"So strong!"

Chen Tianwen's eyes narrowed, and he sighed inwardly.

This was the first time Chen Tianwen had seen Cui Xiangdong make a move, and with just one move, he instantly killed Wang Kun, who was a level above him.

If Chen Tianwen were to make a move, he is confident that he could defeat Wang Kun after a hard-fought battle, but it would definitely not be so easy.

Chen Tianwen even had a feeling that Cui Xiangdong's strength must have already surpassed that of Zhao Xiuqi, who was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

"As expected of a disciple of the Holy Cloud Sect, with such strength, he would probably get a very high ranking if he participated in the interdimensional war."

Chen Tianwen sighed inwardly.

"If you try to escape again, I'll shatter your Qi Sea."

Cui Xiangdong's tone was calm, but it made Wang Kun tremble.

Wang Kun's current situation is that he can't fight back, he can't run away, and he's afraid to die.

If Cui Xiangdong really breaks through Wang Kun's Qi Sea, it will definitely be worse than death for him. Moreover, Wang Kun firmly believes that Cui Xiang not only has the strength, but also the ruthlessness.

Helpless, Wang Kun could only lower his head and silently bend down from the southeast corner of the ring to begin licking it.

This arena was specially built by Envoy Cui for this alchemy competition, and it has a diameter of two thousand meters.

King Qi Dan led an alchemy team of eight hundred people, but they only occupied half of the arena, which gives you an idea of ​​just how big the arena was.

Instead, the arena had become filthy after being trampled by more than 800 people over several days.

In addition, the Flowing Wind Domain is often characterized by sandstorms, and the impact of Wang Kun being blasted onto the arena just now stirred up even more sand.

Fortunately, Wang Kun possessed the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation. If it were an ordinary person, licking so much yellow sand would surely have caused them to die from overeating.

The onlookers erupted in a thunderous cheer.

This Wang Kun, relying on his status as the steward of the Pill King's Mansion, has often extorted money from the immortals who come to the Pill King's Mansion seeking immortal pills. More than half of these onlookers have been harassed by Wang Kun.

So seeing Wang Kun give in now, these people couldn't be happier.

Chen Tianwen shook his head, no longer paying attention to how Wang Kun was cleaning the arena. Instead, he bowed slightly to Envoy Cui and stepped down from the platform.

...

In the Flowing Wind Domain, within the territory of the Nether Serpent Clan.

Chen Tianwen returned here with Envoy Cui; the appointed day to enter the Xuanwu Secret Realm had arrived.

The Xuan Turtle Clan Chief and Xuan Cang also arrived at the Nether Serpent Clan's place, but it was clear that the Nether Serpent Clan did not welcome the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief's arrival.

If it weren't for Ambassador Choi's presence, the two sides would likely have already come to blows!

Although Cui Shengshi tried to stop him, he was secretly pleased with what he saw.

The more strained the relationship between the two tribes, the better news it is for Cui Shengshi.

"Chief of the Nether Serpent Clan, everyone is here now. Shall we begin our journey into the Xuanwu Secret Realm?"

Envoy Cui addressed the Nether Serpent Clan Chief.

The Nether Serpent Clan Chief was glaring angrily at the Black Tortoise Clan Chief, but upon hearing Envoy Cui's words, he withdrew his gaze and addressed Envoy Cui:

"As you command, Envoy Cui."

Envoy Cui nodded in satisfaction and then looked at the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief.

The Xuan Turtle Clan Chief hurriedly said:

"I am ready to serve at any time."

Envoy Cui laughed heartily and said:

"Then let's not delay any longer, patriarchs, please open the secret realm."

The Xuan Turtle Clan Chief and the Nether Serpent Clan Chief exchanged a glance, then snorted coldly at each other, but still led the group toward the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

The Xuanwu Secret Realm is located in the River Styx, and it was discovered by the Chief of the Nether Serpent Clan by chance.

However, to open the secret realm, one must gather the bloodlines of both the Nether Serpent and the Black Tortoise.

Before long, the group arrived at a low-lying area at the bottom of the River Styx.

The chieftains of the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Ming Snake Clan exchanged another glance and then made hand seals.

The chieftains of the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Nether Serpent Clan each released a stream of essence blood, which, along with the change of hand seals, entered the low-lying area.

The Styx River was already extremely cold, and the appearance of the two streams of essence blood caused the temperature to drop even further.

And that low-lying area has now become ethereal, with countless streams of celestial energy converging towards it.

After about fifteen minutes, the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief and the Nether Serpent Clan Chief also stopped what they were doing.

Even though both of them were powerful immortal lords, after their brief exchange just now, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, demonstrating just how enormous the energy required to open the Xuanwu Secret Realm was.

"Envoy Cui, the Xuanwu Secret Realm will open in about an hour."

The chieftain of the Nether Serpent Clan wiped the sweat from his brow and spoke to Envoy Cui.

Envoy Cui nodded and asked the chieftains of the Nether Serpent Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan:

"Two clan leaders, who will each clan send into the Xuanwu Secret Realm this time?"

"Reporting to Envoy Cui, the Xuanwu Secret Realm is fraught with danger. Therefore, only Elder Mingquan and I from our Nether Serpent Clan will enter. If the others are not strong enough, entering the Xuanwu Secret Realm will only add to the casualties."

The chieftain of the Nether Serpent Clan answered, giving Chen Tianwen a meaningful look.

"Reporting to Envoy Cui, this time only Elder Xuancang and I from our Xuan Turtle Clan will go in."

Cui Shengshi looked at the chief of the Nether Serpent Clan and the chief of the Black Tortoise Clan, and a slight thought crossed his mind.

"Is this Xuanwu Secret Realm really that dangerous?"

Cui Shengshi sighed inwardly, while at the same time glancing at his four disciples with some unease.

Cui Xiangdong and his companions nodded firmly, expressing their determination to Envoy Cui.

This time, Ambassador Cui spoke:

"Disciples, once we enter the secret realm, I may not be able to look after you. You must all be careful."

"Don't worry, Master."

The four disciples responded one after another. Envoy Cui nodded, glanced at Chen Tianwen, and then spoke again:

"Dong'er, once we enter the secret realm, you must protect Mr. Chen's safety!"

Cui Xiangdong nodded, and Chen Tianwen quickly thanked him as well.

In the past, when Cui Shengshi sent several disciples to protect Chen Tianwen, it was probably more about having the disciples monitor Chen Tianwen.

But now, Envoy Cui is genuinely trying to protect Chen Tianwen's safety!

After all, after the competition in Danwang City, Chen Tianwen is now a true Dan Emperor.

If I want to take the Nine-Turn Creation Pill without any side effects, then I have to rely on Chen Tianwen.

If anything were to happen to Chen Tianwen in the Xuanwu Secret Realm, then Envoy Cui knew that he would probably never be able to advance in his lifetime.

Indeed, Envoy Cui has now refined the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill and successfully advanced his strength to the late stage of Immortal Lord.

Moreover, Cui Shengshi always remembered Chen Tianwen's words:

"After taking this top-grade elixir, as long as it is paired with suitable medicinal herbs, it is not impossible to eliminate the side effects!"
