There were more than a hundred casual cultivators on the deck, ranging from the sixth level of Qi training to the first level of Qi training. I didn't see anyone in the later stages of Qi training.

Each of these people had dead expressions on their faces, like death row prisoners awaiting execution.

When these people were captured, some resisted and some ran away. Whether they were resisters or escapees, the result was the same: death.

Such cruel methods have made everyone no longer have hope. They can survive for the time being without resisting, but they will eventually lead to death.

"What are they arresting us for?" Ye Xiaocheng poked the person sitting next to him with his arm.

"I heard it was to open up wasteland for them."

"Opening up wasteland? Let's farm the land. Isn't that good?" Ye Xiaocheng was puzzled.

"Where can there be such a good thing? It's not to go to the wilderness to open up wasteland, but to go to a newly discovered secret realm to open up wasteland." The man next to him said with a cry.

Ye Xiaocheng immediately understood the meaning of "opening up wasteland".

There are many secret realms in Tianfeng Continent. Most of these secret realms are small worlds or stable spaces opened by powerful powers in ancient times. After the owner dies, these small worlds or stable spaces will not disappear, but will be hidden in time and space.

Over time, these small worlds or spaces will appear due to the weakening of the laws, and when discovered by others, they will become so-called secret realms.

"It would be great if we were really allowed to open up wasteland, even if we go to the secret realm. I heard that there are many opportunities to make money in the secret realm. As long as we can find a treasure, we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives." A middle-aged casual cultivator next to him said happily after hearing this .

"I think you are happy too early and have sweet dreams." An old casual cultivator said with a bitter smile.

"Old man, please tell us what the secret land reclamation is all about."

"Okay, let me tell you. I also heard what the older generation said. It is said that after each secret realm is discovered, the space rules inside are unstable at the beginning, so generally only low-level monks can enter. If If a senior monk enters by force, the rules of the space inside will be destroyed, and the secret realm will collapse."

"Then what's the use of letting us in?" someone asked.

"Developing a new secret realm is a very dangerous thing, because the rules inside are disordered, and there are many formations and hidden restrictions. Low-level monks must be allowed to break or explore the path to mark a safe path that can be passed. In other words, we have to use our lives to Go explore the way for them." The old man said, rolling his eyes.

Hearing his words, everyone's hearts suddenly became cold.

"But there is no need to despair. Although treasure hunting in secret realms is extremely dangerous, there is a certain survival rate. In the final analysis, it depends on who has a good life. If you go in with a bad life, you will die. Some people with a good life will die. You will die, but you may get an opportunity and soar into the sky." The old casual cultivator comforted everyone.

"Soaring into the sky? Old man, you don't have to lie to us. They went to great lengths to capture us and force us into a chance to hunt for treasure and make a fortune? Does this make sense? I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!" A middle-aged casual cultivator Hate said.

"Of course what you said makes sense, but what do you think we should do now? Everyone has seen the current situation. If you want to escape, you will die. If you want to resist, you will die. It is also death. It is better to go to the secret realm. Take a gamble." The old casual cultivator said with a bitter smile.

What he said made many people feel refreshed. Yes, maybe he is the one blessed by destiny. Not only will he not die when he gets there, but he will get treasures and change his destiny against the will of heaven.

But after more people knew the truth, they became even more desperate.

Ye Xiaocheng had been debating whether to run away now or find an opportunity to run away later. When he heard the old man say this, he became curious about the secret realm.

Ye Xiaocheng is no stranger to secret realms.

The Lingxiao Sword Sect also has some of its own exclusive secret realms. Every year, people are sent into the secret realms to collect herbs or mines to refine elixirs, magic weapons, and spiritual weapons. As for the so-called treasures, of course there are no such treasures. They have been destroyed for a long time. People dug it out.

Tianfeng Continent also has some famous public secret realms, but they are opened under certain conditions or times. Every time they are opened, the number of places to enter is basically controlled by several sects and families, and they also have to go through layers of internal processes. Only through layer-by-layer selection can the candidates who enter the secret realm be decided.

After several generations of continuous exploration, the safety of these secret realms has been guaranteed. Even so, the mortality rate of elites from various factions who enter the secret realm is still very high every time.

Some were killed by monsters, while others were killed by members of rival sects or families. Dramas such as killing people, seizing treasures, seeking wealth and murder were performed almost all the time in the secret realm.

Ye Xiaocheng's parents are both real Jindan people. When they entered a secret realm called Immortal Ruins, they got a ring. It was said to be the ring of an immortal. After being seen by others, they claimed that it was a ring that could allow people to break through to the gods. The treasure caused a fight between several major factions, and Ye Xiaocheng's parents unfortunately died because of this incident.

This so-called fairy ring is now sealed in Ye Xiaocheng's mind.

Ye Xiaocheng didn't know if this immortal ring had the secret to help people break through to become gods. What he did know was that his parents placed everything on this ring, hoping that this immortal ring could help their son change his life against the will of heaven. Thus embarking on the path of a monk.

Just as he was thinking about it, the spacecraft suddenly stopped.

He looked around and found that he was in front of a hill, surrounded by disciples of the Huangquan Sword Sect.

There were also several spaceships parked nearby, but there were no casual repairmen on the decks of these spaceships, but they were empty.

In the air, more than ten people gathered, including six foundation-building masters, five Jindan masters, and a Nascent Soul ancestor.

In the world of cultivation in Tianfeng Continent, the Qi training period is just the starting point. After cultivating to the foundation, you can be respected as a senior master. The monks in the Golden Core stage are respected as real people. They are truly reborn and completely different from ordinary people. Immortals and mortals are separated forever. Those who have cultivated to the realm of Yuanying are respected as ancestors, and the legendary monks who transform into gods are respected as supreme.

There is also a special realm here, that is, monks in the late Nascent Soul stage are respected as great monks, not ancestors.

This is because the realm of monks in the late Yuanying stage is very different from that of monks in the early and middle stages of Yuanying. They are not at the same level at all. However, they are indeed in the Yuanying stage, so they are taken out separately and honored as great monks.

Seeing the dozen or so people in the air, Ye Xiaocheng knew that he could not escape.

He can deal with the Foundation Establishment monks, no matter how many, but one is too many to deal with Jindan. Even if he has a talisman sword that can kill the Jindan real person with one strike, he may not have a chance to take action, and the opponent If he was prepared, he wouldn't be able to hit anyone. As for dealing with Nascent Soul, it's better to wake up. You can't have this dream, it will be fatal.

But he didn't regret staying. There seemed to be something in this so-called secret realm that was attracting him and beckoning him to enter.

Is there an opportunity in this secret realm that can change its destiny?

Ye Xiaocheng was looking forward to it.

Not long after, another ancestor in the early stage of Nascent Soul arrived riding on an auspicious cloud. Everyone in the sky stepped forward to greet him. Except for the ancestor of Nascent Soul, everyone else stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

Led by two Nascent Soul Ancestors, a group of people entered a building ship parked in the air.

"Brother, how is the situation over there?"

Arriving in the lobby of the building ship, the ancestor of the early Nascent Soul who was previously stationed here asked.

"Still the same as before, the Lingxiao Sword Sect is stubbornly resisting and refuses to hand over the secret of divine transformation in their hands no matter what. We have no good way to deal with their protective formation, so we have to surround them first." Later. The ancestor in the middle stage of Nascent Soul looked a little helpless.

"Then let's go on like this?" asked the ancestor of the early Nascent Soul.

"What else can we do if we don't waste it? You also know how powerful the Lingxiao Sword Sect's protective formation is. Even if we attack hard regardless of casualties, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat it, but it's good to waste it like this. Wait for them to store up When resources are exhausted, they will have to come out and fight us desperately, so it is they who are anxious, not us."

These two people are both supreme elders of the Underworld Demon Sect, the pillars of the sect, and they are also brothers.

The junior brother in the early stage of Yuanying is named Lei Gang, and the senior brother in the middle stage of Yuanying is named Yin Jiao.

It turned out that both of them were in charge of the siege of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Because a secret secret realm was suddenly discovered here, Lei Gang was sent to be responsible for developing the secret realm. This is too important for a sect.

Once a heavyweight treasure is discovered in the secret realm, the sect will be reborn and dominate the world.
