underground.
Hongling curiously reached out and gently touched the crystal barrier, feeling the pure spiritual energy within.
“These crystals are so peculiar, I’ve never seen them before,” she said softly.
Old Demon Huang squinted and carefully examined the crystal barrier, but he still couldn't come to a precise conclusion.
A hint of greed appeared on his face: "These crystals might be a special product of this world. The spiritual energy they emit is so pure. If we can bring them back to our clan, they will definitely be of great use!"
Jin Lei suddenly frowned and warned, "Everyone be careful. This crystal barrier seems to weaken divine sense. My divine sense is greatly restricted here. I'm afraid there are some dangers here that we don't know about."
His words sent a chill down their spines, and they all composed themselves.
Only Kuangdao impatiently swung his broadsword, the blade slicing through the crystal barrier with a crisp sound.
"Whatever it is, let's break it open and see what's inside." His voice exuded an undeniable air of dominance.
Ji Ying nodded: "Kuang Dao is right. It's just a lower realm. There's no need to be timid."
The five of them worked together, each unleashing their own spells, and launched an attack on the crystal barrier.
The crystal barrier was already fragile, and under their combined attack, it shattered immediately, revealing a secret entrance that emitted a faint glow.
They immediately stopped and all looked at Ji Ying.
After a moment's thought, Ji Ying quickly made arrangements: "Hong Ling, Jin Lei, and Kuang Dao, the three of you will come in with me to investigate. Old Demon Huang will guard the retreat route here, just in case."
Hongling nodded in agreement.
Old Demon Huang chuckled and patted the storage bag at his waist: "Don't worry."
Relying on his powerful physique, Jin Lei flapped his wings and leaped into the secret realm first: "Let's go, let's see what secrets are hidden here."
Mad Blade followed closely behind, declaring, "No matter what's inside, I can cut it all down!"
The four figures gradually disappeared into the entrance of the secret realm.
Meanwhile, Old Demon Huang stood guard at the entrance, keeping watch on his surroundings while wondering what might be inside.
After the portal, Ji Ying, Kuang Dao, Hong Ling, and Jin Lei appeared in the secret realm one after another.
Their eyes were completely captivated by the spectacular sight before them.
This is a completely separate little world, distinct from the outside world, filled with rich spiritual energy that surrounds them, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, which is refreshing and invigorating.
Ji Ying surveyed this beautiful and spiritual land, a look of surprise and uncertainty on her face: "This... is actually an independent small world? A secret realm?!"
His loss of composure was clearly due to being deeply shocked by the scene before him.
Mad Blade glanced around, his tiger-like eyes gleaming with greed.
He laughed heartily and said in a rough manner, "Such a treasure land should rightfully belong to my clan!"
At the same time, a hint of jealousy arose in Kuangdao's heart.
Ji Chao was incredibly lucky; not only did he discover a completely new lower realm, but he also unexpectedly found such a secluded paradise.
If this person were still alive, he would surely be rewarded and given an important position by the clan.
Hong Ling walked up to a medicinal herb, her eyes showing surprise: "The medicinal herbs here are growing so lushly, and the fragrance is wonderful. It seems to be developing very well."
Jin Lei hovered in the air, his golden wings gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
He looked down at this mysterious land, his face full of excitement: "This place is indeed extraordinary. I wonder how many rare treasures it holds. I'll go down and find out!"
With that, he flashed and transformed into a golden lightning bolt, flying deep into the secret realm.
The remaining three people slowly made their way through the secret realm.
Their divine senses, like invisible tentacles, spread outwards, continuing their search.
Before long, their divine senses discovered some scattered settlements of mortals. These settlements were nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with an ancient style and a tranquil atmosphere.
Ordinary people live a simple life in this secluded place, yet they are content with their lot.
They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, farming, weaving, raising chickens and herding sheep, living a peaceful and idyllic rural life.
Looking at these mortals, Ji Ying sighed, "Although these mortals do not know the way of cultivation, they still enjoy the blessings of this secret realm."
Upon hearing this, Kuangdao's eyes flashed with disdain, and he sneered, "Mortals are nothing but ants, insignificant and lowly. How could they be worthy of living in such a celestial realm?"
His attitude was full of contempt and disdain for mortals, which was also the view of most demons towards mortals, and it was deeply ingrained in their bones.
Upon hearing this, Hong Ling gently shook her head and said, "It would be a good thing if mortals in this world could be used by my race."
Her words carried a hint of compassion and pity, as if she were fighting for a little space for mortals to survive.
However, in the "pasture" infested with the plague god, the fate of mortals was already sealed.
From birth to death, they must believe in the god of plague, and dedicate their entire being, flesh and soul.
In the eyes of the parasitic race, mortals are worthless except for this one point. After all, the parasitic race possesses powerful innate abilities that allow them to freely choose suitable bodies from the outside world, so there is no need for them to select so-called "immortal seedlings" from among mortals.
Jin Lei quickly replied telepathically: he had discovered signs of battle ahead.
A sense of foreboding welled up in Hongling and Jinlei's hearts.
A moment later, the four of them stopped in front of the ravaged battlefield.
The signs of battle are much clearer here.
The earth cracked, the soil churned, and in some places the soil was scorched and turned pitch black, clearly the remnants of some powerful attack.
The surrounding vegetation was destroyed by the shockwaves of the battle, with broken branches and leaves scattered all over the ground.
Moreover, a faint trace of demonic energy remained in the air. If they weren't all demons with a keen sense of demonic energy, they probably wouldn't have been able to detect this almost nonexistent aura.
Ji Ying looked at the charred crater in front of her, a look of solemnity flashing in her eyes, and continued to use her divine sense to search the surrounding area.
The battle here is exceptionally fierce. Ji Chao must have encountered a formidable enemy. Whether he lives or dies, there must be a result to settle the score.
Kuangdao gripped the hilt tightly, frowning as he analyzed his opponent's combat strength. He saw that the destructive power was only at the Golden Core level, which was in line with the spiritual energy level of this lower realm, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
I heard that Ji Chao fell into this world after encountering spatial turbulence and was seriously injured. No wonder he had such a hard time dealing with a Golden Core cultivator.
The other two fell silent, a dark cloud hanging over their hearts.
In their view, their friend was probably in grave danger.
Who killed Ji Chao?
Is this a native cultivator or a demon beast from the lower realm, or is it a member of the Jiu clan?
Suddenly, Ji Ying's eyes flickered, pointing to a spot on the ground, and a sword light swiftly descended.
A demonic energy bead fell into his hand.
Hongling and Jinlei exchanged a glance, a hint of emotion flashing in their eyes at the same time.
This is the demonic energy bead of the Jiu clan, but unfortunately Ji Chao lost his life because of it.
