Chapter 234 The Intentions of the Ancient Aristocratic Family
It seems that we knew very little about Gu Xuan before, and the information released by the three ancient families may only be the tip of the iceberg.
After pondering for a moment, Kongming tentatively asked, "I wonder what level that Demon Rakshasa's cultivation has reached now?"
Liu Mengli shook her head slightly and slowly said, "There is no definite record of the specific cultivation level of the Demon Rakshasa. However, please rest assured, Mr. Zhuge, the Demon Rakshasa has been in a deep slumber for many years. As long as she is not disturbed, with the strength of the three of you, you can definitely handle her!"
Listening to Liu Mengli's description, Kongming felt a sense of unease. He asked calmly, "Miss Liu, from what you've said, you seem to know quite a bit about Rakshasa Sea City. I wonder how many times this secret realm has been opened in the past ten thousand years?"
Liu Mengli smiled gently, her expression seemingly calm, and slowly said, "This Rakshasa Sea City opens once every thousand years, and the location changes each time. In the past ten thousand years, it has only opened about ten times! My Liu family ancestors also entered it, which is why the Liu family exists today!"
Kongming nodded slightly, pondering to himself that the Liu family ancestors were able to develop to their current state by entering Rakshasa Sea City, which showed how abundant the opportunities were in this secret realm.
However, Liu Mengli seemed to deliberately downplay the danger in her words and kept trying to entice him, but Kongming didn't care.
He was determined to venture into Rakshasa City; his purpose was simply to learn more about it.
After all, ordinary cultivators are not qualified to participate in a secret realm of this level, otherwise why would there be so little information about this secret realm in the cultivation world?
It is estimated that the three ancient families have already deduced that a major change may occur within the secret realm, but they urgently need the opportunity within it, so they announced the news of this secret realm. Their intentions are unknown!
Kongming sneered inwardly; these ancient aristocratic families were certainly shrewd in their calculations.
He looked at Liu Mengli and continued, "Miss Liu, how many disciples will the three ancient aristocratic families send to participate?"
Liu Mengli gently brushed the strands of hair from her forehead, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly said, "Each of the three families will send five hundred disciples in. In addition, the number of rogue cultivators recruited by the three great families is countless. Furthermore..."
"And what?"
Kongming stared intently at Liu Mengli, and seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but press her for an answer.
Liu Mengli hesitated, as if weighing the pros and cons, before finally speaking: "To be honest, the three ancient families have all used secret treasures to gain more benefits in Rakshasa Sea City. These secret treasures are extremely special and can conceal the aura of Nascent Soul cultivators, so... it is very likely that some Nascent Soul cultivators have infiltrated them."
Upon hearing this, Kongming was suddenly startled.
He had originally thought that, according to the rules of Rakshasa Sea City, only Golden Core cultivators were allowed to enter. But now, the situation undoubtedly made it more difficult to move around freely inside.
Kongming instantly understood that the ancient aristocratic family sending a Nascent Soul expert to infiltrate was a double-edged sword.
Firstly, Nascent Soul cultivators possess superior strength, giving them a greater advantage in vying for the hidden opportunities in Rakshasa Sea City. Secondly, the deterrent power of Nascent Soul experts against the vast number of rogue cultivators is self-evident. After all, tempted by the enormous profits of Rakshasa Sea City, it's hard to guarantee that these rogue cultivators won't act recklessly out of greed.
According to common sense, once a secret realm senses the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it will trigger some mechanism to forcibly eliminate them.
However, the three ancient families have a long history and profound heritage, and no one can be sure how many unknown methods and treasures they still have hidden. Perhaps by paying some price, they can barely circumvent this rule.
Having learned enough, Kongming stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Liu Mengli, and said, "Thank you, Miss Liu, for sharing this crucial information. I am deeply grateful."
Liu Mengli smiled slightly, revealing a perfectly timed smile, and gracefully returned the greeting, saying, "Mr. Zhuge, you are too kind. If you are able to successfully return from Rakshasa City unscathed, I will certainly introduce you to the Sima family. With your abilities, once you join the Sima family, your future will be limitless!"
Upon hearing this, Kongming couldn't help but sneer inwardly. After seeing Liu Mengli off, he quickly entered the secret chamber and, based on his own strengths and weaknesses, deduced the various situations he would face within the secret realm...
