ee how they're doing. Do you understand"The ripples are a metaphor."Yes, old man understands!"Master Pan immediately agreed, and Lian Yi bid farewell very crisply.Back at the inn, Minmin finally spoke..."Is that Senior Sister Qiao Lianyi"

"I guess so, she hasn't changed much."

I can no longer tell what level of cultivation she is at.

"Me too."

The whispers of the disciples reached Lian Ri's ears, causing her to twitch the corner of her mouth as she was enjoying the scenery. These people were obviously intentional; they were all cultivators, and this level of speaking voice could be heard by anyone who wasn't deaf.

"Hmph! What's so great about that It's just resources piled up by the sect master. If I had a sect master father, my cultivation speed would definitely not be any worse."

A slightly sharp voice entered everyone's ears.

The speaker was a male cultivator, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, an inner disciple.

Some disciples also agreed with the male cultivator's statement, but they did not voice their support.

"Master, let me bite him."

The whirlwind glared with its vertical pupils, snarling fiercely.

"Human flesh doesn't taste good."

Ripples brushed the whirlwind in his arms, conveying a message.

Then they slander you!

"That's what the incompetent do. What we should do is hit him back with our strength, nothing beats that feeling of satisfaction. I'm letting you go bite him now, he might even say you're bullying him!"

Ripples said nonchalantly.

She is the ancestor of ripples. A few words to provoke her, too unoriginal.

"Alright! I'll settle the score with him when we get inside the secret realm."

The whirlwind wagged its tail and then closed its eyes, continuing to enjoy the caress of the ripples.

Dodo was more direct, sending a voice transmission to Ripples:

"Master, when the time comes, I will be responsible for helping you dispose of the body. I will not cause you any trouble."

"Okay, let's talk when we're inside the secret realm."

The male cultivator ignored the ripples completely and continued to speak, provoking him with every word.

Ripples turned her head to look at the other person, a smile curling at the corner of her lips. Then, she focused her spiritual sense and struck like a needle, piercing straight into the other person's sea of consciousness. The other person let out a scream, clutching their head and kneeling on the ground.

Those around were startled and moved three feet away from the fellow disciple. After the other party finally managed to stand up with a pale face, Lian Ri had already returned to the cabin. Everyone realized what had happened. For the rest of the time, no one dared to provoke Lian Ri again. It seemed that all the previous suspicions and slander had never happened.

...and the ripples never surfaced again. She stayed inside the cabin, passing time by reading cultivation novels.

Half a month later, the Feiyun Sect's spaceship arrived at the canyon where the Yuntai Secret Realm was located, and they were not the first sect to arrive.

After the spaceship landed, fifty Qi Refinement stage cultivators who entered the secret realm lined up and waited quietly for the secret realm to open. This time, Elder Shang of the Nascent Soul period was leading the team.

Because it's the first time the Yuntian Secret Realm has been opened, no one knows what treasures are inside, nor what kind of dangers. To be on the safe side, we've asked Yuan Ying Zhenjun to send disciples from the sect. If a disciple really finds treasure in the secret realm, at least they can keep it safe.

This time, there were one thousand people entering the Yuntai Secret Realm. The various sects divided the quota among themselves. Naturally, larger sects had more entrants than smaller ones. Among them, the number of independent cultivators was the least, with only twenty places. Even this quota was fought for by the Independent Cultivators Alliance.

As soon as the hour arrived, the passage to Yuntai Secret Realm slowly opened. In mid-air was a vortex surrounded by clouds. Following a command from the True Lords, the disciples entering the realm all soared into the vortex atop their swords.

The ripples created a protective shield for themselves, then they charged into the entrance with their swords and fellow disciples from their sect. Once the number of people entering reached the limit for the secret realm, the vortex automatically closed. A month later, the secret realm would transport everyone who entered back out.

Those wandering cultivators who had been hiding around, hoping to sneak in, didn't get the chance. They could only wait resentfully outside the secret realm, wanting to know what was inside.

R ripples felt a tremor in the space, then everything went black. When light returned, she and her own soul sword were falling freely. Below them lay a lake, and a brightly colored fish had opened its gaping maw, waiting for R ripples to fall into its mouth.

Lian Yi held the Lei Yao Sword tightly, ready to strike down their opponent. Duo Duo suddenly spoke up:

"Master, can I eat it"

If you listen carefully, you can still hear a hint of excitement mixed in with the sounds of the flowers.

"Okay."

As soon as the ripple's voice fell, the flowers pinned in her hair flew off automatically, instantly transforming into figures as tall as a person. They opened their petals, and with mouths larger than that of the five-colored fish, swallowed it whole into their flower discs.

The ripples had already stabilized their descent using the Wind Resistance Technique. Then, with their toes, they lightly tapped on the petals of the flower path, borrowing force to land on the shore. After that, they recalled Dodoru.

Dodo transformed back into a small flower and inserted herself into Lian's ripple-patterned hair bun. When Lian wasn't looking, Dodo even let out a loud burp.

With a wave of her hand, she mused, "This little one must have overeaten."

"Dodo, this is the first day we enter the secret realm. Take it easy, don't go too fast or you won't be able to eat all the good food in the back."

"Don't worry, master. I have internal space. If I can't finish it, I'll store it first and eat it slowly after leaving the secret realm."

Duo Duo said very confidently.

Ripple raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"Duo Duo, you're just an ordinary Venus flytrap, only at the second tier. How can you possibly open up space inside your body"

""

Playing dead.

Ripple didn't wait for the other person's reply and didn't ask again. Anyway, one day she would know the answer.

Dodo felt a little guilty. She had been quite smug just now, and almost blew her cover. Luckily, the master didn't press further.

The ripples released the whirlwind from the Spirit Beast Ring. As she entered the secret realm, she worried that it would separate her from the whirlwind, so she could only reluctantly have the whirlwind enter first. Fortunately, she was farsighted; this secret realm indeed randomly teleported people.

"Master, the spiritual energy here is so dense. When you advance to the Golden Core stage, I should be able to break through the third-tier seal."

The whirlwind wagged its tail and said.

"Well, let's find a safe place first. I'll meditate and gather my strength, then we can explore the secret realm."

Now, ripples is just one step away from entering the secret realm. In order to enter the secret realm, she suppressed her cultivation level. Therefore, in this environment where spiritual energy is so dense, she is confident that she can complete the alchemy within three days, and she doesn't even need extra spirit stones; the spiritual energy of the secret realm is enough for her to cultivate.

The ripples of the divine consciousness delved into the lake he had fallen into, discovering that there were only a group of first- and second-tier colorful fish. The one who was swallowed by Duo Duo before should have been the boss here. Because the boss disappeared, these colorful fish dared not show their heads, quietly sinking to the bottom of the water.

Subsequently, ripples discovered a one-square-meter black stone in the center of the lake, large enough for her to sit cross-legged. She decided to form her elixir right there.

After setting up the integrated attack and defense formation, she had the whirlwind guard her from the side. Once she activated the formation, she released the suppression, and in an instant, spiritual energy surged in from all directions, encasing the ripples within a green cocoon in just three breaths.

The ripples began to compress the spiritual energy within the dantian, compressing the liquid Qi into a solid golden elixir. This was a process of condensing the essence, allowing for no mistakes.

Three days later, a golden pill the size of a pigeon egg appeared in Lian's dantian. The spiritual energy cocoon surrounding her was also absorbed by her. At this time, spiritual energy continued to flow towards Lian.

The ripples once again drew the spiritual energy into her body, initiating a new cycle of circulation. Suddenly, the stone beneath her trembled.g, and so was the lightning power, constantly suppressing it.The ripples then moved, installing a time bomb at the fastest speed possible. Nothing in this underground laboratory could leak out, otherw...
