Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm Opens, Everlasting Heaven Venerable's Inheritance Appears

Jiang Xuan's seclusion lasted only two days before coming to an abrupt end.

For two days later, sudden news shook the entire Northern Region.

The Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm, which had remained dormant for thousands of years in the Northern Region, had actually opened!

For a time, the entire Northern Region was shrouded in vast Dao resonance. Flowers of the Great Dao bloomed everywhere, and even the spiritual energy in the air grew several times denser!

Such a phenomenon instantly set the entire Northern Region ablaze.

The Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm was connected to Everlasting Heaven Venerable, a supreme figure who had emerged from the Northern Region in ancient times!

Everlasting Heaven Venerable had been the strongest prodigy, the greatest monster in Northern Region history. He had appeared in ancient times, swept aside all opposition, and shaken the entire Azure Firmament Realm with his might.

Later, he left the Azure Firmament Realm and became renowned throughout the Three Thousand Realms. Peerless in grace and unequaled beneath heaven, he attained the position of Great Emperor and became known to the world as Everlasting Heaven Venerable!

Even later on, no one knew just how powerful he truly was!

Yet that legendary figure had one day dragged his crippled body back to the Azure Firmament Realm, back to the Northern Region, and passed away upon the Northern Region Plateau.

When Everlasting Heaven Venerable fell, he left behind his final words: when the great era arrived, the inheritance he had left behind would open for those in later generations fated to receive it.

From then on, the Northern Region Plateau gained a new name—Everlasting Heaven!

No one set foot upon Everlasting Heaven, nor did anyone dare to.

For since ancient times, every person who set foot in Everlasting Heaven had died, without a single exception!

Thereafter, Everlasting Heaven became the Northern Region's most mysterious forbidden zone of life, isolated from the world, and no one dared entertain thoughts of the opportunities within.

Now that the Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm had opened, it not only signified the arrival of the great era, but also meant that a figure like Everlasting Heaven Venerable would rise against the heavens and embark upon the road to the summit!

Thus, as soon as the Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm opened, all manner of prodigies and powerful cultivators rushed toward it.

But news soon returned.

The Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm permitted only cultivators below the Great Ability Realm to enter.

Any cultivator above the Great Ability Realm who stepped inside would immediately be ground to dust by the terrifying laws of Everlasting Heaven!

This made everyone realize that Everlasting Heaven Venerable wished to leave his inheritance to young prodigies.

Thus, prodigies from the Northern Region, as well as the neighboring Eastern Wilderness and Western Desert, headed eagerly toward Everlasting Heaven, all seeking to contend for the opportunities within...

"Xuan'er, the great era has arrived. The Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm has opened, and Everlasting Heaven Venerable's inheritance is about to appear. Do you intend to contend for it?"

Within the Jiang Family's main hall, Jiang Wuhui watched Jiang Xuan and asked solemnly.

For a moment, the Jiang Family's elders all looked toward Jiang Xuan, awaiting his answer.

After all, within the entire Jiang Family now—

Among the younger generation, apart from Jiang Xuan, there was no second prodigy with the strength and talent to contend for the opportunities left behind by Everlasting Heaven Venerable.

As for the other prodigies, even if they went, they could only serve as foils.

To reduce the Jiang Family's losses among its prodigies, the elders had agreed not to let them take the risk.

"I'm going."

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Xuan answered.

After hearing the information regarding Everlasting Heaven Venerable and the Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm, he immediately became incomparably certain.

That opportunity existed for me alone!

As a man with a system, if I did not fight for an opportunity placed right before my eyes, wouldn't that make me useless?

"Xuan'er, have you thought this through? Everlasting Heaven is fraught with danger on every side. Countless cultivators entered it and never came back out; they have likely all become piles of bones."

Jiang Wuhui looked deeply at Jiang Xuan as he spoke.

"Little Xuan, you truly must consider this carefully. The dangers within Everlasting Heaven are such that even this ancestor does not dare set foot there."

At that moment, an aged voice rang through the hall.

It was none other than the Jiang Family's Ninth Ancestor, Jiang Ruochen.

"Ninth Ancestor!"

Everyone respectfully bowed to Jiang Ruochen.

Jiang Ruochen went straight to Jiang Xuan. With one step, he arrived at Jiang Xuan's side and stared at him.

"Little Xuan, have you considered this carefully?"

"Those who cultivate the Dao should establish lofty aspirations. If I do something, I will be the strongest; if I contend, I will contend for first place. You all say my talent is exceptional, so how can I halt in my tracks and retreat because of a little difficulty?"

Jiang Xuan looked at everyone with a faint smile. After speaking, he paused briefly before continuing.

"Ninth Ancestor, Father, elders, my mind is made up. There is no need to say more. If I, Jiang Xuan, cannot become the strongest in this life, then I will have betrayed my talent!"

Jiang Xuan's voice was like a great bell, booming through the hall and echoing in the ears of Jiang Ruochen, Jiang Wuhui, and the Jiang Family elders, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

Become the strongest!

What lofty ambition!

Everyone stared fixedly at that unruly figure in the center of the hall, and towering waves surged through their hearts.

For one fleeting instant, they seemed to truly see the scene of Jiang Xuan standing at the summit in the near future, looking down upon all things!

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, an incomparably hearty laugh rang through the hall.

The Ninth Ancestor laughed brightly.

"Little Xuan, worthy indeed of being a son of my Jiang Family! Since your heart holds such grand ambition, we will no longer stop you. Go and contend with all your strength! Even if you fail to obtain the result you desire in the end, at the very least, you will have no regrets!"

"Xuan'er, then... go! Your father will always believe in you!"

Jiang Wuhui said with a bright smile as well.

"Worthy indeed of our Young Master. Such ambition is far beyond anything we can reach!"

"I believe that with Young Master's terrifying talent and strength, he will surely ascend Everlasting Heaven, seize its opportunity, obtain its inheritance, and shake the world with his name!"

The Jiang Family elders also laughed.

"Everyone, I will return safely. I'm off!"

Jiang Xuan laughed heartily and stepped out through the gates. Under everyone's expectant gazes, his figure gradually disappeared into the horizon.

"Xuan'er, be careful in all things!"

Jiang Wuhui continued calling after him, his eyes having become wet at some unknown moment.

This was entirely unlike his usual majesty. It was the tender revelation of a father's earnest hopes for his son.

Seeing the tears on Jiang Wuhui's face, everyone could not help but sigh softly.

Even a God King had moments when he shed tears!

"Wuhui, rest assured. Little Xuan's talent is the greatest I have ever seen in my life. Even those so-called Great Emperors of ancient times pale far in comparison to Little Xuan. He will return safely."

Jiang Ruochen walked to Jiang Wuhui's side and gently patted his shoulder as he spoke.

"Mm! Xuan'er will definitely return safely!"

Jiang Wuhui nodded heavily.

At the same time, within the Heavenly Demon Sect—

Leng Lingshuang was also bidding farewell to Sect Master Lian Nishang.

"Ling Shuang, are you truly going to Everlasting Heaven? The danger there is unimaginable. I'm worried about you."

Lian Nishang gently took Leng Lingshuang's hand and asked softly.

Lian Nishang did not care about the others.

But Leng Lingshuang had been by her side since childhood.

To her, rather than being her disciple, Leng Lingshuang was more like her daughter.

Thus, she was incomparably worried about Leng Lingshuang's journey, afraid of losing the person closest to her.

"Sect Master, the great era has arrived. I must contend!"

Leng Lingshuang nodded, her voice incomparably resolute.

With the enhancement of various means, her cultivation had already reached the Fifth Heaven of Dragon Transformation Realm.

And with such cultivation, Leng Lingshuang was already certain that she was invincible below the Great Ability Realm.

Therefore, she was determined to obtain the opportunity within the Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm!

"Since your mind is made up, then go. Be careful in all things, and you must return safely."

Lian Nishang's eyes reddened slightly as she spoke softly.

"Rest assured, Sect Master. I am no longer that little girl from before. I can already stand on my own."

A stir rose in Leng Lingshuang's heart, and she smiled faintly.

"Give me some time, and I will lead the Heavenly Demon Sect to the utmost glory!"

Having said that, Leng Lingshuang turned around, preparing to leave the Heavenly Demon Sect for Everlasting Heaven.

"Ling Shuang, with Everlasting Heaven opening this time, Jiang Xuan will surely go as well. Your chance has come."

At that moment, Lian Nishang spoke.

"He is going too?"

Leng Lingshuang's red robes fluttered. The Other Shore Flower mark between her brows was incomparably brilliant as she said coldly.

"I will make him remain in Everlasting Heaven forever!"

As her words fell, Leng Lingshuang's body became a dazzling streak of rainbow light and vanished from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

For a time, peerless geniuses and prodigies from every major force set out for Everlasting Heaven.

A great struggle was inevitable!
