Chapter 949: Chapter 341: Three Brothers Explore the Secret Realm! Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen entered the portal and immediately felt the world spinning around them. Every direction turned into void, pitch-black, unable to use any mana at all. “The legend says that entering the Purple Shadow Secret Realm feels similar to the long-lost Teleportation Array, and indeed it does…” Lu Quanzhen muttered to himself, trying to make out his surroundings. But darkness enveloped him on all sides, endless and colorless. Had he not been forewarned, encountering such a situation suddenly would have sent shivers down his spine. After a moment, he felt a bit sore all over and dizzily opened his eyes. “So this is the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.” Lu Quanzhen rubbed his temples and surveyed the area. He found himself in a forest dense with Spiritual Energy, mist swirling around. Most striking was the purple gloom covering the sky dome. After ensuring he was in a safe area, he gently tapped his Storage Bag, setting up a simple Formation to regulate his condition. Although the teleportation hadn’t affected him much, since he was now in the Secret Realm, it was natural to maintain the best condition at all times. After all, with so many cultivators entering the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, conflicts and killings were inevitable. And the acquisition from the realm, amounting to fifty percent, was to be handed over to the Four Great Immortal Sects. This included Spiritual Herbs and Medicines, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Material tainted with the essence of the realm. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Assets pilfered from other cultivators, such as money, Magic Artifacts, and Spiritual Objects, were not included. Thus, most people in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm died not at the hands of Demon Beasts, but at the hands of other cultivators. “Hmm?” At that moment, Lu Quanzhen felt something and pulled out his Family Token from the Storage Bag. It indicated someone was within the range of the token’s sensing. He immediately knew it was his elder brother, Lu Ping’an. After all, without even thinking, he knew his younger brother Lu Qingshan wouldn’t likely seek him out immediately upon entering. The two had agreed that after entering the realm, they would see about meeting up in the central area, treating the outer zone like a trial area. Lu Quanzhen infused Spiritual Power into the token, responding to Lu Ping’an. This elder brother, with a steady nature, was not overly competitive and wouldn’t be a hindrance. Moreover, being a practitioner of Second Order Body Refining, he was reliable and provided an additional layer of security. As Spiritual Power was infused, the two Identity Tokens gradually formed an invisible connection, sensing each other remotely. They could discern each other’s rough location through the tokens. After recuperating for a long time, Lu Quanzhen’s condition fully recovered, and he lightly lifted his hand to retract the Formation Flags, starting to explore the Secret Realm. He chose not to fly with his artifact, nor did he hasten on his way. Instead, he carefully headed towards the direction of Lu Ping’an. After all, the Secret Realm was dangerous, and flying recklessly was like making oneself a live target. Moreover, the realm was filled with opportunities that needed to be slowly explored. “Hmm?” After walking several miles, Lu Quanzhen spotted over a dozen light cyan-colored fruits, the size of a thumb, growing on rocks in the distance. “Stone Cyan Fruit.” Lu Quanzhen immediately recognized what they were. However, by their color, these Spiritual Medicines were not quite ripe yet. But having encountered them, who cared if they were fully matured? Especially since he had prepared a Spirit Plant Bag in advance, allowing him to maintain some vitality of the Spirit Plants, which he could then transplant back home. Slapping his Storage Bag, a Low Grade Puppet appeared. He then operated the Puppet to go and pluck all thirteen Stone Cyan Fruits clean. After completing the task, he continued moving cautiously. “Hmm, so soon there is slaughter…” After a long walk, Lu Quanzhen suddenly smelt blood and abruptly halted, casting an invisibility technique. Carefully peering in the direction, he immediately spotted two corpses beside a dark pool; one decapitated, another stabbed through the heart. They lay on the ground as if mutually annihilated, with a strong stench of blood permeating the air. In the calm center of the adjacent dark pool, there was also a palm-sized white lotus, glimmering with a blue luster. “Mutual destruction? Water Cloud Lotus.” Lu Quanzhen’s eyes narrowed, filled with caution. After observing for a moment and seeing no movement, he tentatively sent a Low Grade Puppet out to approach the two bodies. However, just as the Puppet approached the bodies to retrieve a Storage Bag, ‘Whizzing!’ From the dark pool,silver needles shot towards Lu Quanzhen. “Clang clang clang!” Lu Quanzhen was well prepared, forming swirling vortexes of five colors around him, and a small dark shield appeared, blocking all the silver needles. Then, with a sudden slap of his hand, a five-colored torrent blasted towards the dark pool. “Boom!” The dark pool erupted with a loud noise, sending unknown amounts of water flying into the air. Suddenly, a beautiful girl in a light yellow dress emerged from the pool, coldly saying to Lu Quanzhen, “You’ve got some skill, now scram!” She was here fishing, and seeing that Lu Quanzhen was quite strong and cautious, she didn’t want to waste time and energy. “Luoxia Sect disciple.” Lu Quanzhen’s eyes slightly narrowed, showing no sign of backing down. He had always wanted to gauge the gap between himself and a disciple of the Immortal Sects. His previous sparring with Lu Qingshan was mere practice and didn’t reveal much. Now encountering a Luoxia Sect disciple, he naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to test his skills. “Courting death!” Seeing that Lu Quanzhen showed no intention of leaving, instead looking at her as if she were prey, the girl’s face flushed with anger, and she slapped her pale palm. “Whizzing!” In an instant, countless silver needles shot towards Lu Quanzhen, densely packed and nearly impossible to defend against. The ground, where a corpse with a heart-pierced chest was, also buzzed as the sharp cone spun madly, rushing towards Lu Quanzhen like a frenzied drill. “Five Elements Kunpeng Technique!”
