Acai's Sky

Chapter 146: Fragrance Search 5

Ah Cai stood quietly at the entrance of the mysterious and dark realm, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

She knew that this mysterious and dangerous secret realm was about to open, bringing countless opportunities and challenges.

At this moment, many practitioners from the underworld gradually gathered around.

They wore various costumes, representing different sects and forces.

Ah Cai observed these practitioners curiously, trying to understand their identities and backgrounds.

The first thing that caught my eye was a group of people dressed in black, holding long swords. They were the closest to Hulan Village and belonged to the "Netherworld Sword Pavilion" sect. This sect used swords as weapons, specialized in Netherworld Sword Technique, and pursued the ultimate in swordsmanship.

Then, Ah Cai noticed an all-female sect nearby—the "Nine Nether Mysterious Woman Sect." Dressed in gorgeous long dresses, the women exuded a captivating aura of grace and grace. This sect only recruited female disciples, who practiced the Nine Nether Mysterious Woman's methods and emphasized the cultivation of magical skills.

Then, Ah Cai saw a group of figures in black robes. They came from the "Shadow Palace." This sect was adept at using the power of shadows and was proficient in assassination and stealth techniques, which made people wary.

Soon after, the monks of the "Styx Zen Sect" also appeared in the field of vision. They comprehended the power of the Styx, seeking to merge Zen with the power of the netherworld, revealing a profound and mysterious aura.

Later, practitioners from the Dark Spirit Sect appeared. They were skilled in manipulating souls and ghosts, and possessed powerful soul attack abilities that could not be underestimated.

Ah Cai's eyes fell on the group of people in the front. They came from the "Yinming Villa", a villa located on the edge of the Netherworld. The disciples in the villa practiced Yinming techniques and their strength should not be underestimated.

Behind them on the left is the Huangquan Dao Sect, a sect that uses the power of Huangquan as its core practice, dedicated to exploring the principles of life and death. Their unique techniques allow them to harness the power of Huangquan, imbuing them with a mysterious and solemn aura.

To the right and back is Ghost Valley. Disciples of this sect can transform into ghosts, possessing uncanny agility and attacking abilities. They excel at using their ghostly forms to confuse their enemies and deliver devastating blows. Ghost Valley's disciples are swift and elusive.

Standing at the back is the "Earth Demon Sect". The disciples of this sect cultivate the power of the Earth Demon. Their strength is strong and powerful. They are good at using the power of the earth, transforming it into a powerful attack force that makes the enemy unable to resist.

The people of the Pluto Palace all worshipped Pluto, practicing his ways and striving to rule the netherworld. Their presence made the entire scene seem solemn and dignified.

Ah Cai looked at the ten major sects in front of him and felt very uncomfortable.

She found that the people from these sects wore dark-colored clothes, which gave people a depressing feeling.

Especially the female disciples, their bodies were completely exposed, with only a few pieces of cloth covering their bodies, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Most of the male disciples wore masks, some covering their eyes, some covering half of their faces, and some wearing veils, giving people a mysterious atmosphere.

A Cai couldn't help but frown, took out a fan and fanned herself continuously, trying to relieve the discomfort in her heart.

She felt that the clothing and style of these people were too strange, completely different from the world she was familiar with.

However, although she was dissatisfied with the scene before her, she knew that this was the underworld and everything was different from other worlds.

So, she could only endure this discomfort silently and try to adapt to the new environment.

A Cai stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, quietly waiting for the door to the secret realm to open, and did not take the initiative to approach and talk to the ten major sects.

However, the outfit she was wearing - the light green "Han Yu Piao Xue" - made her stand out among the many cultivators wearing dark-colored clothes.

She seemed like a fresh and unworldly flower, blooming in the darkness.

Although Acai did not take the initiative to communicate with others, the monks from other sects had already received instructions.

They knew that this woman named Tong Acai was not from this world, but an adventurer from the outside world.

It was because of the appearance of this adventurer that the netherworld where they were located was able to regain its vitality and be freed from the endless void.

Therefore, although there has been no verbal communication between them, Acai has become a special existence in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in the void began to surge violently, constantly gathering into huge clouds. These clouds quickly condensed in the air and gradually formed a huge portal.

This portal looks mysterious and majestic, as if it leads to another world.

When the portal slowly opened, a thick aura of the netherworld gushed out from it, spreading out in all directions like surging waves.

This dark air brought with it biting cold and endless darkness, making people feel cold all over, as if they were in an ice cellar, extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ah Cai hurriedly took out the "Fire Stone" from her backpack and put it on. As she put on the "Fire Stone", the cold aura on her body was immediately dispelled, replaced by a warm feeling.

However, this dark energy did not dissipate, but continued to spread outward, making the entire sky become extremely dark in an instant, blocking the originally bright light, and the whole world seemed to fall into darkness.

At this time, the great elder of the Nether Sword Pavilion stood up and warned loudly: "Everyone listen carefully! When exploring the secret realm this time, we must prioritize safety. Remember, your life is the most important! Exploration comes second! If you encounter danger, do not hesitate, retreat immediately!" His voice echoed in everyone's ears, making people feel awe.

A Cai looked around curiously and found that the total number of people from various sects and independent cultivators participating in this operation was less than 20,000.

Moreover, this is just an exploration of the secret realm and is far from the stage of real development.

As Ah Cai followed the team to enter the secret realm, an elder from the Jiuyou Xuannv Sect came over.

She said to Acai kindly, "Dear adventurer, this is a jade token for returning. You can return quickly if you are in danger." She handed Acai a crystal clear jade token that emitted a mysterious light.

She continued, "This is a small gift prepared jointly by our ten major sects. Thank you for coming, which has allowed us to break free from the constraints of the void. Please accept this gift. I hope it will be of help to you in your subsequent exploration of the secret realm." After that, she handed over an exquisite storage ring.

Ah Cai quickly shook her head and refused, "I just happened to have unlocked the seal of your Netherworld. I really don't dare to accept such a precious gift."

The female elder smiled gently and said softly, "We old folks have lived for hundreds of years, so we're naturally well aware of the truth. There's no need to refuse; this is our sincere expression of gratitude."

The elder of the Styx Zen sect beside him also smiled and advised: "Young friend, you should accept it. Our Netherworld has experienced death and now sees the light of day again. The future will surely be even better."

The Great Elder of the Shadow Palace also nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Don't worry, accept them. The items selected here are all things you may need. This is just a small token of our appreciation. If there are any instructions in the secret realm, our disciples of all sects will not dare to disobey."

The elders from other sects all looked at Acai with smiles, expressing their approval and support.

Their eyes were full of sincerity and kindness, as if telling Acai not to have any worries.

In the end, Acai had no choice but to accept the gift and express her gratitude.
