The secret realm has opened!
Someone shouted, and the disciples of the various sects instantly grew restless. They tightly gripped their weapons, their eyes filled with urgency.
Lin Lie of the Burning Heaven Palace was the first who could not hold back. The fiery spiritual energy around him surged, and he was about to rush toward the gateway of light when the Grand Elder grabbed him.
What is the rush? This secret realm has just been discovered for the first time, and we do not know if there is any danger inside yet. Let the others scout the way first!
His gaze swept toward the Demonic Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect. Seeing that Mo Luo and Xue Wushang were also observing, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If the two great demonic sects were not making a move, they did not need to rush either.
Yun Canghai, the Pavilion Master of the Myriad Arts Pavilion, formed a hand seal, shooting a ray of azure light toward the glowing door to test the fluctuations of its restrictions.
Other slightly weaker factions and a crowd of rogue cultivators, seeing the major sects guarding the entrance but not entering, also stopped in their tracks to wait and see.
The bird that sticks its head out gets shot; their own little lives were more important.
Seeing this, Mo Luo of the Demonic Heaven Sect grinned, the skull bracelet in his hand letting out a soft click.
The little brats of Xuan Province are quite cautious. Whether there is danger or not, we will know with a try!
His eyes swept through the crowd and landed on a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator at the end of the Formation Breaking Sect's formation.
Before the cultivator could react, Mo Luo suddenly raised his hand. A streak of black demonic aura flew out like a chain, accurately wrapping around the cultivator's waist.
The cultivator only had time to let out a short scream before being dragged in front of Mo Luo by the demonic aura, lacking even the strength to struggle.
Since no one dares to go, then you go.
Mo Luo's tone was flat, but his hand suddenly exerted force, throwing the cultivator toward the glowing door like a piece of trash.
Wrapped in the black demonic aura, the cultivator traced an arc in the air and crashed heavily into the faint purple glowing door, instantly disappearing from sight.
The entire area fell dead silent.
The expression of Chen Tieshan, the Sect Master of the Formation Breaking Sect, drastically changed. He was just about to angrily rebuke him when he was silenced by Mo Luo's icy glare.
The strength of the Demonic Heaven Sect was on par with the Myriad Arts Pavilion, and their methods were ruthless and tyrannical. He simply could not afford to provoke them.
Cultivators from other factions also held their breath, their eyes fixed on the glowing door, not even daring to breathe loudly, terrified that they would be the next ones thrown inside.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The glowing door continued to emit a soft halo. No killing array erupted, no vicious beasts roared, and not even the scream of the cultivator from just now could be heard.
After another moment, a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy transmitted from behind the glowing door. It was precisely the aura of that Formation Breaking Sect cultivator. Although a bit chaotic, it clearly carried pleasant surprise, and his excited shouts could faintly be heard.
Inside... there are spirit herbs inside! So many high-tier spirit herbs!
Looks like there is no danger.
Mo Luo grinned, revealing a set of ghastly white teeth. The demonic aura around him surged, actually sweeping up over a dozen Demonic Heaven Sect disciples directly and transforming into a black shadow that rushed into the glowing door.
The opportunities of a secret realm are not gained by waiting!
Xue Wushang also hesitated no longer. The blood-colored mist at his fingertips turned into chains, wrapping around the waists of the disciples beside him, and he stepped into the glowing door right behind Mo Luo.
Before leaving, he did not forget to look back and glance at the Great Yan Dynasty's formation, the greed in his eyes completely undisguised.
The spiritual energy fluctuations on those Cave Heaven Realm elders clearly indicated they were hiding quite a few treasures.
Let's go!
Lie Tianxiong gave a low shout, no longer bothering to wait, and led the Burning Heaven Palace's team closely behind.
At the end of the team, three black-robed elders had an unsettlingly steady aura around them. They were clearly Lie Tianxiong's trump cards.
Yun Canghai of the Myriad Arts Pavilion also led his disciples slowly into the glowing door, a streak of azure sword light flashing and disappearing behind the gate.
Shi Wanshan's gaze swept the surroundings, but the figures of Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu were nowhere to be seen.
Just as he was pondering, his attention was suddenly caught by a small black-feathered bird—wasn't that Junior Brother Gu's pet?
He understood in his heart. These two little guys had actually learned to disguise themselves as rogue cultivators to sneak into this place.
They had truly learned their master Gu Changge's set of concealment skills to the fullest.
Shi Wanshan remained impassive and did not step forward to expose them. He simply led the Azure Profound Sect disciples behind him and strode straight into the secret realm's entrance.
The rogue cultivator groups crowded at the edge of the secret realm's entrance. Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu mingled in the crowd, with Little Black huddled on Fang Hanyu's shoulder.
Xiao Ruobai tightly gripped the Dragon Soul Halberd in his hand, his eyes locked onto the Great Yan Dynasty's formation.
Those Cave Heaven Realm elders were protecting the prince, moving slowly toward the glowing door, clearly also wanting to seize the initiative.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to charge forward immediately, and followed Fang Hanyu into the multitude of cultivators, approaching the glowing door step by step.
Sensing his tension, Fang Hanyu quietly nudged him with his elbow and whispered, Don't rush. The terrain inside is complex; there will be plenty of opportunities.
Little Black also rubbed against his shoulder, letting out a low chirp as if agreeing with Fang Hanyu's words.
The moment they stepped into the glowing door, gentle and nourishing ancient spiritual energy enveloped their bodies.
Although this spiritual energy was not as rich and almost tangible as that of Purple Bamboo Peak, it was still far purer than the spirit veins ordinary cultivators in Xuan Province could encounter. When inhaled into the lungs, a comfortable warmth rippled through their meridians.
When the brief wave of dizziness faded, the sight before them still made their eyes light up.
The ground beneath their feet was covered in a layer of pale green spiritual mist. Several century-old spirit herbs grew haphazardly by their feet, and a few stalks of golden-glowing Qi Condensation Fungi were even wedged in the crevices of the rocks.
On the distant hillside, patches of high-tier spirit medicines could faintly be seen, and even the air carried the faint sweet fragrance of spiritual liquid.
Just as everyone recovered from the dizziness, Lie Tianxiong's furious roar rang out from nearby.
Where is my Heavenly Human Realm cultivation base?!
Lie Tianxiong's original Heavenly Human Realm coercion was just about to unfurl when it was forcefully suppressed back into his body by an even stronger power. In the end, only the aura of the peak Purple Mansion Realm remained, and even the flame patterns on his robes dimmed a bit.
What is going on?!
Lie Tianxiong growled, smashing his fist into an ancient tree beside him. The expected shattering of the trunk did not occur; his fist only left a shallow dent on the wood, and the impact made his knuckles numb.
He looked inward at his body in disbelief. The spiritual energy in his dantian felt as if it had been sealed in ice. No matter how hard he tried to circulate it, he could not break through the shackles of the Purple Mansion Realm.
What caused him to break down even more was that the three black-robed elders quickly walked up to him. The leading elder whispered, Palace Master, our King Realm cultivation bases... have also been suppressed to the Purple Mansion Realm.
What?!
Lie Tianxiong's pupils shrank drastically as he stared dead at the three black-robed elders.
These three were Lie Tianxiong's trump cards for this trip. They had once suffered cultivation deviation and had been chained in the dungeon all year round.
Later, Lie Tianxiong had them practice a taboo cultivation technique, the Heaven Burning Incantation.
The trio's cultivation had now broken through to the King Realm, at the cost of heavily reducing their lifespans.
To think that even the King Realm could not escape the suppression now?
Furious, he kicked a stone by his feet, sending it rolling far away.
Damn it all! What kind of rules does this broken secret realm have!
These two chapters today are a bit plain. I deleted and rewrote, rewrote and deleted, and I am not very satisfied with them. Please bear with reading them for now.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king.
