Xuantian Secret Realm

Gu Changge naturally could not expose the matter of the system, so he could only make up an excuse to brush it off.

"Changge, a secret realm has appeared in the Southern Region. It is called the Xuantian Secret Realm. The major powers have agreed that each force may only send disciples at the Marrow Cleansing Realm or below. Are you interested?"

Gu Changge's mother, Su Yurou, asked.

Secret realms were extradimensional spaces that only Great Emperors could create. They possessed a self-formed set of rules, and they might contain Emperor Artifacts once used by Great Emperors, as well as emperor-tier treasures such as Emperor Scriptures and emperor pills. Once one opened, countless forces would fight over it.

There were many secret realms throughout the Myriad Worlds. They had been created by generations of Great Emperors to benefit all living beings and leave behind their inheritances, so that their legacies would not die without successors.

"Of course."

Gu Changge said.

"Then you will lead the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty's disciples on this expedition."

Gu Zhantian said.

"Yes."

Gu Changge said.

At that moment, the system notification sounded once more.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a random mission: Enter the Xuantian Secret Realm (0/1)."

Since this trip to the secret realm required him to bring the younger generation of disciples from the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty, Gu Changge did not choose to ride in his White Jade Chariot and instead traveled with everyone else.

"Yuechun, Yuexia, Yueqiu, Yuedong, stay at the Prince's Mansion. Yanran and Yingluo, come with me to the secret realm to train."

Gu Changge instructed.

Then Gu Changge's group waited at the border of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty for the arrival of their allies, the disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

Before long, the Jade Pool Holy Land's Saintess, Su Luowei, arrived with a group of Jade Pool Holy Land disciples and joined the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty's disciples.

"You are Gu Changge, the Eleventh Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty, aren't you?"

Su Luowei said.

"That's right. Then you must be Su Luowei, the Saintess of the Jade Pool Holy Land."

Gu Changge said to the Jade Pool Saintess before him.

In truth, this was not his first time meeting Su Luowei. After all, Gu Changge was the son of the Jade Pool Holy Land's Holy Lord. Su Yurou had arranged for them to meet in private more than once.

Su Yurou had always tried to match the two of them together, hoping they would become companions.

However, Gu Changge had never been interested in the matter, which left Su Luowei deeply dissatisfied and made their conversation somewhat cold.

Still, with the bigger picture in mind, the two followed the proper formalities and exchanged greetings.

Yet, as if by design, after seeing Su Luowei, the system issued another mission that left Gu Changge rather speechless.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a random mission: Subdue the Jade Pool Saintess as a maid (0/1)."

System, are you messing with me? This isn't some other Saintess—she's the Saintess of my mother's holy land.

Gu Changge complained to the system inwardly.

However, the system ignored Gu Changge.

Fine, fine. Taking in two Saintesses is taking them in; taking in three is about the same.

Gu Changge thought to himself.

At this time, some traveled atop flying bird-type Demonic Beasts, some flew on swords, and some directly propelled themselves through the air with Spiritual Power. Two hours later, everyone arrived at the entrance to the Xuantian Secret Realm.

The entrance to the Xuantian Secret Realm was packed with people.

In the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, the great hegemonic forces were collectively known as the "Four Divine Dynasties, Four Holy Lands, and Three Great Families." The Four Divine Dynasties were the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty, Yuhuang Divine Dynasty, Liuli Divine Dynasty, and Shihun Divine Dynasty. The Four Holy Lands were the Tianshui Holy Land, Lihuo Holy Land, Moon Worship Sacred Land, and Jade Pool Holy Land. The Three Great Families were the Longevity Li Family, Longevity Wang Family, and Longevity Zhao Family.

"Junior Sister, why are you here?"

Just then, a delighted voice rang out. Gu Changge looked over and saw that it was the newly appointed Holy Son of the Lihuo Holy Land.

"Junior Sister, you're here too?"

At this moment, the newly appointed Holy Son of the Tianshui Holy Land also spotted Ling Yanran and spoke.

"Senior Brother, I am already His Highness's maid. Please conduct yourself with respect."

Ling Yanran said coldly.

"That's right. Sister Yanran and I are already servants of His Highness the Prince. If Senior Brother has come to persuade me to return, then please go back."

With an icy, distant attitude that kept others a thousand miles away, Jiang Yingluo said to the Lihuo Holy Son.

"That's right. The two of them are already my maids. They have nothing to do with either of you now, so please do not come bother us for no reason."

Gu Changge said.

"Hmph."

The Lihuo Holy Son and Tianshui Holy Son were clearly dissatisfied with their holy lands' earlier decisions, but they had nothing to say.

"Your Highness the Prince truly has refined tastes. Three Saintesses as beautiful as immortals accompany you. Do you still remember me?"

At that moment, a soft and charming female voice drifted over. Gu Changge focused his gaze and saw that it was Li Xianhan, the Saintess of the Moon Worship Sacred Land whom he had saved in the Cangyun Mountain Range.

"Miss Xianhan, what are you saying? They are merely my companions. I have no improper thoughts toward them."

Gu Changge said.

"So you do remember me."

Li Xianhan said with a hint of resentment.

"Damn it. Four Saintesses are circling around that brat. That brat really has luck with women."

The Third Prince of the Yuhuang Divine Dynasty, Shen Changzhi, said indignantly from the side.

Looking at those around him, they were all brawny, burly men, forming a stark contrast to the orioles singing and swallows dancing around Gu Changge.

"Ahem. Everyone, let us discuss personal matters another day. What matters most now is entering the secret realm."

At this moment, Li Qianzheng, heir of the Longevity Li Family, said.

Only then did everyone shift their attention to the Xuantian Secret Realm.

"It's simple. The secret realm contains countless treasures. Whoever snatches one, it belongs to them. As for whether they can keep it, that is another matter entirely."

Wang Xinze, heir of the Longevity Wang Family, said.

"That may be true, but we still need to decide the order in which we enter the secret realm."

Zhao Zongqing, heir of the Longevity Zhao Family, said.

"Our Shihun Divine Dynasty will go in first."

Lu Jinxin, the Second Prince of the Shihun Divine Dynasty, said.

No one objected. After all, the first to enter would not necessarily obtain the treasures, and they could conveniently scout the way for everyone else.

"Then our Liuli Divine Dynasty will enter second."

Yu Ningyan, the Third Princess of the Liuli Divine Dynasty, said.

"Our Yuhuang Divine Dynasty will enter third."

Shen Changzhi said.

At this point, everyone focused their eyes on Gu Changge.

Of the Four Divine Dynasties, three had already made their stance clear. Only the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty remained.

"I don't mind."

Gu Changge said.

"Our Moon Worship Sacred Land will go with the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."

Li Xianhan said at this moment.

"Our Jade Pool Holy Land will also go with the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."

Su Luowei said.

"Then our Tianshui Holy Land will enter fourth."

The new Holy Son of the Tianshui Holy Land said.

"Our Lihuo Holy Land will enter fifth."

The new Holy Son of the Lihuo Holy Land said.

"Our Eternal Families will enter last."

Li Qianzheng said.
