Chapter 646
Chapter 646: Chapter 646: Seal Ground Chapter 646: Chapter 646: Seal Ground Purple Qi Coming From the East, a serene tranquility.
Shi Hao and his companions fell to the ground, surveying their surroundings.
This area was sparsely populated with ancient trees, but all were exceptionally vital, each requiring a dozen people to encircle, with bark cracked like dragon scales.

The foliage was not dense, allowing glimpses of daylight.
There was a considerable distance between each tree, with open spaces in between, where purple mist drifted, accompanied by scarlet light, mostly flowing over from the eastern region.
The group, having entered the secret realm, felt the dense Spiritual Energy that could not be dispersed.
“Fire Demon Palace really has no decency!”
Everyone was filled with rage; Fire Demon Palace had so blatantly disrespected them, treating them as the most useless “dead weight,” sending them into the territory of their own sect.
“If necessary, they might even use us as cannon fodder,” someone worried.
Fire Demon Palace considered their combat power low, mere fillers without any threat, unable to compete with their own sect for various fortunes here.
Soon, those agitated fell silent, no longer speaking, since entering here they could encounter people from that sect at any time.
Moreover, the group quickly dispersed, maintaining vigilance towards each other.
Once inside this secret realm, they were opponents whether it was gathering precious medicine or seeking Supreme true blood, cooperation was difficult among them, filled with competition.

Shi Hao stepped forward, heading eastward.
In fact, many had moved before him, leaving behind afterimages, rushing towards that direction because the purple mist was dispersing, all from the east.
“Hey, a dog leaf vine!” Someone rejoiced, not far out, they saw a vine under Stone Mountain, rooted in the crevices, accompanied by scarlet light.
This plant was no more than three feet tall, sculpted like black jade, with leaves shaped like Ferocious Beasts, emitting strands of dark light, the whole emitting Spiritual Energy.
This Cultivator squatted down, took out a jade shovel, and carefully extracted it, not damaging the roots to prevent the loss of Spiritual Energy, quickly obtaining a kind of Spiritual Medicine.
Shh!
Suddenly, a tearing sound through the air, a scarlet streak swiftly arrived, accompanied by a scream, this rather powerful Cultivator’s eyes widened with rage, falling backward into a pool of blood.
It was a Crimson Arrow that penetrated his skull, killing him, fierce and accurate, taking his life with a single arrow, leaving no chance.
The dog leaf vine in his hands fell to the ground, stained with blood.
This made the Cultivators who had just entered the secret realm tremble with fear, too ruthless and merciless.
It was a great disaster just for picking a Spiritual Medicine.
“This is a forbidden area; you must not approach!” A voice called out in warning on top of Stone Mountain ahead.
There stood a middle-aged man, with thick scarlet hair, eyes like Bronze Bells, standing with a giant bow in hand, like a segment of an iron tower, with a vigorous and imposing aura.
As he spoke, he gestured, and the dog leaf vine flew up towards him, landing in his hand.
A dozen or so people approached his direction, and seeing this scene, they were indignant.
He was being too domineering.
Did he really think their lives were worthless?
However, everyone held their anger in silence, enduring it, as they noticed more figures from Fire Demon Palace in the forward area.
This was a prestigious school, and with cultivators capable of igniting divine flames entering, and more than one, should a conflict arise, they, merely at Venerable Realm, would perish here.
Shi Hao, from a distance, witnessed this scene, feeling dissatisfaction.
Fire Demon Palace was too overbearing and cruel, but this also showed that something extraordinary must have been discovered ahead, making the sect very anxious.
There were quite a few who shared his thoughts.
Some were tempted, but after weighing their own strength against others, they sorrowfully shook their heads and retreated.
Some others hesitated briefly, then vanished into the woods.
Shi Hao did not force his way in.
He would not underestimate any Divine Level master, especially since there was more than one, and he had to be cautious.
However, he didn’t want to leave just like that.
Instead, he circled the area, eager to find out what Sacred Entity had emerged in front.
“Could it be a Primeval Supreme’s Blood Pool has appeared?”
The terrain was undulating, with sparse ancient trees, a view that stretched far out; the area was rich in Spiritual Energy but lacked poisonous insects and Ferocious Beasts, a serene pure land.
Shi Hao stood on a high mountain, overlooking this central region of the area—a vast valley, incredibly magnificent.
There, the Purple Qi was dense, rising in steams, as if dragons were chanting, an otherworldly phenomenon.
“What a treasure land, what’s inside?” Shi Hao murmured.
The people from Fire Demon Palace guarded the entrance to the valley, ready for any threat, not allowing anyone to approach, and many watchers were scattered around, tightly monitoring.
Shi Hao wandered for a while, then headed further away, looking for opportunities, and to investigate whether there was a shortcut to other areas—the Teleportation Array.
Before coming in, he had heard that Primordial Heaven Secret Realm was vast with no boundaries, but ancient transport formations were often found, greatly shortening the distance traveled.
“Uh-oh, this isn’t good.” Soon, Shi Hao noticed something was off.
He had only traveled a few dozen miles before being blocked, a great Formation sealing the sky!
Frowning, he swiftly followed the edges of the sealing Array, looking for an exit.
To his surprise, a hundred miles around him were covered by an ancient Divine-level Formation Array, with no gaps, unable to leave this place.
Like him, dozens of other people also encountered the same problem.
While exploring this area, they found that the path was broken, with no way to leave this place.
“What is this place?
Why is it sealed by a great formation?
Those who want to get away from the Fire Demon Palace can’t leave!” Someone’s expression changed, feeling an ominous premonition.
The purple valley was located in the center of the hundred-mile region, occupied by the people of the Fire Demon Palace.
Could it be that they discovered something?
Was there a way out there?
People finally understood why there were no poisonous insects or ferocious beasts here.
It was because this was a sealed land, isolated from the outside world, preventing even ferocious beasts and divine birds from entering.
Some people tried to cross the ancient formation but quickly met with disaster.
Several were killed by the characters of the formation, causing everyone’s complexion to change.
Forcing their way through was definitely not an option.
The people looked at each other, truly at a loss for what to do.
Shi Hao went back along the original path, approaching the wide, purple mist-filled valley.
Many had returned, watching from a distance.
They felt that, if push came to shove, they would follow the people from the Fire Demon Palace to see how they left.
Boom!
Loud noises came from inside the valley, along with red lights, as a huge Scarlet-Feathered Crane burst out, half of its body burning, covered in blood, and it fell outside the valley.
Chaos erupted there, inciting a wave of alarmed cries.
“It’s been severely injured.”
Shi Hao and the others were surprised.
A Divine-level expert of the Fire Demon Palace who was igniting divine flames had been heavily wounded in the valley.
However, they dared not act rashly, knowing more than one Divine Level expert from that clan had entered.
“Let’s search for some fortunes first,” Shi Hao murmured to himself.
He didn’t want to waste time, but had no way to leave, so he began to gather herbs nearby.
Others also loitered around, closely monitoring the movements of the Scarlet-Feathered Crane clan from the Fire Demon Palace.
Soon, the calm was shattered.
Shi Hao climbed onto a cliff and found some Spiritual Medicine.
Just as he was about to pick it, a Crimson Arrow flew towards him, thudding into the cliff and causing it to collapse, huge rocks tumbling down.
He leaped into the air, looking towards the distance.
A strange-looking young man with fiery red hair hanging loose appeared.
He was very handsome but had a feminine air about him, with long, narrow eyes, looking at this place with a smile that was not a smile, saying, “Come on, my uncle calls for you.”
Behind him, several other strong individuals from the Fire Demon Palace were present, all holding huge bows with cold expressions and an aura of killing intent.
“What’s the matter?” Shi Hao asked.
“Stop the nonsense, if you’re told to go, go quickly.” The strange young man seemed impatient, looking down at the scene with utter disregard for Shi Hao.
At the same time, the other cultivators nearby were being herded by the people of the Scarlet-Feathered Crane clan to one place, forced to gather in this direction, to be taken into the valley.
Shi Hao licked his lips, sizing up the young man.
The strange young man inexplicably shivered, but the sensation quickly disappeared, leaving him questioning if it was merely an illusion.
“Let’s go, you have no other choice.
This whole area is sealed by a great Array, and the only way to leave is through the valley.
We now need to join forces,” an old man spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.
At the same time, a middle-aged strong man appeared, his eyes shining like small suns, emitting dazzling light, descending here.
He was a Divine Fire lit expert, representing the highest achievement in this place.
“Everyone, let’s move on,” he said indifferently.
Reluctantly, the crowd moved towards the valley.
Approaching the valley, the Spiritual Energy was even denser.
The ordinary plants here shone with a crystalline luster, the result of being nourished by spiritual essence for a long period.
Instead of inviting dozens of cultivators here, it was more like an escort, forcing them into the valley.
But the people had no choice, as the Fire Demon Palace had at least four Divine-level experts stationed here.
This realization was alarming; even a Primordial would not be enough here, unable to compete with them for fortunes!
The valley was surrounded by a series of purple mountains, each one overflowing with Purple Qi, very hazy.
The valley was vast and contained large swathes of ruins, with dozens of collapsed palaces, indicating that this place was once a sacred land.
The most surprising thing was that in the center of the valley stood a mountain, entirely golden, as if made of gold, emitting fierce divine light, and on it grew a tree.
“A lightning-struck tree?!” Some exclaimed.
Although forced to come here, they were still shocked, their eyes blazing with desire.
The gold mountain was majestic and robust, the ancient tree on it was absolutely extraordinary, immensely thick, entirely charred, accompanied by endless flashing lightning.
However, the tree still had a few leaves, glossy green, emitting sacred light, not withered at all.
Everyone’s eyes were glued to the sight; not to mention the abnormalities of the gold mountain, the tree itself was a priceless treasure!
Additionally, there were large, abandoned ancient medicinal fields near the Golden Mountain.
Although overwhelmed by weeds, one could still see some old medicines growing, exuding a strong fragrance.
But, those places were very dangerous, with swathes of characters lighting up.
“My friends, this is a secret realm that may hide a great secret.
Let’s explore it together,” said a person from the Fire Demon Palace.
However, while their words sounded sincere, the people from the Scarlet-Feathered Crane clan were forcing everyone forward, making them explore while their own people followed at a distance.
“Elder, there are restrictions here, very dangerous,” someone said softly.
“No worries.
We, the elderly, will follow behind.
If anything goes wrong, we will rescue you,” a Divine Fire lit expert said indifferently.
Anger rose in the hearts of the people.
One of the Divine Fire lit experts from the Fire Demon Palace was already severely injured and couldn’t protect themselves, so how could they possibly protect others.
Forcing them to go forward was tantamount to sending them to their deaths!
