A glint flashed in Li Yunjingâs eyes. After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke in a deep voice.
Once we get over there, weâll be completely far from the Shenxiao Dao Sect, with no Sect backing us anymore.
The few of us will be no different from Loose Cultivators.
How to blend in without arousing hostility from other forces will become the most crucial matter.
"Old Li, youâre right! Iâve been thinking whether we should go in as a caravan to enter the Endless Mountain Range?"
Fu Chao nodded in agreement and then proposed another method.
"Mm! As for methods, we can keep studying them. But our most important task right now is to hide the Thunder Skill aura on our bodies. We absolutely cannot enter there under the name of Shenxiao Dao Sect Disciples!"
Li Yunjing swept his gaze around and looked at the three of them, speaking solemnly.
In recent years, Shenxiao Dao Sect had been in the limelight and had offended far too many forces.
You could say, aside from Primordial Yang Dao Sect still giving them a bit of face, all other forces would secretly make a move to kill any Shenxiao Dao Sect Disciple they saw, in order to weaken Shenxiao Dao Sectâs strength.
Li Yunjing had a clear understanding of this, which was why he reminded them.
He wasnât afraid of opponents at the same level, and he didnât particularly care even about peak Golden Core Realm enemiesâif he couldnât beat them, heâd just run.
A Golden Core Realm Cultivator was almost impossible to pose a fatal threat to him.
What Li Yunjing truly feared were Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators!
With the Celestial Ruins Secret Realm opening, quite a few Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators would be coming as well!
By then, including Shenxiao Dao Sect, many big shots would enter for a bloody battle, and quite a few Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators would die inside.
Men die for wealth, birds die for food!
Normally, Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators look down on most things, but if they run into something they urgently need, theyâll go all out inside, and dying in the Secret Realmâsuch things happen almost every cycle.
"Mm, I understand. Iâve already started preparing over this period."
Fu Chao nodded. This past month he had barely left the post station, spending his time in bitter Cultivation, switching his Cultivation Technique and concealing his true aura.
"The Celestial Ruins Secret Realm opening is a rare opportunity. We must seize it. We might just find the key to improving our strength in there."
Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi voiced their agreement as well.
The two women were also preparing to take part in this operation.
Li Yunjing had no intention of refusing. Heâd gone to the Burial Immortal Ancient Realm and even protected Fu Chao there. Though the Celestial Ruins Secret Realm was dangerous, he figured he could protect his women.
"Old Fu, you keep an eye on news about the Celestial Ruins Secret Realm, especially the time and place of its opening."
Li Yunjing thought for a moment, then added, "Also, we need to prepare as soon as possible, improve our own strength, and face any challenges that might appear."
"Donât worry, Iâll handle it."
Fu Chao nodded in agreement, not looking nervous at all.
This time, Fu Chao had acquired quite a few oneâtime Big Killer Artifacts!
When the time came, it wouldnât be like the Burial Immortal Ancient Realm trip, where heâd been a burden to Li Yunjing the whole way.
Fu Chao was even itching to try, eager to display his might, use those Forbidden Artifacts to carve out a bloody path, and let his friends seeâsee the "breeze" of Fu Chao!
After Li Yunjing and the other two finished discussing the followâup plans with Fu Chao, Fu Chao took his leave.
Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi returned to their room and began preparing for the upcoming trip to the Celestial Ruins Secret Realm.
Whenever they had free time, the two women would Dual Cultivate with Li Yunjing; when they had matters to attend to, they went to work at the Profound Secret Pavilion.
Moreover, this time Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi had already informed the higherâups of the Profound Secret Pavilion that they intended to resign from tasks and go explore the Outer Realm.
Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi had originally taken part in the tasks voluntarily. Now that they chose to leave, the Profound Secret Pavilion naturally wouldnât stop themâafter giving a few words of advice, they simply settled the two womenâs Contribution Points.
Over the course of a month, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi cultivated Divine Techniques and Magic, overhauled Weapons and Magical Treasures, prepared Talismans, Arrays, and Puppets, and stockpiled Elixirs...
Their schedule was packed to the brim, with almost no spare time, and only then were they fully prepared to set out.
In the second month, Li Yunjing, Fu Chao, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi gathered once more.
"According to the plan, weâll disguise ourselves as a caravan and pass through Youyue Country, doing our best to avoid those dangerous areas."
Li Yunjing stood among them, expression grave as he spoke.
"Old Li, Iâve already contacted a few reliable merchants. Theyâre willing to form a group with us, so weâll look more like a proper caravan."
Fu Chao nodded and continued, "They donât know who we really are; they only know that weâre Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators!"
"This time, our identities will be Cultivators of the Myriad Poison Sect!"
Li Yunjing took out his Myriad Poison Banner and sneered. "Youyue Country is the turf of the Netherworld Ghost Sect. Using a Demon Cultivator identity should make things safer for us!"
"Hm?"
Seeing the poisonous miasma all over Li Yunjingâs body, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao could hardly believe their eyes.
Looking at him now, if Li Yunjing claimed he wasnât from the Myriad Poison Sect, even Fu Chao wouldnât believe it!
"Yunjing, youâve also cultivated the Myriad Poison Sectâs Cultivation Technique?"
Yu Yunyi asked curiously.
"Yes. In a bit, Iâll prepare some Myriad Poison Sect Magical Treasures for you, plus some poisons, and of course a few simple Minor Magic spellsâsmall poison arts. Theyâll be enough for you to hide your identities."
Li Yunjing said with a smile.
"Good! Old Li, you really are full of tricks!"
Fu Chao gave Li Yunjing a big thumbsâup.
At this point he truly accepted Li Yunjing from the bottom of his heart and didnât even know what to say!
To think that Li Yunjing had even prepared in advance a way to disguise themselves as Myriad Poison Sectâwhat problem could they possibly still have?
This trip to the Celestial Ruins Secret Realm was bound to be a resounding success!
"We set out in seven days!"
In the end, Fu Chao said loudly.
"Alright."
Li Yunjing nodded, agreeing.
