Secret Realm Opens

Secret Realm Opens

"Tch, I was wondering how so many people had learned that this secret realm was about to open. So it really was your Mittel Family from the Gama Empire stirring things up!

What, you think gathering all the forces of your Gama Empire means you can contend with our Falling Goose Empire?

Luckily, I had already guessed your intentions, so I likewise gathered all the forces of the Falling Goose Empire.

Now, the advantage still lies with our Falling Goose Empire!"

When the group from the Gama Empire arrived, a middle-aged man stepped out from the Falling Goose Empire's side and spoke with a mocking expression.

This middle-aged man was Yan Luotian, the sect master of the Golden Goose Sect, currently the strongest force in the Falling Goose Empire!

Unlike when he appeared after the original plot began, already possessing the strength of a Two-Star Dou Zong—

At this time, Yan Luotian was only a Nine-Star Dou Emperor, on par with Yun Shan, the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Gama Empire.

The reason Yan Luotian and Yun Shan's cultivation levels later diverged after the original plot began was not because Yun Shan had inferior talent.

It was simply because the Golden Goose Sect possessed an Earth Rank cultivation method, while the highest cultivation method of the current Misty Cloud Sect was merely high-grade Profound Rank.

Restricted by the rank of the cultivation method he practiced, Yun Shan's cultivation was later stuck at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor realm—and remained stuck there for decades.

Think about it. The people who had originally been around his level gradually pulled ahead, while he himself remained trapped at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Emperor. How could Yun Shan's mind not gradually become twisted?

Yun Shan's situation was actually very similar to Intel Mo Ya of the Intel Lineage earlier on.

At the beginning, they had clearly both been normal people.

But as their cultivation became stuck while those who had once been roughly equal to them broke through one after another, other thoughts naturally began to arise in their minds.

In the end, Intel Mo Ya betrayed his country, and the Intel Lineage was divided up.

In the original work, Yun Shan eventually went mad enough to collude with the Soul Hall, after which the Misty Cloud Sect was disbanded.

One could only say that hateful people must have something pitiful about them!

Of course, Yun Shan had only recently broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Emperor realm. He had not yet endured decades of being stuck at its peak, so he had naturally not become the obsessive madman from the original work.

In fact, this was still the most high-spirited period of Yun Shan's life!

Thus, when Yan Luotian, sect master of the Golden Goose Sect of the Falling Goose Empire, stepped forward to pressure them with his presence, Yun Shan took the initiative to step out from the Gama Empire's side and shield everyone from that pressure.

"Yan Luotian, you still love playing those despicable little tricks. So what if your Falling Goose Empire is a little stronger?

Do you intend to start a war with our Gama Empire before we even enter the secret realm?"

Yun Shan unleashed his full aura as well, showing not the slightest fear of Yan Luotian.

Moreover, from their conversation, it was not difficult to tell that they were old acquaintances.

Still, that was only natural.

After all, aside from bordering the Cloud Empire, the Gama Empire also bordered the Falling Goose Empire.

Thus, there had always been considerable friction between the two nations.

And since the Misty Cloud Sect and Golden Goose Sect were respectively the strongest forces in their own empires, Yun Shan and Yan Luotian naturally knew each other.

It was just that their acquaintance was obviously far from friendly.

"So it's Yun Shan. I didn't expect you to have broken through to Nine-Star Dou Emperor as well. It seems that even though part of your Misty Cloud Sect's inheritance has been lost, you're still not bad."

Seeing Yun Shan step forward, Yan Luotian immediately sneered back at him.

However, Yan Luotian was no fool. He would not take Yun Shan's bait.

Just as Yun Shan had said, the Falling Goose Empire was indeed somewhat stronger. But if they fought the people of the Gama Empire before entering the secret realm, the result would undoubtedly be mutual destruction.

By then, no one would be able to obtain the resources within the secret realm.

Therefore, the best choice was to wait until the secret realm opened before competing for them.

When that time came, whoever could obtain the opportunities within would depend on their own methods!

"Hmph, I can't compare to you, Great Sect Master Yan. You don't even understand the principle of first come, first served. This secret realm was clearly discovered first by the Mittel Family of our Gama Empire, yet you shamelessly want to seize it by force. How utterly shameless!"

It had to be said that Yun Shan was quite skilled at insulting people.

After the two sides exchanged a few more rounds of trash talk, they each returned to their respective groups.

There were still several hours before the secret realm opened. There was no point in arguing here now; they might as well focus all their energy on what would happen after it opened.

Time slowly passed as both sides waited quietly.

At this moment, everyone could see a giant formation in the distance.

However, the light on the surface of this giant formation had begun flickering erratically.

Clearly, this giant formation had already reached its limit and was about to collapse on its own.

At the same time, everyone around them began rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Once the formation broke, everyone would surely rush inside.

"Once the formation breaks, the Dou Emperors of our Gama Empire, along with several Battle Kings including myself, will charge toward the very center of the secret realm.

Your responsibility will be to search the outer regions of the secret realm.

This journey into the secret realm is an opportunity for all of you, but it will also be accompanied by trials.

If you perish inside, then you will have died for nothing. No one will pity you.

For fledglings to grow, this is something they must experience!

Of course, even so, I still hope that when this journey into the secret realm ends, I will see every one of you alive before me.

That is all I have to say. Make your preparations now!"

Before the secret realm's protective formation completely shattered, Xiao Lin came before the members of the Xiao Household and instructed them.

"Yes! ×n"

A uniform chorus of responses rang out.

The same scene was taking place elsewhere as well.

At this moment, everyone was both nervous and excited.

After another half hour or so passed, the flickering protective formation finally vanished completely with a soft "pop."

"Charge!"

No one knew who had shouted the command, but in the next instant, the Dou Emperors and Battle King experts from the Gama Empire and the Falling Goose Empire rushed out almost immediately.

Xiao Lin was naturally among them.

However, in order to maintain his apparent strength as a One-Star Battle King, his speed naturally lagged behind the Dou Emperor experts from both sides.

As for the forces from the smaller nations, their strongest members were merely Battle Kings.

And among them, the fastest person was none other than Yan Luotian, sect master of the Golden Goose Sect of the Falling Goose Empire!

Although his current strength was roughly equal to Yun Shan's, his speed truly surpassed everyone else by a considerable margin.

At this moment, he had already chosen a path and was charging far ahead toward the central region of the secret realm.

One glance at this secret realm was enough to determine that it was likely an abandoned sect from some bygone era.

All around stood countless ruined walls and collapsed structures, as well as pavilions that were either damaged or still intact.

Those intact pavilions were especially the places everyone focused on.

Of course, the best treasures were most likely hidden within the main hall at the center.

This was also the main reason Yan Luotian wanted to seize the initiative.

At this moment, Yun Shan was following not far behind him.

As for the other Dou Emperors and Battle King experts, they too each chose a path and continued advancing toward the central main hall.

It should be mentioned that for this journey into the secret realm, the Gama Empire had dispatched all four of its Dou Emperor experts, while the Falling Goose Empire had sent one more, deploying five Dou Emperor experts!

And one additional Dou Emperor expert could often create a decisive advantage for one's nation!

This was also the main reason the Falling Goose Empire was not afraid to compete with the Gama Empire within the secret realm.

Because the Falling Goose Empire was stronger!

At this moment, there was also a Battle King expert from the Falling Goose Empire on the path Xiao Lin had chosen.

"Heh, we're taking the same road? Looks like I'll have to kill a Battle King first to get things started today."

After glancing back at the Battle King expert from the Falling Goose Empire who was steadily closing in on him, a cruel smile inadvertently appeared on Xiao Lin's face.

The Battle King expert from the Falling Goose Empire, who was tracking Xiao Lin from behind, had no idea that he had already been placed on Xiao Lin's kill list.

Of course, that was only normal.

After all, that Battle King expert from the Falling Goose Empire was a Five-Star Battle King, while in his eyes, Xiao Lin was merely a One-Star Battle King.

He had come on this journey into the secret realm specifically to hunt!

In his heart, Xiao Lin was already a dead man as well.

That was what the Five-Star Battle King expert from the Falling Goose Empire thought.
