Chapter 2229 - 2230: Secret Realm Treasures

Ling Zhenfei had long heard from people of the Guimou Sect about the Star Lord's treasures within the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, but he never gave it much thought or took it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the Peach Blossom Fairy brought this matter up herself.

A bit curious, Ling Zhenfei asked: "Why did the Star Lord hide these treasures within the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy replied: "Actually, it's not intentionally hidden here. Creating such a strong space isn't easy; these treasures form part of this place's essence."

Ling Zhenfei said: "So, I wonder what treasures are here?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy said: "I don't know exactly what treasures they are, but I know where they're located."

Ling Zhenfei suddenly laughed and said: "It's quite amusing to think about it. Outside, two realms are fiercely competing over a Heavenly God Sword from the Star Lord.

Yet, within my Peach Blossom Secret Realm, there are so many treasures from the Star Lord. Doesn't that seem quite funny when you think about it?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy said: "Very few people knew about this matter, including the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map, for many years. Although many have come to this Foreign Land over the years,

some came seeking the Secret Realm's treasures. Some met their end at the mouths of wild beasts, while others coveted my beauty, dying in battles within the array of my room. So, no one ever discovered the true location of these treasures."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Actually, I had long noticed some clues, one of the treasures seems to be in this river."

The Peach Blossom Fairy said: "You're right, one treasure is in the water, one on the mountain, one in the soil, one in the air, and another among the trees."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit stunned after hearing this. While it's understandable to have treasures on the mountain or in the water, what does 'in the air' mean?

The Peach Blossom Fairy said: "You can certainly seek a handy weapon."

Ling Zhenfei was intrigued after hearing this; the Heaven-devouring Star Lord's possessions must be incredibly powerful, and any item could be a world treasure.

But then Ling Zhenfei thought it wouldn't do. It's not just about the treasures.

"It's better not to. The Star Lord must have had a reason for placing these treasures here. I believe each treasure has its own purpose, and if one is missing, who knows what might happen. So, better to be cautious.

I don't wish to cause unnecessary damage to the Peach Blossom Secret Realm because of my greed."

The Peach Blossom Fairy nodded, smiling on her face: "I wasn't wrong in choosing you; you truly aren't a greedy person."

Ling Zhenfei also smiled. Then the Peach Blossom Fairy said: "You're not a greedy person, and I'm not narrow-minded. If you have a confidante you cherish over there, as long as she accepts me, you can bring her into the Secret Realm.

Having someone to talk to would be nice too, and if the waiting gets tedious, she can return."

Actually, Ling Zhenfei knew that anyone accustomed to staying in other realms would certainly not be able to endure the Secret Realm's isolation. The kind of loneliness isn't something many can withstand.

Perhaps only someone like the Peach Blossom Fairy could tolerate it.

Ling Zhenfei casually replied, brushing off the matter.

Ling Zhenfei spent a few days in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, and once the timing was right, he bade farewell to the Peach Blossom Fairy to leave.

This time, the Peach Blossom Fairy was visibly reluctant, apparently not wishing for Ling Zhenfei to go, but Ling Zhenfei could sense it, though the Peach Blossom Fairy said nothing.

Ling Zhenfei promised the Peach Blossom Fairy that he would visit often whenever he had time, then flew across the river.

This time crossing the river, the monsters in the water seemed to have disappeared, ceasing their attacks on Ling Zhenfei.

Since his affair with the Peach Blossom Fairy, Ling Zhenfei felt the entire Secret Realm had changed, even becoming rather amiable.

Of course, the most evident manifestation was with the river monsters. Before, leaving always felt like facing mortal enemies.

But now, they ceased to attack Ling Zhenfei.

After leaving the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, Ling Zhenfei found himself inside the tree hollow.

Sitting within the hollow, the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map lay before him, which Ling Zhenfei packed away.

The outside light began to brighten; another day in the Foreign Land had begun.

Ling Zhenfei looked outside to find the sun rising in the distance, while activity began on the distant battlefield.

Cultivators liked to practice in the morning, for such cultivation was most effective.

Ling Zhenfei enjoyed the morning very much. He packed his belongings and softly called the Lightning Bird from the sky.

Ling Zhenfei leapt onto the Lightning Bird's back, which carried him away.

By then, the Foreign Land had started its new day, and the Supreme Divine Palace teemed with people, many engaged in morning lessons.

Ling Zhenfei had once entered the Supreme Divine Palace, seen those disciples practicing morning lessons, and hadn't expected there to be no sense of impending danger despite it all.

Everything still seemed as before, which Ling Zhenfei hadn't anticipated.

Logically, now that human cultivators were demanding entry from outside, people inside the Supreme Divine Palace should be on high alert.

Ling Zhenfei found this situation increasingly intriguing, even deeper than he initially thought.

Previously, Ling Zhenfei first discovered that all these battles were part of the Supreme God's plan to capture all human cultivators.

But now it seemed that the arrival of Wuliang Mountain and Shu Mountain Sword Sect directly disrupted the Supreme God's plan to annihilate the human cultivators in the canyon.

But Ling Zhenfei later found that this was all part of the plan by the Master of Li Hen Palace. His plan even played the Supreme God.

The Master of Li Hen Palace made this decision through careful analysis, recognizing that humans and foreign races were of similar strength, though humans held a slight edge in individual combat.

Thus, he planned to block Wuliang Mountain and Shu Mountain Sword Sect, leading to their eventual arrival, which inadvertently rescued humanity.

Then humans prepared to attack the Supreme Divine Palace; after the Supreme God's plan failed, they could only resist. After exhausting many human cultivators, both sides' strength was evenly matched.

It eventually became a war of attrition, wearing down both sides' high-level cultivators.

In the end, it was the Master of Li Hen Palace who profited.

There's no doubt that Li Hen Palace aims to deplete both sides until the very last moment, when their intervention becomes the final victor.

Whether the foreigners win or humans do, ultimately, neither would be a match for Li Hen Palace.

Ling Zhenfei had once warned human cultivators, but now it seems his advice had little effect, garnering little attention.

Ling Zhenfei wondered how this matter would end as he rode the Lightning Bird, watching the Supreme Divine Palace below, which appeared as though nothing had happened.
