Chapter 71 The Kirin Child, Cai Kun vs. Huangfu Qingtian!
Early the next morning.
Gu Jiancheng opened his eyes on the bed, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his beautiful starry eyes sparkled with a dazzling light.
Since leaving the Hundred Refinement Tower, Gu Jiancheng has been refining the five-colored spiritual mist within his body.
Perhaps because his talent was so extraordinary, after reaching the Dao Palace Realm, he was unable to advance rapidly in a short period of time, and the resources he needed also increased.
Therefore, even now, his cultivation level has not broken through to the peak of the late stage of the Dao Palace Realm.
It's even further from the half-step Four Symbols.
However, at that moment, a knock on the door suddenly rang out.
Gu Jiancheng got up, swallowed a disguise pill, and opened the door.
"Oh? Brother Gu is quite cautious!"
Cai Kun was taken aback when he saw Gu Jiancheng's unfamiliar face, and then he smiled.
"It's only natural to do this when you're new here."
Gu Jiancheng smiled. It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that he didn't want his rhythm to be disrupted.
“That’s right. Let’s go. The Kunwu Mountain Secret Realm is opening today, and cultivators from the Northern Region have already gathered.” Cai Kun smiled.
"it is good!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded and followed Cai Kun out of the inn.
Last night he had already asked the Rakshasa Sect to investigate Cai Kun's specific information, but he would only know when he came out of Kunwu Mountain.
At this moment, Kunwu City was almost deserted, with all the cultivators swarming towards Kunwu Mountain outside the arena like a swarm of bees.
Following the flow of people, Gu Jiancheng and his companion arrived at Kunwu Mountain shortly afterward.
This secret realm appeared deep in Kunwu Mountain. When Gu Jiancheng and his companion arrived at the entrance, thousands of human cultivators had already gathered there.
Moreover, almost all of them were experts at the Core Formation Realm or above, and their core areas were filled with overwhelming pressure.
Even more strikingly, Gu Jiancheng saw a sharp hammer-shaped magical artifact hovering in mid-air, its sharp force piercing through space, seemingly breaking the formation!
The methods used to break through the formations in the Northern Region are truly brutal.
"That's the Heaven-Rank Magic Artifact, the Boundary-Breaking Cone, from the Northern Wilderness Academy. The reason we're only entering the secret realm now is because we're waiting for this treasure to arrive."
Cai Kun explained to Gu Jiancheng.
"I see."
Gu Jiancheng nodded.
Heavenly-rank magical artifacts are indeed rare and extremely valuable. They are available in the system shop, but even the worst one requires 50,000 favor points, which Gu Jiancheng simply cannot afford right now, and he really doesn't need them.
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng's gaze also fell on the several young figures under the Boundary-Breaking Cone.
Two people stood out from the crowd, as they stood right behind the old man of the Four Symbols Realm, like cranes among chickens.
"That burly man in bronze armor is Shen Tu Lin from the Northern Wilderness Academy, known as the Kirin Child."
"He is now recognized by both universities as the strongest junior in this cohort."
"The purple-clad swordsman opposite us is Chu Yunfei, whose strength is second only to Shen Tu Lin."
As Cai Kun introduced them, Gu Jiancheng's gaze swept over the two men.
Their talents are indeed impressive; both are Heaven-rank Life Souls, but their cultivation is only slightly higher than Cai Kun's, and they are not worth Gu Jiancheng's attention.
What truly caught Gu Jiancheng's attention were the two people standing behind them, one of whom was Huangfu Qingtian.
Although he was currently shrouded in a bamboo hat and long robe, he still could not escape the notice of the Divine Insight. However, Gu Jiancheng did not expect that he seemed to have a good relationship with Shen Tu Lin at this time, otherwise he would not be standing together.
The person behind Chu Yunfei piqued his curiosity even more.
Although he did not conceal his figure, he was clearly disguised, and Gu Jiancheng sensed an extremely strong demonic aura emanating from him.
This person is definitely a demonic cultivator!
Furthermore, this person's cultivation level is almost the same as Cai Kun's, making him definitely not an ordinary person.
The demonic path is a taboo existence on this continent, and this is the first time Gu Jiancheng has ever seen it.
Gu Jiancheng was even more curious about the purpose of the demonic cultivators coming to the Kunwu Mountain secret realm.
As for the demonic aura that had been discovered earlier, it was now hidden among the crowd, just like him. The aura wasn't that strong, so Gu Jiancheng went to search for it as well.
Perhaps, it's just a more powerful demon pet.
Click!
Just then, the void in front of them suddenly shattered and exploded.
Gu Jiancheng looked up and was shocked to find that a crack had appeared in the space before the Boundary-Breaking Cone.
Moreover, the cracks did not intend to spread outwards, and a dense and terrifying aura of malevolence emanated from them.
The academy's celestial-grade magic artifacts are indeed useful; they broke through the secret realm so quickly!
"boom!"
Soon, with a loud bang, a hole was suddenly blasted open in the space in front of the Boundary-Breaking Bead.
A violent and ferocious aura burst forth from it.
The fierce aura alone caused the surrounding cultivators to retreat one after another.
But by the time they came to their senses, all the thousands of cultivators from the two universities had vanished.
The moment the secret realm was opened, they entered it first under the protection of the Four Symbols Realm experts.
"rush!"
"Secret treasures and opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis!"
Once the others had recovered their senses, they frantically rushed into the secret realm.
"Brother Gu, if you are randomly teleported apart, remember to wait for me, I will find you!"
Cai Kun laughed.
"Ah."
Gu Jiancheng responded, and then the two followed the crowd into the secret realm.
hum!
The next moment, Gu Jiancheng landed.
Sure enough, the surrounding area was a dense forest of green peaks, and there was not a single cultivator in sight.
This ancient secret realm has indeed separated everyone.
However, Gu Jiancheng remained calm. He leaped up and arrived at the nearest mountain peak, where he activated his Divine Eye of Insight and scanned the surrounding area.
After a moment, Gu Jiancheng withdrew his gaze. This secret realm was extremely vast, and it was indeed hiding many ferocious beasts.
Moreover, the peak combat power of the Four Symbols Realm that Li Biluo mentioned earlier is also among them.
However, deep within this secret realm, there seems to be a mysterious aura hidden, though it is very obscure and profound.
Therefore, even if the two universities in the Northern Region are very powerful, they will not be able to eliminate the ferocious beasts here in a short period of time.
Therefore, Gu Jiancheng was not in a hurry. He raised his hand and released the silver horned ants, which scattered in all directions.
The silver ant population has now grown to five thousand, and all of them have reached the Core Formation stage.
Like the Ancient Beast Abyss, this secret realm also contains primordial stone veins, and there are quite a few of them.
There's no reason for Gu Jiancheng not to eat the fatty meat that's been offered to him.
Then, Gu Jiancheng took out the Nine-Bend Demon Lotus.
After absorbing the blood of ferocious beasts in the Ancient Beast Abyss, this Nine-Bend Demon Lotus has become even more alluring, and its grade has reached the top level of the Earth Rank.
Apart from the ferocious beasts of the Four Symbols Realm, none could withstand it.
Gu Jiancheng placed the Nine-Bend Demon Lotus on the mountaintop, and its scarlet fragrance quickly spread in all directions with the airflow.
Immediately, dozens more discarded talismans fell around the mountain peak.
The last talisman burned, transforming into countless runes that enveloped Gu Jiancheng, and his aura and figure suddenly vanished into the void.
He didn't actually need talismans to conceal himself, but he had no choice but to do so in order to let Cai Kun find him.
The fragrance of the Nine-Bend Demon Lotus spread at an astonishing speed, filling an area of a hundred miles in just a short while.
The ferocious beasts within the area immediately went berserk, converging towards the Nine-Bend Demon Lotus. In just a moment, a beast tide was formed, causing the mountains to tremble and the earth to shake.
The monks from both universities also noticed this strange phenomenon.
"No, this beast tide doesn't seem to be coming for us."
Shen Tu Lin of the Northern Wilderness Academy sensed for a moment before his tense expression relaxed somewhat.
If we were to be besieged by a beast horde as soon as we entered the secret realm, that would be terrible.
But this beast tide seemed to be heading towards the outer edge of the secret realm, in the exact opposite direction from them.
"That's even better! Hurry up and get going. As long as you kill the Beast King in the core area, Lin'er, you can become the number one contributor. At that time, the Holy Land and the Academy will reward you handsomely!"
"As for the other ferocious beasts, they are not a concern!"
The Four Symbols Realm elder of the Northern Wilderness Academy had a cold expression. He then gathered everyone and sped towards the core of the secret realm.
Half an hour later.
On the mountain peak where Gu Jiancheng was, a black crow suddenly landed on the mountain peak, stared at the mountain peak below, cawed a few times, and then left.
A moment later, Cai Kun descended on the clouds.
However, when he saw that the foot of the mountain was surrounded by a dense swarm of ferocious beasts, he was dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, Brother Gu, are you crazy?"
If he hadn't been able to sense Gu Jiancheng, whose form was concealed by the talisman, he would have turned and run away immediately.
At this moment, there are at least tens of thousands of ferocious beasts here, including many beast kings who have reached the Dao Palace realm.
Even he couldn't do anything about it.
"Hehe, what's the panic?"
But the next moment, a talisman shot into the sky and enveloped Cai Kun as well.
"No, Brother Gu, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Cai Kun descended, but his face was still full of doubt.
"What are you doing? I came to the Northern Region to hunt ferocious beasts and compete for contribution points."
Gu Jiancheng shrugged and smiled.
"Are you sure this isn't just sending us to our deaths?"
Cai Kun glanced at Gu Jiancheng and muttered, "Your combat strength shouldn't be stronger than mine, right?"
"Haha, really? Then I'll put on a show for you."
Gu Jiancheng smiled faintly, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.
hum!
The next moment, a talisman surrounded by blazing flames shot into the sky and crashed to the ground.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, the talismans that Gu Jiancheng had placed around the area beforehand were activated and exploded.
Layer upon layer of top-tier Earth-rank runes unleashed terrifying pressure, instantly engulfing the entire mountain peak.
This is equivalent to dozens of peak-level Dao Palace warriors attacking at the same time.
However, after only a few breaths, the roar of the beast and the ferocity vanished without a trace.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Cai Kun stared in astonishment at the cleared-out herd of beasts.
Tens of thousands of ferocious beasts were wiped out in an instant?
He only came to his senses after Gu Jiancheng got up to collect the remnant soul of the ferocious beast.
"Brother Gu, no matter how wealthy you are, you can't be so wasteful!"
Consuming dozens of top-tier Earth-rank talismans in one go—even the Qilin Child wouldn't have such a feat.
"Hehe, I don't lack talismans."
Gu Jiancheng simply shrugged and then said, "Brother Cai, do you need these contribution points? I can give you half."
"No need, no need. I'm not a disciple of the academy, what use would I be to contribution points? Besides, I didn't do any work." Cai Kun waved his hands repeatedly.
"it is good."
Gu Jiancheng smiled and then absorbed all the beast souls.
The number on the nameplate also changed to 30,500.
It seems that hunting ferocious beasts at the half-step Four Symbols Realm or above yields more contribution points.
No wonder the top combatants from the two universities went straight to the core after entering.
"Brother Gu, you're making me look dull. Could you give me a chance to show off?"
Cai Kun was eager to get started.
"Okay, follow me."
Gu Jiancheng nodded, then put away the Nine-Bend Demon Lotus and led Cai Kun toward the inner part of the secret realm.
But he stopped a moment later.
"Ok?"
Cai Kun stood on the cloud and looked down, only to find a junior cultivator wearing a bamboo hat descending with a lewd grin.
Beneath him was a slender woman dressed in white. Although her face was covered by a light veil, her figure was alluring and delicate, and her temperament was extraordinary.
The woman lay limp on the ground, seemingly having lost all her strength. As the lewd-looking cultivator approached, her beautiful eyes were filled with shame and anger.
"Hehe, I never expected that I would encounter such a top-quality cauldron here."
"Don't panic, young lady. Once I've taken your virginity, you'll be very happy!"
As the cultivator in the bamboo hat spoke, he suddenly stretched out his large hand and enveloped the girl in white.
"Damn it, I've actually run into a womanizer?"
"I can't bear it anymore!"
Cai Kun, who was above the clouds, was immediately shocked and enraged, and then rushed down.
"You filthy bastard, get your dirty hands off!"
Gu Jiancheng, however, showed no intention of making a move.
The cultivator below is none other than Huangfu Qingtian, the strongest prodigy in the Eastern Region. His cultivation level is the same as Cai Kun's, so let's see how strong this guy is.
