Secret Lands, they are mini-universes built by powerful cultivators with their Great Divine Powers.

Forces like the ten major sects have had too many predecessors ascend to the Immortal World: if they ever had the chance to return to the Lower World, they would inevitably leave some legacy for their sect.

Maybe leaving behind Immortal Artifacts or creating Secret Lands, and so on.

Doing this is mostly for the development of the sect, but there is also a small part that is to satisfy one’s vanity.

Imagine, countless junior disciples pointing at the things one left behind, speaking words of adoration that are akin to flattery; how gratifying would that be?

Unfortunately, in these more than ten thousand years, as the Ascend to Immortal Platform and the Sky-reaching Road disappeared, very few Immortals have been able to come to the Lower World.

The predecessors of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had never visited.

“These Secret Lands were all left by our predecessors. The strong figures of our sect have always maintained them, so they have been well preserved.”

“Inside each Secret Land, there is either an Immortal Artifact or a Semi-Immortal Artifact. If uncle junior would like, we can take a look at each one!”

The Sect Master’s face was filled with a thick smile.

Li Cheng’s eyebrows twitched subtly, a trap!

The Sect Master just wanted to delay time!

“Uncle junior, besides the Secret Lands, our sect also controls a Ruins Realm. Would you like to take a look?” the Sect Master suggested again.

Oh?

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised. When he didn’t manage the sect affairs in the past, it seemed like he missed out on a lot!

The Ruins Realm refers to a small world.

Secret Lands are mini-universes created by human effort, whereas Ruins Realms are naturally occurring small worlds.

“What’s inside that Ruins Realm?” Li Cheng asked curiously.

“That Ruins Realm is not far from the Kunlun Realm; after about a dozen transmissions, you can reach it. Inside, there are many heaven and earth treasures and Demon Beasts; it is one of our sect’s important sources of economic income,” the Sect Master explained.

The First Elder took over the conversation, “Actually, it’s just so-so. The strongest demon beast is only at the Nascent Soul Stage, the highest grade of the heaven and earth treasures is only fourth-level; after all, it’s just a small world, can’t compare to our Kunlun Realm.”

The Sect Master glared fiercely at the First Elder.

He was trying to delay time by all means; hadn’t this guy figured it out?

And yet, he was destroying their plans!

Li Cheng smiled, “Then let’s skip that and go straight to see the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod!”

The Sect Master, having no choice, glared at the First Elder again before saying, “The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod is in the seventh Secret Land, follow me!”

The First Elder looked baffled. What had he done wrong?

Indeed, he must have offended the Sect Master somewhere!

Just the other day, when he was sent to deliver disciples to the junior uncle, he had sensed it!

Stepping through the portal formed by the membrane, the view before him changed, transforming into a world of clear skies and bright air.

Here, the birds sang and the flowers fragranced, with hills rolling on and about, medicinal fields visible everywhere.

Li Cheng understood; there were already many medicinal fields in the sect, but he didn’t expect there to be even more here. It seemed these were the main focus, the ones outside perhaps meant to mislead outsiders.

“The seventh Secret Land spans a thousand miles, with two Loose Immortals guarding it. The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod is at the central location.”

The Sect Master spoke and flew ahead.

In the center of the Secret Land was a lake, beside which stood more than a dozen wooden houses. In front of the houses towered a pavilion.

At this moment, two elders in the pavilion who looked past fifty were both serious, periodically striking the table with a robust strand of True Yuan.

On the table, there was a palm-sized tripod with three legs enveloped in a pale golden sphere of light. No matter how the small tripod dashed and collided, it couldn’t break free from the light’s enclosure.

“How strange, this tripod has slumbered for fifty thousand years, and suddenly it wakes up not only to shake itself awake but also stubbornly tries to break out of the secret land. Old Hei, what do you think actually happened?” The white-robed elder furrowed his brows as he spoke, and while talking, he channeled another stream of True Yuan into the sphere.

The elder known as ‘Old Hei’ was clad in black robes, yet his appearance was the same as the white-robed elder’s.

He glanced at the small tripod and stroked his snow-white beard, “Old Bai, it’s rather simple, there are two possibilities, the first is that it has developed spiritual wisdom and wants to escape!”

“The second is that our sect’s information about this tripod has leaked, and someone is tempting it from the outside with Immortal Pills or secret techniques!”

Old Hei’s words made Old Bai ponder for a moment before nodding, “That makes sense, but suppressing it like this all the time is not a solution. How about we try a little trick, ‘release it to catch it’?”

What he implied was to first undo the sealing and see where the little tripod wanted to go.

Old Hei nodded in agreement, “That’s a good idea. I want to see who dares to covet the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two turned their heads in unison toward the distance, seeing a group of more than ten people swiftly flying towards them.

The Sect Master touched down before the pavilion first, bowing deeply, “Greetings to the Black and White Uncle Ancestors!”

Li Cheng, among others who followed the Sect Master down, curiously looked at the two elders. Judging by their vast and ocean-like aura, they were Loose Immortals!

Moreover, they were more powerful than Bai Tieyi, with no specific number of tribulations known.

Just as Old Hei was about to speak, Old Bai interjected, “Look, it’s calmed down!”

On the table, the small tripod quietly settled down.

“Oh? So this silly tripod calms down when it sees there are more of us?” Old Hei asked with suspicion.

The Sect Master and everyone else shifted their gaze to the table, and upon seeing the situation there, the Sect Master’s expression turned odd, “Black and White Uncle Ancestors, what’s up with the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod that it requires both of you to suppress it?”

Old Bai slightly shook his head, “We are also wondering the same. Just now, it suddenly awakened and tried to fly outside. If it weren’t for Old Hei’s quick reaction, it would have escaped!”

Old Hei puffed out his chest, his hands behind his back, “This is a semi-Immortal Artifact left by our ancestors, how could we let it escape? Sect Master, you don’t need to thank me.”

The crowd exchanged glances. The Sect Master looked at Li Cheng and then at the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, conjecturing, “If I’m not mistaken, it’s very likely that the little uncle’s recent concoction of the Responding to Calamity Pill woke up the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod!”

“As for the tripod wanting to run, it probably wants to find the little uncle!”

This statement gained the unanimous agreement of the Elders, all nodding their heads.

The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was a semi-Immortal Artifact when it was forged, possessing strong spiritual properties, which was precisely why no one had been able to tame it, so for many years, it had fallen into slumber.

It wasn’t until it sensed the astonishing Pill Skill from Li Cheng, or possibly the True Fire containing the Rule of Fire, that it awoke from its slumber.

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Did this mean that if the two uncles hadn’t interfered, the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod would have already come to find him?

“Responding to Calamity Pill?”

The Black and White Elders simultaneously turned to Li Cheng, asking in unison, “You can concoct the Responding to Calamity Pill?”

The Sect Master hurriedly presented the bottle of the Responding to Calamity Pills, “Please have a look, uncles, this is what the little uncle just concocted.”

The two elders snatched the bottle of pills impatiently, eager to inspect it.

The Responding to Calamity Pill was extremely tempting for Loose Immortals. No matter the number of tribulations they had faced, consuming it would enhance their chances of success in their next Loose Immortal Tribulation.

You should know that there are only two outcomes for a Loose Immortal’s tribulation: success means living another thousand years, and failure results in utter annihilation.

In such circumstances, who wouldn’t want a Responding to Calamity Pill?

“Supreme quality Responding to Calamity Pill!”

Upon recognizing the quality of the pills, a flicker of brilliance lit up in the eyes of the two elders, but they soon regained their composure.

“Heh heh, I was wondering why the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was trying to escape. It turns out it wanted to acknowledge its master. Had I known, I wouldn’t have stopped it!” Old Hei chuckle said.

Saying that, Old Hei undid the sealing on the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, “Go ahead, your master has come!”
