Chapter 31: The Sword Cultivator Is Really Fast!

Even geniuses like Wen Yun and Ye Shubai were fooled before, as they say, those involved can be confused.

Wen Yun stood by the giant Magic Stone, her face reflecting a faint light, her dark eyes continuously lost in thought.

She completely forgot about the person beside her, talking to herself while looking at the Magic Stone.

"Why? Yeah, why would something from the Magic World appear in the cultivation world?"

In the cultivation world, spiritual power is dominant, and magical elements are scarce. Wen Yun has to meticulously chant spells to gather magical elements, she can’t cast spells instantly.

But why in the sacred land of the cultivation world, the Dark Heaven Secret Realm supposedly created by immortals, are magical elements more abundant than spiritual power? And why are there so many things exclusive to the Magic World?

For example, the fire hemlockelderberry on The Tenth Peak, which is a rare treasure for magicians, but in the cultivation world, since it lacks spirit energy, it ends up being worthless.

Even this giant Magic Stone Mountain in front of her would just be seen as a slightly prettier transparent stone by ordinary cultivators.

Wen Yun walked around the Magic Stone, still puzzled.

"These two things can’t be connected at all! They are completely different systems of practice. Could it be that those immortals are actually magicians? No, there are no traces of the cultivation world in the magic world at all."

Of course, Wen Yun was knowledgeable about the Magic World, making her everyone’s nightmare.

More precisely, what’s scary is not her. After all, a magician who spends all day studying magic in the wizard tower is definitely not someone who likes causing trouble. The annoying one is another… dragon.

Yes, it’s the dragon spirit that loves biting her head.

It likes flying out for a few days, then comes back and blabs about the privacy of all the big shots on the continent to her.

For example, the High Priest of Light must cuddle a cat when sleeping at night, and the favorite underwear of the Dark Priest is pink lace-trimmed.

Therefore, if someone from the cultivation world really ascended to the Magic World, Wen Yun couldn’t possibly not know about such a big event.

"So let’s first rule out the possibility that the upper realm is the Magic World, and then…"

Ye Shubai was used to Wen Yun’s absolute focus when she was thinking, watching her pacing with her head down, quickly raising his hand to block her forehead.

Wen Yun avoided hitting her head on a rock and instead hit Ye Shubai’s palm.

She blinked and looked at Ye Shubai with a steady gaze.

The atmosphere was momentarily slightly ambiguous, but the next moment, Wen Yun spoke up.

"Do I look like the celestial being you all talk about?"

The hint of warmth in the air instantly dissipated, if it were Senior Zhu Erchong from the southwest region here, he would have replied, "You look like a celestial being board board."

Fortunately, Wen Yun asked Ye Shubai.

He really looked at her closely for a moment and earnestly answered, "Yes."

Wen Yun was stunned, could it be that the celestial beings in the cultivation world are truly Masters of Magic?

Ye Shubai calmly said, "It is said that immortals, both men and women, are born with extraordinary beauty that ordinary people dare not look directly at."

When she heard this, she was excited and asked, "Are you saying I’m pretty?"

However, the man ignored the question completely and said, "But if you’re wondering if immortals use magic like you, the answer is yes. They also seem to be skilled with various weapons and have strong bodies."

Ye Shubai’s words made Wen Yun surprised, and she forgot to be mad at him for not complimenting her again.

Wen Yun whispered, "Magicians cultivate spiritual power to make their souls indestructible; while cultivators practice breathing in spirit Qi to strengthen their spiritual power into powerful and invincible bodies."

The person opposite quickly understood her meaning and said, "If one cultivates both—"

"Then they will have indestructible souls and invincible bodies." Wen Yun finished speaking, then fell silent.

"Isn’t that like the legendary immortals?"

After saying this, Wen Yun was silent for a long time, as if she had grasped a key point but couldn’t quite understand it.

Before Wen Yun had the chance to tell Ye Shubai her vague guess, a tiny movement suddenly appeared.

Wen Yun squinted her eyes and swallowed the words she hadn’t finished.

She casually said to Ye Shubai, "Can I borrow your sword? I want to see if I can use sword energy to cut this stone out."

After taking the sword, Wen Yun first performed a beautiful sword dance as usual, then with a turn of her wrist, the tip of the sword lightly trembled, she leaped up and slashed at the Magic Stone at an angle.

As the sword slashed, Wen Yun felt a warm sensation overflowing from her lower abdomen, followed by countless sharp golden energy gathering to envelop the sword, even the surrounding air began to be filled with a solemn and murderous aura.

This is sword energy! It’s not magic disguise, but the true sword energy of a sword cultivator!

This powerful sword energy fell towards the Magic Stone Mountain, but after the sword fell, the entire stone did not receive any damage.

The result was completely different from the terrifying momentum just now, it even looked a bit ridiculous.

Wen Yun lightly tapped the ground with her toes, quietly put away the wooden sword, and her white skirt gently fell.

She didn’t look back, and said calmly, "I’m sorry, I accidentally cut the wrong thing."

In a corner behind her, a figure suddenly lost its ability to hide and fell down heavily. Little Hong’s blood flowed from between his eyebrows, leaving a red line on his face, giving off a strange and eerie beauty.

The sharp sword energy that was supposed to strike the Magic Stone actually pierced his forehead!

The man’s eyes, wide with fear and confusion, showed that he couldn’t understand why the sword energy appeared in front of him even in death.

Wen Yun squatted down, kindly trying to explain to the deceased man, "You see, we noticed you when you followed us in, but because you were too weak, we ignored you. Even though you overheard something you shouldn’t have, I hadn’t planned to silence you. Why did you show hostility after hearing a secret and try to attack me?"

She kicked away the long thorn knife the man was holding, which emitted a green light, clearly indicating its malevolent nature.

"If you’re curious about how you died, let me tell you."

She closed the dead man’s eyes, saying, "It was magic. My sword energy not only contains spirit Qi, but also spatial magic power."

Just now, Wen Yun was only trying to mix magic power with spiritual power, not expecting that she could actually use them together!

She was already quite knowledgeable in studying time and space magic. Even though she couldn’t completely master it, she had no problem manipulating the sword energy to teleport in a small area. However, as it was her first attempt, she was still not very skilled. For example, the wound on the person’s forehead was a bit off, which made Wen Yun feel uncomfortable.

So she closed her eyes and stopped looking at the person on the ground, counting the days on her fingers, only then did she realize that the Dark Heaven Secret Realm was about to open.

It seemed that this person had heard the commotion caused by the light arrow exploding the mine just now, and had quietly followed in, prepared to kill for treasures.

When she voiced her speculation, she saw Ye Shubai looking thoughtfully at the person on the ground, with a serious expression.

"What’s wrong?"

"He is not a righteous cultivator, he is a demon cultivator."

Wen Yun took a look and saw that the person was clearly dressed in the most common attire of the righteous path, it even looked somewhat familiar.

Ye Shubai tilted the person’s head, revealing a hidden area behind the neck, where a black snake with wings tattooed on it could be seen, quite eerie.

"Indeed." Ye Shubai frowned, "Demon cultivators do not follow family sects, only different tribes. Each tribe worships different gods, and this is the Black Winged Serpent God worshipped by the Feathered Serpent tribe. The people of this tribe are best at hiding and assassinations. If it weren’t for your exceptional mental power, I might have had a hard time detecting his presence."

Wen Yun said, "Wasn’t the Dark Heaven Secret Realm supposed to be opened by the righteous path? Why have demon cultivators mixed in?"

"I’m afraid a spy from the demon cultivators has infiltrated the righteous path," Ye Shubai looked down, his expression unreadable. "They must be planning something in the Dark Heaven Secret Realm, and we must stop them."

However, the Dark Heaven Secret Realm is so vast that once everyone enters, they are randomly transported to different locations. From the demon cultivators of the Feathered Serpent Tribe, it is evident that their concealment skills are very strong. It is quite difficult to track their movements.

Ye Shubai was only mistaken by the Dark Heaven Secret Realm as an immortal due to his unrestrained power, but he cannot always know what is happening in the Dark Heaven Secret Realm.

Wen Yun pursed her lips and glanced back at the huge Magic Stone.

"I think I have a solution."

"Hmm?"

She said seriously, "Magic arrays are powered by Magic Stones. If the Magic Stone has strong energy, the magic array’s effect will greatly increase."

Then she pointed to the Magic Stone Mountain, "What if I create a monitoring array centered around that Magic Stone, would it cover the entire Dark Heaven Secret Realm?"

This is a bold and crazy idea.

Wen Yun has long put aside the question of why the immortal lost Magic Stone Mountain in Dark Heaven Secret Realm. She is a practical person and prefers to focus on gaining control of the secret realm rather than pondering deep questions.

Yes, Wen Yun not only wants to root out the demon cultivator from the secret realm, but she also plans to become the master of the secret realm.

Compared to that, Ye Shubai’s activities of cutting trees and moving mountains in the secret realm seem too narrow-minded.

She quickly set up the monitoring formation. When the formation was completed, the entire Magic Stone Mountain suddenly burst with a strong wave of energy, nearly forming into a substantial gale that almost overturned Wen Yun sitting under the Magic Stone.

Wen Yun dared not open her eyes, simply because the magic formation was too powerful and covered too wide an area!

Monitoring formations are mainly used by wizards to set up around their Wizard Tower for defense against enemy attacks. The monitoring range is only a small area, and a fist-sized top-quality Magic Stone can support it for a year.

Needless to say, the size of the Magic Stone Mountain vein is known, but as for its quality… it is an ancient treasure buried for millions of years. Even Wen Yun cannot determine its true quality!

So when Wen Yun’s mental power touched the Magic Stone for the first time, her mind was almost overwhelmed by the countless information flooding in, about to explode.

At a distance of one thousand meters to the southeast of the desolate mountain, a clump of extraordinary medicinal herbs grew.

Stretching ten thousand meters to the north, there is a spiritual herb slowly bearing fruit.

To the west, there is a tall mountain, with trees growing on it that are familiar and exciting, all of them turned out to be Fire Hemlocks over a thousand years old, there is even one that is estimated to be ten thousand years old…

Every plant, animal, and living being in the entire Dark Heaven Secret Realm fell into Wen Yun’s eyes.

Wen Yun slowly opened her eyes, feeling overwhelmed by the vast information that had invaded her mind just now, she still felt a splitting headache now, as she stood up, she staggered and almost fell forward.

However, this time, she did not fall flat on the ground, but fell into the arms of the man beside her carrying a faint scent of white plum.

She took a deep breath, muttering softly, "Headache…"

Ye Shubai, who was originally going to help her up and then let go, paused his action, maintaining his current posture and allowing her to lean on him.

Wen Yun calmed her mind, trying to process all the images in her mind, then whispered, "It seems like he is the only one who entered the Dark Heaven Secret Realm now, I haven’t seen anyone else. Of course, there could still be others, after all, if someone deliberately used concealment techniques or treasures, it would not be detected by the monitoring array."

From above, a man made a low sound of "Hmm," Wen Yun realized she was in the wrong position.

Her heart was trembling, but she kept a calm and cool face, stepped back neatly, maintaining distance from Ye Shubai.

"While others haven’t entered the secret realm yet, let’s go and collect the good things first."

Dark Heaven Secret Realm is a place with many talented individuals. Anyone who enters can freely search for and take treasures based on their abilities. It is said that this was a rule set by the immortal in the beginning.

Unfortunately, Wen Yun’s abilities were too great, coupled with Ye Shubai, whose powers were not sealed…

Dark Heaven Secret Realm finally became the backyard of these two.

"To the west, on several mountains there is a thousand-year fire hemlock plant. I want to use it to make a new wand."

"Go there, I saw a new patch of herbs growing there. Although I don’t recognize them, Wanbao Pavilion seemed to sell them on the top floor before…"

"Wait, turn back quickly. That wild chicken we saw earlier looks very delicious. Let’s go back and hunt it for a roasted chicken tonight."

"…"

Wen Yun stood on Ye Shubai’s wooden sword, directing it. It had become her special ride, taking them wherever she pointed. Thanks to his Sword Control Art, they moved as fast as teleporting in a secret realm.

Indeed, the Sword Control Art of a sword cultivator was much faster than a magician’s Floating Skill.

Wen Yun felt extremely pleased as she swept the millennium fire hemlock into the space bag. She didn’t hesitate to praise, "You sword cultivators are really fast at everything."

Ye Shubai nodded in agreement, saying, "In the world of martial arts, speed is key. It applies to the way of the sword and to sword cultivators. They naturally do everything quickly."

Wen Yun had thought that a righteous person like him would stop her from plundering the Dark Heaven Secret Realm. She even prepared herself to hear him say, "Do not be too greedy, always leave a way out."

However, Ye Shubai’s actions in collecting treasures were even more decisive than hers. His digging for spiritual jade was faster, even swiftly collecting a thumb-sized piece of broken jade.

Wen Yun couldn’t help but fall into contemplation at his skillful demeanor.

Why did she feel Ye Shubai’s mannerisms were so familiar? He reminded her of someone she couldn’t quite remember.

"My space bag is full, please give me yours."

Ye Shubai spoke coldly and clearly, still looking like a fairy in white clothes. Unfortunately, he was holding a bunch of muddy Lingzhi mushrooms in his hand, and his palm was covered in mud.

Wen Yun came back to her senses, almost getting shocked by this sentence.

Even the space bag is full, did they really empty out the Dark Heaven Secret Realm?

"No."

Ye Shubai seemed to understand her thoughts and explained lightly, "Treasures under a thousand years old are all just miscellaneous items without value, so I didn’t take them."

After hearing this, Wen Yun felt somewhat sorry for those treasures under a thousand years old. She sighed, about to take her space bag off her waist to give it to him, when her hand suddenly stopped.

She looked down at the space bag.

It was green-blue, with beautiful ink bamboo painted on it.

"I finally know who Second Master Brother learned to raid warehouses from…" she whispered and abruptly stopped speaking.

Wen Yun gazed into the distance.

Her mental power had already imprinted on Magic Stone Mountain, so now the surveillance array’s images were being transmitted synchronously into her mind.

"Someone has entered Dark Heaven Secret Realm!"

Wen Yun grabbed the potion from Ye Shubai’s hand and stuffed it into the space bag, then pulled him up with a wooden sword, saying, "Hurry, there are allies coming in from the southeast!"

Ye Shubai stared at the mud on his hand, feeling slightly uncomfortable as he tried to pull it back, but Wen Yun, caught up in the excitement, didn’t notice and urged him to fly faster.

He tightly pressed his lips together, watching her delicate hand that he had dirtied as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, Ye Shubai didn’t wait for a chance to clean Wen Yun’s hand, as soon as the flying sword reached the southeast, she leaped down.

"Two senior brothers!"

Just then, two male martial artists came in and shouted in surprise and disbelief, "Martial Sister Wen!"

Ye Shubai silently watched the scene from a distance and decided not to approach.
