Sole Sword Supremacy

Chapter 617 621: Thunder Secret Realm

Wang Junze quickly settled down at the Guan Family.Besides having the best food and provisions, the Guan Family was also generous with Elixir, whether for healing or cultivation needs, there was no need for Wang Junze to ask—the Guan Family proactively provided them. Some even discreetly asked if Wang Junze needed women, indicating that these women were not maids or outsiders, but members of the Guan Family.

Of course, they couldn't be direct descendants, but he could pick any woman from the collateral branches.

Wang Junze was not one to indulge in such desires, so he naturally refused, but he could feel the sincerity of the Guan Family.

Obviously, aside from not being able to shield him from the Four Great Celestial Sects' pursuit, the Guan Family could satisfy all his other requests.

However, the more attentively the Guan Family cared for him, the more vigilant Wang Junze became.

Unfortunately, despite Wang Junze's probing and testing, he couldn't obtain any useful information, and could only go along with it.

Regardless of the Guan Family's intentions, as long as the Ancient Secret Realm was real, Wang Junze could accept it.

As for how to deal with the Guan Family after returning to the Nether Sea, Wang Junze didn't need to worry about that; once the news is conveyed to Jing Yuan, he would naturally provide a proper solution.

Moreover, as long as he safely returns to the Nether Sea, even if he falls out with the Guan Family, Wang Junze will not be afraid.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning, the Guan Family's patriarch as promised, arranged for someone to accompany Wang Junze on the journey to the Ancient Secret Realm.

After traveling by carriage for about half a day, they arrived at a green mountain. According to the Guan Family patriarch, the Ancient Secret Realm was hidden within this mountain.

However, seemingly for confidentiality, even the Guan Family members were not allowed to accompany this time; only the Guan Family patriarch would take Wang Junze into the mountain.

Throughout the journey, Wang Junze remained vigilant.

Firstly, to guard against any sudden attack, and secondly, he feared they might collude with the Four Symbols Sect to lure him into an ambush.

Yet, all seemed to be just his anxiety—there were no surprises on the journey.

In an inconspicuous valley, the Guan Family patriarch drew a Thunder Talisman, breaking a Restriction and directly opening the entrance to the Ancient Secret Realm.

"Junze, this realm prohibits Saint Realm entry, so I cannot guide you inside,"

Pointing to the realm's entrance, the Guan Family patriarch lightly chuckled, "Given your strength, I should not have to say much, but I must remind you again: this Ancient Secret Realm harbors great danger, avoid greed and rashness. If you sense danger, just retreat. I'll be waiting here for you."

"And as always, once you return victorious, I'll host a banquet in your honor."

"Thank you, Mr. Guan."

With a slight bow, Wang Junze thanked him again and, without hesitation, stepped directly into the realm.

It wasn't Wang Junze's first encounter with such an Ancient Secret Realm; whether it was the Yijian Sect's ruins or Inverted Mountain, all were similar. The aura couldn't be falsified, giving Wang Junze a bit of surprise—could he have judged the Guan Family patriarch incorrectly?

As thoughts swirled, Wang Junze stepped into the realm.

Rumble!

Upon entering, Wang Junze instantly heard loud thunder, instinctively looking up, seeing lightning and thunder roaring in the sky, with purple lightning occasionally striking down.

Moreover, the air was filled with incredibly strong Spiritual Qi, though it also contained a trace of the Power of Thunder.

Without a doubt, it was indeed a real Ancient Secret Realm, where even ordinary cultivators—if they practiced here long-term—were likely to develop Thunder's Power.

Of course, as the Guan Family patriarch mentioned, the purple lightning also harbored tremendous attack power; if unlucky and struck, one below the Divine Travel Realm would have little chance of survival.

However, given Wang Junze's current strength, such attacks posed no threat.

Looking around, Wang Junze noted the realm's barren appearance due to the lightning. While not devoid of vegetation, plants were extremely sparse, and no living creatures were spotted yet.

Glancing back, the realm's exit remained unsealed, allowing easy retreat if desired.

After considering, Wang Junze decided to venture further into the realm.

For ordinary cultivators, the outskirts of the realm sufficed for cultivation; however, only by delving deeper could Wang Junze find genuine opportunities.

The Guan Family patriarch suggested Wang Junze could use the Purple Sky Divine Thunder to refine his Divine Soul, but actually, feeling the Power of Thunder might also allow him to comprehend Thunder Sword Intent, further enhancing his Sword Dao.

Regardless of the Guan Family's true intentions, this realm seemed an ideal cultivation sanctuary for Wang Junze.

Yet, unaware to Wang Junze, the moment he entered, a figure deep within the realm slowly opened its eyes...

...

"Patriarch, people from the Four Symbols Sect have arrived."

As Wang Junze entered the realm, Guan Family members swiftly approached.

"Understood."

Nodding slightly, the Guan Family patriarch said lightly, "Let Guan Qin handle it; is the body he took adapting well?"

"It was a collateral descendant prepared in advance; adapting quickly. No need for concern, patriarch."

"Good, do go. Remember, do not show any stance for now… The one in the realm is volatile; Wang Junze may indeed have a chance to emerge alive. Once things resolve here, make decisions."

With a nod, the Guan Family patriarch continued instructing, "I'll remain here; inform me of any news immediately."

"Yes!"

With a slight bow, the Guan Family expert replied promptly.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Guan Family patriarch took out a table and chair from the Spatial Ring and sat down nearby.

Having lived this long, patience wasn't something he lacked.

Yet, thinking of the one within the realm, a deep leeriness flashed in his eyes.

The Guan Family owed its current standing to the entity within the realm, but similarly, it was a sword hanging over their heads, forever tethering them to the Nine Prefectures of Longxi.

The only consolation was, despite the other's formidable strength, they were restricted by heavenly rules, unable to leave the realm easily, thus somewhat reliant on the Guan Family's offerings; yet, whatever the case, the relationship was far from equal.

He had attempted before, but even he lacked the qualifications for equal dialogue with them.
