The first volume debuts Chapter 135 The Moon in the Sea is the Moon in the Sky
"Xuanfeng, don't be too sad. In the future, your cultivation will definitely surpass his and you will get your father's body back!" Shen Hua walked over, patted Li Xuanfeng on the shoulder, and persuaded in a deep voice.
"This is inevitable!" Li Xuanfeng's voice was extremely firm. At this moment, the calmness in his eyes finally showed a slight change. A gleam of light flashed, which made Shen Hua feel a little relieved.
"Are you really not going back to the sect with me?" Shen Hua asked again.
"Master, I am just here to calm my mind for a while. I will definitely go back in the future." Li Xuanfeng explained when he saw that his master was still worried.
"Okay, but you have to promise me that if there is any danger, you must inform me immediately and don't bear it alone." Seeing Li Xuanfeng so determined, Shen Hua had to agree, but he still made a request to Li Xuanfeng with concern.
"Okay!" After hearing the master's words, a hint of warmth rose in Li Xuanfeng's silent heart and he agreed.
Although Li Xuanfeng has agreed, Shen Hua, who knows him well, is still worried.
Before leaving, Shen Hua took out several formation jade slips and arranged them in Taoyuan Village. First, this formation has the effect of concealment and protection, which can protect Li Xuanfeng. Second, it is to enable Shen Hua to sense it in time when there is danger here. Third, he can know immediately when Li Xuanfeng leaves this place.
Because Li Xuanfeng has sneaked away more than once, it is better to be on guard. The situation in the Spiritual Continent has become increasingly chaotic and extremely dangerous. If Li Xuanfeng sneaks away again, it will be bad if he encounters danger.
Shen Hua was still sighing in his heart that his fifth disciple was really a worry. He always had his own ideas and acted on his own.
After setting up the formation, Shen Hua left Taoyuan Village and returned to Xuanling Sect.
Seeing Shen Hua setting up the formation, Li Xuanfeng felt a little amused. Has he become such an unreliable person in his master's eyes?
However, Li Xuanfeng did not care. His master meant well, and he had no plans to sneak away again. The old man named Gong who took over his father's body had already left the planet and disappeared. With his current level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to find him.
After Shen Hua returned to Xuanling Sect, he did not tell anyone else about Li Xuanfeng, including his Taoist partner Han Yue, several disciples, and his daughter Shen Luoyan.
He knew that Li Xuanfeng didn't want to be disturbed at this moment, and if he told them Li Xuanfeng's location, his daughter Shen Luoyan would definitely go to Taoyuan Village.
In the past two years, Shen Luoyan has become much quieter and is no longer as lively and cheerful as before. It seems that she cannot be happy because of Li Xuanfeng's departure.
Shen Hua even saw his daughter go to the room where Li Xuanfeng lived many times and stare at the door in a daze for a long time, as if she was a wife who was looking forward to her husband's return home.
Shen Hua couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. His daughter had fallen too deeply into it and couldn't extricate herself. He didn't know whether this relationship would end up as she wished.
The second disciple Zhu Lie and the third disciple Chen Gen also received orders from Shen Hua, not to look for Li Xuanfeng anymore.
The two were extremely confused as to why they were suddenly not allowed to go look for their junior brother.
Shen Hua explained to the two that because two second-level strong men appeared in this war, the situation in the Spiritual Continent had become completely chaotic, and it would be extremely dangerous to wander around in the outside world.
"What about our junior brother?" Zhu Lie immediately asked with concern.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to find him." Shen Hua replied with certainty.
After hearing Master’s affirmative answer, the two of them felt relieved and focused on their cultivation.
After this war, both the five righteous sects and the four evil sects rarely left their sects.
The losses of the five righteous sects and the four evil sects were almost the same. If they had not used the Purple Yuan Pill, their combat power would still be evenly matched.
However, even the five righteous sects that possess the Purple Yuan Pill no longer have the intention to start a war, lest the black-robed man take advantage of them.
This is even more true for the four evil sects, nowadays they would never leave their sect unless there is a necessary reason, with the threat of the five righteous sects and the Purple Yuan Dan in front, and the black-robed man with strange devouring power lurking covetously from behind!
Time passes, flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll and disperse, and soon a year has passed.
Li Xuanfeng never left Taoyuan Village and always practiced in peace at home or by the river.
It was not until this time that the silent Li Xuanfeng finally showed some changes. Occasionally, he would catch a wild rabbit, roast it and eat it as a way of reminiscing about his childhood.
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng's entire temperament seemed to have completely changed. His murderous intent was restrained, his hatred was hidden, and what was revealed was only his unchanging calmness.
Li Xuanfeng has now entered the cultivation world for more than three years. He is over fifteen years old, has fully grown up, is over five feet tall, has delicate features, and in addition to the unchanging calmness on his face, there is a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes.
The vicissitudes of life are usually caused by experiencing a long period of time, but Li Xuanfeng's vicissitudes of life are because he has endured the pain that he should not have endured at this age!
The vicissitudes of fifteen years old are a kind of helplessness and even more a kind of sadness!
The vicissitudes of life cannot be disguised. Even if there is no sign of it on the body, the vicissitudes of life contained in the eyes will be visible.
Shen Hua was extremely surprised to find that Li Xuanfeng had not left Taoyuan Village for a whole year. If he had not sensed that his cultivation had improved and was approaching the peak of the late Spirit Foundation Realm, he would have really worried that he was devastated by his father's possession.
The impact of this war gradually subsided. Although the nine major sects in the Spiritual Continent suffered a lot of losses, it was difficult to affect their foundations. Only the Vajra Sect and the Blood Spirit Sect were greatly affected because of the death of their sect leaders.
In the Spiritual Continent, the sect master is the strongest . Although the two sects have elected new sect masters again, their cultivation or fighting power is not as good as the original sect masters who have fallen.
One morning one year after the war, the Spiritual Continent suddenly shook violently without any warning, as if an earthquake had occurred. The clouds in the sky suddenly rotated rapidly, forming an extremely majestic vortex.
This vortex was formed by countless clouds and was tens of thousands of feet large!
This scene instantly attracted everyone's attention. Countless people looked up at the vortex in the sky and felt fear in their hearts.
Could it be that the two powerful men in the second realm appeared again?
After several hours, the vortex in the sky gradually dissipated, but it did not dissipate everyone's shock at all!
Because, after the vortex dissipated, an extremely abrupt full moon suddenly appeared where the vortex was!
The light of this full moon is not as gentle as the moon at night, but it is almost the same as the scorching sun at noon, causing the temperature of the entire Spiritual Continent to rise a lot in an instant!
It was a sunny day, and the sudden appearance of the full moon was really startling.
Although the full moon is only a few feet in size, it is facing the sun that is emitting scorching light, giving people an extremely strange feeling.
"This is... the legendary secret realm of the Moon Sea is about to be opened!"
Shen Hua walked out of the secret room where he was in seclusion, sitting cross-legged, and looked up at the strange full moon in the sky. He held an ancient jade slip in his hand, calculating the time. His eyes flashed with a strong brilliance and expectation, and he muttered to himself.
At the same time as Shen Hua recognized it, the other eight major sects also recognized this full moon one after another. It was a precursor to the opening of the secret realm of the Moon Sea!
The Moon Sea Secret Realm is a mysterious place that opens once every thousand years. Countless ancestors have gained fortune from the secret realm, and their cultivation has risen rapidly. Some even entered the second realm and left the Spiritual Continent to go to other continents to seek opportunities to continue to improve their cultivation.
Because only cultivators below the Spirit Infant Realm can enter the Moon Sea Secret Realm, so only disciples in the sect can enter the secret realm to seize good fortune.
Because of this, some people even go so far as to suppress their own cultivation and choose not to break through, just to enter the Moon Sea Secret Realm and seize the fortune when it opens.
Suddenly, the news that the Moon Sea Secret Realm was about to open began to spread like a spring breeze. More and more disciples learned about it, and many of them were glad that their cultivation met the requirements for entry.
The cultivators above the Spirit Infant Realm who had become elders, and whom they once envied, were now restricted from entering the Moon Sea Secret Realm because of their advanced cultivation, causing many of them to secretly gloat over their misfortune.
The nine major sects all released news one after another, notifying the disciples in the Lingdan Realm and Lingji Realm in the sect to prepare to enter the Moon Sea Secret Realm!
Because the Moon Sea Secret Realm only opens once every thousand years, most disciples have no idea about it. But after they read the ancient books and learned more, most of them began to make adequate preparations. As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger!
According to the experience of our ancestors, as long as one can return from the Moon Sea Secret Realm, no one will be a mediocre person in the world of cultivation!
Because they have all gained more or less good fortune, their achievements far exceed those who have never entered the secret realm of the Moon Sea.
It is recorded in ancient books that although the entrance is here, the real secret realm of the Moon Sea is not in the Spiritual Continent, nor in any other continent. It can be said to be another world with countless resources and creations!
There had been second-level strongmen from other continents who wanted to take the Moon Sea Secret Realm for themselves and move away from the Spiritual Continent!
But after trying many times, they couldn't even find the true location of the Moon Sea Secret Realm. They had no choice but to send disciples into the Moon Sea Secret Realm to seize the fortune when the Moon Sea Secret Realm was opened.
The Moon Sea Secret Realm was about to open, which instantly dispelled a lot of the depression caused by the appearance of the Second Realm. In addition, the two Second Realm powerhouses had not appeared for a year, which made everyone feel relieved.
At this time, the Spiritual Base and Spiritual Pill Realm disciples of the Nine Sects of the Spiritual Continent began to make intensive preparations, waiting to increase their success rate in snatching good fortune in the Moon Sea Secret Realm.
Because there are many dangers in the Moon Sea Secret Realm, disciples in the Rong Ling Realm will have a zero chance of survival if they enter, so all sects have never allowed disciples in the Rong Ling Realm to enter.
After hearing the news, many disciples in the late stage of Rong Ling Realm began to retreat regardless of everything, seizing the time and striving to break through to the Lingji Realm before the Moon Sea Secret Realm opened and obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm.
If you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance to enter in your life!
A thousand years is too long even for cultivators. If one's cultivation has not reached the Spirit God Realm, he will not even have a lifespan of a thousand years. Before the next Moon Sea Secret Realm opens, he will have died!
Even if one successfully breaks through to the Spirit God Realm, by the time the next Moon Sea Secret Realm opens, his cultivation level will no longer meet the entry requirements and he will have no chance to enter the secret realm.
When Li Xuanfeng was looking up at the full moon in the sky in surprise, the sound-transmitting jade slip in the storage ring began to vibrate. After taking it out and opening it, the voice of his master Shen Hua was heard.
"This is a sign that the Moon Sea Secret Realm is about to open. Hurry up and get ready. You will soon enter the Secret Realm Trial from the southern ocean!"
"The highest level of cultivation that can be achieved by entering the secret realm this time is the Spiritual Pill Realm, but after entering the secret realm, the Spiritual Infant Realm may appear soon, so be careful!"
In addition to Li Xuanfeng, his three senior brothers and senior sister Shen Luoyan also received the message from their master at the same time. With flickering eyes, they began to prepare the necessary resources.
"The legendary secret realm of the Moon Sea?"
Li Xuanfeng muttered to himself as he stared at the dazzling full moon in the sky. He had seen this name in the ancient books in Shen Hua's study, but when he saw that it would only be opened once every thousand years, he did not check it any further. He wondered if he would have the chance to enter the secret realm in this lifetime.
At that time, Li Xuanfeng didn't have the spare time to pay much attention to this matter, which he didn't know whether it would have a chance or not.
When the sun set in the west that day, the entire Spiritual Continent was still bright because the strange full moon in the sky was still there.
According to ancient records, this full moon will disappear between heaven and earth only when the secret realm of the Moon Sea is opened.
At this time, the real moon also appeared in the sky, but its brightness was completely incomparable to that of the strange full moon. It was obscured by only a faint crescent trace.
Outside of the Spiritual Continent, two nearby continents not too far away also discovered the full moon above the Spiritual Continent. Knowing that the Moon Sea Secret Realm was about to open, the sects and families on the continent asked their descendants in the Spiritual Foundation and Spiritual Pill Realm to begin preparations.
But Li Xuanfeng was different. He still hadn't left Taoyuan Village and didn't seem to be planning to prepare the resources needed to enter the Moon Sea Secret Realm.
He had prepared a lot of things before sneaking into the Demon Cult's territory, most of which were elixir-level items, but they were not used later, so there was no need to prepare them now.
Ten days later, the full moon was still hanging in the sky, and all the cultivators in the Spiritual Continent had become accustomed to it.
Careful people were surprised to find that the full moon was gradually expanding. Although the speed was very slow, it was indeed gradually expanding. In ten days, it had expanded by a full ten feet!
When the full moon had been out for nearly a month, all the sects were ready and all began to rush to the seaside in the south of the Spiritual Continent.
Because according to the records of our ancestors, the secret realm of the Moon Sea will open thirty-three days after the full moon rises, so we need to rush to the beach and wait in advance.
At this time in Xuanling Sect, two airships were already waiting in the air. Led by two Lingying elders, the disciples who were preparing to enter the Moon Sea Secret Realm entered the airships one after another, but Li Xuanfeng’s three senior brothers and senior sister Shen Luoyan were not among them!
At this time, they were all in Huayue Garden. Shen Hua looked up at the airship that was ready to take off. They stood behind him in confusion. It was Shen Hua who asked them to wait here.
The disciples of Xuanling Sect were very efficient. In just one stick of incense, the two airships started to move while vibrating, and then sped away to the south!
"Master, aren't we setting off together with the other brothers?" The big man Zhu Lie couldn't help but ask Shen Hua.
The truth is that he was looking forward to this trip to the Moon Sea Secret Realm too much. When he saw that other disciples of the sect had already set off, he couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Let's go pick someone up before we set off again!" Shen Hua smiled and explained.
"Is it Xuanfeng?" Shen Luoyan, who had been silent, asked immediately after hearing his father's words. His eyes flashed with brilliance, and his whole body seemed to be radiant in an instant.
Li Xuanfeng's three senior brothers also showed anticipation on their faces, waiting for Shen Hua to give them the answers they wanted.
"Xiaoyan guessed right." Seeing his daughter's expectant look, Shen Hua couldn't bear to hide it from her any longer, so he answered.
"Where is he? Why didn't he return to the sect?" After hearing this, Shen Luoyan finally showed a bright smile on her little face, and asked more questions.
"You will know when you get there. Just ask him if you have any questions." Shen Hua had no choice but to throw these questions to Li Xuanfeng.
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and Shen Luoyan and others instantly appeared in the air, landing on a huge golden sword.
Shen Hua was already standing at the tip of the sword at this time. His spiritual power was circulating, forming a spiritual power shield for everyone, and he instantly flew towards Taoyuan Village!
This sword is no longer the long sword originally used by Shen Hua. That sword had been shattered by the attack of the demon corpse in the half-step second realm during the battle.
In just a few breaths, Shen Hua and his companions appeared on the three peaks where Taoyuan Village was located. The sword light flashed again, and they had already entered Taoyuan Village and stood behind a figure by the river.
"Greetings to Master, and to all the brothers and sisters."
Li Xuanfeng sensed it immediately, turned around and bowed respectfully.
"Junior brother, when did you return to Taoyuan Village? Why didn't you tell us?" The eldest brother Zheng Cheng nodded and smiled at Li Xuanfeng, but the second brother Zhu Lie and the third brother Chen Gen were no longer so polite. Instead, they pretended to punch him directly and complained.
"I came back a month ago. I wanted to stay in my hometown for a while, so I didn't go back to the sect." Li Xuanfeng did not tell the truth because his master Shen Hua had specifically told him before he came. He could only say that he had not been in Taoyuan Village for long. Otherwise, the things that Shen Hua helped him conceal might cause dissatisfaction from his daughter.
Seeing that no one had come to Taoyuan Village in the past year, Li Xuanfeng guessed that it was his master who kept it a secret for him and naturally would not betray him.
But at this time, Shen Luoyan just kept staring at Li Xuanfeng without saying anything. She kept changing the position of her hands, as if she didn't know what to do.
It seemed that he had a lot to say, but after seeing Li Xuanfeng, he didn't know how to start.
"Let's go to the beach first. We can talk slowly there." Seeing his daughter's embarrassment, Shen Hua had to speak up to help.
Then he appeared on the golden giant sword again, carrying a few people, and instantly flew towards the southern seaside.
During the journey, Shen Luoyan kept her eyes on Li Xuanfeng, but she didn't walk up to him, which made Li Xuanfeng feel a little uncomfortable, so he could only smile back.
In just half an hour, several people appeared on the southern coast. At this time, there were already thousands of people, and other people from the Xuanling Sect also arrived not long ago. Each sect chose an area and was setting up a formation.
Because we don't know exactly how many days the Moon Sea Secret Realm will be opened in, we need to set up a formation for cultivation and protection.
After arriving here, everyone discovered that the full moon, which had originally appeared huge because it had expanded by several feet, had an even larger outline here. It was now several dozen feet large, hanging above the sky, as if it would fall down at any time!
Under the leadership of Shen Hua and two Spirit Infant Realm elders, the formation was set up very quickly and was completed in a moment without the help of Li Xuanfeng and others.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng was standing on the beach, looking at the sea. The huge full moon in the sky was reflected on the sea surface, turning into two huge white full moons.
Second senior brother Zhu Lie and third senior brother Chen Gen were originally asking him about what happened during the time he was away, but before Li Xuanfeng could answer, Chen Gen pulled Zhu Lie aside and said he had something to discuss.
"Why did you suddenly say you had something to discuss? I haven't finished asking my junior brother yet." Zhu Lie complained, but turned around and saw Shen Luoyan standing not far behind him, so he blinked and left silently.
After the two left, Shen Luoyan quietly came to Li Xuanfeng's side and looked at the two huge full moons in the sky and the sea with him.
Seeing that Li Xuanfeng was still staring at the sea without turning his head, Shen Luoyan suddenly asked slowly.
"Xuanfeng, have you ever heard a sentence?"
"What?" Li Xuanfeng turned around and asked in confusion.
"The moon in the sea is the moon in the sky!"
