Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 66 Boiling Point! A Clever Deep Dive, a Bulldozer of the Secret Realm!

"The Great Sage's Secret Realm has opened!!"

"Charge!!!"

The crowd on the street instantly erupted into chaos, rushing frantically towards the direction of Flower Fruit Mountain.

From the air, the city's streets were brightly lit, and cultivators swarmed toward Flower Fruit Mountain like ants.

Those with slightly stronger abilities turned into afterimages as they swept past the crowd, as if afraid of missing out on the Monkey King's legacy if they were even a second too slow!

"Oh my gosh! The secret realm has opened!!" On the balcony, the golden monkey excitedly jumped up and down.

He had finally waited for this moment!

If he could obtain the inheritance by entering, he would definitely avenge Sister Xiaolu! Shen Yun had already told him that the group that captured him came from the Jiang family, a powerful clan in Qingcheng! This family was ruthless and extremely evil, willing to do anything for profit!

Once he becomes powerful, he will definitely destroy the other party!

Of course, he also wanted to ask the Monkey King whether what the White Fox had told him before was right or wrong.

"Go!" Shen Yun, straddling Bai Xian'er, grabbed the golden monkey and disappeared off the balcony...

……

Outside Huaguo Mountain.

"Monsters lurk in the mountains! Enter at your own risk!!"

"There are monsters in the mountains! Anyone who enters will face the consequences!!" The soldiers guarding the area shouted repeatedly, but the boisterous crowd paid no heed.

"Demonic beasts are nothing! We can crush them with sheer numbers! Brothers, charge!!"

"I am destined to be the chosen one! I will surely obtain the Seventy-Two Transformations!!"

"Haha, I need a clone technique! Just blowing on a hair will create an assistant; it's practically a monster-slaying godsend!!"

"I want to emulate the heavens and the earth! That's the real deal when I step into a horde of monsters and start grinding!"

The crowd was in high spirits and charged into the forest with shouts of excitement.

At the forefront of the crowd, a group of people rapidly approached the secret realm, already able to see the spatial ripples emerging from the empty space of the mountain cliff ahead.

Within the ripples, one can vaguely glimpse the dark, secret realm within.

"Won't it be dangerous to just rush in like this?!"

"I heard online that the secret realm is fraught with danger, and there are even incredibly powerful humanoid evil creatures there!!"

Those who approached hesitated; being the first to try something new requires courage.

But in that brief delay, everyone noticed a white streak of light rushing into the secret realm and disappearing!

This scene made everyone extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pan, and they rushed forward at top speed:

"Damn it! Someone beat us to it!!"

"I told you to hurry up and go in! Now look what's happened, the secret realm's inheritance has definitely been stolen! It's all your fault!"

"Shut up, you bastard! All you do is complain, get moving!!"

……

In the secret realm.

After Shen Yun appeared, he looked around at the desolate environment.

As far as the eye could see, the sky was gray, and the ground was covered with giant peaks that had been weathered and collapsed.

'The environment is just like the pictures online…' he muttered to himself as he scanned his surroundings.

'If we go deeper, we'll be attacked by hordes of zombies...'

The ancient corpse horde is believed to be monsters formed after the fall of ancient beings here, influenced by the laws of the secret realm. They resemble zombies and will attack any creature that enters their territory.

The key point is that their strength is affected by the laws of the secret realm, and they will maintain the same level as the invaders, making them extremely difficult to deal with!

Fortunately, the Flower Fruit Mountain Secret Realm was extremely popular in the previous life, and many cultivators posted strategy videos online. Among them, there was a relatively safe passage leading directly to the depths.

'I remember at the entrance of the passage, there was an area with a mountain shape shaped like a C...' Shen Yun scanned his surroundings, looking for a mountain shape that matched the description.

"Master, what should we do now?" Bai Xian'er asked anxiously.

She sensed an unpleasant atmosphere here, one filled with decay and oppression.

"It should be there!" Looking at the distant mountain shape, Shen Yun pretended to do some calculations with his fingers and pointed:

"Xian'er, head northeast!"

"Master, you can also perform divination?" Bai Xian'er asked, her steps unwavering, her face full of doubt.

"Of course, otherwise how do you think I would have gone all the way to Emei to find you?" Shen Yun lied without blushing, carefully observing his surroundings to make sure he didn't get the route wrong.

The golden monkey he was carrying didn't panic at all; in fact, it looked quite disappointed.

"I thought there were lots of monkeys in here."

He thought this place would be like the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower and Fruit Mountain in movies and TV dramas, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.

"Little monkey, talk less and observe more! If you meet the Great Sage and he doesn't teach you the secret techniques, you'll cry your eyes out!" Bai Xian'er frowned.

This monkey has no inhibitions; it would be bad if it affected its owner's ability to inherit the family business.

This phrase worked, and the golden monkey quickly covered its mouth.

After the two demons had walked for more than ten minutes, they could vaguely see corpses on the ground around them, their clothes tattered and covered by weathered sand.

The unease grew stronger, making Bai Xian'er's whole body tremble. She moved her feet carefully or jumped silently, afraid of making a sound that might disturb the ancient corpses.

"Don't panic, I'm here." Shen Yun gently stroked her back to comfort her.

If it weren't for the advantage of being reborn, he probably wouldn't be in much better shape.

The golden monkey was even more direct, closing his eyes and tightly hugging Bai Xian'er's forelimbs. He seemed to have sensed that these ancient corpses were not to be trifled with!

Fortunately, this road is indeed safe.

But as pioneers, they would inevitably encounter one or two ancient corpses blocking their way.

It must be said that Bai Xian'er's teleportation ability played a huge role at this time, allowing her to leap over the pile of corpses without making a sound.

As they went deeper, the number of ancient corpses around them gradually decreased.

In the distance, a huge gray stone mountain came into view.

'This guy is not easy to deal with...' Shen Yun's expression gradually became serious.

This is a barrier that even cultivators of the previous life could not overcome, the giant stone man!

This monster's combat power is extremely abnormal, earning it the nickname "Huaguo Mountain Melee Bulldozer." No matter who comes, they will be utterly defeated.

Despite its large size and inconvenient movement, its strength will increase as soon as the stones on its body are broken!

Some speculate that it is the incarnation of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, and that destroying it will grant one access to Sun Wukong's legacy.

Some say it is the guardian of the secret realm, and that as long as you break the stones off its body to a certain level, you can gain the approval of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and receive his inheritance, etc.

Unfortunately, no one has ever succeeded.

What impressed Shen Yun most was the warning the players gave it:

Before you provoke the stone golem, if you're not confident you can defeat it, run! Otherwise, you'll be the one who dies!

When it is provoked, its grayish-white stone body will quickly crystallize, and its strength will be terrifyingly enhanced!

"Xian'er," Shen Yun whispered in Bai Xian'er's ear.

"I'll see if I can take it down with my flying sword! You prepare to escape using a series of teleports! Remember, save enough teleportation energy to get out of the secret realm!"

The warm breath on her ear made Bai Xian'er shyly shrink back, but she needed to focus and couldn't afford to be distracted. She composed herself and nodded slightly.

"Rest assured, Master, go ahead and do your best!"

Seeing the golden monkey approach nervously, Shen Yun whispered instructions:

"We won't be able to take care of you during the battle, so don't cause us any trouble!"

"Yes, yes, I know!" The golden monkey nodded repeatedly. Whether he could obtain the inheritance depended on this man and the fox, so he dared not cause trouble at this time.

"Hoo~!" Shen Yun took a deep breath, his legs tightly wrapped around Bai Xian'er's waist, and the flying sword Jinghong appeared as light flashed between his brows.

"Prepare to make a move!" His eyes narrowed, and for the first time, he fully activated the Flying Sword Jinghong.

Buzz!

The longsword trembled and its pale blue light curtain rose like the sun, illuminating the dim sky with an incomparably azure blue!

When the power of the "Amazing Swan" was unleashed to its fullest extent, the sword's blade shimmered with golden runes. The aura of a Saint-level magic weapon was fully activated at this moment, causing the sky above the secret realm to be torn apart by the sharp sword energy, leaving behind massive black cracks!

Whoosh!

As the fleeting glimpse of a beautiful bird streaks across the void.

A black rift, torn open between heaven and earth, appeared!

And the longsword.

They've already reached the stone golem's head!
