Subduing the Saintess

Unlike the four great Holy Lands and four great Divine Dynasties, which were in opposition to each other, the three Eternal Families were more closely connected.

Soon, batches of people from their respective factions entered the Xuantian Secret Realm.

After the fifth batch of disciples from the Lihuo Holy Land entered the Xuantian Secret Realm, it was the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty's turn.

Gu Changge led the younger generation disciples of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty, as well as disciples from the Jade Pool Holy Land and Moon Worship Sacred Land, into the secret realm.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing the mission: Enter the Xuantian Secret Realm (1/1), reward: one Snowy Wave Crossbow (Emperor Grade Low Rank), 100 System Points."

The System's prompt sounded.

"System, extract the Snowy Wave Crossbow."

Gu Changge thought to himself, and a divine crossbow, entirely white, appeared in his hand.

The Snowy Wave Crossbow was an Emperor Artifact once used by the Snowy Wave Emperor. It did not require crossbow bolts, as it could form its own bolts made of spiritual energy when activated.

"Not bad, a good crossbow."

Gu Changge said to himself.

Upon entering the Xuantian Secret Realm, one could feel the rich spiritual energy washing over them. Gu Changge estimated that the spiritual energy density here could rival the Nine-Layered Emperor Grade Top Rank Spirit Gathering Formation set up in the cultivation core area of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty's imperial city.

"As expected of the secret realm created by the Profound Heaven Emperor, I suspect there's a peerless grand formation in the center of the secret realm, even more advanced than the Spirit Gathering Formation."

Gu Changge said.

Within the secret realm, due to the incomplete rules, teleportation was random upon entry. Unless one entered together, it was difficult to meet up after entering.

Gu Changge and his group were teleported to a spiritual mountain after entering the Xuantian Secret Realm.

"I wonder what Your Highness Changge intends to obtain after entering the secret realm, an Emperor Artifact or an Emperor Scripture?"

At this moment, Li Xianhan said to Gu Changge.

"I don't mind, whatever comes my way. If I encounter one or two Emperor Artifacts or Emperor Pills, that would be even better. If not, then so be it."

Because of the System's existence, Gu Changge had no worries about Emperor Artifacts or Emperor Pills, which was why he said this.

At this moment, Gu Changge checked today's daily missions.

Daily Missions:

(1): Obtain one Emperor Grade Pill (0/1) (2): Use one Emperor Grade Talisman (0/1) (3): Obtain one Emperor Grade Formation (0/1)

"It seems I need to find a way to get my hands on the core formation of the Xuantian Secret Realm."

Gu Changge said, looking at the mission panel.

In the Myriad Worlds, the environments within secret realms were varied. Some were mountain ranges stretching for tens of thousands of miles, some were archipelagos, some might be vast forests, and some might be deserts. The terrain of a secret realm was entirely at the whim of the Emperor who created it.

The terrain of this Xuantian Secret Realm was a mountain range, and the place where Gu Changge and the others were randomly descended upon was one of its peaks.

Within the secret realm, besides the more concentrated spiritual energy than the outside world, there were also many ferocious Demonic Beasts lurking, as well as unexpected traps.

"Our primary task now is to find the core of the secret realm."

Gu Changge said.

The core of the secret realm was hidden within it, being the most central area, responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the entire secret realm. Emperors would usually place their Emperor Weapons, Emperor Scriptures, and Emperor Pills there.

Thus, the group began to search the mountain peak for the core of the secret realm.

"Roar!"

At this moment, they encountered a group of Demonic Beasts, a pack of Golden Horned Horses.

Golden Horned Horses generally had a strength of the first or second level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. They were named for the golden horn on their heads.

"Everyone be careful. The disciples with strength, go hunt the Golden Horned Horses. Those without strength, stay to the side and don't get injured by them."

Gu Changge shouted.

Thus, the disciples below the Marrow Cleansing Realm hid to the side, while the disciples at the Marrow Cleansing Realm unleashed their strength and began to fight the Golden Horned Horses.

"Xiao Tian, Xiao Mo, Xiao Bing, Xiao Yan, come out."

Gu Changge waved his hand, summoning the Ink Profound Flood Dragon, Sky Winged Tiger, Frost Giant Wolf, and Flame Giant Wolf.

They all possessed strength at the fourth or fifth level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Facing these Golden Horned Horses, which were only at the first or second level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, they easily took down several of them.

"Roar!"

Just then, a more powerful roar came from not far away. A demonic horse with a golden horn on its head and a pair of golden wings flew over.

"Be careful, that's the Golden Horned Horse King!"

Gu Changge said.

The Golden Horned Horse King charged towards Su Luowei.

Seeing that the Golden Horned Horse King was about to collide with Su Luowei, Gu Changge quickly grabbed her and pulled her aside, dodging the attack.

"Thank, thank you."

Su Luowei's face flushed as she said to Gu Changge.

"There's no need to thank me. If you truly wish to repay me, why not become my maidservant."

Seizing the opportune moment after saving Su Luowei, Gu Changge spoke in order to complete the mission assigned to him by the System.

"Ah, this, it's not impossible..."

Su Luowei looked at the benefactor who had saved her life and said softly.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing the mission: Subdue the Yaochi Saintess as a maidservant (1/1), reward System Points 300."

The System's notification chimed.

"Your Highness Changge truly has good fortune, to be able to take in three Saintesses as maidservants."

At this moment, Li Xianhan said.

"Cough, cough, well, it's all about fate, fate."

Gu Changge rubbed his nose, saying somewhat sheepishly.

"Then how about I also become Your Highness Changge's maidservant? What do you think?"

Li Xianhan said.

"Miss Xianhan, please don't joke with me."

Gu Changge said.

"I'm not joking. Since you've already taken in the Saintesses from the three great Holy Lands, you won't mind one more. Right?"

Li Xianhan said seriously.

"Well, if Miss Xianhan insists on doing this, I cannot refuse."

Gu Changge said.

And so, Li Xianhan became Gu Changge's eighth maidservant.

Not long after, everyone had completely eliminated this pack of Golden Horned Horses. Gu Changge took out a small knife, cut off the golden horns of the pack of Golden Horned Horses, and put them into his storage bag.

These golden horns were excellent materials for refining Spirit Artifacts or setting up Spirit Arrays.

About another hour passed.

Finally, Gu Changge and his group found the core of the secret realm on a mountain peak.

"We've found the core of the secret realm!"

A disciple exclaimed in surprise.

A magnificent palace stood on this mountain peak.

Gu Changge and his group entered the palace.

But to their surprise, the great hall was packed with people, all disciples from various major forces.

"As I said before, it's every man for himself. But if you can't defend it, don't blame others."

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

At this moment, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Third Prince of the Yuhuang Divine Dynasty, Shen Changzhi. He quietly walked to the side of the Holy Son of the Tianshui Holy Land and the Holy Son of the Lihuo Holy Land, and said, "My lords, since you both harbor dissatisfaction towards Gu Changge, and my Yuhuang Divine Dynasty is an arch-rival of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty, why don't the three of us join forces to seize the treasures they have obtained?"
