The barren mountain beneath his feet was approximately two square miles in area, with the peak spanning at most about four acres.
Yet, when they actually reached the summit, the view before them broadened.
There lay a valley enveloped in mist and clouds.
The width of this valley was at least ten miles or more, its length unknown.
Chu Xisheng could not see the end of the valley with just one glance.
He could only faintly discern the valley’s complex inner terrain, concealing so splendid palatial buildings.
They were hidden within the clouds, difficult to distinguish clearly.
Chu Xisheng’s pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.
Was this the Ninth Grade secret realm created by the Divine Turtle Wanderer?
A dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, a First Grade Master, could possess such divine power?
To forcefully create a void of at least ten square miles in this world, and to maintain it for thousands of years!
This was simply a feat akin to those of the immortals.
It seems that the high-grade martial cultivators of this world are much more powerful than he had imagined.
The books say their power could move mountains and seas, pick stars and moons.
Chu Xisheng had thought those were re exaggerations, but they were absolutely true.
He had always used Chu Yunyun as a standard to judge this world;
But now, it seed that the divine power Chu Yunyun lost after losing her True Yuan was much greater than he had imagined.
The entrance to the valley was shielded by an invisible barrier.
Upon reaching this place, everyone was unable to proceed any further.
The over two thousand people who had arrived consecutively chose spots to group together, in clusters of thirty to fifty, keeping a clear boundary between each group, and were wary of each other.
The Coastal Zhou Family had a comparatively larger number of people, amounting to seventy.
Yet they were also the target of many, with various gazes, intentional or not, directed at Chu Xisheng—so cold, so curious, so wary, and so undisguisedly murderous.
Zhou Xiangshan was on high alert, holding a sword in his hand, staying close beside Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng noticed that the word “Vengeance” in the ethereal screen had turned a deep red color.
—Your “Vengeful Blade Intent” has been upgraded to high intensity!
He felt a bit nervous, with goose bumps all over his body.
Yet, Chu Xisheng maintained a composed appearance, his deanor cold and arrogant.
At this point, other than going all the way with his act, he had no other options.
Just then, a group of people, either riding magic artifacts or flying on swords, crossed the sky and landed at the front of the valley.
There were more than fifty individuals in total, n and won of varying heights, but all of them possessed an extraordinary bearing—be it dignified, unruly, calm, or domineering, they all carried themselves with an imposing presence.
Among them, a man and a woman, both around forty, turned their heads to look towards the Coastal Zhou Family.
Their gaze soon locked onto Chu Xisheng, and they nodded and greeted him with a smile.
“That is our family head, ‘Three Finger Divine’ Zhou Xiongba, and his wife, Du Lingxian.”
Zhou Xiangshan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
After the arrival of Zhou Xiongba and his wife, he felt confident in ensuring Chu Xisheng’s safety before entering the Ninth Grade secret realm.
He chuckled as he introduced to Chu Xisheng, “On the left side of our family head, looking like a zombie, is the elder ‘Shi Jiuming’ from the Corpse Mountain Sect; to his left is Lu Zhe, the family head of the Coastal Lu Family, wearing a green hat; and there is the Sea Salt Gang leader ‘White Eyebrow Saber’ Ying Feilong, whose family, for so reason, all have white eyebrows;”
“The sword-bearing woman on the right side cos from the Shuiyun Palace.
Her surna is Zhou, and her na is Xia, known by the title ‘Pearl Immortal.’ The Shuiyun Palace is in the pearl business, hence this fairy is adorned in splendor; people from Xiushui County have also co, including the one on the far left, One-Ard Blade Li Cang.
Speaking of which, this man has close ties with the Long Family and is one of their allies—”
At this mont, Zhou Xiongba looked extrely pleased as he shifted his gaze from Chu Xisheng’s body and turned towards the valley in front.
It was his first ti seeing Chu Xisheng, and he was extrely impressed.
Although his Nourishing Essence Skill had just entered the third layer, his Divine Thought and Spiritual Sense were exceptionally strong, surpassing several of the Qingyun’s geniuses present.
His enveloping Sword Intent was so fierce and dominant that it could not be concealed.
He stood out among the crowd, like a torch amidst a swarm of fireflies.
“Is that Chu Xisheng?”
At this mont, Lu Zhe, the family head of the Coastal Lu Family, was also looking at Chu Xisheng, his face brimming with a smile, “Brother Zhou is truly lucky!
With this man here, this Ninth Grade secret realm must already be in Brother Zhou’s pocket.”
He had heard about the incident in the inn’s lobby the night before.
At first, Lu Zhe couldn’t believe that there was a Ninth Grade who could defeat Zhou Liangchen with a single blade.
But having seen Chu Xisheng with his own eyes today, he knew it was not without foundation.
This made him feel terrible.
He initially thought that the Coastal Zhou Family would have a hard ti making any significant achievents in this secret realm competition.
Unexpectedly, the Zhou Family had brought such a big fish from the neighboring Xiushui County.
—Compared to the many Ninth Grade martial practitioners here, this man was like a giant shark leaping into a pond, difficult to control.
Standing next to Zhou Xiong Ba, Du Lingxian imdiately narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and cursed silently, ‘Smiling Tiger.’
This bastard clearly wanted to stir up everyone’s fear of Chu Xisheng with his words.
Chu Xisheng was indeed outstanding, but once he was targeted by all parties and attacked collectively, even if his combat power was unparalleled, he would still be forced out.
If anyone were to be blad, it could only be her beloved son.
If she had been in the inn’s lobby last night, she would have sealed Zhou Liangchen’s mouth first.
This competition for the secret realm, which was almost a sure win, turned volatile because of Zhou Liangchen’s remarks.
“Brother Lu is joking.”
Zhou Xiong Ba kept his composure and shook his head in disagreent, “The strength of Ninth Grade martial practitioners is limited; no matter how strong, it’s only against a hundred n, and no one has the ability to sweep through invincibly.
Moreover, today’s participants in the secret realm competition are also full of talents, like ‘Silver Patterned Tiger’ Lu Chen, ‘White Eyebrow Tiger’ Ying Haobai, ‘Corpse Dog’ Li Manshan, ‘Shadowless Sword’ Zhuo Baiyun, each of whom is a true genius among the Ninth Grades, capable of matching a hundred n.
Any of them has the hope of erging as the leader.”
The people present all listened silently, not uttering a word.
The words of ‘Three Finger Divine’ made it clear; he was reminding all sides that if they tead up against Chu Xisheng in the secret realm, they would only be benefiting these few families.
Zhou Xiong Ba continued with a smile, “Besides, Divine Turtle Wanderer set up many challenges to pass on his teachings in the secret realm; our friend Chu here, strong as he is, may not necessarily be the disciple Divine Turtle Wanderer favors.”
He then looked aningfully at Lu Zhe, “So I told our little friend Chu, losing this ti doesn’t matter; it’s just not our destiny.
He doesn’t need to care about winning or losing in the secret realm, he just needs to follow his heart, eye for an eye!”
Whoever dares to initiate, they will be eliminated together.
Lu Zhe felt his skin sting as if cut by the knife-sharp gaze of Zhou Xiong Ba.
Yet his face showed no unusual color, and his smile was easy-going, “Brother Zhou is generous, I admire that—”
Just then, an official in a red robe in front of them waved one hand and unfurled a scroll.
“The opening of the Ninth Grade secret realm is imminent; everyone, co and make a Life and Death Contract.
Inside the secret realm, there lie great dangers; after everyone enters, life and death, victories and defeats are all subject to Heaven’s Will, and all disputes and grudges must be confined within the secret realm, no pursuing them outside.”
The scroll was in a golden-red color, and once unfurled, it even floated in the air, emanating a faint golden glow.
