This method's effect is indeed good, but it is truly somewhat vicious.

It's well-known that, from the information received so far, at least ten thousand cultivators are on their way to the Gloomy Swamp, and subsequently, there will certainly be a large number of cultivators arriving.

To say the least, there are tens of thousands of cultivators, yet this person casually suggests killing all these cultivators, which is truly ruthless, and does not align with the actual circumstances, nor does it consider the consequences.

Back then, the Three Mysterious Sect, to conceal the news of the Secret Realm's promotion, not only ambushed and killed a large number of cultivators from other powers, but also didn't hesitate to leave many of their own disciples within the Secret Realm, creating an illusion that a brutal fight erupted over some treasure, resulting in the fall of many cultivators in the Secret Realm.

This caused many factions to harbor suspicion back then, and after meticulously investigating for many years, only after confirming repeatedly did they cease their investigation.

Now, the same thing happens again, which might trigger memories of this event among other factions, making the situation increasingly troublesome.

Moreover, the lives of tens of thousands of cultivators, it's not a period of great calamity now, and nobody is willing to bear such immense Karmic Force.

"This method is not feasible!" The Sect Leader rejected without hesitation.

The other elders didn't quite agree with this method either, but when asked to think of another, they couldn't come up with a better one, so they could only lower their heads and sit silently in their places.

The situation once again fell into a stalemate.

...

Let's talk about the other side.

The attitude of that group of Loose Cultivators was extremely positive, even filled with anticipation, hoping the rumors were true, that a High-grade Secret Realm existed within the swamp.

But a few hours later, as the first group of Loose Cultivators reached the swamp's edge, before they even entered, several cultivators appeared before them.

"This area is off-limits to unauthorized personnel! Everyone, please leave!"

These individuals looked sullen and ugly, and their hearts were quite tense. Although they came from extraordinary backgrounds and their cultivation was higher than these Loose Cultivators, their numbers were too few!

If a conflict really broke out, with just these few people, they simply wouldn't be opponents; even if Earth Immortal Elders appeared, they might not be able to suppress so many Loose Cultivators.

At the same time, their minds were filled with confusion. Why would so many Loose Cultivators suddenly appear out of nowhere at the Gloomy Swamp?

"Why aren't we allowed in?"

Perhaps due to the large number of people, a loud voice of questioning suddenly rang out among the Loose Cultivators, who usually dared not conflict with Sect Disciples.

"Why can't we enter? When did the Gloomy Swamp, a Land Without Master, become your territory?"

But before they could understand, the air became charged with tension, as if a large-scale fight could break out at any moment.

This frightened those few cultivators, afraid of being drawn into the conflict and becoming the target of collective fury.

If it weren't for their duties and fear of sect punishment, they would have already fled.

Fortunately, several Earth Immortals arrived at this moment.

The thousands of Loose Cultivators quieted down because of this, no longer showing their previous arrogant demeanor.

"Who are you all?! Why are you trespassing on my Three Mysterious Sect's Spirit Land?"

"May I ask, Senior, when did the Gloomy Swamp become the territory of the Three Mysterious Sect?" A Loose Cultivator stepped forward, eyes shining with brilliance, showing no fear.

The reason this person was so bold was, naturally, due to Li Zhirui's manipulation. Otherwise, how could a Human Immortal Loose Cultivator dare confront multiple Earth Immortals?

"What are you, to dare question me?"

With a flick of his robe, he sent the person flying.

With a thud, they landed heavily on the ground, curling up in pain.

Seeing this scene, the Loose Cultivators showed expressions of fear and unrest, with retreating thoughts arising in their hearts.

"What are we afraid of! We're so many, what is there to fear!"

"That's right, and why did they station so many people here, with Earth Immortals overseeing? Doesn't it precisely indicate that there's a Secret Realm here?!"

Seeing things going downhill, Li Zhirui quickly incited several other cultivators to stand up, boosting morale to prevent the Loose Cultivators from being influenced and thinking of retreat.

The faces of the Earth Immortals became more unsightly. They didn't expect that under such circumstances, there would still be people daring to stand up.

"Indeed! Their presence just proves there's a big secret here, right? If the rumors are true, we won't have to worry about cultivation resources for many years to come!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Such a good opportunity might never come again. Do you wish to halt your progress at the Realm of Human Immortality?"

Perhaps genuinely inspired, or perhaps attracted by the rich Spiritual Objects in the Secret Realm, more and more Loose Cultivators came forward.

Among them, a few hidden Earth Immortal Loose Cultivators appeared, although they masked their appearances, their aura couldn't be deceiving.

The situation suddenly fell into a standoff.

After a long time, as more Loose Cultivators arrived, cultivators from the Three Mysterious Sect and other powers also arrived.

But this behavior didn't cause any side to retreat.

After some discussion, Tu Sen and other sect cultivators decided to take a step back and break the deadlock.

"You keep saying there's a Secret Realm in the Gloomy Swamp; we'll give you three days. If you can't find the Secret Realm, then afterward, you're not allowed to set foot in this area!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn't help but sneer, such shrewd calculation!

This countermeasure must have been thought out beforehand. No wonder so many cultivators were running around the swamp in recent days, trying to hide those Array Patterns stones.

Unfortunately, with him around, having already memorized several stones' locations, no matter how they hide them, as long as the positions remain unchanged, it's simply impossible to fool him!

And since Li Zhirui knows, wouldn't the Loose Cultivators in This Realm also find out?

"Alright! But if we find clues to the Secret Realm, then you cannot stop us from entering the Secret Realm to explore and seek treasures!"

Several Earth Immortal Loose Cultivators became temporary leaders of the group and decided to agree to the proposal after some discussion.

After all, the other side had already backed off a bit; if they continued to insist, it might really lead to a conflict!

"Deal!"

Tu Sen and the others hesitated for a moment, then decided to have faith in their own abilities, and agreed.

With permission granted, tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators flooded into the Gloomy Swamp, searching for clues about the Secret Realm. Some lesser-vision Loose Cultivators even started secretly collecting Spiritual Objects.

Time passed continuously, but none of the Loose Cultivators found any clues about the Secret Realm.

Even if they followed the rumors and dug three feet into the ground, they found no traces of Array Patterns.

And because too many cultivators entered the swamp, Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang directly sealed the cave, concealing all aura to avoid revealing their identities.

"What should we do? Have we really been deceived? Is there actually no Secret Realm within the Gloomy Swamp?"

Just thinking about provoking the Three Mysterious Sect and other powers, many Loose Cultivators felt a surge of fear like a plague, spreading rapidly.

Specifically manifested is that some Loose Cultivators quietly left, wanting to reduce their presence.

"Taoist Friend Wei, do you think the rumor is true?"

"It's definitely true!" Wei Gongting, who was knocked flying by an Earth Immortal, said through gritted teeth.

The nearby Loose Cultivators showed looks of pity and ridicule upon hearing this.

They all understood that if the Secret Realm wasn't found, others might not face consequences, but he must leave this area, or he would certainly face the backlash of the Three Mysterious Sect and other powers!

A Human Immortal Loose Cultivator facing Heavenly Immortal Power, aside from death and annihilation, they couldn't think of any other result.

And the reason they followed Wei Gongting was precisely because he had to desperately find clues, wasn't it?

But now it seems, he's likely to die.

Because there's only one night and half a day left of the agreed three-day time.

And tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators had already combed through every inch of the swamp, yet found no clues about the Secret Realm.

But still, nothing has been found!
