It was almost noon.
A thousand miles north of Yan Yang City, in the middle of the forest, a rather steep mountain peak rose up from the ground.
The peak that seemed to have been cut in half was extremely vast, with a radius of several thousand meters. In the center of the peak, there was a platform about one thousand meters in length and width. It was only two meters high, and it was crystal clear, as if it was carved out of a huge piece of white jade.
Within the white jade platform, fine lines crisscrossed each other, as if countless spider webs were stacked on top of each other. In the center of the platform, there was a smooth white ball that protruded out. This ball was extremely large, and its diameter was at least several hundred meters.
That ball also contained countless mysterious lines.
Its bottom was closely connected to the square platform, and through the connection between the two, the square platform and the ball's lines were also connected, as if they were a perfect whole.
At this moment, the surroundings of the square platform were filled with a sea of people.
The cultivators of the Pure Yang Sword Sect were gathered on the south and west sides of the square platform, while the cultivators from all over the Yan State were gathered in the other two directions. All of them were under the age of fifty, and their cultivations were not lower than the Heavenly Yuan Stage. All in all, there were at least ten thousand people here.
"I'm actually the only one in the Origin Condensation Realm!"
On the south side of the square platform, Tang Huan quietly sat cross-legged on the ground, but he was sighing in his heart.
This mountain was called the "World Opening Peak", and the square platform was called the "World Opening Platform". Every fifty years, the passageway to the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" would open here. The World Opening Peak and the World Opening Platform were not only present in the Yan State, but also in the Sky Region, Hai Continent, and the other thirty-five prefectures.
Once the passageway was opened, not everyone would be able to enter, even cultivators of the right age and cultivation level.
In order to smoothly pass through that passageway, one would need a "World Opening Talisman". Every year before the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" opened, a certain number of "World Opening Talismans" would be separated from the ball.
This meant that there was a limit to the number of people who could enter the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm". It did not exceed the number of "World Opening Talismans". It did not mean that they could enter as many people as they wanted.
Eighty percent of the Yan State's "World Opening Talisman" was in the hands of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, while the other twenty percent was distributed by the sword sect to the other great powers in the Yan State. Of course, with the Pure Yang Sword Sect's position and strength in the Yan State, he could completely take all the "World Opening Talisman" for himself.
However, Pure Yang Sword Sect did not do such a thing that would easily incur public anger.
Furthermore, eighty percent of the "Crossing Talisman" was more or less enough for the Pure Yang Sword Sect. After all, not all the Golden Sword Sect disciples and Swordsmen that met the requirements were willing to go to the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm".
For example, Nie Kun, who was ranked twelfth on the Heavenly Rankings, did not plan to enter the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm". Thus, he had been carrying out missions outside and did not return to the Yan Yang City.
Although Nie Kun did not return, nor did he gather all the materials to give to him, Tang Huan still left behind a middle stage Heavenly Soldier and entrusted it to Gao Zhen.
Not only that, Tang Huan also left behind a portion of the "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal" for Hu Xuan, Chen You and the others.
With the high quality low rank Heavenly Soldier that he provided, Hu Xuan and the others had an advantage in the Sword-fighting Villa. The accumulated points had steadily increased, and had already exceeded the standard to enter the "Sword Testing Grounds". Within a year, it probably wouldn't be too much of a problem to gather 500 points and directly become an Iron Sword disciple.
Three years later, when they came out of the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", they might have already been promoted from Iron Sword disciples to Copper Sword disciples, or even Silver Sword disciples.
Tang Huan laughed in his heart, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings.
The lowest cultivation level of the Golden Sword disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect was the Heavenly Yuan Stage, and there were quite a few who had reached the origin realm. There were even some who had stepped into the third tribulation realm, and among the group of swordsmen of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, at least half of them had stepped into the origin realm.
Generally speaking, when the disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect were over thirty-five years old, no matter what cultivation level they were at, their identities would be promoted from disciples of the seven divisions to swordsmen.
Among such a group of powerful people, Tang Huan, who was at the Origin Condensation Realm, was like a crane among a flock of chickens.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Tang Huan's mind moved, he subconsciously looked over in the blink of an eye, and the figure of a lady in a pink dress instantly entered his line of sight. That person looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with long black hair casually tied behind his head. His facial features were exquisite, his face was beautiful, and his skin was tender and white, soft and smooth, like congealed fat. Under the sunlight, it was as if there was a layer of faint luster flowing like water.
Her name was Yu Qingge, and she was the older sister of the Yu Mingjing that he had heavily injured back then. She had just come out of seclusion a few days ago, and had already passed the Yin Tribulation of the three tribulations. She was the second disciple of the seven divisions of the Pure Yang to reach this level of cultivation.
As their eyes met, Yu Qingge's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a slight smile seemed to surface on her delicate face. Beside her, Qi Lian's face darkened, and she let out a light snort.
The corner of Tang Huan's mouth raised slightly, his face did not change at all, but in his heart, he secretly sneered.
Yu Qingge's expression did not seem to be abnormal, but he could faintly feel the killing intent hidden in the depths of her beautiful eyes. Tang Huan knew that after entering the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", once they met on a narrow path, she would definitely put him to death and would definitely not show any mercy.
However, so what?
The "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" was extremely vast. Not to mention whether or not they could meet, even if they did, it was still unknown who would win. He had never activated the "Dragon Seal" that Yan Zu had given him on his left chest. If there really came a day when he used it on Yu Qingge, it would not be a waste.
In a blink of an eye, Tang Huan's gaze swept past Yu Qingge and Qi Lian, and landed on another handsome man with a jade-like appearance. That person was Leng, who had been defeated by Tang Huan a few days ago. Cong Yuping was jealous? The Bridge of Arousing and Awakening Lust? How could he be so stubborn?
With a sneer, Tang Huan no longer paid any attention to his fellow disciples. His gaze turned to Pang Shuo's square platform and the round ball.
High in the sky, the blazing sun was high in the sky.
Noon had arrived!
According to Tang Huan's knowledge, the passageway to the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" opened at noon. The surrounding cultivators, like Tang Huan, also shifted their attention to the "Realm Opening Stage". Their gazes towards the center of the mountain peak all contained a hint of anticipation, whether strong or weak.
"Rumble …"
