428: Chapter 432 The Present Day!

Boom!!!

At this moment, countless Cultivators across the entire Profound Spirit Domain looked up at the sky in unison!

High in the Nine Heavens, a massive crack suddenly tore open in the previously calm Void Realm!

The rift spanned across the horizon for ten thousand miles, as if the heavens themselves had been ripped apart by an invisible giant hand!

Then, waves of Daoist music echoed out from deep within the rift.

Like the profound sounds of the Great Dao, it struck directly at the soul.

Those with low cultivation felt their minds clear and their Bottlenecks loosen upon hearing it.

Those with high cultivation felt the Laws of Heaven and Earth become increasingly clear.

Azure light descended and golden lotuses gushed from the earth, pouring down from the edges of the rift like a massive waterfall, causing the Void Realm to tremble slightly wherever it passed.

At this moment, the entire Profound Spirit Domain was enveloped in an indescribably mysterious atmosphere.

Countless Cultivators gazed at the sky, their eyes filled with shock and longing.

An elderly Foundation Establishment Cultivator wept: "The Xuanling Secret Realm... to think I would see it with my own eyes in my lifetime..."

A young Cultivator clenched his fists: "The Opportunity of the Immortal Dao, I must fight for it!"

The scene deep within the rift became increasingly clear.

It was a majestic Daoist palace, its entire structure emitting a faint golden glow, stretching for a thousand miles.

Inside were towering mountain peaks piercing the clouds, rushing rivers winding through the landscape, and vast, lush forests.

It was like a complete Small World, self-contained and independent.

That was the Xuanling Secret Realm!

The legendary Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land left behind by ancient experts, the land of Opportunity that countless Golden Core Cultivators dreamed of!

Now, the gates of the Secret Realm were officially open!

Deep in the Western Barrens, inside a pitch-black palace forged from countless skeletons, the giant of the Western Barrens' unorthodox paths, Old Ancestor Bloodbone, suddenly looked up. His face was withered, and his eyes flickered with an eerie blood-red light.

"The Xuanling Secret Realm... the legendary xuan yin jade marrow that can help one condense a Nascent Soul is inside..."

Blood-light flickered in his eyes, his greed impossible to hide.

"Men! Summon all Elders of Golden Core rank and above to follow me to the Northern Border!"

On the shores of the Eastern Sea, atop the floating islands of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Alliance Leader Qingping Sanren stood with his hands behind his back, gazing toward the Northern Border.

"The last time the Secret Realm opened, I hadn't even been born yet."

He shook his head slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"But now, I've finally reached an age where I can compete for it."

He turned to look at the dozens of powerful figures below: "Everyone, the Xuanling Secret Realm has opened, and Opportunity is right before us. Those willing to follow me, set out!"

"We are willing to follow the Alliance Leader!" dozens of voices echoed in unison.

Within the Tiangang Sect, a major Righteous Path Sect in the Southern Mountains, Sect Master Tiangang Immortal Master frowned slightly.

"Why has the Xuanling Secret Realm suddenly appeared?"

He pondered for a moment before finally shaking his head: "Never mind, it's fine even if it's early. If I can obtain the xuan yin jade marrow, my hopes for the Nascent Soul will increase by a fraction."

He spoke in a deep voice: "Summon all Golden Core Cultivators of the Sect to follow me to the Northern Border!"

If the Cultivators of the Outer Domain felt shock and longing, then the high and mighty Grotto-Heaven forces of the Inner Domain were mostly surprised.

Deep in the Inner Domain, within the Six Desires Demonic Sect that was shrouded in seven-colored mist year-round, a figure suddenly opened his eyes.

The figure sat upon a massive throne, his body enveloped in seven-colored mist. He was the current Demonic Lord of the Six Desires Demonic Sect—Demonic Lord Seven Emotions, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lord!

Just now, he sensed that a trace of the mark in the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Legacy had been touched.

With a slight sense, he understood who had triggered it.

"Jiang Wunian... but why?"

Summoning the Six Desires Heavenly Demon to the world would involve significant Karma.

Therefore, demonic Cultivators traveling abroad would generally not use such a secret technique unless they encountered a Life and Death crisis.

But with Jiang Wunian's cultivation, who could possibly force him to risk his life?

Demonic Lord Seven Emotions didn't bother guessing and immediately began to calculate the Karma with his fingers.

But at that moment, that boom suddenly echoed through heaven and earth.

He looked up abruptly, his gaze piercing through the Void Realm to look at the massive crack spanning the horizon.

"Xuanling Secret Realm? Why is it early!"

Early meant variables.

And variables were what beings like them hated most.

A brilliant spectral light flashed in the eyes of Demonic Lord Seven Emotions as he projected his gaze toward the Outer Domain, only to find that the heavenly secrets and Karma of that region were chaotic to the extreme!

Layer upon layer, entangled and incessant—even with his Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation, he couldn't parse it clearly in a short time!

Furthermore, because the Secret Realm had appeared, the chaos of the heavenly secrets and Karma had intensified, causing many traces to be obscured!

"Interesting..."

A hint of amusement flashed in Demonic Lord Seven Emotions' eyes.

"Have the Demonic Seed come see me."

He waved his hand, and a voice transmission vanished into the depths of the Void Realm.

A moment later, a grim-faced young man appeared, his body permeated by a faint seven-colored mist.

"The Xuanling Secret Realm has appeared early. You go there."

"Also, if you run into Jiang Wunian inside, find out exactly what happened."

"Yes!"

The Demonic Seed responded respectfully, and his figure then dissipated.

Demonic Lord Seven Emotions closed his eyes again.

He faintly felt that this world was undergoing some kind of change that he could not control.

In the east of the Inner Domain, deep within the Qingwei Dao Sect, an old man dressed in a plain white Daoist robe slowly opened his eyes.

He was enveloped in a layer of clear light containing endless dao rhyme. He was the current Dao Master of the Qingwei Dao Sect—Qingwei Daoist.

He was also a Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lord!

"Yun Chenzi... has he merged his body with the Dao?"

He whispered to himself, a hint of regret in his tone. "This child was still too impatient."

For a Golden Core Cultivator to forcibly use Nascent Soul methods would inevitably cause irreversible damage to their dao foundation.

His gaze pierced the Void Realm, looking at the rift spanning the sky.

"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

He murmured, then struck out a hand seal.

"Have Xuan Zhenzi come see me."

Before long, a handsome young Daoist appeared in the temple.

"The Xuanling Secret Realm has appeared early. You go there. If you meet Yun Chenzi, look after him. If you encounter an Opportunity, strive for it."

"Yes." Xuan Zhenzi took his orders and departed.

In the center of the Inner Domain, deep within the Taixuan Immortal Sect that floated high in the Nine Heavens, a figure slowly opened her eyes inside a palace condensed from endless starlight.

It was a woman, shrouded in endless starlight, surrounded by the Qi of the Great Dao that existed with heaven and earth and resonated with the stars.

She was the current Sect Leader of the Taixuan Immortal Sect, Taixuan True Lord.

She was a Nascent Soul Late Stage True Lord and one of the strongest experts in the Profound Spirit Domain!

Her gaze crossed hundreds of millions of miles, looking directly at the rift, her brow furrowed slightly.

With her cultivation, she could sense that the opening of the Secret Realm should have required at least some time.

But for some reason, it had appeared early.

"Interesting..."

She murmured to herself: "It has been a long time since I encountered a variable that even I cannot see through."

She raised her hand and gave a light wave. Starlight converged into a massive light screen, revealing three young figures.

A man and a woman, their internal Qi as vast as the sea, both at Golden Core Perfection, beings who had stepped into the Dao Realm!

They were the two most outstanding Disciples of this generation of the Taixuan Immortal Sect, and also the Daoist Seed and Saintess.

They were also candidates with hope of breaking through to Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"The Xuanling Secret Realm has appeared early, and there must be variables within. I command you two to head to the Outer Domain immediately to identify the source of the variables. At the same time, secure the opportunities within the Secret Realm for our Sect."

"Yes!"

The three responded in unison, excitement flashing in their eyes.

Although they were Prodigy Disciples of a Nascent Soul Sect and had never lacked resources during their cultivation until now.

Nascent Soul resources were extremely rare, and they would have needed to put in all their effort to earn enough contributions to exchange for them.

But now, there was an Opportunity to take a shortcut.

Going to the Outer Domain with their strength was practically a dimensional strike.

The Golden Core Cultivators in the Outer Domain who could step into the Dao Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and even if they existed, most had unstable dao foundations.

But they were top Prodigies cultivated with the full strength of the Taixuan Immortal Sect!

This time, they were bound to return fully loaded!

The three turned and left, disappearing in a flash of starlight.

Taixuan True Lord watched the direction they left, a flash of complexity in her eyes.

She faintly felt that this world was undergoing some kind of indescribable change.

She did not like variables.

But since a variable had occurred, she could only respond to changes by remaining unchanged.

She slowly closed her eyes and sank into silence once more.
