29: Enter Tianyuan Secret Realm

Qingyun State, Ancient Profound Mountain Range.

Wu Ning and the others strolled around a large city and easily found the location of the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

Then, the group directly arrived at the Ancient Profound Mountain Range.

There was still more than half a year until the Tian Yuan Secret Realm opened, and Wu Ning couldn't wait that long.

At this time, many people had already gathered near the Peak where the Tian Yuan Secret Realm would open, each with a powerful aura, almost all of them King Realm powerhouses.

Among them, only a very few possessed tokens, while the others planned to wait here for an opportunity.

When Wu Ning and the three others arrived, several King Realm powerhouses immediately surrounded them.

"Stop! Hand over your tokens if you don't want to die!" a burly man roared loudly.

A man dressed as a white-robed scholar next to him showed hesitation, transmitting, "Big Brother, an eighth-tier Yao Beast mount, these Little Ones have extraordinary backgrounds, they should have powerful Dao Protectors following them, we..."

The burly man waved his hand, interrupting him, "What are you afraid of? Our five brothers combined, we're not afraid of even a King Realm Peak!"

"These four Little Ones probably all have tokens. If we seize them, plus the one I have, all of us brothers can enter the Secret Realm!"

"At most, we'll only take the tokens and not harm their lives!"

At this moment, everyone near the Secret Realm was drawn to them.

Someone scoffed, "Here come a few more unlucky ones. To dare come here in the Transformation Sea Realm, they truly don't know how to write the word 'death'!"

"What a pity, the Qishan Five Ghosts got to them first."

"Heh heh, I don't think so. These Little Ones have an eighth-tier Yao Beast mount. You can tell they have an extraordinary background at a glance. This time, the Qishan Five Ghosts might kick a steel plate."

An old man stroked his beard and smiled, his gaze distantly appraising Wu Ning and the others' faces.

Unperturbed, they must have something to rely on.

"Big Brother, something seems off?" A black-clothed man frowned.

He noticed that these Little Ones not only showed no panic but also that the chubby Little One among them was actually looking at them with fervent eyes.

It was as if...

He was looking at a girl without clothes!

"Boss, remember to leave the Storage Rings!" Li Yuanbao exclaimed excitedly.

Five King Realm powerhouses, another huge fortune.

Wu Ning glanced at the burly man leading them, his face expressionless, "I hate robbers the most in my life."

"Especially those who rob me!"

"Little One, you're looking for..."

Before the burly man could finish his sentence, he directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Bang bang bang—!

With a few dull thuds, the other four also exploded into vivid clouds of blood mist.

Li Yuanbao excitedly collected the five Storage Rings.

Wu Ning waved his hand, dispelling the blood mist, and his gaze swept over the people near the Secret Realm, who were all as silent as cicadas in winter.

"Found it, let's go."

Wu Ning enveloped Qingniao and the three others with his magical power, disappearing instantly.

Only then did the surrounding people dare to breathe heavily.

"Phew! What a terrifying powerhouse!"

"Fortunately, I didn't make a move, or I'd be dead already."

"I didn't expect it to truly be a steel plate!"

"The Qishan Five Ghosts, now they've truly become five ghosts."

"No, no, they might not even be able to become ghosts, hahahaha..."

...

"This is a Saint-Grade Secret Realm? It's so big!"

Inside the Secret Realm, everyone sat on Qingniao's back, overlooking the entire Secret Realm. It was a vast plain, with no end in sight.

It was like an independent small world.

Wu Ning fully unleashed his Divine Sense, spreading it out rapidly in all directions.

It took him more than ten breaths before he retracted his Divine Sense.

This Secret Realm was indeed not small, covering an area of one hundred thousand li, almost half the size of Yunlan Province.

As expected of one opened by a Saint King powerhouse.

The entire Secret Realm was filled with anti-flight Restrictions, and the ground was also laid out with a large number of terrifying Formations and checkpoints, and powerful Yao Beasts were entrenched everywhere.

Among them were extremely strong eighth-tier Peak Yao Beasts.

Even King Realm powerhouses entering here could fall if they were not careful.

Of course, none of this troubled Wu Ning. He directly used his magical power to shield the anti-flight Restrictions, allowing Qingniao to fly into the depths of the Secret Realm, where there was a magnificent ancient city.

Currently, this ancient city was in a sealed state, covered by an extremely powerful protective barrier that even a low-tier Saint would find difficult to break through.

Wu Ning directly teleported with the others into the ancient city, without damaging the protective barrier above.

The ancient city was very vast and desolate, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life aura, with no living beings within the city.

A moment later, they arrived at an ancient palace in the center of the ancient city.

This was the core of the entire ancient city, and also where the Tian Yuan Saint King left his Legacy.

Swish!

Suddenly, a somewhat illusory white-robed elder appeared out of thin air in the main hall.

"Oh? Who are you? The Secret Realm hasn't opened yet, how did you get in?" the elder asked.

"Of course, we just broke in," Wu Ning replied as if it were the most natural thing.

...

The elder was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, "Forget it, no matter how you got in, if you want to obtain the Legacy, you must first pass the trial."

Wu Ning sized him up, "You should be the Artifact Spirit of this ancient city, right? Do you know if the Tian Yuan Saint King is dead or not?"

"How did you know?" The elder's eyes widened in shock, his figure swaying as if he was about to dissipate from the shock. For the past hundred thousand years, this was the first time someone had seen through his identity. In the past, people who came here all thought he was a wisp of consciousness left behind by the Tian Yuan Saint King.

"I saw it at a glance, is it difficult?"

...

The elder was silent for another moment.

"I don't know if the Tian Yuan Saint King is dead or not, but I think he shouldn't be dead."

"This fellow not only has peerless talent but also cherishes his life greatly, never putting himself in danger."

"As long as he didn't die unexpectedly, I think with his talent, breaking through to a higher Realm shouldn't be a problem. If he's still alive now, he might have already broken through to the Great Emperor Realm!"

"Great Emperor Realm? That strong?" Li Yuanbao and the others were somewhat shocked.

The elder chuckled, "Tian Yuan was hailed as having the potential of a Great Emperor since birth, and his cultivation thereafter progressed by leaps and bounds."

"He became a King Realm at one hundred years old, a Saint at one thousand years old, and reached the Peak of Saint King at three thousand years old, unrivaled in his generation!"

"Now, one hundred thousand years have passed. With his talent, breaking through to the Emperor Realm is definitely not difficult!"

"Of course, the premise is that he is still alive."

"King Realm at one hundred, Saint at one thousand..." Xu Ziqian was dazzled, filled with longing.

He was now twenty years old by traditional Chinese reckoning and had not yet broken through to the Fa Xiang Realm, with the King Realm still a distant dream, let alone the elusive Saint Realm.

It seemed it was time to prepare for a Breakthrough to the Fa Xiang Realm.

"Boss, how old are you this year?" Li Yuanbao turned and asked.

"I'm eighteen," Wu Ning gave him an appreciative look.

"Eighteen?" The elder's gaze fixed on him, "Little Brother, what is your current Realm?"

"Not high, just a Quasi-Emperor, that's all," Wu Ning said indifferently.

"Just a Quasi-Emperor... that's all?!" Σ(っ Ő Д Ő ;)っ The elder's eyes widened, his figure swaying, so shocked he looked like he was about to dissipate.

"How is this possible?"

"An eighteen-year-old Quasi-Emperor, are you joking?"

"Absolutely impossible!!"
