Chapter 4: The Secret Realm
At this moment, all the children looked at Honglian with a kind of envy, respect, and even looking up, and they all had the same idea in their hearts, it turned out that this was a genius.
The family elders were also shocked when they heard the news of Red Lotus' breakthrough, and thinking of her cultivation speed was as if they had seen her future.
Honglian's parents were also very happy, and their status in the family skyrocketed.
However, Red Lotus never relaxed at all, she couldn't help but not slack off, but instead cultivated harder than before. As long as she thought of the night when Bai Shucheng absorbed the Yin Qi of Xiyan and cultivated to reach the eighth layer of the foundation building period, Red Lotus was restless, as if only cultivation could make her heart calmer.
Innate qualifications are important, but they will not be so obvious after the foundation building period, so time is very important for immortal cultivators.
In this way, in Red Lotus's almost crazy cultivation, she broke through again and reached the second layer of the Qi cultivation period, which only took a month.
This kind of speed, even in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, no one can reach it.
In everyone's opinion, Red Lotus's breakthrough was like there was no bottleneck at all, and it could be described as smooth sailing, but only she knew that this kind of rapid breakthrough was unstable and would definitely have a great impact on her future cultivation, so she couldn't help but slow down the pace of cultivation and began to stabilize the realm.
Every time the head of the Hong family mentioned the red lotus, he had to sigh, he had to break through in two months, and he reached the second level of the qi cultivation period at the age of five, which was definitely not something that a person like them could do. However, the more this is the case, the more happy the patriarch is, and the better the red lotus, the more it means that he will be able to get ahead in the sect in the future.
In one year, the sect will accept disciples, and these families in the secular world also have their own places of trial to improve their cultivation.
The "Secret Realm Around the City" is a place of trial left by the ancestors for the future generations to be able to better cultivate. There is a rule in this trial ground, that is, only monks within the fifth level of the Qi cultivation period can enter, that is, the ancestors specially set up for those children of the family with low cultivation to have a place to stabilize the realm and improve their cultivation.
In the secret realm, there are all kinds of low-level demon beasts and treasures, as long as the treasures are obtained in the secret realm, they all belong to individuals.
Such an opportunity is a rare test for the younger generations of every family.
Each family can only choose five people to participate in this trial. The patriarch of the Red family had a headache, because he really wanted to let the red lotus go, but unfortunately the cultivation of the red lotus was too low, and she was a rare wind spirit root, unlike others, even if the cultivation was low, she could take the risk of trying it, if the red lotus had something wrong in the secret realm, it was not her alone, but it would affect the development of the family in the immortal cultivation world in the future.
In addition, there are also third-order demon beasts in the secret realm, which can only be dealt with by monks above the seventh level in the Qi cultivation period, and the ancestors deliberately set a ban in order to unite and cooperate with the younger generations, leaving a fixed number of third-order demon beasts.
It is still reluctant to deal with a first-order demon beast with the cultivation of the second layer of the Red Lotus Qi Cultivation Period, let alone the third order, even the children of the fifth layer of the Qi training period at home may not be able to deal with it. But if the red lotus doesn't go, it will also be a huge loss, maybe you will be able to get the treasure in the secret realm, and you may even get a further breakthrough. If you wait until the next secret realm is opened, it will be ten years later, and it will be impossible for Red Lotus to have such a chance again. Opportunities are accompanied by dangers, and the patriarch finally decided to let Honglian choose for herself.
Hearing the patriarch's worries, Honglian just expressed her attitude that she must go to this trial. Such an opportunity, how could Red Lotus miss it, actual combat ability is very important for a monk, and she is now in a state of extreme instability in her realm, with this trial, she will definitely be able to stabilize and make further breakthroughs.
Red Lotus is looking forward to this trial, after all, opportunities are hard to find, and not everyone has the opportunity to enter a place like the secret realm.
Seeing that Honglian insisted, the patriarch did not dissuade her, but nodded with some relief, with a firm and unflinching heart, she could move forward more smoothly on the road of cultivating immortals in the future.
Three days later, in the early morning, thick clouds gradually gathered in the sky.
The rain fell silently, and the streets gradually darkened.
Today is the day when the secret realm opens.
Honglian was stunned for a while, opened the window, and looked outside.
At this moment, the patriarch was standing outside the door with four children, waiting for her to go out.
Red Lotus pushed open the door and came to the patriarch and saluted him, and the patriarch smiled with satisfaction. Behind her are Honglian's parents, at this moment, Honglian's mother is still crying, she is a weak woman who can't be separated. But the father was resolute, turned to Honglian's mother and said:
"What are you crying about, the child is looking for an opportunity, it's a good thing, we're waiting for her to come back......"
Honglian looked back at her parents, this time of getting along, I don't know what it was like to get along for a while, looking at her mother's tearful face, looking at her father's worried and self-pressing appearance, she only felt that all this was a luxury for her, this did not belong to her, that was the love that their real daughter should enjoy. This kind of warmth, if you immerse yourself for a long time, will get used to it, and she can't be stumped by this emotion. She can't afford to love this kind of thing.
Honglian smiled at the two who were still immersed in the pain of separation, if she hadn't experienced the hardships of her previous life, she might choose to be a good and filial child like this, and accept everything they gave herself.
Red Lotus slowly turned her head and followed the patriarch into the distance.
At this moment, she doesn't know that sometimes a turn may be a lifetime of parting.
When I came to the opening range of the secret realm, I saw that there were many people gathered there, and each family brought their best children.
At this time, the secret realm has not yet been opened, and this secret realm is opened every ten years for a year, and then it is automatically closed.
The rain hadn't stopped yet, and Honglian looked at the person in front of her, and her heart felt a little heavier. No matter when, she can't be like others, even if she has the appearance of a child, she can't have a carefree heart like a child.
Everyone waited, and after about half an hour, a vague afterimage gradually appeared in the sky, and the crowd suddenly became noisy, and the afterimage was a huge door.
After seeing a more grand secret realm in the immortal cultivation realm, Red Lotus was still not too surprised by this kind of secret realm. But the other children are different, they have seen such a scene for the first time, and they are all whispering, and in that voice, there is excitement, anticipation, and nervousness......
The door slowly opened, and it was the entrance to another dimension.
"Go ahead. With an expectant expression on his face, the patriarch said to the five children in front of him.
Red Lotus nodded along with the other four children, and walked towards the gate of the secret realm.
Children from various families also entered one after another. After all the children entered, the gate slowly closed again.
Gradually, the afterimage blurred, and then vanished, as if it had never been there.
The patriarchs standing in place all showed worried expressions, because in the secret realm, it is very likely that something dangerous will happen, and sometimes, it is not only the demon beasts that need to be guarded against, but also the people of various families, and it is normal for them to die. Several patriarchs looked at each other, and they all showed that their children must be the best, and the patriarch of the Red family was no exception.
