I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 314 Deep in the Secret Realm

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed in the ancient secret realm. After hearing more or less news about the divine artifact, the cultivators and disciples all set off for the depths of the secret realm.

Yun Qingrou changed her clothes and blended into the crowd, listening to the disciples of various sects chatting on the way.

"Do you think there really are divine artifacts deep within this secret realm?"

"Well, who knows? Whether it's a divine artifact or not, I'd be happy to get a share."

“That’s true,” another chimed in. “But where did you all hear this from? It’s amazing how many people know this.”

The person next to him also looked puzzled: "What you're saying does sound a bit strange. If the first person to detect the spiritual energy fluctuations really is a divine artifact, shouldn't they have kept it hidden?"

The others also fell into thought, but soon someone said, "Hey! Who cares! With so many people here, what danger could possibly occur?"

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at the person speaking, who was dressed in the robes of a Zixiao Sect disciple, and nodded in agreement, but all of them tacitly became more vigilant.

Although they are not as strong as those true prodigies, it doesn't mean they are mentally deficient. Even though there's nothing wrong with what this person says, something just feels off. In this situation, it's always good to be vigilant.

……

"Purple Cloud Sect...?" Not far away, Yun Qingrou murmured softly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and continued to move forward with the disciples of these sects. However, when passing by the Blazing Fire Land, she inexplicably glanced at it a few more times.

Several days later, most of them arrived at the depths of the ancient secret realm.

Along the way, they encountered countless ferocious beasts, and the venomous plants that had become sentient were even more difficult to guard against. Although everyone tacitly cooperated, quite a few people still got injured.

Disciple A: "Tsk...this secret realm is really dangerous."

Disciple B: "That's right. I was being extremely careful the whole way, but I was still injured by a monster that suddenly appeared."

Disciple C: "I was also injured. I didn't expect that even with so many of us, we still couldn't defend against these things."

Disciple Ding: "After all, it is an ancient secret realm, so we always have to be more careful. However, we are lucky. Didn't you see those from the Hundred Flowers Sect? They were seriously injured. It's only been a few months, and there's still more than a year left. Their pills have already been almost used up."

Disciple A: "That's right. We should also be careful. Although we are disciples of various sects, the cultivation world has always believed in the law of the jungle. I just saw that the people from the Tiger Hunting Sect were staring intently at the people from the Hundred Flowers Sect. It's obvious that they have other ideas."

Disciple C: "Let's use some pills too. Although our injuries aren't serious, we might be at a disadvantage if we were to fight someone."

Disciple B: "Moreover, with the appearance of this divine artifact, everyone wants a piece of the pie, which might cause some trouble. We should all be careful."

……

Yun Qingrou leaned against a tree, listening to the conversation of the sect disciples while looking around, trying to find a certain figure.

Along the way, the places they passed through were extremely dangerous, overgrown with weeds and teeming with other monsters. But deep within this secret realm, it was a completely different world. There was a natural clearing with much more normal vegetation, unlike the poisonous plants along the way. Monsters were almost nowhere to be seen, with only a few low-level demon foxes occasionally passing by.

As they ventured deeper into the area, all the cultivators sensed the intense spiritual energy fluctuations that had been rumored along the way. Yun Qingrou wandered around and, upon seeing the few demonic foxes, her gaze darkened slightly.

"There's even a demon fox."

Logically speaking, the more unusual a place is, the more monsters will gather and leave the unusual area.
