Chapter 743: Chapter 711: Outer Perimeter of the Secret Realm, Mysterious Creature

In the midst of the reeds, Lu Ping gazed into the distance, surveying the surrounding environment.

He saw a huge blue lake in the east of this reed field, without any islands. It was clear that this reed field was born adjacent to this lake.

"According to the Void Celestial Sword Spirit’s description, cultivators participating in the secret realm trials will be randomly teleported to any location in the outskirts of the secret realm. So where am I now?"

"Is this the outskirts of the secret realm?"

Having encountered such an environment for the first time, and not knowing what kind of demon beasts might be lurking nearby or what dangers might be hidden, Lu Ping exercised caution and did not choose to extend his divine sense to probe, fearing that it might alert potential threats.

He thought for a moment, recalled the Void Celestial Sword Spirit’s earlier words, and began communicating with the Void Celestial Jade, reading the map information within it.

After just a short while, Lu Ping’s brow slowly furrowed, followed by a bitter smile.

"This reed field is actually located at the very edge of the secret realm, with a considerable distance from the central Black Sea, where the Inheritance Hall is situated."

"Black Sea, Inheritance Hall, Water God Swamp, Valley of No Return... The recorded information about these places is also incomplete. I can’t determine the number of demon beasts each place holds, or the level of danger. Everything is still unknown."

Looking at the location information displayed on the secret realm map and the boundary divisions of various areas, Lu Ping clearly understood his current location.

He was now in this reed field, close to the Water God Swamp.

This Water God Swamp occupies almost one-sixth of the area of this island. If one wants to quickly reach the Black Sea, taking a straight line would naturally be the best method.

But doing so means having to cross the Water God Swamp.

The map records about this Water God Swamp show no information, only indicating that it contains a creature named Water God.

Beneath the Water God, numerous demon beasts follow, among which are Golden Core Demon Kings!

The strength of this Water God is unknown in the Void Celestial Jade, which piqued Lu Ping’s curiosity.

However, according to the rules of the Void Heaven Secret Realm, no creatures beyond the early-stage Nascent Soul should exist here, so this Water God’s power is probably not too extreme.

"If I go around and don’t cross the Water God Swamp, it will certainly be more time-consuming and laborious."

"Looks like I need to quickly leave this edge area. I must visit the Water God Swamp; perhaps I can just fly across."

After pondering for a while, Lu Ping decided to cross the Water God Swamp.

Regarding Elder Jiang and Xu Tiangxiang, their current whereabouts puzzled Lu Ping, as the Void Celestial Jade did not show their location.

It seems that relying on the Void Celestial Jade to understand the position and movements of the other eight is not feasible.

Luckily, before deciding to travel together to trial here, the four had anticipated such situations.

They had long practiced a Communication Secret Technique called ’Heaven and Earth Communication,’ allowing them to maintain contact at any time without losing contact.

As soon as this thought occurred, Lu Ping hadn’t yet initiated the secret communication when Elder Jiang’s voice first echoed in his mind.

"Lu Ping."

She softly called.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Elder Jiang’s communication, Lu Ping’s eyes brightened, "I’m here."

"How is your current status?"

Elder Jiang’s voice was calm, with a slight inquiry.

"Everything is normal."

"Hmm, where are you?"

"Judging from the map, I’ve just been teleported to the outskirts of the secret realm. Which position are you in the secret realm?"

"Let me take a look first..."

After a brief silence, Elder Jiang began to inform Lu Ping of her current location.

Elder Jiang was also located in the outskirts of the Void Heaven Secret Realm. However, from the direction, if Lu Ping was in the east, Elder Jiang was in the south.

Upon learning of Lu Ping’s intentions to cross the Water God Swamp, Elder Jiang was silent for a while and then responded: "I am at the edge of the Water God Swamp, no need to cross the swamp. Maybe you can come and meet me first."

Elder Jiang described the surrounding conspicuous geographical environment at her location.

From the location information Elder Jiang conveyed, she was roughly over two hundred miles away from Lu Ping, a distance that wouldn’t even take half a cup of tea’s time at the flying speed of a Golden Core Cultivator.

After exchanging a few words, Lu Ping then initiated communication with Xu Tiangxiang and Taiqi Peak, inquiring about their locations.

Unlike Elder Jiang, these two individuals’ locations were extremely distant from Lu Ping. Lu Ping’s thought was to first rendezvous with Elder Jiang before searching for Xu Tiangxiang and Taiqi Peak.

With that decision in mind, Lu Ping was just preparing to act when, suddenly, there was a rustling sound nearby.

A sense of eerie stillness permeated the area, even a hint of strangeness. Lu Ping’s senses were very keen, and upon hearing this sound, his brow furrowed and he immediately looked in the direction of the noise.

The reed field was densely covered with reeds, some reaching the height of a person, growing very luxuriantly. These reeds were not ordinary reeds; in terms of tier, they were Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Plants.

So many reeds—harvesting them could yield quite a number of Spirit Stones.

At this time, Lu Ping’s mind was not on these reeds.

Swish!

An even clearer sound reached Lu Ping, heightening his alertness.

Blocked by the reeds, Lu Ping couldn’t see clearly what was approaching him; it was very likely some kind of creature.

Fellow cultivators wouldn’t travel through the reeds; they would definitely choose to fly through the air.

Harnessing his magical power, Lu Ping rose into the air, and suddenly, he saw waves rolling towards him in the reed field not far away.

Although the wave’s scope was only about ten feet wide and not too broad, its length reached a hundred zhang, resembling a narrow and long creature rapidly moving through the reed field, causing such a scene.

"Demon beast?!"

Seeing such a situation, Lu Ping’s gaze sharpened.

He took a closer look and saw a dark-colored snake-like creature quickly moving through the thick reeds.

This demon beast was covered all over with dark scales, which reflected light under the sun, resembling snake scales that were extremely cold and eerie, with each scale as large as a palm.

Most notably, the creature had a silver horn on its head, which stood out against the black scale armor. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Silver-horned, snake?"

At first glance of this demon beast swiftly moving through the reeds, Lu Ping narrowed his eyes, temporarily unable to recognize the creature’s origins.

Meanwhile, as Lu Ping was observing this silver-horned creature, the beast suddenly sprang from the ground, its massive upper body leaving the ground, and its mouth opened to bite towards Lu Ping in a venomous snake attack manner.

Faced with the beast’s attack, Lu Ping raised his eyebrows, never expecting that upon entering the Void Heaven Secret Realm, he’d encounter a demon beast’s attack.

With a wry smile in his heart, Lu Ping swiftly executed a mystical body technique, moving rapidly to one side.
