579: Open

“There isn't a significant gap in strength between the two of them, and I even suspect they might have reached some sort of cooperation.”

“If they were to truly make a move against you, you would only be able to use the Universe Da Luo Compass to leave.”

“Of course, I also have a suggestion: if you can obtain a spirit source fruit inside, quickly use the compass to leave, and don't be greedy for more gains.”

“Of course, if there is, there is; if there isn't, there isn't. Always prioritize your own safety.”

“Don't worry, I'll be careful.”

Zhan Wenyu nodded.

“In that case, go.”

Zhan Lang bowed to Zhan Wenyu, then left without any delay.

After he left, Zhan Wenyu sighed with some irritation.

He inexplicably felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

Especially when he thought about the numerous dangers of this trip to the Great Luo Secret Realm.

Sending his own son to take such a risk was clearly somewhat inappropriate.

But if he didn't let him go... never mind. Opportunity, Opportunity—how can one find Opportunity without striving for it?

If his son turned out to be useless, then it would be time for another alt account.

At the same time, Zhan Lang returned to his Immortal Cave.

He briefly spent some time tidying his belongings.

Then, without wasting any time, he headed to the Great Wu Dynasty.

Although it was still a bit early to depart at this time, there were many unexpected occurrences in the Immortal Cultivation World.

One could encounter rivers changing course at any time, or even maps becoming useless due to people fighting.

It was better to depart early if possible.

In the blink of an eye, this day finally arrived.

In the Imperial Capital of the Great Wu Dynasty, within the main hall, the Emperor and all the Imperial Princes were present.

Today was the day the Great Luo Secret Realm would open.

It seemed some were getting impatient.

Someone spoke impatiently, “The Wang Family truly puts on airs; no one has arrived even now.”

“Don't be impatient; this might not be just the Wang Family's issue. The people from Zhan Tian Sect haven't arrived yet either.”

Upon hearing this, everyone else also discussed animatedly.

They had waited here for a long time.

Even now, they hadn't seen Wang Yan and Wang Gou from the Wang Family, nor had Zhan Lang from Zhan Tian Sect appeared.

“This is truly outrageous. Do they not value our time? So much time has passed, wasted here for nothing.”

“The Wang Family is one thing, but Zhan Tian Sect usually has some dealings with us. To dare to do this is truly not putting us in their eyes.”

Just then, Dongfang Ming turned and snorted coldly.

“What are you all clamoring about? I usually teach you to cultivate your minds and temper your characters; is this how you do it? Can't even wait this little bit of time?”

Dongfang Ming's voice was extremely cold and stern.

The numerous Imperial Princes immediately lowered their heads, each daring not to speak.

Firstly, they were worried Dongfang Ming would continue to be angry.

Secondly, they did indeed feel guilty.

In just a short period, they had become so anxious and impatient, even greatly rebuking.

It was somewhat inconsistent with the demeanor of an Imperial Prince.

If such a matter were to spread among the court officials, many would likely impeach them, making it even more difficult to contend for the position of Emperor in the future.

Not long after, finally, there was movement from outside the main hall.

Everyone looked up.

Two figures walked in together.

One of them was none other than Wang Yan.

At this moment, he walked with the stride of a Dragon and the gait of a tiger, and a hint of scorching heat emanated from the space around him as he moved.

It seemed he had made another Breakthrough in his cultivation.

The person next to him was Wang Gou.

He remained unremarkable.

Among the many Imperial Princes, no one showed too much enthusiasm for the Wang Family.

This was because the Wang Family was, after all, a small Family that had Ascended from the Lower Realm.

Although they had shown impressive potential recently, their Great Wu Dynasty was not something a small Family like the Wang Family could compare to.

These people were even Imperial Princes of the Imperial Family, with extremely noble status.

Strictly speaking, the Wang Family should bow to them upon meeting them.

Of course, there was no need to discuss that at this moment.

The few of them briefly exchanged a few simple words, then continued to wait aside.

Now, only Zhan Lang from Zhan Tian Sect had not yet arrived.

As they continued to wait, discussions naturally arose.

Everyone chattered, “Look at these two newcomers from the Wang Family. I heard they are quite formidable. I wonder how much of their potential they will be able to display once they enter the Secret Realm this time.”

“I truly don't understand why our own Secret Realm must be opened to outsiders. I wonder what Father Emperor is really trying to do?”

“How can we fathom Father Emperor's thoughts? We should quietly wait for this matter.”

“Once we enter the Secret Realm, we must stick together and act as a group.”

“That is as it should be.”

Another long while passed in a flash.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhan Lang from Zhan Tian Sect still hadn't arrived.

Immediately, the numerous Imperial Princes, who were already somewhat dissatisfied due to the wait, completely erupted.

“Still not here? If he doesn't want to enter the Secret Realm, he could have said so in advance, instead of throwing a tantrum at a time like this and deliberately disgusting us.”

“Heh, could it be that this kid is afraid of danger and deliberately gave up? Then why did he agree in the first place?”

“That may be so, but if he truly doesn't come, then the vacant spot should be shared by those of us who were not qualified to enter.”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Some of the weaker Imperial Princes also perked up a bit.

They were originally not qualified to enter the Secret Realm.

But if Zhan Lang truly didn't participate in this Secret Realm expedition, then a spot would open up.

Each opening of the Great Luo Secret Realm consumed a vast amount of resources, so a single spot was naturally invaluable.

It was possible that it would just remain vacant, with no one chosen to enter.

At the same time, Dongfang Ming, who had been at the very top, also frowned deeply.

The time had indeed become quite long.

The people from Zhan Tian Sect still hadn't arrived.

What was going on with them?

Hadn't the news of the opening already been delivered?

If they didn't want to participate, they could have just replied.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ming's brows furrowed.

He always felt that something was not quite right.

Just as things were becoming extremely tense, the entire main hall was in an uproar.

Even as Dongfang Ming himself was getting impatient, movement suddenly came from outside.

Everyone looked outside, and it was Zhan Lang, who should have arrived much earlier.

“Everyone, I am truly sorry. Something happened on the way, causing this delay.”

As soon as he entered, he spoke to everyone with an apologetic expression.

The Imperial Princes looked at him with dark faces.
