CHAPTER 673: EXITING THE SECRET REALM

This Demon Race ancestor, after several hundred years, finally created a new Cultivation Technique.

This Cultivation Technique is called "Thousand Transformations Demonic Techniques," cultivating both immortality and demon techniques. It can absorb Spirit Qi and demonic energy, and especially, it can also change one's appearance.

It allows the Demon Race to disguise themselves as members of the Human Clan or Demon Clan, thus infiltrating the ranks of the Human-Demon Alliance.

Wang Hong had Wood Fairy bring out a copy of this Cultivation Technique for him.

After a brief glance at the jade scroll containing the Cultivation Technique, he put it away. Such complex matters needed further careful study back home.

Only then did he start tidying up the battlefield. Daoist Li was already dead, and Wang Hong walked over to take down the dozen or so Storage Bags hanging from his body.

"You guys come out here to spy, yet the Demon Race won't even spare a Large-sized storage magic weapon?" Wang Hong grumbled, hoisting the bunch of Storage Bags.

Daoist Li and his group had spent a long time searching in the secret realm, so naturally, they had acquired quite a few treasures, hence the numerous Storage Bags on their persons.

An Immortal Cultivator who once soared through the skies with an air of immortality now looked rather mundane with a bunch of bags hanging off them.

"We're just cannon fodder. Do you think there'd be such good treatment?" Wood Fairy retorted before setting Daoist Li's body on fire.

Wang Hong also collected the belongings of the single surname female cultivator. Despite his efforts to save her twice, she ultimately met her end here.

Surviving in the Cultivation World was never easy, especially when lacking strength. It was best not to get involved in matters concerning the powerful.

"I happen to be short of a maidservant. You can stay by my side from now on," Wang Hong said, turning to head towards the next location, where many buildings remained unsearched.

"Does young master require bedtime services? I can provide," Wood Fairy pursued him, trailing just half a step behind, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Bedtime services won't be necessary!" Wang Hong's face darkened. Through a spell, he could sense Wood Fairy's thoughts.

At this moment, Wood Fairy's mind was filled with various positions to topple him and drain him dry.

No wonder she could arouse desire; she was practically the embodiment of lust.

"Young master, I am skilled in everything. Give it a try, and you will surely be satisfied," Wood Fairy shamelessly persuaded Wang Hong. For the Demon Race, there was no concept of human ethics, so she didn't hesitate to speak so openly.

Although she had been frightened by Wang Hong's manipulation earlier, her courage had grown again.

Knowing that Wang Hong wanted her as a maidservant meant he probably wouldn't kill her.

Wang Hong ignored her. This witch was full of all sorts of nonsensical ideas.

At that moment, he found a five-story wooden tower protected by formations.

Above the tower's door hung a sign that read "Scripture Tower."

Wang Hong calmly took out an array plate and, with just a few simple movements, opened a passage through the formation.

"Ah! Is it that simple?" Wood Fairy was puzzled. They had previously exerted much effort and still failed to open any protected formations.

"Let's go, what are you standing there dumbfounded for?"

Wang Hong addressed the bewildered Wood Fairy before heading inside on his own.

Inside the Scripture Tower, Wang Hong briefly inspected each floor from the first to the fifth.

Although this Scripture Tower was just a branch of the Wan Kui Sect within the secret realm, its overall scale was much larger than that of the Qingxu Sect back then. ꭆâŊоᛒÊś

Moreover, the grade of the Qingxu Sect's various Cultivation Technique manuals, mainly focusing on Qi Cultivation and Foundation Building stages, paled in comparison to what was found here.

The various sects in Hezhou were similar, and the Great Chu Immortal Nation, inheriting the legacy of Hezhou, naturally couldn't compare.

However, the scriptures in this tower mainly focused on the Golden Core Stage, with quite a few books for the Nascent Soul stage as well.

Bringing back these books would greatly enhance the foundation of the Great Chu Immortal Nation.

Although he had decided to claim this secret realm as his own, for now, it was safer to move everything back to the main base on Qizhou Island.

After a brief overview, Wang Hong stored the rows of bookshelves into his space.

Wood Fairy looked around the empty Great Hall, feeling a bit dazed. How much treasure had to be plundered to achieve such speed?

Next, Wang Hong, accompanied by Wood Fairy, thoroughly searched all the remaining buildings here, reaping a rich harvest.

Wang Hong took out the array plate and easily led Wood Fairy out of the Nine Palace Three Talents Primordial Formation.

"We couldn't open any of the formations before. Every time we were about to break through, they would revert. Was this the young master's doing?" Wood Fairy had been puzzled about this for a long time. Seeing Wang Hong easily manipulating the Large Formation with the array plate, she already had her suspicions.

"Just a little trick," Wang Hong replied casually.

"You're so wicked, young master!"

After leaving the group of buildings, Wang Hong only briefly searched with Wood Fairy before heading towards the exit.

Now that he had refined the array pearl of the Nine Heavens Separation Fire Formation, he could easily control it, unlike before when he had to venture through the flame passage.

Using the array pearl in his hand, he easily found the correct position of the exit.

Wang Hong inputted a few runes into the array pearl. It emitted a faint light, and before him appeared a hazy white portal, concealing what lay beyond.

Having encountered many such portals before, Wang Hong stepped in without hesitation, with Wood Fairy following closely behind.

When he emerged from the light gate, he found himself in a mountain valley.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Wang, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I haven't forgotten our grudge from that one strike!" Wang Hong had just arrived when he saw Daoist Wei, whom he had almost killed in the flame passage.

Back then in the flame passage, Wang Hong had cleaved Daoist Wei in two with one strike, but he had managed to escape using a sacrificial technique.

Unexpectedly, after escaping, he had gathered a group of cultivators to wait at this exit, ready to seek revenge on Wang Hong and seize treasures once more.

"I was just thinking of finding you. Your return is most welcome." Wang Hong had indeed harbored such thoughts. Among the sixteen cultivators who came to explore with him, only he, Wood Fairy, and Daoist Wei remained alive.

Since he intended to claim this secret realm for himself, he naturally had to guard against any leaks of information. Wood Fairy had been subdued by him, leaving only Daoist Wei who had escaped that day.

It's truly a case of finding something without having to exert much effort.

"You're still stubborn even at death's door!" Daoist Wei led over a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators, ready to attack, wielding their magic weapons.

Wang Hong, however, had no intention of attacking. He simply gave a cold command, "Take action!"

Upon hearing this, Wood Fairy rushed out, thinking to herself how there were so many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Human Clan, leaving her, a weak woman, to fight desperately.

But before she could rush out, Wang Hong grabbed her with one hand. "I didn't tell you to take action."

At this moment, more than ten Black-robed cultivators appeared around the mountain valley.
