My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Ruan Chayan said with difficulty: "To be honest, I don't remember. I just know that I was in a lot of pain at the time. It was like the pain was spreading from the inside out of my brain."

"If it weren't for the fact that it spent points to redeem the elixir, I would be an idiot by now," said Xian Ge.

Luo Hanying nodded thoughtfully: "The cultivators inside that formation..."

She was almost speechless. "I feel disgusted just thinking about that image. I'm so glad you didn't end up like that."

Ruan Chayan patted Luo Hanying on the shoulder: "Don't think about it. I know, I feel disgusted too. It's just too bloody and cruel."

"By the way, I saw Fusheng emerge from your upper dantian just now. Did you two form a pact?"

Luo Hanying smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry, she is the one who acknowledges me as her master. I have actually benefited from this misfortune."

Ruan Chayan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If you were to become a slave to an object for my sake, I would never forgive myself in this lifetime."

"Hey! How dare you speak like that? To be a servant of a divine artifact like me... mmm!"

Fusheng had just popped out, hands on hips, and said a few words when Luo Hanying grabbed him again and pressed his forehead against hers. Fusheng, inside Luo Hanying's mind, stomped his feet in anger: "You're being arbitrary! How could you not let me speak?! You're inhuman!"

Luo Hanying pretended not to hear Fusheng's accusation and continued to ask, "We are now on the spirit boat of the Shiren Sect. Where are we going?"

You said a month has passed, and the outside world already knows about the Light Ruins Secret Realm?

“We are still outside the Light Ruins Secret Realm, so please listen to me.”

Ruan Chayan recounted the whole story she had heard and the events of the past month in detail.

The Guangxu Secret Realm opened before the predicted opening date of various high-level cultivators, almost ten days earlier than originally planned.

The cultivators from various sects, including Shiren Sect, Baiyu Zhai, and Beiwen Temple, rushed to be among the first to enter the secret realm. However, none of them made any contact with the outside world after entering.

The secret realm belongs to another dimension, and there are situations where communication jade slips cannot contact the outside world. At first, the various sects did not take this matter to heart, and cultivators continued to pour into the secret realm.

That day, Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying were taken hostage by Qin Fansheng and traversed the shattered void to arrive at the Guangxu Secret Realm. Everyone saw the appearance of the Golden Flower Cat and the Two-Headed Fire Scale Python.

The fearsome reputation of the Demon Lord Huaiwei was so widespread that cultivators from all sides hesitated to enter the secret realm. Even so, there were still those who were not afraid of death who plunged in headfirst.

Immediately afterwards, everyone discovered that none of the cultivators who had entered the secret realm had come out. Many cultivators had promised their fellow cultivators outside that they would go in to investigate and then come out to report back, but they had all disappeared without a trace.

Only then did the cultivators realize something was wrong, and they dared not enter the secret realm casually.

Time flows differently within the Guangxu Secret Realm than outside. One day outside is two days inside the Guangxu Secret Realm. Therefore, even though they spent several days in the Guangxu Secret Realm and experienced many intrigues and life-or-death battles, only a few days had passed outside.

That's why Ji Daoyun and the others had time to gather together and believed that they had been in the secret realm for more than half a month.

Since the disciples of Shirenzong, Baiyuzhai, and Beiwen Temple escaped from the Guangxu Secret Realm, they have exaggerated and spread the news that Wenren Ya had told them.

News of the depletion of spiritual energy in the Canghai Realm, the Taibai Pavilion's aiding and abetting of evil, and the celestial messengers from the Upper Realm has now swept across the entire Canglan Realm.

The cultivators of the Canglan Realm had mixed opinions about the authenticity of the Immortal Envoy. Even though they coveted the Immortal Envoy's ability to help cultivators ascend quickly, they were, after all, cultivators of the Canglan Realm, people who had been slandered by the Immortal Envoy, and people who stood on the opposite side of the Immortal Envoy. No matter what they thought, they stopped there.

The reason why the spirit boat of the Shiren Sect was able to bring cultivators to the outside of the Guangxu Secret Realm so quickly is that the Shiren Sect, together with dozens of famous sects and aristocratic families from Nan Yue Shenzhou, Dong Lai Shenzhou and Xi Man Shenzhou, sealed Zhong Han Shenzhou after a rough investigation of it. After hearing about the suspicious points of the Guangxu Secret Realm, they rushed here.

Without the cultivation level of the Mahayana stage, no cultivator can set foot in the Central Han Divine Continent anymore. Although cultivators can no longer go to the mortal realm, this measure also prevents the mortal realm from being disturbed by the cultivation world again.

The ability of cultivators to move mountains and fill seas is undoubtedly a disaster for mortals.

Now, as long as a cultivator attacks the sealing formation, the sealing formation will issue an alarm, and then the disciples of each sect stationed at the corresponding positions on the border will be responsible for handling it. Even if they neglect their duties and ignore those matters, there will be no more dangers from cultivators in the Central Han Divine Continent.

If the celestial messenger were to personally come to sacrifice mortals, it would be an inescapable calamity for the mortals. It would be the celestial messenger violating the laws of nature and morality, and this is all the cultivators of the Canglan Realm can do.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered something."

Ruan Chayan said with a complicated expression, "As everyone knows, the last cultivator to ascend in the Canglan Realm was Daoist Ci'an Gu Liuzhi."

After hearing that the celestial envoy came from the upper realm, the cultivators of the Shiren Sect contacted Sect Leader Hua and Sect Leader Li. They learned that the sect had tried to contact Daoist Ci'an, but had not received a response.

Luo Hanying doubted whether she had misheard, and also wondered if Ruan Chayan had said something wrong: "Contact Daoist Ci'an? He has already ascended to immortality, how can we contact him?"

"That's what happened."

Ruan Chayan told her what she had found out: "Thousands of years ago, the connection between the upper and lower realms was very close. Ascended cultivators would choose a blessed land or grotto in the upper realm and proclaim themselves as immortals. After having believers and Taoist temples or shrines in the lower realm, they could enjoy the power of the believers' faith."

I've heard that the celestial energy and spiritual energy in the immortal realm are similar, making cultivation extremely difficult. Immortals who want to quickly improve their cultivation must rely on the power of faith.

Although it is rare for immortals from the upper realm to come directly to the lower realm, it is not difficult for them to manifest their images through their actions.

They would use miracles to help believers, thereby consolidating the power of faith for cultivation;

In addition, some immortals from the upper realms will attach their consciousness to their followers to help them fulfill some harmless wishes.

Back then, sects with ascended cultivators could practically roam freely in the lower realms with the help of such high-level immortals.

As for contacting Cixi Daozun, believers or close friends and relatives of those who have ascended to heaven can offer incense and call upon them after worshipping their portraits, attempting to communicate with them.

Clearly, our Shiren Sect cannot contact Daoist Ci'an.

Luo Hanying rubbed her temples and sighed, "My goodness, this is really..."

These mystical and superstitious things still sound quite impactful today.

"Who says it's not?"

Ruan Chayan glanced at Sheng Meixu and the patients who had just gotten up, and said in a low voice, "You don't know, now some people are also doubting whether what Wenren Ya said is true, whether our Ci'an Daozun of the Shiren Sect offended the immortals after his ascension, which is why our Canglan Realm has suffered such a great calamity."

Luo Hanying exclaimed, "Ah! So they're already trying to shift the blame? Why isn't it other ascended cultivators who got into trouble?"
