The divine bridge in the sky was only a faint one and had yet to fully appear. When the divine bridge fully appeared, it would mean that the door of the secret realm would also open for everyone.
It was said that the more extraordinary a secret realm was, the more real the phenomenon would be, and the bigger the commotion would be. Looking at the current situation, this secret realm must have a rich history, and the sects below had already begun to roll up their sleeves.
“I wonder if this is an ancient secret ground or a cave abode left behind by some powerful being.”
“Compared to individual battles like the sect master competition, this is more like a team battle. It depends on the total contribution points of the entire team.”
Many sects were discussed, and some of their people were more or less filtered out. After all, only those below sky rank level 5 could enter this secret realm.
However, there was one sect that all members could enter, and that was the Tai Qing Sect. This result suddenly made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
Originally, they thought that the Tai Qing Sect’s overall level was the worst. Even their victory in the disciple competition was obtained through trickery and tools. They did not expect the Tai Qing Sect to be so lucky this time.
Other than a few who had the strength of sky rank, everyone else in the Tai Qing Sect was below sky rank, but even so, none of the other sects cared much about it.
“That’s great! This time, all of us will be able to enter. We must strive for our pride!”
The sect next to them immediately showed a disdainful look, “So what if their sect has more people? It’s not as if you can win by relying on numbers in the secret realm. They are still weak.”
“That’s right. I heard that even their sect master disappeared for no reason. Who knows if she was afraid of losing so badly that she deliberately made an excuse and vanished.”
Hearing such slander, the people of the Tai Qing Sect glared at them. Someone said, “How can you say that? Our sect master must have had a reason for doing this!”
“I think she’s more like a coward.”
The people from the Tai Qing Sect still wanted to argue with them, but they were stopped by Ye Xuan.
“Elder Ye, why are you stopping me? This group of people is really too much.”
Ye Xuan’s expression was indifferent. “What’s the use of just talking?”
It was just a light glance, but it made the man who had just ridiculed them feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and his forehead was full of sweat. Ye Xuan was just a mere human rank level 5, but Ye Xuan exerted such great pressure, it felt as though he was being stared at by a behemoth.
He braced himself and said, “Yes! If you have the ability, let’s see who’s stronger in the secret realm.”
After saying this, he left without looking back.
Ye Xuan naturally wanted to take a look at this secret realm and see what mysteries were inside. But at the same time, he didn’t care about the contribution points.
If there was anything good, of course, he would keep it for himself. Only a fool would choose to hand it over.
“Look, there’s a change in the divine bridge.”
With a cry of surprise, everyone’s eyes were drawn to the top.
The divine bridge was brilliant and stretched across the vast sky. Its color deepened bit by bit, and even the surrounding clouds were affected. The thick ink and heavy colors were like a dazzling and mysterious scroll that slowly unfolded in front of everyone’s eyes.
A red-crowned crane came from the east, carrying a faint purple aura in its beak as it hung on the divine bridge. It was as if it was the path that connected the human world to the Nine Heavens. Countless auspicious signs gathered here, and in an instant, heaven and earth became extremely peaceful.
A beam of divine light fell from it, and everyone could faintly hear the sound of celestial music. It resonated for a long time and was endless. An abundance of spiritual energy exploded from it as if they had come to the beginning of the world.
Everyone was bathed in the divine light and felt refreshed. They couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
“What kind of secret realm is this? It’s so magical. Could it be an ancient secret realm that has never been seen before?”
The number of recorded ancient secret realms in the world could be counted with five fingers. Even if it was filled with danger, almost all who entered would die.
Every time it was opened, countless people would rush in, just because there was a huge opportunity inside.
Ye Xuan was also curious about the origin of this secret realm. He felt that the Penglai Immortal Stone in the storage space was inexplicably hot.
The system detected that this stone was a special product of Penglai. Could it be that this secret realm was related to Penglai?
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the seven great sects did not tell everyone the origin of this secret realm, and they did not want Ye Xuan to see through it.
However, in order to verify his guess, he might have to go to the secret realm himself. Just as Ye Xuan was thinking about it, the door behind the divine bridge began to appear. Everyone knew that this was a sign that the secret realm was about to open.
At the same time, they also began to distribute jade pendants to the various sects to record their contribution points. Coincidentally, the ones in charge of distributing the jade pendants were the ones from the Misty Illusory Manor, and they were even the ones who had a grudge against Ye Xuan.
“We’ll definitely get that stone back.”
Because his voice was extremely soft, no one heard him except Ye Xuan.
The people from the Misty Illusory Manor looked at Ye Xuan meaningfully. They would definitely make a move in the secret realm. Ye Xuan looked back fearlessly, not feeling guilty at all.
When the door behind the divine bridge opened, all the strange phenomena returned to normal as if nothing had happened. Only the divine bridge continued to cross the sky.
“The secret realm has been opened. Everyone can go in. But there is one thing I need to make clear. If the jade pendant is hot, it means that the secret realm is about to close. Everyone needs to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are locked inside, we don’t know what will happen to you as well.”
Because this secret realm had suddenly appeared, even the people of the seven great sects were unable to control when the secret realm would close.
However, if they were to be locked inside for ten years or so, they would most likely assimilate with the secret realm. The consequences would be unimaginable, so no one dared to take it lightly.
Everyone swarmed forward, including those from the Heaven Sect, Dao Seeking Sect, and Infinity Sect.
The rest of them were all sky rank level 5 and above, so they were all left behind. Looking at their backs, they couldn’t help but show envy.
