Certainly.

  Though they were envious, they had no other thoughts.

  A gentleman loves wealth but acquires it in a proper manner.

  Besides, even if they wanted it, they had to weigh whether they had the strength to take it!

  Xiao Lingchen was one thing, but since Yu Haoran's master possessed such a treasure, it indicated a powerful existence.

  If they dared to have any improper thoughts, they might not even know how they died!

  Xiao Lingchen took the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial from Yu Haoran's hands and immediately felt the immense power of time contained within.

  He was overjoyed!

  With this item, his cultivation efficiency would increase once again!

  This made Xiao Lingchen feel even more favorable towards Yu Haoran.

  After all, the gratitude and promises of others were ultimately empty, only Yu Haoran truly delivered benefits into his hands.

  Seeing that everyone had expressed their gratitude to Xiao Lingchen in their own way, Li Muyun finally spoke:

  "Brother Lingchen, I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace, but I am alone and can only repay you with a secret about this Secret Realm."

  Then Li Muyun used a voice transmission to convey the secret to Xiao Lingchen.

  After hearing the secret from Li Muyun, Xiao Lingchen was momentarily stunned.

  "Is what you said true?"

  Li Muyun replied noncommittally:

  "Of course it's true."

  "Brother Lingchen, can this secret repay your life-saving grace?"

  Xiao Lingchen nodded:

  "Brother Muyun's secret is indeed quite valuable."

  "It can certainly repay."

  Their conversation piqued the curiosity of the others.

  However, since it was a secret, they knew better than to ask.

  After Li Muyun and Xiao Lingchen finished speaking.

  Everyone knew it was time to part ways, so they clasped their fists and bid farewell.

  "In that case, we shall meet again someday!"

  "Until we meet again!"

  "Also, I wish Brother Lingchen great success in the Secret Realm, to seize supreme opportunities and return safely!"

  "When we meet again, let's drink and celebrate together."

  "Farewell, everyone!"

  With that, they each took to the sky, heading in different directions.

  Li Muyun did not leave immediately.

  Instead, he wanted to settle Su Su before departing.

  Xiao Lingchen didn't say much about this.

  At this moment, the Secret Realm in the Thousand Cloud Mountain Range had already opened, and opportunities were rare. A second's delay could mean missing out on a chance.

  After saying goodbye, he used the Divine Movement Step to rush towards the direction of the Secret Realm.

  At this moment, the Thousand Cloud Mountain Range was teeming with cultivators.

  They came from all directions, numbering in the millions.

  They swarmed like locusts.

  To enter the Secret Realm, some even started fighting, and the sounds of battle echoed continuously.

  With the Divine Movement Step and the miraculous effects of the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial, Xiao Lingchen's speed far surpassed others. In no time, he reached the entrance of the Secret Realm.

  After cutting down tens of thousands of cultivators blocking the entrance with a single sword strike.

  He finally passed through the water-like entrance and successfully entered the Secret Realm!

  In an instant, the surrounding environment changed dramatically!

  .......

  It must be said, this Secret Realm is truly worthy of being the relic of an ancient sect.

  Even after millions of years, the grandeur of the past can still be felt from the majestic buildings.

  The spiritual Qi here is almost tangible, and it flows into one's body without any guidance, enhancing one's cultivation.

  Even the weeds growing everywhere contain spiritual power, and any random plant is comparable to spiritual herbs and medicines outside.

  Even the stone tablet in front of the sect contains mysterious Dao rhythms, making it extremely suitable for meditation and comprehension!

  "This... is this the Jade Skin Flower? Ancient texts record that this flower can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones, and it's said to be extinct. I can't believe I found it in this Secret Realm! My God! I'm rich!!!"

  "Is this the Cold Heart Fruit? Oh my God! So many Cold Heart Fruits, at least a hundred of them, right?!!"

  "And this, the Longevity King Root that can extend life! Such a thick root, it can probably extend life by a thousand years, right?"

  "......"

  The sounds of joy from discovering treasures echoed all around.

  This place was like a giant treasure trove, filled with opportunities everywhere.

  Of course, in the face of such great benefits, human greed was magnified to the extreme.

  Often, someone would just discover a treasure, only to be besieged and robbed by others, and those lacking strength would meet a tragic end under a flurry of blades.

  Gradually, the cultivators learned to be low-key.

  They no longer dared to announce their discoveries of treasures.

  Yet, fights and casualties remained common.

  Xiao Lingchen used the Divine Movement Step to head straight for the core area of the sect.

  This place was merely the outer part of the ancient sect, and the resources were already so abundant.

  If he were to delve into the core of the sect, it was unimaginable how astonishing the heritage would be.

  However.

  He hadn't flown far.

  When a water dragon suddenly came crashing towards him.

  "Roar!!!"

  The water dragon roared, its power fierce!

  Fortunately, Xiao Lingchen reacted in time and dodged the attack.

  However, the mountain peak behind him wasn't so lucky, and it was instantly blasted into countless fragments, collapsing with a roar.

  "Xiao Lingchen, you finally came!"

  "We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

  Xiao Lingchen looked up ahead, his eyes narrowing slightly.

  Familiar faces came rushing in!

  Leading them was He Nanru, the City Lord of Azure Cloud City, dressed in a green robe, with long hair as dark as ink.

  Behind him were fifteen instructors leading hundreds of thousands of city guards, along with high-ranking figures from the major family forces of Azure Cloud City.

  The dense mass of city guards and family forces surrounded the area, blocking out the sky!

  The pressure was immense!

  Seeing this, Xiao Lingchen was not the least bit flustered; instead, he grinned:

  "He Nanru, four months ago you besieged my Xiao Family, and I haven't even come to settle the score with you, yet you're eager to die!"

  He Nanru sneered:

  "Xiao Lingchen, don't get carried away just because you killed some small fry in Azure Cloud City!"

  "Standing here today are the elite of my City Lord's Mansion's three hundred thousand city guards and the top combat forces of Azure Cloud City's major family forces!"

  "If we all strike together, what chance do you have?"

  Xiao Lingchen drew the Phoenix Emperor Sword, standing with his sword:

  "Whether there's a chance or not, we'll only know after the fight!"

  As he finished speaking, Xiao Lingchen swung his sword fiercely.

  In an instant, a massive red Sword Qi transformed into a tangible red crescent, blasting towards He Nanru and the others!

  He Nanru and the others were startled.

  They hurriedly scattered in all directions.

  The cultivation of He Nanru and the leading figures was already at the Dao Palace Realm, so dodging Xiao Lingchen's attack wasn't difficult.

  However, the weaker city guards and family forces behind them weren't so fortunate.

  Before they could react, they were slain by the Sword Qi!

  This single strike claimed the lives of tens of thousands!

  He Nanru and the leaders of the various families' faces darkened.

  "Xiao Lingchen, your bloodthirsty nature is beyond words!"

  "Everyone, join me in slaying this fiend!"

  "Kill!!!"

  In an instant, the hundreds of thousands present erupted with spiritual power, activating their cultivation methods and divine powers, launching an assault on Xiao Lingchen!

  The great battle was about to begin!
