When Han Ye stood up again.
Before him was an open expanse of another world, with towering mountains that reached a kilometer high, touching the sky.
As far as the eye could see, there was one every hundred meters.
The surrounding atmosphere was very dry, and a touch of dark red topped the distant mountain peak, emanating a wave of heat as if from a volcano.
“Indeed, there’s no one around, but the climate inside the Golden Cicada Secret Realm is harsher than I imagined.”
Han Ye extended his spiritual sense and continued toward the mountain peaks. The temperature in the air was increasing, and the rocks were scorching hot.
Luckily, he had purchased a Cold Soul Bead in advance. With the bead around his neck, he felt no heat at all, instead, it was significantly refreshing.
The Golden Cicada Secret Realm, once a Daoist arena of immortals, inevitably has its peculiarities. It is home to many powerful exotic creatures, and it contains abundant precious minerals and medicinal herbs. The reason it is only open once every ten years is to let the spiritual medicines grow back.
Han Ye thought the majority of the inheritance must have been taken by those who arrived earlier. Besides the rare spiritual medicines, there shouldn’t be many opportunities left.
While he was flying through the air on his sword, he held a green wood chip in his hand. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
His master had specially left a mark on this object. If he follows the guidance of the wood chip, he could find Chu Xianyu and Da Niu.
Just, the position where he was teleported this time seemed to be a bit remote.
So far, he hadn’t seen a single cultivator.
It was good not to have seen one, seeing one would mean one more competitor, which wouldn’t be a good thing.
Two hours later, Han Ye stopped and gazed into the distance.
There was a shiny lake in the distance.
Sparkling water ripples surged on the green lake, creating layer upon layer of ripples. Under the blue sky, the green lake appeared as beautiful as an immortal pool.
“How can there be a river in such a hot and dry place?”
Based on their time of death, they had been dead for decades.
The bones in their chests had been pierced by a sharp blade with blood all over.
“Could these be... disciples from the sect who had previously entered the Golden Cicada Secret Realm?” Han Ye muttered to himself.
Although the Golden Cicada Secret Realm is a fully developed realm, it still has hidden treasures and adventures unfound by anyone.
These skeletons might have been left behind shortly after the realm was discovered.
“This place is filled with many harmful miasmas, and carelessness could lead to death. If inhaled, it induces hallucinations to confuse the intruder.”
Han Ye raised an eyebrow, his eyes resembling a fox as he clearly saw the path ahead.
He released a strand of Karma Lotus True Fire to clear off the malicious miasma in the surrounding area, and then proceeded forward.
Soon, he reached the end of the cave.
There was a bulging rock wall, completely covered in dense runes.
Han Ye touched it with his hand and immediately sensed a familiar aura.
“This is... a seal?” A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
After carefully examining it for a long time, he confirmed that it was indeed a seal. However, the seal had been covered in dust for many years and seemed to be of no great use.
He had assumed there would be some precious treasures inside; it appeared things didn’t go as smoothly as imagined. Perhaps whatever was inside had been long taken away by others.
Han Ye returned to the bottom of the lake, disappointed, and looked at the lake floor, which had become hot once again.
But he was surprised to find several bright three-leafed small plants. Looking around, they were all over the lake bed.
Each three-leafed plant emitted a strong heat, releasing an overwhelming temperature. Han Ye immediately understood that the lake was boiling and hot because of these plants.
He recalled a book he had read in the sect and suddenly remembered the name of this bright red plant.
“Three-leaf Scorching Qi Grass.”
Standing at the bottom of the lake, Han Ye was ecstatic; it was the Three-leaf Scorching Qi Grass, such a rare spiritual herb! He couldn’t find a single plant in the entire Qingyun Immortal Mountain because the environment there could not support its growth..
