Chapter 366: The Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong

Ji Yang immediately replied,

“No need, Master. Since this is a sect matter, it must be important. Although I have good talent, I am handsome, and I can endure hardships, my realm is still low, so there is no need for me to know.”

“Actually, the Sect Master called me not for anything else, but to discuss the matter of the Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong!”

After saying this, Ye Wuchen fell silent again.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Ji Yang asked,

“Master, what is the Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong?”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t need to know?” Ye Wuchen replied with a smile.

Ji Yang awkwardly chuckled,

“Well, I’m just curious!”

If it weren’t for the fact that the person before him was Ye Wuchen, he would have definitely asked if he had ever seen a fist the size of a cauldron!

Ye Wuchen didn’t remain silent and began to explain slowly:

“The Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong is an ancient secret realm discovered in the Cultivation World three hundred years ago.”

“This secret realm appeared three hundred years ago, and every fifty years, it opens once. Inside, there are countless rare treasures, but the number of slots for entry is limited. After discussions between the righteous and demon paths, they agreed to send their disciples in to seek treasures every fifty years.”

“Since the last opening, it has been fifty years. In ten days, the Ancient Realm will open again, and both the righteous and demon paths will send famous sects to send their disciples.”

“Our He Dao Sect also has a certain number of slots.”

“A secret realm? Is it the same as the sect’s He Dao secret realm?” Ji Yang couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

Ye Wuchen shook his head slightly:

“The gap between them is vast. Although our sect’s He Dao secret realm is called a secret realm, it is actually just a small space opened up by the elders using Formations and artifacts; it can hardly be considered a true secret realm!”

“And the Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong, as it is said, was created by several late-stage Tribulation Crossing practitioners using a Heavenly Communication Artifact to open a small world! It holds boundless mysteries, exists independently, and is not affected by the outside world. Inside the secret realm, there are no traces to be found.”

Hearing the explanation, Ji Yang also showed an astonished expression. Late-stage Tribulation Crossing practitioners were top figures in the Cultivation World, and it was likely that even Ye Wuchen had not reached such a level, let alone the fact that they had used a Heavenly Communication Artifact.

The most powerful artifact he had seen so far was that red staff, which was only a semi-spiritual treasure, not a true spiritual treasure.

If a semi-spiritual treasure had such power, what immense strength did a Heavenly Communication Artifact possess?

This made Ji Yang feel a sense of longing.

Although he wasn’t interested in ordinary artifacts, a Heavenly Communication Artifact was something else entirely!

Yet, Ji Yang was also very self-aware; such treasures were certainly not easy to come by. Even if an ordinary cultivator saw one, they probably wouldn’t be able to take it.

Even though his current realm was not low, he wouldn’t assume he was the destined child.

Moreover, secret realms like this were bound to be filled with dangers. He wasn’t particularly interested in rare treasures; if it were spiritual grains or spiritual plants, he would be somewhat interested.

So even upon hearing that the secret realm would open in ten days, Ji Yang still felt no urge to go.

After dreaming about the Heavenly Communication Artifact for a while, Ji Yang prepared to tidy up his spiritual field and begin the next planting round.

Compared to any secret realm, it’s still better for me to farm honestly.

Just as Ji Yang turned to leave, Ye Wuchen spoke up:

“Aren’t you curious why the righteous and demon paths can coexist peacefully because of this secret realm? Don’t you want to experience the Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong?”

Hearing Ye Wuchen’s tempting tone, Ji Yang felt a stir of interest. He was indeed curious; a secret realm that could lead to an agreement between the righteous and demon paths must be different. However, Ji Yang firmly shook his head:

“Master, my strength is still low. I’ve only just returned to the sect, and I want to honor you for a while longer. I won’t go to the secret realm. The slots are precious; let them go to the senior brothers in need!”

Ye Wuchen nodded, then said regretfully,

“However, I heard that not only are there top-tier spiritual plants in that secret realm, but also many varieties of spiritual grains that the Cultivation World hasn’t discovered yet! The two top-tier spiritual plants in our sect’s spiritual herb garden were obtained from that secret realm.”

“I wanted to ask the Sect Master to reserve a slot for me at Jingtan Peak. Since you’re not going, forget it.”

With that, Ye Wuchen turned and walked toward the wooden house.

But after hearing Ye Wuchen mention the spiritual plants and rare spiritual grains, a light sparkled in Ji Yang’s eyes. He immediately grabbed Ye Wuchen and said,

“Ahem, Master, actually, I still have many shortcomings! I do want to see that Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong!”

He currently had very few spiritual plants. Although he had a fixed harvest each day, he only gained two cultivation points. The high-level spiritual plants he planted grew slowly despite receiving divine assistance, and it would take months for them to mature and yield Blue Light Points.

As for the spiritual grains, after planting two more batches, the yield would also be minimal.

Though these could let Ji Yang collect a decent amount of cultivation points in the short term, he could only hope to break through to the Void Refinement stage at most. If he wanted to reach higher realms, he needed to gather more spiritual grains or spiritual plants!

The secret realm sounded like a good choice, especially as it was a multi-player instance, and with the He Dao Sect’s strong foundation, his safety would surely be guaranteed!

After hearing this, Ye Wuchen slowly turned his head and smiled,

“Forget it, your strength is too low!”

“Master, it’s precisely because my strength is low that I need to experience challenges. Otherwise, how will I handle Jingtan in the future… and honor you!”

Fortunately, Ji Yang changed his wording quickly, nearly revealing his true thoughts.

Ye Wuchen shook his head again:

“Forget it. You’ve finally returned to the sect; it’s best to cultivate diligently on the peak!”

“Master, anywhere can be a place to cultivate. The peak is too bland. Without facing challenges, I cannot grow through setbacks. Please, I must ask you to allow me to have a slot!”

Ye Wuchen showed hesitation:

“Do you really want to go?”

Ji Yang answered firmly:

“I’m willing to go!”

“Alright, then it’s settled!”

“In five days, the sect elders will lead a team to depart. Just go then!”

With that, Ye Wuchen turned and went back to the wooden house, not giving Ji Yang a chance to speak!

Seeing Ye Wuchen agree so decisively, Ji Yang scratched his head in confusion. He felt something was off.

But then he quickly felt relieved!

He was now at the Late Spirit Transformation stage; not to mention disciples, even many of the sect’s stewards didn’t have his strength!

What was the Ancient Realm of Yuan Kong to him if not his own backyard?

Ye Wuchen had tried everything to let him in, and seeing that the disciples from other sects who entered were only at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage, he could easily disguise himself, reveal his true strength, and crush the disciples from other sects with ease!

Thinking this way, Ji Yang couldn’t help but smile.

There was no difficulty at all!
