Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 156

Chapter 156 A strange sound

It was noon.

The group of four set out.

The Ancient Wood Secret Realm was not far from the Yellow Crane Immortal City .

Numerous wandering cultivators entered to explore it almost daily.

Since the emergence of this ancient secret realm, many have discovered wood-related treasures within, hence the name “Ancient Wood.”

Li Changan held a map of the Ancient Wood Secret Realm,

given to him by Tang Suran.

The map marked numerous traps and dangerous areas, as well as various previously explored caves and ruins.

Huang Feng was at the front of the group.

Clad in a black robe, his entire body concealed, he exuded a chilling aura, and his appearance revealed him to be a typical Tribulation Cultivator.

“Three of you, we’re about to enter the Black Dragon Mountains. Be careful.”

“Okay.”

The entrance to the Ancient Wood Secret Realm was within the Black Dragon Mountains.

Although it was only on the outermost edge, caution was still advised.

Every year, many cultivators died on the journey to the secret realm.

“Such a strong demonic aura.”

Li Changan sensed the alarming demonic energy upon entering the Black Dragon Mountains, and

he was secretly terrified.

These demonic auras seemed to have merged with the entire mountain range.

Furthermore, there were a tangled auras of blood, murder, and death, all tangled together, overwhelming them almost instantly.

A timid cultivator

entering the Black Dragon Mountains for the first time would likely be too frightened to venture further.

Fortunately, Li Changan and his three companions had experienced the world before. Each of them, undeterred, transformed into four streams of light, streaking through the mountain.

The deeper they went, the stronger the strange and frenzied aura grew.

The entire mountain range was a dark brown.

It was rumored

that this color was saturated with the blood of human cultivators and demonic beasts. They

had only advanced a short distance

when they encountered a surprise attack from a demonic beast.

“Crack!”

Huang Feng slashed with a single blow, decapitating the beast.

“A mere mid-stage first-level demonic beast, dares to attack me?”

He snorted coldly, storing the remains in his storage bag.

The demonic beasts in this area seemed to be frantic. Even after sensing the four men’s powerful aura, they still dared to charge and kill.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an paused.

He wasn’t attacked by a demonic beast, but rather discovered a spiritual herb.

“Iron Blood Ganoderma, a first-grade, mid-grade spiritual herb, considered a precious Qi and blood medicine, of average value. A piece of this quality might fetch over twenty spirit stones.”

In the past, he would have been ecstatic to find such a precious herb.

But now, it was just a small accident.

Jin Mu took a look and smiled.

“Fellow Daoist Li is truly blessed, having found a spiritual herb right after entering the mountains. It seems we’ll have to take advantage of your good fortune on this trip.”

In the world of immortal cultivation, there’s a concept called luck.

Cultivators with great luck often encounter opportunities.

A random stone kicked by the side of the road could be a priceless gem.

Traveling with a cultivator with great luck

often benefits from this luck.

“It’s just a coincidence,”

Li Chang’an replied with a smile, bowing.

The four of them didn’t pause for long, continuing their journey, transforming into four streams of light as they approached the entrance to the Ancient Wood Secret Realm.

There were no other unexpected incidents along the way.

About a quarter of an hour later,

they arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.

It was a waterfall hundreds of feet high, like a roaring silver dragon hanging from the cliffs. The roar of the water could be heard from afar.

“The entrance to the Ancient Wood Secret Realm is just behind this waterfall. I’m sure this isn’t your first time here,”

Huang Feng said. With a flash of his foot, he plunged into the waterfall and

vanished in an instant.

The brothers Jin Mu and Jin Ze did the same, entering the waterfall.

This was indeed not their first time in the Ancient Wood Secret Realm.

But this was Li Changan’s first time.

Fortunately,

he had already researched information about this ancient secret realm and showed no signs of unusual activity. He plunged into the waterfall without hesitation.

“It’s just as described.”

A dark and deep passage appeared before Li Changan.

The surrounding stone walls were cold, covered in inscriptions left by various cultivators.

Without stopping, the four of them sped along the dark passage at breakneck speed.

After about thirty breaths,

Li Changan’s vision suddenly opened.

“We’re here!”

At the end of the passage lay another world!

From afar ,

the sky and earth were shrouded in darkness.

Underneath, dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder flashed continuously, like giant silver snakes slithering through the thunderclouds.

Countless ancient trees dotted the land, each with its branches twisted in a strange way, resembling, at first glance, the figures of struggling humans.

Upon entering this world,

Li Changan felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if he were being suffocated.

As he moved, countless invisible chains seemed to shackle his body,

causing him extreme discomfort.

“This oppressive feeling is just as described in the outside world,”

Li Chang’an said, showing no signs of abnormality.

Beyond this oppressive feeling,

a thick, bloody aura lingered between heaven and earth, even thicker than the Black Dragon Mountains outside, so thick it was nauseating.

Furthermore,

there was a faint air of sadness and sorrow.

“Strange! Where does this sadness come from? There’s no such record in the outside world’s reports of this secret realm.”

Li Chang’an frowned, wary.

Just then,

a woman’s voice, erratic and distant, suddenly echoed in his ears.

“Didn’t I tell you to leave? Why are you back?”

Li Chang’an was startled.

He glanced around, but saw no one else.

The other three noticed his unusual behavior and stopped in their tracks.

Jin Mu, with a look of alarm, asked in a deep voice, “Friend Li, have you detected any danger?”

“No,”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly.

He scanned the area again, confirming that no one else was around, not even a demonic beast.

“Three of you, did you hear any sound?”

“A sound?”

The three looked at each other, all puzzled.

Seeing them like this,

Li Changan immediately realized that he was the only one who heard the sound.

“Don’t overthink it, three of you. Perhaps I’m hallucinating.”

“Yes, it happens all the time,”

Huang Feng echoed.

Over the years, cultivators have occasionally experienced visions within the secret realm.

Some have witnessed the apocalyptic collapse of heaven and earth, while others have witnessed devastating battles between immortals. Some

even

claim to have traveled back to ancient times and conversed with ancient cultivators.

These visions vary from person to person.

They are all recorded in the outside world.

Therefore, the three did not find it strange, but simply reminded Li Changan to be more cautious.

“Friend Li, if you see anything unusual or hear any strange sounds, please tell us immediately,”

Huang Feng warned.

He said the same to the other two.

In the secret realm, only by traveling together can one go further.

If alone, it is easy to get lost in the mysteries, eventually falling into madness and even death.
