“So, it seems this mysterious secret realm indeed has many suspicious points,” Jiang Chenxuan agreed with Qin Shenwu’s keen observation.
“Then next, I will instruct Elder Sun to keep a close watch on that particular secret realm. I believe it will surely yield some results,” Jiang Chenxuan said slowly, and his command was promptly relayed to Elder Sun.
The vast information network of the Haoran Sect began to pivot towards the area Jiang Chenxuan had indicated.
Over the next few days, both Jiang Chenxuan and Qin Shenwu harbored some expectations. They felt that within that secret realm, there must be some clues hidden.
Soon, a new piece of information was dispatched from Elder Sun’s side and delivered to Jiang Chenxuan.
However, the information investigated wasn’t about what happened inside the secret realm.
“The cultivators who were illuminated by the mysterious light of the secret realm and fell unconscious woke up without any abnormalities. Moreover, according to some cultivators, after that bout of unconsciousness, their condition for cultivation seemed to have improved,” the report detailed.
“Some even experienced immediate epiphanies upon waking up, breaking through their cultivation bottlenecks.”
These updates were undoubtedly about the cultivators who had entered the secret realm, thus the information had arrived quite swiftly.
“How do you see this, Ruyan?” Jiang Chenxuan asked with a serious look after reading through all the messages, turning to Shen Ruyan who was beside him.
She also frowned slightly, feeling the increasing strangeness from these messages.
“Collective unconsciousness followed by collective epiphanies. When has such an opportunity ever existed between heaven and earth? This is truly unheard of.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chenxuan nodded slightly, in agreement.
Previously, when they both had emerged from their great cultivation success, Jiang Chenxuan had also employed similar methods, allowing the disciples of the Haoran Sect to collectively enhance their cultivation.
But that was because Jiang Chenxuan also practiced the Haoran Sect’s techniques and was very familiar with the sect’s cultivation methods, allowing him to achieve such results.
Such techniques, similar to the infusion of power, are known to drain the practitioner greatly, yet no one had ever heard of a mysterious secret realm inducing unconsciousness in recipients like this.
And that secret realm’s light not only made cultivators from the five sects and eight schools increase their cultivation abruptly but also led them to enlightenment, which was very peculiar.
All of this further deepened Jiang Chenxuan’s suspicions about it.
But without more information coming in, he was unable to make any judgment.
…
Several days earlier.
Under Jiang Chenxuan’s orders, Elder Sun of the Haoran Sect decided to personally investigate this mysterious light secret realm.
Upon his arrival at the location of the secret realm, what he saw was a sight of numerous cultivators lying unconscious.
They lay scattered like drunken men, clad in various sect uniforms, spread out outside the secret realm, their expressions incredibly vacant as if they were dreaming.
Simultaneously, at the periphery of the secret realm, several cultivators sat cross-legged, their foreheads flickering with mystical lights, and their aura continuously strengthening.
Obviously, they were those who had experienced sudden insights due to the light from the secret realm and had chosen to break through right there.
These two types of cultivators had completely surrounded the mysterious light secret realm. With Elder Sun arriving later, he could only observe from a distance.
Deep within the secret realm, boundless mystical lights soared into the sky, illuminating the universe and emanating an extremely strange and powerful aura.
Even with Elder Sun’s cultivation level, just looking at it from afar made him feel a bit pressured.
Nevertheless, an unending stream of cultivators kept flocking to this secret realm, almost every moment, people came after hearing about it.
Elder Sun naturally would not approach the secret realm to avoid being affected by its powers.
His first action was to wait for those affected by the secret realm’s light to complete their breakthroughs before he approached to inquire further.
After collecting and organizing this information, he would send it back to the Haoran Sect to inform Sect Master Jiang Chenxuan.
As a core figure in the Haoran Sect, Elder Sun had a vague understanding of the investigations conducted by Jiang Chenxuan and others.
Being there in person, he felt the secret realm’s power was exceedingly strange and believed that the sect master’s judgment was probably correct.
However, as the “ears” of the sect, his job wasn’t to analyze or make decisions based on feelings. Regardless of his sentiments, he had to find the oddities of this secret realm to report them.
But just then, Elder Sun, looking forward, was shocked as he witnessed an incredibly unbelievable scene.
“How is this possible!”
Before his eyes, the previously immense secret realm and the sky-reaching mystical lights suddenly vanished without a trace.
Such an occurrence made him cry out in disbelief.
“What’s wrong, Elder?” his disciple asked, seeing his shocked expression.
“When did the secret realm disappear, Yan’er?” Elder Sun, still in shock, urgently asked his disciple, not really expecting the question he was posing.
“Shifu, what are you talking about? The secret realm has always been there,” replied the disciple, confused by Elder Sun’s sudden panic.
At this moment, Elder Sun turned around again, his brows furrowed deeply. What he saw was still just an empty space.
“Yan’er, are you certain you can still see the secret realm?”
The peculiarity of the situation sent chills through Elder Sun, making it hard for him to believe the words of his own disciple.
“Yes, master, the secret realm is right there. Why would I deceive you?” responded the disciple, equally shaken by his master’s anxious demeanor.
This reply confirmed for Elder Sun that something unusual had indeed occurred with the secret realm.
Without any hesitation, he leaped across the void to the edge of the secret realm, grabbing a cultivator from the Seethrough stage to question them intensely.
“Fellow cultivator, is the secret realm of mystical light right here?”
This line of questioning, fueled by Elder Sun’s imposing aura, confused the cultivator, but under pressure, he managed a nervous smile and said.
“Honored one, the secret realm… isn’t it right behind you?”
Upon hearing this, Elder Sun immediately released the cultivator and moved on to another, continuing his inquiries. However, after asking several more cultivators, all answers were the same.
The secret realm had not disappeared; he just couldn’t see it!
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Elder Sun issued a quick order to his disciple:
“Yan’er, keep a close watch on this secret realm. If there are any changes, you must inform me as quickly as possible.”
Then, in the next moment, his figure turned into a streak of light, racing back towards the direction of the Haoran Sect.
…
Shortly thereafter, outside Yunwu Peak, Jiang Chenxuan and Shen Ruyan stood suspended in the void, their eyes fixed on the approaching figure of Elder Sun.
