Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone entering the secret realm gathered at the Azurecloud Sect's mountain gate as instructed, waiting to enter the realm.

At the mountain gate, Zhang Yang, Situ Mingyue, Jiang Zhiqiu, and Chunxiao, along with a large group of Foundation Establishment disciples who had successfully reached the Sea-parting Stage, were already waiting. As for those Foundation Establishment disciples who hadn't succeeded, they watched enviously from the sidelines.

Seeing so many people from the Azurecloud Sect entering, some felt reassured, believing that the sect wouldn't harm its own disciples, and that their disciples would be safe. However, some looked at Zhang Yang and the others with strange expressions, and even more were seen using spiritual communication to instruct the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Azurecloud Sect.

Zhang Yang looked at the arriving crowd and whispered, "Master, since you are so familiar with the secret realm, I need to ask you a favor: keep a close eye on everyone entering the realm. See who is connecting with our disciples, and also observe the behavior of people from other sects once they enter."

Although he couldn't see Qingyunzi, he knew Qingyunzi could hear him.

This was his ten years of experience in the Azurecloud Sect; Qingyunzi was practically omnipresent within the sect's territory.

"It would be best if we could record all the images. We can view them ourselves, but don't show them to others," Zhang Yang emphasized.

"Just focus on your cultivation once you're inside!" Qingyunzi replied irritably.

This secret realm was formed from a painting, with all actions preserved within it, allowing him to view them at any time.

Of course, because it was a painting, he was confident in ensuring everyone's safety.

Bilingzi, seeing everyone had arrived, said, "Everyone, prepare!"

She activated the array she had set up, transferring everyone who came to participate into the secret realm in the back mountain.

Once inside the secret realm, everyone was randomly scattered across various locations.

Zhang Yang felt a spatial shift and found himself by a large lake.

As he was observing, a red shadow suddenly shot towards him from the lake.

Zhang Yang threw the Celestial Net, aiming it at the red shadow.

However, just as the Celestial Net appeared, the red shadow turned and disappeared into the water.

"It seemed like a fish!" Zhang Yang was a bit surprised.

In his perception, the power of that red shadow was no less than that of the Golden Core Realm.

A demonic beast... a demon fish?

He became somewhat excited. If he could catch this fish, could he try to absorb the power of the Great Dao from the demon fish?

He waited silently by the lake, hoping for the fish to reappear.

But the water's surface remained calm, not even a bug in sight, let alone a fish demon.

Zhang Yang waited quietly by the lake, not in a hurry to explore the secret realm, knowing he could enter it anytime.

Meanwhile, inside the secret realm, over a thousand people had already formed into groups.

"Find her. I must capture her this time!" Tan Yaoguang said fiercely to the two Golden Core disciples beside him. "Our Langya Sacred Ground can't lose face like this. Once we capture Situ Mingyue, we'll dual cultivate here, and then Azurecloud Sect will have no choice but to release her."

"Senior Brother Tan, we also need to explore the secret realm. We mustn't forget that," the other two Golden Core disciples reminded him.

"We've just entered, and there's a whole month to explore the secret realm!" Tan Yaoguang said confidently.

Although his possessions had been taken by Zhang Yang, Jiang Hegui had given Tan Yaoguang some magical treasures to complete his mission in the secret realm.

These treasures were no less than his original ones, perhaps even better.

So now, Tan Yaoguang was very confident.

But the secret realm was vast; who knew where Situ Mingyue was?

"Senior Brother Tan, doesn't that look like the Longevity Fruit used to refine the Longevity Pill..." one of the Golden Core disciples suddenly pointed at a green fruit in the distance, shocked.

Tan Yaoguang looked closely and was overjoyed. "It's truly the Longevity Fruit. We must take it back; our sect's elders rely on it for longevity."

With that, the three of them rushed towards the Longevity Fruit.

Just as they were about to approach, a person in yellow clothing had already picked the Longevity Fruit.

"Put it down, that's ours!" Tan Yaoguang shouted angrily.

The person in yellow turned to look at Tan Yaoguang and the others, smiling slightly. "People from Langya Sacred Ground? The Longevity Fruit is mine now."

Tan Yaoguang said coldly, "Since you know we're from Langya Sacred Ground, put down the Longevity Fruit, or we'll be unkind to you. Even if you take the Longevity Fruit, your sect will obediently send it to us."

The person in yellow gave a strange smile and revealed a mark. "Are you sure?"

Tan Yaoguang and his companions were speechless upon seeing the mark.

"We might need to cooperate later, so I'll be off!" The person in yellow left.

Tan Yaoguang and his companions watched him leave, then sighed, "People from the Wanling Sect are here too, and they're so low-key, not revealing their identity!"

The other two Golden Core disciples glanced at Tan Yaoguang. If it weren't for him causing trouble at the Bluemoon Trading Guild, who would have known their identity?

Tan Yaoguang frowned. It seemed that these top sects were wary of the Azurecloud Sect's secret realm.

What exactly was in the Azurecloud Secret Realm?

After discovering the Longevity Fruit, the three began to pay more attention to the treasures within the secret realm.

While still searching for Situ Mingyue, they also sought out heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Inside the secret realm, battles quickly broke out over these treasures.

Meanwhile, the group waiting outside the Azurecloud Sect's mountain gate was shocked to see someone covered in blood appear outside just a day after entering the secret realm.

It was clear that a life-and-death situation had occurred, and the Azurecloud Sect had rescued them.

These were, of course, the people who hadn't signed a life-and-death agreement, hence enjoying such privileges.

Seeing their sect's disciple appear, a Nascent Soul Stage elder hurriedly approached, both anxious and regretful, asking, "Why are you out? What happened?"

"Master, I obtained the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass! Many came to seize it, and I swore to protect it. At the brink of death, a force suddenly pulled me out."

The Nascent Soul Stage elder was momentarily stunned, then shouted excitedly.

Their participation in the secret realm at Azurecloud Sect had cost many spirit stones.

But obtaining a Nine-turn Resurrection Grass far exceeded all expenses.

It was one of the high-grade spiritual herbs for alchemy, the main ingredient for refining the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill, and extremely valuable.

Whether traded or offered to the upper sect, this herb could bring tremendous benefits to their sect.

The surrounding people had overheard the conversation.

Their expressions became serious.

The Azurecloud Sect had indeed been generous, opening a secret realm with such incredible treasures, even high-grade spiritual herbs like the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass.

They began to anticipate what other wonders the secret realm might hold.

But moments later, another bloodied figure appeared at the mountain gate.

Emerging, they immediately cried for help!

The crowd looked at the person, nearly disemboweled, and exchanged glances.

What had they encountered?

This secret realm was more dangerous than imagined!
