Chapter 736 - Challenging the Mystic Sky Cave
“I have no objections.”
Xue Ping said with a smile, shaking his head.
“Since Senior Brother Qin is willing, I naturally agree.”
“Good, then let’s wait for them to come back and we’ll discuss this matter with them,” Qin Shenwu nodded slightly.
At the same time.
Jiang Chengxuan had taken Shen Ruyan to his cave abode at Cloud Mist Peak.
During the time Jiang Chengxuan had been in seclusion, his senior brother Zhao Tianfan had upgraded the arrays around Cloud Mist Peak to Level 7.
Shen Ruyan, admiring the scenery of Jiang Chengxuan’s mountain cave abode, couldn’t help but smile and say, “Husband, your dwelling is quite serene.”
As they spoke, she took out a spirit fruit from her belongings and fed it to an elk named Little White that had approached them.
At this moment, the two of them had already explored the entire Cloud Mist Peak.
It was then that the communication jade slips they carried lit up simultaneously.
“Hmm, Shifu is calling us to go over,” said Jiang Chengxuan.
“Mine too,” Shen Ruyan added.
Without hesitation, after waving goodbye to Little White, they headed out from Cloud Mist Peak.
A short while later, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned to the reception peak.
After exchanging greetings with everyone present, Qin Shenwu began to speak,
“Chengxuan, Ruyan, we’ve called you here because there’s an important matter we need to discuss with you.”
Huh?
Hearing Qin Shenwu’s words, the couple was somewhat surprised.
Yun Yizhen added, “Indeed. Are you aware of the Thousand River Secret Realm within our Thousand River Secret Realm.”
“Thousand River Secret Realm.”
Both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were taken aback, then shook their heads.
Having ascended to the Celestial Floodgate Realm not long ago, they had spent most of their time cultivating and had little opportunity to learn about the realm’s specifics, including the Thousand River Secret Realm mentioned by Yun Yizhen.
At this point, Xue Ping chimed in with a smile.
“The Thousand River Secret Realm is managed jointly by the supreme and overlord sects,” Xue Ping explained, detailing the specifics of the Thousand River Secret Realm to the couple.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were quite astonished upon hearing this.
They had not expected such a secret realm to exist within the Celestial Floodgate Realm, offering strategic treasures that could be obtained from within.
Most importantly, this secret realm was only accessible to cultivators below Void Returning, with younger entrants having better chances of acquiring valuable treasures.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan understood the purpose of their summoning.
It was likely to send them into the Thousand River Secret Realm.
As if reading their minds, Yun Yizhen smiled and said,
“I’m sure you’ve all guessed by now.
That’s right, the reason we’ve brought you here is because we want you to venture into the Thousand Rivers Secret Realm.
Considering what we know about you, your age, compared to your achievements in cultivation, is quite young.
In fact, you’re younger than many others at your level of cultivation.
Of course, for your safety, we’ve set up a challenge you need to overcome before you can enter the Secret Realm. You’ll need to successfully get through the third level of the Mystic Sky Cave.
This is to ensure that you’re well-prepared and won’t face overwhelming dangers in the Thousand Rivers Secret Realm.”
“The third level of the Mystic Sky Cave?”
Having been in the Haoran Sect for nearly a hundred years, Jiang Chengxuan was somewhat familiar with this name, but Shen Ruyan was not.
She couldn’t help but turn to look at her Dao companion.
At that point, Qin Shenwu suggested, “Chengxuan, why don’t you explain to your Dao companion what the Mystic Sky Cave is?”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded and explained,
“The Mystic Sky Cave is essentially a place that simulates combat.
Upon entering, it generates opponents based on your cultivation level to test the extent of your strength within your realm.
Of course.
I don’t know the specifics since I haven’t entered the Mystic Sky Cave myself.”
“I see.”
Hearing her husband’s explanation, Shen Ruyan nodded in understanding.
“How about it? Do you want to try entering the Mystic Sky Cave now?” Xue Ping suddenly asked with a smile.
Hearing his words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at their respective Shifus.
Qin Shenwu and Yun Yizhen nodded.
“If there are no objections, then let’s head there now to see.”
“Yes!”
Both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan responded.
To be honest, they were also curious about the Mystic Sky Cave.
It was unknown what kind of strength the opponents simulated by the Mystic Sky Cave had.
Soon.
Jiang Chengxuan and the group arrived at an entrance that resembled a cave, led by Xue Ping and Qin Shenwu.
The cultivator guarding the entrance promptly bowed in respect.
“Greetings, Sect Master and Martial Uncle Qin.”
Both Xue Ping and Qin Shenwu nodded in acknowledgment.
Then, Xue Ping instructed, “Open the entrance to the Mystic Sky Cave.”
Turning to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, he smiled and asked, “Which one ofyou will go first?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “Sect Master, let me go first.”
“Alright. Remember, you can go all out in the Mystic Sky Cave.
If you encounter a lethal danger, the cave will automatically transport you out.”
“Yes!”
Jiang Chengxuan quickly agreed.
With a nod to Shen Ruyan and Qin Shenwu, he then stepped forward, entering the Mystic Sky Cave in an instant.
The scenery shifted, and Jiang Chengxuan found himself on a vast, empty plaza with no buildings in sight.
At that moment, crisp footsteps suddenly echoed in his ears.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Jiang Chengxuan immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Before him stood a demonic cultivator with a horn and silver scales on his face.
Since the Mystic Sky Cave simulated opponents based on the entrant’s cultivation level, at least for the first two levels, this demonic cultivator had the same cultivation level as Jiang Chengxuan, which was the late stage of Soul Formation.
“Die!” The moment the horned man saw Jiang Chengxuan, his eyes erupted with intense killing intent.
Buzz!
Instantly, a massive battle axe surged towards Jiang Chengxuan with deadly force.
