Chapter 105: Giving Him an Opportunity
Who would not be tempted by the Great Emperor’s treasure and the ancient Divine Weapons? If it were not for this restriction, the Sect Masters and Grand Elders would have wanted to enter. At that time, the conflict would be even greater, and it might even escalate into a war between the sects.
If there was a war between sects, not to mention a river of blood, the spiritual energy between the fights would make the space extremely unstable. Hence, there was such a restriction.
The major sects had agreed to send out disciples with outstanding talent and cultivation to participate. They were responsible for guarding the Primal Chaos Secret Realm to prevent the situation where those disciples could not come out if it suddenly closed.
However, the news brought back by the disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect disappointed Wu Huaqing.
“What! There’s no quota for our Supreme Purity Sect? How could this be?”
The disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect said aggrievedly, “Those people said that the other sects all went in groups. Even if they gave us a place, only Senior Brother Gu could participate. If he went into the Secret Realm alone, wouldn’t he be courting death?”
Although the words were not pleasant to hear, there was a certain amount of truth to them.
There was a limited number of places to enter the Secret Realm, so those sects and forces naturally had to firmly grasp it in their hands. A small sect like the Supreme Purity Sect definitely would not have a chance.
“I originally thought that you would be able to obtain the opportunity to show off this time, but this is really surprising.” Wu Huaqing sighed. “However, what they said makes sense. It is indeed very dangerous for you to go alone.”
Who would have thought that Gu Xi would shake his head? He said, “So what if you go alone? It is just an excuse.”
As the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had appeared in the Capital this time, most of the spots had been split among the large factions in the Capital. The others had also split some, but they were all powerful sects.
Although the others had some complaints, they did not dare to do anything. After all, they could not offend such powerful sects.
“If I want to go in, what can they do to me?”
Wu Huaqing did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Don’t be rash. When the time comes, all the Sect Masters and Grand Elders will be present. It’s impossible to force your way in. If they want to stop you from entering, I’m afraid–”
Of course, Gu Xi would not be so stupid as to do that openly. He guessed that it was very likely that those factions were afraid of Gu Xi or for some other reason.
Just as the two of them were discussing how to obtain a spot, a disciple rushed in from outside. He panted and said, “Green Lotus Princess’s maid is here!”
Wu Haiqing and Gu Xi looked at each other. Why would Green Lotus Princess send someone over at this time?
Not to mention the other disciples, their eyes were filled with gossip.
“My Princess said that if Young Master Gu wants to participate in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, she can help.”
Although these words were tactful, everyone understood the meaning behind it and could not help but show a surprised expression.
Especially Wu Huaqing and the others. They thought that there was no hope, but they did not expect Green Lotus Princess to help. There was always a silver lining, and the willows and the flowers were bright again.
The maid left after passing the message.
The disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect gathered around and winked at each other. “Senior Brother Gu, you’re really something. Even the Princess looks at you differently.”
Gu Xi recalled Green Lotus Princess’s various actions and could not figure out what she was trying to do. However, since there was such an opportunity in front of him, he naturally would not let it go.
To a sect like the Supreme Purity Sect, obtaining a spot in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm without a strong relationship was even more difficult than ascending to the Heavens. However, to Green Lotus Princess, it was a trivial matter.
“Let’s not waste any time. Then, let’s head to the Secret Realm now!”
The people of the Supreme Purity Sect rushed over one after another.
In the southernmost part of the Capital, this place was north of the Taocang Mountain Range and west of the Forest of the Mirage Sea. The mountains were covered in lush greenery. The deeper they went, the lower the temperature would be. They were about to reach the junction between the Capital and the Northern Cold Zone.
Along the way, there was very little vegetation. Only the bare mountain peaks were left. From afar, it looked like a vast expanse of whiteness. Several snow mountains rose up from the ground and connected to the sky. It was as if the entire world was covered in white. It was completely different from the scenery in the Capital city.
Due to the remote location and the lack of people, in addition to the harsh environment, the peak was covered in snow all year round. Ordinary demonic beasts rarely appeared. Unless they were powerful, only the snow beasts that grew here could live.
Moreover, these snow beasts were all extremely powerful. They liked to appear in groups, and their combat strength was even more terrifying.
Right now, a huge black hole appeared above. It was as if there was a hole in the sky, faintly revealing a powerful aura. The cold wind was biting cold, like a bone-piercing steel blade.
The Primal Chaos Secret Realm was within it, almost covering the entire snow peak. It was exceptionally obvious in the white world.
Before it was fully revealed, there was a thin layer of gray fog that concealed the aura within. Only a small portion of it was transmitted outside. The first ones to be discovered were the imperial city guards stationed here. The Imperial Family later found out about this matter.
As time passed, the gray fog gradually dispersed. It could no longer conceal the secrets of the Heavens. After the aura was leaked, the various great sects and factions also found out.
When it completely dispersed, the divine objects would flash by from time to time, illuminating half of the sky. They were comparable to ten suns, and could be seen from thousands of miles away. Only then did everyone know about it.
“Further ahead is the border of the Northern Cold Zone. Because the Northern Cold Zone has snow all year round, the temperature here is more or less affected. There isn’t any special scenery, only a few snow-capped mountains.”
Other than Wu Huaqing and Gu Xi, the other disciples seemed unable to resist the cold here. They all circulated the spiritual energy in their bodies.
They rubbed their hands together and exhaled white mist.
There was already quite a bit of snow on the ground, but footprints could be seen everywhere, as if they had come a long time ago.
“We’re not the earliest ones here. Those well-informed local forces of the Capital probably received the news long ago.”
