My construction materials are weird

Despite the seemingly short distance, Xuan Huang cautiously spent nearly two days to reach the edge of the secret realm.

This shows that in subspace, without a clear anchor, even a short distance can feel incredibly long.

This is because one doesn't know how much space is overlapping within that short distance.

The mosquito could see and lock onto the Qingyun Boat, likely due to the spatial talent of its species.

Arriving before the secret realm space.

The closer they got, the greater the Qingyun Boat's fluctuations, a sign of its eagerness to advance.

Xuan Huang wasn't sure what kind of creatures were in this secret realm, nor was he certain of their strength. It would be reckless to enter on his own.

It's better to let the professional explorer and boundary-breaking expert, Jianmu's roots, investigate first.

Moreover, doing so would be more secure. Once Jianmu broke into the realm, it would instantly anchor it.

Even if it's very dangerous inside, and they can't enter now, they can enter in the future when they are capable.

Jianmu's ability to connect to all realms has become stronger since entering the third order, allowing it to infiltrate a realm silently.

The infiltrated world would hardly notice it, and even if it did, it wouldn't reject it. This is Jianmu's inherent ability to connect to all realms.

The myriad realms wouldn't reject it unless it damaged the realm's foundation.

At the opening, a root slowly entered, quickly locking onto the connection the moment it entered.

Jianmu conveyed to Xuan Huang that this realm was not controlled by anyone, nor did it have a self-operating will. It was a world on the verge of withering.

Moreover, because insects had gnawed through the barrier, this secret realm was on the verge of collapsing. Even if ignored, this secret realm wouldn't exist for long.

It would shatter one day and merge into the main world.

"Can we control this realm?" Xuan Huang asked.

[Master, yes. This realm's essence is only at the third order, it merely has the area of a fourth-order realm. It has been weakened here, knocked down from a fourth-order space to the third order.]

"Then control it," Xuan Huang said, understanding.

It should be a secret realm of a small world, or just a small world that was weakened during the merging of myriad realms.

[Yes!]

With Xuan Huang's command issued, Jianmu began to exert its power.

It was good that they were humans, not a different race.

Moreover, they were a group of powerful humans, with a second-order True Cultivator and nearly a thousand first-order True Cultivators.

The strength of this force far exceeded his current disciples.

By the time Jianmu had silently taken control of the secret realm, a day and a half had passed.

From the time Xuan Huang received the Qingyun Boat's call to now, four days had passed.

During these four days, the cultivators on the Qingyun Boat had gone from excitement and apprehension to acceptance.

Originally, they were eating hotpot and singing songs, planning to go to the Black Gold Secret Realm to fight demons and contribute to the Dao Lord.

They never expected to be a bit late, but being late wasn't terrible, at least they could still catch up.

What was even more magical was that the Dao Lord suddenly appeared while they were traveling and took control of the Qingyun Boat. He had been here for four days, and they didn't know what he was doing.

At Qingyun Mountain.

The cultivators who returned daily to deliver demon corpses also passed on the news that Xuan Shi was not at home and had gone out to fight.

The cultivators and demons had been fighting for nearly ten days.

They were currently in the final stages. After ten days of slaughter and attrition, the army of 150,000 demons had less than 20,000 left.

The demons were on the verge of collapse.

Both the Bloodhowl and the Sāmba were also covered in wounds and scars. At first, they could survive by not fighting the cultivators head-on.

In recent days, the cultivators realized that as long as these two Greater Demons were alive, the demons would not completely collapse.

Therefore, the main goal was to eliminate these two Greater Demons.

Only the four Grandmasters could pose a threat to the two Greater Demons.

Later, the four Guardians of the Merit Hall also began to participate, alternating with the four Grandmasters.

The four could be considered to have seen the benefits. As the four were already cultivators, their promotion would naturally promote the four Grandmasters.

In addition, the four had a deeper foundation than the four Grandmasters, so the four might step into the mid-stage earlier than the four Grandmasters.

Especially Youde and Wu Hui.

During their Spirit Master period, both were late-stage first-order Spirit Masters.

Strictly speaking, they could have forged late-stage first-order cultivator cultivation.

However, to have a more solid foundation and a deeper accumulation, the two, like other Spirit Masters who transitioned to cultivators, started from the early entry stage.

However, their previous late-stage first-order strength had not disappeared but had been transformed by Xuan Huang into a foundation.

Strictly speaking, there were almost no barriers for the two in the late-stage first-order.

It was just that their experience and insights were less accumulated than Yanlai and the other two.

After all, they were not on the same path before, and they were not as good as the three in terms of cultivation.

Now they were slowly catching up, and the speed of catching up was very fast.

As said before, Spirit Masters were one in ten thousand geniuses, they just didn't take the path of cultivation.

"Xuan Shi is out. It is said that the Qingyun Boat encountered a spatial creature during its journey, and Xuan Shi personally went to subspace to command. Everyone…"

Yanlai looked at the tired crowd and said, "Xuan Shi's absence during our battle with the demons is a sign of his trust in us. Xuan Shi believes that the demons are nothing to us, and we must fully understand Xuan Shi's trust in the cultivators. At the same time…"

"At the same time, we must live up to Xuan Shi's trust. There are less than 20,000 demons left. We will eliminate them as soon as possible. I hope that when Xuan Shi returns to the mountain, we have already eliminated the demons… What does everyone think?"

After speaking, Yanlai looked at the eight alliance leaders.

He dared to say this because the four Grandmasters had already discussed it. Now he was asking the eight large and medium-sized forces.

In these ten days or so, it was not only the demons who died.

Even with the advantage of the formation, cultivators would still die.

To kill 150,000 demons without anyone dying, unless they were surrounded without rushing, without taking any risks.

Otherwise, there would inevitably be losses.

Fortunately, the losses were not large. Apart from the reckless cultivators at the beginning, everyone was much more cautious later.

Dying meant losing everything, and the extra points earned were useless.

The opinions of the various squad leaders were fully respected, and the losses gradually decreased.

In the past ten days, the cultivator side suffered nearly a hundred casualties.

Among them, forty people died directly in battle.

This was an unimaginable ratio, showing the power of the formation's support.

Forty deaths versus 130,000 demon deaths, a ratio of nearly one to four thousand.

A very exaggerated figure.

"We have no objections. We should live up to Xuan Shi's trust," several families said after looking at each other.

In fact, they could only agree. They couldn't disagree.

The four had decided, and they couldn't do anything about it.

From this situation, Xuan Huang's disciples were very formalistic.

Xuan Huang's absence was interpreted as Xuan Shi's trust, and they had to add more effort to end the war as soon as possible so that Xuan Shi could return to the mountain.

No matter how you look at it, it's a case of subordinates deceiving their superiors, and even if the superiors fart, the subordinates will blow it up into a flower.

It looks like this force is on the verge of collapse due to corruption.

For the sake of praise from above, they disregard the life and death of those below.

But these things are unavoidable. Where there is organization, there is power, and where there is power, there is corruption. There is no solution to this.

Even Xuan Huang wouldn't say anything if he knew, because it's unnecessary. Anyone would be the same.

This is actually a form of competition.

"Alright, since everyone has agreed, the next arrangement…"

The cultivators of the Black Gold Secret Realm began the final stage of their assault.

They began their final attack on the demons they had surrounded.

Meanwhile.

While waiting for Jianmu to control the Void God Secret Realm, Xuan Huang suddenly received a message from Bi Xia.

Bi Xia: [Little brother, are you home?]

Xuan Huang: [Not home]

Bi Xia: [???]

Without a single mistake, a first-rate, inward-looking response!

Bi Xia, intending to come to Qingyun Mountain to inquire about the Dao Soldier Pool, first needed Xuan Huang to unlock the anchoring of the Inner World.

If Xuan Huang wasn't home, it would be like a closed door, impossible to open.

It was just a polite inquiry, but he didn't expect Xuan Huang to actually be away from home.

Bi Xia was very surprised. He knew that Xuan Huang was famous for being a homebody. Qingyun Mountain had even had a joke about it before.

Xuan Huang: [I discovered a secret realm. There are humans from another world in the secret realm, all of them cultivators. There are nearly a thousand first-order cultivators, and even a second-order one. Do you want to come and take a look, brother?]

Waiting was still waiting, so why not just pull Bi Xia over?

At the same time, Xuan Huang thought of the reason why Bi Xia contacted him. It must be about the Dao Soldier Pool.

Bi Xia: [Oh? So many true cultivation experts? Isn't it dangerous, little brother? A world with so many experts must be extraordinary.]

Bi Xia wasn't stupid either. Combining the information about the Blood Soul Realm and the Blood Moon Realm that Xuan Huang had given him,

he knew that many small worlds had the last remnants of the Heavenly Will, which were the treasures protecting the world, so that the creatures of this world would have something to rely on after integrating into the main world.

And when these creatures had something to rely on, it meant that their ability to rise would be greatly enhanced.

These remnants were still a continuation of the Heavenly Will, and it could even be said that they were the essence of the souls of the remnant treasures, because the Heavenly Will was unwilling to completely disappear.

It could be considered a kind of continuation.

These things were all existences starting from the fourth order. Although they didn't have the intelligence to walk the path of creation, they could be used by the cultivators of this world to suppress their will, and they could also be summoned.

With second-order cultivators and nearly a thousand first-order cultivators, there must be such treasures.

Xuan Huang: [It's indeed not simple. I haven't asked yet, and I'm in the process of controlling the secret realm. However, the humans of this world seem to be in trouble. Nearly a million of them are gathered in the secret realm, so there must be unspeakable secrets. In addition, the strongest remnant of this secret realm is only a third-order Heart of Space, which was discovered by my treasure, the Qingyun Boat…]

Xuan Huang didn't hide anything and explained everything to Bi Xia.

When Bi Xia saw that the strongest means was third-order, and it had been weakened from fourth-order to third-order,

and that the strongest cultivator was second-order, and that it was a group of humans suffering from unspeakable secrets,

it didn't seem to be anything scary. He seemed to be invincible.

It wasn't like those small worlds that could target spirit masters like him, but just a slightly larger secret realm.

Secret realms didn't have the Heavenly Will or the remnants of the Heavenly Will that could target him.

Bi Xia: [Little brother, pull me over.]

Bi Xia didn't say anything else and asked Xuan Huang to pull him over to take a look.

Xuan Huang: [Okay.]

Using the Inner World, Xuan Huang activated the teleportation.

Bi Xia, who was at the headquarters, walked into the light and then disappeared.

On the other side, inside the cockpit of the Qingyun Boat, a beam of light flashed, and Bi Xia seemed to walk out of the illusion and arrived in the cockpit.

"Huh? This is?"

As soon as Bi Xia came out, he felt that it was not simple. It was not a familiar world, but in the subspace.

His little brother didn't tell him.

But he immediately understood that he was on the Qingyun Boat in the subspace, and the secret realm was also discovered in the subspace.

To be honest, this was the first time Bi Xia had seen such a place.

The means of spirit masters were very simple.

Even a spirit master as strong as Bi Xia only had strong dream abilities.

It was impossible for him to learn many different mysteries like cultivators.

Spirit masters could only control the rules and mysteries possessed by the strange, and they didn't dare to touch other rules at all. Touching them was tantamount to courting death.

It was equivalent to destroying the balance with the strange by courting death.

Even if they merged with the strange, they could only merge with those of the same kind and the same rules.

Unless it was a combined rule strange, such as a stitched monster.

But the strange of the stitched monster type was also mainly stitched rules, and the others were just means.

There must be one that was absolutely dominant.

"This is the subspace? What a magical feeling." Bi Xia simply felt it for a while.

Xuan Huang smiled and said, "Brother, you came at the right time. We can go in now. Do you want to go and take a look together?"

Bi Xia was also lucky to have come at the right time.

The Void God Secret Realm had already been controlled by Jianmu without Ji Zhongfu's knowledge.

If the original owner who created this world was still there, Jianmu would not have been able to easily enter and control it.

Only when the original owner was not there, which was equivalent to not having any defenses, and the strength was weaker than Jianmu, could Jianmu control it.

Jianmu could connect to all worlds. This was a natural ability.

It should be noted that connecting was not controlling and should not be confused.

Connecting was just linking, and this world was still dominated by the Heavenly Will of this world. The Heavenly Will could even cut off Jianmu's connection channel at any time.

And controlling was equivalent to this world being dominated by Jianmu.

"Of course I'll go together. I'll follow my little brother to see the world," Bi Xia said.

Xuan Huang didn't waste any words. Since Bi Xia had agreed, he began to take him inside.

Two rays of light flashed through the hole that had been gnawed out by mosquitoes.

The two entered the secret realm under the escort of Jianmu.

When the two appeared in the air, the people of the God-Demon Realm, who were unaware, were immediately shocked.

Who was this? Were they their own people?

Didn't the mosquitoes retreat and the clansmen were resting?

These two in the air didn't seem to be their own people.

"Greetings, fellow clansmen from another world," Xuan Huang broke the silent scene and came directly to the center, speaking to the clansmen here.

Ji Zhongfu: "You, you, who are you?"

Ji Zhongfu was very frightened and couldn't help but tremble.

The two people in front of him had divine might like the sea, and the other also had divine might like the sea.

Neither of them was someone he could deal with, and even everyone present together wouldn't be able to.

But the cultivation of the two had not exceeded his range of understanding, and they might even be of the same rank as him, or at most one level higher.

But he had a sense of oppression like facing the Eight Ancestors.

What kind of people were these?

Were there still such clansmen in the Human Realm?

Or were these the backhands left by the Two Primordial Ancestors, another branch of the human race?

But it didn't seem like it.

The young expert said that they were 'fellow clansmen from another world'. Where did this other world come from?

Apart from the Human Realm, he had never heard of any clansmen in the other six realms.
