Opportunity often coexists with danger.
The Xuantian Secret Realm may be a land of treasures, but it is equally perilous.
The danger stems from the demons and monsters within the realm. Originally, these creatures were not particularly powerful, as the secret realm was designed for sect disciples to train—not to send them to their deaths.
However, the problem is that the Xuantian Sect has been extinct for tens of thousands of years. During this time, not only have rare medicinal herbs grown rampant, but the demons and monsters have also multiplied uncontrollably. Even though the secret realm imposes restrictions, preventing the creatures from surpassing the Divine Core Realm in strength, after such a long period, one can only imagine how many Heaven Origin Peak-level great demons lurk within!
When Gu Qingfeng read this, he was instantly wide awake.
He had been in the Cangming Realm for over a month now, and heavens knew how he had survived this past month.
Every day, he walked on thin ice, treading carefully, keeping a low profile and staying out of trouble.
Why?
Simply because he hadn’t seen any fellow demons or monsters—his own kind—leaving him feeling empty and insecure.
The Greenwood Domain was human territory, where demons and monsters were oppressed, struggling to survive in the cracks. Gu Qingfeng had ventured out alone many times at night, but to his dismay, the Greenwood Domain had reached a point where even wandering at night wouldn’t guarantee an encounter with a ghost!
He had once considered leaving the Greenwood Domain for a land teeming with demons and monsters. However, the distances were vast—realms were separated by tens of millions of miles, making it nearly impossible to traverse without reaching the Heaven Realm.
Moreover, the Cangming Realm was home to countless races. What if he encountered danger along the way?
Even if he eventually reached a demon stronghold, the lesson from Patriarch Tianxiang’s experience still haunted him. If he ended up imprisoned by demons again, things would take a turn for the worse.
For these reasons, Gu Qingfeng had no choice but to endure the hardships in the Greenwood Domain.
But now! With the Xuantian Secret Realm, everything was different!
Demons and monsters ran rampant inside, and since the secret realm was originally established for disciple training, those above the Heaven Realm were barred from entering. This also meant that the strongest creatures inside would only be at the Heaven Origin Realm!
This was practically the perfect training ground for him! There was no need to worry about being sealed away due to an overwhelming power gap.
Most importantly, the secret realm also contained Void Spirit Divine Water!
The Sword Sect had tasked Junior Sister Wen and her three companions with securing this treasure within the Xuantian Secret Realm.
Void Spirit Divine Water was an ancient rarity, long extinct in the outside world. Fearing that the disciples might not recognize it, the Sword Sect had included detailed descriptions in their secret orders.
The water was colorless and odorless, as if it were pure nothingness. Its sole purpose was to purify one’s essence, energy, and spirit—making it the primary ingredient for refining Void Spirit Pills.
The moment Gu Qingfeng learned of this divine water, he decided that the Xuantian Secret Realm was a must-visit.
This was the treasure that could help him condense a perfect ten-marked Divine Core! Once he obtained the Void Spirit Divine Water, he could purify his essence, energy, and spirit to the point of nothingness. At that point, all he needed was an Emperor-grade cultivation manual, and his path to the perfect Divine Core would be complete!
And that wasn’t even considering the demons and monsters inside.
With a thought, four iron tokens materialized before Gu Qingfeng, each engraved with the character "Xuan."
These were the Xuantian Secret Realm trial tokens taken from the four Sword Sect disciples. Entry into the secret realm required these tokens, and one’s cultivation could not exceed the Divine Core Realm.
"There’s still a month before the Xuantian Secret Realm opens. Right now, many people outside must be scrambling for these trial tokens. Since I have four in hand, keeping them all is pointless—I might as well sell three and make a tidy profit!
Besides, this month will also give me enough time to refine the Genggold Sword Formation, adding another layer of protection."
With that, Gu Qingfeng set his one-month goal. However, he didn’t act immediately. Instead, he went to find Shang Xinyan first.
Of course, it wasn’t because of the fire stirred up by the two Sword Sect women—it was just that he hadn’t seen his wife in days and missed her a little.
He found Shang Xinyan and invited her for a stroll above the clouds, overlooking the scenic beauty of the Greenwood Domain.
Gradually, the two stopped atop a valley brimming with vibrant flowers in full bloom.
Suddenly, rain began to fall from the sky.
...
And so, Gu Qingfeng and Shang Xinyan spent the day admiring the flowers, like an immortal couple, carefree and blissful.
When night fell, he didn’t return to the Cangming Realm, choosing instead to stay with Shang Xinyan.
As for cultivation?
What was the point of that?
...
The next day, Gu Qingfeng returned to the Cangming Realm.
He sent his clone to refine the Genggold Sword Formation while his main body headed to a black market to offload the loot taken from the Sword Sect disciples.
Why the black market? Simple—some of the treasures bore identifying marks, and selling them in legitimate places risked exposure to the Sword Sect.
Gu Qingfeng spent the entire day there.
Shockingly, he didn’t sell a single piece of stolen goods. Instead, his collection of treasures grew even larger.
Watching his spatial ring fill up with more and more loot, Gu Qingfeng sighed helplessly. "This really wasn’t my intention. It’s just my professional habits acting up again."

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
