673: The secret realm reopens, and Celestial Realm cultivators flock in.

Just as Tan Wugang had predicted, at this moment above the sea, seven supreme realm experts were maintaining the operation of a Formation.

The Light Gate that had originally dissipated was slowly emerging again, with a special aura surging within it.

"Everyone, send word down. Have those at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and below get ready. In a few moments at most, they will be able to enter the Secret Realm."

The supreme realm powerhouse from the Fire Phoenix Sect spoke. Her voice wasn't loud, but amidst the rolling waves, it still reached everyone's ears clearly.

As her voice fell, powerful auras appeared from the distance—nearly a hundred figures in total, all of whom were in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Among these Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, the Fire Phoenix Sect accounted for four, led by someone at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Forces like the Yuan Family and Changhe Sect each had three, and even on Sky Phoenix Tower's side, three Celestial Phenomenon Realm individuals had arrived at some point.

Sects like the White Wolf Sect had relatively fewer, with only two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, the strongest being only at the third level of the celestial phenomenon realm.

The remaining Celestial Phenomenon Realm individuals came from other forces, generally one from each force.

There were also some Celestial Phenomenon Realm individuals who were Loose Cultivators; among them, almost no one had reached the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Just then, a warship appeared in the distant sky, drawing everyone's gaze.

A terrifying pressure descended from the warship as a black-robed figure stepped out and instantly arrived before the seven Supremes.

The woman at the second level of the supreme realm from the Fire Phoenix Sect quickly stood up and bowed to the black-robed figure.

"Senior, everything is ready!"

Her words were extremely respectful, and her calling the black-robed figure Senior left everyone around in shock.

One must know that for someone at the second level of the supreme realm to call someone Senior, that person must be at least at the third level of the supreme realm, or even stronger.

An Fanmei, the Yuan Family's Old Ancestor Yuan Jinan, the Ancient Dao Sect's Old Ancestor Tan Tianyang, and others all looked solemn.

They looked at the black-clothed man, their eyes filled with awe.

"Very good. Once this matter is completed, this seat will certainly deliver on what I promised your Fire Phoenix Sect."

The black-clothed man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse; one could only tell it was a man, but nothing else could be discerned.

At that moment, six dark figures flew out from the Flying Boat in the sky, all of them possessing the pressure of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Among these six, two were at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, three were at the third level of the celestial phenomenon realm, and the lowest was at the second level of the celestial phenomenon realm.

But these six were not led by the two at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but by the one at the second level of the celestial phenomenon realm!

Everyone's gaze turned toward these six black-clothed figures, but unfortunately, they couldn't detect anything.

Just then, the Light Gate glowed brightly, and bursts of suction emanated from within.

"Senior, they can enter now!"

The woman at the second level of the supreme realm from the Fire Phoenix Sect quickly spoke to the black-clothed man who had just appeared.

This person was named Feng Yanxi; Feng Qimei also came from her lineage.

The black-clothed man nodded slightly and waved his hand. The six black-clothed figures behind him flew toward the Light Gate, plunging directly into it and vanishing without a trace.

With their disappearance, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm individuals from the Fire Phoenix Sect took flight, and the others followed closely behind, all sinking into the Light Gate.

In just a few breaths, over a hundred Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts had vanished, and the Light Gate shook violently before shattering.

As the Light Gate shattered, a Barrier rose from the seabed.

Seeing this, everyone retreated, not daring to be touched by the Barrier.

In just a moment, the Barrier enveloped the surroundings and then slowly sank into the seabed. A few breaths later, it vanished, leaving only the constantly churning seawater!

"Everyone, the Secret Realm has completely closed, and we can no longer open it. Let's all return to our original places and wait!"

"Normally, when the Secret Realm's gate opens, the place where they appear should be around here."

Feng Yanxi spoke slowly, her body gradually fading until she vanished without a trace.

Everyone looked up at the sky and realized that at some point, the Flying Boat had also disappeared, and the black-clothed old man was gone as well.

Just then, a man rushed over from the distance, panic in his eyes.

This man's cultivation base was not weak, being at the sixth level of the celestial phenomenon realm. His name was Yuan Chengshan, one of the Yuan Family's Elders.

He flew to the Yuan Family's Old Ancestor Yuan Jinan and quickly cupped his fists, saying, "Old Ancestor, this is bad!"

"The Fourth Elder guarding the Life Tablets in the clan just sent word that the Life Tablets of everyone we brought to participate in this Secret Realm have all shattered."

As soon as Yuan Chengshan spoke, the expressions of those present became quite colorful. Many looked at Yuan Jinan with schadenfreude in their eyes.

Yuan Jinan's expression changed drastically, and a terrifying Supreme pressure surged from his body.

Some Celestial Phenomenon Realm individuals, being too close to Yuan Jinan, were affected by this pressure and couldn't help but groan.

Their bodies were sent flying back, and their eyes were filled with horror.

Was this the terror of a supreme realm expert? The mere display of pressure was enough to knock back Celestial Phenomenon Realm powerhouses.

Just then, two cold snorts were heard, and An Fanmei stepped forward, blocking the pressure for a group of Celestial Phenomenon Realm individuals.

A terrifying Supreme pressure emanated from her, directly blocking the Supreme pressure Yuan Jinan had released.

The other person was an old man, who was also one of the seven supreme realm experts from earlier.

This old man was named Nian Huaigu, from the Nian Family, known as the "Number One Family of Archery."

However, his body was filled with endless Death Qi, and his Lifespan was running out.

Feeling the Supreme auras of Nian Huaigu and An Fanmei, Yuan Jinan's face turned slightly cold, but he nonetheless retracted his own Supreme aura.

Just as Yuan Jinan was about to ask Yuan Chengshan what happened, someone at the fifth level of the dao severing realm from the Changhe Sect flew over to the Changhe Sect's Old Ancestor.

"Old Ancestor, this is bad! An Elder from the Sect just sent word that the Life Tablets of the Disciples our Changhe Sect sent out have been falling one after another; there are hardly any left!"

As soon as the Changhe Sect Elder's words came out, the remaining Supreme powerhouses present all looked solemn.

They couldn't help but show looks of worry in their eyes.

At that same moment, the leading Elder from the White Wolf Sect received notice that the Life Tablets of the White Wolf Sect Disciples had all shattered.

The White Wolf Sect Elder's face turned red, then he spat out several mouthfuls of blood in succession and fell back, fainting on the spot.

One must remember, this was a Celestial Phenomenon Realm powerhouse.

As these reports came in, the outside world fell into complete chaos.

supreme realm experts like An Fanmei, Nian Huaigu, and Tan Tianyang all showed worry on their faces.

One must know that those they sent out this time were all the Sect's elites, the pillars of the future.

If something happened to this group, all the effort they had put in over decades or even centuries would go down the drain. They could not afford such a loss!
