Three thousand miles west of the Yunteng Empire lies Langya Mountain, the location of the Langya Sacred Ground.

Standing dozens of miles away, one can feel the majestic aura emanating from Langya Mountain, truly worthy of being one of the top sects.

As one of the top sects in the world, Langya Sacred Ground holds immense prestige and is revered by all.

The news of the Azurecloud Sect opening a secret realm spread across the land, naturally reaching Langya Sacred Ground as well.

The lower disciples of Langya Sacred Ground were merely surprised that the Azurecloud Sect had a secret realm to open.

However, the higher-ups of Langya Sacred Ground quickly gathered in the main hall to discuss the matter.

"Have they gone mad at Azurecloud?"

"What secret realm could they possibly open? Isn't it just that one? But can that secret realm really be opened?"

"What exactly is the Azurecloud Sect up to?"

"Opening a secret realm is fine, but if something dangerous is released, it could throw the world into chaos. Doesn't the Azurecloud Sect understand this simple logic?"

Everyone was abuzz with criticism of the Azurecloud Sect's actions.

Seeing the noisy crowd in the hall, the Saint Master of Langya Sacred Ground frowned, also puzzled by the Azurecloud Sect's actions.

At this moment, the crowd finally noticed the Saint Master's expression and fell silent, turning their gaze toward him.

"Saint Master, should we negotiate with Azurecloud about this?" an elder inquired.

The Langya Saint Master slowly replied, "The key issue is that we don't know if the Azurecloud Sect is opening that secret realm. If it's not, then we have no grounds for complaint."

The crowd fell silent.

Someone suddenly said, "Didn't the Azurecloud Sect announce that anyone in the world can participate? In that case, we can send someone to join.

If it is that secret realm, we can then negotiate with Azurecloud.

If it isn't, our representatives can enter and seize some opportunities, achieving two goals at once."

Every secret realm is worth exploring.

Providing an opportunity for Golden Core Realm disciples is something they are very willing to do.

An elder, feeling indignant, said, "The Azurecloud Sect has been dormant for so many years. This time, they are deliberately opening a secret realm, presumably to boost their prestige. If our people also enter their secret realm, aren't we helping them?

I bet the Azurecloud Sect wouldn't dare open that secret realm. It's all just a gimmick to gain influence. The Azurecloud Sect has long fallen out of the ranks of top sects, and regaining influence won't be easy."

After careful consideration, everyone also felt that this might just be a gimmick by the Azurecloud Sect.

They had no idea that this was merely Zhang Yang's scheme to make money, and they were overthinking the issue of the Azurecloud Sect opening a secret realm.

Unable to discern the Azurecloud Sect's intentions, the people of Langya Sacred Ground were a bit troubled.

"Elder Tan has a point," another elder stood up, "but who really knows what the Azurecloud Sect is up to?

So, regardless of the reason for opening the secret realm, we must send someone to check the results.

My suggestion is that we don't participate under the name of Langya Sacred Ground, but rather under the guise of another sect.

After all, we have so many subordinate sects under Langya Sacred Ground, we can just pick one and use their identity."

"Feasible!" The Langya Saint Master nodded, "Let's arrange it that way."

With so many Golden Core disciples in Langya Sacred Ground, selecting a few and finding a Divine Soul Stage leader should be sufficient.

Subsequently, Langya Sacred Ground made arrangements.

At this time, many other top sects in the world were facing the same dilemma as Langya Sacred Ground.

They were all sects with a long history like the Azurecloud Sect and were also puzzled by the Azurecloud Sect's actions.

However, many sects were confident that the Azurecloud Sect wouldn't act recklessly, while others, like Langya Sacred Ground, chose to go and see for themselves.

Some who were not so familiar with the Azurecloud Sect's background went with the intention of plotting against the Azurecloud Sect.

Meanwhile, lower-tier sects saw this as an opportunity and participated in the secret realm opening with excitement.

An entrance fee of ten thousand Spirit Stones, even if a sect sent six disciples, would only amount to sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

This sum of money, even a minor sect could afford.

However, if they could bring back a heavenly treasure from the secret realm, the return would far exceed sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

In such circumstances, countless people, led by their sect elders, headed to the Azurecloud Sect.

The closer they got to the Azurecloud Sect, the more they could feel the gathering crowds.

Anqing City was not far from the Azurecloud Sect.

Moreover, due to the Azurecloud Sect's previous actions, many people in Anqing City were aware of it, especially the family forces in Anqing, who had received the news.

Now that the Azurecloud Sect was opening a secret realm, these family forces regretted not having the opportunity to enter, feeling quite disappointed.

However, many families quickly realized.

Even without the chance to enter the secret realm, they could go to the Azurecloud Sect to make money!

Previously, no one paid attention to the Azurecloud Market, and only some family forces who couldn't compete in Anqing City went to such places as the Azurecloud Market.

But now, with the world rushing in, who doesn't know that the Azurecloud Market holds great opportunities?

So, many family forces brought their funds and rushed to the Azurecloud Market, ready to make a big deal.

At this time, the Azurecloud Market was bustling with crowds.

The news of the Azurecloud Sect opening a secret realm had been out for over a month.

During this month, the entire Azurecloud Market focused on one thing: construction!

Relentless construction!

"Quick, everyone, move faster. Once this period is over, you can all have a good rest. I can guarantee that the rewards you receive during this time will be worth half a lifetime of effort.

You must understand, after this project is completed, payment will be in Spirit Stones, not gold or silver. Each worker will receive no less than a hundred Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to a hundred taels of gold. For you, this might be enough for a lifetime."

As the mayor of Azurecloud Town, Jiang Zhiqiu, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, personally supervised the construction.

He had no choice; Zhang Yang had given a death order for the project to be completed, and the responsibility ultimately fell on Jiang Zhiqiu's shoulders.

Jiang Zhiqiu could only pressure the construction teams, using high wages as leverage.

He even provided some alchemical pills, diluted into drinks, to help the construction teams recover their strength.

There was no other way; without this, the task couldn't be completed.

In the center of Azurecloud Market, a building had already reached three stories high, and construction was in full swing.

This building was the headquarters of the Bluemoon Trading Guild.

Qin Yushu, a Divine Soul Stage cultivator, was also personally overseeing the work.

His task was to ensure the Bluemoon Trading Guild's headquarters was completed within two months.

As he urged the workers, Qin Yushu couldn't help but smile wryly.

He was a Divine Soul Stage cultivator!

Instead of focusing on secluded cultivation, he was here supervising ordinary people in construction?

What had the world come to?
