Void Realm Opens, Heroes Vie for Supremacy!

Following True Person Tianbo's announcement.

The disciples of the Seven Outer Courtyards were all stirred up, each one eager to have a go.

"Hm?"

Chen Changqing saw this, frowned slightly, and pondered to himself.

I thought the Grand Competition would be held in a tournament format.

I didn't expect it to be a challenge-based mode.

It's just entering the Void Realm to slay Realm Beasts, so why do they all look so excited?

As he spoke, Chen Changqing swept his gaze across his surroundings.

He could see that many of the participating disciples from various courtyards had fiery looks in their eyes.

"Rumble!"

At this moment, the portal to the Void Realm in the sky had completely swung open.

Looking into it, chaotic energy surged, and one could vaguely see mountains, rivers, and towering ancient trees within.

Seeing this, Qingyang's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

It was not hard to see that Qingyang was exceptionally agitated.

Chen Changqing naturally noticed Qingyang's expression, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

Before he could even speak, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and asked with a soft, puzzled tone:

"Senior Brother, what is this about?"

Qingyang took a deep breath, swept his gaze over Liu Ruyan and the others, and then explained:

"Junior Sister Ruyan, you have just entered Mount Shu, and this is your first time participating in the Outer Sect Grand Competition."

"Naturally, you don't know the unique aspects of this Void Realm."

After Qingyang said this, everyone immediately became interested.

"Senior Brother, isn't it just entering the Void Realm to slay Realm Beasts?"

"Could there be something else special about it?"

"..."

Qingyang narrowed his eyes and, without keeping them in suspense, said directly:

"This Void Realm is no ordinary place; it is a small world opened up by a Spirit Transformation powerhouse of our Mount Shu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits trembled, and they all gasped in unison.

"Spirit Transformation?"

"That is an existence beyond the Nascent Soul stage!"

"An alternate space opened by such a powerhouse must be extraordinary!"

"Senior Brother Qingyang, what exactly is so special about it?"

Qingyang let out a long breath and continued:

"You only know that there are Realm Beasts in the Void Realm, but you don't know that there are countless opportunities within it."

"Spiritual herbs, ancient treasures, inheritances... they are too numerous to count."

"There was even a disciple who once obtained a Spirit Treasure inside!"

"During the last Grand Competition, a disciple from the Second Courtyard found an Ancient Sword Manual in the depths of the Void Realm and was promoted directly to the Inner Sect."

Speaking of this, a flash of fervor crossed Qingyang's eyes.

Chen Changqing and the others were all shocked upon hearing this.

"No way!"

"There are even Spirit Treasures?"

"Is what Senior Brother Qingyang said true?"

"..."

The crowd was incredibly excited; one had to know that they only possessed Dharma Artifacts.

Above Dharma Artifacts were Dharma Treasures, and Spirit Treasures were even superior to Dharma Treasures.

Above that, there were Immortal Treasures.

No one had expected that such treasures would exist within the Void Realm.

Beyond that, the spiritual herbs, inheritances, and other items also made everyone's hearts race.

Hearing this, Chen Changqing immediately became interested as well.

So there are this many good things inside the Void Realm?

"No wonder so many people looked so impatient after seeing the Void Realm open."

"It seems that entering the Void Realm this time, I must not only slay Realm Beasts but also search for any other opportunities."

Just as Chen Changqing was pondering this to himself, Qingyang nodded and continued:

"The reason I gave up entering the Inner Sect was precisely to enter the Void Realm once more and take a gamble!"

"Perhaps this time, I will be able to obtain a great opportunity from within!"

After Qingyang said this, everyone suddenly realized the truth.

During the last Outer Sect Grand Competition, Qingyang had ranked in the top twenty, earning the qualification to enter the Inner Sect.

But strangely.

In the end, he did not choose to enter the Inner Sect, but instead continued to stay in the Seven Courtyards.

This matter had made many disciples of the Seven Courtyards feel puzzled.

After all, entering the Inner Sect was far better than cultivating in the Outer Courtyard.

Now, as Qingyang revealed the truth, everyone finally understood that what Qingyang was after were the treasures and inheritances within the Void Realm.

Hearing this, Chen Changqing muttered to himself:

"So that's how it is."

I was wondering, with Senior Brother Qingyang's strength, wouldn't cultivating in the Inner Sect be much better than staying in the Outer Courtyard?

I wonder what I will be able to gain from this trip to the Void Realm?

At this thought, Chen Changqing's eyes were filled with longing and anticipation.

Just then, Elder Liu Mu turned to look at Chen Changqing and the others, saying with a solemn expression:

"Each courtyard may send forty people into the Void Realm. Once you enter, you must remain united."

"Yes, Elder!"

Hearing what Elder Liu Mu said, the disciples replied in unison.

"Forty people?"

Chen Changqing was slightly surprised. Three days ago at the Seven Courtyards, Elder Liu Mu and two deacons had announced the list of ten people from the Seven Courtyards participating in this Outer Sect Grand Competition.

He had assumed that only the ten of them would be entering the Void Realm.

He had not expected the number to be increased to forty.

Seeing the confused look on Chen Changqing's face, Qingyang smiled and explained:

"Junior Brother Chen."

"The ten people previously selected by the Seven Courtyards are our elites; the remaining thirty were chosen from the ordinary disciples."

"I think you should understand that the elites carry more expectations."

"The Seven Courtyards are not just sending the ten of us into the Void Realm."

After Qingyang explained it this way, Chen Changqing immediately understood.

According to Senior Brother Qingyang, there are many opportunities within this Void Realm.

But since only disciples enter it each time, there must be restrictions on entering the Void Realm.

Otherwise, the big shots of Mount Shu would have surely entered the fray themselves long ago!

Just as Chen Changqing was deep in thought, True Person Tianbo, who was hovering in mid-air, spoke up:

"The Void Realm has been completely opened!"

"Outer Sect disciples participating in this competition may enter."

Following True Person Tianbo's announcement, the disciples of each courtyard took to their swords one after another and flew into the Void Realm.

Chen Changqing and the others were no exception.

The moment he entered the Void Realm, a system notification rang out in Chen Changqing's mind:

[Ding!]

[Idle blessed land detected.]

[Idle cultivation speed increased by onefold.]

[Do you wish to change the idle location?]

"Change!"

Chen Changqing didn't even think about it and chose to change immediately.

So the idle location can also be changed; to think there's such a good thing.

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Qingyang and the others had already scattered.

"Junior Brother Chen, good luck!"

Liu Ruyan gave Chen Changqing a charming smile, then transformed into a streak of light and headed into the distance.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing did not mind.

He knew very well that if the goal were merely to slay Realm Beasts, acting in a group would be safer and carry less risk.

However, within this Void Realm, there were not only Realm Beasts but also numerous opportunities.

Under such circumstances, everyone naturally preferred to act alone.

An innocent man is guilty only because of his treasure.

If one were to obtain some treasure or inheritance and it became known to others, that would be far from ideal.

Coming back to his senses, Chen Changqing picked a random direction and flew off on his sword.

He had not been flying for long when a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from ahead.

"ROAR!"

Chen Changqing halted and looked toward the sound, only to see a pitch-black, wolf-like demonic beast lunging fiercely at him.
