I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 166: Entering the Secret Realm, Divination Activated

The reason Fu Ning chose the "Big Fish" as his emblem is partly because it is easy to remember, and partly because of Yun Niang.

Perhaps Yun Niang, upon seeing the emblem, would be able to recognize it as her own.

Because of the Three Mountains Competition, the three factions were secretly competing against each other.

Therefore, the disciples of the Three Mountains separated and fought on their own.

Fu Ning could only gaze at Yun Niang from a distance through the crowd.

The noisy voices of the disciples were soon interrupted by a few light coughs from Black Feather Scenic Master.

His eyes were originally small, but now they were squeezed into narrow slits by the fat on his face, with only a pair of bright lights shining through.

"The second round of the competition... begins!"

As he gave the order, the disciples took out their tokens one after another.

Naturally, Fu Ning was no exception.

He had long been interested in this "White Turtle Diagram," so he naturally did not hesitate.

The front of the token was engraved with the "Spirit Turtle" totem, and the back was the "Spirit Turtle" totem.

According to Black Feather Scenic Master's instructions, he infused Origin Qi into the token. In an instant, the "Spirit Turtle" totem lit up, and soon a burst of light erupted from the token, and the figure disappeared.

In just a few breaths, there were only three Scenic Masters left on the field.

Black Feather Scenic Master scanned the area, his face showing a hint of anticipation. "I wonder how many people will be able to hold on until the end."

"Hold on until the end?" Red Sun Scenic Master sneered, "What's so difficult about that? The real challenge is deciphering the mechanisms in the Secret Realm."

After saying that, he pursed his lips and looked towards the floating scroll not far away.

"This is a rare opportunity."

...

Fu Ning suddenly felt a bright light in front of him, and a wave of dizziness came from his sea of consciousness.

This feeling was somewhat similar to when he used the "Jambu Vortex."

After a few seconds, the dizziness slowly faded away, replaced by a green scenery that filled his eyes.

"What a big tree!"

Fu Ning widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked around.

He appeared under a huge banyan tree, with lush branches and leaves, and the roots intertwined like a small mountain when standing under the tree.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a jungle."

Fu Ning licked his lips and his gaze wandered into the distance along the banyan tree.

Not only behind him, but also in all directions, there was an impenetrable jungle.

Rustle~

A gust of wind blew, causing the leaves on the tree to sway.

Fu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't rush to step out.

In his previous life, he had been to the jungle and knew best how many hidden dangers lay in this seemingly calm place.

"Hoo~"

Since this Secret Realm was created by the "Old White Turtle" and the "Old White Turtle" was skilled in formation mechanisms, it meant that it was definitely not as calm as it appeared.

After observing for a while, Fu Ning finally withdrew his gaze.

This jungle seemed no different from the outside world, but he always felt that something was missing.

But if he had to say what was missing, he couldn't put it into words.

After a moment of hesitation, Fu Ning directly activated his Inner Scenic Diagram, "Divination."

And this time, he asked a more cautious question: the place of safety.

As a crimson leaf turned into a fiery flame in mid-air, three cracks appeared in the inner scene.

The three cracks had different directions and sizes, but they all had one common characteristic: they were extremely winding.

Each path seemed to have many twists and turns.

Fu Ning only glanced at them and chose the one with the fewest twists and turns and the closest distance.

According to Red Sun Scenic Master, there were both dangers and opportunities in the Secret Realm.

Whether it was a test or an opportunity, for Fu Ning, who always adhered to the principle of "survival is victory," none of them were as important as "safety."

Red Sun Scenic Master said that in case of danger, one can directly crush the token to teleport out, which means that danger can occur at any time inside.

Apart from the dangers within the Secret Realm itself, there are also dangers from fellow disciples.

After all, the number of disciples who pass the test is limited, and every reduction in number counts.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, one must first find a safe place to settle.

The jungle is dense with no paths in between.

Following the guidance of the Inner Scenic Diagram, a new path must be opened with every step forward, so Fu Ning's progress is slow.

At regular intervals, he also leaves marks of the "big fish" around him.

He guessed that the winding path indicated by the "divination" is probably to avoid formations and traps within the Secret Realm.

"I wonder where Senior Zhou and the others will arrive?"

After Fu Ning turned another corner, he stopped to observe.

Just as he was about to continue forward, he suddenly heard a chirping sound.

"Birdsong?"

Fu Ning's eyes lit up.

Since he entered this jungle, he had felt that it was different from the outside, and it was not until now that he heard the bird's call that he suddenly realized.

This jungle is too quiet!

Apart from trees, there is nothing else. Although it looks vibrant, it lacks vitality.

And the bird's call seems extremely abrupt.

"There's something wrong with this bird's call!"

In an instant, Fu Ning followed the sound with his eyes.

"Flutter~"

Where the sound came from, there was no shadow of any bird, only a branch shaking incessantly.

"It ran away?"

As Red Sun Scenic Master said, this Secret Realm hides opportunities.

Any slight movement could be a sign of opportunity.

At this moment, Fu Ning focused his gaze and found that the little bird had already disappeared.

And the direction it flew in was exactly the opposite of the "divination" result.

After a moment of hesitation, Fu Ning withdrew his gaze and continued to follow the "divination" result.

Safety comes first when traveling the world.

With the trees blocking his way, Fu Ning's speed was already slow, and coupled with the winding path, his speed became even slower.

In this way, after taking another ten steps forward, he suddenly heard another bird's call.

After hearing it, Fu Ning once again stopped and followed the sound.

But just like last time, the little bird was too alert and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the branch swaying.

"Hmm? It ran away again?"

Looking in the direction of the branch, it was indeed the opposite of the safe route indicated by the "divination".

Fu Ning seemed to have thought of something, then looked around and continued to insist on following the safe route indicated by the "divination".

But this time, after only walking four or five steps forward, he once again heard the chirping sound of the little bird.

This time, Fu Ning was stunned for a moment, and a hint of doubt flashed across his face: "Is it a coincidence?"

It seemed as if the bird was deliberately attracting his attention.

His gaze shifted, and his innate talent of "speed and slowness" had the ability of dynamic vision.

Although his talent of "speed and slowness" was only at level one, it still allowed Fu Ning to see the culprit bird.

The little bird was only the size of a fist, with its feathers a dull gray, and only its beak was a bright yellow.

"So fast!"

With the blessing of the "speed and slowness" ability, he not only saw the appearance of the little bird, but also saw that it seemed to be holding something in its beak.

It vaguely looked like a blade of grass.

And when Fu Ning saw the blade of grass, he froze. The blade of grass was only the length of a finger, entirely green, with a black flower bud on top.

"Shadow Moon Grass!"
