Chapter 850: Chapter 391: Secret Realm Opens, All Factions Arrive

"The Secret Realm is opening; we should be on our way. The Great Elder and Mr. Lu are waiting."

In Sea Abyss City, countless cultivators were staring wide-eyed at the figures in the sky, transforming into escape lights the next moment, heading toward the Outer Sea.

This scene filled many cultivators with envy, some turning green with jealousy.

"The first Secret Realm of the Demon Beast Abyss has opened; I truly envy those cultivators."

"Damn, one day I will also reach Core Formation."

"What are you thinking? Do you believe Core Formation is so easy?"

There were quite a few aging Core Formation or Fake Pill cultivators, shaking their heads and sighing:

"Alas, how many cultivators will fall this time, I wonder."

"I hope there won’t be too much turmoil; our family cannot bear the burden..."

Some Core Formation cultivators with budding families were also worried about the future.

Lin Chang’an and his group were already following behind the Sixth Elder, heading toward the Outer Sea.

...

A little more than a month later, the previously vast and empty sea area of the Outer Sea suddenly became lively.

From time to time, three or five escape lights would streak by. Even sworn enemies who might normally start a big fight acted as if they didn’t see each other on this day.

"This is the Secret Realm!"

Amidst the flickering escape lights, Lin Chang’an arrived here and couldn’t help but gaze blankly, staring at the distant sea.

The spiritual energy in the heavens and earth boiled, emitting a low, deep hum. The seemingly boundless sea was shrouded by ancient, thick clouds for countless ages.

The clouds churned, as if forcefully parted by an invisible giant power, gradually revealing the unimaginable silhouette of a majestic celestial mountain.

At the moment the celestial mountain was revealed, brilliant rays of light flickered, dyeing the remaining clouds with a resplendent hue of purple-gold.

"Finally arrived!"

The cultivators present stared in shock at the scene.

However, as some flew closer and as some low-tier cultivators came eagerly, they suddenly felt a piercing pressure descending upon them.

"My mana!"

"Help, senior!"

Many greedy cultivators instantly awakened, and in the next moment, like mortals deprived of mana, they fell into the water, crying out for help.

This sudden shift left many stunned, but the leading Nascent Soul Sixth Elder smirked mockingly after witnessing it.

"A group of fools mesmerized by greed; did you think this Secret Realm was so easily accessible?"

Lin Chang’an, of course, could feel the pressure and couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

"This pressure is evidently from the restrictions within the Secret Realm, and it can extend so far beyond the Secret Realm."

Cultivators below Golden Core, upon arriving here, are affected by the restrictions, finding their spiritual power hindered, their hearts pounding nervously.

This scene was the result.

"Master!"

As everyone continued forward, what unfolded before their eyes was where the brilliant light converged—at the foot of the celestial mountain.

There, the void twisted, and an enormous, imposing gateway slowly solidified from an illusion.

A sky-piercing giant gate came into view, with pillars resembling ancient jade, covered with countless inexplicably profound runes, flickering with blinding spiritual light.

Three enormous ancient characters were faintly visible atop the gate, but they were marred by massive scars, making it impossible to discern the true script.

Even so, the attending Core Formation cultivators felt a sharp pain in their eyes at a glance, their divine souls swaying, as if containing the profound principles of heaven and earth.

"This is..."

Lin Chang’an felt a moment of disorientation in his divine sense before quickly snapping back, hurriedly lowering his head, not daring to look again.

However, the Sword Servant beside him realized a beat slower, yet seemed to grasp something, and whispered in secret:

"Master, there’s something odd about those broken characters; I seem to have comprehended something."

Listening to the Sword Servant’s transmission, Lin Chang’an was speechless. Could the Sword Servant’s comprehension truly be that high?

He hadn’t comprehended anything, yet the Sword Servant had insights.

"Haha, Sixth Elder’s speed is indeed fast, even with so many in tow, arriving before this old man."

At this moment, a teasing voice sounded.

The Sixth Elder glanced back, couldn’t help but smile.

"Mr. Lu, you do know how to joke. I heard that even the old demon of Xuan Yin suffered a loss at your place previously."

A stream of light flashed, revealing True Monarch Lu dressed in a light cyan scholar’s robe, wearing a high crown. His scholar-like appearance seemed refined and cultured.

"Oh dear, this old frame can’t handle your flattery."

Unexpectedly, the Nascent Soul cultivator True Monarch Lu acted rather naturally, smiling broadly as he waved his hand.

Looking at True Monarch Lu’s slender build, and seeing his grayish-white long brows, he seemed like a gentle, talkative sage.

The Sixth Elder inwardly cursed with annoyance, "Old fox, were it not for knowing your depth, I would almost be deceived by you."

"Oh dear, isn’t this young Lin? I heard about your reincarnation cultivation, and it truly was a miss, or I’d have taken you as a disciple."

Unexpectedly, True Monarch Lu turned his gaze toward Lin Chang’an, his eyes gleaming with spiritual light, as if wishing to discern something.

When Lin Chang’an found the spotlight on him, he took a deep breath and respectfully greeted:

"Greetings, Senior Lu."

The others followed with cupped hands in salute, yet True Monarch Lu remained casual.

In the crowd, Lin Chang’an let out a silent sigh, thinking it best to stay away from True Monarch Lu, wondering what calculations he might have.
