Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 277 - 275: Primordial Glass Secret Realm

The instant the blood wall condensed, Helan Ying arrived.

Boom!

His face twisted with rage, completely disregarding the blood wall before him. He frantically drew upon his burning barbaric runes, unleashing the strongest punch he could muster!

Bang!

The blood wall shattered instantly like thunder striking, splintering apart in a trembling flash.

Huangfu Qing let out a muffled groan, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his figure swaying on the verge of collapse!

Xu Yang, using his cultivation technique in that same instant, dove to the side in utter disarray.

Ssshhh!

The force of that fist was mostly blocked by the blood wall, but the aftershocks tore through the debris, scattering across the ground.

"How is this possible?"

Helan Ying’s eyes were wide and round—just what was this blood wall?

He had misjudged the blood wall’s strength. He thought Huangfu Qing was only at the early stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm—what means could he possibly display?

Yet unexpectedly, this blood wall originated from a True Monarch’s Supreme Treasure!

Huangfu Shaoyao finally arrived, wielding the black umbrella, her gaze cold as she slashed it down.

Boom!

Helan Ying screamed miserably as he fell, his body pierced by the black umbrella. He collapsed onto the ground, struggling desperately, his gaze still locked fiercely onto Xu Yang.

Xu Yang slowly got up, and seeing this scene, inhaled with lingering fear.

That was far too close!

Life and death balanced on a knife’s edge within a split second!

But in the end, Helan Ying died in vain, perishing with unwillingness!

Xu Yang glanced at Huangfu Qing.

At this moment, the latter’s face was deathly pale, as though greatly exhausted, sitting cross-legged to regulate his breath.

Recalling that moment just now, Xu Yang shivered inwardly!

The Asura Blood Book had directly triggered the ’Suppress’ blood rune’s eruption—meaning Huangfu Qing’s threat was no exaggeration in the slightest!

The thing’s threat was truly immense.

Having one’s life held in another’s hands felt extremely unbearable.

Xu Yang grit his teeth, silently sensing the dimming ’Suppress’ blood rune. Compared to before, its internal energy had decreased by almost twenty percent!

The consumption was immense, equivalent to more than ten provocations!

Yet, no joy appeared on Xu Yang’s face—his heart only filled with vigilance.

If Huangfu Qing recovered and replenished the blood rune’s energy, that would be disastrous!

For now, it was a matter of taking one step at a time.

If he didn’t replenish it, that would be the best outcome, as Xu Yang hoped.

But if he forced a replenishment, Xu Yang had no other way!

"You really do have quite a few enemies among the Barbarian Race." Huangfu Shaoyao glanced over at Xu Yang, her expression amused.

"Those not of my clan must have different hearts!" Xu Yang replied, expressionless.

Huangfu Shaoyao nodded in approval.

"If there’s a chance, remember to capture more barbarians for me—the special bloodline power of these big fellows is quite the treasure," she said, greedily licking her lips.

Xu Yang acted as if he hadn’t heard, sitting down cross-legged to adjust his state.

The entire Yuanli Sect had become an empty shell.

The remaining people were naturally unable to escape Huangfu Shaoyao’s grasp.

Once Xu Yang and Huangfu Qing completely recovered, both Huangfu Qing and Huangfu Shaoyao fixed their stares on Xu Yang.

Their intentions couldn’t be clearer!

Xu Yang was secretly elated—Huangfu Qing hadn’t brought up replenishing the blood rune at all. Who knew whether he hadn’t thought of it, or believed that even with some energy lost, there was nothing Xu Yang could do!

In any case, this was the best outcome. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Come with me."

Following the route Gu Jun had given, Xu Yang headed toward the depths of Yuanli Sect.

Huangfu Qing’s spirits soared, even his blood seemed to be boiling.

The ancient arts were right ahead!

"Aunt, once inside, I’ll have to trouble you to keep Xu Yang under tight watch!" Huangfu Qing quietly transmitted his voice.

Though Xu Yang was under control, with Gu Jun’s presence, they couldn’t be too careful—in case of emergency, every precaution had to be taken!

Huangfu Shaoyao nodded imperceptibly, her eyes glittering as she gazed at Xu Yang, mocking and playful!

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Deep within Yuanli Sect, outside the Primordial Glass Secret Realm.

This was Yuanli Sect’s most precious secret realm—for this realm alone, the sect’s headquarters had been established here!

The surroundings were all mountains and forests, shielded by arrays.

The secret realm’s entrance was a massive, lustrous millstone, entirely glassy, like a Spirit Jade!

Dense spiritual runes coiled across the millstone’s surface, with a palm-shaped depression at its center!

Clearly, a special seal skill was needed to open it!

Xu Yang looked at Huangfu Shaoyao.

Huangfu Shaoyao strode forward, gave it a quick glance, then formed a seal with her fingers and slapped a palm down!

With her strength, even without knowing the exact seal skill, opening this secret realm was no great difficulty!

This kind of defense was basically a mere formality!

Sect disciples would never harbor any treacherous thoughts; as for outsiders, if they’d made it this far, it meant the sect’s defenses had already collapsed, no one left to stop them.

If things had reached this stage, no amount of defenses would matter!

Rumble!

The millstone rumbled and shook, bursting forth with dazzling glassy divine light, surging into the heavens.

Illusory spiritual light intertwined, gradually forming a portal.

Huangfu Shaoyao took a step back and said coolly, "Mr. Xu, please."

Xu Yang’s expression grew solemn as he strode straight in.

Whoosh!

His figure vanished into the gateway.

The other two followed right behind.

Inside the secret realm, heaven and earth were small—one glance was enough to see the limits.

A towering giant peak stood there, atop which surged a brilliant, crystalline sea of spiritual energy, filled with vast, special spiritual liquid.

The trial here was a simple one.

Climb the spirit mountain and endure the baptism of the spirit sea!

For martial artists below the Myriad Phenomena Realm, this offered considerable benefits!

The three merely glanced over it casually and lost interest!

"This secret realm was born from the merging of several spirit veins—the master has set up a grotto heaven below the veins, where the ancient arts are," Xu Yang said, walking to an open area and forming seals!

This seal skill was the dharma seal to open the grotto heaven!

Both Huangfu Qing and Huangfu Shaoyao watched Xu Yang, deep wariness in their eyes!

If Xu Yang made even the slightest move, Huangfu Shaoyao would strike without hesitation!

Dozens of breaths later, tens of thousands of seals condensed. Xu Yang pressed his curved palm downward.

Ssshhh!

The ground trembled slightly, and, as if it were an illusion, multiple layers of cosmic phantoms appeared, rising upwards.

"Hiss, it’s hidden a thousandfold cosmos!"

Huangfu Shaoyao drew a sharp breath, her face shocked.

With her cultivation, she hadn’t sensed a thing before this!

"No wonder he’s the Pill Emperor!"

Soon after, the thousandfold cosmos overlaid itself, forming an illusory space like a miniature secret realm before the three.

Xu Yang turned and said, "From here, we can directly enter the grotto heaven beneath the spirit veins. Am I going first?"

Huangfu Qing said coldly, "Xu Yang, I’m warning you, you’d better not try anything!"

Xu Yang shrugged. "What tricks do you think I could still pull?"

"If the master had any means, even mutual destruction would be better than bringing you all here, don’t you think?"

Those words left Huangfu Qing with no grounds to argue!

Even mutual destruction could be recovered from—at worst, it would cost time!

Compared to bringing them here, it was clearly a better choice!

Huangfu Qing’s gaze shifted, his mind settling slightly.

"I’ll go first!"

Huangfu Shaoyao declared, her form already slipping into the illusory cosmos!

Once inside, her figure grew indistinct as she sank rapidly downward, vanishing without a trace!

Huangfu Qing stepped up, gave Xu Yang a long look, and said, "Let’s go!"

Xu Yang waited until after Huangfu Qing entered, then followed.

Whoosh!

This secret realm was instantly empty again, deathly silent without a ripple!
