  The moment the name Wu Sheng Yi appeared, the entire area fell into a dead silence. There was nobody on Azure Blue World who did not know this name!

  The top ten on the Heaven's Chosen Roll were all exceptional demon-level geniuses. They were all capable of beating fourth level cultivators with their cultivation of the third level!

  But despite that, it was safe to say that even if the second- to ninth-placed geniuses joined hands against him, they might still not necessarily be able to beat Wu Sheng Yi!

  No one knew where Wu Sheng Yi came from, but within the short time span of a single year, he rose to the top position of the Heaven's Chosen Roll. His case could be considered as the sudden emergence of a new force!

  "So that person was Wu Sheng Yi! He looks completely ordinary, but who would have guessed that he's actually so strong!"

  "Exactly. Those people deserved their fate, to actually dare to attack him!"

  "Killing over a thousand experts at the same level with a single strike…… is that still something that could be accomplished by a human?"

  The onlookers were still suspended in a state of shock. Why did this sound like something out of a fantasy story? But no matter how much the crowd did not want to believe that matter, the facts were laid out before their eyes.

  Countless people were heavily impacted by what they witnessed. Was there any way common cultivators like them could still play like this?

  Which of these cultivators did not need to wreck their brains with schemes and risk their life just to kill someone of the same cultivation level? But this Wu Sheng Yi simply threw down a huge AOE ultimate ability and killed off a thousand people! This was so absurd that other cultivators at the same level as him could not even lift their heads with shame!

  "How strong! As expected of the number one on the Heaven's Ranking Roll!"

  Aboard the numerous flying ships, the top disciples of the large sects were all smacking their lips with awe. Unexpectedly, this Wu Sheng Yi was even stronger than the legends painted him!

  Some of the haughtier disciples of the sects were originally still quite unhappy about the ranking created by the Heaven's Chance Sect. They felt that since they were all similarly third level cultivators, how much stronger could an individual be compared to the rest? But never had they thought that someone on the third level of cultivation could actually be strong to such an extent!

  Even a fourth level cultivator would probably not be able to do as well as Wu Sheng Yi if they were asked to execute the same technique!

  The younger generation disciples of those large sects were not the only ones aboard the flying ships. The strongest fighters of each sect had also arrived with them. Their main mission was to prevent Tian Mozi from slipping away, and to obtain the thing in his hand!

  Large amounts of resources, single-use weapons, and all sorts of talismans were passed into the hands of the disciples.

  These weapons were capable of unleashing an attack at the peak of the third level. Furthermore, their production cost was extremely high. But for the sake of the item in Tian Mozi's hands, the sects did not hesitate to invest heavily into this mission!

  The number of special weapons, talismans, and resources placed on the disciples of the ten great sects numbered over a million when added together! The number of third level cultivators were over 700,000! One could easily imagine how much the ten sects had spent this time!

  If there were any accidents, the losses were something that not even the ten great sects could bear!

  The losses would be enough to cripple them. But as long as they could get the item on Tian Mozi's body, even if a million disciples and weapons were lost, it was still something they could bear!

  After all, that thing was capable of helping the experts at the peak of the ninth level to breach their bottleneck and ascend to a higher realm! For these people who had lost all hope and could not advance any further, this was worth paying any price!

  If they could break through to the realm above ninth level, it would be simplicity itself to establish a stronger sect from scratch!

  One million cultivators was an impressive sight, its grandeur and scale something one could hardly imagine! And this was not counting the number of rogue cultivators. Including them, there were over two million people entering the secret realm!

  And this was not two million regular people, but two million third level cultivators!

  Without any exaggerations, if all these people were to unleash a strike together in an instant, the entire planet would be heavily damaged with gaping holes and scars everywhere!

  Countless people flooded into the secret realm. The Ancient Spirit Secret Realm was an extremely unpredictable place. The opening and closing time of its entrance was never fixed. Sometimes it would remain open for three years, sometimes for ten. But when it was about to close, there would always be obvious signs in the secret realm. If one failed to exit in time, they would be stuck within forever!

  From the time the signs appeared until the exit was closed, one had two month's time to leave. Unless one was extremely unlucky and was stuck too deep inside the secret realm, this was sufficient time to leave.

  The rogue cultivators were not the only ones to include people who suppressed their own cultivation to enter the secret realm. The large sects had similarly sent some cultivators with higher cultivation but lacking the potential to break through, and told them to suppress their cultivation and enter the secret realm.

  Countless cultivators were flooding into the secret realm excitedly. In the instant they stepped through the entrance, they were transported into the vast space inside.

  "The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi is really thick here! It's actually double of what we have outside!"

  "That's the Blue Jade Root! And there's even a Golden Flame Flower?! So many spirit herbs!"

  The moment they stepped into the secret realm, those rogue cultivators were dazzled by the precious spirit herbs littered everywhere. The rare and expensive spirit herbs that were usually hard to obtain could be seen everywhere like the cabbages sold in wet markets.

  In stark contrast to the awed rogue cultivators, the peak geniuses from the sects immediately gathered together into groups without even turning to look at the spirit herbs. Their target this time was Tian Mozi only. Nothing else mattered!

  "Hou!"

  "Sha!"

  "Yin!"

  All kinds of loud roars rang out continuously from the lush forests. In a short moment, numerous huge beasts with dangerous auras began to appear one by one!

  "So many Demonic Beasts! Run!"

  Over a thousand rogue cultivators had gathered together and formed a large group after hearing about the dangers in the secret realm as soon as they stepped in. But before they had even gone far, that group had already run into trouble!

  Over a hundred Demonic Beasts had appeared, all drooling and snarling as they looked at the bunch of two-legged creatures panicking before them.

  "Everyone, don't be afraid, there are less Demonic Beasts here than us! Also, it's not like the outside world doesn't have the same species of Demonic Beasts. As long as we stay together, we can definitely slay them!" an old man stood out and shouted loudly as he gathered the crowd.

  This old man was an elder of a large clan. The reason he came this time was naturally for the rewards offered by the ten great sects. He had a cultivation at the seventh level, and even though his cultivation had been suppressed to the third level, he was not someone that an ordinary third level cultivator could be compared with.

  The group of Demonic Beasts were snorting and kicking their heels coldly with disdain. Those humans actually dared to resist? Truly a bunch of people who did not know life from death!

  "Hou!"

  A six meter long jet black tiger strutted out to the front gracefully, raised its head, and roared. The other Demonic Beasts around it immediately laid down on the ground in submission to it.

  "Catch the boss and the gang will collapse by itself! Wait for this old man to slay this evil creature first!" Li Du declared arrogantly. From the way he saw it, these Demonic Beasts who lived their entire lives in the secret realm were like a bunch of flowers in a sheltered greenhouse. They were surely lacking in battle experience. If he made a move himself, he would definitely be able to catch the black tiger!

  "Face your death, vile creature!"

  The old man stepped on a third level crescent-shaped blade and flew out. His speed was extremely fast, instantly surpassing five times the speed of sound! The crescent blade under his feet separated from him, chopping down towards the black tiger!

  "Dang!"

  "Pu!"

  The black tiger narrowed its eyes and did not even dodge. It regarded the blade flying towards it with disdain. Only when the blade reached its body did it raise a paw and swatted at it. After that, it swung out its other paw which instantly ripped through Li Du's chest!

  Li Du was directly torn in two and collapsed on the ground!

  "Hou!"

  The black tiger roared again, this time as if it was giving an order. In an instant, the hundred-plus Demonic Beasts charged into the crowd!

  Similar scenes were happening all over the secret realm.

  As chaos ensued, an inconspicuous translucent line dropped from the sky, landing on a quiet area in the secret realm where it remained unmolested.

  Bei Feng's mouth was hanging wide open with shock as he looked at the huge patches of spirit herbs around the hook. In that moment, he felt a little giddy from the sudden arrival of happiness!
