Chapter 171 Opening the Secret Realm
"What...what exactly do you want to do here?" Niu Er asked stutteringly.
At this moment, Niu Da's face was filled with rage. He stared fiercely at Lin Xian'er and the group behind her, and shouted, "How dare you guys rush over so arrogantly to snatch our key? Humph, you are simply daydreaming. Don't think I am afraid of you. Even if I have to destroy this key, I will never let it fall into your hands."
Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Lin Xian'er felt overwhelmed.
She knew that if she didn't take steps to ease the situation, a violent conflict would be inevitable. So, she took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and then said, "To successfully unlock this key, we must gather the combined strength of hundreds of immortal cultivators. You alone can't open this mysterious realm."
Hearing this, Niu Da frowned and asked suspiciously, "How did you know this?"
Lin Xian'er smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Of course I have unique channels for obtaining information. To be honest, as far as I know, this secret realm contains countless precious natural treasures. How about this? You provide the key, and we will provide a sufficient number of cultivators. Once we enter the secret realm, we will each use our true abilities to compete for the treasures. What do you think?"
I have spent so much time here, but the entrance to the mysterious secret realm is still hard to find, as if it were hidden in the clouds.
Niu Da pondered inwardly that although he had some doubts about what Lin Xian'er said, seeing that he hadn't gotten anything out of it, perhaps she was telling the truth. However, the thought of being taken advantage of for no reason at all made Niu Da feel like a knot in his chest that wouldn't dissipate.
He said with a gloomy face, "Let's discuss this first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Dabian led Niu Er and his group to the side and began to discuss in a low voice.
At this time, Old Man Shen, who was standing aside, originally wanted to use his own strength to directly snatch the key to the secret realm. Why bother to waste time arguing with the other party? However, just as this thought arose, he was met with Lin Yu's sharp gaze full of warning.
At the same time, the others around him also cast disapproving glances at Old Man Shen. After all, they were not the disciples of the evil sect who acted without any bottom line and with sinister and ruthless means. They looked down on such despicable and immoral behavior from the bottom of their hearts and simply disdained to do it.
Tch, Old Man Shen turned around unhappily and walked to the side. When they enter the secret realm, we will see who has more sophisticated means.
Not long after, Niu Da and others ended their brief discussion and returned to the crowd.
Niu Da said in a firm tone, "Okay, we agree to cooperate, but there is a condition. We must be the first group to enter the secret realm."
Faced with Niu Da's request, Lin Xian'er didn't hesitate at all and immediately responded, "No problem."
She thought that the key originally belonged to Niu Da and the others, so it didn't make much difference who entered the secret realm first or later. Real treasures would often choose their own owners.
Regardless of what others are thinking at this moment, at least on the surface, both parties have reached a consensus on this.
In the following time, everyone waited quietly in their place with anticipation and anxiety, their eyes fixed on the front, hoping that the mysterious key could be opened as soon as possible.
Not long after, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from Niu Da's arms. Like lightning, it shot straight up from his embrace, pausing briefly in midair. The flickering light, like a brilliant star in the night sky, captured everyone's attention.
At this moment, Lin Xian'er, who had been closely monitoring the situation, followed the system's instructions and shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and attack the key with all your might."
Her voice was clear and loud, full of urgency.
Hearing this, everyone present did not dare to delay in the slightest. They all exerted the powerful spiritual power in their bodies, gathering it into a surging torrent of power, and pounced towards the key floating in the air with the greatest force.
For a moment, various colors of spiritual light intertwined together to form a gorgeous and colorful light curtain, illuminating the entire space with brilliant light.
However, something unexpected happened. When everyone's attacks surged towards the key like a tide, the seemingly fragile key did not shatter as expected. Instead, it became like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing energy from all directions.
As more and more power was consumed by it, the light emanating from the key became increasingly intense.
Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded before everyone's eyes. Behind the key, an immense vortex slowly emerged. This vortex seemed to connect to another world, within which one could vaguely see the beauty of verdant mountains, clear waters, birdsong, and fragrant flowers.
Everyone stared at the scene inside the vortex with wide eyes, disbelief on their faces. They found that on that piece of land, there was a dense growth of spiritual herbs.
These magical herbs are lush and green, emitting waves of alluring fragrance. Some have crystal clear leaves, like jade carvings; others have delicate and luscious flowers, beautiful beyond words.
"Oh my God! There are spiritual herbs everywhere here," someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Ahhhhhh, there are so many spiritual herbs, how many precious treasures are hidden in them?"
Some people were so excited that they were incoherent.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their mind - to rush into the vortex and explore the endless treasures hidden in it.
Everyone's eyes revealed an irrepressible desire and impulse, and their bodies moved forward involuntarily, as if they were ready to rush to that mysterious place at any time regardless of everything.
However, the huge vortex is still in an unstable state at this moment, as if it may collapse and dissipate at any time.
Faced with such a situation, although everyone present was already filled with irrepressible excitement, they still had to desperately suppress their inner impulses, grit their teeth and endure, trying their best not to rush forward rashly.
As time passed, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit. The torment of waiting was almost driving people crazy.
Just when everyone felt they could no longer endure it, the silent Lin Xian'er finally spoke, "Niu Da, you guys go in first, and the others will follow."
