109: Chapter 109 The Pagoda Opens

Feeling the gazes of everyone staring at him, Lin Shen shrugged his shoulders and stood alone in a corner.

According to his observation, the pagoda located at the top of the mountain had not yet opened, and it should need some time to wait.

Otherwise, this group of people wouldn't have all gathered here; they probably would have already entered the pagoda and plundered all the treasures and opportunities inside.

Lin Shen stood quietly in the corner.

Although he didn't do anything rash, quite a few people still secretly kept their attention on Lin Shen.

After all, the people who could enter this Secret Realm were all Prodigy Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Five Great Sects.

With a detailed understanding of the information within their Sects, they all had a certain estimation of the strength of the people present.

Only this person before them who was hiding their face and wearing a mask, whose true appearance couldn't be peered into—Lin Shen—was someone they did not know.

For everyone, this was undoubtedly an unexpected variable.

Once a fight broke out, without knowing this person's trump cards and methods, it was very easy to suffer a loss.

Moreover, this person was hiding themselves; if they waited for the pagoda to open, once this person obtained a great Opportunity from it and quickly escaped, casually changing their identity, in the future they wouldn't be able to rob or oppress them based on that identity.

Because of this, everyone had to be extra cautious and pay more attention to Lin Shen.

In fact, Lin Shen didn't want to be like this.

Originally, he had disguised himself as someone else's appearance, but that was not secure and was very easy for others to see through.

In order not to expose his true identity, he could only put on the shielding mask he had obtained from some Cultivator's Storage Pouch.

Although this might attract the attention of others, the advantage was that his own identity would not be exposed.

As long as his identity was not discovered, whether he was striking out to seize Opportunity treasures or wantonly slaying other Cultivators, he wouldn't need to care about any consequences.

Lin Shen waited together with everyone for the opening of the pagoda.

During the wait, several more Prodigies from other Schools arrived successively.

During this time, because some Prodigies of certain Schools already had personal grudges previously, once the two sides met, quite a bit of friction occurred.

However, these Prodigies were all people who considered the overall situation, and after using their hands to let out the Qi in their hearts, they didn't fight to the death; after all, doing so would only let others take advantage for free.

Time passed swiftly.

Three days later.

Just as the pagoda was about to open, two stunning figures flew over quickly from a distance.

One of them was Qin Ruyan of the Shuiyue Sect.

Originally Qin Ruyan was extremely beautiful, but the woman by her side had a face even more delicate than Qin Ruyan's, with every detail on her face seeming as though it had been meticulously carved by a Great Master, appearing flawless and just like a Heavenly Immortal descending to the mortal world.

Making anyone who glanced at her feel only that she could be viewed from afar, but not profaned.

Especially that devilish figure where looking down didn't even reveal her toes, making one's blood surge uncontrollably at a single glance.

The moment they saw this woman, quite a few Cultivators present were astounded by her, unable to help swallowing their saliva and silently reciting the heart-cleansing incantation in their hearts.

Facing a beauty of this Rank, Lin Shen merely glanced at her, then shook his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the direction of the pagoda.

What he cultivated was Immortality, and his own lust had long been cast to the back of his mind; no matter how beautiful and moving this person before him was, so what?

In the end, after death, she would still be nothing more than a pink skeleton!

Stripping away the skin pouch, it was nothing more than two hundred and six bones, flesh, filth, hair, and intestines.

"Murong Qingyue!"

"The Personal Disciple of the Shuiyue Sect Sect Master, I didn't expect that Murong Qingyue would also come!"

"There's going to be a good show to watch now. Li Yunfei of the Lihuo Sect, Zhao Bian of the Shangyang Sect, plus a Murong Qingyue—three of the strongest combat powers in the Foundation Establishment Realm among the Five Great Sects entering the Secret Realm have arrived all at once. If they encounter a great Opportunity, one really wonders what kind of wonderful battle these few people will erupt with."

Accompanied by Murong Qingyue's arrival, some Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators with lower-to-middle strength couldn't help discussing animatedly, their eyes flashing with the light of watching a good show.

They really hoped that these three people—Li Yunfei, Zhao Bian, and Murong Qingyue—would fight; the more intense the fight, the better.

Only in this way could they muddy the waters and snatch some other relatively precious Opportunities from the pagoda.

While everyone was discussing animatedly, a Qingmu Sect Disciple also secretly sneaked to Lin Shen's side.

Looking at Lin Shen, who exuded an aura of keeping strangers away, he swallowed his saliva, a friendly smile appearing at the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, I know that wearing a mask means you definitely don't want us to know your true identity, but that doesn't matter. This time, I am also forming a good affinity with you. Later, after the pagoda opens, I will not contend for the Opportunity with you, Senior Brother, and I also ask Senior Brother not to accidentally injure me."

This Qingmu Sect Disciple had already felt the extraordinary nature of Lin Shen, coupled with the fact that his own Qingmu Sect had no high-end combat power arriving here, the best choice right now was naturally not to conflict with this masked person of unknown identity, and then greet him properly to ensure he absolutely wouldn't contend for the Opportunity with him.

Anyway, everyone was a person of the Five Great Sects; what if he and this masked person had met once before and were quite familiar?

With this greeting and his own assurance, when the pagoda opened, once a large-scale melee broke out, he could also avoid being accidentally injured by him.

Looking at this Qingmu Sect Disciple, Lin Shen did not want to show off right now, so he just nodded faintly and didn't say much.

Seeing that Lin Shen just nodded lightly and then ignored him, that Qingmu Sect Disciple also knew that his purpose had been achieved, and immediately cupped his fists towards Lin Shen with a smile, saying no more nonsense.

He was a smart man.

Lin Shen didn't want to speak, so he certainly wouldn't say unnecessary nonsense. If he said too much, it would instead arouse Lin Shen's aversion, which would run counter to his purpose at that time.

Everyone waited quietly.

About two hours later, the light within the pagoda bloomed to an extreme, and a majestic wave of Spiritual Qi exploded outwards in all directions.

Feeling this terrifying Spiritual Qi, everyone only felt their pores slightly open, and their cultivation base throughout their bodies improved quite a bit in this instant.

At the same time, as this terrifying Spiritual Qi explosion swept out, the pagoda gates slowly opened, and a long passage was revealed before everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene.

The figures of the people present flickered one after another, rushing towards the interior of the pagoda gates at the very first moment.

Lin Shen also followed closely behind, quickly stepping into the pagoda gates.

As soon as he entered, Lin Shen was swallowed by a flash of light, and accompanied by a spinning world, the scene before his eyes instantly changed.

The originally dim and long passage was gone by now, and entering Lin Shen's eyes was an endless desert.

High up in the sky of this desert, a flame bead exuding an extremely scorching aura floated suspended in the air.

And beneath it, countless blazing Yao Beasts roared and howled.
