"Good...!"
Thinking of the sect, the disciples within it, and the attitude of these people before him, Qi Zhengliu knew that this was probably the final ultimatum.
He could only grit his teeth and reluctantly agree.
There's no way.
If we don't agree, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep this last token.
Now, at least we have secured the same priority in exploration.
At the very least, this hasn't changed.
The rest...
Let's get through this first.
I promise you!
After saying those words, Qi Zhengliu felt as if all his strength had been drained away.
His shoulders slumped, and he looked ten years older in an instant.
But then, Qi Zhengliu spoke again.
"I agree, but I have one condition!"
"At this point, I can back down."
"But if our Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect's group at Heaven-Gazing Ridge wins this time, each of the three of you must hand over a Heaven-Gazing Token!"
Heaven-Gazing Ridge is a gamble on the pride of heaven.
The image of the saintess he had carefully nurtured flashed through Qi Zhengliu's mind.
He was extremely confident about this trip to the secret realm, hence his wide-open eyes and open mouth.
"Fellow Daoists, do you dare!?"
Upon hearing these words, both Jiang Bo of the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect and the leaders of the other two sects smiled in unison.
His smile held only mockery and a hint of indifference.
The trump card of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect...
They know.
Isn't that the saintess?
That saintess is indeed talented, but don't underestimate them.
The true geniuses within their sect have never been revealed, nor have they ever been known to the outside world.
Does Qi Zhengliu really think he can win just because of their sect's holy maiden?
That's truly a pipe dream.
That's incredibly naive.
Compared to the prodigies they've kept hidden for so many years, the Holy Maiden of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect can only be described in four words.
A world of difference!
certainly.
The clouds, naturally, represent them.
mud...
it goes without saying.
The Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect came for the inheritance of Heaven-Gazing Ridge.
Aren't they the same?
Who isn't here to unlock the legacy of the final domain lord, bringing out the full strength of their sect?
Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect?
Oh!
"Of course." Jiang Bo opened his eyes, spoke calmly, his smile undiminished. "I can promise you, if your Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect wins first place this time, how about I give you one of my Heavenly Heaven-Gazing Token?"
"This is all for the benefit of the entire Heaven-Gazing Domain. It makes no difference to me who holds the token."
After he finished speaking, he immediately won the favor of many people below, and their eyes looked at him with even more admiration.
Qi Zhengliu could clearly hear the discussions among the other cultivators below.
"As expected of the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect."
"Sect Leader Jiang of the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect truly possesses remarkable magnanimity. It is precisely this kind of magnanimity that makes him worthy of being the leader of the number one sect in our Heaven-Gazing Domain."
"Indeed, Sect Leader Jiang is truly magnanimous."
Each word that reached Qi Zhengliu's ears only made him want to laugh sarcastically.
atmosphere?
He was just pretending to be generous because he felt that the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect would never take away the token in his hand.
Let's wait and see.
If the three tokens in his hand were reduced to two, Jiang Bo would definitely react more strongly than anyone else.
Jiang Bo, Jiang Bo.
Such indifference to fame and fortune.
hehe.
He wanted to see if Jiang Bo could still be so indifferent then!
The sect leader of the Azure Soaring Daoist Sect lowered his eyes, as if the lotus flower on the hem of his robe contained Great Dao principles, and spoke calmly without raising his head.
"Can."
The sect leader of the Divine Nether Sect simply smiled.
"What do I have to be afraid of? It's a deal!"
"Sect Leader Qi, may we now invite him?"
"Give me the order!"
Qi Zhengliu calmed down at this point, took one of his tokens, tossed it to Lei Mingzi, and without even looking at Lei Mingzi, directly channeled his Spiritual Power into the token.
Jiang Bo slowly withdrew his gaze, then channeled his Spiritual Power into the token and released his grip on it.
The tokens held by the five people were successively inserted into the altar.
The next moment.
The altar shone brightly.
With a deafening roar.
The Heaven-Gazing Secret Realm is now open!
The secret realm opened, Spiritual Qi burst forth, showering everyone's faces.
Gone is the oppressive aura of a thousand years ago; only the rich, pure spirit remains.
Joy spread across countless faces.
At that moment, the same thought simultaneously arose in everyone's mind.
This time...
The legacy within Heaven-Gazing Ridge might actually be able to be extracted.
If that's the case, the situation in the Heaven-Gazing Domain... is truly about to change!
The five major sects descended into the altar in turn.
The points on the altar that represented directions dimmed one by one.
Meanwhile, within the secret realm, figures appeared in various locations in different directions, and the exploration of the secret realm officially began!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The exploration within the secret realm is in full swing.
Lin Xuan's life can be described in four words: almost identical.
Dire straits!
"... Lin Xuan?"
"Hey, I'm talking to you, but you're not listening."
"Hmph, let me tell you, the one who made the move just now was my Qin Household's Fourth Elder. My Fourth Grandfather is at the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm, isn't that amazing?"
"Our ancestor has come this time too, but unfortunately, he and I got separated. However, I should be worried about myself, not our ancestor, since his strength is at the Late Saint Realm!"
Even Sect Master Qi of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect thinks highly of our ancestor.
"If this opportunity fortuitous opportunity, perhaps even the Ancestor can achieve the Great Saint and go to the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect to seek the position of Peak Master!"
Hehe~
"By the way, don't underestimate the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect just because of the previous conflict between the four major sects. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect is still the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect. Besides, I don't think the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect will lose this time."
"Hey, did you even hear me talking to you?!"
Lin Xuan rubbed his nose helplessly and nodded at the chattering Qin Meier.
You're right.
"I don't think the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect will fail this time either."
In return, she received a soft snort from Qin Meier.
"Snort!"
"Perfunctory!"
"But... never mind, I'll forgive you because you're so handsome."
"But I really didn't expect that we would meet here. Speaking of which, where have you been since we last parted? I've been looking for you for so long and haven't been able to find you."
Looking at the handsome young man in white before her, Qin Meier's eyes were full of admiration.
After that day at the Qin Household pavilion, she never saw Lin Xuan again. She had tried to find out where Lin Xuan was, but it was as if he had vanished into thin air.
I never expected to meet him in this secret realm.
After a long absence, his aura seemed even more solid.
Moreover, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, making him a million times more pleasing to the eye than those so-called world disciples.
No wonder he's the man Qin Meier has her eye on!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled somewhat helplessly.
He hadn't expected that after the teleportation, he wouldn't encounter anyone from any sect, but instead would run into the Qin Household from Azure Wave City.
It's still the same Qin Meier.
He couldn't say he liked Qin Meier, but he didn't dislike her either.
That's interesting.
It was fate.
