601: breakthrough

“It seems there’s more to this Thatched Hut than meets the eye. If you want to continue investigating, stay here. I, however, think it best to leave first.”

After speaking, he looked at the people behind him.

“Let’s continue our journey.”

But just as he was about to leave,

the entire Thatched Hut underwent an astonishing change.

With a rumble,

an incredibly powerful aura emanated from within the Thatched Hut.

Immediately following, a hearty laugh rang out.

“Good, good, good, what a great Opportunity.”

“I’ve been stuck at this Realm for a full 30 years. I never expected to Breakthrough today and realize how simple this Realm truly is.”

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, each one incredulous.

Because the voice was clearly from the person who had just entered.

What exactly happened inside?

Everyone’s hearts were like cats scratching an itch, each one staring intently at the Thatched Hut.

The door of the Thatched Hut opened.

A Cultivator flew out.

It was the same person from before.

What truly astonished everyone was that this person’s cultivation had improved significantly compared to before.

The most obvious change was that his aura was considerably stronger.

This clearly indicated that there was an astonishing Opportunity within the Thatched Hut.

Everyone’s breathing quickened, their eyes bloodshot, almost burning as they stared at the Thatched Hut.

Even a fool could see how immense the Opportunity inside was.

After all, they knew the person who wanted to enter.

He was already quite old, and in not many years, he would die at the Peak of the Supreme Realm.

The reason he defied the Prince this time to enter and seek Opportunity was because his Lifespan was limited and his potential exhausted.

Yet, such an individual, after entering the Thatched Hut, emerged having successfully broken through his Realm.

Although he still hadn’t reached the True Immortal Realm,

to Breakthrough from the Peak of the Supreme Realm to Perfection, and even be just one step away from entering the True Immortal Realm, only required a period of recuperation.

How could this scene not make everyone envious?

Each of them looked at their respective Prince with immense anticipation.

Meanwhile, that Cultivator, his face flushed with excitement, flew before Third Prince Dongfang Yao.

“Your Highness, there’s more to the Thatched Hut than meets the eye, don’t let its dilapidated appearance fool you.”

“Inside, there’s a pool of water. The pool isn’t large, but the liquid within is crystal clear like jade, incredibly viscous, and the Yin Qi concentration is astonishing.”

“Your subordinate instantly judged that this might be the Opportunity within the Thatched Hut’s material, and couldn’t wait to immerse himself in it.”

“And guess what?”

“The Spiritual Qi inside, as if alive, autonomously drilled into my body. Now my cultivation has broken through.”

“Your subordinate is confident that he will soon be able to enter the True Immortal Realm and become a great asset by Your Highness’s side.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the shock on everyone’s faces grew even more intense, each one incredulous and greatly shaken.

Even Dongfang Yao was surprised, unable to resist glancing at Dongfang Chen beside him.

“Fifth Brother, it seems this Thatched Hut is indeed not simple. The Opportunity inside is probably not small, a pool that can condense into spiritual liquid.”

“And even help people Breakthrough their cultivation, it’s probably no less than an Immortal-grade item.”

As his words fell, everyone became even more restless.

The Cultivators under Dongfang Chen’s command quickly spoke up.

“Your Highness, I know you are eager to find the spiritual fruit, but such an Opportunity is right before us. If we immerse ourselves in it to improve our cultivation, it might not be inferior to that fruit.”

“Your Highness, I have served by your side for a full 570 years. For these 500 years, I have been diligent, never daring to ask for an extra day off, never daring to ask for an extra thing. But now I have been stuck at the Supreme Realm for a long time, and now I finally have a chance to Breakthrough. I beg Your Highness to allow it.”

“This, it’s truly unbearable. Your Highness, I also want to go and immerse myself in it.”

However, some people remained rational.

“Where in the world is there an Opportunity without danger? Is it really given away for free?”

As soon as their questions emerged, someone eagerly replied.

“That’s naturally true in the outside world, but this is the Great Luo Secret Realm. A Grand Unity Golden Immortal once perished here. Such an Opportunity shouldn’t be considered dangerous. How could there be any danger? Anything is possible.”

And with these words, everyone’s eyes grew even more fervent.

But Dongfang Chen became somewhat troubled.

In the depths of his being, he felt the danger here even more strongly.

Especially after seeing someone successfully Breakthrough and emerge,

this feeling became even more intense.

But looking at the fervent gazes of his subordinates, he didn’t know how to explain it.

Should he not allow them to enter?

They already harbored resentment towards him; even if he forcibly suppressed them, they probably wouldn’t exert themselves later.

If they all worked half-heartedly, how could he seize the fruit?

His Imperial Father didn’t only have him as a son.

Moreover, among those who entered this time, several did not follow him.

They had probably already headed to the center of the Secret Realm.

Now, he was wasting time here, and when he thought about his subsequent special task of resurrection arrangements,

Dongfang Chen felt a headache coming on.

At the same time, on the other side.

Wang Yan was also curious about this.

Upon seeing that person successfully Breakthrough and emerge, he said with even greater surprise,

“Could it be that there really is an astonishing Opportunity inside? I’ve heard that some people have a peculiar taste and often place great Opportunities in inconspicuous places.”

“It seems this must be it. That person was only in there for a moment, and his cultivation increased so much upon coming out. If you and I could immerse ourselves, we would probably also improve significantly.”

But Wang Gou’s eyes flickered upon hearing this.

A moment later, he gently shook his head.

“No.”

“What do you mean?” Wang Yan was curious at this point and couldn’t help but ask.

After all, a living example was right before their eyes.

Could it be that someone truly disliked Opportunity?

Wang Gou said softly,

“Opportunity, Opportunity. If there’s no danger, what could it be called Opportunity?”

“I still maintain that there must be a problem here. The increase in cultivation must have come at some cost. Things are not as simple as we imagine.”

Wang Yan frowned upon hearing this.

These words were not entirely without reason.

It’s just that this time, he felt Wang Gou was wrong.

In the world, there are always some things that are not so difficult.

Moreover, the Opportunity within this Thatched Hut had already been explored by someone.

And that person even Breakthrough his cultivation inside before coming out.

What danger could there be?

Just as Wang Yan was frowning, Dongfang Yao spoke again.

“Fifth Brother, I know you always act cautiously, but this time, the Opportunity is right here.”

“It wouldn’t hurt to let your subordinates all go in and try. After their cultivation improves, it will also facilitate our subsequent actions.”
