266: Secret Realm Opened
Xiang Shan saw Xun Xiuyuan chatting with Ling Kuang and others, knowing that Xun Xiuyuan had just arrived in the Great World and was unaware of many situations.
So he spoke, "The places we contend for are all on the edge of the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Does World Lord Xun know what is in the middle of the Extraterritorial Battlefield?"
Xun Xiuyuan couldn't help but look at Xiang Shan with new eyes. He had killed hundreds of thousands of their Celestial Gods, yet this World Master could still chat casually with him here.
Xiang Shan saw Xun Xiuyuan's expression and understood, continuing, "Since those Celestial Gods invaded the Great Barren World, and World Lord Xun has the ability to keep them, what more can I say?"
The rules of the Extraterritorial Battlefield are thus: there are no eternal enemies; whoever is strong, I obey. This is the iron rule of the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Just like before, the death toll in your Great Barren World was not small, yet you could only huddle in a corner. Are you going to gamble the entire Great World for revenge?"
After hearing Xiang Shan's words, Xun Xiuyuan realized that here, strength was the only truth.
Seeing Xiang Shan's amiable demeanor, Xun Xiuyuan knew that his void piercing needle had instantly broken Xiang Shan's defense, making him a strong one in Xiang Shan's eyes.
"What is in the middle of the Extraterritorial Battlefield? Is it a secret realm?"
Xun Xiuyuan asked.
Xiang Shan shook his head, "I haven't been there, but I heard about it at an auction once, because that auction sold a special item."
Xun Xiuyuan, having just arrived in the Great World, was still very interested in these things.
"What special item?"
Xiang Shan saw Xun Xiuyuan's expression and smiled faintly. It seemed this new World Master of the Barren World wasn't too difficult to deal with. Those hundreds of thousands of Celestial Gods truly died in vain.
"The special item was a key-shaped object, shimmering, said to be able to open a mysterious secret realm."
Xiang Shan thought for a moment and said.
Xun Xiuyuan's eyes immediately narrowed, staring at Xiang Shan in front of him, wondering if the other party knew about his key and was deliberately trying to test him.
However, Xiang Shan's expression remained unchanged; he wasn't looking at Xun Xiuyuan, but rather deep in thought.
Then Xiang Shan continued, "I don't know what that key is for, but the person who bought it was from the central area of the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
"This person was an Initial Saint Realm expert. After getting the key, he left. Later, I learned that there is actually a large sect, the Yuan Ling Sect, in the central part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield. This person was just a direct disciple of the Yuan Ling Sect."
Xun Xiuyuan immediately realized that Xiang Shan wasn't testing him, because his main purpose was to talk about the Yuan Ling Sect.
"Yuan Ling Sect?" Xun Xiuyuan murmured in confusion.
Xiang Shan said, "Yes, the Yuan Ling Sect. Great Worlds like ours, without Saints, don't even have the qualifications to contact them. Those Great Worlds with Saints have had contact with the Yuan Ling Sect for a long time, and some even send their outstanding disciples from their Great Worlds to cultivate in the Yuan Ling Sect."
Xun Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this, "Thank you, Senior Xiang Shan, for enlightening me and letting this junior know this important information."
Seeing Xun Xiuyuan's attitude soften considerably, Xiang Shan also smiled, "Since the Great Barren World has Fellow Daoist Xun as its World Master, the southern part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield will definitely have a place for the Great Barren World in the future. I'm just getting acquainted in advance."
Afterward, Xiang Shan and Xiang Kui, along with a group of God Kings, left the canyon of the Great Barren World and returned to the Giant Elephant Great World.
Xun Xiuyuan turned to Xie Cangtian, "Do you know about this Yuan Ling Sect?"
Xie Cangtian shook his head, "I don't know. I've been to the middle of the Extraterritorial Battlefield before, but I was blocked by a huge barrier and couldn't proceed."
Xun Xiuyuan was puzzled, "Barrier?"
Xie Cangtian pointed to the mountains on both sides of the canyon and said, "A mountain range like this blocked the way. I wasn't sure what was further ahead, so I didn't proceed."
Xun Xiuyuan asked again, "What kind of auction was he talking about?"
This time Ling Kuang answered, "In the Extraterritorial Battlefield, there is a huge commerce called Extraterrestrial Merchant Guild. They hold auctions irregularly. The auction location is about a hundred thousand li to the left and right of the central direction ahead. There is a city there, Commerce City. In fact, I heard that Extraterrestrial Merchant Guild has four major cities throughout the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and Commerce City is just one of them, located in the southern part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
Xun Xiuyuan looked at Xie Cangtian again.
Xie Cangtian smiled, "A hundred thousand li is still far from the barrier's location. I traveled a million li to reach that barrier back then."
Xun Xiuyuan understood that all the Great Worlds and that Commerce City were only on the periphery of the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
It was still too early to consider those things; it was better to first sort out the situation in the southern region of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, which was the area around the Great Barren World.
Afterward, Xun Xiuyuan discussed with Zhuge Lun and others and decided to arrange for Xie Cangtian alone to enter the secret realm within the camp. Xun Xiuyuan, as a deterrent force, was not suitable for entering the secret realm.
Xie Cangtian didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
He only made one condition: after this secret realm ended, Xun Xiuyuan must go with him to meet the Ancestor of the Li Family.
Xun Xiuyuan also nodded in agreement.
Time passed quickly. Within a month, the Nine Heavens Great World, the Great Elf World, and the Blood Sea Great World all learned that the World Master of the Giant Elephant Great World had offered compensation.
And had established a good cooperative relationship with Xun Xiuyuan.
Therefore, although the three Great Worlds did not have their World Masters personally present, they all arranged for Super God King envoys to come and discuss the matters of the secret realm quotas.
The sale of the secret realm quotas went very smoothly, with the three Great Worlds each purchasing twenty quotas.
The Great Barren World only planned to arrange for Xie Cangtian to enter alone, which was more convenient for both offense and defense.
The key was Xie Cangtian's strength, ensuring his safety.
On the day the secret realm opened, eighty members from the four Great Worlds had already arrived at the Great Barren World's camp.
This time, with Xun Xiuyuan presiding, the people who came were all very harmonious, and there was no longer the situation of bullying the weak as before.
After the secret realm opened, Xie Cangtian took the lead, entering the secret realm directly without any hesitation.
Subsequently, people from the four Great Worlds greeted Xun Xiuyuan one after another, and then entered the secret realm in sequence.
Zhuge Lun glanced at Xun Xiuyuan, who was sitting calmly, and smiled, "Little Junior Brother, you are truly formidable. I've never seen the four Great Worlds so well-behaved."
Xun Xiuyuan remained silent. Any Great World that had hundreds of thousands of Invincible Celestial Gods killed by one person within two days, and even Super God Kings captured, would also be cautious.
Xun Xiuyuan's achievements were not hidden; the four Great Worlds were all aware of them.
Just after everyone had entered the secret realm, because the number of people was not yet full, the secret realm's gate remained open.
Xun Xiuyuan, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and the power of the World descended upon the entire camp.
Under the compression of the World's power, a group of monsters with horns on their heads, dark green skin, and fangs were squeezed out of space by Xun Xiuyuan.
