Chapter 247 Extra - The Decision (1/2)

Is it the mysterious Xiyi Sea?

Ruan Tang turned the teacup in her hand, thinking of the news she had heard in her previous life.

Compared to other seas, the Xiyi Sea is not as dangerous, but the only thing that makes people tremble with fear is the Xiyi Sea Secret Realm, which opens only once every two hundred years.

Although this secret realm opens every year in the Xi Yi Sea, the location of its opening is different each time.

The most dangerous thing in the secret realm is not the strange and wonderful sea creatures and monsters, but all kinds of curses that are hard to guard against.

When the Xiyi Sea Secret Realm opened, she had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so she did not go with the Beast Taming Sect disciples.

Throughout the entire Nanli Continent, apart from their Beast Taming Sect, the Sword Sect, the Pill Sect, and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, all other sects have disciples who have been cursed to varying degrees.

Compared to the city lord's daughter, she must have been the one who fell victim to the scam that time.

Her long eyelashes trembled violently as she silently repeated those words in her mind.

The noise from the next table continued.

The birth of a magical treasure, a jungle adventure, and the recruitment of new members for the Music Pavilion...

These secrets, which would normally attract the attention of cultivators, were now completely unlistenable to her.

All she could think about was the Xiyi Sea Secret Realm, which would open in five days.

The Beast Taming Sect's own secret techniques can evade curses, so Ruan Tang doesn't care about this issue. She's more concerned about what will happen after she leaves the Xi Yi Sea Secret Realm...

Ruan Tang slowly turned her head, and her eyes met a pair of deep eyes.

Yan Yu's gaze remained fixed on her.

Seeing the little girl looking at him, Yan Yu reached out and poured Ruan Tang a cup of tea, giving her a reassuring look as he gestured for her to drink.

The man could tell from Ruan Tang's eyes that she was not at peace.

Ruan Tang lowered her head and took a sip of tea. The two sat for a while longer before putting down their teacups.

Yan Yu took out the spirit pearl and placed it on the tea table before the two of them got up and left.

Without delay, the two left the teahouse and headed straight for the temporary cave dwellings provided for visiting cultivators in the city.

Calling it a cave dwelling isn't quite accurate. It consists of two pavilion buildings, each with a different array set up in each room. The rooms are arranged into four levels—Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow—based on the amount of spiritual energy they contain. This place belongs to the Lingxiao Pavilion, so it's safe and secure.

Yan Yu and Ruan Tang did not choose the "Tian" class room. Since they would not be staying here for long, they chose the "Xuan" class room, which was a small suite with a reception room outside and a cultivation room inside.

After checking in, the two unlocked the security barrier and entered the room.

After reopening the room's restrictions, Ruan Tang took out an array plate from her spatial storage.

Buzz—

As spiritual energy was injected into his fingertips, the array plate emitted a low hum, and a light screen, barely perceptible to the naked eye, instantly enveloped the entire cave before disappearing into the stone wall.

Isolation array.

Even after finishing this, she still felt it wasn't enough.

Ruan Tang took out several soundproofing sheets from her spatial storage and quickly pasted them on the four walls and doors of the room.

Only after doing all this did Ruan Tang relax. Yan Yu walked over, picked up the little girl, and sat down on the soft couch together. He then asked in a low voice, "Tangtang... do you want to go to the Xiyi Sea Secret Realm?"

"Yes, if we want to return to the Beast Taming Sect, we must participate in the Xi Yi Sea Secret Realm. The most troublesome thing about this secret realm is the various curses, but our Beast Taming Sect has secret methods to counteract the curses of demonic beasts, so there is no need to worry."

"good."

Ruan Tang looked up at the man who was looking at her intently, and his single word of "good" calmed her somewhat uneasy heart.

Ruan Tang pursed her lips. "Brother, I'm going to start calling you A Yu from now on. Calling a man 'brother' on Nanli Avenue can easily cause controversy."

"Okay, you can call me whatever you want, it's just a form of address. But why bring this up all of a sudden?"

"The main reason is the Xi Yi Sea Secret Realm we're going to. With the opening of this secret realm, various sects from the Eastern Moon Continent, the Northern Yuan Continent, the Southern Li Continent, and the farthest Western Ji Continent have all returned to participate. One reason is to participate in the trials and compete for the resources within the secret realm, and the other is to find the inheritance that can resolve the curse."
