Chapter 182: Six-Winged Fire Centipede

“Should we go in?”

Seeing Tang Chen and the others enter the underground unknown space, Liu Qingyun couldn’t sit still.

Who would have thought that below the ruins of the Ancient Alchemy Sect, there would be such a hidden paradise?

“We can just wait for those guys to come out.”

Ling Xian’er glanced at Xiao Yang and said.

“Smart thinking!”

Xiao Yang chuckled.

That’s exactly what he had in mind.

He had actually known about the secrets of this Ancient Alchemy Sect long before, including the existence of this hidden place underground.

In his previous life, Tang Chen and the others had found plenty of treasures here.

Among those treasures was a complete formula for the Breaking Realm Dan.

Breaking Realm Dan—the legendary pill that had been lost to time.

No alchemy sect today could refine Breaking Realm Dan.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect’s Breaking Realm Dan all came from the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

In his previous life, the Heavenly Medical Sect had obtained the formula for the Breaking Realm Dan and managed to create it, becoming the top sect in the Northern Region for both medical and martial arts.

Tang Chen even tried to force Ning Shu to marry him.

Ning Shu refused and had no choice but to leave the Heavenly Medical Sect to travel the world, which eventually led to her being harmed by remnants of the Demon Sect.

Ning Shu’s tragedy was, in a way, also related to Tang Chen.

If he hadn’t forced her to leave the sect, she wouldn’t have ended up at the mercy of that Demon Sect’s young lord, Qin Fei.

Having lived through it all again, Xiao Yang was determined not to let such tragedies occur once more.

So, after entering the Sacred Martial Forbidden Domain, he hurried here to wait and see.

Although he knew that Tang Chen had indeed found many treasures of the Ancient Alchemy Sect here, he had no clue how Tang Chen obtained those treasures.

He didn’t know where they were hidden either.

In fact, he was completely unaware of Tang Chen’s actions in his previous life.

All of this information came from Ning Shu.

Otherwise, how would he know these secrets of the Heavenly Medical Sect?

As expected, Tang Chen had come.

The Heavenly Medical Sect discovered this ruin during the last Jiazi Grand Competition.

But since that competition was about to end, the Heavenly Medical Sect had no choice but to retreat.

Now, sixty years later, they found the place again.

Otherwise, how could Tang Chen have gotten here so quickly?

Soon, there were gasps coming from the cave entrance.

Tang Chen and the others had clearly run into trouble in the underground secret realm of the Ancient Alchemy Sect.

Although the sect had been utterly destroyed, the secret realm below must have been filled with many traps and mechanisms.

Getting the treasures stored in the underground secret realm wouldn’t be easy for Tang Chen and his group.

Before long, they rushed out of the cave entrance covered in dirt and grime.

They looked utterly disheveled, with some of them stained in blood.

One person was the worst off, half of his body drenched in red. His entire left arm, starting from the shoulder, was nothing but bone; all the flesh had vanished.

What on earth happened?

Both Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er were stunned by this scene.

It was hard to imagine what had happened to Tang Chen in the underground secret realm.

Xiao Yang, however, wore a calm expression.

He had anticipated that Tang Chen and the others would encounter trouble.

“Senior Brother, what should we do now?”

A Heavenly Medical Sect disciple cautiously asked Tang Chen.

Tang Chen pondered for a moment before saying, “You stay here; I’ll go find someone.”

With that, he left directly.

There was no way they could handle the traps in the secret realm without summoning stronger experts.

The disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect could only remain at the cave entrance and assist the disciple who had lost all flesh on his left arm.

This place was practically unknown to anyone besides those in the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Well, except for Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang was in no rush.

Anyway, they had three months’ time.

As long as he reached the Wenshentai and entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain within those three months, he could participate in the Jiazi Grand Competition.

This meant that the real competition would take place in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain three months later.

And climbing Yuanwu Mountain and reaching Wenshentai was just an early screening for all the martial cultivators eligible for the competition.

You see, only those who could successfully reach the summit of Yuanwu Mountain were qualified to ascend to Wenshentai and enter the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

All young martial cultivators under sixty, regardless of their sect or level, had the qualification to ascend Yuanwu Mountain.

However, the vast majority of them would never reach the summit.

Half an hour later, Tang Chen returned.

This time, he brought along a short and chubby middle-aged man.

“Greetings, Master Uncle!”

As soon as the man arrived, the disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect hurriedly bowed in respect.

“It’s him?”

Xiao Yang was a bit surprised.

The newcomer turned out to be Tang Qingshan, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Medical Sect, a powerhouse in the Divine Martial Realm.

And he was also Tang Chen’s uncle.

Tang Qingshan ignored the respect of the disciples and leaped straight into the cave.

Soon, a powerful Qi Fluctuation erupted from the cave entrance.

Tang Qingshan had encountered trouble in the underground secret realm as well.

Tang Chen and the others were shocked.

“Boom!”

Half an hour later, the entire ancient ruin began to tremble.

Giant cracks appeared throughout the ruins.

“Indeed, a divine powerhouse’s strike is nothing to scoff at!”

From a distance, Liu Qingyun couldn’t help but exclaim as he witnessed the spectacle.

But Xiao Yang knew that this Tang Qingshan was in for a rough time.

Ling Xian’er remained silent, her eyes glued to the dark cave entrance with concern.

Before long, Tang Qingshan burst out of the cave.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes tattered, and something had pierced through his shoulder, soaking his garments with blood.

“Uncle, you…”

Tang Chen was taken aback.

Even his uncle had failed?

How was that possible?

At that moment, a burst of firelight erupted from the cave entrance.

In the next instant, a massive creature wreathed in flames charged out from the cave.

A scorching wave swept the area.

The disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect were all taken aback.

“Six-Winged Fire Centipede?”

Xiao Yang exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the creature.

This ancient alchemy sect had actually used a Six-Winged Fire Centipede to guard its underground secret realm?

This thing was comparable to a human martial powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm.

It seemed the underground secret realm of the Ancient Alchemy Sect held plenty of treasures indeed.

Aside from the formula for Breaking Realm Dan, there must be more treasures hidden within the depths of the secret realm.

Tang Qingshan was startled to see the Six-Winged Fire Centipede chasing after him as well.

“Run!”

Tang Qingshan shouted.

By this time, the Six-Winged Fire Centipede had flapped its wings, unleashing torrents of flame toward the surrounding disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Seeing the flames sweeping toward them, the disciples were utterly terrified, their souls jumping out of their bodies.
