"The Hidden Dragon Secret Realm is the biggest martial art sacred place in the whole South Rudra Region. However, it has never appeared before. I did not expect to see it today."
"Yeah, if I have guessed it right, that lively dragon Qi should be the only entrance to the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. Once it disappears, no one will be able to enter."
"I am so jealous! The young generation is already extremely powerful. If they come out of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, their power would definitely increase drastically, especially Ye Chen and Sikong Sheng. Their attacking power is already equivalent to warriors who have just reached the Astral Reaching Realm. If they increase drastically, they might even be able to compete with Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors!"
Although the first two had broken the sealing light wall, it was dead, while the Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors were alive. It would not be easy to hit them. Plus, after reaching the Astral Reaching Realm, all of their zhen Qi would be converted into zhen yuan. Under the burning zhen yuan mode, their power would increase drastically. With the two's attacking power right now, they could only compete with Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors under normal conditions. If they ran into Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors who were risking their lives, it would be very likely for them to die. They would not even be able to compete with Xuanhou, who could kill two or three Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors at the same time.
Of course, Xuanhou was the No.1 martial genius in the past one thousand years, so it was understandable that she was so powerful. But, if the two could also reach this level at the Clasping Yuan Realm, then it would be really shocking.
All of a sudden, people started to have different opinions. A lot of the warriors who were watching the battle looked envious, including the Astral Reaching Realm warriors. The martial art sacred place was not a normal place. Once one entered, he or she would be able to make great progress in martial arts. As for how much progress one could make, it would depend on one's comprehensive ability and power.
"The entrance of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm will be open for six hours. Hurry up and heal your wounds! Go in with your best condition!"
All of the leaders called back their disciples who had entered the Hidden Dragon Rank, their voices sounding urgent.
Soon, all of the young warriors on the Hidden Dragon Rank had disappeared, leaving only dozens of them.
Ye Chen did not leave the battling platform. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed, taking out a soul replenishing pellet from his storage ring. As for Sikong Sheng, he had been wounded quite badly, so he had already left the battling platform. Under the lead of the leader of the Floating Mountain Martial School, he had entered the secret room to heal his wounds.
"Hehe, this is a rare opportunity. I will also prepare." Tuo Baku flew onto the battling platform and sat down in front of Ye Chen. He took out a huge pile of spirit medicines from his storage ring and randomly picked a few of them and put them into his mouth. Ye Chen glanced at them slightly and could not help but feel speechless. These spirit medicines were not normal, and some of them were extremely valuable, which would be hard to find in big auctions.
This Tuo Baku was not simple at all.
A fragrant wind lingered in the air as Xu Jing also arrived on the stage. She was strong, and her recovery ability was also strong. She would only get stronger as the battle progressed, so she didn't need to deliberately heal herself.
"They really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm would have nothing to do with them. Of course, there's also me."
The Replenishing Spirit Pellet was working. Ye Chen smiled and said, "This time, there will be someone who has a thirty-meter long dragon shadow. Therefore, the appearance of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm is destined."
Tuo Baku interrupted, "That is not necessarily true. Thirty-meter long dragon shadow is not just about having enough dragon fountain Qi. It also has something to do with the user. If you did not get the first place, then maybe the dragon shadow would not even appear, and would be stuck at eighty-nine meters."
It was Ye Chen's first time hearing about this.
Time passed like water. More and more Hidden Dragon Rank warriors appeared on the battling platform. Everyone kept their mouths shut and waited quietly.
After four and a half hours, all seventy-two people had arrived.
The leader of the Sky Demon Martial School's voice was heard, "This time, you will have to go through all kinds of tests. Those who do not pass the tests will be automatically teleported out of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. There are only seven days left before the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm closes. In other words, after seven days, everyone will be teleported out. Hurry up and work hard!"
Just as he finished talking, the leader of the Sky Demon Martial School said to Ye Chen, "You are the key to opening the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. You will be the first one to go in. The rest of you will be the same."
Hearing him, Ye Chen did not hesitate as he stepped into the swirl in the dragon Qi mouth.
Whoo!
The swirl shook slightly, and Ye Chen disappeared.
Then, Sikong Sheng, Yan Chihuo, Murong Qingcheng, Tuo Baku and the rest entered one by one. The rest of them did not want to be left behind, so they extended their bodies and followed closely.
Once everyone had disappeared into the swirl, the massive dragon Qi head lifted up, circled around the battling platform twice, and then shrunk back into the pitch black abyss. No one could see it anymore.
Whoo!
The leader of the Sky Demon Martial School sat down and exchanged a look with the leaders of the other rank 6 martial institutions.
It was the first time for them to see the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm appear. As for what kind of benefits the young generation would get, no one could tell for sure. But, they believed that their disciples would not lose to the others, and they would definitely get the biggest benefits, which would help them build a solid foundation for the future.
On the audience seating, no one left. They were prepared to sit there for seven days and see what would happen. Once they reached the Clasping Yuan Realm, it was normal for them to close up for one or two months. Seven days was a very short time.
Above the surreal space, two space cracks were faintly visible.
"Dragon King, this is also the first time for us to see the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm appear, right?" A light female voice came from the space crack on the left.
"Hehe, the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm has appeared, which means that the luck of the South Rudra Region is on the rise. We did not waste our effort to chase the Nine Underworld Demon King for half of the continent and wound him badly. He would not be able to recover within a hundred years." The voice was very old, but the power contained in the voice had even made the surreal space shake a little. His tone changed as he said, "Speaking of which, you are quite powerful. You had only reached the Life and Death Realm not long ago, but your power was already at the same level as the older Life and Death Realm warriors. I, the Dragon King, am not even close."
"Dragon King, you do not have to be so humble. You are one of the oldest Life and Death Realm warriors. The fact that the Nine Underworld Demon King had been defeated is enough to show your power."
The owner of the old voice forced a laugh, "Let's not talk about these meaningless things. Plus, we should not stay here for too long. The Hidden Dragon Ancient Place is something that even titled emperors would be afraid of. The good thing is that we have some connection with the South Rudra Region. Otherwise, we would not even come here."
"Yeah, when I was able to reach the Life and Death Realm, I had more or less gotten some of the luck from the South Rudra Region. Killing the Nine Underworld Demon King was only part of it."
"The Hidden Dragon Rank competitions have already ended. There is no point in staying here any longer."
Within a blink of an eye, the space crack disappeared. Even the leader of the rank 6 martial institutions could not sense their existence, as if they had never appeared in this world before.
…
This was a vast world, boundless and limitless.
The young generation all appeared on top of a low mountain. The mountain was connected to the ground by a flight of stairs, which was dozens of miles long.
"So this is the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm? It does not feel different at all!" Some of the young generation were confused.
"Huh! If the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm could let you see something different, then it would not be called the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. I will go first!"
Seven days was not a long time, but it was not a short time either. Some of the people were impatient, so they started to walk down the mountain, hoping that they would be able to find something in seven days.
Dozens of miles were covered within a blink of an eye. The people in the front had just reached the foot of the mountain when something strange happened.
The ground started to crack, and the fire shot up into the sky. The burning lava was like waves of water, rushing towards the crowd.
"What is going on?!"
Everyone was shocked, and they all backed out.
Yan Chihuo's eyes brightened. He had seen the existence of a poetic perspective in this scene. He did not back out, but rushed towards the lava.
"Flame Cut!"
"Fire Dragon Cut!"
"Earth Crack Cut!"
"Gold Flame Cut!"
With the long blade in his hand, Yan Chihuo performed everything he had learned, fighting against the lava.
Gradually, Ye Chen could see the difference. Yan Chihuo's fire poetic perspective was growing at a fast speed. Towards the end, his blade art was getting more and more aggressive, and the blade light was getting more and more powerful. It seemed to have become one with the boiling lava and the cracked ground. Every time he waved his blade, it gave people a feeling that the ground was cracking and the lava was crazily rushing out.
The lava disappeared. Yan Chihuo stood still for a while, then laughed towards the sky, "Good, very good! My fire poetic perspective has not only doubled, but I have also learned the earth poetic perspective."
Turning around, he yelled at Ye Chen, "Your cloud poetic perspective is suppressing my cloud poetic perspective. But now, I have the earth poetic perspective. Combined with the fire poetic perspective, you are definitely not my opponent."
The young warriors were shocked. They did not expect that Yan Chihuo would have such a great achievement right from the beginning. Right now, he even dared to challenge Ye Chen. But judging from the looks of it, Yan Chihuo's blade art had indeed become much more powerful. His third place in the Hidden Dragon Rank was unshakable, and there was a clear dividing line between him and the fourth.
The lava came fast, and left fast as well. Soon, it had disappeared without a trace, and the cracked ground had healed up without a trace.
Flying was not allowed in the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, so everyone had to walk.
Whoo!
The wind started to pick up. Small snowflakes flew across the sky, covering the whole place. The next second, huge snowflakes started to fall, accompanied by the wild wind. It was obviously an extremely horrifying blizzard.
Lynch, who had been silent the whole time, took out his Air Shattering Blade and rushed towards the blizzard.
The shining blade light spread out in all directions. Lynch's blade aura was getting faster and faster, and the poetic perspective of his blade art went from weak to strong. When he waved out his blade, the blade was no longer a blade anymore, but a wild wind, a blizzard, giving people the illusion that it was unstoppable. Right then, Lynch's attacking power had increased by a small level. If the Hidden Dragon Rank competition was held again, he would definitely be able to make a big step forward and surpass the few people who were ranked in front of him.
Right after that, the surrounding area started to flood again. There were swirls everywhere in the water, and the undercurrent was surging. All of the young warriors who had learned the water poetic perspective had learned from what had happened before, so they did not panic too much. They all picked up their weapons and fought against the tide, hoping that they could make it to the next level.
However, things were not as simple as they seemed.
All of the people who could not fight against the tide had been sent out of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm one by one. Only then did everyone realize that the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm was not only a holy place for training, but also a place to test them. Those who were not talented in martial arts would be eliminated one by one, and only those who could fight against the tide would be able to get the benefits.
With this lesson, a lot of people started to hesitate. They did not know if they should challenge the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm or not. What if they were sent out?
The top ranked young warriors sneered. If they did not become more powerful now, there would be no chance for them to challenge the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm in the future. But one thing was for sure, the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm would only get harder and harder. If they did not prepare well in the beginning, they would most likely fail.
