452: Chapter 452 The Divine Gluttony Secret Realm Opens, Shocking All Forces!

If they were to return to destroy the Chen Manor, only to miss out on obtaining this life-tracing white immortal bead, it would hardly be worth the cost.

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, a flash of disappointment crossed Lin Qingmeng's eyes, but she quickly cheered up again.

She believed that as long as Lin Ran was there, the Chen Manor would surely perish, and her great vengeance would eventually be avenged!

She was not in a rush, nor would she urge Lin Ran.

Regardless of whatever choice Lin Ran made, she would respect it without reservation!

At this moment, Yu Xin tugged on the corner of Lin Ran's clothes.

Yu Xi merely glanced at her briefly and said, "Young Miss says that before the Shentao Secret Realm opens, perhaps we can still handle matters regarding Heavenly God Mountain."

Hearing this, Lin Ran's gaze sharpened.

That's right! Heavenly God Mountain!

He had indeed been a bit carried away just now, having actually cast Heavenly God Mountain to the back of his mind.

Yu Xin was right; before the Shentao Secret Realm opened, he could indeed set about handling matters regarding Heavenly God Mountain!

"Roar!" However, at this very moment, a sound suddenly erupted from the direction of Yan City, echoing across the heavens and earth, shaking people's hearts and causing great unease.

"It's the roar of the Taotie! The Shentao Secret Realm is about to open!" Ye Ling exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh, what a coincidence. We just wiped out that group under Shuang Li'an, and now the Shentao Secret Realm is opening," Lin Ran smiled faintly.

"Since the Shentao Secret Realm has opened, there is no need to hesitate further. Let's go!" General Li Bufan waved his hand, his magic power sweeping everyone up as they flew toward the Yan-Source Ancient Pool where the Shentao Secret Realm was located.

"Ling'er, let's go too!" General Ye Yi took Ye Ling and followed closely behind General Li Bufan.

Meanwhile, the opening of the Shentao Secret Realm caused a violent commotion throughout the entire Tiandu Demon Realm.

After all, it was not only Yu Xin who knew that a life-tracing white immortal bead had flown into the Shentao Secret Realm.

Now, every faction within the entire Tiandu Demon Realm was aware of this matter.

Countless young Prodigies felt a sense of longing and greed, all wishing to seize this life-tracing white immortal bead.

After all, to obtain a life-tracing white immortal bead was to receive the recognition of the Immortals, to gain an Immortal's Opportunity and Legacy, and to construct a solid path toward Immortal Ascension.

One must ask, which young Prodigy would not be tempted?!

Even Lin Ran, having witnessed the Demon-Sweeping Ancestral Master bestow the life-tracing white immortal bead upon Di Tian, felt a twinge of envy in his heart, let alone the others.

In front of the Imperial City of the Zhenxian Divine Dynasty, Emperor Gu Changge stood beneath the city walls, his robes fluttering, with a host of civil and military officials standing behind him.

"That will do. You may stop here," Emperor Gu Changge waved his hand, signaling the civil and military officials behind him to return.

For the first time in history, he was personally escorting his own young Prodigies to the Yan-Source Ancient Pool.

The main reason was naturally only one: among this batch of young Prodigies, Gu Qinglian was among them!

"Regarding this Shentao Secret Realm, I have already consulted with other factions to turn this trip into a training ground for you young Prodigies."

"This means that beings with cultivation in the Seven-Star Divine Realm are not permitted to enter; otherwise, they will be killed without exception."

"After entering the Shentao Secret Realm, you have only one objective: to protect Gu Qinglian!"

"If any accident befalls Gu Qinglian, I will hold you all accountable!" Emperor Gu Changge's tone was indifferent, yet it was filled with supreme imperial might.

"As you command!" The young Prodigies of the Zhenxian Divine Dynasty bowed respectfully, their Faces filled with awe.

Gu Qinglian was Emperor Gu Changge's only daughter, showered with thousands of endearments since childhood, and was also a notorious little demoness within the Zhenxian Divine Dynasty.

There was a saying in the Tiandu Demon Realm: if you offended Emperor Gu Changge, you might still have a glimmer of hope for survival.

But if you offended Gu Qinglian, then no matter if you fled to the ends of the earth, as long as Gu Qinglian wished it, Emperor Gu would hunt you down endlessly!

Take Heavenly God Mountain, for example. Originally, out of respect for the Resurrection Immortal Sect, even though Heavenly God Mountain possessed items of the bizarre dao that heaven and earth would not tolerate, Emperor Gu Changge did not particularly want to destroy them.

After all, he was still planning to use Heavenly God Mountain to kill Lin Ran.

But alas, Gu Qinglian insisted on destroying Heavenly God Mountain, so this doting father, after weighing the pros and cons, decided to prioritize Gu Qinglian.

He would wait for Gu Qinglian to emerge from the Shentao Secret Realm, and if she brought up the matter of destroying Heavenly God Mountain, he would agree without hesitation.

After all, what in this world could be more important than making his own daughter happy?!

As for Lin Ran, he would find a good Opportunity to let the other party understand what an absolute disparity in innate status and position truly meant!

Although he still did not know who Lin Ran was...

Emperor Gu Changge snapped his fingers lightly, and a Demon Phoenix flew over, its wings burning with raging demonic flames, its aura as deep as the vast sea.

"Gu Qinglian, it is time for us to set off," Emperor Gu Changge stood atop the Demon Phoenix, his tone doting.

Gu Qinglian stepped onto the Demon Phoenix along with the other young Prodigies, and under Emperor Gu Changge's command, the Demon Phoenix transformed into a gale, speeding toward the Yan-Source Ancient Pool.

At the Yan-Source Ancient Pool, in front of the Shentao Secret Realm. At this moment, many factions had already gathered here, and on the ground lay several corpses, with the blood not yet dry.

These factions were those that had been waiting before the Shentao Secret Realm since early on.

"Whoosh!" The Demon Phoenix, carrying a gale, swept over from the distance at high speed, descending before the Shentao Secret Realm.

Upon sensing the aura on the Demon Phoenix, the leaders of the various factions felt their breath hitch, and their pupils contracted sharply.

"Greetings, Emperor Gu!" They knelt in unison, and not a single living being present dared to remain standing.

What on earth was going on?!

Why had the strongest person in the Tiandu Demon Realm, Emperor Gu, suddenly had a whim to lead his own young Prodigies to the Shentao Secret Realm?!

One had to know that in the past, when the Shentao Secret Realm opened, Emperor Gu Changge would simply dispatch a general to lead the young Prodigies here.

But now, Emperor Gu Changge had actually come in person?!

This was simply an unprecedented event!

However, when everyone's eyes fell upon the young girl behind Emperor Gu Changge, they immediately understood why Emperor Gu had come in person today.

It was only because... that notorious little demoness, who was even joked about as being the true "Emperor Gu" of the Tiandu Demon Realm, Gu Qinglian, had actually come along for the first time ever!

This was also an unheard-of rarity in the past!

The expressions of the various faction leaders and young Prodigies were somewhat dazed; their brains felt insufficient for the moment.

Why had this pair, father and daughter, Emperor Gu Changge and Gu Qinglian, suddenly had a whim and both come here?!

"Gu Qinglian, you..." Emperor Gu Changge turned to look at Gu Qinglian, and just as he was about to say something, Gu Qinglian did not give him any chance.

"Old man, stop talking so much nonsense! Since the Shentao Secret Realm has opened, I'm going in first. Don't forget what you promised me!"

Gu Qinglian let out a cold harrumph and entered the Shentao Secret Realm first, with not a single person daring to obstruct her.
