"Clan leader, Duan Lingtian and that woman have entered the grade-two secret realm … I think they're going to enter the grade-two secret realm."
As soon as Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er entered the safe zone, Zhang Yun Ting's son, who was killed by Duan Ling Tian and Huan' er, noticed them and immediately sent a message back to the Phantom Fox Clan.
"Envoy."
Zhang Dong Nan immediately sent a message to Zhang Jin Yi who was resting in the Phantom Fox Clan's estate to inform him that Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er had entered the upper realm of the Phantom Fox Clan.
"The grade-two secret realm?"
This was Zhang Jin Yi's first time in the Southern Heaven Territory so he did not know much about the upper realm.
"Envoy, the scoreboard in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm will be refreshed every year. Before the scoreboard is refreshed, the top 100 people will be sent to the three secret realms. They are respectively the grade-one, grade-two, and grade-three secret realms. "
Zhang Dong Nan explained, "If you enter the upper realm now, your Identity Jade Token will send you to a location where you'll meet up with the other nine participants when the scoreboard resets tomorrow."
Since Zhang Jin Yi was ranked in the top 10, he was allowed to enter the grade-one secret realm.
"Will I be able to meet the woman who's suspected to be a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox in the grade-one secret realm?"
Zhang Jin Yi asked.
"No." Zhang Dong Nan replied.
"The grade-one secret realm and the grade-two secret realm are separated … That woman and Duan Lingtian are allowed to enter the grade-two secret realm. You won't be able to meet them."
"If that's the case, I'm not interested in entering the upper realm … I'll enter the upper realm with a fake name the next time the upper realm opens and enter the same secret realm as them.
Zhang Jin Yi was not interested in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. In fact, he was not interested in the treasures in the secret realms.
To him, the Southern Heaven Territory was just a small place in the countryside. He had obtained treasures even before he became a Celestial King.
An ordinary Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?
When he had just become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, the clan had given him a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.
A purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?
He had obtained one when he had just become a Celestial Duke.
As for Immortal Pills, Immortal Talismans, and the like, he had no lack of them.
Moreover, he even possessed a Celestial Talisman that would allow him to escape from a titled Celestial Lord!
"Lord Envoy, I have a suggestion … While the scoreboard in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm is being reset, we should kill a sectless cultivator who's always ranked at the top of the scoreboard."
After the scoreboard is reset, you can use his name to obtain points in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Try your best to maintain your ranking as high as Duan Lingtian and Duan Lingtian so you can enter the secret realm with them a year later. "
"After all, if you were to use your own name to enter, it would be too conspicuous … Also, it wouldn't be safe to use a random name. After all, no one would know who you are, and Duan Lingtian and Duan Lingtian would inevitably become suspicious."
Zhang Dongnan voiced his concerns.
"Alright, we'll do as you say."
Perhaps it was because he had suffered a loss the previous time, but this time, Zhang Jin Yi agreed without hesitation. "However, I'm not familiar with the sectless cultivators … I'll leave the matter of finding and killing the sectless cultivators to you."
"As long as you agree, I'll take care of the rest."
Zhang Dong Nan sighed in relief when he saw Zhang Jin Yi had agreed to his suggestion. He was worried Zhang Jin Yi would be stubborn.
Fortunately, Zhang Jin Yi was willing to listen to his advice.
…
In the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er had been in the upper realm for a day. The scoreboard would be reset in an hour.
Currently, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were standing at the edge of the safe zone. No one dared to provoke them.
After all, everyone knew Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were very strong. One of them was ranked 11th while the other was ranked 15th.
In other words, they were not weak at all.
In the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, there were very few people who were stronger than them.
"That person …"
Duan Lingtian looked at the corner of the safe zone and saw a person looking at him and Huan 'er from time to time.
Duan Lingtian recognized the person.
In fact, this was the third time they had met. Furthermore, they were all in the safe zone.
"Huan 'er … Is that person from the Phantom Fox Clan?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
Although Duan Ling Tian could sense Zhang Yun Ting's aura was similar to the Phantom Fox Clan's Zhang Yun Ting, he did not expect Zhang Yun Ting to be so strong.
However, he was not certain.
As a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox from the Phantom Fox Clan, Huan 'er would be able to tell if the person was from the Phantom Fox Clan.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Huan 'er's eyes followed Duan Lingtian's gaze. When Duan Lingtian looked away, Huan' er's Divine Consciousness had already landed on Duan Lingtian.
"Brother Ling Tian, he's from the Phantom Fox Clan."
Huan 'er was certain Duan Lingtian was from the Phantom Fox Clan.
"As expected."
Duan Lingtian smiled. "I was wondering why Zhang Dong Nan, the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan, has such a keen sense of smell. As it turns out, he has a spy here."
Naturally, Duan Lingtian did not do anything to Zhang Dong Nan even though he knew Zhang Dong Nan was a spy.
Moreover, no one was allowed to make a move in the safe zone.
It didn't take long for an hour to pass.
Meanwhile, the scoreboard in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm froze for about 15 minutes before it returned to zero.
Apart from the safe zones, those who were in the top 100 in the previous year's scoreboard were sent away as well.
They were divided into three groups and sent to three different places.
One of the groups consisted of those who were in the top ten. They were sent to a spacious cave. However, there were only nine of them in the group.
"Why are there only nine people? Where's the other one? "
The nine people looked at each other in confusion when they realized they were new to each other.
"Zhang Jin Yi … He didn't come in."
It did not take long for someone to confirm this.
"That Zhang Jinyi, I don't know where he came from … even Ta Ku of the Bodhi Zen Sect died at his hands."
A middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe sighed.
"Tuo Ye, Tuo Ku is your senior brother … Did he send a message back to the Bodhi Zen Sect before he was killed by Zhang Jin Yi?"
A handsome young man wearing a white robe with a folding fan in his hand asked a young monk wearing a black and white cassock. He had an elegant demeanor and was extraordinarily handsome.
The white-clad young man was none other than Yan Ru Yu, the true disciple of the Tao Scholar Profound Sect.
He was also the first on the scoreboard in the previous year.
He was the one who broke the legend of Tang Ping Shan, the peerless prodigy of the 10,000 Battles Heaven Sect, and became the new peerless prodigy in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
If Yan Ru Yu could maintain his status, he would become a legend as well.
"Senior Tuo Ku didn't manage to send a message before he died."
The young monk called Tuo Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly. "If Senior Tuo Ku had time to send a message, he would've crushed his Identity Jade Token and fled.
"Come to think of it, even he did not expect that he would be killed."
Upon hearing Tuo Ye's words, realization dawned on Yan Ru Yu.
"Yan Ru Yu, you're the strongest among us now … If Zhang Jin Yi was in front of you, would you be able to eliminate him?"
A handsome young man asked as he looked at Yan Ru Yu with a smile.
Based on the young man's words, it was clear he was very close to Yan Ru Yu.
He was none other than Ouyang Yu Hao, the son of the Sect Leader of the Hundred Flowers Celestial Sect. He was one of the few male disciples in the Hundred Flowers Celestial Sect. He was also a true disciple of the Hundred Flowers Celestial Sect.
Beside him, a woman was holding his hand. The woman was beautiful and had a graceful figure. Standing in the middle of a group of men, she was like a crane among a flock of chickens.
She was none other than Ouyang Yu Wei, the former most beautiful woman in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. She was also a true disciple of the Hundred Flowers Celestial Sect.
She and Ouyang Yu Hao were fraternal twins. She was the younger sister while Ouyang Yu Hao was the older brother.
However, the two of them did not have much in common. Ouyang Yuwei looked delicate while Ouyang Yuhao looked masculine.
"I'm not confident."
Yan Ru Yu waved the fan in his hand and shook his head. "At the very least, I won't be able to kill Tuo Ku even if I defeat him!"
"Indeed."
The others agreed with Yan Ru Yu's words. "Tuo Ku's defense is the strongest in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Most of us might be able to defeat him, but we won't be able to kill him."
"I wonder where Zhang Jin Yi came from … Why is he so strong?"
More and more people were puzzled by Yan Ru Yu's words.
After talking about Zhang Jin Yi for a while, the crowd gradually changed the topic.
In the end, a tall and burly young man looked at Ouyang Yu Wei and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Yu Wei, I heard that everyone who has met you said you're not as strong as her.
"Moreover, she's quite strong as well. It's her first time entering the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, but she's ranked 15th. I heard that the man next to her, Duan Ling Tian, is weak. He only managed to rank so high because she helped him."
The burly young man was none other than Hou Tong Xuan, a true disciple of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect.
"If there's a chance, I'd like to meet her."
Ouyang Yu Wei narrowed her eyes slightly as a smile appeared on her face. "Let's see if she's as peerless as the rumors say."
"Hou Tong Xuan, it's a big mistake to underestimate Duan Lingtian … Duan Lingtian is no ordinary person."
Yan Ru Yu looked at Hou Tong Xuan and shook his head. "Thirty years ago, he was still a tyrant in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Thirty years later, he's already ranked 13th in the upper realm.
Do you think he's as weak as you say? "
Yan Ru Yu knew Duan Lingtian better than anyone else.
In fact, before Duan Lingtian joined the Profound Nether Mansion and joined the Simplicity Celestial Sect, one of the Three Sects and Two Clans of the Profound Nether Mansion, Yan Ru Yu had heard about Duan Lingtian.
Naturally, at that time, Yan Ru Yu did not think much of Duan Lingtian.
