After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Seeing tens of thousands of cultivators rushing towards the secret realm at once, their frenzied momentum startled Xu Qingman and her husband. They tightly gripped their children, fearing that in the blink of an eye, their children would disappear.

They'd rather have less than let their own children be in danger. These people are crazy; they're just like those old folks back home who snatch eggs.

They had just witnessed a Foundation Establishment cultivator being repeatedly trampled underfoot, barely breathing.

After most of the crowd had left, the family of four followed and went inside.

"Wow, is this the secret realm? The spiritual energy here is so rich, right, brother?"

"Yes, little sister, you're right." Little Stone nodded, answering his sister's question with a serious expression.

The siblings have always had a good relationship, and Little Stone has always been a good older brother. He would never argue with Little Candy unless he had no other choice.

For some unknown reason, the secret realm was inaccessible by sword flight. The family was so frightened that they quickly used a spell and discovered that their spiritual power could still be used normally.

After trying it again, I found that talismans and magic weapons were not restricted either. No wonder none of the cultivators in front of me used swords; they all ran in.

This is the consequence of being out of touch with information. With no other option, the whole family put on their blimps. Luckily, they had prepared for this in advance.

"Daddy, Mommy, which way should we go?" Little Candy asked sweetly.

Yu Jinchen pointed to the left, "Let's go to the left. I just observed that the other three sides are mostly filled with sect disciples."

Although those three directions might have more good stuff, there are only four of us, so it's best not to compete with them.

Xu Qingman and her two children agreed. In any case, the secret realm wouldn't close for another six months, so they had plenty of time to find good things.

After the family discussed it, they hurried to the left. Many people had already passed by, and all the good stuff had been taken.

It wasn't until three or four days later that they occasionally managed to gather a few spiritual herbs. However, these were just ordinary items, and they didn't find anything of value.

Just when the family thought the day had passed by, they sensed a significant fluctuation in spiritual energy nearby, guessing that they had encountered something good.

I circled that spot several times, but I still couldn't figure out what it was that could generate such a large fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Just as they were about to give up, Little Stone looked at a large rock with a puzzled expression and tried to move it.

Once the stone was moved and a large hole was revealed, they discovered that a natural isolation array had been formed, cutting off all the spiritual energy inside the cave.

If it weren't for the passage of time and the leakage of a trace of spiritual energy that they discovered, no one would have noticed this inconspicuous place at all.

Once Xu Qingman broke the formation, the spiritual energy inside the cave immediately rushed towards her, its density exceeding that of the surrounding area by several times.

The family quickly crawled into the cave, and Xu Qingman swiftly restored the formation, adding several more layers and a hidden array plate inside.

Now even if a cultivator passes by, they won't be able to notice anything unusual.

Upon entering the cave, they did not find the spirit stone mine they had imagined; instead, they found only ordinary black stones embedded in the stone walls.

Out of curiosity, Yu Jinchen pried off a piece, held it in his hand and examined it carefully. "Oh my, Manman, do you think this is Xuan Tie Stone?"

I remember last time at the Cloud Mist Sect, Ancestor Lei Ling used this stone, along with some meteorite iron, to forge these two natal swords for us.

"Now that you mention it, it does look quite similar. Xiaoqing knows how to identify these things, so why don't you..."

Before Xu Qingman could finish speaking, Yu Jinchen stopped her with a tense expression and transmitted his voice, "No, unless it's absolutely necessary to save a life, we shouldn't mention the Qingxuan Space in the secret realm, and we certainly shouldn't go in casually."

After all, we don't know who controls this secret realm, or whether they are watching our every move.

Hearing Yu Jinchen's words, Xu Qingman's heart tightened. She realized that she had indeed been careless and dared to bring up the matter of entering the space in such a place.

Just the fact that one cannot fly on a sword is enough to show that this secret realm is definitely not simple.

After figuring it out, Xu Qingman quickly sent a telepathic message to the two children, telling them not to bring up any topics related to the Qingxuan Space here.

The digging took several hours. Fortunately, they had prepared more than a dozen storage rings before entering the secret realm in case of special circumstances, since Yu Jinchen knew how to refine them himself.

The family was very satisfied with the black iron stones that were almost filling a storage ring of more than 20 square meters. They knew that once they got out, they could sell these for a lot of spirit stones.

After the family had collected all the black iron stones inside, the two children were exhausted and didn't want to move anymore.

Since the cave was still safe for the time being, the family decided to stay and have something to eat, and let the children rest for the night.

When the two siblings woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, the couple had also finished their nightly cultivation.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a secret realm coveted by all the major sects. Putting aside the rare treasures inside, the concentration of spiritual energy alone makes one night of cultivation here equivalent to ten days outside.

After a quick wash and while the two children ate breakfast, the family continued on their way.

Less than a quarter of an hour after they left, several figures rushed toward this place from a distance. One of them, a male cultivator at the Golden Core stage, stopped and even turned around once.

"Uncle-Master, I sensed a dense spiritual energy that flickered in and out of existence in this very area yesterday. I can't be mistaken, but why can't I sense it now?"

Suddenly, the Nascent Soul female cultivator traveling with them pointed to a large rock beside them and said with a slightly tense expression, "Look, there seem to be several footprints here."

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Haotian Zhenren, who was addressed as "Shishu," tried to move Shi Kai aside, revealing a cave that had been dug into disarray. It seemed they were too late.

It is clear that the treasure here has already been claimed by someone else. Judging from the marks on the stone wall, it can only be roughly identified as some kind of ore, but it cannot be confirmed.

The male cultivator in the Golden Core stage was so angry that he slapped himself in the face. It was all his fault. Why did he have to go to his senior uncle and senior sister? Why didn't he just dig it himself?

"Alright, Heng'er, don't be angry. It was right for you to come to us when you realized something was wrong. Otherwise, as a Golden Core cultivator, you would be lucky if you weren't killed and had your treasure stolen by others."

We can only blame our bad luck; this treasure never belonged to us, so it didn't matter who dug it up.

Seeing that his senior brother's disciple was in such distress, the Nascent Soul cultivator could only offer some words of comfort.

“But Master, our sect is too poor. It took us a lot of effort to scrape together a few hundred high-grade spirit stones to send us into the secret realm. It’s all the fault of Junior Sister Xiao and the others. If they hadn’t been so troublesome, we would have been here long ago.”

After the Nascent Soul female cultivator finished speaking, she stomped her foot angrily.

On the other side, Xu Qingman and her family of four were walking forward.

Suddenly, the two children who were happily running ahead of their parents screamed and ran behind them to hide, clearly quite frightened.
