Chapter 327: Huh? Is Someone There?

Hearing Liu Hongxia’s question, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and said, “The situation here is a bit complicated. The gravity is very strong, and anyone with a cultivation level below the Golden Immortal Realm should be unable to fly.

With your cultivation level at the Earth Immortal Realm, you will have to walk once you arrive here.

You can come over, but you must change into the immortal body state. However, maintaining this state consumes a lot of immortal essence, and it seems there isn’t a way to replenish your immortal essence here.”

Li Xiaojun attempted to absorb the spiritual energy in the secret realm, but he found that the energy was very “heavy,” and he couldn’t absorb it at all.

As he tried, Li Xiaojun told Liu Hongxia, “The spiritual energy here is very rich—at least a hundred times denser than that in the Immortal Realm—but it cannot be absorbed. If you come over, you might completely deplete your immortal essence and perish.”

“I’ve also discovered another issue; the secret realm passage seems to be a one-way teleportation route. Once you arrive in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, it seems there is no way to return… So I suggest you not come over for now.”

After hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Liu Hongxia nodded, “Then I won’t come over for the time being.”

The thought of only being able to walk in the secret realm made Liu Hongxia lose any interest in the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

Moreover, with her biological father there, she knew he wouldn’t forget to gather any treasures.

Li Xiaojun was not lying to Liu Hongxia; if she truly came here, she could get trapped.

However, for Li Xiaojun, there was no danger because he could replenish his immortal essence using his cultivation points.

The system continually generated a large amount of cultivation points. Whenever he ran low on immortal essence, Li Xiaojun could use his cultivation points to make up for it.

So this secret realm was manageable for Li Xiaojun.

After hanging up on Liu Hongxia, Li Xiaojun began to descend and quickly landed in a jungle.

The reason for landing was that Li Xiaojun discovered a rare treasure nearby.

Soon, he reached the rare treasure, which was an unknown plant over a meter tall, bearing three red fruits.

The spiritual aura contained in these fruits indicated that they were sixth tier spiritual fruits.

Sixth tier spiritual items corresponded perfectly to the Golden Immortal Realm.

Li Xiaojun expanded his divine sense perception and found that all the plants here were at least first-tier spiritual items.

This meant he could easily harvest some grass to refine a grade one immortal pill.

Of course, Li Xiaojun looked down on first-tier spiritual herbs.

He wanted at least fourth-tier items because he could use those for his daughters.

However, although there were many spiritual items, the number reaching the fourth tier was very few. Li Xiaojun’s perception range revealed only less than a thousand such plants, let alone sixth-tier ones.

Within Li Xiaojun’s one-thousand-mile range, he discovered only three sixth-tier spiritual items.

Fortunately, the space in the Kunlun Immortal Realm was very vast. If he could harvest all the spiritual herbs in the entire secret realm, he should obtain a large number of higher-tier spiritual items.

Unfortunately, the gravity in this secret realm prevented him from using his divine sense to pick spiritual items; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to fly over and pick them personally each time.

If he were in the Immortal Realm, he could use his divine sense to manipulate anything he scanned.

The Kunlun Secret Realm opened only a few hundred years after the revival of spiritual energy on Earth, which shows its rarity.

Time flew by, and decades passed. Li Xiaojun had lost track of how many spiritual items he had harvested.

During these decades, besides the sixth-tier spiritual items, he also gathered some seventh and even eighth-tier spiritual items.

These seventh and eighth-tier spiritual items, if taken to the Immortal Realm, could very likely allow beings at the late Golden Immortal stage to breakthrough into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Li Xiaojun could say that his gains from entering the secret realm were immense.

However, after decades of continuously harvesting spiritual items, he felt a bit overwhelmed by the process.

“Well, I’m not here to work; I have more than enough spiritual items already.”

In the end, Li Xiaojun decided to stop collecting the spiritual items.

He planned to wait until his daughters could break through the Golden Immortal level and let them collect the items themselves.

…

Li Xiaojun had spent several years in the secret realm, but he hadn’t seen a single lively creature.

So, he thought that perhaps there were no living beings in the Kunlun Immortal Realm besides plants.

However, just as Li Xiaojun was thinking this, one day, a figure of a Tribulation Stage monster suddenly appeared in his divine sense perception.

The Tribulation Stage monster appeared in the air and, in the next moment, quickly fell to the ground.

Bang!

A massive shockwave erupted as the Tribulation Stage monster smashed into the ground.

Immediately, its body became a muddy mess, with blood splattered everywhere; it was utterly dead.

“Oh no…”

Li Xiaojun didn’t expect such an ending.

After years of not seeing any creatures, he finally encountered one, only for it to die in the next moment.

At this point, Li Xiaojun finally understood why there were no living beings besides plants in the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

Because every creature that entered this Kunlun Secret Realm had fallen to their deaths.

Wait, if an Immortal enters this secret realm, they might still survive.

Immortals are different from Tribulation Stage cultivators; they can instantly switch to the immortal body state, so they wouldn’t die from falling.

However, Immortals would quickly consume their immortal essence, and without a way to replenish it, they wouldn’t be able to survive long here either.

So, logically, even if an Immortal were to enter this Kunlun Immortal Realm, they would just be waiting to die.

If Li Xiaojun happened to meet an Immortal who had just entered the secret realm, perhaps he could communicate with them for a time.

But the Kunlun Immortal Realm was too vast, and the chances of encountering an Immortal right as they entered were slim.

In this large secret realm, Li Xiaojun didn’t even know where the boundaries were.

Furthermore, he believed that there might still be superior-grade immortal essence stone veins hidden within the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

However, his divine sense could not penetrate below the ground of this secret realm, so finding a superior-grade immortal essence stone vein in a short time would be very difficult.

This Kunlun Immortal Realm was truly a secret realm that opened only after hundreds of years, but being the only person in this world made Li Xiaojun feel incredibly lonely and bored.

Ultimately, Li Xiaojun decided to fly in a straight line to see if he could encounter members of Other Races or how long it would take to reach the end of the secret realm.

Indeed, this secret realm should have an end, as it was a parallel continent, unlike planets like Earth.

Li Xiaojun decided that once he saw the boundary of the secret realm, he would return.

Since he chose to fly in one direction, he didn’t deliberately gather spiritual items along the way.

He only harvested when he encountered seventh or eighth-tier spiritual items.

Time flew by, and over fifty years passed.

One day, as Li Xiaojun was flying, he suddenly felt the gravity of the secret realm decrease significantly.

“Huh?”

Li Xiaojun was very surprised.

After thinking for a moment, he tried to fly backward a distance.

“It got stronger again…”

Li Xiaojun frowned.

After pondering, Li Xiaojun once again flew in a straight line toward the outside.

Soon, he felt that as he continued to fly, the pressure from the secret realm was rapidly decreasing.

A decade later.

“Huh? Is someone there!”

Suddenly, Li Xiaojun’s divine sense detected a living creature, and this creature appeared to be human.

Li Xiaojun’s divine sense carefully sensed, and he discovered that this human was actually a powerhouse of the Profound Immortal realm.
