyone let out a long "Oh!": "So it's Master Minghui!"
"No wonder. It's not surprising that the disciple of the First Shore Immortal was able to escape from Jade Capital City unscathed."
“Brother Qu and I share similar names and temperaments, and we often exchange messages,” Immortal Mingke continued. “About three thousand five hundred years ago, before the Heavenly Demons invaded the human world, I visited the cave of True Man Minghui and heard him talk about his past travels to Jade Capital City.”
