Chapter 129: Seizing the Secret Realm Core

That confirmed it was the correct one.

"Zhiyi, use your eyes to determine the location of the boundary membrane. Gou Zhi, avoid that area and cut the stone out from where it connects to the cave."

After he spoke, Chen Zhiyi and Gou Zhi nodded.

As they worked together, they carefully cut out the section of stone that carried the boundary membrane.

Once completed, the three meter tall stone wall became a stone block about two meters in size.

Looking at the stone, Xiao Shou recalled the original story, where after obtaining the Immortal Grass and the Water Qilin, the female protagonist Xiao Ran had also wanted to take away the stone that served as the entrance to the secret realm.

In the end, she discovered that the storage ring could not contain it, so she had no choice but to place it into the Heavenly Orb space.

Unexpectedly, the moment the stone entered the Heavenly Orb space, it immediately turned into powder and everything inside the secret realm was extracted and devoured by the Heavenly Orb.

From this, it could be seen that the object anchoring the boundary membrane could not be stored in spatial storage items.

However, whether others would believe this if he said it was another matter and how he knew it was also a problem.

The only way was to demonstrate it to them.

"I’ll try to see if a storage item can hold it."

After deciding, Xiao Shou stepped forward, placed his hand on the stone, and attempted to store it in his storage belt.

The stone did not move at all.

Even though he had expected this result, Xiao Shou still felt a slight disappointment and said, "Looks like we can only proceed with the second method."

"Fortunately, Master, you thought of this possibility and had Cao Xue prepare a one time simple single direction teleportation array."

As he spoke, Fu Young took out the array disk that had been hastily refined over the past few days, placed it on the ground, inserted spirit stones, and looked toward Xiao Shou.

Xiao Shou nodded. "Proceed according to the original plan. Young’er, you and Gou Zhi will escort the boundary membrane and leave through the teleportation array. Zhiyi and I will stay behind to destroy the array and then regroup with the others. This place is deep beneath the sea. The whirlpools above will block spiritual fluctuations and divine sense detection, so they will not notice the teleportation. There is no need to worry."

"Mm." Fu Young thought about how they had made thorough preparations for this operation.

The surroundings were filled with illusion arrays and Cao Xue had also hidden a powerful killing formation capable of injuring Deity Transformation cultivators within them.

There were also Gou Guangming, Gou Heng, and Gou Yue, three Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even if they were exposed, it would not matter.

At worst, they could simply kill them all.

After all, he had already left secret instructions for those four.

If necessary, they did not need to show mercy.

So he nodded obediently.

His well behaved appearance made Xiao Shou want to pull him over and thoroughly ruffle his long black hair, but given the current situation, he could only suppress the urge with regret.

He watched as Fu Young and Gou Zhi departed through the teleportation array, then destroyed the traces of the array disk.

He then returned along the original path to the sea surface to meet the others, after that he withdrew the formation and headed back to White Silver City.

Everything went so smoothly that Xiao Shou found it almost unbelievable.

Previously, he had only intended to take in a child destined to become cannon fodder as a disciple, yet he had nearly lost his life in the process.

This time, he had obtained another major opportunity that originally belonged to Xiao Ran and everything had gone so smoothly.

What about the laws of destiny? Was the Heavenly Dao no longer protecting Xiao Ran?

He had even expected major trouble in accordance with fate, which was why he had deliberately sent Fu Young away.

He had been fully prepared to face serious danger, but instead...

Then he thought about the people and the shattered medicinal garden that had fallen from the sky and nearly hit Fu Young as well as how his own luck had been improving ever since taking Fu Young as a disciple.

Perhaps the rule that Xiao Ran’s opportunities could not be taken was not absolute.

It might depend on who was taking them.

But if even Xiao Ran’s opportunities could be seized by Fu Young, then what kind of existence was he?

Could he be a major villain boss?

In many novels, there are antagonists who shine brilliantly in the early stages, with luck that rivals the protagonist, but later, due to taking the wrong path and losing support, they end up delivering spirit stones, equipment, and even their own lives to the protagonist.

Could Young’er be that kind of character?

Xiao Shou thought for a long time but could not recall any character named Ano Tian from the Longevity Love.

Maybe he was overthinking it.

Still, he should pay more attention in the future and make sure Young’er did not go astray, form karmic burdens and damage his own fortune.

After returning, the group went straight to the former secluded cultivation site of the White Silver City Lord.

They had already set up formations and barriers there to prevent any disturbances from being detected outside.

The receiving point of the one way teleportation array was also located there.

When they arrived, Fu Young, Gou Zhi, and Chen Qingzhi were already waiting.

When he saw everyone return safely, all of them, except the ever expressionless Gou Zhi, let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhiyi looked at the eager expressions of those around him. He then stepped forward and injected the power of his eyes.

As he did so, his face gradually turned pale.
