Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Therefore, when he asked this question, it was also a probe to gauge Song Hanchun's reaction and see if he could glean some useful intelligence.

As expected, upon hearing the question, Song Hanchun's face slightly changed, but he quickly returned to normal.

In fact, Golden Sword Sect also suffered significant losses during the beast tide battle, and Elder Xue, whom Zhu Yun mentioned, had also perished in the conflict.

Apart from that, another Golden Core Cultivator at the early stage from Golden Sword Sect also fell on the battlefield.

However, the deaths of these two Golden Core Cultivators were not witnessed by external cultivators.

Therefore, the news of the demise of the two esteemed Golden Core Cultivators was sealed by them; the outside world was completely oblivious.

At this moment, Song Hanchun waved his hand and laughed, "Elder Xue was injured in the great battle and has been in closed-door cultivation ever since, unable to extricate himself, which is why I am leading the team."

While laughing, Song Hanchun managed to appear quite composed and quickly changed the topic.

However, despite Song Hanchun hiding it extremely well, Zhu Yun still detected this faint change.

In truth, Zhenyang Sect had also heard some rumors and made some speculations, but alas, they had no evidence.

Now, based on Song Hanchun's response, Zhu Yun was also certain of the fact of Elder Xue's demise.

However, Zhu Yun remained composed and did not dwell on the matter, promptly engaging Song Hanchun in casual conversation.

As the two Golden Core Cultivators chatted idly, the disciples of Golden Sword Sect jumped down from the flying boat one by one, landing on a clearing diagonally opposite the Zhenyang Sect.

They moved swiftly, and over thirty cultivators quickly found their spots, then also sat on the ground, sizing up the cultivators from Zhenyang Sect from across the way.

Lin Tianming likewise surveyed the Golden Sword Sect cultivators, assessing the strength of the opposing side in his heart.

Among this group of Golden Sword Sect's cultivators, there were indeed several at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, more than ten in the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, and the rest at the Seventh or Eighth Levels.

The other three Loose Cultivators participating in the Secret Realm were all above the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, among which there were individuals at Foundation Establishment Great Completion.

On their side, Hu Yuan and Zheng Xiao were both at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, a bit lacking in comparison to the three cultivators who had recently left Golden Sword Sect's battlefield.

While Lin Tianming sized up the opposition, the three Loose Cultivators also looked over at them.

In response, Lin Tianming looked back, locking eyes with the three directly, with only brief contact before each shifted their gaze.

For some reason, as Lin Tianming observed one of the Loose Cultivators in Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, he felt a strange palpitation in his heart, sensing that this person was extremely dangerous.

Yet upon closer reflection, he was certain he had never seen this person before, and all characteristics seemed ordinary, revealing nothing unusual.

Nevertheless, the so-called pressure this person brought upon him was a profound sensation, albeit hard to articulate.

"Forget it, once we enter the Secret Realm, I must be extremely cautious, especially of this person!"

Lin Tianming secretly thought to himself, memorizing the faces and the aura of their cultivation levels deep in his heart.

This quiet waiting continued.

The following day at noon, when the scorching sun was high in the sky, another flying boat descended above the crowd.

This flying boat was immensely large, with its pale blue light continuously flickering, exuding a very extraordinary presence.

This flying boat was indeed from Myriad Medicine Valley, and although it was also of Second Order Superior rank, the quality was obviously superior to those of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.

As this grand entrance unfolded, everyone looked up, watching as the cultivators from Myriad Medicine Valley descended from the boat, the last to arrive on the scene.

At a glance, the cultivator leading the group wore a blue Daoist robe with pale white hair, already appearing to be of a venerable age.

However, despite his old age, it was clear he was no ordinary individual.

Lin Tianming had come across some records about this person in various classics.

This person was a Golden Core Cultivator from Myriad Medicine Valley known as Luo Anzhong, a well-established Golden Core expert, ranking within the top three oldest among all known Golden Core Cultivators in Wei Kingdom.

Though he was also at the Early Stage Golden Core Cultivation, his appearance immediately attracted the attention of Zhu Yun and Song Hanchun.

Upon spotting the newcomer, Zhu Yun and Song Hanchun promptly went forward to greet Luo Anzhong with courteous salutations.

"Luo Daoyou, it's been many years since we last met, I hope you've been well!"

"Indeed, Luo Daoyou is nearly five hundred years old," Luo Anzhong said with a faint smile. "The last time we met was over forty years ago. It's unexpected that your sect chose Luo Daoyou to lead the team this time,"

Hearing the polite remarks of Zhu Yun and another, Luo Anzhong smiled faintly and soon started chatting with the two of them.

As the Myriad Medicine Valley cultivators arrived, the one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators entering the secret realm had all gathered.

Among the three great sects, there were a total of ninety Foundation Establishment cultivators, with six loose cultivator spots on the battlefields of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.

Only the battlefield for Myriad Medicine Valley had four loose cultivator spots. Altogether, precisely one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And indeed, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators who came with Myriad Medicine Valley were not to be underestimated either; all had cultivation above the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, with two at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

When it came to Myriad Medicine Valley disciples, their lineup was somewhat stronger than that of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.

There were as many as seven at the Foundation Establishing Great Perfection Realm, fourteen at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and the remaining nine were all at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Level Realm.

Among these Myriad Medicine Valley disciples, the legendary disciple with a Sky Spiritual Root, Yang Chen, was surrounded by fellow disciples as if stars clustered around the moon.

At that moment, seeing the Foundation Establishment disciples from Myriad Medicine Valley, Lin Tianming finally saw the true features of most of the top genius cultivators in Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World.

This scene truly embodied a gathering of geniuses.

In view of this, Lin Tianming compared the overall strength of the three parties based on the cultivation of these Foundation Establishment disciples.

Unsurprisingly, relying on more Foundation Establishment Great Perfection disciples, the overall strength of Myriad Medicine Valley disciples was indeed stronger than that of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.

The gap between Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect was not substantial, and on the surface, Zhenyang Sect had only a slight disadvantage.

This made it understandable why Myriad Medicine Valley had the most ancient heritage among the three great sects.

Even though it had declined in recent years, a camel dead from starvation is still bigger than a horse, and the disciples cultivated by nearly ten thousand years of heritage were truly formidable.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming paid extra attention to the disciples of Myriad Medicine Valley.

As they were observing the Myriad Medicine Valley cultivators, the opposite was also true.

Clearly, it was only during such a treasure-hunting opportunity that the top disciples from the three great sects would be convened together.

Like Lin Tianming, all the cultivators present had an extraordinary bearing, seeming to await an opportunity to confront one another in the upcoming journey into the secret realm.

Amidst the noisy atmosphere, the cultivators communicated privately, memorizing these potential opponents in their minds.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

At noon this day, the blazing sunlight shone across the land.

At that moment, the temperature soared rapidly, and a sandstorm raged across the barren, causing a storm to appear suddenly.

With such changes, the three Golden Core cultivators present immediately sensed something.

In an instant, Luo Anzhong and the other two Golden Core cultivators leaped into the sky, rising a thousand feet into the air.

"Fellow Daoists, the scorching sun is overhead, and the storm is upon us; the time is nearly upon us. Let us open the portal to the secret realm!"

Luo Anzhong shouted, then took out a fiery red jade token and held it firmly in his hand.

Seeing his action, Zhu Yun and Song Hanchun were not to be outdone and each took out a similar jade token and held it in their hands.

Then, the three nodded to each other and, in different voices, they exclaimed, "Shortly, we will open the portal to the secret realm. All of you enter quickly; the portal will open again in one year's time."

"Those who remain inside after that time will be responsible for their own life or death."

Hearing this, all hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators stood up, and all of them widened their eyes, staring into the void, waiting for the portal to the secret realm to appear.

Seeing this, Zhu Yun and the others did not delay and threw the jade tokens they held toward the front.

As the jade tokens appeared, they swiftly positioned themselves in three different directions, emitting a fiery red glow from their surfaces.

Then, the three of them formed hand seals, and beams of spiritual light struck each of their jade tokens.

Simultaneously, beams of light appeared in the palms of their hands, accurately striking the three jade tokens.
