224: Strong men from all sides gathered at Taixuan

Yun Province, Tianjue Ridge.

This is where the Tai Xuan Secret Realm is located. Its terrain is extremely rugged, and within a three-hundred-mile radius, there is no sign of human habitation. However, at this moment, it is bustling with activity, filled with the clamor of voices, with over a thousand people gathered.

The crowd surged, bustling and lively.

Those who could come here were all powerful individuals, basically none below the Vajra Realm, and there were even many experts of the Void Realm staying here.

There was even a temporary trading market, where most people sat on the ground, displaying items they wished to sell.

Or they traded goods, each taking what they needed.

After all, if it weren't for the barrier-breaking immortal fruit, how could so many powerful individuals gather here on a normal day?

"The First Volume of the Buddha's Palm, a great Divine Ability of Buddhism. Those with destiny can comprehend it. Only three thousand taels of gold."

"A thousand-year fire spirit mushroom, ten thousand taels of gold per portion."

"Ten Spirit Stones, seeking to purchase one Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus!"

"Mysterious copper piece, containing an old man, helping you soar to the sky, only five Spirit Stones!"

"Fragments of a High Grade Spiritual Artifact just unearthed, only one hundred Spirit Stones."

Various hawking sounds rose and fell, one more exaggerated than the last, ceaselessly.

However, true experts above the Void Realm generally disdained these street vendor goods. How many good items could there be that ended up on a street stall?

"Xuan'er, come with me to find some treasures!"

Yang Huo scoffed, his eyes shining as he looked at the long string of street vendor goods.

"Master, your Eagle Eye Divine Skill isn't a Heavenly Eye. Please don't go throwing money away, okay?"

Shi Qingxuan shook her head. The Eagle Eye Divine Skill only allowed one to see far, it wasn't omnipotent.

"Forget it, Yang Huo has this temperament. Even if he's tricked dozens of times, he won't change."

The old man beside him sighed.

These people were from the Golden Eagle Gate of Fire Province, and they came to the Tai Xuan Secret Realm for other Opportunities.

As for the barrier-breaking immortal fruit, that was something for the great figures of the Void Realm to contend for.

Even if it fell into their hands, they wouldn't be able to keep it.

Just as they were discussing, someone shouted.

"Look, it's the Flying Snake King of Golden Serpent Valley!"

Everyone looked up and saw a Flying Snake King soaring through the sky.

On the Flying Snake King, more than thirty people stood.

Among them were five Elders, and the rest were young people.

"It's Jin She Lan, Valley Master, she actually came, this old undying one."

"Four of the Golden Serpent Valley's five Grand Elders are here. It seems they are determined to obtain the barrier-breaking immortal fruit."

"Don't forget, there's also the Flying Snake King, a beast that guards the valley, with six Divine Powers. What a grand display."

Everyone's expressions changed. The more powerful individuals there were, the fiercer the competition for the barrier-breaking immortal fruit would be. If there were several barrier-breaking immortal fruits, it would be fine, but if there was only one...

A handsome young man looked up at the sky, his Face ashen. He didn't know which bastard spread the news that there was a barrier-breaking immortal fruit in the Tai Xuan Secret Realm.

Now, powerful individuals were gathered.

The difficulty of obtaining that item had greatly increased.

The young man was naturally Gongsun Sheng, though his Soul had long been occupied by the Earthly Fiend Star's Divided Soul.

His strength had already reached the Peak Grandmaster Realm.

But compared to that abnormal Chu Jiang, he was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away. He just couldn't understand if that guy had eaten an Immortal Pill or what.

His Realm Breakthrough was like child's play.

Just as the Earthly Fiend Star was in a Divided Soul state, another whistling sound came from the sky.

"It's the Seven Stars Sword of Seven Stars Valley!"

"Yu Hualing, Valley Master, ranked twelfth on the xuan ranking, personally leading the team, it's too crazy."

However, Yu Hualing, Valley Master only brought two Divine Power Elders. The remaining dozens of people were all young members of the valley, clearly here for experience.

"Jin She Lan, Valley Master, you've certainly arrived early!"

Every gesture and smile of Yu Hualing, Valley Master was enchanting and captivating.

That allure was like strong liquor, leaving many young Disciples in the audience stunned, their hearts pounding, and their bodies burning with desire.

Truly a human enchantress.

"Same to you!"

Jin She Lan, Valley Master said coldly.

"Seductive vixen!"

Another hour passed.

From the Void Realm, it was as if heavenly thunder roared, deafeningly.

A giant, ten feet tall, like a demon god descending from the sky, landed heavily on the ground, his red hair flying like burning flames.

"Tuo Ba Ye!"

Jin She Lan, Valley Master's Face slightly changed. He actually smelled a faint sense of danger from this person, though it wasn't fatal, it was indeed much stronger than when they last met.

He was estimated to have already entered Divine Power Level Nine.

"Three of the Four Valleys have arrived, what a grand scene. If Heavenly Talisman Valley also came, then it would be lively."

"Forget it, Heavenly Talisman Valley never explores these Secret Realms."

Heavenly Talisman Valley always sought stability and would not participate in such risky competitions.

The power of Heavenly Talisman Valley relied entirely on archaeology.

They hadn't even fully understood their own Legacy, so naturally, they wouldn't get involved in this muddy water.

"It's the Golden Light of Earth Evasion!"

A powerful individual exclaimed, looking towards the distant horizon.

"Wang Xuance, the Daoist of Taiping Temple, ranked fourth on the xuan ranking!"

At this point, almost everyone stood up, their breathing rapid.

Among the current generation of Taiping Temple, only one person knew the Golden Light of Earth Evasion technique. This was the most powerful evasion technique of the Taiping Dao, and its speed was beyond imagination.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoists!"

Wang Xuance politely cupped his hands.

"Greetings, Daoist!"

Below.

A young man in a dark red robe looked at Wang Xuance, a strange glint in his eyes. This person's strength was not below his, which was interesting.

One must know, he possessed the Black Dragon Body.

Invincible in the same Realm.

However.

As long as he advanced to Divine Power Level Ten, any Genius would pale in comparison to him.

No one could withstand a single move from him.

"This Tai Xuan Secret Realm was discovered by the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division and the Sizhou Demon Suppression Division. Is it appropriate for us to make such a big fuss without greeting them?"

Someone asked.

"What? The treasures of this Tai Xuan Secret Realm belong to the capable. It's not the private property of their Demon Suppression Division. Can they prevent this Venerable One from entering the Secret Realm?"

Tuo Ba Ye said disdainfully. If Chu Jiang was not sensible, then he shouldn't blame him for not giving him Face and publicly teaching him a lesson.

After entering the Secret Realm, he would find an Opportunity to seize his Legacy.

A mere Divine Power Level Five, even if he concealed his strength, what if he was Divine Power Level Seven?

He would just withstand a few more punches from him.

The Physical Body Cultivation Technique he Cultivated had already reached sixty-eight elephants in strength. Even a Divine Power Level Nine practitioner would not be able to defeat him in a contest of strength.

"What Valley Master Tuo Ba said is reasonable. In the past, there was no barrier-breaking immortal fruit, so now it naturally cannot be occupied by the two factions as before."

Jin She Lan, Valley Master also stepped forward to fan the flames.

"I propose that our three valleys and the Daoist discuss the quotas for entering the Secret Realm."

After all, the fewer people who entered, the greater their gains.

"I will not participate. My purpose for this trip is not the barrier-breaking immortal fruit."

Wang Xuance said indifferently. These people dragging him in were merely trying to use his name to conduct their affairs. He wasn't that foolish.

"My Seven Stars Valley will also not participate. I think this matter should be decided by your two valleys. I will listen to your esteemed decision, even if there are no quotas for our Seven Stars Valley, it is fine."

Yu Hualing, Valley Master smiled charmingly, captivating the Soul.

Jin She Lan, Valley Master's Face was ashen. It was one thing for Wang Xuance not to get involved, but what was Yu Hualing, Valley Master doing?

A decision by two valleys lacked sufficient persuasiveness.

"Yu Hualing, Valley Master, today the three valleys are discussing the quotas. Whether you come or not, it will be announced in the name of the three valleys. You will not be absent."

Tuo Ba Ye said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hualing, Valley Master's Face immediately turned cold and she said, "Tuo Ba Ye, it seems I didn't beat you hard enough last time, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of me!"

"I am presumptuous, what's wrong? Even you are mine. Why don't you come back to Icefire Valley with me and be my Valley Master's wife? How about it?"

Tuo Ba Ye laughed loudly, seemingly not putting Yu Hualing, Valley Master in his eyes at all.

"Courting death!"

Yu Hualing, Valley Master's aura turned cold, like an immortal canopy, and she instantly disappeared from her spot, engaging Tuo Ba Ye in battle.

"Perfect!"

Tuo Ba Ye roared, his muscles bulging like a Dragon.

He naturally intentionally provoked Yu Hualing, Valley Master.

It was a good Opportunity to test his improved strength.

As for Jin She Lan, Valley Master, he no longer held her in his eyes.

The fierce battle between two powerful individuals above Divine Power Level Seven was like the collision of two meteors, shocking the hearts of all.

Rumbling sounds echoed throughout heaven and earth, and the Void Realm itself was tearing apart.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

The two separated like lightning.

Yu Hualing, Valley Master had a trace of crimson at the corner of her mouth, having sustained a slight injury. In contrast, Tuo Ba Ye was like a towering mountain, completely unharmed.

The two returned to their respective positions, not continuing the fight.

Tuo Ba Ye also knew when to stop, as he was only testing his strength, not fighting to the death with her.

The two had been fighting for hundreds of years, and each time he had been suppressed, but now he had finally turned the tables.

"This xuan ranking is probably going to change again. Twelfth place, Tuo Ba Ye."

The crowd below whispered and discussed.

However, the allocation of quotas continued.

Finally, the two valleys announced the results.

The quotas for the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division and the Sizhou Demon Suppression Division were halved, with only fifty people from each province, totaling one hundred people.

As for the powerful individuals from other provinces, they collectively had four hundred quotas.

The three valleys occupied three hundred quotas, the remaining seventy quotas were given to other forces, and thirty quotas were given to Loose Cultivators.

Although the three valleys did not have one hundred people, the excess quotas were clearly intended for sale.

"Pacification Envoy, these factions are simply too much! This Tai Xuan Secret Realm was clearly discovered by us and the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, yet they stripped us of our quotas with just a few words."

"Instead, they increased their own quotas by four hundred!"

Zhang Tie's Face on the side was frosty.

"What are you anxious about? Chu Garrison Envoy hasn't even spoken yet, and these people have already finished allocating the quotas and even compressed the quotas for the two provinces, it's simply ridiculous."

Commander Xing scoffed.

"Let's wait until he arrives. He's not someone who suffers losses. Even if quotas are to be divided, it has to be him. The situation is stronger than us, let's not concern ourselves with him for now."

Pacification Envoy Jin also said.

This world is indeed so cruel. Whoever has the bigger fist, that is the truth. If a treasure appears on your territory and you are weak, you cannot keep it.

If it weren't for them still bearing the name of the Demon Suppression Division, out of consideration for their last bit of Face, otherwise, these fifty quotas would have been completely stripped away.

Not long after, a towering warship, like a moving fortress, appeared above Tianjue Ridge.

Layers of golden Dao, like a heavenly ladder descending from the sky, unfolded, and a group of Demon Suppression Guards swept down from the warship like a gust of wind.

"This aura, no need to guess, it must be the Yun Province Pacification Commissioner!"

"Nonsense, only he always has golden Dao paving the way wherever he goes, making the Demon Suppression Guards look like heavenly soldiers."

"Now there's a good show to watch. Chu Jiang is not an ordinary person. He dares to beat anyone who crosses him, and he's a ruthless character who will kill anyone who provokes him."

After all, Tuo Ba Ye had just compressed the one hundred quotas belonging to Yun Province to fifty.

"Greetings, Chu Garrison Envoy!"

Many people stood up and saluted. Not everyone, like Tuo Ba Ye, possessed formidable strength and could set rules. Even if Chu Jiang was a bit weaker than Tuo Ba Ye.

He was still not someone they could compare to.
