Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1488: Secret Realm Appears

Deep within the Qingming Mountains, surrounded by towering peaks, it forms a natural barrier, isolating the area from the outside world's hustle and bustle.

In this quiet and mysterious world, there lies a cold pool, about tens of meters in diameter, lying quietly in the valley.

The air around the cold pool seemed to have frozen, icy cold, and a thick layer of ice crystals had formed all around.

However, the water in the pool was as still as stagnant water, without the slightest movement.

At this moment, three figures silently landed on the edge of the icy pool. They were the Dao Integration Realm experts who had previously led Lu Chen and the others.

At this moment, the old man at the head of the group had his eyes fixed on the cold pool in front of him, his face showing undisguised excitement.

He then struck out with his palm towards the icy pool, and a terrifying force swept towards the pool, but the surface of the water did not ripple at all.

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes: "Water is like black iron, as heavy as a thousand pounds, a single drop can weigh ten thousand pounds, that's right, this is it. It seems we have finally found the place depicted in the incomplete map."

The other two looked excited upon hearing this.

"Brother, what should we do next?" one of them asked.

"According to the records in the incomplete map, the secret realm is hidden beneath this cold pool. Once I break the seal, I can enter it," the leading elder said calmly.

Then, his body trembled, and a terrifying aura surged from his aged body. Immediately, his hands quickly formed complex hand seals.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze with his movement, and streaks of dark blue light overflowed from his fingertips, gradually turning from ethereal to tangible, converging into a mysterious pattern.

The pattern was composed of countless intricate runes, each shimmering with an eerie light, as if containing boundless power. They swirled and intertwined in the air, eventually forming a perfect circular pattern.

The pattern resembled an ancient totem, exuding a mysterious and profound aura, its radiance dazzling and so captivating that one dared not look directly at it.

Just then, the old man completed the final step of the hand seal. A resolute look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly pushed his hands forward.

In an instant, the enormous, mysterious pattern rapidly merged into the icy pool from top to bottom.

The surface of the cold pool, which was originally as calm as a mirror, was now rippling, as if a huge stone had been thrown in, and the ripples spread outwards.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart, resounded. Then, a huge golden beam of light shot out from the bottom of the icy pool, soaring straight into the sky, its light piercing through the clouds and illuminating almost the entire sky.

The once clear blue sky suddenly turned gloomy and oppressive, with dark clouds gathering and lightning flashing. However, all of this could not obscure the brilliance of the golden pillar of light, which lingered among the clouds for a long time.

At the same time, the space on the surface of the cold pool seemed unable to withstand such a powerful impact, and it tore open, forming a spatial rift.

Thick fog filled the inside of the crack, with occasional flashes of lightning, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.

The elder at the head of the group looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky with a look of great alarm: "This is bad! The strange phenomenon in the secret realm is too powerful and has been exposed. Our formation can't seal it off at all. I believe someone will arrive soon. We must hurry and enter the secret realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man leaped into the spatial rift. The other two followed without hesitation.

Their figures moved like lightning, almost simultaneously leaping into the spatial rift...

Meanwhile, in a dense forest not far from the cold pool, Lu Chen was running at full speed as he fled.

Despite his best efforts, the burly man chasing him remained relentlessly pursued.

Both of them were completely focused on the chase in front of them, but when the golden beam of light shot into the sky, they couldn't help but stop and look up at the sky.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he thought to himself, "This is a sign that the secret realm has opened. Could it be that they have already cracked the secret of the Buzhou Mountain secret realm? I must go and see."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately changed direction and flew rapidly towards the direction of the pillar of light.

The burly man grinned greedily. "Looks like my brothers have succeeded. I need to kill this kid quickly. Huh? This kid's got guts."

Because he discovered that Lu Chen's change of direction was in the direction of the pillar of light, he immediately guessed his intention and angrily gave chase.

It's worth mentioning that it wasn't that the big man didn't want to catch up with Lu Chen quickly, but rather that he discovered that while the other's speed wasn't quite as fast as his own, it wasn't far behind, which is why he was delayed.

At the same moment, Hong Yin and Gu Nanqiao also noticed the golden beam of light.

As experienced cultivators, they knew that such phenomena often signified some major change or opportunity. Therefore, they worked even harder to increase their speed, hoping to catch up with Lu Chen as soon as possible.

Moreover, the Dan Dao Sacred Sect in the distant Phantom Canyon, as well as the Yan Wu Sacred Sect in the surrounding area, also sensed an unusual aura.

Within Phantom Canyon, the disciples of the Dan Dao Holy Sect also sensed this extraordinary aura.

They all stopped their cultivation and looked up at the distant Azure Nether Mountains.

One of the elders frowned and said, "Such an unusual phenomenon must mean something big is about to happen. We must hurry over to investigate before we miss this opportunity."

Therefore, the disciples of the Dan Dao Holy Sect quickly assembled and headed towards the Qingming Mountain Range.

The same situation unfolded at the Yanwu Holy Sect. Upon sensing that powerful aura, the disciples immediately reported it to the sect leader.

The sect leader of the Yanwu Holy Sect was a dignified middle-aged man. He stood on a high platform, gazing solemnly into the distance. "This is a rare phenomenon in the world, and it must hold a great secret. Issue the order to summon all elite disciples and proceed to the Qingming Mountains immediately."

At a single command, the disciples of the Yanwu Holy Sect were fully equipped and set off for the Qingming Mountains immediately...

Lu Chen was naturally unaware of all this; all he knew was that his only way out was to escape.

At this moment, his divine sense detected three figures behind him, all seemingly heading towards him.

Before long, Lu Chen passed through a dense forest, and the view suddenly opened up before him.

A cold pool appeared ahead, its water clear yet giving a sense of weightlessness, its surface as still as a rock.

Looking up, a massive spatial rift floated above the icy pool. The space around the rift seemed distorted, fluctuating irregularly, and occasionally flashing with bolts of lightning.

The inside of the crack was pitch black, giving it an unfathomable depth. Nevertheless, a mysterious and powerful energy emanated from the crack, drawing Lu Chen's attention.

"This is it. Could this be the secret realm of Buzhou Mountain?" Lu Chen pondered to himself, his gaze fixed on the crack. "Never mind, let's go in first and see what happens."...
