After leaving the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm, Liu Shunyi did not depart immediately.

With his true identity unknown to others, why not take advantage and enjoy some freedom?

At that moment, Liu Shunyi was hidden among the crowd, observing the participants of the Great Competition of Chosen.

His primary goal was to identify any Heaven’s Chosen with questionable character, ready to inscribe them in the Grand Dao Golden Book.

However.

When Liu Shunyi saw the appalling state of the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm, he was taken aback.

“This can’t be right! I left so much intact when I departed!”

“Could it have been Senior Sister?”

Liu Shunyi scratched his head.

“And she accuses me of being ruthless! This Senior Sister is even more ferocious than I am!”

Just as Liu Shunyi muttered quietly to himself,

a burly man approached him closely.

“It wasn’t me,” the man said hastily. “As soon as I obtained the divine ability I sought, I teleported out.”

Liu Shunyi was surprised.

“Senior Sister?”

The burly man smiled slightly.

“What do you think of my newly acquired divine ability? Impressive, isn’t it!”

Liu Shunyi discreetly gave him a thumbs-up.

“Senior Sister, you’re amazing!”

Still puzzled, Liu Shunyi asked,

“If it wasn’t Senior Sister, then could it truly be the work of the Heavenly God Cult?”

Chen Qiaoli shook her head.

“Not yet certain, but regardless of whether the incident in the secret realm was orchestrated by the Heavenly God Cult, they’re doomed.”

“The grudges against the Heavenly God Cult run deep among these sects. Hence, irrespective of their involvement in the River of Forgetfulness affair, the Heavenly God Cult must be eradicated!”

Suddenly, Chen Qiaoli’s expression turned grave.

“Oh no, it seems like a full-scale sect war is imminent! I can’t let this happen; I need to make a swift escape!”

At the same time, she glanced at Liu Shunyi.

“Considering we share similar paths, here’s some advice for you.”

“Even as Outer Sect disciples, you may find yourself drawn into battle, but try your best to stay on the sidelines and avoid recklessness!”

“As the saying goes, ‘The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.’ Neither you nor I have any influential backing, so if we stand out too much, we risk being crushed without mercy!”

With those words, Chen Qiaoli vanished instantly.

Liu Shunyi pondered for a moment.

Ultimately, he decided to observe further.

If possible, he might even secretly engage someone in combat.

Of course,

Should the situation become too perilous,

He would retreat and focus on steady cultivation later.

After all, his cultivation bottleneck wasn’t truly a hurdle.

However, since he had come this far,

Why not seize the opportunity to confront more enemies and climb the rankings?

With this thought, Liu Shunyi seamlessly blended back into the crowd.

Time swiftly passed, another two months gone.

During this period, Liu Shunyi gained a direct understanding of Chen Qiaoli’s immense power and was even more astonished by her extraordinary, fate-defying opportunities.

The reason why these sects hadn’t outright purged the Heavenly God Cult and still allowed their disciples to enter the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm was due to its core: the River of Forgetfulness Temple. Compared to what could be obtained within the temple, any losses outside paled in significance and were simply incomparable.

However, the current state of the secret realm was quite depleted. As a result, many Heaven’s Chosen lacked sufficient training before reaching the River of Forgetfulness Temple. This led to even bloodier encounters prior to entering the temple, akin to a survival-of-the-fittest scenario where only those who endured would gain access.

Entering the River of Forgetfulness Temple itself was even more brutal, as it involved numerous trials. Some of these tests were exceptionally arduous and bordering on insane.

In Illusory Moon City, at a local restaurant, Liu Shunyi watched the projected scenes from the secret realm.

Shaking his head, he muttered, “At this rate, how long will it take for these people to even reach that chest!”

Finally, after observing for another half month, a group of disciples managed to approach the treasure chest.

However, their method of opening it astonished Liu Shunyi.

Unlike Chen Qiaoli, who had deciphered the mechanism and effortlessly opened the chest with a simple button press alongside him, these disciples resorted to rituals and blood sacrifices.

Shockingly, over a dozen Heaven’s Chosen combined their efforts, activating a Blood Sacrifice Great Formation.

Wow!

Ultimately, they began draining their own blood. Once enough was sacrificed, the chest finally opened.

Initially united against common challenges, the Heaven’s Chosen instantly erupted into conflict, fighting fiercely over what appeared to be an Immortal Artifact.

Even nearby Cultivators gasped in awe.

“My heavens, it’s actually an Immortal Artifact!”

“Goodness, witnessing an Immortal Artifact in my lifetime leaves me without regrets, even if I were to die now!”

Some hidden powerful rogue cultivators’ eyes glowed red with desire!

The appearance of the Immortal Artifact also stirred the elders of various sects, prompting some Sect Masters themselves to arrive on the scene.

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

Numerous Cultivators rushed towards the commotion.

“This is going to turn chaotic!” Liu Shunyi sensed impending trouble and discreetly slipped away.

As Liu Shunyi distanced himself from the crowd, he couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Just imagine, this single Immortal Artifact has stirred up such bloody chaos! If others knew that my Senior Sister might have obtained one of the supreme treasures of Heaven and Earth, what would happen then?” Liu Shunyi pondered.

He was equally astonished at how Chen Qiaoli managed to evade those trials effortlessly, and with just the two of them, they had casually opened the treasure chest.

“My Senior Sister is truly remarkable!”

Suddenly,

Liu Shunyi spotted someone familiar.

It was Ji Suying!

“She didn’t enter the secret realm!” Liu Shunyi felt puzzled.

Naturally,

He couldn’t risk encountering Ji Suying directly.

However, Ji Suying did notice Liu Shunyi.

She merely smiled at him without acknowledging his presence further, continuing on her way.

Liu Shunyi was left speechless.

“Does this woman have X-ray vision or something? How did she spot me amidst such a crowded sea of people?”

“Or perhaps, are my concealment skills really that poor?”

After some thought,

Liu Shunyi decided to change his appearance once again. With this decision in mind…

Liu Shunyi swiftly entered a nearby alleyway.

Yet, as luck would have it – or rather, quite unluckily…

He encountered familiar faces once again: Shi Changxin and that little crow.

Upon exiting the secret realm earlier, Liu Shunyi had specifically changed his appearance anew.

As a result, neither Shi Changxin nor the crow recognized him.

In fact, they didn’t even notice his cultivation base, leading them to completely ignore him.

However, two voices echoed in Liu Shunyi’s mind:

“Damn it! The River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm is nothing but fucking weeds. Are you sure we raided the right place?”

The crow responded telepathically,

“It was indeed the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm, but someone beat us to it, grabbing everything ahead of time.”

“I don’t care about excuses. If there were truly Heaven and Earth Treasures, taking risks might’ve been worth it.

“But now, with no benefits whatsoever, I could end up dead!”

“Hasn’t the Heavenly God Cult prepared for any contingencies?”

The crow reassured him,

“Don’t worry, members of the Heavenly God Cult have already gathered at Illusory Moon Canyon. I guarantee you won’t die; however, our losses within the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm are substantial!”
