Chapter 726: Earth Fire Secret Realm

A month later, Fang Lie woke up from his meditation. This month-long Cycling Energy finally stabilized the boiling Spiritual Energy within him. Although the surge in cultivation caused by the Dragon Soul Grass was suppressed, a residual power remained, and it was quite substantial.

However, this residual power wouldn’t cause any negative effects; it would slowly be digested by Fang Lie, continuing to enhance his Magic. It might take several years for this power to completely disappear.

Feeling that his body had stabilized, Fang Lie eagerly took out the Jade Slip that Mo Qianxun had given him. He couldn’t wait to deal with the Ambush laid against him by West Kunlun!

After picking up the Jade Slip and scanning it with his divine sense, Fang Lie smiled. He discovered that Mo Qianxun had made thorough preparations: not only was there a Boundary-Breaking Divine Shuttle, but inside the shuttle, there were also two sets of formation flags, a spatial positioning array plate, and over thirty Eighth-rank chaotic Destiny divine symbols!

The two sets of formation flags included a Seventh-rank Covering Sky Formation and a Seventh-rank Void Sensing Formation.

The Covering Sky Formation could deploy Illusion to shield Fang Lie and mask the spatial fluctuations caused by the Boundary-Breaking Divine Shuttle. With it, Fang Lie could act freely without worrying about being detected.

The Void Sensing Formation enhanced the ability to sense the void, as Fang Lie needed to find a specific one among many Secret Realms and directly break through the spatial barrier to cross over. Accomplishing this task was not easy. Relying solely on himself and the Boundary-Breaking Divine Shuttle wasn’t enough, but with this formation to assist him, it would be much easier.

The spatial positioning array plate was intended to guide Fang Lie back on track; otherwise, once he entered, he might not be able to return the same way. If he accidentally ended up at the headquarters of Kunlun Mountain when coming back, he wouldn’t have anywhere to cry.

As for the chaotic Destiny divine symbols, they were specifically designed to conceal the Heavenly Dao’s secrets. This high-grade Eighth-rank divine symbol, once used, would stir up the Heavenly Dao’s secrets within hundreds of thousands of miles, making it impossible for anyone to restore the truth through calculations.

This was clearly a measure against the Grand Divination Master of the Xuan Sect. Since only the Thunder Tribulation Immortal, who excelled in the Path of Cause and Effect, could craft them, they were extremely rare and often priceless.

Just these more than thirty Eighth-rank disposable divine symbols were worth nearly as much as low-grade Eighth-rank treasures. The quantity alone would require exhausting the Mo Sect’s accumulation over thousands of years.

Thus, it was clear that Mo Qianxun had spent heavily this time; his wrath towards Immortal Lan Shan was immense, or he wouldn’t have been so generous.

Mo Qianxun’s ample preparation also made Fang Lie feel the Sect Leader’s wrath and determination. He secretly resolved that he would accomplish this task no matter what!

Another month passed, and without informing anyone, Fang Lie used the invisibility technique to leave home. After disguising himself, he dared to take the sect’s teleportation array to depart.

This way, even his closest friends didn’t know he had left; everyone still thought Fang Lie was in closed-door training!

Only one person knew—Mo Qianxun. He was fully aware of Fang Lie’s movements because the Boundary-Breaking Divine Shuttle that Fang Lie carried was a treasure he had refined, allowing him to sense its specific location.

Once he noticed Fang Lie starting to move, Mo Qianxun immediately began to manipulate the protective array to observe him, only stopping once Fang Lie had left.

"Ha ha~," Mo Qianxun chuckled with satisfaction, "from now on, whoever says this kid is a fool, I’ll be furious! This sneaky guy, being so careful about his actions, managed to fool everyone when he left. Now that’s how a person doing big things should act! When West Kunlun comes to demand an explanation, many will loudly claim that Fang Lie never left! Ha ha, how interesting!"

West Kunlun and East Kunlun were adjacent to each other, separated by a Kunlun divine mountain. To the east was East Kunlun, and to the west was West Kunlun.

West Kunlun is vast, with a core territory of two hundred thousand miles, securely protected by a protective array. Expanding outward for one million miles, it directly controlled the territory.

Every city, country, mountain, and everything else within this range belonged wholly to West Kunlun—without exception!

Beyond this range, there was a medium-sized town called Qingning. Although most of it was controlled by West Kunlun, it was not within their sphere of influence and remained a neutral town, being the closest neutral town to West Kunlun.

Fang Lie teleported directly to this place and then took control of a regular Third-rank Flying Boat, beginning to circle around West Kunlun’s territory.

On the surface, he appeared to be a scattered cultivator on his way; even West Kunlun’s people would not be able to detect this guy just outside their territory. After all, the circle he was making was enormous, with a diameter of over two million miles—who would bother watching him for no reason?

Therefore, while circling, Fang Lie did not raise any alarms in West Kunlun and felt exceptionally safe.

While on his journey, Fang Lie continuously used his divine skill, Void Eye, in combination with the Boundary-Breaking Divine Shuttle’s treasure designed to search for world membranes, relentlessly seeking his target.

When he grew tired, he switched to his clone to keep going—so while he rested, the treasure kept working hard, persistently continuing his search.

Finally, after over two months of circling around West Kunlun, Fang Lie completed three full laps before finally determining the location of the Earth Fire Secret Realm.

In fact, searching for the Earth Fire Secret Realm was difficult yet not overly so.

It was difficult because there were hundreds of Secret Realms in West Kunlun, making it indeed not easy to find a specific one.

Yet it was not overly difficult because the Earth Fire Secret Realm was very special; it needed to be within the Great Thousand World, and connecting this kind of world with the current world requires a huge amount of Spiritual Energy. Even West Kunlun cannot bind too much, only about five or six.

The Earth Fire Secret Realm was specifically used to raise Earth Fire Dragon Worms. These creatures thrived in blazing magma environments.

Among all major planes, only one matched such intense heat. The others were either normal-temperatured or bitterly cold, completely unsuitable.

Relying on these clues, Fang Lie eventually located the unique Earth Fire Secret Realm.

The Realm’s connection to their world lay within West Kunlun’s core region. From the outskirts, Fang Lie could only roughly sense its position. Without the Boundary-Breaking Divine Shuttle, entering would’ve been impossible through his own power.

After pinpointing the location, Fang Lie acted swiftly.

First, he chose a secluded valley to deploy the Sky-Shading Formation. This concealed him from overhead observers and masked spatial disturbances, preventing detection by West Kunlun forces.

Next came the Void Sensing Formation, enhancing his perception of the void to breach the world barrier more easily.

He then carefully positioned the spatial anchor formation plate – his lifeline for returning home.

Lastly, Fang Lie donned a mask treasure to hide his features, wary of potential guards within the Realm.

With preparations complete, he entered the Boundary-Breaking Divine Shuttle and activated it immediately.

Intense spatial ripples emerged but remained undetected outside due to the formation. When the vibrations peaked, Fang Lie guided the shuttle through the pinpointed barrier.

They vanished instantly, leaving behind a three-foot spatial tear being compressed by Heavenly Dao laws.

Regaining consciousness from mild dizziness, Fang Lie found himself surrounded by bubbling magma in sweltering heat.

Emerging from the shuttle, he scanned thousands of miles with his divine sense. Finding no threats, he grinned.

"Eighty percent chance this is the place. No other presences detected. Time to work!"

He summoned 300 clones and commanded: "Ten per group! Start harvesting from the outer edges!"

The clones scattered in predetermined teams.

Having entered from Kunlun Mountain’s periphery, Fang Lie reasoned they’d arrived at the Secret Realm’s outskirts. Following demon beast hierarchy, weaker specimens dwelled here while stronger ones occupied the center.

Soon, a team located their target.

Amusingly, this Earth Fire Dragon Worm hid beneath thousand-zhang-deep magma – beyond his Twin Eyes of Heaven and Earth’s range. Yet its glaring Star Power emissions made detection effortless, like spotting a lantern in darkness.

Ten clones dove into magma and encircled the creature. Nine simultaneously unleashed Jianku Wood Reaches the Sky, Seal.

Though this divine skill only possessed one-third of Freezing Technique’s potency when cast singly, its effects stacked infinitely. Nine clones combining their power created triple freezing force – enough to immobilize even Ninth-Rank Low-Level Beasts.

The seventh-rank worm froze instantly. Remaining clones examined their catch curiously.

Measuring over hundred zhang long and three zhang thick, the crimson-scaled creature lacked eyes or ears. Its circular maw bristled with razor teeth, presenting nightmarish visage.
