Chapter 272: 272
With the passage of time, more and more people stepped into the swamp, some went forward, some retreated while others died in the swamp.
Xu Muan hurriedly walked in. Xiao Jingting looked at Xu Muan and said, “What’s wrong?”
“I got a piece of news,” Xu Muan said.
“What?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“A golden core mud monster has appeared in the swamp,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting’s eyes widened as he said, “How is that possible?”
Chen Xu who heard Xu Muan pondered for a moment before saying, “It is indeed possible.”
Xiao Jingting looked toward Chen Xu and asked, “It’s possible?”
Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes, there are rumors that the Heavenly Haze Secret Realm was opened up by the strongest of some great sects in the ancient times for the disciples under the sect to try out. It is said that the strongest people in the past could create spaces and in order to ensure the safety of their disciples, those strongest people limited the cultivation level of the demonic beasts in the secret realm to be below Golden Core.”
“As the time passed, these strongest people have fallen or ascended, but the Heavenly Haze Secret Realm still opened in cycle. But with passage of time, something going wrong with the restriction of the secret realm is also possible.”
Xiao Jingting touched his chin and said, “That’s right! Cultivators can cheat, so it’s not surprising that demonic beasts that lived in the secret realm for so many years also found some loopholes.”
“Actually, the existence of a Golden Core demonic beast is not just a rumor, there were also Golden Core demonic beasts in the past,” Chen Xu said.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu with some surprise and said, “In this secret realm, there are Golden core?”
Chen Xu nodded and said, “Not really a golden core. There are restrictions in the secret realm, so you cannot have heavenly lightning tribulation or feel heaven and earth spiritual qi, so even if you advance to golden core, it’s only a pseudo golden core. But even so, such demonic beasts are still much more powerful than peak Foundation Building.”
“If this is the case, the mortality rate in the secret realm will become even higher,” Xu Muan said.
Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes! Many long-established cultivators have also capsized in the gutter.”
Chen Xu pursed his lips. There were many people with outstanding strength in the secret realm and among these people, many of them had talents that made him jealous. But even those people died in the secret realm without making a sound.
“There are only eight months left till the opening of the inner city and the big forces have started to move one after another,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
“Uncle Xiao, when are we going to enter the inner city?” Chen Xu asked.
Xiao Jingting smiled and said, “No need to rush so much, let them go first and clear the crisis on the road.”
“We still need to wait, huh?” Chen Xu said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Wait a little longer. By the way, young Chen, did your grandfather prepare any magic treasures for you to deal with the swamp?”
Chen Xu shook his head and said, “No, although grandpa is a Nascent Soul cultivator, not everything can be done in advance either. The way grandpa prepared for me was finding several Foundation Building cultivators and if it was still impossible, then I could only leave.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Don’t worry, you can definitely get there.”
Chen Xu smiled and gave a slight “hmm”.

Xiao Jingting thought for a moment and said, “In another three months, let’s start off as well.”
Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes.”

After learning about the danger of the secret realm, Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu became more and more serious about their cultivation. Xiao Xiaodong took a lot of good things to give Chen Xu, who was surprised that Xiao Xiaodong could take out so many resources that were hard to get even for his grandfather, but he didn’t ask more questions.
Xiao Jingting took a pill and began to run his soul power. With the pill’s help, Xiao Jingting’s soul power had finally increased a little.
“How is your soul power?” Xu Muan asked.
Xiao Jingting shrugged and said, “You know, although I have a lot of pills that can improve my soul power, their effect is really limited.”
In fact, when he started taking pills, their effect was still very good. However, the more pills he took, the more resistance his body developed, making the effect became very limited.
Xu Muan smiled and said, “Now there is a good opportunity.”
Xiao Jingting raised his head and looked at Xu Muan and asked, “What good opportunity?”
“You know, the Heavenly God Sect has produced two supreme geniuses and these two people did not rush into the inner city, but stayed outside to compete and for search of opportunities,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “I heard about it.”
Xu Muan smiled and said, “I just learned that those two people were injured in the Refining Wind Cliff. However, it has been confirmed that there is Soul Refining Water inside the Refining Wind Cliff that has a miraculous effect on enhancing soul power. They went for this thing but unfortunately failed.”
Xiao Jingting’s eyes shone brightly after learning about Soul Refining Water. Xiao Jingting was delighted. Only, those two cultivators from Heavenly God Sect both failed and retreated, so he was afraid it would be difficult.
“Refining Wind Cliff, let Xiaodong ask Chen Xu about it.” Xiao Jingting said, this guy Chen Xu had a profound family history and knew a lot of secrets about this mysterious realm.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Good.”
