Thousand River Mystic Realm

“Thanks Martial Uncle Yun for the gift,” Jiang Chengxuan promptly bowed to
Yun Yizhen in gratitude, who responded with a smile.
At the same time.
Qin Shenwu took out a hexagonal crystal, its surface swirling with traces of lightning, from his possession.
Yun Yizhen’s face showed surprise upon seeing this crystal.
“Void Thunder Crystal!”
A slight smile appeared on Qin Shenwu’s lips.
“Am I that kind of a person who takes advantage of others?
Here, this Void Thunder Crystal is a welcoming gift for my disciple’s Dao companion.”
He then handed the crystal to Shen Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan looked towards her own Shifu, Yun Yizhen, who nodded with a smile,
“Accept it. This is a treasure of great benefit to us thunder cultivators.
It can help you better understand the rules of the void and thereby comprehend Void Thunder.
I suppose, Brother Qin, this must be the only Void Thunder Crystal you have left, right?”
“Heh, you need not worry about that.
Even if I have no more Void Thunder Crystals, I still have plenty of similar treasures,” Qin Shenwu responded, unbothered.
“Haha.”
Yun Yizhen chuckled lightly.
On the other side, Shen Ruyan, just like Jiang Chengxuan, immediately thanked
Qin Shenwu upon receiving the Void Thunder Crystal.
“Good.”
Qin Shenwu nodded slightly, “You are much more sensible than some of
Brother Yun’s other disciples.”
It was unclear whether his comment was genuinely heartfelt or because Shen Ruyan was his disciple Jiang Chengxuan’s Dao companion.
He then turned to Jiang Chengxuan,
“Chengxuan, take your Dao companion for a tour around our Haoran Sect.
Brother Yun, your Sect Master, and I have some matters to discuss.
“Yes, Shifu!”
Jiang Chengxuan promptly responded, and soon after, he and Shen Ruyan departed from the reception peak.
Once Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had left, Yun Yizhen turned to Qin
Shenwu and Xue Ping, the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, with a serious expression and said,
“Fellow Daoists, the Thousand River Secret Realm will open in another hundred years.
Have you decided which disciples you will send in?”
Upon hearing Yun Yizhen’s words, both Qin Shenwu and Xue Ping also showed seriousness.
Xue Ping replied, “We haven’t fully decided yet.
Based on the current situation of our Haoran Sect, the number of disciples who can enter the Thousand River Secret Realm will likely be limited.
After all, each person can only enter the secret realm once in their lifetime. Moreover, the older you are when you enter, the more dangerous it becomes.
Our lack of understanding in the past led to heavy casualties among the disciples who entered.”
Pausing for a moment, Xue Ping then looked at Yun Yizhen and asked, “Brother Yun, has the Thunderclap Valley already decided on who will enter this time?”
He was well aware that the Thousand River Secret Realm represented a significant opportunity for all cultivators below Void Returning in the entire Celestial Floodgate Realm.
However, with greater opportunities came greater risks.
The secret realm contained many dangers, and a cultivator could easily be trapped there forever.
Furthermore, since the secret realm was managed jointly by all the super and overlord forces of the Celestial Floodgate Realm, the competition inside was fierce once it opened.
Participants often turned on each other, making it a battleground of mutual hunting and killing.
So.
Every opening of the Thousand River Secret Realm resulted in heavy losses for the sects’ disciples.
However, they were compelled to send their members into the secret realm because of the unique treasures it contained, which were otherwise unattainable.
For instance, the Haoran Sect’s Mystic Sky Cave, a treasure that could simulate combat, was obtained from the Thousand River Secret Realm, as was the Thunderclap Valley’s Lightning Tribulation Pool, which could simulate lightning tribulation.
Additionally, other places like the Inner Demon Mountain, Death Peak, and Enlightenment Cliff, all originated from the Thousand River Secret Realm.
Of course.
Not every expedition into the realm yielded treasures.
But without sending disciples into the Thousand River Secret Realm, there’s no chance of obtaining anything.
Over time, the gap in resources between sects could widen significantly.
This was something that no super sect or even overlord sect could accept. Suddenly, Yun Yizhen proposed, “What do you think about letting my disciple and her Dao companion also join this expedition into the Thousand River Secret Realm?”
Upon hearing this suggestion, both Xue Ping and Qin Shenwu’s expressions became serious.
Especially Qin Shenwu, his brows were deeply furrowed.
At this moment, there was no playfulness in him. Instead, he looked extremely solemn.
Sect Master Xue Ping also turned his gaze towards Qin Shenwu.
Even though Xue Ping, as the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect with a cultivation level at Dao Integration, had the authority to decide many matters within the sect with just a word, this particular issue, involving Qin Shenwu’s direct disciple, ultimately depended on Qin Shenwu’s decision.
“If I remember correctly, both of them are quite young, right?”
Qin Shenwu finally spoke up after a moment of contemplation.
Yun Yizhen nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, my disciple Ruyan is very young.
This is precisely why I suggested they also participate in the expedition to the Thousand River Secret Realm.
As you all know, the younger a person is when entering the Thousand River Secret Realm, the higher the chance of obtaining valuable treasures.
While sending disciples with lower cultivation levels and younger ages increases the chance of securing valuable items, experiences from past expeditions have proven that those below the mid-stage of Soul Formation hardly survive until the closure of the realm.”
With that said, Yun Yizhen, along with Xue Ping, awaited Qin Shenwu’s response.
After a while.
Qin Shenwu slowly said, “Letting them go to the Thousand River Secret Realm is not out of the question.
However, before entering the realm, they must pass through the third level of the Mystic Sky Cave.
If they cannot even pass the third level of the Mystic Sky Cave, then the likelihood of facing fatal dangers in the Thousand River Secret Realm will be incredibly high, and I would not recommend their participation.” “Pass the third level of the Mystic Sky Cave?”
Yun Yizhen was immediately alert upon hearing Qin Shenwu s response.
He was well aware of the significance of the Mystic Sky Cave, a treasure obtained from the Thousand River Secret Realm by the Haoran Sect.
If they could indeed challenge the Mystic Sky Cave before entering the Thousand River Secret Realm and pass its third level, the risks they faced within the secret realm would significantly decrease.
With the strength required to overcome the third level of the Mystic Sky Cave, they would be well-equipped to handle most dangers within the secret realm. “As for the contribution points required to enter the Mystic Sky Cave, I’ll cover them for now.
Junior Brother Sect Master, what do you think?”
Qin Shenwu said, directing his gaze towards Xue Ping.
