Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"We inform our master that the reason we refined the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm is not only to bypass the Yuan Tian Sect's blockade, but also to refine the entire secret realm and manipulate all the cultivators inside as if they were turtles in a jar."

The black-robed man at the head bowed and revealed everything, "Especially the disciples sent in by the Yuantian Sect to search for opportunities, some of whom are said to be at the true master level. If they all perish here, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Yuantian Sect."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun immediately realized what a vicious plan this was: first, to use the Biling Lake Secret Realm as bait to lure Yuan Tian Sect and other forces into it.

Then they secretly sent people to refine the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm. When the time was right and the refinement was complete, everyone in the secret realm would be at their mercy.

For Xu Yun, this was simply unimaginable.

"Was this really orchestrated by your Blood Fiend Sect?"

Xu Yun's face was grave as he asked the question in disbelief.

It's utterly absurd for a Foundation Establishment sect to be able to scheme against a major power like the Yuan Tian Sect, which is considered a major force in the entire Yuan Kingdom.

But they actually managed to do it, just like a Qi Refining cultivator defeating a Foundation Establishment cultivator – it was completely unbelievable.

"Of course not. It was our Blood Fiend Sect's superior sect, the Heavenly Nether Palace, who told us about the restrictions and refining techniques of the Azure Spirit Lake."

The man in black robes was clearly of high status and knew a lot of inside information. He immediately uttered words that shocked Xu Yun.

"It's actually the Heavenly Underworld Palace... that makes sense."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, "Tianming Palace is one of the major powers in Yuan Kingdom. It is on par with Yuantian Sect and is also a major demonic force."

Its fearsome reputation and cruelty far surpassed that of the Blood Fiend Sect, making it a truly deserving major sect of the demonic path. However, this was the first time he had learned that the Blood Fiend Sect was actually a vassal force of the Heavenly Underworld Palace.

Clearly, even within the entire Blood Fiend Sect, only a few people knew about it.

"Do you know where the restrictions on this Azure Spirit Lake secret realm are located? And what is the cultivation level of the Blood Fiend Sect members who are currently refining the restrictions?"

After processing this information, Xu Yun pondered for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something. His eyes darted around, and he couldn't help but ask.

The man in black robes was taken aback upon hearing this, then respectfully replied, "Of course I know. As for the one responsible for refining the restriction, it is Yanming, a true disciple of Yan. His cultivation level should be at the late stage of Qi Refining, at the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but also became increasingly excited.

Since he is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, then Daoist Tianlin, this remnant soul of Foundation Establishment, can be dealt with easily. As long as he is not a true Foundation Establishment master, then there is a high probability that he can be defeated.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately knew that this was his opportunity and he absolutely could not miss it.

As long as Daoist Tianlin captures Yanming, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, then he can directly seize the position and take over all the restrictions and arrangements that Yanming has refined.

At that time, everyone in this secret realm will be at his mercy. Not only will he be able to easily complete the tasks issued by the Initial Saint System, but he can also plunder countless opportunities. It's simply perfect!

"Come on, take me to meet your disciple, Master Yan."

Xu Yun gave the order, and the banner spirits naturally dared not disobey. They immediately and respectfully led their master to the location of the restriction in the Biling Lake Secret Realm.

Rumble!

Meanwhile, as Xu Yun and the others traveled, the tremors of the Biling Lake Secret Realm became increasingly violent and frequent, even directly affecting the outside world.

"What's going on? Why has the atmosphere of this Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm become so strange?"

On a mountain peak, Cheng Yutian, dressed in loose clothing, frowned slightly, no longer as relaxed as before. He immediately stood up and looked solemnly at the trembling Biling Lake Secret Realm.

This was an anomaly that had never occurred in the secret realm before, which made Cheng Yutian's subconscious sense that something was wrong. In particular, when he scanned with his divine sense, he could vaguely sense that the restrictive aura of this Biling Lake secret realm seemed to be somewhat different from before.

This situation immediately made Cheng Yutian feel uneasy. However, the outside world was separated from the secret realm, and he was unable to communicate with the disciples inside using his methods.

"Why, why can't I get in!?"

"Me too, someone clearly went in before."

"What happened?"

At the same time, a series of surprised and astonished voices rang out from below, immediately attracting the attention of Cheng Yutian and his group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As their gaze swept across the scene, they saw that the hazy halo that had been rippling gradually stopped flowing, as if it had stopped. Although it still resembled a portal, no one could enter it again.

Similarly, no one can get out of it.

"This... Senior Cheng, what exactly is going on!?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't understand what was happening and was very worried about his juniors, so he anxiously looked at Cheng Yutian.

As a disciple of the Yuantian Sect and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one's perspective and knowledge should be broader than theirs.

"I have already sent a message to the sect. You will all follow me to maintain order here. Remember, do not act rashly before our sect's seniors arrive!"

With a grim expression, Cheng Yutian sent out a message and flew into the distance. He then looked back at the trembling Biling Lake Secret Realm and clenched his fists.

The anomalies in the Biling Lake Secret Realm have exceeded his capabilities. For now, the only option is to send a message to the sect. Until then, all he can do is wait and see.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry, especially for the Yuan Tian Sect disciples who were still in the secret realm. He wondered how they were doing and whether they were safe and sound.

........

Meanwhile, within the secret realm of Biling Lake.

Inside an ancient hall.

The bricks here are old and worn, the ground is covered in dust, and there are cobwebs all around. It looks dilapidated and seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

However, at the deepest part of the hall, a blue circular light rippled out, flowing erratically. If one looked closely, one would find that this blue circular light was formed by various intricate and mysterious patterns.

At the center of this cyan halo sat a handsome man with a somewhat sinister air. He had long, slender fingers, a tall and straight figure, and jet-black hair that fluttered in the wind.

At this moment, the handsome man's face was filled with boundless joy and excitement. "It's almost time! We'll soon have completely refined the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm. When that happens, everyone in this secret realm will be at the mercy of my Blood Fiend Sect!!"

Yanming has now completed most of the refinement of the restriction and completely closed the entrance to the Biling Lake Secret Realm. Once he has finished refining the restriction, he will be able to use the power of the Biling Lake Grand Array to annihilate everyone!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but marvel at the terror of the Heavenly Nether Palace once again. Not only did they know the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm, but they also possessed the means to allow a Qi Refining cultivator like him to refine the restrictions. It was simply astonishing.

Once the mission is completed and all the cultivators within the secret realm are wiped out, Yanming will surely have achieved great merit. I wonder how the sect leader and Tianming Palace will reward him.

After all, he had wiped out several true disciples of the Yuantian Sect, which dealt a huge blow to the younger generation of the Yuantian Sect and might lead to a lack of successors.

With this thought in mind, Yanming worked even harder to refine the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm.
