Chapter 242: Chapter 177: The Secret Realm Appears_2

Qianchuan Market…

In the Lin Family Cave Mansion Courtyard’s training room, there was some strange movement coming from the Mysterious Moon Order inside the storage bag.

Lin Tianming’s expression changed, and he quickly took out the Mysterious Moon Order, then held it in his hand to inspect it.

At that moment, the patterns on the Mysterious Moon Order became clear. Not only that, as he infused Spiritual Energy, he distinctly felt waves of fluctuation emanating from the token.

The Mysterious Moon Order, silent for several years, reacted for the first time.

A few breaths’ time passed, and Lin Tianming’s face showed ecstatic joy. He immediately sent out a message and then hurriedly rushed out of the training room.

In no time, in the courtyard of the Cave Mansion, Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu were sitting opposite each other.

Seeing the expression on Lin Tianming’s face, Lin Shilu was instantly alarmed and quickly thought of the reason.

“Tianming, has the Mysterious Moon Order responded?” he probed.

After nodding, Lin Tianming replied, “Fifteenth Grandfather, the Mysterious Moon Order just stirred. When I infused it with Spiritual Energy, the patterns on it became clear. From the aura emitting from the token, it is clear that the Secret Realm has materialized!”

After speaking, Lin Tianming took out a Mysterious Moon Order and passed it to Lin Shilu.

Lin Shilu’s face lit up with joy as he took the Mysterious Moon Order and began to examine it carefully.

Indeed, he quickly noticed the aura emanating from the Mysterious Moon Order and also sensed the conditions for entering the Secret Realm.

At this time, Lin Shilu’s face showed wild excitement as he spoke to himself.

“This Mysterious Moon Order is truly miraculous. If nothing unexpected occurs, there will be many entrances to the Secret Realm, and the conditions for entry are quite lenient. As long as one is not over a hundred years old, they can carry the token and enter the Secret Realm!”

Hearing Lin Shilu affirm this, Lin Tianming’s heart was also filled with excitement.

An age limit of one hundred years was, by the standards of the Cultivation World’s many Secret Realms, not high at all. It is said that some Secret Realms have very peculiar entry requirements, and often not many people meet the criteria, only able to watch helplessly as opportunities slip away before their eyes.

Regathering his thoughts, Lin Tianming then asked, “Fifteenth Grandfather, what should we do next?”

“Such an opportunity, even if it is filled with extreme danger, we must not forsake it!”

“From the current situation, there is a month from the materialization to the opening of the Secret Realm. We need to immediately return to the family and inform the Third Brother and the others, then hasten to find the entrance to the Secret Realm and wait for its opening!”

Lin Tianming nodded, aware of the urgency and that they had no time to delay.

“There’s no time to lose; let’s set off for the family at once!” Lin Tianming declared.

“Yes, let’s take action immediately!” responded Lin Shilu, then issued a transmission, summoning Lin Xingping over.

Seeing the firm joy on the faces of Lin Tianming and another, Lin Xingping asked curiously:

“Fifteenth Uncle, I’ve heard many rumors about Secret Realms recently. Does our family have a way to get in?”

“Hmm… indeed, that’s the case!” Lin Shilu nodded in confirmation, then instructed:

“Tianming and I must rush back to the family immediately. I leave Qianchuan Market in your hands, Xingping. Remember not to stir up trouble or reveal our whereabouts. Just say we’re in closed-door cultivation if anyone asks. If there’s anything you can’t deal with, you can seek the help of Daoist Ye!”

Hearing the instructions, Lin Xingping stood up, his expression resolute as he said:

“Rest assured, Fifteenth Uncle, I will take good care of the market. Please, be safe!”

“Let’s set off right away!”

Having spoken, Lin Tianming and the other person immediately got up and left the courtyard of the Cave Mansion. After changing their appearance, they quickly made their way to the market entrance.

Having left the market, the two of them did not stop for a moment, mounted the back of a Purple Gold Eagle, and turned into a dark shadow flying towards the south.

Riding on the back of the Purple Gold Eagle, Lin Shilu’s Divine Sense was fully open, constantly monitoring every movement around them.

And just like that, ten days passed in a blink of an eye…

During this period, both the Qianchuan Mountain Range and the Whirlwind Mountain Range of Huangyang Kingdom were abuzz with activity as over ten entrances to the Secret Realm appeared, the news quickly spreading throughout these two regions.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming and the other were blissfully unaware, as they were in the midst of hastened travel.

With Lin Shilu accompanying him, Lin Tianming didn’t have to worry too much about safety, as the speed of the Purple Gold Eagle was pushed to its limit.

In ten days, they had travelled from Qianchuan Market to the edge of Green Bamboo Mountain, and even passed by Golden Horn Mountain without having time to stop and greet Lin Xingrong.

At this moment, Lin Tianming and his companion looked exhausted, but they forewent rest and dove straight into the Protective Clan Formation.

Shortly thereafter, at the Cave Mansion Courtyard atop the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, where Lin Shikang resided.

Lin Shikang, Lin Shihua, and Lin Shigong were gathered in the courtyard, staring wide-eyed at the two who had hastily returned.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Lin Shilu didn’t hold back and immediately spoke up about the matter at hand.

“Third brother, the Mysterious Moon Order has activated, the Secret Realm has appeared!”

“What? The Secret Realm has appeared?”

“When? And what are the entry restrictions?”

Upon hearing the news, the others exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with incredulous expressions.

Lin Shilu was inundated with questions before he could even catch his breath.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming interjected with information about the Mysterious Moon Order.

“Ten days ago, the Mysterious Moon Order suddenly became active. We confirmed the requirements and restrictions for entering the Secret Realm, and without delay, we rushed back to the family to discuss the matter with our elders!”

“As for the restriction on entering the Secret Realm, any cultivator below the age of one hundred can enter freely!”

Upon hearing these restrictions, the Lin Family was completely eligible, and the faces of Lin Shikang and the others were overjoyed.

Lin Shikang was the first to regain his composure and immediately said:

“Shilu, among our family members under a hundred years old, your cultivation is the highest. My age doesn’t meet the requirements, so it looks like we must rely on you!”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Shihua also chimed in.

“Indeed, the Secret Realm is filled with unimaginable dangers. You must be careful on your own. If it truly becomes unsustainable, find a place to hide. When the Secret Realm closes, you will be transported out!”

After speaking, Lin Shilu frowned, remembering that they only knew of Lin Tianming acquiring one Mysterious Moon Order, but were unaware that over a year ago, the two of them had obtained another token from Gu Tong.

He chuckled and said, “Third brother, after we killed Gu Tong in the Qianchuan Mountain Range, we acquired another token. We didn’t pay much attention to it at the time and therefore didn’t inform everyone!”

“Is that true?” Lin Shikang was somewhat incredulous.

Lin Tianming promptly took out both tokens and placed them before everyone.

Lin Shikang picked up both tokens to examine them, and then laughed heartily.

“Truly, the heavens bless our Lin Family. With two tokens, our chances of seizing opportunities have greatly increased!”

Lin Shihua was also thrilled and quickly added:

“Tianming’s cultivation is not low, and he has fought side by side with Shilu on many occasions. Let’s settle on these candidates for entering the Secret Realm.”

Lin Shikang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the pair before asking for their opinions.

Lin Tianming and his companion naturally wouldn’t decline. Although entering the Secret Realm was fraught with immense danger and could even cost them their lives, among the family members under a hundred, only their cultivation was somewhat higher.

Beyond that, the Secret Realm also offered vast opportunities. If they obtained treasures, they could keep a portion for themselves, which would be of great assistance on their path of cultivation.

“As Lin Family members, it is our bounden duty!” the two declared in unison.

Lin Shikang nodded and then instructed:

“Shihua, you and a few others immediately gather some clanspeople above the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. Search around Luoyun Market and the nearby Qianchuan Mountain Range. Once the Secret Realm Entrance is found, report back to the family without delay!”

“Alright, I’m on it!”

After responding, Lin Shihua stood up and left to summon family members and search for news.

With Lin Shihua’s departure, Lin Shikang began to issue orders:

“Shigong, I must stay to guard the family. You and a few others also need to go out and search for the Secret Realm Entrance. The Qi Refining Clanspeople’s search is too slow; they can hardly gather any news. It will be easier for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to search!”

“Remember to focus on searching the major mountain ranges. Do not venture too deeply into the mountains and prioritize the mission over everything else!”

Lin Tianming and the others nodded, understanding the urgency. Despite their fatigue and not having time to rest, they stood up and left the courtyard.

After exiting the Protective Clan Formation, they briefly discussed before each chose a direction and hurriedly set off.
