Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 279 - 280: Tree-Hugging Madman Dongfeng Shuo

Although they had undergone the trial of the Ancient and Modern Mirror, it is not a perfect Spiritual Treasure; among these thousands of people, there were still those who slipped through, and they stealthily entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm as if nothing had happened.

"Hehe, you old man, that’s not very honest of you. Just now, I felt several beings not from the Mortal World, and you let them in," Ge Lao had always been by Xuanyuan Mingkong’s side, watching every Cultivator entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. These people managed to escape the scrutiny of the Ancient and Modern Mirror but could not evade the fiery gaze of these two Martial Saints, especially under the enhancement of the Array, these few were almost reaching the Void Level.

"Hehe, even if they managed to get in, so what? Don’t forget, the opening of the core area requires the blood of both Immortal and Demon clans. However, these people have underestimated our Mortal World too much, daring to come here so openly to probe."

In Xuanyuan Mingkong’s eyes, neither Demon Lord nor Immortal Venerable could escape the fate of being seen through, and those fortunate Demon Lords and Immortal Venerables, in their complacency, had not realized that they had been seen through long ago.

"Big brother, this Cultivation Technique is really good, even that mirror was deceived by us," the four Demon Lords rendezvoused as soon as they entered the Secret Realm.

"Don’t waste words, quickly look for opportunities," the eldest harshly rebuked.

"Is this the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm?" Mu Can entered along with Dongfeng Shuo and chose not to follow old Hu to hide his identity.

The entrance to the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was a single gate, but this portal connected to countless coordinates within the Heavenly Ancient Secret Realm.

Depending on the time of entry, the landing spots of the people varied, scattering thousands across every corner of the Secret Realm.

"Indeed, the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is just like a complete world," Dongfeng Shuo soared into the sky as soon as he entered the Secret Realm, looking afar, but the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm seemed endless, with no visible end.

"Immortal Ancient Secret Realm," Mu Can surveyed the surroundings, sensing the flow of Spiritual Energy in the air.

"No wonder this place can facilitate breakthroughs; the quality of the Spiritual Energy here is much higher than outside," the influx of Spiritual Energy gave Mu Can an instant refreshing sensation.

"Let’s go, this old man will take you to find opportunities," Dongfeng Shuo appeared very excited, his old face filled with exhilaration.

It seems that being able to enter here made him quite happy.

Mu Can had learned the rules of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm from Xuanyuan Mingkong long ago. The space in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was boundless, with mountains, rivers, and even starry lakes that were no different from the outside world. The only distinction is at the most central part of the realm, where a towering high tower stood, seemingly connecting to the sky, and it was at this tower that the core area would be crucially opened.

The opportunities in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm were not as rumored outside; not every treasure was guarded by Blood Beasts. Here, everyone was equal, not only the Cultivators seeking opportunities, but opportunities also sought out Cultivators.

There once was someone on the periphery of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm who lightly kicked a stone and found a king-class Blood Pill inside, which upon consumption, led to a breakthrough.

Another person rested under a large tree and entered a state of enlightenment, successfully comprehending the Cultivation Technique contained within the tree.

Everywhere in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm are treasures, it just requires the right opportunity, which some may never encounter in their lifetimes.

"Wait a moment," Dongfeng Shuo abruptly stopped.

Mu Can also stopped, puzzled about what this old man was up to.

Dongfeng Shuo stood before a large tree and suddenly embraced it, shaking it frantically.

"What are you doing?"

Could it be that this old man is a lunatic to undertake such a shocking action?

Hearing Mu Can’s question, Dongfeng Shuo had no desire to reply, but shook the tree even more vigorously.

"Hey, look, what is that old man doing?"

"Hahaha, am I seeing things? At his age, embracing a big tree like that."

The space in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was vast, but the number of people who entered this time was many times more than when it was previously opened, so it was no wonder to encounter people here.

"Old man, what on earth are you doing?" Mu Can was equally puzzled as the old man suddenly began to shake the tree frantically.

"Ha ha ha, it kills me, look how hard he’s shaking it."

"Old man, do you need help?"

The two passersby, judging by their clothes, were cultivators from outside rather than students from the Immortal Ancient Academy.

"Shut up." Mu Can reprimanded, although he didn’t know what Dongfeng Shuo really intended to do, but being Mu Can’s companion, he had to stand up for his companion when he was being mocked.

"Ey yo yo, this youngster is rather spirited," a cultivator in a blue robe said to Mu Can with a tone of sarcasm.

His companion glanced at Mu Can and gently tugged at his robe, signaling him to stop talking.

The demeanor of Mu Can made him look anything but ordinary.

"Come out." Dongfeng Shuo shouted furiously as he shook the tree.

Both Mu Can and the two onlookers stopped talking and silently observed Xuanyuan Mingkong.

The atmosphere suddenly took on a bizarre turn, as the three watched an old man vigorously shaking a tree.

As Dongfeng Shuo shook the tree, he murmured under his breath.

The three pricked up their ears to listen, only to hear that what Dongfeng Shuo was muttering was not some chant, but a nursery rhyme.

"Shake it, shake it, keep on shaking."

"I shake it hard, I shake it proudly, I shake it here and there and everywhere."

At this point, Mu Can, who had been somewhat trusting Dongfeng Shuo, began to waver.

This old man was not just ordinarily unreliable, he was truly very unreliable.

The two onlooking passersby desperately covered their mouths, fearing they might burst out laughing.

"Let’s go, this old man must be a madman, we shouldn’t waste our time here anymore."

Just as the two onlookers were about to leave, they noticed that the tree under Dingfeng Shuo’s shaking suddenly changed.

A huge fruit fell from the sky and landed right in front of Dongfeng Shuo.

It hit the ground with a thud.

"Heh heh, just what I’ve been waiting for."

Dongfeng Shuo stopped shaking the tree and walked towards the fruit on the ground.

The fruit was as big as one person could embrace, smashing into the ground creating a divine pit.

"There really was something." Mu Can’s interest was piqued.
