The place where the golden light shone was located was above the Peak of Gravity. Even though it was covered by clouds and mist, it still could not block out the dazzling light.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
Numerous figures rushed over from all directions. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the place where the golden light shone.
With a single glance, they were able to see that within the dazzling golden light, there was a grand and ancient door that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
The door was crimson in color. It was surrounded by a seemingly heavy metal that resembled ancient bronze. There were countless complicated patterns engraved on it.
There were people, beasts, and sceneries in the patterns. If one looked closely, they would realize that the people, beasts, and sceneries in the patterns seemed to have come alive in an instant.
On both sides of the door, there were two monsters that looked like a dragon or a flying dragon or a snake guarding it. They emitted a terrifying aura from their bodies.
The door was ajar, as though it would open with a touch. Waves of mysterious black mist escaped from the crack of the door, emitting an aura that made one feel relaxed and happy.
"What kind of immortal beasts are these?"
The people who had gathered here were basically a group of grassroots prodigies. They were already nearby and had rushed over as soon as they could.
At this moment, when the group of prodigies looked at the two monsters, their eyes were filled with confusion. This was because this was the first time that they had seen such monsters.
The two monsters looked extremely ferocious. They had sharp fangs and saliva that constantly dripped from their mouths. Their triangular eyes flickered with a cold light.
At this moment, they were guarding in front of the door, glaring at the group of prodigies. The chains that were as thick as an adult man's waist were pulled taut by them.
It was as though they would have pounced on the group of prodigies if it were not for the chains restraining them.
"It seems that God's Secret Treasure is behind this door."
A young prodigy mumbled to himself.
"This place will open in a month?"
Many people's eyes lit up.
"Didn't you guys notice that... this door is ajar? Maybe we can just push the door open and go in now. "
A middle-aged prodigy looked at the ajar door in the distance with bright eyes.
Then, he could not hold it in any longer. With a flash of his body, he dashed toward the ajar door as though he had transformed into a bolt of lightning.
What happened next was an unforgettable scene for everyone present.
Just as the middle-aged man arrived near the unlatched door, one of the monsters abruptly opened its mouth and unleashed a powerful burst of energy.
"Roar!"
Along with the earth-shaking roar of a beast, a terrifying power, like a world-destroying light, landed on the middle-aged genius.
Before that happened, the middle-aged Heaven's Favorite reacted in time. However, even though he defended with all his might, under the impact of the destructive light, he still turned into a bloody mist. Not even a speck of dust was left behind.
A moment later, a damaged storage ring appeared before everyone's eyes.
The middle-aged prodigy's defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon and the defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon were destroyed by the force.
"This is … the power of an Immortal Emperor?"
Many people were shocked as they looked at the monster that had attacked. Their hearts trembled. No one had expected the monster to be able to display such powerful strength.
The monster's power was not something they could withstand.
The monster's attack contained the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial Emperor. Moreover, apart from the Celestial Origin Energy that was comparable to a Celestial Emperor, it also contained the terrifying aura of a law.
"Even the most outstanding prodigy from a grade-one force might not be able to withstand that monster."
A grassroots prodigy gulped as he spoke in a trembling voice.
"That's … Baili Hong Fei!"
Soon after, many people noticed that Baili Hongfei from the Baili Clan had arrived. Behind him were five or six people. Clearly, they were all geniuses from the Baili Clan.
"Brother Hong Fei, what's that Celestial Beast?"
When the people from the Baili Clan arrived, a pretty girl behind Baili Hongfei looked curiously at the two monsters guarding the door.
The grassroots prodigies present on the scene immediately shifted their attention to Baili Hong Fei.
Baili Hong Fei was the strongest prodigy among the younger generation in the Baili Clan. Rumor had it that he was extremely knowledgeable.
"If I'm not mistaken, those aren't Celestial Beasts but quasi-divine beasts."
At this moment, Baili Hongfei turned to the two monstrous beasts guarding the entrance and spoke with a grim expression on his face.
"Quasi-divine beasts?!"
Upon hearing Baili Hong Fei's words, although it was the first time the prodigies present on the scene had heard of quasi-divine beasts, they knew what Divine Beasts were.
Divine Beasts were existences that possessed god-like strength when they reached adulthood. They were even more powerful than Celestial Beasts.
After all, no matter how powerful a Celestial Beast's bloodline was, it was still a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. If they wanted to advance further, they could only rely on themselves like humans.
Although quasi-divine beasts were not true Celestial Beasts, they were not true Celestial Beasts.
However, they were definitely more terrifying than Celestial Beasts.
"Brother Hong Fei, does that mean quasi-divine beasts are above Celestial Beasts and are between top Celestial Beasts and Divine Beasts?"
Another male disciple of the Baili Clan asked with a shocked expression.
"That's right."
Baili Hong Fei nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, these quasi-divine beasts are Ning Dragons. They're Divine Beasts with no intelligence and only battle instincts."
Quasi-divine beasts with no intelligence and only battle instincts?
They were not afraid of Celestial Beasts with no intelligence and only battle instincts.
However, the thought of quasi-divine beasts sent chills down the spines of the prodigies present on the scene.
"Brother Hong Fei, the door behind the Ning Dragons seems to be ajar."
The female disciple from the Baili Clan who had spoken earlier said.
Upon hearing this, Baili Hong Fei said, "It's normal. Every time God's Secret Treasure opens, all the prodigies in the Genius Secret Realm are notified to gather at the entrance a month in advance. That's when they can enter God's Secret Treasure.
However, if they want to enter God's Secret Treasure, they'll have to pass the test first. It seems like these two Ning Dragons are the test for God's Secret Treasure this time. However, it's not realistic to enter God's Secret Treasure right under their noses. "
At the very least, Baili Hong Fei did not think he had the ability to enter God's Secret Treasure under the watchful eyes of the Ning Dragons.
Although the two Ning Dragons weren't fully grown, the Qi they exuded had clearly surpassed the Qi of Celestial Lords.
The two Ning Dragons were Celestial Emperors. Moreover, the profundities they had mastered were not weak.
"Does this mean we'll be able to enter God's Secret Treasure in advance if we pass the test?"
Another disciple from the Baili Clan asked.
"That's right."
Baili Hong Fei nodded. "Otherwise, we'll have to wait for a month. At that time, the two Ning Dragons will leave."
"Brother Hong Fei, how long will we be able to stay in God's Secret Treasure after the Ning Dragons leave?"
"Three days."
When the other prodigies overheard the conversation between Baili Hong Fei and the Baili Clan's disciple, they were stunned.
If they did not enter God's Secret Treasure in advance, they would only be able to stay in God's Secret Treasure for three days.
"Three days? Isn't that too little? "
As for the disciples of the Baili Clan who had just found out about this, they were all stunned. At the same time, they felt that the time was too short.
"It's always been like this."
Baili Hong Fei shook his head and said, "God's Secret Treasure is a ruin in a Realm of Gods. If we're lucky, we might be able to find a divine artifact in there. Do you think we'll be able to stay in there until the Genius Secret Realm opens? "
"That's not realistic."
Indeed, many people thought they would be able to stay in God's Secret Treasure until the Genius Secret Realm opened. They did not expect they would only be able to stay in there for three days.
"What can we do in just three days?"
"How lucky must we be to obtain a divine artifact in such a short time?"
"It seems like we'll only be able to stay in God's Secret Treasure if we pass the Ning Dragons test."
"Pass the Ning Dragons test? Why don't you try? Can't you see Baili Hong Fei doesn't intend to force his way in? In my opinion, we'll die if we try! "
…
Just as the group of grassroots prodigies were feeling a little depressed, another group of people came over.
"It's the people from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect!"
Many people recognized the group of old men from the Thousand Hands Devil Sect. They were led by Yun Ye, the strongest young prodigy in the Thousand Hands Devil Sect.
"Yun Ye, I heard that you didn't even greet Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er before running away."
Baili Hong Fei looked at Yun Ye and said mockingly, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to avenge your Junior Brother Yun Xiao? "
"Baili Hong Fei!"
Yun Ye's expression darkened when he heard Baili Hong Fei's words and saw the mocking gazes directed at him from the surroundings.
He knew Baili Hongfei must have found out about what had happened outside the Formation Spirit Pagoda.
If Baili Hong Fei found out who leaked the news, he would not let the culprit go.
"What do you mean?"
Many grassroots prodigies did not know what Baili Hong Fei and Yun Ye were talking about. However, after listening to their explanations, they finally understood what Baili Hong Fei and Yun Ye were talking about.
Immediately, they looked at Yun Ye with ridicule in their eyes.
After a while, the people from the Profound Sky Dao Sect arrived as well.
After that, a few people from grade-one forces such as the Tuoba Clan, the Great Dragon Battle Sect, and the Profound Cat Clan arrived as well.
Currently, there were six people from grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory. Only two people from the remaining grade-one forces were missing.
The Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect and the Ancient Phoenix Clan.
There were a total of eight grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory. Among them, the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, the Ancient Phoenix Clan, and the Baili Clan were the strongest.
The other five forces had always worked together to avoid being swallowed up by the other three forces.
