92: These people seem a bit difficult to deal with!

Seven days later.

Chu Yuan, dressed in black and wearing a black mask, arrived at a mountain Peak.

Looking at the magnificent scene before him, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.

The mountains stretched endlessly, like sleeping giant Dragons, winding across the earth.

Above the sky, huge spirit boats floated, with countless figures on them.

Each spirit boat had a special emblem, seemingly representing a certain power.

Cultivators from all directions rushed over, wielding Magic Treasures, or Flying Swords, and some even rode flying Yao Beasts.

The sunlight scattered down, reflecting colorful rays on the Magic Treasures, interwoven into a splendid curtain of light.

Between the mountains, there was also a sea of people.

Those Cultivators without flying mounts gathered like ants on the various mountain Peaks.

They gathered in twos and threes or in groups, talking in low voices, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

Some even looked at the figures shuttling through the sky, secretly clenching their fists.

The wind howled through the mountains, but it couldn't suppress the clamor of the crowd.

Chu Yuan touched the crude mask on his face and silently blended into the crowd.

He found an inconspicuous spot to sit cross-legged, quietly listening to the conversations around him.

"Now that the Xuanhong Secret Realm has opened, Cultivators in the Spirit Core Realm and Spirit Crystal Realm from Tianji Divine Continent should all be here, right?"

"More than that! Those from the neighboring Tianquan Divine Continent have also come, all hoping to obtain Opportunities within!"

"Indeed, it's rumored that the Xuanhong Secret Realm is an ancient battlefield, with countless Legacies and treasures everywhere. Who wouldn't be tempted?"

"Rumor has it that someone obtained a Divine Artifact within it, gaining the favor of a God Realm Expert, and soaring to greatness!"

"Others obtained Legacies, their path ahead unobstructed, and entered major Sects."

"Even more, some obtained Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pills, directly causing their Spiritual Root to mutate and advance to a God-level Spirit Root, catching the eye of a Divine Realm Great Expert, and receiving focused cultivation."

"Hehe, what are these? Who doesn't know the rumor that the Pill Saint Lu Xuan perished within it? His Legacy is the main prize!"

"That's true. Pill Saint Lu Xuan was the foremost Pill Dao expert from ancient times until now. It's rumored that he created Medicinal Pills beyond the ninth Rank."

"You're talking about the xuantian treasure elixir, aren't you? That's a Medicinal Pill that can cause a Spiritual Root to mutate, at least advancing it to a God-level Spirit Root, achieving a Heaven-Defying change of fate."

"Unfortunately, the Pill Formula completely disappeared with the Pill Saint's demise."

"However, a thousand years ago, someone obtained a damaged xuantian treasure elixir from the Xuanhong Secret Realm, and their Spiritual Root mutated into a God-level Spirit Root."

"This is also why the Xuanhong Secret Realm is so popular!"

"It's rumored that the Heavenly Pill Valley sends people every time the Xuanhong Secret Realm opens, hoping to obtain the pill saint inheritance."

"I don't particularly anticipate the pill saint inheritance or anything like that. If I could just obtain a Divine Artifact... no... if I could obtain a Spirit Treasure, I'd be content."

"Me too!"

"..."

Countless discussions came, and Chu Yuan's expression subtly changed as he quietly gathered information.

pill saint inheritance?

xuantian treasure elixir?

It seems coming to this Secret Realm was indeed the right choice.

He just didn't know if, with his current Luck, he was qualified to obtain it?

Thinking this, Chu Yuan glanced at his special attribute panel.

He saw that the Luck column clearly displayed:

"Luck: 1 (Divine-Grade, current Heaven and Earth limit: Saint Rank)"

More than a year's accumulation of primal divine crystal was no joke.

His Luck Rank had directly bypassed Heaven-Grade and reached Divine-Grade Luck. If he hadn't been concerned about needing source primordial power later, he might have been able to increase it even more.

But how much was left, Chu Yuan actually wasn't sure!

He had thought that for obtaining Opportunities in the Secret Realm, Luck would definitely be very important, which was why he had increased it.

Besides that, he had deliberately changed into black clothes, altered his aura, and put on a simply made mask.

If he weren't incapable of Artifact Refining, he would certainly have prepared a complete set of concealment equipment for himself.

Chu Yuan didn't think any further, his gaze once again sweeping towards the distance.

He saw a spatial vortex floating on a distant mountain Peak, with mysterious Qi flowing around it, emitting a fierce and ominous aura.

A sharp, murderous Qi was faintly discernible, making Chu Yuan secretly feel startled.

"An ancient battlefield?"

"I wonder what kind of great battle happened back then, to make even an entrance emit such terrifying murderous Qi?"

Chu Yuan muttered to himself, but then a sudden commotion erupted from the crowd.

"It's the Xuantian Sect people!"

"The one leading them seems to be Xing Wuxiu, right? He actually came too?"

"This Xing Wuxiu is a leading figure among the younger generation of the Xuantian Sect. It's said that two years ago, at the age of forty-two, he reached the Peak of the Spirit Crystal Realm."

"That's true, but I heard that the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect has a Personal Disciple who, two years ago, at the age of twenty, had already entered the Early Stage of the Spirit Core Realm."

"Her talent is much better than Xing Wuxiu's. It probably won't be long before she surpasses him."

"I heard about that too. They say that person is called Ling Qingxue, and she's as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal!"

"Oh? Since she's a Spirit Core Realm Cultivator, why haven't I seen her? Did she not come?"

"..."

Listening to the crowd's discussions, Chu Yuan looked up at the distant sky.

He saw a massive spirit boat slowly flying over. The spirit boat was carved with Dragons and Phoenixes, ancient and exquisite, yet grand and imposing.

On the side of the spirit boat, a vivid and peculiar pattern was engraved.

The main body of the pattern was a sharp long sword, its blade shimmering with a cold blue light, as if condensed with the chill of a thousand-year-old profound ice.

The sword tip pointed directly at the sky, seemingly wanting to pierce through the clouds and cut through all the gloom in the world.

Around the long sword, a few wisps of ethereal clouds swirled, adding a touch of etherealness and mystery.

Below the long sword was a brilliant green lotus rooted in the earth.

The entire pattern exuded a special aura, capable of shocking the mind.

Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed, his gaze falling upon the spirit boat. He saw a young man in brocade robes standing proudly, his demeanor arrogant.

Behind him were more than twenty young men and women, all with arrogant expressions, stern faces, and unsmiling.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow. Why did he feel that the people of the Xuantian Sect seemed difficult to get along with?

When he saw Shangguan Xinglan, he didn't seem to have this feeling.

Chu Yuan didn't look any further, but another question arose in his mind.

So far, he had only seen Spirit Core Realm and Spirit Crystal Realm Cultivators. Where were the high-Rank Cultivators from those powers?

Was no one leading these low-Rank Cultivators here?

Weren't they afraid that these low-Rank Cultivators would fight over treasures?

Weren't they afraid that other shameless high-Rank Cultivators would launch sneak attacks?

Chu Yuan was puzzled, but no one answered him. It seemed as if everyone present knew the answer, and only he was unaware.

Just then, another commotion erupted among the mountains.

"The Heavenly Pill Valley people are here too."

"Wow, the one leading them is actually Fairy Chu Xuan Ning! The Fairy is truly too beautiful."

"It's said that Fairy Xuan Ning has already broken through to the Spirit Crystal Realm and is even a Rank four Alchemist now."

"Alas, the Fairy is too perfect. One look confirms she is someone I can only look up to!"

"If only I could get a kiss from the Fairy..."

"Get lost!"

"..."

Hearing the clamor, Chu Yuan looked up again, only to see another spirit boat approaching in the distance.
