Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms

The secret realm opened quietly overnight, without any sound, and what surprised everyone was that... the location was actually at the border between the worlds of cultivation and the world of demons.

Is this secret realm really for foundation-building disciples to level up and fight monsters?

If not, how could there be a large number of foundation-building disciples breaking through or being promoted?

All kinds of doubts surged into the minds of the leaders, and no one could explain why this happened.

But since the barrier of the secret realm has been opened, we can only break in and take a look.

To be on the safe side and ensure that nothing happened, the disciples entered the secret realm in groups of three or five, accompanying each other.

The secret realm is independent and ownerless, and it is a world of its own, with countless rare treasures, magical instruments, secret manuals, crystal stones and spiritual mines. Only disciples who have successfully passed the training in the secret realm can gain something.

In view of the fact that the disciples' cultivation level is not very high, the difficulty coefficient of the secret realm is not very high. Any disciple who enters the secret realm can get the treasures he wants as long as he practices well, which is as easy as sprinkling water.

The sects that went ahead to take the lead all stood where they were, staring at the gate to the secret realm which was only a hundred meters away in front of them.

It is called a gate, but in fact it is just a large translucent arc-shaped hole that can accommodate four or five people passing through side by side. There is a circle of bright white light emanating from the edge, but it is pitch black and chaotic inside.

The secret realm is open for a very short time, and time is tight, so many people rush in as if they were cramming for an exam.

Xu Luoge received the news from the front and hurriedly asked Bai Li to take Jiang Yuning and several other disciples in the foundation-building stage. Surprisingly, Wen Guangbai also had two disciples, a pair of twin brothers. They also entered the ranks of foundation-building cultivators when the spiritual energy was at its peak a few days ago, so Wen Guangbai also sent them into the secret realm to train.

Unfortunately, the position of Peak Master to lead the team this time fell on Bai Li. Among the four Peak Masters of Jiyue Mountain, he was the only one who did not bring his disciples to the secret realm for trial. This was because he was a crazy person who recluses himself and has never even accompanied his own disciples, let alone others.

Bai Li was dressed in a Xingli-colored outfit, and her black hair was tied up with a white and blue headband from her forehead through her temples, neatly tied into a high ponytail. She was usually used to wearing loose clothes with wide sleeves, and suddenly she changed into this kind of figure-revealing clothes, and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

Xu Luoge sent a voice message to give some instructions. As it was Bai Li's first time to lead disciples to the secret realm, he had to give some brief instructions. For example, disciples must not fight or kill with disciples from other sects, must not take advantage of their status as an immortal to do whatever they want, must protect disciples when in danger, and must not take the lead in escaping.

The most important point is that you cannot trust anyone or anything in this secret realm. The saying "seeing is believing, hearing is false" does not apply here, because you will find that it is useless.

After finishing the long speech, Xu Luoge felt like he was both a mother and a father, worrying about his fellow junior brothers and sisters every day. Ever since his master passed away, Xu Luoge had become the most hardworking and busy man in Jiyue Mountain.

Bai Li first counted the number of people, and after confirming that they were correct, he threw out the Thousand Mile Boat and asked the disciples to leave on the boat. Because the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage could not fly for a long time on swords, and the journey to the secret realm was long, he was afraid that the disciples might not be able to maintain their spiritual power, so he changed his mind after thinking it over.

This was the first time Jiang Yuning saw this kind of flying magical weapon. In the past, he had most seen cultivators flying swords, let alone this kind of top-grade spiritual weapon.

It was the first time for the disciples to come into contact with the Qianli Boat. They all found it novel and interesting. They chattered with joy like little children. None of them wanted to stay in the inner room of the boat, and they all ran to the deck outside, clinging to the railings to overlook the scenery below.

Bai Li sat beside the coffee table in the inner room, brewing a pot of cold-quenched green tea with some fine ice chips settled in it. Summer was here, and a cup of iced green tea would make him feel cool and refreshed. For him, who had the attribute of ice, making these foods icy and refreshing was a piece of cake.

Jiang Yuning stood on the deck and looked around for a while. When he found that his master did not come out with him, he ran back.

The curtain was lifted up, and then a blue figure flashed by. It seemed to be moving very fast, but it stopped in time when it hit Bai Li. The master saw that the figure was delicate and easy to be pushed down, and was afraid that she could not withstand such a brutal impact.

The man looked at the reckless Jiang Yuning with a stunned expression, and couldn't help but said softly: "What's wrong with you? Don't panic when something happens. You can walk quickly, but don't run. Remember this."

The boy scratched his head embarrassedly and said the word "OK" softly.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. It was so hot that the child was even dizzy from the heat.

"Come, try the cold brew tea I made for you and see how it tastes."

The tea art master is online, and Bai Li can't wait to let Jiang Yuning try it.

He took a cup of clear, slightly green tea from the coffee table and handed it to the young man. When their skin touched, Jiang Yuning felt that his master's hand was as warm and soft as a catkin.

The boy didn't know how to drink tea, he just gulped it down. At the end, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said happily, "Master's cooking skills are really good. This tea is cold and delicious."

After receiving praise from his young disciple, Bai Li asked Jiang Yuning to distribute the herbal tea to the disciples outside for tasting.

After arriving at the destination, he led all the disciples of Jiyue Mountain off the Qianli Boat. Disciples from other sects had already entered in groups of three or two.

Apart from Jiyueshan, there were no other elders or immortals from other sects accompanying them, probably because they wanted to train the autonomy and independence of these disciples.

The black hole in front of him was like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to come to it.

Bai Li felt his scalp tingling, not knowing what kind of terrible world and opponent he would have to face.

He guided the others to follow his footsteps and step into the secret realm together.

I thought there would be some kind of terrifying monster with three heads and six arms, green face and fangs, but this secret place turned out to be a peaceful and tranquil scene.

They were in a busy city, with carriages and pedestrians coming and going, shops, restaurants and teahouses everywhere, and a red brick and stone road extending in all directions and stretching into the distance.

Bai Li felt that the scene in front of him was abnormal, even a little weird. This was in the secret realm, not in reality. He inexplicably had the urge to escape from here quickly, but he was afraid that it was the devilish test in the secret realm, so he had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and continued to walk quickly forward with his disciples.

In broad daylight, there were suddenly several unfamiliar faces on the street. The pedestrians ignored them and kept repeating the actions in their hands with the same expression on their faces.

The other two disciples who were slightly older than Jiang Yuning had fear in their eyes at this moment, and they looked tremblingly at the numb and dazed "people" beside them.

"There are only a few of us here. Did we come to the wrong place?"

Bai Li asked himself in confusion, but no one could give him an answer because they didn't know either.

It would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, but as soon as he started talking, there was some noise. When the phantoms who were doing their own things heard the noise made by the man, they changed their appearance completely. They looked exactly like the hideous face with fangs protruding outwards that Bai Li had described.

"Ah!" A shrill and shrill howl suddenly exploded in Bai Li's ears, shocking Bai Li so much that he trembled all over and his hair stood on end. The direction from which the sound came was the two twin brothers hiding behind Jiang Yuning.

The sound was as loud as the heavens and the earth, and it originally attracted only a small group of phantoms, but when these two guys yelled, all the phantoms within a few miles could hear it...

Countless phantoms with bared fangs and claws got on all fours and surrounded the people from different directions.

Jiang Yuning looked at the two teenagers with extreme disgust. They were even more vocal than the girls. He had met the senior sisters in Jiyue Mountain before, but he had never seen one so timid. It was really a disgrace to the male compatriots.

Bai Li summoned Qing Hong and took them to fly high on swords, and emphasized to everyone not to make any noise.

The wind whistled past, blowing the hair, accessories, and headbands of several people up in the wind.

The phantom below saw that there was no target to attack and there was no sound. His face returned to its original appearance and he returned to his position and repeated what he was doing.

Bai Li had excellent eyesight. Among these phantoms, he also saw several disciples from other sects, as well as some independent cultivators without any sect or school. This could be seen from their robes and magical instruments.

The origin of this phantom has not been figured out yet, and these disciples and cultivators have also been assimilated. What is the origin of this secret realm? Is it really just a secret realm for disciples in the foundation-building stage to practice?

There were no answers to all the questions. It seemed that the weakness of the phantom man was that his other side would be triggered by the sound. Bai Li asked several people to hold their breath and landed lightly on a flat ground.

Everything will be fine as long as he keeps quiet. Adhering to the truth that one will die if he doesn't do anything, Bai Li is hesitating in his heart, but he appears calm and composed on the surface.

Damn, I was tricked by this liar Xu Luoge, who said that the risk factor is not high. Judging from the situation, it is not high because none of them can fly.

Baili Qi also entered this secret realm, and he encountered the same scene as Bai Li. This first level was so difficult, so one can imagine what would happen next.

From a distance, I saw four men dressed in Jiuyue mountain clothes. The man in the lead looked very familiar.

These phantom people are actually illusions, and the assimilated disciples are also transformed according to their appearance. If they keep fighting, they will consume their physical and spiritual energy, which is not worth the loss. However, many people will try to rescue them. They can't bear to see their compatriots trapped, so they fall into the tricks and traps of the illusions. Even if they are caught by them, they will not be hurt, and at most there will be a few red marks on their bodies.

Bai Li pulled out his trump card and asked the system in his mind, which was what Xiao Ba had explained to him, asking him to move on to the next level immediately.

Do we really want to leave so many monks alone?

Are these people really created by illusion?

After pondering for a while and still unable to figure out the reason, Bai Li had no choice but to lead everyone into the second level.

The second level is a swampy area filled with miasma. Not only must one be on the lookout for anything that might suddenly come out of the miasma, but one must also be wary of any monsters in the swamp beneath their feet that might grab their ankles.

You can't fly the sword here. It can knock you down even if you're just three meters away from the ground.

This is really fucked...Fuck, a plant.

Several people were walking on a wooden bridge that was less than half a meter wide. There were no guardrails on either side and they could only rely on their own balance to keep themselves steady.

Just when it was about to end, an accident happened.

Baili Qi followed behind them, so he could feel more relaxed.

Jiang Yuning stopped walking. In the eyes of outsiders, he was unconscious, but in his own eyes, he saw Bai Li.

There is a fascinating octopus monster in the swamp. Whoever appears in front of it and keeps staring at its big, kazilan eyes will fall into obsession and be unable to extricate themselves. It will be like sinking into the swamp, and their soul will never be freed for eternity.

The skin is covered with mucus, and there are two bulging white eyes. There are blue ring-shaped halos all over the skin, which are sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. The eight tentacles full of suction cups are dark red.

Obviously, Bai Li and the others also saw this octopus monster. Is this Cthulhu... ?

For people with thalassophobia, suddenly seeing a deep-sea monster is as terrifying as the deep sea itself.

Bai Li was really frightened this time. His face turned pale and his heart was beating wildly as if it was going to burst out of his chest.

At first, Jiang Yuning just stared at the octopus monster with deep affection, but in the end he actually took a step forward and walked towards the monster.

Bai Li overcame the shadow in her heart, rushed forward and loudly warned others not to look directly into the octopus monster's eyes.

He sent some disciples away and asked them to leave first, while he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

With one slash of the sword, the sword energy cut through the air. The octopus monster sensed the extreme danger, and its eight tentacles rolled up a large wave of swamp mud.

It bounced back the sword energy and spiritual power like a shield.

The octopus monster was angered by Bai Li's sudden attack and immediately changed its target, focusing on Bai Li.

At this time, Bai Li had already covered his eyes with a thin silk ribbon, making him unable to see.

Now we can only listen to the sound and locate the target to launch the attack.

Jiang Yuning regained consciousness, and he joined forces with two other disciples to lend a helping hand to Bai Li. Several spiritual powers of different colors gushed out from his palms.

Bai Li flew to the sky above the octopus monster, turned around and slashed the monster's head with the sword. The two fought fiercely.

When people are extremely frightened, they will become extremely violent and angry, fearing nothing.

Three of the octopus' tentacles were cut off, and several holes as big as buckets were poked in its head. The pain made it roll and thrash in the swamp, stirring up large amounts of dirty mud and dirt spots. Inky blood gushed out, and it died in a moment.

A black, round bead rose from the swamp, turned twice in the air, and then rolled automatically into Bai Li's hand.

Baili Qi stared at the bead with great envy. It was a Jiyuan bead that could gather souls and spirits, and bring mortal cultivators back to life. It was of great use.

Jiang Yuning and the Zheng brothers strode over, "Master, Master, are you okay?"

The young man walked around Bai Li and looked at him carefully. His master was fine, but he was in trouble.

The tight-fitting suit clearly outlined the man's figure, his slender waist, his perky butt, and his straight legs. Jiang Yuning was so fascinated by it that her mouth was dry.

It is not advisable to stay here for long. I thought there was only an octopus monster here, but I didn’t expect there were more monsters to come.

Countless vines covered with fine hair suddenly emerged from the depths of the miasma. Although the vines had no eyes, they could accurately aim at the direction of the crowd.

Just as everyone was taking a defensive stance, the vine suddenly changed direction and flew straight towards Baili Qi.

Only then did Bai Li notice that there was someone following them.

Baili Qi's cultivation level was at most the middle stage of foundation building. This vine was like an lsp. After binding the man tightly, the other vines actually touched and played with his body.

"Hmm~Help...Help me!"

A feeling of suffocation filled his entire chest, and the lack of oxygen to his brain caused his cheeks to turn red and he gasped heavily.

Bai Li set up a barrier on the spot to protect Jiang Yuning and the others, and then flew towards the vine spirit that was interested in male beauty.

Zero degree cold! With a loud shout, a huge ice spirit ball condensed in the palm of his hand, and he hit the vines that were still wriggling. Seeing this, the vines quickly retracted. With a loud "bang", the branches that did not have time to retract into the miasma were frozen and exploded, and finally turned into powder.

"My fellow Taoist, are you okay?"

A faint scent of peach blossoms penetrated into Baili Qi's nostrils. He looked at Bai Li, whose hair was a little messy, and then looked at his own disheveled self. After tidying up his clothes, he lowered his eyes and thanked Bai Li.

Jiang Yuning took a lot of effort to break the barrier. The scene just now was extremely thrilling. If he was dragged in by the vines, it would be difficult to escape.

This year's foundation-building secret realm is as difficult as hell!

"Master! Master!" the young man shouted as if he had lost his mind.

Bai Li said that what he just said today was in vain. He sighed and said, "Look at you. Did you forget what your master said as soon as you turned around? No matter at any time, no matter how urgent the situation is, please do not be rash or shout. Also... your master has cleared the obstacles for you in this level. The rest of the levels are up to you to pass. Your master shall not interfere anymore."

The last level may be difficult or easy. The most important thing is how you look at it. Everything has a complicated side. For many things, you place high expectations on them and think that the results will be good. But in the end, it turns out to be beyond your expectations and the results develop in a bad direction. However, some things that you have no hope for are more likely to succeed.

As a life mentor and sex education teacher, it is important to have a good speaking ability.

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Baili Qi again. "Fellow Daoist, are you willing to come with us? It's really dangerous to be alone here."

Baili Qi pondered for a moment and agreed to Bai Li's request.
