Path to Immortality Begins With Marriage-Chapter 140: Suspicious

Veronica finally opened her mouth and said with a slight smile on her face.

"You are right, Ning Zhi. With an immortal realm cultivator’s secret domain now being accessible through the 3 portals that are located within the North Continent, it is only right that you wouldn’t have any spare time to take in a direct disciple right now."

Upon speaking up to here, Veronica paused for a second to take a quick glance at her daughter, Vanessa, then looked back to Ning Zhi and asked with a slight frown on her face.

"So, I’m assuming that the reason you are asking me to craft and enchant a few tier 1 and tier 2 weapons for you is because you are intending on letting these 2 direct disciples of yours and those other disciples from your talisman crafting department to explore the secret domain?"

Upon hearing what Veronica said, the slight frown that was on Ning Zhi finally disappeared, and with an indifferent expression that she always wore on her face, Ning Zhi responded indifferently.

"That’s right."

Right as Veronica heard Ning Zhi’s answer, the frown that was on Veronica’s forehead turned into a deep frown, and right as Veronica was about to open her mouth to speak...

Seemingly to be aware as to what Veronica was about to say, Ning Zhi opened her mouth to speak first before Veronica was able to.

"Since you have just only learned about the secret domain from me, it’s safe for me to assume that you don’t know anything about the secret domain, right?"

Although Ning Zhi was asking Veronica a question, it was evident that Ning Zhi wasn’t expecting an answer from Veronica as Ning Zhi could be seen continuing speaking without giving a chance for Veronica to speak.

"The secret domain is currently only accessible for cultivators who are within the energy refining realm."

"If any cultivators who are within the foundation establishment realm or above were to try to enter the secret domain via the portals..."

"Or, at the least, the portal that is located at the end of North Continent’s west side, they will be blocked by a thin layer of barrier."

"And if they were to try and force their way through the thin layer of barrier, they are immediately disintegrated into ashes by a fire energy that is emitted out by the portal."

"As for how I know of that?"

"That’s because 3 foundation establishment realm cultivators have tried to force their way into the portal despite being blocked by a thin layer of barrier that was created by the portal, and all 3 of them had been disintegrated into ashes."

"Of course, it still isn’t truly confirmed whether if golden core realm cultivators would be able to force their way into the portal or not. After all, there’s not a single golden core realm cultivator who is tired of living and attempted at entering the portal with force."

"However, it is true that when a golden core realm cultivator tried to enter the portal, just like the foundation establishment realm cultivators, the golden core realm cultivator was blocked by a thin layer of barrier."

"Therefore, as of how things are right now, whereby the secret domain can currently only be accessed by energy refining realm cultivators, it is the best time to send these 2 direct disciples of mine, and those other disciples from my talisman crafting department to explore the secret domain."

"Otherwise, who knows if the secret domain will end up being just like the Dragons’ Graves, whereby it will only be opened for a short period of time in every 10 years or so?"

After Ning Zhi spoken up till here, to Ning Zhi’s surprise, the deep frown that was Veronica’s face was still present.

Thus, with her left brow raised, Ning Zhi asked with a slightly confused look on her face, "What’s wrong? Do you still have some sort of misgivings regarding me sending your daughter over to explore the secret domain even after hearing what I had just said to you?"

With a deep frown still on her face, Veronica subconsciously took a glance at both her daughter and Feng Xue, then asked with a grave voice.

"Even so... At the end of the day, the secret domain is still the domain of an immortal realm cultivator, isn’t it? Thus, even if foundation establishment realm cultivators and above aren’t able to enter the secret domain, how safe even is the secret domain to explore for cultivators that are only within the energy refining realm?"

"What I’m trying to say is that, if it’s too dangerous, I would rather my daughter not explore this secret domain. And of course, I feel the same regarding Feng Xue too."

Naturally, Ning Zhi caught with her eyes that Veronica took a glance at Feng Xue, which caused Ning Zhi to become slightly confused as to why Veronica did that, and even more, became even more confused after hearing what Veronica just said.

"Isn’t it normal that there would be risks and danger when exploring such domains? As a golden core realm cultivator, you should be aware that this secret domain is practically an extremely huge god-sent opportunity for energy refining realm cultivators."

"Look at Dragons’ Graves, despite how high the chances of dying are, yet so many cultivators are still willing to enter the Dragons’ Graves every time when the Dragons’ Graves is opened for everyone to enter."

"Why is it so? It’s basically because the Dragons’ Graves is the secret domain of an immortal realm cultivator!"

"And right now, there’s currently a similar domain to the Dragons’ Grave, which is extremely favorable to energy refining realm cultivators as only energy refining realm cultivators are able to enter it right now, unlike the Dragons’ Grave, where all cultivators, so long as they weren’t an immortal realm cultivator, were able to enter..."

"Yet, you are saying you would rather your daughter not explore this secret domain...?"
