The Desolate Ancient City Secret Realm Opens

"What important matter brings you all here to pay your respects to this old man?"

Inside the courtyard, the headmaster looked at the nine disciples he had mentored, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

The nine people said in unison, "Sir, we wish to enter the Holy Institute to cultivate. Please grant us permission."

Upon hearing this, the dean was taken aback. These guys had only just broken through to the Half-Saint Realm a few days ago and hadn't even brought fame to the Dao-Seeking Academy yet, so why were they so eager to enter the Holy Institute to cultivate?

Could it be that Little Feng discouraged him?

Little Feng doesn't seem to have made a move either.

The nine leaders are extremely frustrated right now. They chose to go into seclusion in order to be able to stand on equal footing with Chu Feng.

As a result, he had just broken through to the Half-Saint when he was brutally beaten up by his senior brother, Golden Wing. What was most infuriating was that after beating him up, that guy left behind a harsh remark. "With your level of skill, you should practice more and stop trying to preach like others."

The seven people besides the Carefree Great Sage were all frustrated; they hadn't preached either!

Remembering the fear they felt when they first entered the Dao-Seeking Academy and were dominated by Senior Brother Golden Wing, the nine of them unanimously came to pay their respects to the Dean and entered the Holy Institute to cultivate according to the procedure.

The dean said, "Are you sure you want to enter the Holy Institute to cultivate, without choosing your own successors?"

The Carefree Great Sage stepped forward first. "Reporting to the master, I have already chosen a successor, Elder Bing, to take over my position and lead the Heavenly Spirit Institute."

The dean nodded slightly. "I will discuss this matter with the Holy Institute. Do you have any candidates in mind?"

The other eight shook their heads in unison, saying, "None of the academies we manage have suitable candidates, so let's hand them over to the young people of the Holy Institute."

The dean said calmly, "Very well, since you have decided to go to the Holy Institute to cultivate diligently, then I will proceed according to the procedure. You will enter the Holy Institute in three months. Before that, make all necessary arrangements."

"Promise."

Everyone responded in unison, and then took their leave one by one.

On Miaomiao Mountain.

Great Sage Golden Wing stretched his body and appeared beside Chu Feng.

"Brother Feng, do you think I could take on nine of them at once?"

Chu Feng knew exactly what this guy was thinking, and said with a smile, "No, although you seniors have just broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, the nine of you working together will definitely be able to break your divine power. Besides, the Dean wouldn't allow it."

"Well..."

Great Sage Golden Wing sighed, "It's a pity, after a while I won't have any suitable sparring partners."

Chu Feng chose to remain silent and continued fishing.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning.

As soon as Chu Feng got up, a familiar voice rang in his mind.

"Disciple Chu Caiyi has broken through to the True Fate Realm, awakened the Prison-Suppressing Divine Physique, and achieved the True Intent Great Perfection. The host is rewarded with twenty years of cultivation, the Prison-Suppressing Divine Physique has been perfected, and the True Essence of the Great Dao has been increased by 8."

Hmm...

Chu Feng was surprised to receive such good news as soon as he got up. Caiyi had also broken through to a higher level. Counting the time, it had been about a year since they left the Dao-Seeking Academy. He wondered where they were now.

Have you entered the Desolate Ancient City Secret Realm to cultivate?

Chu Feng was quite at ease about the cultivation speed of his disciples; over the past year, all of them had made progress in their cultivation.

Xiao Chen: Level 8 of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, Cao Youqian: Spirit Nurturing Layer 5, Qin Qin: Spirit Nurturing Layer 3, Wang Baole: Level 9 of the Heavenly Origin Realm, Ye Beixuan: Level True Fate Ninth Layer, Xu Caichen: Level 8 of the True Fate Realm, Han Ping: Level 6 of the True Fate Realm, Fang Mu: Level 6 of the Dao Foundation.

Meanwhile, in the Yellow Sand Desert, within an oasis, corpses lay strewn everywhere.

A strong stench of blood filled the air, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had just ended here.

Only a handful of people were still able to stand and talk.

Such battles are commonplace in the Yellow Sand Desert, occurring every moment in every corner of the desert.

In the desert, the strong reign supreme. As long as your fists are strong enough, you can get everything you want.

Therefore, this place has become a paradise for evil and demonic cultivators, and only ruthless people can survive in this Yellow Sand Desert.

At the very center of this circle, with the dozen or so people in it, Chu Caiyi slowly opened her eyes. She stood up and bowed slightly to everyone. "Thank you, senior brothers and sisters, for protecting me."

Cao Youqian fiddled with a storage ring and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Caiyi, there's no need to be so polite. May I ask what Divine Physique you've awakened?"

Xiao Chen and the others around them also turned their attention to Chu Caiyi Chu Caiyi. They didn't know much about her, but they did know that the cultivation technique she practiced was unprecedented.

After all, not everyone can cultivate a True Intent to perfection at the Dao Foundation Realm.

Chu Caiyi bowed slightly. "Replying to Senior Brother Cao, what I have awakened is the Prison-Suppressing Divine Physique."

When she awakened her Divine Physique, she saw a strange scene in her sea of consciousness, in a chaotic space.

A woman who looked exactly like him was sealed away layer by layer. Although the woman looked exactly like him, the aura she exuded was completely different from his.

Chu Caiyi didn't know the woman's background, and before she could finish investigating the woman, she woke up.

"As expected of Divine Physique, Junior Sister truly lives up to her reputation as a disciple who received a surname from Master. She is indeed extraordinary."

Cao Youqian praised.

Chu Caiyi smiled Qianqian: "Senior brother, you flatter me. Compared to Caiyi senior brothers and sisters, I still have a considerable gap to close."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Chen changed the subject. "Junior Brother Ye, where should we go next?"

Ye Beixuan said, "Just wait here. When the nine sandstorm tornadoes appear, that will be the time for the Desolate Ancient City Secret Realm to open. Judging by the time, the nine sandstorm tornadoes will appear in less than ten days."

Upon hearing this, the crowd stopped asking questions and, after cleaning up the corpses on the ground, sat cross-legged and began their cultivation.

Seven days later.

A gust of wind tinged Wanli cloudless sky with a hint of sand.

The wind is getting stronger.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, stood up, and used their divine senses to investigate the changes around them.

About half an hour later, yellow sand filled the sky, and everyone took out talismans to ward off the sand.

"A sand tornado appeared, just tens of miles to the southeast."

Xiao Chen spoke first.

He had barely finished speaking when Cao Youqian, "A sand tornado has also appeared in the northwest direction."

"It has also appeared in the northeast."

"I saw the sand scrolls coming from the southwest."

"..."

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone sensed the eight sand dunes with their divine senses.

Meanwhile, Yellow Sand Desert.

All the cultivators stopped moving forward and halted their steps, using talismans to ward off the sandstorm.

In the oasis.

Everyone watched as eight sandstorms swept in from all directions, encircling the entire oasis as if they were about to devour it.

Han Ping asked curiously, "Senior Brother Ye, where is the ninth Sand Dust Scroll?"

Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "The ninth sandstorm is right beneath our feet. Senior Mountain-Moving Marquis, you may come out now. We are about to set off."

"I never expected to have such an advantage to enjoy."

Mountain-Moving Marquis appeared before everyone with a beaming smile.

Ye Beixuan took out the key from his storage ring, activated his magic power, and a Jin Guang appeared on the key, shooting straight into the sky.

Rumble!

A violent tremor came from underground, and everyone felt the earth shaking violently, followed by a dizzying sensation as if the world was spinning.

Everyone instinctively looked down into the ground, where they saw a huge vortex that gradually evolved into a massive sandstorm.

At that moment, the eight surrounding sand tornadoes also rushed towards the oasis at top speed.

Soon everyone was swallowed up by the yellow sand, and the nine sandstorms merged into one.

Everyone enveloped themselves with their spiritual power, allowing the sandstorm to engulf them.

In the Yellow Sand Desert.

The gale subsided, but the sandstorm still lingered. As all living beings rejoiced at having escaped a calamity, they also subconsciously looked up at the horizon.

All cultivators above the True Fate Realm saw a sandstorm shooting straight into the sky.

"What... what is going on here? I've been hiding in this Yellow Sand Desert for a hundred years, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a magnificent sandstorm."

"It's glowing! It's glowing from within the sand scroll!"

"An extraordinary phenomenon! This is clearly a celestial phenomenon; it seems a rare treasure has appeared in the Yellow Sand Desert!"

"..."

A series of exclamations followed.

Countless powerful beings from the Yellow Sand Desert flew towards the location of the enormous sandstorm at top speed.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of cultivators at or above the Spirit Nurturing Realm appeared outside the Dragon Scroll.

Among them were many powerful figures who had reached the Dao Integration or Nirvana stage, and even powerful figures who had been granted the King Conferment in the Yellow Sand Desert.

However, these powerful individuals did not rush into the sandstorm immediately.

The Jin Guang emanating from the sand scroll instilled fear in many.

After a long while, the strange phenomenon disappeared, and when everyone looked closely, a sacred place appeared before their eyes...
