"The Spirit Gold Secret Realm …"
In the Hall of Will, Chen Zong had just finished a day of training. He couldn't help but think about what the three elders had said.
He was planning to go out and train, and the Spirit Gold Secret Realm was about to open. What a coincidence! If he could, he would enter the secret realm no matter what.
Now, all he could do was wait for the Spirit Gold Secret Realm to open.
While Chen Zong was waiting, Yu Fei, Ou Zhengyang, and Gu Qingyun were also waiting. Apart from them, there were many Earth Spirit Realm experts in the headquarters waiting as well.
This wait lasted for half a month before Chen Zong and the others were summoned once again. Apart from the four of them, there were also a portion of the earth spirit realm cultivators from the headquarters and a group of earth spirit realm cultivators from the branches. There was a total of forty-three people.
Chen Zong noticed that apart from himself, the highest cultivation level among the forty-two people was at the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, and the lowest was at the third level of the Earth Spirit Realm. In other words, his cultivation level was the lowest among the forty-three people.
"The Spirit Gold Secret Realm has already appeared. According to our investigation, the restriction of the Spirit Gold Secret Realm is lower than it was a thousand years ago. Not only the Profound Sky Realm can't enter, even the Emperor Realm can't enter." Elder Wang said seriously, "In other words, the highest cultivation level among those who are entering the Spirit Gold Secret Realm is at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm."
"Among the forty-three of you, the highest cultivation level is at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, and the lowest is at the beginning of the second level of the Earth Spirit Realm. However, no matter if you are at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm or at the beginning of the second level of the Earth Spirit Realm, all of you must be careful after entering the Spirit Gold Secret Realm."
Hearing Elder Wang's words, Chen Zong was slightly surprised. Yu Fei, Ou Zhengyang, and Gu Qingyun were slightly startled at first. Their eyes swept across the crowd and unconsciously fell on Chen Zong's face.
The beginning of the second level of the Earth Spirit Realm!
Could it be that Chen Zong's cultivation level was only at the beginning of the second level of the Earth Spirit Realm?
Among the forty-three people, there were a few at the beginning of the second level of the Earth Spirit Realm, but Yu Fei didn't care. He only cared about Chen Zong.
A year and a half ago, his cultivation had been at the peak of the early second level of the earth spirit realm, only a hair's breadth away from the mid second level of the earth spirit realm. Not long after, he'd broken through to the mid second level of the earth spirit realm. Perhaps it was due to the pressure, but his cultivation had continued to rise. After a year and a half, he'd finally broken through to the early third level of the earth spirit realm the day before yesterday, and spent more than a day to consolidate his cultivation.
Ou Zhenyang had also broken through to the early third level of the Earth Spirit Realm at almost the same time as him. As for Gu Qingyun, he had broken through earlier than the two of them, but not by much.
....................................................................
Moreover, it was much easier to advance from the initial first level of the earth spirit realm than the initial second level of the earth spirit realm.
With all of these advantages, Chen Zong's cultivation had only risen from the initial first level of the earth spirit realm to the initial second level of the earth spirit realm in the same amount of time. This kind of speed might be very fast compared to other earth spirit realm cultivators in the outside world, but it was nothing in this place.
Thinking of this, Yu Fei could not help but smile coldly. He felt that the shadow in his heart was about to dissipate.
"It seems like that is all." Ou Zhenyang shook his head and mumbled to himself.
Gu Qingyun frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
They couldn't sense Chen Zong's cultivation level, so they'd obviously misunderstood. They'd made a subjective judgment based on what they'd heard before, and mistakenly thought that Chen Zong was at the early second level of the earth spirit realm.
Chen Zong's expression was the same as usual. After all, Chen Zong didn't know what they were thinking. But even if he knew, Chen Zong wouldn't care and wouldn't explain anything because there was no need to.
The secret realm was a matter of great importance, so the three elders with real power had all left the headquarters with forty-three earth spirit realm cultivators.
Now that Chen Zong was regarded as an important member of the Empyrean Association, there was no need to cover his eyes anymore.
The headquarters was located deep underground in a very ordinary mountain peak. It was very well hidden, and if one didn't know about it in advance, they wouldn't be able to find it at all. The vegetation outside the mountain peak was naturally formed, giving off the feeling of a maze. If one didn't know the route, it would be easy to get lost.
After leaving the headquarters' mountain peak and walking out of the natural maze, the three elders led the group to the other side of the Famed Sword Mountain Range, where the secret realm was located.
Most of the Famed Sword Mountain Range was within Brightsword Province, with a small portion extending into Ninestar Province. The secret realm was located at the border between Brightsword Province and Ninestar Province.
Under the leadership of the three elders, an enormous flying spirit weapon in the shape of a white cloud rose into the air, exploding with astonishing speed towards the secret realm.
In another direction, an enormous black cloud was drifting in the sky at an astonishing speed. It was also heading towards the border between Brightsword Province and Ninestar Province.
This was the Skyscraper Association's flying spirit weapon.
A blood-red flying spirit weapon that looked like a sword streaked across the sky like a crimson meteor. It was the House of Bloodsword's flying spirit weapon.
One after another, enormous flying spirit weapons of various shapes and colors flew across the sky.
Within Ninestar Province, an enormous flying boat streaked across the sky. Nine dazzling stars twinkled on the boat. Looking up from below, one couldn't see the boat at all, only nine twinkling stars that resembled the stars in the sky. This was the Ninestar Sky Sect's flying spirit weapon.
Inside the Nine Stars Flying Boat, numerous figures exuded astonishing auras that mixed into a majestic wave that crushed the air time and time again, filling the interior of the flying boat. There was also an infinitely high fluctuation that was extremely shocking.
Earth Spirit Realm. Within the inner hall of the flying boat, everyone was in the earth spirit realm. The weakest was at the first level of the earth spirit realm, while the strongest was at the peak of the ninth level of the earth spirit realm. Apart from the group of earth spirit realm cultivators, there were also ten profound sky realm cultivators in the other rooms.
After the Nine Stars Flying Boat, there were three smaller flying boats with different shapes. They belonged to the strongest Sect in Ninestar Province, the White Floating Palace, the Eternal Spring Valley, and the Battle Sect.
The White Floating Palace's flying spirit weapon was a white palace, the Eternal Spring Valley's flying spirit weapon was a dark green valley, and the Battle Sect's flying spirit weapon was shaped like an axe.
Within the three flying spirit weapons, there were also many earth spirit realm cultivators and profound sky realm cultivators escorting them.
The Spirit Gold Secret Realm was a secret realm that even a powerful Sect like the Ninestar Sky Sect would pay attention to.
Located at the edge of the Famed Sword Mountain Range, where the Ninestar Province and Brightsword Province intersected, a ten-meter-tall pale golden circular door was naturally formed. The pale golden light was like water, rippling endlessly within the door. It was filled with traces of invincible power.
This place was remote, so no one would come here under normal circumstances. Coupled with the fact that the various major powers had deliberately sealed off this place, the news of the Spirit Gold Secret Realm didn't spread.
After all, there was only one Spirit Gold Secret Realm. The more powers that entered, the greater the competition, the smaller the rewards, and the greater the casualties.
It would be best if they could monopolize it, but that was impossible.
The ten-meter-tall door constantly rotated with power, like a millstone that could crush everything. In the sky, a tyrannical aura pressed down like a violent hurricane. It was the air pressure brought about by the flying spirit weapons approaching one after another.
The flying spirit weapons began to descend from two directions.
Soon after, figures rushed out of the flying spiritual artifacts one after another. When they landed on the ground, their gazes were attracted by the faint golden circular door that was ten meters in size in front of them.
The door seemed to have some kind of magical power that made people involuntarily look at it. After looking at it, they couldn't help but be attracted by it, as if it contained endless mysteries.
At this moment, a flowing light flew from afar at an astonishing speed. It was as fast as the aurora, so fast that the Earthly Spirit Realm experts couldn't react in time. Although most of the Profound Sky Realm experts could react, no one tried to stop it. Instead, a mocking smile hung on the corner of their lips.
That flowing light was a Profound Sky Realm rogue cultivator. In a flash, he rushed towards the door of the Spirit Gold Secret Realm and plunged into it. This Profound Sky Realm rogue cultivator secretly knew about the Spirit Gold Secret Realm, but limited by his level, he didn't know much about it. Therefore, he wanted to enter the Spirit Gold Secret Realm to obtain benefits.
In an instant, the Profound Sky Realm rogue cultivator came into contact with the door of the Spirit Gold Secret Realm. The rotating ripples on the door instantly intensified, spinning like a huge millstone.
With a bang, the flowing light exploded in an instant. Vaguely, there seemed to be a bloody light spreading out, but it was crushed under the rotation of the door.
"He's dead!" The Earthly Spirit Realm experts were stunned.
Although they couldn't see his figure, the fluctuation of his aura let them know that he was a Profound Sky Realm expert. As for which level of the Profound Sky Realm he was at, they didn't know.
Right in front of them, a Profound Sky Realm expert, who was usually high and mighty, had crashed into the door. Not only did he fail to enter the secret realm through the door, he was blocked and then crushed. He couldn't be more dead.
"Idiot." A Profound Sky Realm expert from the Skyscraper Society sneered. The others also had disdain on their faces.
"He cultivated to the first level of the Profound Sky Realm for nothing." Another Profound Sky Realm expert from the Skyscraper Society said.
"That's the first level of the Profound Sky Realm." Elder Wang said, letting Chen Zong and the other forty-three Earthly Spirit Realm experts know the cultivation level of the Profound Sky Realm expert who had just died.
This also let Chen Zong and the others know that the Spirit Gold Secret Realm did have a restriction. Profound Sky Realm experts couldn't enter.
Of course, in the earliest Spirit Gold Secret Realm, Profound Sky Realm experts could enter and leave as they wished. However, because of the destruction caused by the war, the Spirit Gold Secret Realm had undergone some unpredictable changes. Therefore, these restrictions were put in place.
However, if there weren't these restrictions, Chen Zong and the others wouldn't have had the chance to enter. After all, it would have been a battle between Profound Sky Realm experts. If Earthly Spirit Realm experts entered, it would only increase the number of casualties.
Vaguely, Chen Zong felt a malicious intent surrounding him, but he couldn't find the source of it. He couldn't help but become more vigilant.
Soon after, Chen Zong's gaze moved away from the door of the Spirit Gold Secret Realm and looked towards the Skyscraper Society's camp. There were a total of sixty Earthly Spirit Realm experts, and each of them was emitting a shocking aura. Among them, there were a few that made Chen Zong secretly shocked.
It wasn't because their cultivation level was high, but because their aura was shocking. Obviously, they were geniuses at the level of heaven's pride.
