Chapter 433: Chapter 431: Five Elements Secret Realm

It took a full seven days for the two to travel by flying boat, traversing countless mountains, rivers, and ancient city nations. This time, Zhong Lin truly sensed the vastness of the Sword Domain, and was even more astonished at how expansive this world truly was.

It must be known that the Sword Domain is only one of the Ten Domains of the Eastern Desolation, and besides Eastern Desolation, there are the other four extremes, so one can imagine how boundless this world is.

“We’re almost at the transmission array ahead. By using it, we can enter the Five Elements Secret Realm. This secret realm is an open one, and can be entered and exited at any time. This also makes it more dangerous, with all sorts of people mixed together. Not only are there people from our Sword Domain, but also martial artists from other domains. So be sure to stay alert and don’t get tricked,” Chi Zhonglin instructed.

“Martial artists from other domains?”

“That’s right, the Five Elements Secret Realm is not exclusive to our Sword Domain. Other domains also have transmission arrays that allow for direct access. Otherwise, with so much distance between domains, how would resources and cultivation techniques circulate? Many secret realms act as transit points, and some sects or guilds are even established within them.”

As the two spoke, a ruined cityscape appeared beneath them.

“We’re here.”

Chi Zhonglin maneuvered the flying boat towards the center of the ruins to a plaza.

The transmission array was constructed at the center of this plaza. Compared to those Zhong Lin had seen before, the one before him was far larger and more complex, capable of transmitting over greater distances. Dimly, one could see rippling voids flickering, producing a feeling of immense distance within reach.

“Let’s go in.”

Chi Zhonglin stored the flying boat into his storage bracelet and stepped into the transmission array with large strides, with Zhong Lin following closely behind.

Rumble!

With a sudden leap, it was as if they had barged into another world, with the sky spinning and darkness filled with boundless starlight flashing before their eyes. What appeared next was a vast, desolate, abandoned land.

Before he could indulge his curiosity, Zhong Lin was suddenly enveloped by a dense wave of earth attribute essence Qi rushing towards him. Having condensed a Five Elements Spirit Body, he felt like a fish in water, needing no effort to mobilize it, feeling the earth attribute essence Qi entering his body and merging into his Golden Core, with a sense of comfort emanating from his body.

“Such dense earth attribute essence Qi, this place is simply a holy land,” Zhong Lin enthusiastically remarked, feeling the surging Qi around him.

“That’s because you’ve condensed a Five Elements Spirit Body. For someone who has condensed a Wood Spirit Body, this place would be a nightmare. Don’t move from here, I’ll go see what’s in this location.”

Zhong Lin’s expression stiffened, glancing deeply at Chi Zhonglin and then said, “Okay, Brother Tao.”

“What Brother Tao, call me Second Senior Brother.”

“It’s all the same, Second Senior Brother doesn’t sound as nice as Brother Tao.”

Chi Zhonglin ignored Zhong Lin’s nonsense, took a step and vanished into the void, returning after a short moment, cursing, “Random transmission is unreliable, we’re even further off than last time.”

Setting up a transmission array is like fixing two points on a piece of paper, allowing for mutual transmission and shuttle between them.

Random transmission only ensures a rough location, like now, the target is the Five Elements Secret Realm, but where exactly within it is unpredictable.

Fortunately, those who enter the Five Elements Secret Realm for training are generally martial artists confident in their abilities. As long as one doesn’t get directly transmitted into a demon beast’s lair, it should be fine, though one might end up in a place like this with only earth attribute essence Qi. If there’s a conflict of attributes, it could almost grind a person to death.

Literally grind to death.

Even if attributes are in conflict, essence Qi can still be absorbed with conversion, after all, the Five Elements Mutual Generation exists. However, the efficiency is extremely low, and encountering demon beasts means insufficient output for recovery, so many martial artists bring enough spirit stones or elixirs to replenish spiritual origin before coming in.

“Let’s go! In that direction, consider it a training session. The Five Elements Secret Realm is filled with numerous Five Elements Treasures, it’s just a matter of whether our luck is enough.”

The two didn’t linger much longer, skirting the mountain peak before them and flying low.

Just then, from the distance, an enormous plot of land revealed a pair of eyes watching the two flying low, harboring boundless ferocity in its gaze.

While flying, Chi Zhonglin felt a sudden urge, glanced at Zhong Lin, whistled, and lifted his position a notch higher.

Boom!

From below, the earth suddenly split open with a strong stench of soil, revealing a yellow snake head rising like a dragon, its bloody maw snapping fiercely towards Zhong Lin.

“Demon beast?”

Glancing at the yellow snake head that suddenly burst out from the ground, the size of a water tank, shrouded in dust and obscured in full form, Zhong Lin immediately discerned its power, equivalent to a Xuandan Perfection expert.

Moving like a shadow.

In an instant, Zhong Lin disappeared and reappeared above the snake head, slamming down with his left palm.

With his current strength, he didn’t even need to use spiritual origin; his physical strength alone sufficed to easily annihilate a Xuandan Realm expert. In one strike, he smashed the snake head to pieces, obliterating even the slightest thought within, reducing it to a wisp of pure earth-colored essence Qi.

“Hmm?”

Zhong Lin felt a stir within, immediately activating the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill, inhaling the pure earth-colored essence Qi into his mouth, instantly feeling his cultivation slightly strengthening.

“How’s it feel?”

Chi Zhonglin flew over to Zhong Lin’s side, laughing, “In the Five Elements Secret Realm, there are many powerful demon beasts born from the derivation of Five Elements Primordial Qi. By slaying these Five Elements-derived beasts, you can continuously absorb essence Qi.

This snake is called the Flying Snake, a monster condensed from the densest earth element essence, found only deep underground in the outside world, yet here it’s commonplace.”

Hearing this, Zhong Lin’s eyes lit up, involuntarily exclaiming, “Great place, truly the Five Elements Secret Realm. This wisp of earth attribute essence Qi is more effective than a Sixth Grade Elixir, and there’s no worry of elixir toxins. It’s simply a treasure land!”

“Haha, as long as you like it, don’t cry out from exhaustion later.”

Without lingering, the two continued flying low towards their destination.

After barely flying ten miles or so, a cluster of red clouds appeared in the distant sky, accompanied by “caw caw caw” sounds, an intense heat billowing forth, distorting the surrounding air.

“Tsk tsk, our luck is really good! A flock of Fire Crows.”

Chi Zhonglin raised an eyebrow, “This is a Fire Demon condensed from Fire Essence, usually only found near the sun in the sky. A flock of more than three thousand Fire Crows can rival a Yin Yang Realm expert, and here there are at least ten thousand.”

It turned out that the red cloud was a massive swarm of fire-red crows flying together. At this moment, Zhong Lin finally understood what it meant to cover the sky and earth, to scorch the mountains and boil the seas.
