Chapter 1289 Reminiscing with Old Friends
Xun Kun, dressed in a low-key black robe with subtle patterns, showed a hint of joy in his eyes after confirming that it was Yun Xi who had walked out of the teleportation hall. He then stepped forward to greet her.
Hua Wu lagged behind Xun Kun by a step, but after seeing Yun Xi's cultivation level, her eyes flickered, and she walked over with a faint smile.
Xun Kun took the lead and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Ranxi, you've arrived."
Yunxi smiled and returned the greeting. She glanced at Xunkun and noticed that although his cultivation had not broken through, his aura was becoming more and more solid, and it was clear that his cultivation had not declined.
"I came straight from the Ghost Realm as soon as I received your message. I chose to use the teleportation array to keep a low profile. Thank you for picking me up."
Xun Kun already knew why Yun Xi disappeared in the Langhuan Secret Realm. In addition, he had heard some rumors about the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade. With a little connection, he could guess most of the facts. Therefore, he knew that the evil immortals lurking in the shadows were looking for an opportunity to kill Yun Xi. That was why Yun Xi chose to take the teleportation array to the Demon Realm.
So he calmly replied:
"You're too kind. It's been almost a thousand years since we last met after the Battle of the Burial God Sea. Of course I would welcome you to the Demon Realm."
Yunxi smiled slightly and looked at Huawu, who had already stood still:
"Demon Lord Huawu, we meet again. I thought we'd never see each other again after we parted ways in the Langhuan Secret Realm."
Hua Wu replied with a smile:
"Immortal Lord Ranxi is blessed by the heavens. Your strength has increased again upon your return. Your advancement speed is probably unmatched in the Immortal Realm."
"You flatter me, Demon Lord Huawu."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two got straight to the point, with Hua Wu speaking first:
“I know that Immortal Lord Ranxi came for the ‘Mysterious Heaven Realm’. This secret realm has reappeared in the world after ten thousand years. According to Demon Emperor Moya, the danger within this secret realm is even greater than before.”
Moreover, who knows what new changes might have occurred in this secret realm that has been closed for tens of thousands of years? Therefore, I would like to invite you to join my team and travel together.”
Based on the limited information provided by Hua Wu, Yun Xi deduced that the opening of this secret realm was probably different from the past. That's why Hua Wu, whose cultivation was at the mid-level of the Demon Lord realm, was in a hurry to find reliable teammates. Yun Xi, who had interacted with her in the Langhuan Secret Realm and whose strength was comparable to hers, became the first choice.
Yunxi knew Huawu's purpose, but she did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked at Xunkun and said:
Would you like to team up with me?
Xun Kun was pleased to hear Yun Xi's question, but because the openwork mask concealed most of his expression, he quickly composed himself and replied:
“I am naturally willing to team up with you, Immortal Lord. However, according to the information I have found about the ‘Mysterious Heaven Realm’, immortals who enter the secret realm will be sent to separate spaces based on their strength. Whether they can leave the secret realm alive depends entirely on themselves.”
Yunxi nodded to indicate that she understood. She had also made this guess, since there were very few secret realms that did not restrict cultivation levels, but high-level immortals had a natural advantage over low-level immortals.
If one were in the same secret realm as some domineering high-level immortals, the low-level immortals would probably not even get a blade of grass. It would be much more reasonable to send immortals of different strengths to different training spaces, especially in a secret realm that has given birth to a realm spirit.
Yunxi knew she couldn't team up with Xunkun, so she didn't mind teaming up with anyone else. She then looked at Huawu and said:
"Although I don't know what I will encounter in the 'Mysterious Heaven Realm', it is my honor to be able to team up with the Flower Demon Lord."
After receiving a positive reply, Hua Wu smiled faintly and gestured for him to proceed.
"It is my honor to team up with Immortal Lord Ranxi. The Demon God Sect has already booked an inn. Before the secret realm opens, we can rest at the inn temporarily, which will also make it convenient for you to catch up with Xun Kun."
Yunxi smiled and nodded in agreement, and the three of them went to the largest "Yunlai Inn" in Jianzhang City.
Looking at the "Yunlai Inn" in front of her, which was comparable to a small sect, Yunxi knew why the Demon God Sect had booked the place. Huawu took her to a secluded courtyard halfway up the mountain, and after exchanging the aura of the communication jade slip with Yunxi, she took her leave.
Yunxi raised her hand to remove the restrictions on the courtyard, and took the lead in sitting down at the jade table in the courtyard before looking at Xunkun.
Xun Kun then waved his sleeve and set out a set of purple-gold tea utensils, silently brewing tea. Only after the steaming teacup was pushed in front of Yun Xi did he speak: "Try the tea I brewed. This is the Fire Tree Tea, which is unique to the Demon Realm and has the fire attribute."
Yunxi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and savored it carefully. After a moment, she put down the teacup and said:
"The tea has a rich aroma and also helps to dispel cold; it's truly a good product."
Xun Kun stroked the teacup in front of him, seemingly choosing his words carefully. After Yun Xi finished speaking, he paused for a long while before asking in a deep voice:
"Ranxi, do you think Ziqian can hold on until the end?"
Yunxi had anticipated that Xunkun would ask about Liao Ziqian's situation, but she couldn't approach the Burial God Sea right now. However, she had indeed intervened in the "Nine-Round Sacrifice Array" set up by the Evil Immortal of the Ghost Realm three hundred years ago, so she tried to answer as objectively as possible:
“Ziqian will definitely be able to hold on until the end. The one who is anxious now is the Evil God. You probably already know why I disappeared from the Langhuan Secret Realm. Why is the Evil Immortal so anxious to activate the 'Nine-Round Sacrifice Array' to absorb the soul power of the Ghost Realm Immortals? Isn't it to strengthen the Evil God's soul?”
From this alone, we can conclude that the evil god's soul threads failed to completely devour Ziqian's soul. Moreover, with the golden light of merit that you and I jointly bestowed upon him, he should be able to sustain himself at least until the entire Immortal Realm returns to the Divine Realm.
Xun Kun's fingers unconsciously rubbed the teacup. After carefully listening to Yun Xi's analysis, he sighed and said:
"I am grateful for Immortal Lord's kind words. I also hope that Ziqian can persevere to the end, even if he only retains a wisp of his soul. That child has admired you since he was a child. If it weren't for his special physique, he would definitely have joined your sect."
Yunxi chuckled and said:
"No, I don't have the energy to teach disciples. You don't even know how dangerous it is around me. There are plenty of people, both overt and covert, who want to kill me. Every time I break through, it's been a near-death experience."
Xun Kun knew that Yun Xi was telling the truth, so he nodded with a slight smile and then began to talk about the inside story of the "Mysterious Heaven Realm".
"The Demon Emperor Moya's intervention to stabilize the secret realm this time caused quite a stir, alarming several of the Demon God Sect's elders who were in seclusion. After the news of the secret realm's appearance spread, the sect leader limited the number of people from the sect who could enter the 'Mysterious Heaven Realm'."
Yunxi knew that Xunkun was revealing inside information to her, so she replied:
"You mean that this secret realm was forcibly kept by the Demon Emperor Moya, so the difficulty of the training will be increased."
Xun Kun nodded in agreement.
Yunxi continued to ask:
"Does the sect restrict high-level immortals or low-level immortals?"
Xun Kun reached out and poured Yun Xi another cup of tea before replying:
“Disciples whose cultivation is below the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm are not allowed to enter the ‘Mysterious Heaven Realm’. Moreover, the elite and core disciples of the sect have been assigned other tasks, but people with my background are not subject to the restrictions.”
Yunxi immediately understood that the Demon God Sect was doing this to reduce the risk of its disciples dying, so she looked up and asked:
"What about you? Do you insist on going?"
