Origin Secret Realm

Your son pays respects to Your Majesty.

Your son pays respects to Your Majesty.

The members of the Imperial Clan on the Immortal Platform, including Chu Tianhuang who was standing in first place, all knelt down in worship.

The other Imperial Clan below the Immortal Platform also knelt and bowed their heads, not daring to even glance up.

People from other sects, including the Demon Subduing Division, the Ten-Thousand-Year Aristocratic Clan, and other forces, also realized what was happening and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

Standing Imperial Palace amidst the Cloudmist, two illusory figures, Yuan Xinggang and Shangguan Hong, bowed slightly to show their respect. Given their status and relationship with the Emperor Chu, such formalities were no longer necessary.

Li Hao followed the others and was about to kneel in worship when suddenly a gentle force supported his body.

At the same time, a majestic yet kind voice echoed in his mind, "Where is your Master now?"

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, looking around in surprise and doubt before his gaze fell on the majestic figure of the Imperial Palace.

"Your teacher once showed me kindness, so you have no need to worry. Didn't your teacher mention this to you?"

The voice rang out again.

At this moment, Li Hao was finally certain that the person who transmitted the message was the Emperor Chu before him, who possessed Yan Chu's Nine Thousand Immortal Cities.

In the entire True Realm, these are all top-tier experts, probably second only to the Immortal Emperor who stands at the pinnacle of the Golden Name.

How did Your Majesty come to this conclusion?

Li Hao asked in confusion via telepathy.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need for him to deny it. The other party's words don't seem like extortion. Besides, given the other party's strength and status, if they truly had malicious intentions, they wouldn't need to extort; they would have plenty of ways to achieve their goal.

"Your Immortal Body is that of Ancestral Immortal Body. This technique is not passed on to outsiders, except for those Lineage who received his favor back then. And those people have long since been wiped out and disappeared without a trace..."

The Emperor Chu spoke calmly via telepathy.

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, not expecting that it was his Immortal Body that had exposed him.

However, since Gu Changming could discern his identity and origins from his actions, it's not surprising that the Emperor Chu could as well.

He said sullenly, "I see."

"Where is your master now?" the Emperor Chu asked again via telepathy.

Li Hao replied telepathically, "Your Majesty, I only obtained a bit of the fortuitous opportunity by chance. I'm not even Personal Disciple yet, and I know nothing about him. Perhaps I'll learn something after I become Personal Disciple."

His words were relatively conservative. Although the Emperor Chu before him seemed to have no ill intentions, he still harbored some suspicions.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the Emperor Chu's telepathic communication temporarily ceased, then he seemed to sigh and say:

"I never imagined that someone with your Heavenly Talent wouldn't become Personal Disciple. Well... his three Personal Disciple back then were absolutely stunning, far surpassing this; they were true geniuses of the Heavenly Prodigy..."

As the murmurs faded away, the words gradually disappeared.

Immediately, Li Hao saw the Imperial Palace doors open completely, and a majestic and imposing voice rang out—it was the voice of the Emperor Chu who had just transmitted his message:

"You come from the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, and are about to fight for my Yan-Chu against the Six Kingdoms. The Top Ten, step forward!"

Chu Xiangtian immediately turned his head and gestured for Chu Tianhuang in front of him to step forward.

The other members of the Imperial Clan, including the seventh Imperial Daughter, also showed joy in their eyes. They all stood up, took turns stepping forward, and flew to the front of the Imperial Palace.

Li Hao and Xing Lan followed suit, and the ten of them stood amidst the billowing Cloudmist Imperial Palace, their extraordinary figures drawing the attention of the All Under Heaven.

"The top player will be granted a Fragment of Fate!"

As the Emperor Chu spoke, a streak of light shot out from the Imperial Palace, tracing a path of seven-colored rays, and landed in front of Chu Tianhuang.

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes lit up with excitement and envy.

Fragment of Fate —these are supreme divine objects that allow one to comprehend the power of Destiny.

Among the countless Great Dao in the True Realm, the Nine Orders Destiny supreme, and Destiny is the most revered.

Even the Nine Sequence Origin time, space, etc., which are extremely difficult to comprehend, are insignificant in the face of Destiny!

The best way to comprehend the power of Destiny is to use divine artifacts that are Fragment of Fate!

Unexpectedly, the Yan-Chu royal family has been so generous, bestowing such a treasure upon us.

Even the usually calm and collected Chu Tianhuang couldn't help but show a hint of excitement in his eyes. He quickly reached out to accept the gift and then bowed to express his gratitude.

"The runner-up will be bestowed with a top-tier Immortal Weapon, a drop of Emperor Blood Essence, and seven years of opportunity to cultivate and comprehend the Origin Realm!"

The Emperor Chu continued to bestow rewards.

Two Dao Light flew out from the Imperial Palace, each a longsword radiating a chilling power. The blades seemed to be accompanied by the long cry of azure ice phoenixes, exuding a terrifying aura and spirit that suppressed the auras of Li Hao and the Top Ten!

This Immortal Weapon alone seems capable of piercing all ten of them into a chain.

Li Hao vaguely sensed that the Taowu in his own Heaven and Earth Space was emanating an excited spirit, transmitting its voice to Li Hao:

"Aura so delicious, I really want to eat it!"

"Can you eat it?"

Li Hao sensed the power of the Immortal Weapon and was somewhat surprised by Taowu's words.

"If my master is at the same cultivation level as him, I am confident!"

"That's what Taowu said excitedly."

Li Hao sensed its Bloodlust and ferocity, as well as the confidence revealed in its words. It truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier Immortal Weapon left over from the remaining weapons in the Imperial Hall.

In that war, there were probably many other Immortal Weapon of the same or even greater rank as the Taowu that perished in that earth-shattering battlefield.

At this moment, behind the Immortal Weapon, there was a dense, silvery-black light, like continuously fissuring silvery-black lightning.

The light emanated an immense majesty, causing everyone present to feel a sinking feeling in their hearts, an indescribable sensation.

Boya Xuejian, who was standing in second place, showed a light in his eyes for the first time. The weapon and the Emperor Blood Essence seemed to be prepared for him. Even the attributes of the Immortal Weapon gave him an extremely friendly feeling.

He reached out and took them; two coveted treasures landed in his hands.

"Ranked third, receiving the same reward."

The Emperor Chu continued to bestow rewards.

Then, the same treasures flew out, but this time, the attributes of the Immortal Weapon were a dazzling golden yellow, exuding a heavy power; they were a different type of Immortal Weapon.

"My God, two drops of Emperor Blood Essence have been bestowed upon me in succession!"

"Even the Emperor Clan wouldn't dare to bestow such a reward!"

"This is the Emperor Blood Essence. If used by someone without Emperor Blood, it can transfer their Bloodline to Emperor Blood. If used by someone with Emperor Blood, it can increase the concentration of Emperor Blood and also grant them an opportunity for an Emperor-level teaching!"

Below the Immortal Platform, disciples and elders from various sects were in an uproar. Some were envious, while some elders wished they could be on the platform themselves, regretting that they didn't have such an opportunity.

"The rest will be rewarded with an Immortal Weapon, the 'Overlord Immortal Body,' the top-tier Immortal Body combat technique of my Imperial Clan, and an opportunity to cultivate and comprehend the Seven-Layer Origin Realm!"

The Emperor Chu's voice boomed loudly, extremely steady, yet it resounded throughout the Heaven and Earth.

Seven Dao Light shot out, which were seven Immortal Weapons, but they did not reach the level of the one that Boya Xuejian obtained. However, they could all be used at the Tenth Layer of the Immortal Lord Realm!

In addition, seven streams of light entered the foreheads of Li Hao and the other six people. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of information surged in, and a golden Immortal Body Battle Technique floated in their sea of consciousness.

"Young man, what is your name?"

As Li Hao was reading the Imperial Clan Immortal Body battle technique, the King of Chu's voice rang out, and his gaze fell on Li Hao.

Upon hearing Emperor Chu's words, Xing Lan and the others beside him all looked at Li Hao with surprise in their eyes, seemingly not expecting that he would be singled out by Emperor Chu.

"Haotian."

Li Hao snapped out of his daze and quickly bowed in response.

At this moment, his name spread throughout the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, becoming famous All Under Heaven!

"Having reached this stage at the True Immortal Realm, the 'Overlord Immortal Body' battle technique is a technique for the Immortal Lord Realm, and it is currently useless to you. I bestow upon you a fragment of Emperor Blood Essence; master it well."

The Emperor Chu spoke slowly, and then a beam of light radiating Emperor's Might flew down in front of Li Hao.

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, then raised his hand to catch it. It was a drop of blood, but it seemed as heavy as a thousand mountains.

He quickly thanked him.

The others looked at Li Hao with envy, their eyes filled with complex emotions, including jealousy and secret resentment.

The Emperor Blood Essence is extremely rare, yet Li Hao managed to snag this bargain.

The rewards for the Top Ten were finished. Emperor Chu then raised his hand and drew a huge arc in the Void. The arc reflected another world, which seemed to be a Secret Realm.

"Those who represent my Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty in battle will have the opportunity to cultivate in the Chaos Secret Realm for the next seven years. Those who perform exceptionally well there will be granted the opportunity to cultivate and comprehend the Origin Secret Realm!"

Upon hearing his words, the various sects below the Immortal Platform erupted in commotion once again. Those disciples who had not made it into the top 1,000 were all shocked and bewildered, and then stamped their feet and wailed, regretting the loss of this tremendous opportunity.

The Chaos Secret Realm is a renowned cultivation Sacred Land among the Imperial Clan. It contains a Chaos world where one can more easily comprehend many Great Dao.

The Origin Secret Realm is even more terrifying. It is considered one of the top Secret Realm in the entire True Realm, and only a power like the Imperial Clan the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty can control it.

Inside, one can glimpse the Origin of all paths with the naked eye. Apart from the Nine Orders, all other paths can be easily captured and comprehended within!

If one can cultivate in the Origin Secret Realm for a long time, one might even be able to cultivate Prodigy with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal!

This is the ultimate foundation of a powerful force!

"The Emperor Chu has actually opened up a large portion of the Origin Secret Realm!"

"I've heard that in the Origin Secret Realm, even cultivators with third-rate talent can become top-tier geniuses!"

"Opening the Origin Secret Realm is no easy feat; the Great Dao is easily clouded. This is truly a huge investment!"

"In previous Southern Region Assembly Battle, we weren't this willing to sacrifice so much. If we had known this would happen, we would have used drugs to push them to the Immortal Lord Realm, which would have guaranteed them a spot."

The elders from each sect were all shocked, filled with regret and sorrow.

You guys are really lucky this time!

Inside the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect, Li Tiemu looked at Gu Yan and the others, and said excitedly:

"You must cultivate diligently in the Chaos Secret Realm and strive to obtain the opportunity to go to the Origin Secret Realm, otherwise the gap between you and Haotian will only widen infinitely!"

"If you could squeeze into this Origin Secret Realm, it would be better than thousands of years of arduous cultivation!"

Seeing Old Man Li's excited expression, even Yue Xi, who was still somewhat clueless about the matter, realized what a rare opportunity this was, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.

A light shone in Gu Yan's eyes, and his expression became resolute.

On the Immortal Platform, Li Hao was somewhat surprised to hear the surrounding discussions; it seemed the rewards this time were quite good.

However, I wonder if there will be any bonuses or improvements in comprehending Painting Dao, Chess, etc., within this Origin Secret Realm?

"Go in."

"That's what the Emperor Chu said."

The arc he drew grew enormous, and within it, one could vaguely see Secret Realm world.

Chu Tianhuang, who was standing at the front, did not Pause, put away the rewards, and rushed in first.

Others followed suit.

Seeing this, Li Hao had no choice but to follow them inside.

After they all went in, Zhang Xuanyu and the others who were at the back of the line quickly went in one by one.

A series of illusory sensations of spatial teleportation washed over him. When Li Hao opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast plain.

In front of the plain stood nine majestic towers.

At the end of that tower was a Chaos world of Cloudmist, like fog drifting on a precipice.

"Immortal Seal Tower."

A member of the Imperial Clan Whispers, a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

"This is the Chaos Secret Realm?"

Xing Lan looked around and immediately sensed a great difference from the outside world. In the plains, faint Great Dao Origin of the Great Dao's essence would occasionally sweep by, like a gentle breeze that could be easily grasped.

The delicate touch amazed her. Here, anyone with a decent comprehension could become Heavenly Prodigy!

"This is my first time visiting this Chaos Secret Realm. I've long admired your reputation. Has your Imperial Clan ever cultivated here before?"

Beside him, a rising star from the Illusory Sea Gate looked around and asked with a smile.

The Imperial Daughter closest to him glanced at him and said, "We've only heard of you, never been here. Although we're Imperial Clan, we've all gotten to where we are today through our own intelligence and understanding. Don't think we can only rely on resources and connections to bully you."

Hearing her words, the young man from the Illusory Sea Gate was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Don't be so sensitive. I didn't say anything; I was just asking casually."

"Snort."

The Imperial Daughter snorted coldly and ignored her.

"Everyone, choose! This is the Immortal Seal Tower. Whichever tower you have condensed the number of Immortal Seal you choose, that is the place to cultivate in the True Vow Secret Realm!"

At this moment, the middle-aged Imperial Clan, who was ranked third after Boya Xuejian, calmly spoke.

His demeanor exuded authority, inspiring a sense of conviction in others.

"Immortal Seal?"

Xing Lan exchanged glances with Li Hao and the others. Compared to the Imperial Clan, they clearly had far less information.

"What would happen if someone forcibly chose Immortal Seal Tower that surpassed their own Immortal Seal?" the young man from the Illusory Sea Gate asked.

"It's simple, you can't get in."

The middle-aged Imperial Clan said calmly.

The latter looked enlightened and nodded.

At this moment, more and more people were teleported into the plain. In the blink of an eye, Li Hao and his group were surrounded by disciples from various sects, as well as other Imperial Clan.

In the passage, accompanied by the roar of a dragon, Chu Xiangtian, riding on the Ancestral Dragon, also soared in.

He looked at the crowd gathered on the plain, listened to their whispered and curious discussions, and explained the matter of the Immortal Seal Tower and the Chaos Secret Realm ahead.

Upon hearing Chu Xiangtian's words, everyone realized that the nine towers before them were actually connected to the Origin Secret Realm.

"Time is too short, I'll go now."

The Imperial Daughter, her face showing impatience, waited for Chu Xiangtian to finish speaking before rushing towards the Immortal Seal Tower.

As soon as she set off, the others followed suit.
