83: Good luck to everyone in the early-opened secret realm!
A beast tide?
Chen Xian's expression turned solemn.
Generally, beast tides happen once every six months.
But it had only been ten days since the last beast tide.
Why were the Yao Beasts in the Beast Forest rioting again?
What was going on?
Chen Xian quickly followed.
Intuition told him this was no ordinary beast tide.
Outside Jubei City.
Tens of thousands of Yao Beasts were fleeing frantically into the distance.
Their speed was unprecedented.
Even with Human Race Cultivators nearby, they had no time to care.
Chen Xian observed for a few seconds and muttered to himself, "What kind of beast tide is this? They're clearly running for their lives!"
He looked deep into the Beast Forest.
It seemed there was something inside that terrified them!
Chen Xian didn't linger outside the city and quickly returned to his residence.
However, as soon as he reached home, he noticed the atmosphere was off!
Liu Ruyan and Zi Yun stood facing each other.
Both had cold expressions.
Seeing Chen Xian return, Zhou Duoer quickly ran over and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"I'm sorry, Young Lord, I couldn't stop them!"
Chen Xian patted Zhou Duoer's head.
When Liu Ruyan and Zi Yun saw Chen Xian, they both stepped forward.
"Chen Xian, come with me!"
"Chen Xian, come with me!"
The two women spoke in unison.
Chen Xian was completely bewildered.
"Wait, where am I going with you?"
"The Lake Bottom Secret Realm!"
"Huh?"
Zi Yun said seriously, "The Lake Bottom Secret Realm is opening right now. Everyone is preparing to enter. Hurry and come with me!"
Liu Ruyan unceremoniously blocked the path between them.
"Chen Xian is a citizen of Jubei City in the Da Gan Dynasty. As the Commander of Jubei City, I have the right to protect the people of this city from harm."
After speaking, she looked at Chen Xian.
"Chen Xian, don't go! It's very dangerous there!"
Rather than the danger of the Secret Realm, Liu Ruyan simply didn't want Chen Xian and Zi Yun to be together.
Spending time together would lead to feelings!
Something would happen sooner or later!
Chen Xian directly ignored Liu Ruyan.
He cracked his neck.
"Alright, let's go!"
"Zhao Hu, while I'm away, you have full authority over Marquis Jubeis Residence. Make sure to protect everyone!"
Zhao Hu nodded respectfully.
Chen Xian let out a whistle.
Da Huang came trotting over from nearby with the White Cat in his mouth.
Just as he was about to leave, Liu Ruyan grabbed Chen Xian's arm.
"Are you really leaving?"
Chen Xian sneered, "I don't think you have the right to control me!"
He had already taken Zi Yun's yaochi holy water. If he stood her up, he had no doubt she would have people from the Yaochi Immortal Palace come knocking on his door!
Especially since the Lake Bottom Secret Realm also offered the chance to comprehend Sword Intent.
Plus the support of the Imperial Decree.
He was determined to go on this Secret Realm trip.
After pushing Liu Ruyan aside,
Chen Xian and Zi Yun quickly disappeared from the courtyard.
Liu Ruyan stomped her foot in anger.
He wasn't like this before!
Was that bitch Zi Yun better than her?
She also quickly left the place.
Zhao Hu and the others watched this scene.
Their faces were filled with envy.
"As expected of the Young Lord, he actually has two beautiful women fighting over him!"
"Tsk, enough nonsense. Activate the defensive array. Until the Young Lord returns, no one is allowed to leave!"
"Yes!"
...On the way to the Yao Beast Lake.
Chen Xian asked curiously, "The early opening of the Lake Bottom Secret Realm wouldn't happen to be related to the Yao Beast riot, would it?"
Zi Yun's expression was grave.
"It's hard to say, but I feel there must be some connection between them."
An hour later.
Zi Yun and Chen Xian arrived at the shore of the Yao Beast Lake, travel-worn.
Over a hundred people were already standing by the lakeside.
Seeing these people, Chen Xian couldn't help but exclaim, "So many people!"
"Of course. For this Lake Bottom Secret Realm, there are dozens of Sects and aristocratic families that I know of!"
"All twenty Sects of the Southern Continent are participating, and the twelve aristocratic families of the Da Gan Dynasty and the Tianqi Sect have also sent people!"
Zi Yun said seriously, "This time, it seems everyone is going to be serious!"
Chen Xian turned to look at her.
"It's just a Lake Bottom Secret Realm, why did it attract so many people? What else are you hiding from me?"
Zi Yun's eyes flickered.
She stammered, "I'm not hiding anything!"
"If you don't tell me, I'm leaving!"
Chen Xian made a move to leave.
The next second, Zi Yun grabbed him tightly.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
She whispered, "Rumor has it that there's a fallen Dragon at the bottom of this lake!"
"What's so special about a fallen Dragon?"
Chen Xian laughed dismissively.
This wasn't Earth.
Although the Dragon Clan wasn't seen everywhere in this world, they weren't exactly rare either.
A fallen Dragon.
How could it cause such a massive stir?
Zi Yun said with a serious expression, "It's a Dragon that was preparing for Ascension to achieve the Dao but failed to survive its Lightning Tribulation!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian's pupils constricted.
Everyone knew that the cultivation levels in this world were divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Dao Integration, Mahayana, Undergoing Tribulation, Immortal Emperor, Saint Emperor, and Saint!
And Ascension to achieve the Dao was precisely the hurdle that big shots in the Undergoing Tribulation stage needed to cross.
If they succeeded!
They would be called an Immortal Emperor, ruling over a realm and wielding the power of Law!
If they failed!
Their bodies would perish and their Dao would vanish, with no possibility of survival!
Many people spent a long time preparing to achieve the Dao and ascend.
These people were known as those in the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Old Wang the cook was at such a cultivation level!
Only one Lightning Tribulation away from becoming an Immortal Emperor.
But how could that Lightning Tribulation be easy to survive?
Like this fallen Dragon big shot.
"So, they're all after the things on its body?"
Zi Yun nodded.
"Dragon bones cleansed by the Lightning Tribulation are Materials that Artifact Refiners dream of. And Dragon tendons..."
"Although it sounds a bit cruel, it has indeed attracted the attention of countless people!"
Chen Xian sighed.
"When a whale falls, ten thousand things flourish!"
Regarding this, he felt it was just natural selection and survival of the fittest.
There was nothing wrong with it.
He looked around.
"No wonder so many people came this time! There's even a suppression of rules!"
"Actually, it's not just the Southern and Northern Continents; I bet people from other places have come as well, they're just hiding among the crowd!"
Chen Xian wasn't surprised at all.
A Dragon Clan member who fell during the Undergoing Tribulation stage.
Not only was its entire body a treasure,
but the treasures it carried were likely extremely precious as well!
The time to pick up some scraps had come!
Slap!
Someone patted Chen Xian on the shoulder.
He turned around and saw Li Yu standing behind him.
She was looking at him with a half-smile.
"I was wondering why you've been so quiet lately. It turns out you've been accompanied by a beauty! I'm afraid you've forgotten all about me!"
Chen Xian waved his hands repeatedly at Li Yu's words.
"I could forget anyone, but I wouldn't dare forget you!"
While they were talking,
Chen Xian felt a surge of killing intent.
He followed the killing intent and saw Wang Li looking at him with cold eyes not far away.
Chen Xian smiled slightly.
He raised a middle finger at Wang Li.
"Damn it!"
Wang Li angrily started walking towards Chen Xian.
However, at that moment,
a voice came from mid-air.
"The time for the Lake Bottom Secret Realm to open has arrived. You have fifteen minutes to enter the Lake Bottom Secret Realm! Good luck to everyone!"
