Chapter 2819: Going to the Jade Morning Realm in 2800

The Liao family's ancestors originated from the Xuanqing Sect. Benefiting from the sect's powerful backing, the Liao family has developed very well over the years, boasting no fewer than twenty Void Refinement cultivators. The Xuanqing Sect has multiple affiliated cultivation families that include Integration stage cultivators, and the Liao family is just one of them.

Upon receiving news that the Beiming family's secret realm was located in the Qiyun Mountain Range, she immediately led her people there, gaining an exclusive advantage.

Lei Yuting was also there, his aura weak. He had narrowly escaped using the Thunder Escape technique. Unable to contend with the Guo family, who had an Integration stage cultivator, he could only report to the Liao family to prevent the Guo family from succeeding.

“Junior Guo Shenglong greets Senior Liao. Senior Liao, what brings you here?” The large man in golden robes bowed, his expression uneasy.

“You know perfectly well why I’m here. For Guo Daoyou’s sake, get out!” Liao Zhongyan’s tone was icy; had it not been for Guo Yulin, she would have directly killed them. A secret realm is unlike a metal ore vein. Metal ore veins are inanimate and cannot be fully mined quickly, so they must be seized through force. A secret realm is different; its most valuable assets are the spiritual herbs. As long as she could open the entrance first and send people inside to plunder the cultivation resources, it would be too late by the time Guo Yulin arrived.

Guo Shenglong frowned deeply, unwilling to leave. This was a crucial opportunity for the Guo family, and two of their Void Refinement clansmen had already died in their efforts against Lei Yuting and his group.

“What? Do you want me to send you to your death? Do you truly believe I wouldn’t dare kill you?” Liao Zhongyan’s expression turned cold, her face filled with killing intent.

“If you wish to die, just say so. This isn’t the Guo family’s territory; get out immediately,” a handsome young man in white robes said with a cold expression. He was Master Ice Toad, a guest elder of the Liao family and a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

Guo Shenglong sighed deeply and could only lead his clansmen away.

“Set up formations and seal off this area. No one else is allowed within ten thousand miles; violators will be severely punished,” Liao Zhongyan commanded, her expression solemn. If they could secure this secret realm, the Liao family’s development would advance significantly. She was determined to take it.

“Yes, Ancestor,” the Liao family cultivators replied in unison, each taking their assigned positions; some setting up formations, others patrolling. It was a case of ‘the early bird gets the worm’; by the time other forces arrived, the Liao family would have already secured the secret realm.

Liao Zhongyan flipped her right hand, and with a flash of golden light, a small, shimmering golden mirror appeared. A small golden flower was carved on its back, and its spiritual energy was astonishing. The mirror’s surface lit up with a dazzling golden light, emitting a hazy golden mist that struck the void. The void rippled, but there was no abnormality.

“Senior Liao, this is the place,” Lei Yuting quickly explained. “The attack power isn’t enough; you need to activate your Dharma Idol to attack.” He knew that if Liao Zhongyan successfully opened the secret realm’s entrance, he would still gain some cultivation resources, but if it couldn't be opened, things would be uncertain.

“Let’s work together to break the restriction. Don’t hold back,” Liao Zhongyan commanded. The cultivators attacked the void one after another; Void Refinement and Integration stage cultivators activated their Dharma Idols, while Soul Transformation stage cultivators controlled their treasures.

The Purple Gourd Mountain Range is located in the northwest corner of the Thousand Gourd Realm. With over a hundred thousand peaks of varying sizes, its terrain strikingly resembles a giant purple gourd when viewed from high above, hence its name.

In the northeastern part of the Purple Gourd Mountain Range, on a towering, steep peak, a silver formation spanning ten thousand feet sat at its summit. Over a thousand cultivators were gathered near the formation, with more than twenty being Soul Transformation stage cultivators and the rest Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Wang Desheng was also among them, his expression solemn. He had mobilized ten Soul Transformation stage clansmen, and the remaining nine Soul Transformation cultivators were drawn from four different realms. A total of twenty Soul Transformation cultivators were heading to the Jade Dawn Realm, while two remained in the Thousand Gourd Realm to guard the formation and provide support. According to intelligence, there were fewer than five alien Soul Transformation cultivators in the Jade Dawn Realm. This deployment, with more than four times their forces, showed how seriously they regarded the alien Soul Transformation cultivators. Most importantly, they had not informed the Fire Lizard tribe, ensuring they would catch them by surprise.

“Activate the formation! Open a passage,” Wang Desheng commanded, his expression solemn.

A graceful woman in a golden dress responded. She took out a shimmering silver formation plate, cast a spell into it, and the formation vibrated violently as countless patterns lit up brightly. With a flash of silver light, a dazzling silver beam shot straight up into the sky. The silver beam struck a point in the void, which rippled in response.

Wang Desheng raised his right hand, and a shimmering golden short ruler flew out, striking the void where the silver beam had hit. The void emitted a muffled humming sound, then tore open, revealing a black hole several zhang wide from which a powerful gale swept out. Wang Desheng performed a spell, and the golden short ruler emitted a dazzling golden light as the black hole continuously expanded. This was the Realm-Breaking Ruler, a treasure crafted by the Wang family clansmen from collected materials, primarily used for traveling between different realms. The Wang family’s development in the Profound Sun Realm was favorable. Given the realm's vastness and abundant resources, clansmen ascending there didn't need to carry too many treasures. Consequently, before ascending, they would often leave some treasures behind, and the Realm-Breaking Ruler was one of them.

Two Soul Transformation cultivators led thirty Nascent Soul cultivators towards the black hole, successively entering and disappearing. The life-bound soul lamps of all cultivators heading to the Jade Dawn Realm were left in the Thousand Gourd Realm, ensuring immediate knowledge if any of them perished. Only after confirming that the first batch of cultivators had encountered no issues would the second batch depart.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, over four hundred cultivators remained. Han Yuxiu flicked her sleeve, and a green light shot out, transforming into a green flying boat over a hundred zhang long. Its spiritual energy was astonishing, and a green lotus pattern was carved on its hull. They successively boarded the boat, leaving over two hundred cultivators, including two Soul Transformation cultivators, to guard the formation. Han Yuxiu performed a spell, and the green flying boat lit up with countless mysterious green runes. A thick green light barrier then appeared out of nowhere, enveloping them. The green flying boat flew towards the black hole, finally disappearing into it.

A moment later, the black hole healed and vanished.

In the Jade Dawn Realm, lay an endless expanse of verdant mountains. A deafening thunderclap echoed from high in the sky, and the void rippled as a black hole over ten zhang wide appeared out of nowhere. A shimmering green flying boat flew out of it, carrying Wang Desheng and two hundred other cultivators, their expressions varied. Wang Desheng’s face was filled with vigilance. Han Yuxiu had already led her people to set up formations, waiting for them.

“How is it? Where are we?” Wang Desheng asked.

“This is the Azure Sage Mountain Range,” Han Yuxiu explained. “The Fire Lizard tribe’s lair is quite far from here.” They had previously captured several Fire Lizard tribesmen and soul-searched them, gaining much useful information.

“Good, let’s head straight there,” Wang Desheng commanded. “Show no mercy to any aliens we encounter.” The human cultivators in the Jade Dawn Realm had been enslaved by aliens, a truly horrific sight. As a human, he naturally harbored no courtesy towards the aliens.

Han Yuxiu and the others successively boarded the green flying boat. She performed a spell, and the flying boat’s spiritual light greatly intensified as it flew towards the northwest.
