Chapter 94

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the opening of the Secret Territory of True Martial Arts. In the past few days, the entire Golden Elephant Sect had been discussing this matter.

This time, the Golden Elephant Sect had obtained a total of 100 places. The top 50 disciples in the inner sect would naturally be qualified to enter the Secret Territory. However, the remaining inner sect disciples were fighting for a place. For this reason, the inner sect even held a selection competition.

After a round of cruel and intense competition, the remaining 50 people were determined. In this way, the qualified disciples were nervously preparing. Everyone wanted to have a fortuitous encounter and soar to the sky.

Zhan Chen also went to the Flying Clouds Peak because of the Mystery Land. He met Zhao He and bowed.

After greeting Zhao He, Zhao He said to him, "Zhan Chen, it's rare for you to come here. We haven't seen each other for a year, right?"

Zhan Chen embarrassedly touched his head and said, "Your disciple has been devoting himself to cultivation. I have neglected you."

Zhao He smiled and said, "That's understandable. I have been in closed-door training for many years. I really envy you young people. You can always taste the joy of breaking through. As your master, I have not broken through for dozens of years!"

Zhan Chen was stunned. He could not help but ask, "Master, is it so difficult to break through after becoming a Revered Martial Artist?"

Zhao He's face turned serious and said, "After breaking through to Revered Martial Artist, you need to convert all the True Qi in your body into True Qi. The density of True Qi is dozens of times that of True Qi. Therefore, the effort needed to break through to the next level of Revered Martial Artist is dozens of times that of a Martial Master. You can imagine it yourself. Therefore, if a Revered Martial Artist does not encounter some fortuitous encounter, he will never be able to reach the level of King Wu! "

"That's so difficult!" Zhan Chen was also very shocked.

"Hehe, you have not broken through to Revered Martial Artist. Don't think so far ahead. You should seize the time to break through the current level. This time, the Secret Territory is a great opportunity. Don't miss it."

Speaking of the Secret Territory, Zhan Chen quickly said, "Master, this time I am here to ask you about the Secret Territory of True Martial Artist. I know nothing about it."

Zhao He reminisced and said slowly, "Well, I will tell you about it. I have a deep impression of it. It is because I had a fortuitous encounter when I was young that I broke through to Revered Martial Artist."

"First, let me tell you the origin of this Secret Territory. It is said that the Secret Realm of True Martial Artist was created by a powerhouse known as Zhen Martial Taoist. No one knows of his specific level, but it is undoubtedly above Daoist.

"This Taoist Zhen Wu was born in our Northern Sea Continent. Later, he moved to the center of the Ten Thousand Laws Continent to develop his life. Only when his lifespan was about to come to an end did he return to his roots and establish this Zhen Wu Secret Territory in the Northern Sea Continent.

"The Martial Of of of of Territory of of of Yan were were of of of of of Emperor. of Zhen of Territory of of.

"There are so many places in the Secret Territory of True Martial?" Zhan Chen could not help but exclaim.

"Yes, it is divided into 49 small Secret Territories and one big Secret Territory. I heard that Zhen Martial Taoist put all his wealth and knowledge into the big Secret Territory that he created. The big Secret Territory of Zhen Martial Artist is located in the center of the Northern Continent. It is one of the three big Secret Territories of the Northern Continent. It opens once every hundred years."

"The Secret Territory of Zhen Martial Artist in the Hou Yan Kingdom is only one of the 49 small Secret Territories. According to the ancestor, the reason he created these small Secret Territories was to cultivate a large number of young Martial Masters in the Northern Sea, so that more cultivation geniuses could be born in the Northern Sea and change the current situation of the Northern Sea. Therefore, there is a cultivation restriction to enter the small Secret Territory. Warriors above Revered Martial Artist cannot enter. "

"When you go to the Secret Territory, apart from the treasures that can increase your cultivation, you also have to pay attention to one thing. That is the Divine Order of True Martial Arts, because it is the only key to enter the big Secret Territory of True Martial. If your cultivation can reach the Martial Sage Realm one day, you will be qualified to enter and have a chance to inherit the mantle of Zhen Martial Taoist."

"The Divine Order of True Martial Arts?" Zhan Chen firmly remembered it in his heart.

"Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to give you." As Zhao He spoke, he took out a sheepskin scroll from his Cosmos Sack and handed it to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen took the scroll and opened it. It turned out to be a map. He quickly raised his head and asked, "Master, is this the map of the Secret Territory of True Martial?"

Zhao He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, take it back and study it. It will be of great help to you."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhan Chen cupped his hands and thanked him.

Zhao He said, "There are some specific details. When the Secret Territory opens, there will be people who will emphasize them to you. I won't say much, go back and prepare."

"Yes!" Zhan Chen bowed to him again and left the Flying Cloud Hall.

For the rest of the day, Zhan Chen followed Zhao He's instructions and stayed at home to study the map of the Secret Territory of True Martial. It was only until the day of the assembly that he rushed to the sect.

This time, the scale of the send-off was even bigger, and the number of people who left for the expedition also reached more than a hundred. Other than the hundred disciples who were qualified to enter the secret realm, there were also Li Jianshu and four elders. Zhao He was also in the group.

A large group of people marched in the direction of the Misty Wind Sect. After a long journey of more than a month, they arrived at the imperial city of the Later Yan Kingdom. However, this time, the team didn't go to the mountain of the Misty Wind Sect. Instead, they went to the west and went directly to the location of the Secret Territory of True Martial. This was because the Misty Wind Sect's gathering place was located there.

This was a vast valley. When the Golden Elephant Sect arrived, there were already many sects' teams stationed here. They were all waiting for the opening of the Secret Territory.

There was still some time before the opening of the Secret Territory. This was because the time of the Secret Territory's opening was fixed every twenty years. It was on the eighth day of the second month.

Zhan Chen arrived at the camp and looked around. Apart from the rolling green mountains, there was nothing unusual. He was puzzled, "Everyone said that the Secret Territory is about to open, but I don't see anything here. Could it be that there are some mysteries here?"

Because of this, he specifically asked Zhao He.

However, after listening to his question, Zhao He only smiled mysteriously and said, "Zhan Chen, I will keep it a secret. You will know what is going on when the time comes. If I say it now, it will be meaningless."

After listening to his master's words, Zhan Chen could only suppress his curiosity and wait for the arrival of the eighth day of the second month with great difficulty.

After a few days, all the sects' people had arrived. They were stationed around the valley, and they coordinated with each other.

Three days before the opening of the Secret Territory, a miraculous phenomenon was finally discovered. Zhan Chen actually discovered that in the center of the valley, there was a ray of light that was constantly flickering.

Many disciples of various sects were curious and wanted to go forward to investigate. However, that ray of light didn't seem to have a real body. It was like a mirage, which made people unable to figure it out.

At this time, Zhan Chen came to know from the conversation of the disciples that the real entrance to the Secret Territory of True Martial was inside that ray of light.

"The real entrance? This world is really full of strange things. "He thought in his heart.

After that, he observed that ray of light from time to time. That ray of light also responded to everyone's expectations. It began to gradually expand and become brighter. Until the dawn of the third day, a miraculous scene occurred. The ray of light in the center of the valley blossomed into thousands of rays of light, illuminating the entire valley as if it was daytime.

Almost all the disciples of the sects ran out of their tents and gathered around the ray of light to witness this incomparably marvelous scene.

After a short while, the ray of light faded away. A huge window that was five meters tall and four meters wide appeared in front of everyone. This window seemed to be completely transparent. Through it, one could see the scene of another world.

At this time, the Misty Wind Sect and the other five small sects of the Hou Yan Kingdom had already gathered at the forefront.

However, Zhan Chen discovered a new face. It was the man who stood at the forefront of the Misty Wind Sect. He was seven feet tall. His eyes were like stars. His nose was straight. His lips were red, and his beard was long and elegant. He looked like a celestial being.

He thought in his heart, "Could it be that the man standing at the forefront of the Misty Wind Sect is the Misty Wind Sect's Sect Master – Ling Xiaotian?"

The development of the situation immediately proved Zhan Chen's guess. The five Sect Masters looked at him at the same time. It seemed as if they were following his lead.

He then heard the Flowing Water Sect's Sect Master, Qin Mengyao, say, "Sect Master Ling, you are the initiator of the opening of the True Martial Secret Territory. Therefore, the ceremony should be hosted by you."

Ling Xiaotian nodded. He then said in a tone that was neither slow nor urgent, "Disciples of all sects, please pay attention. You are about to enter the True Martial Secret Territory. But before that, there are a few important things that I must emphasize to everyone."

At this time, the valley was in absolute silence. Everyone consciously stopped talking. Because the things that Ling Xiaotian was about to say were very important. They were directly related to the success or failure of this exploration.

Ling Xiaotian saw that everyone's attention was focused on him. He then continued, "First and most importantly, the True Martial Secret Territory has a time limit. The time limit is exactly three months. When the time comes, no matter where you are in the Secret Territory, you will be automatically transported out and once again return to this valley. Therefore, you must plan how to allocate your time well.

"Secondly, there is the True Martial Divine Palace in the center of the Secret Territory. It contains countless treasures and fortuitous encounters. It is the main destination of your trip. Therefore, when you enter the Secret Territory, the first thing you must do is to make the best use of your time and reach the True Martial Divine Palace as soon as possible. Of course, the divine palace also contains countless tests and dangers. But, if you want to become a heaven's pride of the generation, you must overcome these dangers and seize the treasures.

"Finally, all of our clans have agreed that the True Martial Secret Domain is a place without any restrictions. Fighting and killing are allowed inside. However, I still hope that everyone will try their best to restrain themselves. It's better to unite than to fight."

"That's all I have to say. Next, please arrange your entry into the Secret Territory."

"Hahaha, my Fire Cloud Sect will go first!" Li Daxiao laughed. Then, he waved his hand. The disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect behind him entered the Secret Territory's gate one by one.

Next was the Flowing Water Sect...

Just as the disciples of the various sects were about to enter the Secret Territory, Zhan Chen looked at Wang Yin who was in the group. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He thought, "Wang Yin, it's finally time for us to settle things. The True Martial Secret Territory doesn't restrict fighting. Watch me take your dog life!"

Wang Yin also seemed to feel Zhan Chen's gaze. He turned his head and looked at him, giving him a meaningful smile.

At this time, Li Jianshu's order came from the front of the group. "Golden Elephant Sect's disciples, listen up. Enter the True Martial Secret Territory!"
