368: The Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm is now open!

"The Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm is opening this year?"

Facing your question, Xuanyuan Tianji shook her head.

"I'm not sure if it's this year, but based on the heavenly emperor token's condition, it will open within three years. I don't know the exact details!"

"Three years?"

"Then why don't you let me continue going out to find resources?"

After Ye Wushuang heard that the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm might still need three years to open, he didn't want to waste a single moment.

Xuanyuan Tianji couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Wushuang's complaint.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that during the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm's opening period, entry is only possible on the first day. After missing it, one can no longer enter and must wait for the next opening five hundred years later.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that after the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm opens, the teleportation gate opened by the heavenly emperor token is very fragile. If you are fighting a Eerie Creature at that time and the teleportation gate is destroyed, you will no longer be able to enter the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

"There's one more thing! The Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm will open within these three years, but I don't know the exact time!"

"It could be next month, or it could be next year!"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that she is not from the Vast Immortal Domain and does not know when the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm last opened. She only infers it based on the changes in the heavenly emperor token.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that when the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm is about to open, the heavenly emperor token will emit a faint sensation.

"Is that so...?"

Ye Wushuang gave an awkward laugh.

"Don't be careless. Who knows how many people are still hidden in the Vast Immortal Domain, and who knows how many Geniuses will gather in the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm this time, not to mention there might be Eerie Creatures."

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that after each opening of the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm, the heavenly emperor tokens used to enter the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm will be recovered and randomly appear in various corners of the Vast Immortal Domain.

In the following days, all four of you remained in the barrier to Cultivate in seclusion.

Twenty-eighth year!

While in seclusion, you were suddenly woken up by Xuanyuan Tianji.

"The Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm has opened!"

Upon hearing this news, your face immediately showed an excited expression.

Only a year had passed, and the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm had already opened. You had thought you would have to wait for about three years.

Thinking of the treasures in the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm, you couldn't help but lick your lips.

If you could enter the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm, the resources obtained would be much more than what you would get from laboriously searching for immortal stone mine veins.

"Let's go!"

You walked out of the barrier and arrived outside the waterfall.

Xuanyuan Tianji took out the bronze heavenly emperor token, and then a golden light flashed. The heavenly emperor token in Xuanyuan Tianji's hand transformed into strands of golden light, which then condensed into a golden teleportation gate in front of her.

"Enter!"

You followed Xuanyuan Tianji's footsteps and slowly stepped into the golden teleportation gate.

As you entered the teleportation gate, the gate outside the waterfall slowly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

As you entered the teleportation gate, your vision instantly turned black.

When your vision recovered again, what greeted your eyes was an endless expanse of mist.

"This is the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm? Why is it all mist everywhere?"

Upon seeing the mist, Ye Wushuang couldn't help but frown and complain.

Xuanyuan Tianji explained to you at this moment.

"This is the outermost layer of the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm. This place is called—Imperial Dao Mist!"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the Imperial Dao Mist is a defense mechanism of the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm. Here, Divine Sense will be suppressed by the mist, and there are Heavenly Emperor Attendants in the mist. These attendants will attack you.

"Heavenly Emperor Attendants?"

"What are those things?"

Upon hearing "Heavenly Emperor Attendants," you instinctively thought that these things might be the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm's tomb guardians, specifically hunting down those who entered from the outside to seek treasures.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the Heavenly Emperor Attendants were the Heavenly Emperor's followers during his lifetime. After their deaths, their lingering souls and obsessions did not dissipate, wanting to continue following the Heavenly Emperor, so they became lost in this mist.

"Let's go! This layer of mist is just the beginning. Only by successfully passing through this mist can we obtain what we want."

"To be honest, this is my first time in the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm!"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that her heavenly emperor token was a casual gift given to her by her father's friend when she was young.

"Wait!!!"

"You've never been here?"

Upon hearing that Xuanyuan Tianji was also here for the first time, Ye Wushuang instantly felt he had been tricked.

"This isn't some Forbidden Ground, there shouldn't be much danger!"

Xuanyuan Tianji herself felt a bit uncertain at this moment. Everything she knew about the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm was based on what others had told her.

Just like that, you began walking in the mist.

After an unknown period of walking, a starlight flickered in front of your eyes in the mist.

You quickly walked forward and looked down.

"This is?"

Looking at the unfamiliar Immortal Plant in front of you, you decisively used your Eye of Truth to examine it.

"It's actually a Star Emperor Grass!"

At this moment, Xuanyuan Tianji's voice came from behind you.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the Star Emperor Grass is a top-tier Immortal Plant that requires the nourishment of an Immortal Emperor's lingering soul to grow.

"Good stuff!"

You decisively put the Star Emperor Grass into your Storage Ring.

Immediately after, as soon as you looked up, you saw two more starlights appear in the mist.

Seeing this, you excitedly rushed over.

However, just as you were about to approach the starlight, a cold glint flashed.

In an instant, you felt a breath of death.

Your body instinctively dodged.

"What the heck?"

The next second, you retreated a few steps and looked up.

At this moment, you finally saw what those two starlights were.

You discovered that they weren't Star Emperor Grass at all, but a pair of lifeless eyes.

"Heavenly Emperor Attendant!!!"

The words "Heavenly Emperor Attendant" suddenly flashed in your mind. This was the Heavenly Emperor Attendant that Xuanyuan Tianji had just told you about, and you didn't expect to encounter them so quickly.

"Heaven Slaying!"

You decisively took out your Great Void Immortal Sword and counterattacked.

However, when your Heaven Slaying struck the Heavenly Emperor Attendant's body, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no damage at all.

"Quick, run!"

At this moment, Xuanyuan Tianji suddenly pulled you and ran towards the depths of the mist.

"Are you crazy, fighting a Heavenly Emperor Attendant?"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that even if the Heavenly Emperor Attendant was only formed from lingering souls and obsessions, it was not something you, an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, could deal with.
