Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 932 - 38: The Secret Realm Opens_2

After some time, the most outstanding among them would represent the entire Gray Domain and participate in the grand event that encompassed the greatest fortune of the upper realms throughout history, with an exceptionally profound influence—the grand battle of the Ten Thousand Tribes across the three thousand six hundred domains!

Of course, before that, this group of young warriors would engage in a heated contest during this grand gathering to determine the foremost of the Gray Domain’s younger generation and see who could reach the pinnacle of the domain!

"Fight!"

At this moment, everyone involved in these trials, regardless of who they were, felt their blood boiling with excitement, including Gu Yan and others without exception.

Subsequently, the first group of people to enter the Cave Heaven blessed land, the secret realm, were the exceptional young talents of their generation, like Gu Yan, as well as members of the Tiankui Clan, Blood Orchid Clan, Soaring Snake Clan, and the Jiuying Clan.

However, before entering the glowing portal, each of these young elites was given a protective talisman by their senior sect members to carry with them.

"What is that?" many people asked with furrowed brows, puzzled.

Someone nearby spoke up to explain, "When forces like the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty discovered this minor thousand-world, they also found these protective talismans. You can consider them as keys to enter and exit this secret realm. With these talismans, if one is seriously injured inside, they can instantaneously escape."

"The Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and other powers suspect that this is very likely the work of a top-tier force from a previous great era, who prepared these protective talismans as a means for their disciples to train. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have readied these talismans, and moreover, the rules within allow only cultivators below the Cave Heaven Realm to enter."

"I see," the crowd said, enlightened.

That is the advantage of having the backing of powerful factions. Many were envious, yet there was nothing they could do about it.

Even beyond the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the sacred places, other factions such as the myriad emblem sects and the Red Cloud Sect, which were close to the power of sacred lands, had also paid a hefty price to buy a few protective talismans from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty to distribute to their disciples.

Hearing this, some sighed and said, "Would the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and other powers still allow those geniuses to enter without these protective talismans?"

The answer to this question was unquestionably no. Any newly emerged Cave Heaven blessed land, while containing immense fortune, also posed great danger. The Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, as well as those sacred lands, would not just send their sons and daughters in without any life-saving means.

At that moment, high above in the sky, Gu Yan, the Ninth Prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, led several attendants and was the first to enter.

Following them were the great hidden sects, such as the spiritual path mountain, as well as the four major foreign tribes: the Tiankui Clan, Blood Orchid Clan, Soaring Snake Clan, and Jiuying Clan.

After that, sacred places like the Vault of Sky Sword Sect and Mount Tianzhu, as well as some powerful foreign tribes, entered.

Soon after, well-known great factions like the Xuan Yi Sect and the Red Cloud Sect, which were only second to the sacred places in power, also made their way in.

From the order of entry, one could deduce many things. Individuals like Gu Chen, who were solitary cultivators without any backing, and those who had passed the selection but lacked significant background, could only wait to enter last.

Among the crowd, Ling Fei and Liao Yun were also present. They both had passed the selection, but the Xuan Yi Sect, though considered a great faction in Meteor State, was quite unremarkable when viewed across the entire Gray Domain, especially in comparison to nearly sacred land-level powers like the Xuan Yi Sect or the Red Cloud Sect.

Therefore, factions comparable to or even less significant than the Xuan Yi Sect could only follow along with the last major group to enter.

Gu Chen walked among the crowd, paying particular attention to the location of the Da Xia Human Emperor, who was not far ahead of him.

Soon, everyone reached the top and came to the glowing portal. Gu Chen gazed into it, feeling the pulses of secret power coming from within, which were extraordinarily remarkable.

"Enter!"

A Great Power commanded, and in this place, no one dared to dally, all rushing towards the inside.

Compared to the first group that included Gu Yan and others, they were already behind. Being the first to enter meant being the first to search for resources and fortune. For an undeveloped Cave Heaven blessed land, this was the greatest advantage!

Humm!

In an instant, as they walked through the portal and space twisted, the light changed around them, and after a brief disorientation of their senses, when their vision cleared, Gu Chen had arrived in a new world.

"Random teleportation?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Chen was slightly startled. Many who had entered with him were gone, leaving fewer than fifty people who appeared together in a lush green valley.

"Well, this trial will last a while, and we’re all in it together, there’s bound to be a chance to meet," Gu Chen thought to himself, preparing to seek out Da Xia’s Human Emperor given the opportunity.

In the same region and among the countless people who revered the legendary figure of the Human Emperor of Da Xia, Gu Chen desired to have a conversation with him. Of course, he wouldn’t reveal his identity, and secondly, if the other party needed help, Gu Chen wouldn’t be stingy.

"What rich Heavenly Earth Essence Qi!"

Many people were delighted, as the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi in this minor world was definitely comparable to some protected spiritual lands with grand formations for gathering essence.

Meanwhile, in the valley, apart from the luminescent, lush green grass, there were also many towering trees, extremely robust and requiring a dozen people to wrap their arms around them.

"The place of my rise, is right here!" After arriving smoothly, some young people were so excited that they trembled all over.

There was no sun here, but the firmament still did shine bright, with no difference from the daytime outside.

"We must hurry and seek out the fortunes of this place before others do!" Some thought this way and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, everyone was alert, for after arriving at this place, unless they were from the same sect, everyone was a competitor!

Even those from the same sect might kill each other over a treasure of heaven and earth, let alone strangers.

So, under the watchful eyes of one another, dozens of people dispersed, heading in all directions.

After contemplating for a moment, Gu Chen chose the eastern direction and headed deeper.

Along the way, a few people chose the same direction as him. Seeing him, they immediately tensed up, constantly looking back every few steps, guarding against one another, fearing a sneak attack.

Gu Chen looked calm and silent, calmly taking his steps.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, amidst a patch of grass, streaks of rosy light flickered, and someone with quick eyes and hands swiftly dug it out.

"Jade Snake Orchid?!"

The other four people’s faces shook, their pupils dilated, and greed surged within them.

The Jade Snake Orchid could help a martial artist add decades of cultivation, and although it wasn’t considered a treasure of heaven and earth, in the martial arts world, it was still a rare and spiritual medicine.

"Give it to me!"

In an instant, a brawl began, with the remaining four people making a move to seize the Jade Snake Orchid from the martial artist who had found it first.

"Shameless!"

After a cry of anger, the martial artist who discovered the Jade Snake Orchid ultimately couldn’t withstand the strength in numbers, his rage futile in face of the power disparity.

"The Jade Snake Orchid is mine now!" One of the stronger martial artists, about to seize the orchid, suddenly had an ecstatic and excited expression.

Splat!

But in the very next instant, a palm strike came flying in, landing on his head, splattering grey matter and blood; his headless body fell into a pool of blood with a thud.

Hiss!

This sudden attack shocked the remaining four people.

At the same time, several figures in red robes emerged from the shadows and slowly walked this way, their faces donning a hint of coldness.

Seeing this group, Gu Chen’s eyes shifted slightly; it truly was a small world, running into his "old acquaintances" — the Red Cloud Sect!
