Outside Jiangling City.

A blue lotus suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Strange phenomena can be seen even from thousands of miles away.

Qin Luo and his group arrived in the courtyard and looked at the mountain peak behind the Qingdi Temple. There was a transparent blue lotus high up, and the space around the blue lotus was distorted. This was a sign that the Qingdi Secret Realm was about to open. Seeing the strange phenomenon, the cultivators on the mountain peak cheered, while the cultivators in the distance rushed to the green mountain.

Many outstanding talents are still on their way.

A large number of cultivators gathered on the mountaintop. One cultivator said with a proud look, "Am I right? We should come two days in advance. Better safe than sorry."

"That's right."

A group of cultivators were smug and self-satisfied.

Inside the Qingdi Temple, Chu Peiran bowed and said, "Senior Dongyuan, you must know about the wonders within the Qingdi Secret Realm."

Dongyuan knew what Chu Peiran was thinking and said meaningfully, "If fate allows, destiny will come to find you."

"I hope so."

Chu Peiran burst into laughter.

"Senior, farewell."

Chu Peiran bowed respectfully.

Qin Luo and Gui Chen both bowed in greeting.

Dong Yuan smiled and nodded, feeling for some reason that looking at them seemed to offer a glimmer of hope. He said softly, "They've come at just the right time. Perhaps they can obtain the Azure Emperor's inheritance."

Qin Luo and his group walked along the mountain path towards the summit. The Azure Emperor's Secret Realm was right in front of them, and they walked at a leisurely pace.

Chu Peiran looked at Qin Luo and teased with a smile, "Brother Dao, do you have a girl you like?"

Qin Luo shook his head slightly, "I don't have a girl I like yet, why is Brother Chu asking this?"

Chu Peiran raised an eyebrow. "My senior sister should be coming to the Azure Emperor Secret Realm. I'll introduce you to her then."

Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Chu, but I have no plans to find a Daoist partner at the moment."

"Making friends is fine too."

"Making friends is fine."

Qin Luo immediately changed the subject, "Brother Chu, are there any requirements for entering the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm?"

Chu Peiran looked up at the mountain peak, “Only cultivators under the age of one hundred with strong aptitude can enter the Azure Emperor Secret Realm, and they can only enter once in their lifetime. Many powerful geniuses will go to the Azure Emperor Secret Realm, and the competition is fierce. The seniors of the academy suggested that I enter the Azure Emperor Secret Realm again next time, but I don’t want to wait another ten years.”

They had just reached the halfway point of the mountain when the lotus flower at the summit vanished, followed by the appearance of a deep blue spatial passage. The Azure Emperor's Secret Realm opened, and the surrounding prodigies rushed into the secret realm.

The sound of something cutting through the air could be heard continuously.

Many prodigies were waiting near Green Mountain, and upon seeing the secret realm open, they all rushed over.

A celestial vessel appeared atop the mountain. Chen Jianyi looked at the Lingjian Sect disciples beside him and sternly reminded them, "There will be dangers in the secret realm. You cannot stray too far from me."

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

The younger generation of the Spirit Sword Sect nodded in agreement.

Chen Jianyi took to the air and led the younger generation of the Spirit Sword Sect to the secret realm. Immediately afterward, a group of geniuses riding cranes rushed into the secret realm.

Chu Peiran said softly, "The ones who came by immortal boat are from the Spirit Sword Sect, those who came by immortal crane are from the Flowing Cloud Sect, and those burly men dressed as martial artists are from the Great Wilderness Sect..."

Before long, a golden immortal ship appeared, more than ten times larger than the immortal ship of the Spirit Sword Sect. Three geniuses dressed in golden robes rushed towards the Azure Emperor Secret Realm. They were extremely fast, and the surrounding cultivators were all blown away by them. Many cultivators were seriously injured before they even entered.

Even though they were seriously injured, these cultivators were still unwilling to give up the opportunity and bravely rushed into the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm.

Chu Peiran frowned. "They must be geniuses from the Immortal Realm. It's really annoying!"

"It's quite annoying."

Qin Luo also disliked these people.

A prodigy with golden wings on his back descended from the sky, stirring up a storm. There were also prodigies with three eyes and four arms. All sorts of strange prodigies headed to the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm.

Chu Peiran's expression was solemn, and he dared not be careless. "These strange guys should all be geniuses from the Immortal Realm."

Gui Chen said softly, "They are very strong."

Chu Peiran nodded solemnly.

Qin Luo did not feel threatened.

A loud cry resounded through the sky as the snow-white ice phoenix broke through the air, causing the temperature in the world to drop. The ice phoenix carried a terrifying and fierce aura, and ordinary cultivators dared not raise their heads.

A fairy in a snow-white dress stood behind the Ice Phoenix. She transformed into a ray of snow and rushed towards the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm. Qin Luo looked at that familiar figure and couldn't help but murmur, "It's her."

When Qin Luo and his group arrived at the mountain peak, it was deserted. The Ice Phoenix circled around the green mountain, the immortal ship was anchored in the clouds, and many senior experts were watching from a distance.

The entrance to the secret realm high above was not yet closed. Chu Peiran looked into the distance, raised his hand, and the King-Slaying Sword with golden scales flew from Jiangling City into his hand.

Chu Peiran put the sword into his sleeve.

Qin Luo gazed at the distant Jiangling City and the winding Luo River, admiring the magnificent scenery between heaven and earth. The lake at the foot of the mountain was beautiful, like a pair of emerald eyes.

"The scenery here is beautiful."

Qin Luo admired the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain.

Gui Chen bowed slightly, "This humble monk is not interested in destiny. This humble monk will wait here for your good news."

Qin Luo smiled and said, "I don't like competing for fortune either, but I want to go in and broaden my horizons. Master Guichen, aren't you curious about what the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm is like?"

"What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist."

Gui Chen nodded in agreement.

Chu Peiran sighed softly and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that only I care about fate. I'm too worldly."

Qin Luo smiled and said earnestly, "Brother Chu is an interesting scholar."

"Hahaha."

Chu Peiran and Gui Chen took to the air, while Qin Luo leaped lightly. They headed towards the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm. Before them lay a vast expanse of blue sky, with countless green mountains and clear waters in sight.

The secret passage at the top began to heal, and at the last moment, three figures rushed into the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm.
