Chapter 61: Unity with the Dao Secret Realm

“I saw it with my own eyes, the news cannot be false!”

In the room, Wu Yun put down the messaging talisman, his expression uncertain as he murmured,

“Is that really possible?”

After a moment, a glimmer of excitement shone in Wu Yun’s eyes!

“Knock! Knock! Knock!”

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door.

Wu Yun stepped out of the room and saw Wuzhen in a hurry.

“Cousin, Ji Yang has supposedly come out!”

Wu Yun glanced at Wuzhen’s cultivation level, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and nodded,

“I already know, no need to say more, I’ll head over right now!”

With that, Wu Yun took out a green boat from his storage bag and flew away with a swoosh, moving at incredible speed, clearly utilizing all the energy of the flying artifact.

This made Wuzhen feel a touch of envy; it was the family’s flying artifact given to his cousin, capable of reaching the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator when flying at full force. Unfortunately, it could only carry one person.

However, seeing his cousin so eager to help him seek revenge filled Wuzhen’s heart with gratitude.

Family truly can be relied upon!

Ji Yang, let’s see how my cousin handles you this time!

Wuzhen clenched his fists and hurried in the direction Wu Yun flew, eagerly wanting to witness Ji Yang being defeated by his cousin.

“Who goes there? Show me your identity token!”

Outside the Unity with the Dao secret realm, an old man with dark hair and a weathered face blocked Ji Yang’s path, reprimanding him.

This place was the Unity with the Dao secret realm, the sect’s treasure vault, even sect elders had to undergo questioning to enter.

“I am Ji Yang from Jingtan Peak!”

With that, Ji Yang respectfully presented his identity token.

The old man was clearly formidable, as only those of unusual strength guarded the Unity with the Dao secret realm.

After examining the identity token, the old man pulled out a mirror-like artifact, swept it over Ji Yang, and only then did his solemn expression fade into a smile and nod:

“Finding new spiritual grains for the sect, not bad!”

“Follow me!”

Finished speaking, the old man turned and walked towards a majestic hall behind him.

Just as Ji Yang stepped into the Unity with the Dao secret realm, many disciples had already followed closely behind.

The onlookers stared in disbelief as they watched Ji Yang converse with the old man and then enter the sect’s treasure vault.

The outer disciples knew that the Unity with the Dao secret realm was the He Dao Sect’s treasure vault, filled with numerous treasures; even the slightest item could be worth a great deal of spiritual stones, and there were things that couldn’t even be purchased with spiritual stones.

But how could a mere outer disciple like Ji Yang have the qualifications to enter?

It is known that even inner disciples rarely have the qualification to enter and select items; the last person who entered was said to be a true disciple! He earned the right to enter after slaying a demon cultivator and bringing fame to the sect.

This sparked a flurry of discussions among the outer disciples.

Some disciples, skeptical, tried to step into the hall, but before they could cross the threshold, they were blasted back by an invisible formation. A booming voice then echoed from inside the hall:

“This is sacred ground; those who intrude shall be punished!”

Seeing the unfortunate disciple who was thrown back, the others dared not make another attempt and quickly mobilized their contacts to investigate the reason.

Inside the hall, Ji Yang had no idea what was happening outside. He had shifted his focus to the interior of the hall.

Upon entering, Ji Yang did not notice anything particularly special. The hall was spacious and dark in the corners, as if something unknown was hidden, but he could not see any treasures.

As the two reached the center of the hall, the old man raised the artifact in his hand, and a beam of light burst forth from it.

In an instant, Ji Yang felt dazed.

When Ji Yang regained his senses, the entire hall had transformed. The surroundings were no longer as empty as before.

There were wooden racks placed all around, and on them sat various unknown items.

Among them were rare spiritual plants, still exuding a unique fragrant aroma despite being sealed with talismans. Simply inhaling their scent could quicken the flow of energy within one’s body.

There was also a flying artifact, completely shrouded in a mass of black mist. As it sensed the presence of others, it trembled! The surrounding black fog spread out, bringing a sense of death, but it was soon suppressed by the formation, sealing it within, unable to move.

Ji Yang surmised that this was most likely a magical treasure because magical treasures possessed spirit.

Additionally, there were various rusted fragments, whose origins were unknown.

Ji Yang also saw incomplete techniques and half-finished spells.

However, as he looked around, Ji Yang felt puzzled, as there weren’t as many items as he had imagined. In total, there were only a few dozen items, and some appeared to be from the demonic path.

Perhaps these items were indeed outstanding for a small sect, but He Dao Sect, with its long-standing heritage, should not have such a limited selection.

The old man, sensing Ji Yang’s confusion, took the initiative to explain:

“Although He Dao Sect has existed for a thousand years, most usable items have been given out as rewards, so what remains here either has some flaws or certain side effects.”

“Some of these are magical artifacts from the demonic path; however, many excessively sinister artifacts have long been destroyed by the sect. The remaining ones still have certain uses.”

“He Dao Sect is a righteous sect; artifacts themselves do not represent much. The key lies in the cultivator using them. Even demonic artifacts can sometimes serve a special purpose. Although we disdain using demonic artifacts, taking advantage of each other’s strengths is essential for the growth of the sect!”

Hearing the old man’s explanation, Ji Yang’s eyes lit up with understanding.

No wonder He Dao Sect could become a top sect; it was home to many long-sighted individuals.

Moreover, if a powerful sect stored all their best treasures in the vault rather than arming high-level cultivators, they would merely become prey for others.

Ji Yang felt relieved, recognizing that there were indeed many valuable items inside. Furthermore, he did not care much for external possessions; the artifacts crafted by Elder Chai were quite useful. Nevertheless, as he absorbed more White Light Points, he found them to be somewhat lighter than before.

“Each item here comes with an introduction from the sect’s elders; you may examine them carefully and choose three!”

“Once chosen, there can be no regrets! Think thrice before you act!”

The old man reminded him a couple more times and then said no more.

According to the usual practice, he wouldn’t speak this much. However, Ji Yang’s entry as a Qi Refinement stage cultivator showed his immense contribution to the sect, so special individuals were often treated with some leniency.

“Thank you, senior.”

Ji Yang nodded, then turned his thoughts to finding what he needed in the hall.
