57: Bet, secret realm opens!

Although Lu Hao wouldn't give them the Luck Cauldron, for Core Formation Cultivators, a slight boost was already more than enough; too much and he feared they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Everyone lined up, passing one by one under the Luck Cauldron.

As they passed through, a peculiar feeling emerged in their hearts.

It was as if the entire world was filled with goodwill towards them.

Lu Hao watched with a smile, not explaining much, as this matter was too astonishing.

In a short while, all three hundred and fifty people were ready. Lu Hao waved his hand and led them to the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

The area outside the Tian Yuan Secret Realm was already bustling with people.

Even those who didn't get a spot came to watch the excitement.

They also wanted to see which children of Luck would be able to obtain Heaven-Defying Opportunities within it.

Lu Hao and his group slowly arrived.

The people gathered around made way for them, as they had seen earlier that even the Elder of Heaven Sword Sect, a mighty Void Refining expert, treated him with great respect.

This matter had long spread throughout the entire Heaven Sword Sect territory.

In Nansu City's Qingxuan Sect, there was an peerless expert, a white-robed young man, exceptionally handsome.

Seeing someone similar now, naturally no one dared to block his way.

Everyone watched Lu Hao and his group enter near the Secret Realm entrance. Nascent Soul and above Cultivators sensed something was amiss.

Three hundred and fifty Core Formation Great Perfection Cultivators!!!

And each of them had an incredibly profound and solid aura, almost comparable to some early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators!

How on earth were so many excellent Disciples cultivated?!

Perhaps only Heaven Sword Sect could achieve such a feat?

The Qingxuan Sect members sat down cross-legged, not saying a word.

It wasn't that they didn't want to speak; it was that as soon as they opened their mouths, their Origin Qi would escape. They were all holding their Qi in.

They were just waiting to Breakthrough immediately after entering the Secret Realm.

As long as their cultivation was Core Formation upon entry, those who Breakthrough within the Secret Realm would not be expelled.

While waiting, Rong Yuanliang also arrived with the Heaven Sword Sect's team.

Lu Hao's gaze swept over them; Heaven Sword Sect had brought a full twelve hundred Cultivators!

Lu Hao also admired this slightly.

Heaven Sword Sect was indeed very good to its subordinate forces, willing to distribute half of the spots.

"Brother Lu, it's been a while."

"Haha, Brother Rong, how have you been lately?"

"I'm doing quite well, naturally. I see that each of your Qingxuan Sect's Disciples has an incredibly full aura. Could it be that they've all reached the Core Formation limit?"

"Brother Rong has a Wisdom Eye; that is indeed the case."

"Truly remarkable. At least my Heaven Sword Sect can't do that yet. Brother Lu, how about we make a bet?"

"Oh? How do we bet?"

"Let's bet on which of our two Sects can obtain more Opportunities in this Secret Realm. What do you think, Brother Lu?"

Lu Hao almost burst out laughing after hearing that and immediately said:

"Good, good, good. You said it, a word spoken is a promise that cannot be broken. What's the stake?"

Rong Yuanliang was slightly surprised by Lu Hao's confident demeanor. Their numbers were more than three times that of Qingxuan Sect. Where did he get such confidence?

One must know that obtaining Opportunities in a Secret Realm doesn't just depend on cultivation, but also on Luck.

However, since the words had been spoken, he naturally wouldn't go back on them.

"I'll bet a spot in the Eastern Region Relic. This Relic will open in ten years, and it was originally meant for me. If Brother Lu wins, I'll yield it to you."

Lu Hao thought for a moment and then readily agreed. After this Tian Yuan Secret Realm ended, he would let his Disciple personally take revenge.

Then he planned to take his Disciple out to travel and explore, to see the scenery of the Major Thousand Worlds, and return to Qingxuan Sect to rest when they got tired.

"Good, Brother Rong is offering such an important spot as a stake, so I naturally can't fall behind. If I lose, how about I give you an Immortal Grade Magic Treasure?"

Upon hearing the words "Immortal Grade Magic Treasure," Rong Yuanliang's pupils constricted, and his mind went blank.

Immortal Grade! His Heaven Sword Sect didn't even have an Immortal Grade Magic Treasure. Such Magic Treasures were probably only possessed by the super forces of the Eastern Region.

If he hadn't known Lu Hao for a long time and understood that he wasn't one to boast, he would have thought this person was spouting nonsense!

Even though he understood Lu Hao's character, he couldn't help but wonder, could Lu Hao really produce an Immortal Grade Magic Treasure?

He chose to believe the other party.

"Good, good, good, Brother Lu is indeed a man of grand gestures. Even I covet this Immortal Grade Magic Treasure greatly. It seems I have no choice but to win this bet."

Rong Yuanliang turned to the Heaven Sword Sect members and said:

"In this Secret Realm, everyone must do their best! If we win the bet, I will personally cover all the resources for your cultivation to Nascent Soul Perfection! Those who successfully obtain an Opportunity, I will fund your cultivation to Soul Transformation!"

"Of course, you are not allowed to compete maliciously or forcibly seize Qingxuan Sect's Opportunities!"

Although the bet was very important, Rong Yuanliang still restrained his Disciples.

As soon as Rong Yuanliang spoke, each of the Heaven Sword Sect Disciples became as if injected with a stimulant! Their faces turned red, and their hearts were already uncontrollably excited, wishing they could immediately rush into the Secret Realm to search for Opportunities!

Even in Heaven Sword Sect, most cultivation resources still had to be earned by oneself. Now that such a great fortune had fallen upon them, how could they not be excited?

After all, their numbers were several times that of the other side.

Lu Hao looked indifferently at the high-spirited Heaven Sword Sect members, thinking with a chuckle:

"Give up on that idea. If you can get any Opportunities, that means my Qingxuan Sect Disciples didn't clean up thoroughly enough!"

"Everyone, whoever doesn't get an Opportunity, go sweep the streets for me when you get back!"

Lu Hao ordered.

...

As the surrounding noise grew louder and louder, the Tian Yuan Secret Realm was finally about to open.

The entire Secret Realm was actually covered by a shocking Formation, and only at a specific time would the Formation open a portal, allowing those holding tokens to enter.

The time had come!

The shocking Formation began to slowly operate, emitting a strong golden light that blinded the surrounding people.

Then, with a loud bang, the light dispersed, and a huge portal ten meters long and three meters wide appeared above the Formation.

Above the portal, dark black light slowly flowed, giving off a mysterious feeling.

"Everyone, if not now, then when?"

Rong Yuanliang said.

Upon hearing this, everyone surged into the Secret Realm like locusts.

Due to the Formation, what appeared to be only a few thousand square meters from the outside was actually a world of its own inside!

Firstly, the concentration of Origin Qi, though not as dense as the Gathering Qi Tower within Qingxuan Sect, was still more than twenty times that of the outside world.

The area within was extremely vast! It was thousands or even tens of thousands of times larger than the battlefield within the Qiankun Scroll!

In this Secret Realm, the southern part was filled with continuous, winding mountain ranges, like a giant Dragon coiled on the earth, stretching as far as the eye could see.

To the east was an endless ocean, with surging waves crashing against the coastal reefs, emitting deafening roars.

To the west was a vast and wide grassland, where gentle breezes stirred layers of green waves, extending all the way to the horizon.

To the north was a lush forest, with tall and straight trees densely arranged, and sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Even more astonishing was that this Secret Realm also nurtured a wide variety of Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Plants.

The Spirit Beasts, some small and exquisite, others mighty and majestic, moved through the mountains and forests, emitting roars.

The Spiritual Plants emitted peculiar fluctuations, swaying gently with the breeze.

These precious resources were scattered throughout the entire Secret Realm, waiting for everyone to collect and explore.

This was simply a self-contained Small World!

Upon entering the Secret Realm, everyone was randomly teleported to different locations.
