The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 762 - 423 Ambushed_2

As soon as she spoke, the surroundings suddenly quietened down. There were many brutal characters in the Hidden Stream, and killing a person or two was not a big deal, but this delicate-looking girl was surprisingly bloody in her killing, the contrast between her image and methods was too stark.

Elder He looked at the corpses on the ground, his lips trembling for quite a while before he finally said, "Are you all right? Does this delay the treatment of the Blood Parasol?"

"No need." She shook her head, "Treating the Blood Parasol doesn’t require the use of my legs."

Elder He seemed to sigh with relief and said, "Someone, take this fellow away, and inform both Sect Leaders about this matter."

Ning Xiaoxian’s mouth curved up slightly and she said, "I encountered quite a few familiar faces on the way here, so the attack should have already been reported to the Sect Leader. I’ll start treating the Divine Tree now, and for the rest, I’ll have to trouble Elder He to handle."

She walked up to a mountain of materials, no longer checking them, and just collected them all into her storage bag. These treasures were worth a fortune, making Elder He’s heart tremble again.

A man stood behind him, dressed in a tall black robe, expressionless, and said, "Jiumo Sect Leader sent me here to open a secret realm for you." Glancing at her injuries, he asked, "Do you need to rest a bit first?" Then he took out a silver-white stone from his hand.

Opening a secret realm usually required a human of the Mahayana Realm or a demon of the Harmonization Stage and above. However, with the advent of the Realm Heart Stone, this situation had changed. Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and Wanxiang Stage demons could use the Realm Heart Stone to open secret realms, though there would be variations in the size, environment, and stability of the realms. This person designated by Jiumo to open a secret realm indicated that his kung fu was certainly impressive.

She shook her head. The man began chanting incantations in an awkward and obscure tone. Changtian disdainfully said, "His cultivation is not high, and using the Realm Heart Stone to open a secret realm requires a lengthy spell. If it were done by a cultivator above the Mahayana Realm, it would be finished in a moment."

True enough, the man chanted for a while, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and then he threw the Realm Heart Stone into the air. As it almost touched the ground, a white light flashed in front of everyone, and the silver-white stone disappeared, replaced by a screen of light similar to the surface of water.

The secret realm was ready. According to Ning Xiaoxian’s request, this secret realm was less than ten meters square, a very small one, otherwise the man’s chanting would have taken even longer. After finishing, he entered the realm, checked it, came out, and nodded to Ning Xiaoxian.

There were already demon children carrying over the Blood Parasol along with the vessel containing the Life Essence, moving extremely carefully, not daring to break the last piece of bark sustaining its life. Ning Xiaoxian held it with one hand, nodded to Elder He, and then turned into the secret realm.

The scene became instantly quiet. Although every Pill Master knew that her intervention required five days, they could not bear to leave and instead gathered in twos and threes at the entrance of the secret realm, whispering nonstop. Elder He, with his white eyebrows hung low, stood at the entrance of the secret realm, apparently lost in thought.

Little did they know, after a while, ripples suddenly appeared on the light screen of the secret realm, signaling that someone inside was about to come out. Sure enough, the next moment, Ning Xiaoxian’s figure appeared at the scene, her expression stern: "Elder He, I said no spying! Why is there a Water Moon Mirror installed inside the secret realm?!"

She knew these people would tamper with things, and indeed with Changtian, this live radar, they discovered that a Water Moon Mirror had been placed inside the secret realm in a very tricky position. If it were just her alone, she probably would not have noticed. But it was uncertain whether the Water Moon Mirror was Jiumo’s idea or Elder He’s decision.

Elder He’s face turned awkward, he sighed and muttered something to the Black-clothed Man. The latter glanced at Ning Xiaoxian, entered the secret realm, and after a while came out and quietly said, "It’s done."

Entering the secret realm again, that feeling of being spied on was indeed gone. She walked around, Changtian sensed carefully for a while, and then said, "The Water Moon Mirror has indeed been removed." She was still not reassured, and set up several barriers in the secret realm, before finally picking up the Blood Parasol and turning into the God Demon Prison. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

She couldn’t claim that she was the only one in the world who could revive the Blood Parasol, as with the vastness of this world, there is nothing strange. But at least in the Ba Snake Mountain Range, the soil or this poor Divine Tree were its only hopes.

She carefully moved the small tree out of the blood-red nutrient solution and placed it on the soil. Almost instantaneously, she saw through the transparent light-yellow soil that the sickly roots of the Blood Parasol suddenly came to life, like spirit snakes tightly burrowing into the soil. This was promising! Her always anxious heart finally settled back. No matter how confident she appeared in front of Jiumo or Elder He, using soil to revive the Blood Parasol remained just a speculation, never having been put into practice.

She and Changtian’s initial plan was, if the soil couldn’t revive the Blood Parasol, the last resort would be for her to quickly take Tu Jin and Qi Zai and flee. With her current abilities, and bearing the divine power derived from the same source as Ba Snake, she might be able to escape unexpectedly, and even the Ba Snake Mountain Range might not be able to stop her.

Fortunately, the soil seemed to be very effective, and their plan to flee was not needed. However, the anomaly with the Blood Parasol stopped there, and afterwards it returned to being inert, with no sign of recovery in its injured roots. The feedback from the soil, however, was rather disheartening.

The spiritual power required to treat this Blood Parasol was truly immense. Immense to the extent that even the spiritual power currently stored in the soil was far from enough. Even if she ordered the God Demon Prison to drain all the spiritual and demonic powers of more than three hundred prisoners, it wouldn’t be sufficient to meet its demands. (To be continued.
