Chapter 407 Landing is a Pit
Jiang He wasn't arrogant; she just desperately needed a second identity to do something.
Her current identity is too conspicuous to enter the secret realm. Once the cave is opened, cultivators from various universities will enter, with Nascent Soul cultivators everywhere and even Deity Transformation experts.
If Jiang He's guess is correct, Xie Xing will definitely enter the secret realm to search for treasure.
Xie Xingde died.
For experts above the Nascent Soul stage, the Rejuvenation Pill is merely a low-level disguise.
She needs an even higher level of disguise to deceive everyone.
The identity of Redwood only appeared once in the secret realm before the college entrance examination.
Jiang He sensed that her ninth spiritual root would manifest its attributes within the next day or two.
They used the black market to find an unregistered starship and arrived in Bozhou.
Jiang He glanced casually at the starport behind her, where various starships were docked, and the Milky Way behind her was densely packed with dark shadows.
Despite being anonymous, under the Empire's Star Network, it's difficult for ordinary people to escape data tracking. In reality, Redwood's name and traces have already been left somewhere.
After creating the identity of "Redwood," Jiang He left traces online for a year, and after going through several parties, finally obtained the imperial citizenship unique to Redwood.
Each time evidence changed hands, Jiang He would leave a trace through a fourth or fifth party.
This legitimizes Hongmu's identity, allowing him to have his own account and have no connection with Jiang He.
Sometimes leaving a trace is safer than appearing out of thin air.
With the opening of a secret realm in Bozhou, the entire continent is overcrowded. Hotels and other accommodations have long been occupied by various cultivators.
When Jiang He arrived, instead of looking for a place to stay, she went to the city center of Hengshan City in Bozhou and set up a cultivation array.
Recently, a large number of cultivators have come to Bozhou. There is no limit to the number of cultivators that a Qing-level secret realm can accommodate, so almost all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators have come to the secret realm in Bozhou.
There are also quite a few cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, all of whom are there with the attitude of gaining experience or picking up bargains.
There have been many cultivators in Bozhou these past few days, and there have also been many violent incidents, such as murder and robbery.
Many cultivators with high cultivation levels bully the weak, and scenes of killing and plundering are played out every day.
In the wilderness, where there are no sheriffs, especially near the secret realms, evil cultivators and space pirates are more likely to appear.
Perhaps because they saw a large number of cultivators with low cultivation levels, they acted recklessly, and news of cultivators going missing or being abducted was frequently heard.
Jiang Hexun's location is in the city center, and the government of Bozhou is much more proactive than Yin Hexing.
Bozhou is famous for its entertainment industry. Once inside the city, whether it's the Bozhou Building or the advertising spaces in the air, they are all filled with a large number of celebrity-making advertisements and banners.
Jiang He sat down to meditate in a certain area when suddenly a strong wind blew up, and the billboards above her head changed their content:
"The cave is open, but the entrance to the secret realm is only open for a short time. Each cultivator may proceed to the secret realm according to their own arrangements."
Jiang He gathered up the bedding.
Since their last parting at Yinhe Star, Jiang He has received a huge sum of money, totaling 30.3 million spirit stones. Her original account had 1 billion star coins, minus 5 billion for the maintenance costs of the central square.
Jiang He still has 2990 million spirit stones left.
Jiang He was really uneasy about keeping such a large sum of money in the account, so she simply withdrew it all and converted it into spirit stones.
Jiang He divided the mustard seed pouches into several batches to store the contents, but it still wasn't enough, so she had to rent a spatial ring from the black market.
Why rent? Because I'm used to being poor; even if I could afford to buy, I wouldn't be willing to spend the money.
The spatial ring was expensive, and Jiang He had tied a red string around it and tried to hide it, but in the end, she decided to wear it on her hand.
Over the past year, the space has been updated, and the fertilizer has gradually run out, completely depleting before Jiang He arrived in Bozhou.
Before leaving, Jiang He spent 900 million spirit stones to buy a top-grade life-saving magic artifact—the Golden Thread Robe.
If the wearer is fatally attacked, the Golden Thread Robe will shatter and randomly teleport the wearer to a place more than 2,000 kilometers away. It can even withstand the killing moves of a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Besides the Golden Thread Robe, Jiang He routinely spent 90 spirit stones to purchase other talismans and firearms.
Jiang He's spatial ring contains all sorts of weapons, talismans, and pills.
There was an ample supply of ingredients for making tomato fried rice and other spiritual foods.
With everything ready, Jiang He set off.
Ever since encountering the Illusion Spider, Jiang He has silently questioned the level of the cave dwelling, just as experts have speculated.
The blessed land secret realm turned into an overlapping secret realm; her luck is truly unparalleled.
Jiang He did not place any hope on the speculated level of the secret realm.
A huge billboard appeared, and hordes of cultivators crowded onto the skyrail or flew on their swords to their destinations.
The area where the Bozhou Cave had appeared had already produced whirlpools of varying sizes, their color tinged with blue. When Jiang He arrived, many cultivators were already flying into the whirlpools.
Jiang He gazed at the vortex filled with blue light and plunged into it without hesitation.
A wave of dizziness washed over Jiang He, her vision went black and then bright again. When she came into contact with the light once more, she found herself in a forest.
What comes into view are towering, straight trees, some over a hundred meters tall. From Jiang He's vantage point, all that can be seen are densely packed, intersecting branches.
The bare branches, devoid of any leaves, clustered together, blocking most of the light, with only a faint ray of light filtering through the gaps.
The dim environment and eerie trees made Jiang He alert as soon as she landed.
Logically speaking, the spiritual energy within a cave should have its own cycle, and since the restrictions and the spiritual energy within the cave are separate, the plants shouldn't be so lifeless.
Upon entering the secret realm, Jiang He could sense a dense spiritual energy, even denser than that in the Spirit Herb Valley and the planting space.
If it weren't for the numerous dangers within the secret realm, cultivation would definitely be ten times faster than in the outside world.
Her gaze fell upon the scattered branches, all of which were parched, as if all moisture had been drained away.
Jiang He focused her mind; this scene was exactly as she had read in ancient books—
These are the strange phenomena that the Demon Tree can create.
The Ghost Tree is not a real plant, but a branch of monsters.
Besides the common animal-like appearances, there are also monsters that feed on plants and various high-energy entities and resemble spiritual plants.
They are highly skilled at camouflage and like to lure prey into their territory to strangle and devour them.
The cave was left behind by Ying Fengyi a thousand years ago. While the monsters outside the cave have been updated and iterated, the types of monsters inside the cave have evolved slowly, and most of them still maintain the same few categories as a thousand years ago.
Jiang He stayed up all night studying an ancient book of monster illustrations from three thousand years ago, but she never expected her luck to be so bad.
Upon landing, one is immediately trapped in the domain of the strange tree; there's no one else like that.
