I conquer the immortal with my strength

"The cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul are indeed extraordinary. The changes in my Dantian can actually arouse their awareness. It seems that it is much more difficult to sneak attack a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul than a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. I guess he will be able to sense my killing intent and changes in my aura before I even get close."

When the four people turned their heads away, Xia Daoming felt a chill in his heart.

“It’s time!”

Soon, a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage wearing a tall crown spoke.

This cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage is Xiao Han, the supreme elder of Xuanyin Island.

Ever since Xuanyin Island failed miserably in its exploration of the Xuanwu secret realm a thousand years ago and suffered heavy damage to its vitality, there hasn’t been a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator on Xuanyin Island for a thousand years.

As soon as Xiao Han opened his mouth, two Jindan cultivators, a man and a woman, came out.

They each held a bottle in their hands.

The bottle slowly rose into the air, with its mouth facing upside down at the shadow of the black tortoise shrouded in black mist.

A man and a woman were chanting something, it was an ancient language.

To Xia Daoming it sounded like a sacrificial oration.

As the sacrificial text sounded between heaven and earth, blood spilled from the bottle onto the phantom of Xuanwu.

The shadow of the Black Tortoise got the blood and seemed to come alive, with an extremely vicissitudes of life aura emanating from it.

As this breath spread, the sea water under the black fog began to swirl.

The whirlpool extends more than two thousand feet into the sea.

At the end of the vortex, a portal appeared.

There is a basalt pattern on the portal.

"Xuanwu carries Yin and embraces Yang, and has both Yin and Yang natures. This entrance and exit portal also has Yin and Yang sides. There is only one entrance portal to the secret realm. Once it appears, it can only last for two hours, and then it will disappear. You can never come out of this portal again.

After forty-nine days, multiple exit portals will randomly appear in different places in the outer area of ​​the Xuanwu Secret Realm. That will be the time for you to leave.

So far, there is no record of a portal to leave the depths of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, so I would like to advise all Taoist friends to return to the outer area after 49 days."

Xiao Han saw the Xuanwu portal appear and specifically spoke up to remind people.

Naturally, everyone already knew this information. Although Xiao Han's reminder seemed redundant, he was actually reminding everyone that this Xuanwu Secret Realm belonged to their Xuanyin Island.

"Thank you, Daoist Fellow Xiao, for the reminder!"

"Thank you, Senior Xiao!"

Everyone bowed.

Xiao Han nodded contentedly and said, "Now that the Xuanwu portal is revealed, let's all go in!"

After saying that, Xiao Han led more than a dozen Jindan disciples from Xuanyin Island into the whirlpool.

After the people from Xuanyin Island came the Nascent Soul cultivators and the Jindan cultivators they brought with them, and then Xia Daoming and the other Jindan cultivators who were not led by Nascent Soul cultivators.

After stepping into the vortex more than a hundred feet away, some Jindan cultivators began to circulate their true energy and magical powers.

After reaching a thousand feet, some Jindan cultivators could no longer help but use their magic weapons to block the ubiquitous water pressure and the cold air that was drilling into their pores.

As the whirlpool reached nearly two thousand feet, more than thirty early Jindan cultivators who had been eager and full of expectations finally became frightened and returned one after another.

When the vortex reached below two thousand feet, not only did more than ten early Jindan cultivators leave, but even the confidence of middle Jindan cultivators began to waver, and eight of them left one after another.

Because according to records, the Xuanwu Secret Realm is also filled with terrifying pressure and coldness that is everywhere, even slightly worse than the bottom of the whirlpool.

Now, they have no choice but to use their magic weapons to fight back before they even enter the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

Of course, now they are just using a little magic power to fight back, which does not consume much true energy and magic power.

But the problem is that once you enter the Xuanwu Secret Realm, you have to wait for 49 days for the exit portal to reappear.

The continuous consumption for 49 days is definitely a terrifying number.

Not to mention the dangerous environment and fighting for opportunities that one will encounter in the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

In this case, even if they were lucky enough to find an opportunity, their true energy and magical power would most likely not be enough to support the reappearance of the portal.

Watching more than fifty Jindan cultivators leave one after another, the remaining Jindan cultivators all had solemn expressions.

In fact, whether they are in the early or late Jindan stage, they are still cultivators of the same level.

Unlike Nascent Soul cultivators, their strength and methods have undergone breakthroughs and transformations, and have completely surpassed their level.

Therefore, the departure of so many Jindan cultivators, even those in the middle Jindan stage, caused great psychological pressure on the Jindan cultivators who chose to stay.

Xia Daoming mixed in with a group of early and middle Jindan cultivators. He had already sacrificed a treasure mirror with a broken corner and hung it above his head. Silver light hung down and transformed into layers of silver scales that surrounded him.

This precious mirror with a missing corner is exactly the Silver Scale Mirror.

More than a year ago, he had a battle with Master Ma Ling. Master Ma Ling borrowed the power of his Nascent Soul to fight back, and chopped off a corner of his weapon with one blow, turning it into a broken magic weapon.

Xia Daoming had not had time to repair it yet, so now is a perfect time to come and enjoy the occasion.

Sure enough, when the surrounding Jindan cultivators saw Xia Daoming offering up the broken magic weapon and saw that he looked extremely solemn, they couldn't help but look at him with a hint of contempt.

No one knew that Xia Daoming was not frightened but secretly delighted when he saw the great pressure and the terrifying coldness all around him.

He has a strong physique and surging blood, so this kind of pressure and coldness are nothing to him. On the contrary, if he stays in this kind of environment for a long time, it will be like using fire to refine his body, which can actually have the effect of tempering and strengthening his physique.

Unlike the cultivators who practice Qi Refining, even the Nascent Soul cultivators, who appear calm and unaffected by the external environment, actually have to allocate a portion of their true essence and magic power to protect their physical bodies at all times.

"Ren Xiaoyao is right. In this environment, it would be good if a Jindan cultivator could display 40% to 50% of his abilities. However, the physical body of a Yuanying cultivator is much stronger than that of a Jindan cultivator. It should not be as exaggerated as Ren Xiaoyao said. In this environment, he should be able to display 90% of his abilities.

The biggest threat to Nascent Soul cultivators is the special restrictions deep in the secret realm. That is my only chance to compete with Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators. In this environment, I can only compete with Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators."

While secretly delighted, Xia Daoming analyzed the situation calmly and did not become relaxed or arrogant.

People arrived at the gate one after another holding the Xuanwu tokens.

There was a mysterious connection between the Xuanwu token and the Xuanwu portal. A wisp of blood rose from the Xuanwu token, and a Xuanwu shadow could be seen lingering around the person holding the token.

With this phantom lingering around, the license holder can enter the Xuanwu portal passage unimpeded.

Soon, Xia Daoming also passed through the Xuanwu portal.

As soon as you step into the Xuanwu Secret Realm, the scene before you suddenly changes.

What comes into view is an icy world ravaged by cold winds.

The sky here is gray, the earth and mountains are black, and even the frozen rivers are black.

Xuanwu is both mysterious and dark. Xuan means black and dark means yin.

But in this cold and frozen world filled with black tones, Xia Daoming keenly felt a hint of nascent vitality.

This place is different from the coldness and gloom in the Killing Cave and the Ghost Abyss.

Those two places are truly evil places of death, emitting the aura of death and the underworld everywhere, making people feel fear and despair.

The coldness here is giving birth to life.

Just like winter, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen, but the vitality of spring is brewing beneath the earth.

When the cold winter passes, spring comes and flowers bloom. Seeds break through the soil and life is full of vitality everywhere.

"Carrying the Yin and embracing the Yang, the Yin reaches its extreme and the Yang is born. No wonder the Xuanwu Secret Realm grows the turtle and snake spiritual herbs that can help the Nascent Soul cultivators increase their lifespan by sixty years, and the Liangyi Yuan Fruit that is very useful for breaking through the elixir and becoming a Nascent Soul..." Feeling the vitality hidden under the coldness, Xia Daoming's heart was burning. He looked around, and his pupils quietly turned golden.

After seeing this, Xia Daoming's eyes narrowed quickly, and he felt surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that this Xuanwu Secret Realm was indeed full of dangers. Just by looking around, not only did he discover many broken restrictions, but even moving space cracks. If he was not careful and triggered the restrictions, he would still have a chance to break through the restrictions and get out. However, if he accidentally touched the space cracks, there would be basically no return.

The good news is that his clairvoyance has been cultivated to the second level, and he can see through hidden restrictions and moving space cracks in advance. Not only that, when he looks around with his clairvoyance, he can also see some changes in the energy of heaven and earth in this secret realm, which is a great help to him in his search for opportunities.

Compared to Xia Daoming's secret surprise and delight, most of the Jindan cultivators had gloomy faces and a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Obviously, in a short period of time, they would not be able to keenly sense the vitality nurtured under the cold.

The scene here gave them a feeling of being dead, desolate, and that there was no chance of finding any opportunity at all.

However, as soon as the Nascent Soul cultivators stepped into the secret realm, their eyebrows raised and their eyes lit up. They first looked around, then narrowed their eyes slightly, and their spiritual thoughts reached out in all directions like tentacles to feel the changes in the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

Then the Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to have noticed something, and they all headed towards the left side of the portal.

However, their speed was not fast, and no one of them took the approach of flying with a flying treasure.

The moving space cracks are basically all in the sky. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator is confident of his powerful spiritual sense, he would never dare to fly in the air easily.

Seeing the Nascent Soul cultivator leave, the Golden Core cultivators quickly dispersed as well.

Most people avoided the direction where the Nascent Soul cultivator left.

Only a few late Jindan cultivators went in the direction where the Yuanying cultivators left.

Xia Daoming pondered it over and decided to go in a different direction from the Nascent Soul cultivator.

The purpose of the Nascent Soul cultivators coming in this time was very clear, they were going to the depths of the secret realm to find elixirs that could help increase their lifespans, or help them improve their cultivation or even break through bottlenecks.

Therefore, they disdain and are unwilling to waste time with the Jindan cultivators in the vast outer areas of the secret realm.

But Xia Daoming is different.

His biggest goal is the Black Tortoise Blood Bead, followed by various precious elixirs that can help improve his cultivation. As for elixirs that increase the lifespan of the Nascent Soul, they are not urgent for him.

According to the information collected by Ren Xiaoyao, every time the Xuanwu Secret Realm was opened, the Xuanwu Blood Beads appeared in some places deep in the secret realm and in some places in the outer areas.

In this case, there is naturally no need for Xia Daoming to take risks by entering the depths of the secret realm so early.

Let the Nascent Soul cultivators help explore the way first. It would be best if they fight for the elixir and kill each other until both are injured and some people die. Then it won’t be too late for him to join in the fun.

Soon, Xia Daoming’s spiritual sense could no longer sense the Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, a golden light flashed.

Xiao Jin appeared in front of him in a heroic manner.

Every time the divine power of the third eye is used, a lot of mental energy and blood is consumed. It is naturally impossible for Xia Daoming to keep his eyes open with the divine power of the third eye all the time.

Xiao Jin's divine eye ability is also at the second level, which is actually more profound than his. By replacing it, he can use the divine eye ability to find opportunities and avoid danger in advance.

As soon as Xiao Jin came out, he saw that the environment was dark and cold. The feathers on his body suddenly glowed with golden light, forming golden halos all around him. From a distance, it looked like a golden sun.

"What are you doing? Are you afraid that others don't know we are here?" Seeing this, Xia Daoming raised his hand and gave Xiao Jin a slap on the head.
