Wen Xiangjie's arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.
A 15-year-old Golden Core True Person, Wen Xiangjie was undoubtedly the most prominent figure in the Cultivation World at this time.
"This must be True Person Wen Xiangjie," a female Cultivator at the Golden Core stage said, approaching Wen Xiangjie with a kind smile.
"And you are?" Wen Xiangjie responded politely.
"I am Ling Xiang of the Water Cloud Sect," Ling Xiang introduced herself with a smile.
With Ling Xiang leading the way, other Cultivators at the Golden Core stage and Nascent Soul Stage also began to introduce themselves to Wen Xiangjie.
A 15-year-old Golden Core True Person, her future was certainly limitless. Those who were brought along by the leading powerful Cultivators from these major Cultivation Sects and Cultivation Families were all intelligent individuals, and naturally, they all wished to befriend Wen Xiangjie.
The Lingyao Peak Peak Lord and other powerful Cultivators did not interject, smiling as they watched these prodigies connect.
The other disciples could only watch this scene with envy.
"During this Secret Realm expedition, those demons will certainly enter through other passages. At that time, we Cultivators must unite and help each other," Ling Xiang said seriously.
"Especially from the Demon Realm, there is a notorious demonic Cultivator named Qing Gui, who loves to hunt down the prodigies among us Cultivators. His cultivation, according to our Cultivators' cultivation levels, should now be at the mid-Nascent Soul Stage."
Ling Xiang looked at Wen Xiangjie with concern: "Jie'er, you must be careful. You are definitely on his hunting list."
Wen Xiangjie glanced at the 67 points remaining on her panel and nodded: "I will."
Just as everyone was conversing, the temperature at the entrance of the Secret Realm suddenly surged again, and the blazing flames scorched the space at the entrance, causing it to ripple and distort.
"The Secret Realm is about to open," the Lingyao Peak Peak Lord said after probing with his divine sense.
The other leading powerful Cultivators nodded; their investigation results were the same as the Lingyao Peak Peak Lord's.
"Jie'er, you must be careful, careful, and even more careful," the Lingyao Peak Peak Lord couldn't help but admonish her once more.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will," Wen Xiangjie said with a smile.
The temperature at the Secret Realm entrance climbed higher and higher; even with Wen Xiangjie's early Golden Core stage cultivation, she could feel the scorching sensation washing over her.
Deep within the flames, a vertical golden line silently split open, slowly pulling apart into a crack.
Once this crack stretched to ten meters, the spatial energy at the Secret Realm entrance finally ceased its turbulence and stabilized, and the temperature also stopped rising.
An ancient, distant, and clear phoenix cry, piercing through time and space, resounded loudly.
All the Cultivators present heard it clearly.
"It's a phoenix cry! This Secret Realm is indeed related to the Phoenix Clan!"
"I didn't expect Wutong River to actually have been a dwelling place for the Phoenix Clan. I thought it was just a legend matching the place name."
"The inheritance left by the Phoenix Clan must be extraordinary! If one can obtain a great fortuitous encounter from the Secret Realm, they can ascend to the heavens in one step!"
"Be careful. Opportunities always coexist with dangers. Who wouldn't covet a Secret Realm with the Phoenix Clan's inheritance?"
"Indeed, it's not just us Cultivators entering this Secret Realm, but also those demons!"
With the Secret Realm open, Wen Xiangjie and others, escorted by the Lingyao Peak Peak Lord and other powerful Cultivators, naturally became the first group to enter the Secret Realm.
As Wen Xiangjie stepped into the golden crack, she heard the system prompt sound that she hadn't heard for some time.
【Your Destiny 10, Luck 10, you will be randomly teleported to one of the Secret Realm's important resource areas.】
A flash of white light, and Wen Xiangjie was teleported to a place that looked like a medicinal garden. Her nostrils were filled with a fresh medicinal fragrance, and with each breath, Wen Xiangjie could feel abundant spiritual energy entering her body, even causing her cultivation to increase ever so slowly.
Just by breathing the spiritual energy in this medicinal garden, one's cultivation could increase, which showed how precious the spiritual herbs planted here were.
Wen Xiangjie naturally accepted all of them into her possession without ceremony.
What sustainable development, what leaving a line for others, leaving some resources for others—impossible, absolutely impossible.
If she saw it, it was hers!
Wen Xiangjie directly walked around with her storage ring, collecting everything wherever she went. Like a wild goose plucking feathers, wherever Wen Xiangjie passed, the medicinal garden was left barren.
While Wen Xiangjie was busy collecting spiritual herbs, the other Cultivators and demons who entered the Secret Realm were not so fortunate.
How could the Phoenix Clan's Secret Realm be so simple?
A rogue Cultivator had just excitedly entered the Secret Realm, and his vision had just brightened before it immediately went dark again.
He watched helplessly as he fell out of thin air into a poisonous pond, and was directly swallowed by a giant python that suddenly shot out of the pond.
Before his consciousness disappeared, his last thought was.
This goddamn Secret Realm, directly teleports people into a giant python's mouth, what's wrong with it!!!
Although the other Cultivators and demons weren't as unlucky as this rogue Cultivator, their luck wasn't much better.
Either they were teleported into the Thousand Peaks Forest and chased by thousands of poisonous bees, or they were teleported into the territory of winged tigers and relentlessly pursued by them.
These Cultivators and demons were simply unable to express their suffering.
If they had accidentally stumbled into these demon beasts' territories themselves, it would have been one thing, but they were directly teleported here by the Secret Realm—they were wronged!!!
Unlike the chaos and turmoil encountered by other Cultivators and demons after entering the Secret Realm, Wen Xiangjie's side was simply peaceful and calm.
She hummed a tune, frantically sweeping through the spiritual herbs in the medicinal garden, with the Elf Queen sitting on her shoulder.
The Elf Queen held a beautiful petal of the Undetermined Secret Lotus that Wen Xiangjie had given her, happily playing with it, using it as a small cape draped over herself.
This medicinal garden was simply too vast. Wen Xiangjie felt like she might have directly swept away all the spiritual herbs that the Phoenix Clan had painstakingly cultivated for tens of thousands of years.
Suddenly, a jade pendant hanging from Wen Xiangjie's waist emitted a low hum.
This was a warning jade pendant personally refined by the Lingqi Peak Peak Lord for Wen Xiangjie. When this jade pendant vibrated, it meant that someone was approaching Wen Xiangjie's direction.
The Elf Queen on Wen Xiangjie's shoulder immediately flapped her small wings, changing from sitting on Wen Xiangjie's shoulder to standing on her shoulder, her two large eyes wide open, looking very alert.
Wen Xiangjie's movements in collecting spiritual herbs became even faster.
The spiritual herbs here, once seen by her, were all hers. She would not allow anyone else to share in them.
She hoped that the newcomers were enemies. If it were those familiar prodigies from other Cultivation Sects and Cultivation Families, it would be harder to deal with.
Not long after, a figure descended into the medicinal garden.
He was stunned for a moment upon seeing this medicinal garden, then his face filled with wild joy.
Good, his luck was not bad. Although he was chased by a strange bird immediately after entering the Secret Realm, he had not only successfully escaped the strange bird but also found this treasure trove!
