Chapter 571: 571 enter
Seeing a crack appear in mid-air, it slowly widened.
Inside it was pitch-black, swirling continuously like a tornado.
It looked quite terrifying. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the entrance seemed to stabilize.
At this moment, a Taoist with an immortal demeanor opened his mouth with a smile.
"Alright, the entrance is now open. The duration is six months, and after six months, we will be here to welcome everyone back triumphantly.
Everyone knows the rules for entering, right? It’s not easy practicing Dao, so don’t kill each other. I hope everyone will watch out for and help each other.
Alright, I won’t ramble on, now everyone enter in order, don’t push."
Although he was smiling while speaking, his pressure wasn’t retracted at all. For small fry in the Qi Cultivation Stage, it was truly intimidating.
Of course, the people from the sects went in first. Only after they had entered did it become the turn of the loose cultivators.
Tan Shaoting was already on high alert. There were 1,500 loose cultivators, while there were only 600 cultivators from the six sects.
In the previous life, such secret realms had very few slots for loose cultivators.
This was absolutely abnormal. So when it was almost his turn, he took out the Immortal Binding Rope from space and directly tied the four father and sons together. They couldn’t be separated now, and Tan Shaoting regretted it; he should have let the three children stay in space for more safety.
There was no point in saying anything now, so he instructed the three children to hold on tight.
Tan Shaoting’s position was relatively far back, and by the time it was their turn, their setup was quite eye-catching.
After stepping in with the three children, there was a feeling of weightlessness. But it didn’t last long.
The moment he landed, Tan Shaoting stabilized his body, knowing that the three children hadn’t been separated from him, he silently gave thanks in his heart.
When the four father and sons landed, they didn’t find anyone else present, which was due to random teleportation.
They were perhaps quite lucky; though it was very quiet here, there wasn’t any unfamiliar presence.
"Dad, I feel especially comfortable," Qi Hong whispered to his father.
"Mm. There might be a lot of spiritual medicine here. Let’s not rush and adapt for a bit."
Tan Shaoting extended his Divine Sense to the maximum, confirming there was no danger.
"Alright, let’s start. Don’t rush, and be sure to watch for safety."
The father and sons followed Qi Hong, and shortly after, they saw a large patch of spiritual medicine.
Tan Shaoting did not recognize a large portion, "We may have been transported to a medicinal field. I’ll transplant some into space.
Pick them yourselves and put them in the Jade Box to preserve their efficacy.
Also, let’s not pick them all. Doing so would go against harmony; we should leave some for others."
The three children nodded.
The four of them began the task, with Tan Shaoting picking those with a higher age. Ten of each would be planted in space, fifty kept in the Jade Box, and the rest left alone. Everything must have a limit.
As they picked medicine and moved forward, their harvest was quite substantial, but in that vast medicinal field, it was just a drop in the ocean.
When they left the medicinal field, five days had already passed.
"Alright, let’s leave this place and explore other areas."
They left the field smoothly, and only after stepping out did they realize it was an array.
After they left, a phantom image appeared in the medicinal field, nodding in the direction of the departing father and sons. It muttered, this father and sons are decent. Especially that Wood Spirit Root boy, truly a good seed. Hopefully, he’ll successfully reach the senior brother.
After exiting, Tan Shaoting felt the hairs on his back settle; he’d always felt watched in the medicinal field.
Now out, he felt much more at ease. Qi Hong turned his head, "Dad, why is there nothing there?"
"Array, I’m not sure what kind of array.
Well, now that we’re out, the danger increases, with demon beasts and more people. Be careful.
If things look bad, throw down the Array Plate; just make sure to protect yourselves."
Tan Shaoting had repeated this countless times but still felt the need to say it again.
The three children didn’t show any impatience, obediently nodding.
The father and sons began to move forward, "Have any of you felt anything?"
"Dad, are there Gale Rabbits here too?"
"Probably not; although they’re rabbits, they’re likely a different species. Be careful."
This place might suppress both cultivators and demon beasts. Within Tan Shaoting’s Divine Sense range were only First-tier Demon Beasts, no higher levels, not even Second Rank.
The three children were excited. This was a legitimate chance to practice, and Treasure House accepted these demon beasts.
They could practice and earn Spirit Stones.
Tan Shaoting followed behind the children, watching them fight demon beasts.
But after all, they were only three-year-olds and couldn’t maintain their stamina.
When they were exhausted, they’d throw down the Array Plate and meditate to recover.
The spiritual energy within the secret realm was much denser than outside, so Tan Shaoting also cultivated. After ten days, he successfully reached the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation.
He advanced two levels at once. The children remained at the fourth layer, but they could use spells, and Qi Yan tried to use other spells since it was too special and might be discovered.
Tan Shaoting guided their shortcomings, speeding up their progress.
The three siblings competed to see who could defeat the most demon beasts.
Tan Shaoting wouldn’t participate in such matters, just ensured they were safe.
The children alternated between swordsmanship and spells, advancing quickly.
They made continuous gains along the way, harvesting a lot of spirit plants. Tan Shaoting planted each type in space, who knows when they might be useful?
Step by step, they progressed, resting when tired.
"Dad, which direction should we go to find the way back?"
"I don’t know either. But I feel we won’t find it here. Do you three feel anything?"
The three children shook their heads, not sensing anything.
"Then we’ll just go with the flow, it’d be great if we find it, but if not, it means it’s not here.
Actually, I think the path back is in the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm we left.
But whenever there’s a secret realm, we must explore it; we can’t abandon even a one percent hope."
The father and sons hadn’t truly rested for a month. So Tan Shaoting cuddled the three children to sleep; it’s the best way to relieve fatigue. He had to ensure the children were well so that their mother wouldn’t be sad when they returned.
