Everyone sat on the spirit boat and passed through countless mountains.
It was Ye Chen's first time witnessing the vastness of Qingzhou.
About four hours later, a snow-capped mountain came into view.
The Secret Ice Realm was located on a snowy peak. It was extremely steep, and it was extremely difficult to enter it.
Everyone got off the spirit boat and followed Taoist Master Blue Heart.
The snow-capped mountain towered into the sky like a pillar that supported the heavens. The surrounding spiritual energy was abundant and Ye Chen could sense the spiritual energy flowing rapidly. He could even absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from the surrounding environment.
Of course, to hide his absorption ability, he did not do that.
After all, he had recovered to Golden Core and had a basic foundation. It would not be a problem for him to go through the secret realm.
Even if something went wrong, Ye Chen believed that the spiritual energy density would be much higher than outside after entering the secret realm.
Mountains surrounded the snowy peak, and at the foot of the snowy peak, there was a vast field. Now, it was already crowded with people, figures everywhere.
Ye Chen looked at the field and realized that many cultivators were wearing different clothes. They seemed to be from different sects.
"Junior Brother Gu, they're from other sects. There's the Beast-taming Sect, the Elixir River Sect, the Fiery Sun Sect, and so on."
Zhen Rou noticed Ye Chen's doubt, so she explained to him.
"The Qingling Sect and the Beast-taming Sect are known as the four major sects of Qingzhou. The Frost Secret Realm doesn't belong to the Qingling Sect alone. Instead, it's shared by the four major sects. When we enter, we won't only be fighting against the disciples of the sects but also against the other sects."
Ye Chen nodded lightly when he heard this. Things had become much more complicated. He might have to modify his previous plan.
However, no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would never back down for the cultivation of the Ancient God Body.
At that moment, Taoist Master Blue Heart came over.
She had a smile on her face and was very gentle to everyone.
In such a sect's arena, what everyone needed was confidence.
She added, "There are many natural treasures inside the secret realm. They are all treasures that can help you break through to the next realm. Your mission is to use Ge Ping's methods to collect and fight for these treasures, and then come back safely. Whoever obtains the most treasures will be the champion of the competition, and they will be rewarded with Foundation Building Pills and other rewards!"
"Foundation Establishment Pills?"
Hearing this reward, everyone's eyes turned red. A treasure that could help a cultivator enter the Foundation Establishment Realm was something they naturally wanted.
Of course, this kind of reward was not worth mentioning to Ye Fan. Dong Xuan, who had reached the Foundation Realm, was also quite disdainful of this kind of reward.
When the others saw this, they all gasped in surprise. As expected, Dong Xuan had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and was far ahead of them. There was no need for her to fight for such a reward.
However, when they looked at Ye Chen, they realized that Ye Chen was also very disdainful. That was a problem.
"Gu Fan, your expression didn't change at all when you heard about the reward of the Foundation Establishment Pill. What do you mean? Are you looking down on the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
A hostage asked.
"Haha, to be honest, I still look down on you," Ye Chen replied with a smile.
"What did you say? Foundation Building Pills are treasures to us. You, a trash with four spiritual roots, actually said that you look down on Foundation Building Pills. Are you saying that we are all idiots? "
"Right, you actually dared to mock us in secret. You deserve death!"
"You're in closed-door cultivation every day. Why don't you show us what you're capable of? How dare you be so arrogant?"
The people targeted Ye Chen and even wanted to fight. After all, to them, Ye Chen was disdainful of such precious Foundation Establishment Pills. It was completely unacceptable.
"Hmph!"
Dong Xuan, who was standing aside, scoffed too. To her, a trash like Ye Chen needed the Foundation Establishment Pills the most.
"What's with all the noise?"
Taoist Master Blue Heart scolded.
"Yes!"
The people retreated one after another.
"We're facing enemies from other sects, yet you guys are fighting among yourselves. It's just a reward of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Whether you look up to it or not, that's your problem. There's no need to discuss it!"
"But, Gu Fan …"
"Shut up!"
Taoist Master Blue Heart was furious. Nobody dared to speak anymore.
At that moment, the four sects had gathered. Core Formation elders appeared, and they were the leaders.
Thud, thud, thud!
As soon as the people calmed down, footsteps were heard.
Ye Chen looked forward. Before the person arrived, he already sensed that there was something wrong with the footsteps. There was a hidden sharpness in the footsteps.
The person walking before them was an old man with a sinister expression. He revealed a disdainful smirk as soon as he saw Ye Chen and the rest.
"Aiyo, isn't this the Qingling Sect? Why did I hear you guys fighting among yourselves? Hahaha! "
The man guffawed with obvious mockery.
"The people from the Imperial Beast Sect have no right to interfere with our business!" Taoist Master Blue Heart stepped forward and scolded.
"You still have the cheek to say that? The Qingling Sect is just a foil in the battle between the four sects. Weren't you last place last year? Hahaha. "
"Hmph, the Imperial Beast Sect isn't any better. You're just slightly more powerful than us."
"Being slightly more powerful is still powerful. The Qingling Sect should just disband."
"What did you say?"
Taoist Master Blue Heart took a step forward and released his aura.
"Hmm?"
The Imperial Beast Sect's elder released his aura too. Both parties were at each other's throats.
"Why is that?" Ye Chen asked.
Zhen Rou shook her head and explained, "The Qingling Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect have always been at odds. Their disciples have fought many times, and there have even been casualties. Therefore, they're always at each other's throats."
"I see!" Ye Chen nodded.
Just when both parties were about to fight, a Core Formation Elder from the Pill River Sect stepped forward to ease the atmosphere. He said, "Alright, both of you. It's inappropriate for you to be arguing in front of so many junior disciples."
"Hmph!" Taoist Master Blue Heart scoffed coldly and returned to the Qingling Sect's side.
"Hahaha, I can't be bothered to argue with a woman."
With that, the Imperial Beast Sect's elder left as well.
After both parties separated, the Pill River Sect's elder walked toward the Qingling Sect's side.
He looked at Taoist Master Blue Heart and asked, "Taoist Master Blue Heart, I heard that your sect has accepted a genius disciple with a mutated ice spiritual root. Is that true?"
As soon as he said that, the people from the other two sects were shocked and looked at Taoist Master Blue Heart at the same time.
Taoist Master Blue Heart raised his brows slightly, feeling elated.
He said with a smile, "Dong Xuan, aren't you going to come out and meet the elders of each sect?"
"Yes!"
Dong Xuan stepped forward and stood in front of everyone.
"Ha, she's extraordinary indeed. Not only is her talent outstanding, but she's also extremely beautiful. The Qingling Sect is going to rise," the Pill River Sect's elder praised.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Taoist Master Blue Heart replied.
However, the Imperial Beast Sect's elder was not jealous. Instead, he scoffed and said, "My sect also has a disciple with a mutated thunder spiritual root."
"Lei Can, come out and meet the elders."
A handsome young man in black stood out and bowed. Greed flashed through his eyes when he looked at Dong Xuan and Zhen Rou.
Many cultivators were shocked to see him.
"Heroes come from the young indeed. If that's the case, let's open the secret zone!"
The elders of the four sects unsealed the secret zone together. Ye Chen, Dong Xuan, and the rest entered.
