"Since you think so highly of me, Senior, I am willing to cooperate with you. However, I still want to say that if we encounter any danger, I may not be capable enough. If the treasure retrieval fails, I hope you won't blame me."
Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and agreed to cooperate with the Azure Fox King.
However, he still said something that might offend this demon king. But the Azure Fox King didn't mind his words and chuckled.
"You're a cautious one. Don't worry, if I can't make it, I'll send an avatar to assist you in retrieving the treasure. This treasure is located on the fourth level of the Tianyuan, which is not easy to reach. With your strength, there is also some risk. By the way, I must remind you again that the Tianyuan is different from other secret realms. There are desolate spirits comparable to Nascent Soul level inside. Even we would have trouble encountering such monsters. You should be careful and avoid areas with heavy turbid energy."
Desolate spirits comparable to Nascent Soul level. Hearing this news, Zhang Ling's heart tightened. But he still nodded.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior. I will be careful."
Thus, he reached a verbal agreement with the Azure Fox King. They also discussed the specific details through voice transmission, and indirectly learned some information about the Tianyuan Secret Realm from this demon king.
According to the Azure Fox King, the Tianyuan can be seen as a very large sinkhole. And this sinkhole is not the kind on the ground, but a real sinkhole located in the sky.
No one truly knows how the Tianyuan was formed. It is only known that the Tianyuan was formed along with the splitting of the original continent.
After the Tianyuan was sealed by ancient cultivators, it was divided into several areas, roughly divided into seven levels.
The first three levels can be regarded as the outer areas, and the fourth level onwards are considered the central areas, with considerable danger.
The seventh level is the core area of the Tianyuan, and it is the area where turbid energy is sealed. It also poses a certain threat to transformed demon beasts and Nascent Soul old monsters like them.
He was previously unaware of this information, but now he learned it from this demon king. This added a bit more pressure to his heart.
In fact, Zhang Ling knew that this kind of temporary cooperation was very fragile and carried great risks, but opportunities and dangers often coexist.
Since he had already agreed to the Azure Fox King, Zhang Ling also began to consider his actions after entering the Tianyuan.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During this period, more than a dozen more cultivators arrived, but no other Nascent Soul level cultivators arrived. Until another day passed, the five-colored light curtain flickered, and two cultivators, one fat and one thin, appeared.
The fat cultivator was a ruddy-faced old Taoist with a full head of silver hair, who looked around with a smile as soon as he appeared.
Next to him was a tall, thin, pale-faced young man with sunken eyes, wearing a tight-fitting yellow robe, and many glittering jade bottles hanging from his waist, looking very strange.
As everyone's gaze swept over these two, many people gasped, because these two were also Nascent Soul cultivators.
Zhang Ling's eyes also lit up. He had seen the fat old man before, he was the Real Person Linghe who appeared for the human race at the beginning of the Hidden Demon Valley.
Real Person Linghe looked around at the surrounding cultivators, and also noticed the Crimson Fire King and other demon kings. His brows furrowed a few times, but he only slightly nodded to the tall, thin youth next to him, and flew towards the human race Nascent Soul cultivators.
Afterwards, they seemed to be talking. But they were using voice transmission, so Zhang Ling naturally couldn't hear it.
In the following time, the cultivators gathered here fell into a strange atmosphere. Whether it was a Golden Core cultivator like Zhang Ling, or these Nascent Soul cultivators, and the several demon kings, they all remained quite calm.
Time passed like this for another two days. Apart from three or four more Golden Core cultivators arriving, no other cultivators arrived.
On the fifth day, the ruins where everyone was located suddenly trembled slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred. The tremor was not obvious, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many cultivators stood up directly, and some people even showed joy on their faces. Zhang Ling also stood up at this moment, releasing a part of his divine sense to pay attention to the surroundings.
He found that the spiritual light was flickering above everyone's heads. The original gray-yellow sky was flickering with black light, and the sky was dyed pitch black, as if it was night in an instant. Among them, one could see streaks of colorful starlight streaking across the sky, like a meteor shower, which looked quite dazzling.
For a time, everyone looked up to observe this scene.
After the phenomenon in the sky lasted for a while, a rumbling thunder sounded, and then the dark sky quickly turned blue and white as if it was being dyed, as if it had instantly turned into daytime.
But strangely, a bright sun rose, and with the golden halo rotating, two identical suns appeared, as if there were three suns in the sky. At the same time, six full moons emitted a clear moonlight on the other side.
For a time, stars and moons appeared together in the sky, and the three suns and six moons strangely emitted circles of halo.
This amazing celestial phenomenon caused everyone to stare blankly, and even the Nascent Soul old monsters and demon kings looked at the celestial phenomenon in the sky with different expressions.
And this celestial phenomenon appeared suddenly, but it gradually faded and dissipated in a short period of time, and the sky returned to its original appearance.
Then Real Person Linghe flashed and flew into the air, and with a flash of spiritual light in his hand, he threw out a dark object.
With a flash of black light, it transformed into a square stone pillar more than ten feet high and two feet wide. Dense golden and silver spiritual patterns flickered on it, turning into a layer of golden and silver halo, spreading to the surroundings.
This movement was not small, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"I am Linghe of Myriad Manifestation City. I think many people present recognize me, so I won't introduce myself too much. Now that the time has come, I represent Myriad Manifestation City and generations of ancestors to announce the opening of the Tianyuan. I hope that all fellow Taoists will work together to kill the high-level desolate beasts inside and stabilize the seal after entering.", Real Person Linghe said in a deep voice.
Saying this, the old man waved his hand, and the stone pillar he sacrificed made a cracking sound, and suddenly split into more than a dozen huge stones, flying to the sky above the sealed teleportation array. They rumbled and fell around the teleportation array.
The golden and silver spiritual patterns on the stones flowed quickly, all gathered on the teleportation array, and the gray-white spiritual light sealed on it turned into starlight and dissipated. Revealing the sealed teleportation array inside.
This is an ancient teleportation array with a diameter of twenty feet, built entirely of black giant stones. At this moment, a layer of five-colored spiritual light rises from above, and in an instant, it becomes a five-colored beam of light.
Real Person Linghe and the tall, thin youth flashed to the side of the teleportation array and took out several array plates to carefully check it.
