y the wind group.Upon thinking of this, everyone's hearts were filled with anxiety, but they still couldn't find a way out.Just then, Xiu Zhi Rui suddenly pointed to the front and exclaimed with surpr...Gubi Town.

Guxian Battlefield's outermost region, located at the northernmost town. It sits at the border between the outer and middle layers, making it a necessary passage to enter the middle layer. Gubi can essentially be seen as a dividing marker between the two regions.

From Xúanlǐguan to Gùběizhèn, the journey along this route is relatively safe. There are numerous market towns and cities along the way, making it the safest path into the Ancient Immortal Battlefield.

From here, heading north, there are few places to settle down.

Upon entering the middle layer, the celestial phenomena became even more terrifying. Packs of cloud beasts roamed, their power formidable. The riddled and weakened restrictions of the secret realm struggled to hold for long. Aside from a few precarious marketplaces that existed precariously, the vast middle layer only boasted three towns, built within intact sections of the secret realm, each separated by considerable distance.

Here is the translation:

Cultivators who lack the strength stopped at Gu Bei Town and dared not venture any further.

Gubi Town is called a town, but due to the limitations of the secret realm's range, it's actually quite small. There's only one main street, dominated by shops, and very few people actually live there.

Along the streets, shops lined up one after another. There were inns, shops selling elixirs, magic tools, as well as those who bought spiritual materials and attached spirits or evil objects. Everything was available.

Those who could reach Gubei Town with their abilities were basically Qi Refinement Stage cultivators. The shops on the street looked rather deserted and had a poor business, but in reality, the profits were huge.

The price of the pills and magical artifacts sold in the shop was extremely high, which was due to the special location of Gubing Town. The prices even rivaled those of small caves in Xuankang Pass.

Fortunately, there's a Shadow Guard outpost in Gubai Town, so Qin Sang and the others don't have to pay this exorbitant fee.

At this time, Qin Sang stood at the gate of Ying Wei's stronghold, looking up at the sky.

Gu Bei Town was built on a patch of barren land, where one could clearly see the wind whipping up dust and sand, obscuring the sky and relentlessly assaulting the barrier. In the midst of this sandstorm, streaks of crimson light danced – the flames of celestial fire.

The forbidden light fluctuated, and even within the secret realm, one could feel the terrifying power of the celestial phenomenon.

The people living in Gubi Town seem to have long since become accustomed to it, still doing what they need to do, not even glancing upward.

Due to the instability of the ancient fairy battlefield space, deep within it are filled with spatial cracks. Although the outer edges do not have spatial cracks, they are still affected. Not only are there gusts of wind and lightning in the sky at all times, but sometimes celestial phenomena will also occur due to spatial fluctuations. The deeper you go into the ancient fairy battlefield, the more frequent and terrifying these celestial phenomena become.

The celestial phenomena are unpredictable, with the possibility of bone-chilling winds, fiery infernos descending one moment and goose-feather snow blanketing thousands of miles the next. Sometimes, several celestial events occur simultaneously, with lightning and thunder, earthquakes and landslides, and ice and fire colliding, creating a truly spectacular sight.

In celestial phenomena, cloud beasts are even more active. Cultivators not only need to fully cope with the celestial phenomena but also must always be vigilant against cloud beasts. Fortunately, there are signs every time a celestial phenomenon appears, allowing cultivators to find safe places to hide in advance.

Outside, the weather raged. In Gubei Town, the atmosphere was more lively than usual. The cultivators took advantage of this to start trading and replenish their supplies.

"Qin Dao-friend, the innkeeper said that this celestial phenomenon will end soon. Senior Brother Yin previously ordered us to gather at the secret realm entrance when the celestial phenomenon ends and depart immediately."

Behind him, a woman's voice came. Qin Sang turned his head and saw a woman in plain clothes. It was Yun Qiong, the traveling companion he had met earlier. He nodded in response.

Looking around, Qin Sang didn't see Mu Senior Brother's figure. He shook his head helplessly and followed Yun Qiong as they walked towards the entrance of the secret realm together.

This time, the ten fellow cultivators include four Foundation Establishment cultivators and six Qi Refinement stage cultivators above level ten.

As usual, only three cultivators at the early stage of foundation establishment were needed.

Mining for Dry Yang quartz is most important to mask one's own fluctuations, so as not to be detected by the cloud beasts. As long as you can successfully infiltrate them, the Dry Yang quartz has already surfaced, and mining it is not very dangerous; even a Qi Refinement cultivator could accomplish this.

They relied on a star-shaped cloud device issued by the Head of the Sect, activated by three cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. It was powerful enough to cover a large area for an extended period, more than sufficient for mining operations.

In case of an accident, the coverage area of the cloud device can also be reduced to deploy manpower to deal with emergencies.

Originally, it was already confirmed that Mu Yifeng, Qin Sang, and Yun Qiong dispersed people, plus seven Qi Refining Stage shadow guards.

The three of them were all at the early stage of the Qi Refining period. Qin Sang made up his mind not to take credit for himself, letting Mu Yifeng be the captain. Naturally, that Yun Qiong dispersed person couldn't make any waves either.

Unexpectedly, just before their departure, someone named Yin Xingge suddenly stepped in.

Ying Xingge came from Yaowangzong, while Yun Qiong Sanren was a disciple of Yanyu Lou. These two sects were long-standing ones in Xiao Han Yu. Although they didn't have Yuan Ying ancestors, they had several Jin Dan masters, making their strength formidable. Several sects similar to Yaowangzong united at Xuankouli Pass, enabling them to share some voice and influence.

Although Yaowangzong is not as powerful as Shaohua Mountain, Yin Xingge himself possesses the cultivation of the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment period and ranks among the top four. In the cultivation world, strength is paramount, so Qin Sang and Mu Yifeng can only obey his orders.

Qin Sang could feel that Mu Yifeng was unhappy, but fortunately this man knew the importance of the overall situation and did not act impulsively. He just went through the motions when doing things.

He could also guess that Yin Xingge was probably here for the Qianyang Crystal.

Kyanyang Crystal is a rare spiritual material that can be used to refine magical treasures. Jindan masters need this item to refine extreme yang magic treasures. If they can bring back one Kyanyang Crystal on this trip, everyone's good deeds will directly increase tenfold. The person who discovers the Kyanyang Crystal first may also receive a reward from the Jindan master.

Whether Yin Xingge was instructed by the inner sect's Golden Core master or coveted tenfold merit, what he valued must have been the Qianyáng Crystal.

The crystal of yang energy is such a precious thing, it's not something you encounter every time you mine. Otherwise, it would be a Jindan master leading the team personally.

However, that vein of ore hasn't produced any yang crystals in decades. According to past patterns, there's a slightly higher chance now, but it's still just a small chance.

Walk outward along the street, going downhill all the way.

The reason the secret realm's terrain is a broken mountain, and its entrance is at the foot of the mountain, by the small river.

After a while, the two reached the end of the street and saw a jade-like ribbon ahead. By the riverbank was a wooden dock, surrounded by several dilapidated wooden boats. They had no ropes but remained motionless in the flowing water, actually being magic artifacts for entering and leaving the secret realm.

By this time, over a dozen people had gathered at the dock, waiting for the secret realm to open so they could leave.

Yin Xingge and seven others stood together. The other six Shadow Guards were all Qi Refinement cultivators, including disciples from three major sects, but they didn't dare to disobey Yin Xingge's orders in the slightest. They had arrived early to wait.

"Yun Qiong, junior sister... Qin Daoist friend..."

Yin Xingge nodded and greeted them. Seeing that Mu Yifeng hadn't arrived yet, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say much. seriously injured. As a result of misfortune turning into fortune, he was able to return to his sect to recuperate.Not only did he avoid the most dangerous time period, but he also reaped a rich harv...
