Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

"Devouring Spirit Worm!"

"Isn’t that the legendary vicious insect bred by the Insect Demon?"

"This Secret Realm is really bustling this time."

Outside the four gates of the Secret Realm maze, Nascent Soul Cultivators from various factions received the news, and couldn’t help but feel astonished.

Of course, most Nascent Soul Cultivators speculated that a junior had obtained this heaven-defying opportunity, and immediately grew greedy, their eyes changing one by one.

A junior who hasn’t grown up yet holds an opportunity that incites the greed of these Nascent Soul Old Monsters; it’s false to say they’re unmoved.

This Insect Demon once escaped all the way from the Great Jin, and it was heard that with Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, he could escape from a Divinity Transformation master, almost shattering the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm—a legend indeed.

"Such an opportunity, what is this Secret Realm worth? As long as one can find this junior who received this opportunity, perhaps there’s a chance to prove the Dao and transform into Divinity!"

"It’s rumored that the Insect Demon was hunted by Great Jin Cultivators because he glimpsed the opportunity for Divinity Transformation..."

The expressions of the Nascent Soul Old Monsters were varied, but they were all contemplating in their hearts.

"However, with the Devouring Spirit Worm exposed, I fear this person is hiding in the Five Elements Forbidden Land, how frustrating!"

Due to the restrictions of the Secret Realm, Nascent Soul Cultivators could not enter the Five Elements Forbidden Land, causing them to be helpless despite having countless methods.

The news of the Insect Demon Inheritor appearing stirred an enormous wave among the Nascent Soul Old Monsters.

Only a few near the end of their lifespan, who purely came this time to scheme for their juniors, were not too greedy, merely sighing in admiration.

Meanwhile, the Low Tier Core Formation Cultivators were solely focused on the Secret Realm, unaware of what had happened.

...

At the eastern gate, of the Bihai Palace cultivators entering the Secret Realm this time, only eleven scattered individuals finally made it through the Five Elements Forbidden Land.

Of course, this did not include the Array Master the Sixth Elder was searching for.

Out of nine Tier Three Array Masters, only six entered alive.

As the sun rose and set within the Secret Realm, the sundial rotated, finally, one day, a wave of Spiritual Energy erupted around the palace’s abyss.

"It’s finally opening!"

Amidst exclamations, barriers formed of Spiritual Energy emitted a glow, extending directly to the vast hall.

The towering gate also emitted a heavy sound under this glow, like two great mountains moving, the fan-like door slowly opening.

"Let’s go."

With the appearance of the Devouring Spirit Worm and Insect Demon Inheritor, although these Nascent Soul Old Monsters were tempted, they needed to locate their target.

There was only one Insect Demon Inheritor, and now that the Secret Realm had opened, the treasures were right in front of them.

"The Secret Realm hall has finally opened!"

Among the crowd of Bihai Palace cultivators, Lin Chang’an watched the scene with astonishment.

In front of the palace created by an ancient supreme powerhouse, Core Formation Cultivators were like ants, slowly advancing.

These two stone gates, each a hundred feet high, were enough to make Core Formation Cultivators sigh in admiration.

The abyss blew out a terrifying, piercing cold wind; even Core Formation Cultivators had to seriously form Magic Techniques, lest they be blown away if they were careless.

"This abyss has a No-fly Restriction; any cultivators blown into the abyss have never come up alive."

Led by the brute, Jin Kaishan, walking in front, he firmly stomped on the glow, which surprisingly formed a pathway of light.

"Hurry, the pathway is open for only three hours. If you miss it, don’t think about entering the Secret Realm."

In the crowd, Lin Chang’an feigned a look of amazement, as if witnessing a masterpiece crafted by ghosts and gods, while a colossal wave surged within his heart.

The scene before his eyes left him in awe, but more importantly now, he had to complete the task given by the Sixth Elder and then quickly escape.

As the Bihai Palace group moved first, the remaining cultivators hurriedly followed suit.

Upon entering the dimly lit hall, the first sight was a majestic pavilion.

"Each of the four gates has four pavilion structures, corresponding to Magical Treasures, Elixirs, Cultivation Technique inheritances, and rare treasures—items left by ancient cultivators. However, this maze of opposing yin and yang is unpredictable.

Every time the four pavilions are opened, they randomly transform. Countless cultivators have obtained various treasures here, but anyone can only take one item before being transported out..."

The massive, burly Jin Kaishan at the forefront, hearing the Sixth Elder’s explanation, disdainfully sneered and mocked:

"Unfortunately, although there are many treasures left by the ancient cultivators, they couldn’t withstand nearly ten thousand years of exploration by later cultivators. As early as a thousand years ago, the treasures here were emptied by them."

A group of Nascent Soul Cultivators bypassed these once-glorious pavilions that had attracted countless cultivators.

This scene caused Lin Chang’an to take a deep look at these pavilions representing past glory.

How different is this from powerful cultivators? They were incomparably glorious while alive, but after their fall, only a legend remains.

"Ultimately, the great Dao sought in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is for eternal life, to be immortal throughout the ages, rather than leaving behind a glorious past."

Once a person dies, what’s the point?

After passing through the pavilions, they encountered dense, eerie black walls ahead, exuding a sense of oppression.

As they stepped in, these black walls seemed to come alive and began to change.

"Yin and yang reversed, five elements changed!"

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an’s pupils shrank, and the compass in his palm was already chaotic, unable to discern direction.

This was the reversed maze the Nascent Soul Cultivators were obsessed with!

"Yin and yang reversed, five elements changed, life and death in an instant, that’s what this maze is about!"
