Immortals Step into Heaven

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly and said, "Let's do as the two brothers say." In fact, even if they didn't say anything, Zheng Yuan himself was planning to find a chance to leave. He had a treasure like the Spirit-Seeking Rat in his Spirit Beast Bag. In a place with abundant spiritual herbs, with the help of the Spirit-Seeking Rat, treasure hunting would be much easier. It could be a great aid in obtaining countless natural treasures, and he didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and quickly left in different directions. Their figures soon disappeared in this secret realm.

Elsewhere, upon entering the Yunlong Sect's secret realm, Xiao Yuan's face lit up with uncontrollable joy. He carefully pulled out two maps from his pocket. The maps looked a bit worn, but they clearly marked a portion of the Yunlong Sect's secret realm. Every route and every key location was detailed, crucial for his upcoming treasure hunt.

He had actually deliberately leaked the outer portions of the two maps long before. Otherwise, how could the Yunlong Sect's secret realm have been discovered so quickly? Xiao Yuan was well aware of the stakes involved, and he didn't dare keep the maps too secret. If that happened, those greedy cultivators would surely search for him everywhere if they learned he had the maps of the Yunlong Sect's secret realm, and he would be doomed.

There are so many benefits for him to reveal some of the information on the map.

When Xiao Yuan thought of those silly monks helping him find the secret realm for free without knowing it, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

He only had two maps of the Yunlong Sect's secret realm, and he had no idea where the other parts were.

He wouldn't be able to find the entire secret realm even if he spent his entire life searching. Furthermore, he couldn't possibly conquer this vast secret realm alone. After all, he couldn't get in alone. Therefore, leaking the map and letting others clear the way for him was his best option at the moment.

After seeing the map clearly, he headed towards the central area indicated by the map.

Zheng Yuan carefully looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, he carefully released the spirit-seeking rat from his storage bag. As soon as the spirit-seeking rat appeared, it twitched its small nose cleverly, and its small black bean-shaped eyes kept rolling around, as if it had sensed the mysterious aura hidden around it. Its furry body twisted flexibly, and its small claws kept rubbing the ground.

It seemed to have already locked onto the target. Zheng Yuan watched the spirit-seeking rat and felt secretly delighted. It seemed like this time there were signs of a big discovery.

The spirit-seeking rat suddenly ran in one direction for a moment before scurrying towards a thorn bush. Zheng Yuan, using his magical powers to shield himself, followed closely. A faint light flickered within the bush, and the spirit-seeking rat eagerly hopped around, chirping. Zheng Yuan swung his Water-Rippled Sword, severing the thorns. A magical herb emitting two rays of light, one blue and one red, appeared before him. It was a centuries-old ice and fire grass.

Zheng Yuan frowned, his gaze fixed on the nearby spirit-seeking rat. Normally agile, the rat cowered beside a boulder, its eyes etched with fear, its body trembling slightly, not daring to move a single step forward. Zheng Yuan wondered, could some unknown danger lurk within this seemingly peaceful surrounding?

Zheng Yuan no longer hesitated, whistled softly, and summoned the Soul-Seeking Rat to his side. His expression was solemn, and he pinched the magic formula with his hands, controlling the flying sword under his feet to rush towards the Ice and Fire Grass. The flying sword streaked across the air, shooting towards the target like a silver lightning. This Ice and Fire Grass grows in a strange place, surrounded by spiritual energy. Its leaves shimmer with the light of ice and fire, and are a key ingredient for refining precious elixirs. When the Water Ripple Sword was about to pierce the Ice and Fire Grass, suddenly, a Fire Horned Snake of the late first stage suddenly jumped out from the bushes nearby. This Fire Horned Snake was huge, covered with fiery red scales, and shimmered with a metallic luster under the sunlight.

The pair of sharp horns on its head shone like blazing flames, now raised high. With a fierce lash of its powerful tail, it sent the Water Ripple Sword careening away with a whistling gust of wind. The Water Ripple Sword spun in midair, nearly losing control. The Fire Horned Snake's cold, ruthless eyes fixed on Zheng Yuan, its long, thin tongue hissing repeatedly as if issuing a warning.

Zheng Yuan, undeterred, quickly pulled the North Sea Staff from his storage bag. The moment Zheng Yuan grasped the staff, the fire-horned snake suddenly attacked, opening its maw and spewing a massive fireball. The fireball, scorching with heat, slammed into Zheng Yuan, distorting the surrounding air.

Seeing the fireball approaching, Zheng Yuan quickly used his agility to dodge to the side like lightning. The fireball passed by him and hit the ground behind him, exploding instantly, sending dirt and rocks flying and leaving a large, charred crater in its place.

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he twisted his huge body and rushed towards Zheng Yuan again, so fast that it caused a gust of wind.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuan used the Thirteen Stick Techniques of the North Sea, sending out two stick shadows to hit the fire-horned snake.

The Fire Horned Snake faced the incoming stick shadows without flinching or dodging. Flames erupted from its body, instantly scorching and distorting the surrounding air. The stick shadows struck the flames like a drop in the ocean, easily swallowed by the flames, creating only a few insignificant ripples.

Zheng Yuan was shocked. The power of this fire-horned snake was far beyond his imagination. He continuously poured his own magic power into the Beihai stick. He shot out four stick shadows.

The Fire Horned Snake attacked again, its maw opening wide. From its mouth, a fireball even larger than the previous one erupted. The violent energy within it caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly. Zheng Yuan stomped his feet on the ground and leaped high. The Beihai Staff spun rapidly above his head, forming a shield. The moment the fireball collided with the shield, a dazzling burst of light and a tremendous roar erupted. The powerful impact pushed Zheng Yuan back several steps.

After Zheng Yuan stabilized his body, his face turned grim. He knew that he could no longer passively take the beating like this. He had to take the initiative to attack and find the flaws of the Fire Horned Snake. He injected his magic power into the North Sea Stick again. The North Sea Stick was shining with light, and the stick was faintly filled with the cry of a dragon.

Zheng Yuan rushed towards the Fire Horned Snake like a ghost, swinging the Beihai Stick in his hand in a more complicated trajectory, and the stick shadows covered the Fire Horned Snake like entities.
