578 Shortcut to Enter the Secret Realm 578 Shortcut to Enter the Secret Realm “This path can also lead to the Secret Realm.” “But along the way, there are various formidable restrictions and mechanisms.” “Back then, the Tiger Demon Emperor and I put in great effort to get through.” “That old bull-nosed Taoist can’t break through in just a few days.”
The Evil Spirit sneered.
Jiang Fan thought to himself, as expected, there were indeed hidden secrets. “Where is the other path?”
The Evil Spirit recalled, “Have you seen a Buddha facing east, with half its head missing?”
Jiang Fan looked around.
He really did find such a Buddha.
He didn’t say anything.
Instead, he gestured toward the Dragon Binding Chain on his body to Concubine Yunxia, “How long do you plan to keep me tied up?” “I can’t possibly go in like this, can I?”
Concubine Yunxia was looking down worriedly.
She nodded slightly upon hearing this.
She pulled the chain and led Jiang Fan to a stone pillar that extended straight into the ground.
Then she firmly tied the other end of the chain to the stone pillar. “What do you mean? Do you think I’m cattle or a horse? You’re tying me to this?” Jiang Fan was taken aback.
Concubine Yunxia chuckled and rolled her eyes at him. “Who said I was taking you down with me?” “Stay here obediently and wait for me to come back.”
With that, she hurriedly went underground with Chun Ni.
Leaving Jiang Fan alone, tied to the stone pillar, he cursed her a few times. “That damned woman!”
Jiang Fan was both amused and annoyed, “She has a hundred tricks up her sleeve.”
The Evil Spirit frowned deeply. “Kid, you’re in trouble now.” “This chain can’t be broken even by a Nascent Soul.”
Even if he could break the stone pillar to move freely,
Jiang Fan’s hands and feet were bound, he couldn’t enter the Secret Realm this way, could he?
It was still quite dangerous inside.
Being unable to move freely was as good as losing half his life.
Jiang Fan smiled mysteriously and reached into his hair ornament.
He pulled out a key.
He inserted it into the lock and twisted.
The chain opened.
The Evil Spirit’s eyes widened, “Wait!” “Didn’t that woman take the key?”
Jiang Fan put the chains into the Heavenly Thunder Stone and flexed his hands and feet, which were a bit numb from being bound.
He casually replied, “Yes, I gave it to her.” “But I didn’t give her the true key.”
Huh?
The Evil Spirit was confused, “Then what key did you give her?” “The key to my house in the Green Cloud Sect.” Jiang Fan shrugged, “Anyway, she had never seen the Dragon Binding Chain key up close.” “She wouldn’t recognize it if I gave her my house key instead.”
As it turned out, before he was to be bound, Jiang Fan had thought to himself.
He hid both the Dragon Binding Chain key and his house key in his hair.
Getting a counterfeit key, Concubine Yunxia dropped her guard significantly.
She didn’t continue to check Jiang Fan’s hair.
She had no idea that the true key was always in Jiang Fan’s hands.
The Evil Spirit was dumbfounded: “Kid, you’re too cunning!” “One could play tricks like this?”
Even as a former Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, he was awestruck by Jiang Fan’s cleverness.
He had thought Concubine Yunxia had a hundred tricks up her sleeve.
But Jiang Fan himself had eight hundred tricks! “Alright, we should set off now.”
He came to the east-facing Buddha with half its head missing.
This was the only Buddha statue still standing in the temple.
After circling around it, he suddenly saw the words “Good Buddha” at the base.
He remembered the words “Good Buddha” from the adage.
It seemed the Evil Spirit was not deceiving him.
This was indeed the true passage to the Secret Realm.
After thinking for a moment, he used his strength to try to push the Buddha.
Rumble—
As the Buddha moved, a man-sized hole hidden beneath its base came into view. “Kid, hurry inside, lots of treasures await us,” the Evil Spirit excitedly urged.
Jiang Fan did not rush in.
Instead, he bit into a Copper Coin, hung the Jade Bone Necklace around his neck, and donned the Turtle Breath Cloak.
