As Yu Xiyan composed herself and launched an offensive against the Northern Barbarians deep into the Great Wilderness, Shen Zhao and Ding Bu'er had already embarked on their journey to find the Yun Mansion.

On this day, while passing through Tianxuan City, the two heard some news in the market.

Have you heard?

"What did you hear?"

"A month ago, a secret realm appeared in the Four Extremes Mountain. The spiritual energy leaking out was extremely rich, attracting many powerful people to covet it."

"You mean the Four Extremes Mountain? How could such a high-level secret realm appear in that desolate place?"

"It must be a world created by some ancient powerful being, containing many treasures. Anyone who gets even a trace of it will be guaranteed to have their whole family ascend to heaven."

"In that case, shouldn't we go and give it a try?"

"Forget it. Many sects and geniuses are participating in the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm this time. There are at least 80,000 to 100,000 people, including some with heaven-defying cultivation levels. Even if we go, it won't be a chance for us Body Tempering Realm cultivators."

"We can scavenge some unwanted junk on the outskirts. If we happen to find a spiritual herb, we might be able to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm in one fell swoop."

“What you said seems to make sense. Let’s invite Wang Ergou and Li Sanniu from next door to go together. It’s better if there are more people so we can look out for each other.”

After listening to the passerby's words, Shen Zhao grabbed the group and asked, "Gentlemen, I just heard you talking about the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm. What exactly is going on?"

Passerby A: "Hey friend, did your village just get internet? You didn't know about something this big?"

The Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm opened a month ago, with the sect leader of the Haotian Sect personally overseeing the event, inviting cultivators from all walks of life to explore it on the 13th of this month.

Shen Zhao: "Why let ants like the Haotian Sect preside over such an awesome event?"

Passerby B: "Friend? Do you know what the background of the Clear Sky Sect is?"

Passerby C: "The Haotian Sect is so ethereal and transcendent, how could a rogue cultivator like you gossip about it behind its back? Sect Master Duanmu Long's cultivation has reached the half-step Wuwu realm, which is quite an extraordinary existence."

Passerby Ding: "It's normal for you rogue cultivators to be ignorant of the world. You think you're invincible just because you've learned a little bit."

Little did the frog at the bottom of the well know how vast the sky truly is.

Passersby were talking amongst themselves, looking down on Shen Zhao and his companion.

Seeing that he couldn't communicate normally with these little karami, Shen Zhao rolled up his sleeves and slapped one of them with a "snap," making the little karami see stars and look dazed.

"Can't you speak properly now?"

The entire room fell silent. The force of the slap had been felt by the dozen or so people around, and their cheeks felt as if they had been cut by a knife.

"Young hero, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please feel free to ask me anything." The beaten little Karami immediately cowered like a dog.

"I ask you, how many forces are involved in this Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm?"

"There are too many to count in a short time."

"Speak the important points."

“The Taichu Peak, Hehuan Sect, Tianmo Sect, Wanmo Sect, and Haotian Sect all participated. It also seems that the Yun family of the South Sea and the Yuwen family of the Northern Underworld also sent their clansmen.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao immediately abandoned Xiao Kalami and said to Ding Bu'er, "There's no need to go to Yun Mansion. Let's go to Siji Mountain instead."

Ding Bu'er was shocked: "Master Chen, are you crazy? The Four Extremes Mountain is not like the Fuxi Abyss. There are no cultivation restrictions for entering and leaving there."

"Nonsense, of course I know what you're saying, but didn't you hear them say that the South China Sea Cloud Mansion is also there? Maybe we can run into Su Yunying and the others there, so we won't have to make another wasted trip."

"My God, Master Chen, the Four Extremes Mountain is full of experts. This battlefield with tens of thousands of people is bound to be a bloodbath."

"We've wiped out hundreds of thousands of people, why bother with a mere few tens of thousands? Go buy some dry rations, we'll set off immediately."

"That has to be agreed upon. Going to the Four Extremes Mountain is fine, but Mr. Shen, you must ensure my safety no matter what."

"Okay, as long as I don't die, you'll be fine, alright?"

"That's enough. We can look for some opportunities in the process, hehe~"

...

Because of the tight schedule, Shen Zhao and Ding Bu'er ultimately failed to make it to the opening day of the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm.

On March 13th, the Siji Mountain was packed with people, their figures jostling and pushing each other.

"Quiet down, all of you!"

Duanmu Long, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, stood atop the mountain and roared, silencing the endless noise.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Duanmu Long, the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect. Today, entrusted by my fellow Daoists, I have come to preside over the opening ceremony of the Four Extremes Mountain."

The Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm is rich in spiritual energy, which greatly benefits your cultivation. Those with lower cultivation levels do not need to painstakingly compete for opportunities; they can use the spiritual energy of the secret realm to improve their cultivation and still gain considerable benefits.

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice rang out.

"According to Sect Master Duanmu, those with low cultivation levels deserve to give up their opportunities to those with high cultivation levels."

I just want to ask one question: which blind fool made this rule? Is there no law, no justice?

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Long looked over and saw a young man in his early thirties standing at the foot of the mountain, his hands behind his back, looking at him arrogantly.

Who are you?

"I am Liang Hao! I am a mere hair on the leg of the law enforcement elder of the Public Tribunal. If you know what's good for you, quickly kowtow and kneel down to listen to my teachings."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"Who do you think is so powerful? Oh, it's the arbitration committee."

What is a jury? Is it powerful?

"I'll explain later, the arbitration committee is..."

"He's got some nerve, daring to slap the Haotian Sect in public. He's got a death wish."

Qin Feng, who was in the distance, heard Liang Hao's words and couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "This kind of rich kid probably doesn't know who he has offended. As expected, people from aristocratic families are all good-for-nothings."
