Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

"This secret realm is not large, but its space is exceptionally stable. Even if a terrestrial immortal were to fight, this secret realm would not be destroyed."

"The secret realm is filled with rare and exotic plants and abundant resources, enough to cultivate dozens or even hundreds of martial arts grandmasters, and perhaps even a few terrestrial immortals!"

Gu Shentong looked around and surveyed the surrounding environment before speaking in a deep voice.

This means that there may indeed be terrestrial immortals in this ancient secret realm!

"Seniors Martial Sect and Dragon Sect, have you sensed the opportunity to break through to the Land Immortal Realm?"

Jiang Wangzu looked at Wu Chongxiao and Emperor Tianyi and asked them a question.

Although he had cultivated both the external martial arts and orthodox martial arts to the peak of the Profound Realm, he did not feel any opportunity for a breakthrough.

Emperor Tianyi shook his head upon hearing this, clearly somewhat disappointed.

He originally thought that if he could hone his essence, energy, and spirit to the extreme in this ancient secret realm, and then break through to become a terrestrial immortal, then the success rate of entering the ancestral land would soar.

But now it seems he was overthinking things.

However, obtaining enough spiritual medicine to cultivate his spiritual martial arts to the extreme and then waiting for the ancestral land to open is not a bad idea.

"I sensed an opportunity to break through and become a terrestrial deity."

"This ancient secret realm can support a maximum of three people to become terrestrial immortals, but it can only accommodate three people."

"If three terrestrial immortals were to be stationed here, this space would no longer be able to accommodate a Grandmaster of Martial Arts in the Profound Realm, or even a Martial Arts Grandmaster."

"Therefore, the best combination is that this place can only accommodate one terrestrial immortal, and can also accommodate many martial arts grandmasters, martial arts masters and so on, so that it can slowly form a hidden world power."

"That's exactly how it's being done in Takamagahara right now."

"However, there is also a problem. Once you break through to become a terrestrial immortal in this ancient secret realm, you will be stuck here for the rest of your life and will never be able to leave."

"This is like a prison!"

Wu Chongxiao said with great emotion.

He had just activated his self-created technique, merging with the entire secret realm, and instantly gained insight into its many secrets.

He could become a terrestrial immortal in this secret realm, but he would never do that!

"I see."

"This also explains why Takamagahara in this island nation of the East, despite having a terrestrial deity in charge, has never taken action."

"If he could leave this secret realm, he probably would have already made his move!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wangzu and the others nodded, and they finally understood some things that they hadn't been able to figure out before.

However, they faced a new problem: since this ancient secret realm was guarded by a terrestrial immortal, they would inevitably have to face a true martial arts master, a terrestrial immortal!

"Intruders!"

"Kill these invaders!"

"They are the ones who destroyed our country!"

"Let's all join forces and kill them, for the sake of those innocent victims!"

"..."

Jiang Wangzu and his group had only just emerged from that mountain cave tunnel when the entire Takamagahara was already abuzz with news.

The warriors who came from all directions were armed and looked fierce.

There aren't many people living here; looking around, there are only a few hundred or a thousand.

There were men, women, young and old among them, but without exception, they were all martial artists!

There were also a dozen or so people dressed in modern clothing, but their martial arts skills were not high.

Judging from the looks of it, he must have recently joined Takamagahara.

The fact that Takamagahara can be passed down from generation to generation suggests that it's impossible for it to be a marriage alliance between warriors within Takamagahara.

Even two exceptionally talented martial artists may not be able to have a child with the same or even greater talent as them.

Therefore, to ensure that Takamagahara has a continuous stream of skilled practitioners, it is necessary to select promising talents from across the entire island nation of Japan and then guide them to Takamagahara for training.

Such a large-scale selection and recruitment of apprentices could not possibly be kept secret from those in power.

Therefore, Takamagahara had an agreement with those in power: those in power would assist them in searching for martial arts prodigies throughout the country, and in return, they could be at the beck and call of those in power when necessary.

"Quiet down, all of you!"

An aged voice rang out, and a burly old man with white hair and beard appeared in the crowd, holding a samurai sword.

The crowd quickly made way for him.

Behind him followed a short, middle-aged man and a young man with a distinctly Japanese appearance.

This looks like three generations: old, middle-aged, and young.

However, Jiang Wangzu and the others did not know that these three were all grandmasters of martial arts.

Moreover, they are all martial arts grandmasters at the peak of the Profound Realm.

Of course, it is also possible that they are the only three remaining peak-level martial arts grandmasters in the entire Takamagahara.

After all, more than thirty martial arts grandmasters died in Takamagahara after the war between the Republic of China and the Japanese island nation. Even though Takamagahara is an ancient secret realm with abundant resources, it is impossible to cultivate too many Tongxuan realm martial arts grandmasters.

There's a saying that circulated in our ancestral land: a good birth guarantees a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, but whether one can become a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm depends on their own potential.

Whether one can become a terrestrial immortal has little to do with resources; it depends purely on talent.

The original meaning of this statement is that sometimes a person's talent represents their potential.

If all external conditions, such as resources and mentorship, are met, he can reach his maximum potential.

If these external conditions are lacking, then he cannot even reach his own potential.

However, even if one reaches their own limit, that limit is still finite.

Very few people can truly reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

It's not just a matter of limited resources, but also a limitation of one's own potential.

This small island nation in the East has a population of fifty million, though not small.

However, martial arts training emphasizes physical attributes and aptitude.

Putting aside how the Japanese from the island nation of Japan are described as sleazy, their short stature, bowlegs, and underdeveloped appearance alone make it unlikely that they will become martial arts talents.

Therefore, several dozen people with the qualifications of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts in the Profound Realm were selected from among these people, and then they were trained using the resources of Takamagahara.

Even so, it's already quite good that 30% of them can reach the Profound Realm.

Therefore, even after hundreds of years of accumulation, the number of martial arts grandmasters in Takamagahara is unlikely to exceed fifty.

This is the consensus reached by Jiang Wangzu, Wu Chongxiao, and others.

Adding to the more than thirty who died at their hands, Gao Tianyuan is already incredibly fortunate to have over a dozen Tongxuan Realm martial arts grandmasters.

Now, all the martial artists of Takamagahara have gathered here: three peak Tongxuan Realm martial arts grandmasters and eleven ordinary Tongxuan Realm martial arts grandmasters, for a total of fourteen Tongxuan Realm experts.

The conclusions drawn by Jiang Wangzu and others are almost identical!

"Ono Takegen!"

"Shigeaki Sato!"

"Aoki Zangetsu!"

"Greetings, everyone!"

When the three martial arts grandmasters of the peak of the Profound Realm, Gao Tianyuan, old, middle-aged and young, met Jiang Wangzu and the others, they clasped their hands and bowed.

"This place is nice, I'll take it!"

Jiang Wangzu said loudly.

He ignored the three men's politeness, because the island nation of the East had already been destroyed by them, and they were determined to obtain the ancient secret realm of Takamagahara, so there was no need for formalities between them.

National enmity and personal hatred inevitably lead to conflict between the two sides!
