Primordial Treasure Mirror

The most conspicuous were the cultivators from the Tianhe Sect.

They were dressed in matching blue and white robes, exuding an air of arrogance.

At the very front stood a middle-aged Taoist priest with a delicate, effeminate face. He stood there, his posture upright and his expression arrogant.

The Tianhe Sect disciples behind him also looked arrogant, especially when they looked towards the Qingyang Sect, their expressions showing some hostility.

As for the two major Golden Core sects in Mingzhou.

The Qingyuan Sect members, dressed in gold and purple Taoist robes, looked noble and dignified, but their expressions were extremely gentle, with most of them wearing smiles.

The leader was an extremely kind-looking old man with white hair and a silver beard, holding a whisk. Upon seeing the arrival of the Qingyang Sect members, he even greeted Elder Qingfa.

The members of Huangsha Sect were all dressed in yellow robes, and many of them had bitter and resentful expressions on their faces, as if someone owed them a lot of money.

At the front of them was a middle-aged woman with an extremely beautiful face and a voluptuous figure; however, her constantly furrowed brows made her look extremely uncomfortable.

The four major Golden Core sects gathered together.

Only the leader of the Qingyuan faction greeted the other three factions.

There was absolutely no communication between the people of Tianhe Sect and Qingyang Sect.

The middle-aged beauty merely nodded slightly to the other three sects.

After the four sects gathered, the elder of the Qingyuan Sect asked:

"With everyone gathered, should we break the seal on the secret realm?"

Elder Qingfa nodded:

"Can."

The other two also nodded in agreement.

So the leaders of the four sects each took out a jade talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and the light shot into the sky. The great formation below shook twice and slowly dissipated.

The entrance to the secret realm has been revealed.

The mountain forest here is called Yuyan Mountain.

Therefore, the secret realm was called the Jade Rock Mountain Secret Realm by the cultivators.

The entrance to the Yuyan Mountain Secret Realm has been reopened.

Elder Qingfa spoke up:

"In that case, let's land on this floating island."

He finished speaking.

Raise your hand and form a hand seal.

The leaders of the other three sects also raised their hands and made hand seals.

The floating island swayed.

It then slowly descended and finally landed in front of the entrance to the secret realm.

Elder Qingfa led the Qingyang Sect members down the floating island and arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.

The other three sects had also gathered in front of the entrance to the secret realm. The four sects were clearly separated, each occupying a separate area.

The cultivators outside the four sects gradually approached this place, but they dared not get too close, staying not far from the cultivators of the four sects and waiting silently.

As they entered the secret realm, Elder Qingfa faced the crowd and nodded to one of the many Foundation Establishment disciples.

He was a gentle and refined young male cultivator, a slight smile on his lips, who walked to the front.

Elder Qingfa spoke up:

"Our sect's entry into the secret realm this time will be led by Zuo Tianxing. You will all be required to obey his orders within the realm, understand?"

Many of the true disciples and inner disciples readily agreed.

Su Yang really didn't know much about the true disciples.

As a menial disciple, what he heard most was not the true teachings, but the best among the inner and outer disciples.

Just like Jiang Yanchen, as one of the top ten inner disciples, he had heard of him.

However, since the true disciples were too high-ranking and were also Foundation Establishment cultivators, the miscellaneous disciples rarely discussed them, and he knew very little about them.

Fortunately, many of the inner disciples around him recognized this person.

"So it's Senior Brother Zuo. He was promoted to the seventh true disciple two years ago, right?"

"I didn't expect it to be Senior Brother Zuo Tianxing this time. He has been at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for many years, and his strength is quite formidable among those at that stage. He will definitely lead our Qingyang Sect to seize the most benefits from the secret realm this time!"

"Senior Brother Zuo is not even fifty years old yet. As expected of someone with dual spiritual roots, his cultivation speed is really fast. I wish I also had dual spiritual roots. I suppose I would have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage by now."

...

Su Yang learned about Zuo Tianxing from the discussions of the crowd.

The seventh true disciple of the sect.

He's not even fifty yet.

Definitely a golden elixir seed.

Many people believe that with this person leading the way, the Qingyang Sect will have a certain advantage in this secret realm.

However, Yang Ding, who was not far in front of Su Yang, did not think so.

"Although Senior Brother Zuo is strong, Mo Ze of Tianhe Sect is not bad either. He also has top-level dual spiritual root aptitude and I heard that he also has a spiritual body. He is a little younger than Senior Brother Zuo, but his strength may not be much worse."

Hearing Yang Ding's words, Lin Huan snorted coldly:

"How can Mo Ze compare to Senior Brother Zuo? Senior Brother Zuo is a sword cultivator, his strength far surpasses that of ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators. Moreover, with our assistance, Tianhe Sect is bound to suffer a great loss this time!"

Jiang Yanchen wasn't as confident as Lin Huan:

"The cultivators from Tianhe Sect this time are quite strong, so we should not be careless. As for the other two sects, their strength is unknown, so we also need to be careful."

Yang Ding was worried about the Tianhe Sect, but not afraid of the Huangsha Sect and the Qingyuan Sect:

"Although their two leading disciples are also at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, they are definitely not as good as Senior Brother Zuo and Mo Ze. As for the other cultivators, they are far inferior to us. Just be a little careful."

Jiang Yanchen and Lin Huan nodded in agreement.

Listening to their conversation, Su Yang understood the relative strengths and weaknesses of the four sects at this moment.

The cultivation community in Yangzhou is generally stronger than that in Mingzhou.

The Qingyang Sect and Tianhe Sect are also a cut above the Huangsha Sect and Qingyuan Sect.

"It seems that the main target to guard against when entering the secret realm is Tianhe Sect. Not only do we have old grudges, but they are also our biggest rivals."

Su Yang made a judgment.

Just then, the elders leading the four sects took flight and arrived above the entrance to the secret realm.

"You may enter now. Those who are not cultivators from our four sects will have to wait for half an hour."

The elder of the Qingyuan Sect finished speaking.

The disciples of the four sects then entered the secret realm.

The once quiet atmosphere suddenly became noisy.

Especially from the Tianhe Gate, Su Yang heard provocative voices coming from there.

"Yang Qingyu, I lost to you in the last sect duel, but I will definitely defeat you this time in the secret realm!"

The people of Qingyang Sect also responded.

"Wang Bufan, I was able to defeat you last time, and I will do so again this time. Not only will I defeat you, but my Qingyang Sect will also surpass your Tianhe Sect!"

There is deep animosity between the two sides.

Many cultivators exchanged barbs from afar.

Neither of the two leaders made any attempt to stop them.

Instead, their eyes held a hint of coldness.

Based on the grudges between the two factions.

This trip to the secret realm will likely involve bloodshed.

Zuo Tianxing, standing at the forefront of the Qingyang Sect, lost his smile and left with a single sentence:

"Within the secret realm, everyone relies on their own methods."

Then they entered the secret realm.

Mo Ze of the Tianhe Sect simply said "good" and led the Tianhe Sect members toward the secret realm.

Although the other two groups did not clash at each other, they were close to each other and were also competitors. They were not exactly harmonious with each other, and there was a sense of confrontation between them.

Su Yang took in all of this, and inwardly shook his head:

"The four major Golden Core sects each have their own agendas, and this time the secret realm is likely to be in complete chaos."

Su Yang then looked at the cultivators outside the four sects.

Most of those cultivators were at the Qi Refining stage, but there were also a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Only a small number of them are independent cultivators.

Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators from Golden Core sects and families outside the region.

"This struggle is bound to be fierce; we must be careful to protect ourselves."

With this in mind, Su Yang followed Yang Ding and the others into the secret realm.
