Song Weizhi chuckled as she looked at the little girl beside her. After the girl kissed her, she dared not lift her head, only the tips of her ears blushing, announcing the owner's shyness.
Song Weizhi pinched the girl's hand on the side while laughing lightly, "Alright, since my little Dao Companion at home said so, I'll cover it up as my little Dao Companion wishes."
As she spoke, she pinched a finger and covered the red mark on her neck. The red mark was concealed.
Song Zhixia secretly glanced at Song Weizhi's neck, and only when she saw that Song Weizhi hadn't deceived her, did she feel relieved.
Song Weizhi thought it was a pity to cover it up; it was done by her little girl at home, and she planned to keep it that way!
In no time, the two arrived at the entrance to the secret realm. At this point, many people had gathered. Wei Zhao was waiting for Song Weizhi and Song Zhixia, and Zhao Xuankun was there too.
Song Weizhi greeted them and waited together for the opening of the secret realm.
Soon, a dozen people dressed in the attire of disciples of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect appeared in the distance, led by Qi Yingzhe from that day. Behind him were a man and a woman, dressed more elegantly than the other disciples.
Qi Yingzhe gestured for everyone to be quiet as he walked to the entrance of the secret realm. "After the secret realm opens, everyone will enter in order with the wooden plaques. If you encounter danger inside, you can crush the wooden plaque, and the formation will directly take you out of the secret realm. The wooden plaque is also a scoring tool; each time you kill a monster, you will accumulate points. The top thirty with the highest points will enter our Cold Mountain Sword Sect."
Qi Yingzhe scanned the crowd and continued, "There will be certain dangers for individuals in the secret realm, but everyone can rest assured. The two behind me are Zhou Chengwen and Zhou Qingxue. Both of them have already reached the Nascent Soul realm. They will enter the secret realm with you all, assisting in case of danger."
"Oh, so they are Zhou Chengwen and Zhou Qingxue. I heard they are the children of the Sect Leader, with such high cultivation. They are truly outstanding individuals."
"Yes, and they look good too. When we meet them later, we must stick close and seek their protection."
"Absolutely, couldn't agree more."
Song Weizhi also looked over there. Zhou Chengwen looked decent, but compared to her sister Zhou Qingxue, he fell short. The girl seemed to be eighteen or nineteen, with a beautiful appearance. Her eyes were lively, indicating that she had been well-protected by her family.
Following Song Weizhi's absent-minded gaze, Song Zhixia saw her Senior Sister daydreaming about a pretty girl. Annoyed, Song Zhixia stomped on Song Weizhi's foot.
Feeling pain in her foot, Song Weizhi snapped out of it, looking at her foot and then at the seemingly innocent girl beside her. What did she do? Why is her little bunny angry?
Qi Yingzhe gave some instructions, and then the secret realm was opened.
As soon as the secret realm opened, everyone rushed in. Song Weizhi and the others were not in a hurry and leisurely entered the secret realm at the end.
When Song Weizhi entered the secret realm, she was holding hands with the little girl. However, as soon as she stepped in, she felt something was wrong. The hand she was holding now only grasped empty air. After a moment of misty transmission, Song Weizhi found herself in a forest.
As soon as she landed, vines from all directions entangled Song Weizhi. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her Li Shuo Sword flew out into the air. Song Weizhi infused her spiritual qi into the sword, and with a loud bang, the trees around her were uprooted, and the vines drooped. It seemed they were dead.
Song Weizhi's wooden plaque displayed the number seventy-two, indicating that she had just killed seventy-two demon vines in one go.
At the same time, on the huge spirit mirrors in the main hall, the events in the secret realm were being broadcast synchronously. Song Weizhi had killed more than seventy demon vines as soon as she entered the secret realm, putting her in the first place.
Sitting in the position of the sect leader, Zhou Yeran nodded and asked Qi Yingzhe standing beside him, "Yingzhe, do you have any impression of this Song Weizhi?"
"Master, Song Weizhi and Wei Zhao have the highest cultivation among this group of disciples. The spiritual stones showed that both of them have reached the cultivation level of Perfection-Golden Core realm. Just now, watching Song Weizhi's control of spiritual qi in the secret realm, she is truly a talented individual." Qi Yingzhe expressed his opinion truthfully.
Zhou Yeran also nodded with a smile. He hadn't expected that among the new disciples, there would be two at the Golden Core realm, and both were at Perfection-Golden Core realm. Among the disciples of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, only Qi Yingzhe and his children had reached the Nascent Soul realm. If these two promising talents could also reach the Nascent Soul realm, the Cold Mountain Sword Sect would truly soar to new heights.
In the secret realm, cutting these vines for Song Weizhi was as easy as cutting fruits and vegetables. After the vines in the rear saw a large area of trees falling in front, they didn't dare to approach Song Weizhi at all. They just stood there obediently, acting as trees. They even flattered and covered the sunlight for Song Weizhi.
Seeing that they were quite sensible, Song Weizhi didn't bother to cut them anymore. By now, she had already killed more than two hundred demon vines, placing her at the top of the rankings.
However, Song Weizhi's expression was not relaxed. She wasn't worried about Wei Zhao's cultivation at the Perfection-Golden Core level, but her little girl had reached the Perfection- Enlightenment realm, and the little chicken couldn't fight. This made Song Weizhi somewhat worried.
Having read many novels in her past life, Song Weizhi always felt that something bad would happen when the main characters, both male and female, were together. Therefore, she unconsciously quickened her pace, trying to get out of this dense forest.
During the journey, she encountered many disciples entangled in the forest. Song Weizhi just took a glance and walked away, showing no intention of helping. This led to curses from those people, but Song Weizhi didn't care.
At the same time, the scene on the large mirrors in the main hall switched to an area above the sea. The sea seemed strange; people stepping on it felt as if they were on solid ground, but various types of monster beasts would emerge from the sea.
In the mist, Song Zhixia opened her eyes and found herself on this vast sea. Without Song Weizhi by her side, Song Zhixia felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, she happened to run into Zhao Xuankun. After recognizing each other, they couldn't help but feel relieved. However, before they could say a few words, a giant octopus monster emerged from the water in front of them. The monster was as tall as a two-story building. Seeing the two people, its wriggling tentacles lunged at them.
Fortunately, the two of them had entered the secret realm before, so they were not panicked. They raised their spirit swords to fight.
Zhao Xuankun ran to the front of the monster to attract its attention, while Song Zhixia attacked from behind when it was not paying attention. The monster, trapped in the sea for years, emitted a foul-smelling secretion. It not only left threads but also exuded a dark blue glow. If their stomachs weren't empty, they would have vomited long ago.
After accumulating enough spiritual qi, Zhao Xuankun slashed off four or five tentacles of the monster, enraging it. The remaining tentacles coiled around Zhao Xuankun, but he was not afraid of being coiled. However, the stench was unbearable, and the sticky secretion on the tentacles clung to him. Zhao Xuankun just wanted to clean himself up quickly.
Song Zhixia, taking advantage of the distraction caused by Zhao Xuankun, flew with her sword and launched a direct attack on the back of the monster's head. The fiery blade split the monster's head in half.
The monster lay soft on the sea surface, but the tentacles around it were still wriggling, and dark liquid flowed from its head, emitting a foul odor.
Zhao Xuankun was covered in the secretion from the tentacles. He wiped his face, pulling off some threads. Even though he felt nauseous and immediately used several purification techniques, he still felt a strange smell on himself.
As soon as they relaxed, more and more octopus monsters emerged from the sea, and their sizes were no smaller than the previous ones.
"So many? Dealing with these will probably consume all our spiritual qi," Zhao Xuankun said, glancing at Song Zhixia.
"We can't worry about that much. I have to stay; I want to be with my Senior Sister," Song Zhixia thought. She had already rushed into the group of monsters, thinking that if she couldn't stay, she wouldn't be able to be with her Senior Sister every day in the future.
Seeing that Song Zhixia had rushed over, Zhao Xuankun also raised his sword and joined the battle. However, the smell from earlier made him disgusted with himself. He could only endure the nausea and kill the monsters.
At the same time, in the main hall, Zhou Yeran and several elders were also paying attention to the situation of Song Zhixia and Zhao Xuankun.
"These two disciples seem not bad, but I don't know if they can hold on until the end."
"Yes, this sea and the dense forest where Song Weizhi was earlier are the two most difficult places to pass in the secret realm. However, they are also the best places to accumulate points. It depends on whether these young people can handle it."
"Yes, it seems that among the disciples who came this time, there are indeed a few good talents. Given time, they are the hope of our Cold Mountain Sword Sect."
At the same time, Song Weizhi, in the most dangerous place mentioned by the elders, sat on a vine, bored and resting. This formed a sharp contrast with other disciples who struggled to escape the vines.
The vines beside Song Weizhi could only hope that she would show mercy and spare them. Glancing at the points on her wooden plaque, Song Weizhi saw that her score had already soared, so she decided not to continue blasting these vines. However, just now, she had explored the area and found that her sword could not fly out. There must be some restrictions placed on it.
She could only wait here for the restriction to be lifted while keeping an eye on the wooden plaque. Her little girl's name soon rose to the twenties, next to Zhao Xunkun. Song Weizhi curled her lips. Could it be that her little girl and Zhao Xuankun were in the same place? However, she thought again that Zhao Xuankun was not bad, so it would be good for the two to have someone to watch out for each other.
