Chapter 604: Immortal Gate Opens and Closes
When Yu Lie was hiding on the huge chessboard, practicing peacefully while waiting for the opportunity, within a few days, there were unusual movements among the people on the Dao Court side.

Kuimulang and others came out in a team, holding flags and other things in their hands, and cleaned the chessboard inch by inch.

Whenever they found a Taoist priest, they would first use courtesy and then force in an attempt to drive him away.

Seeing that they were outnumbered and powerful, the other Taoists chose to retreat at first. However, when the people in the Taoist court showed that they wanted to drive everyone off the chessboard completely and leave no place for them to stay, a fight naturally broke out on the chessboard.

This situation made Yu Lie, who was watching secretly, quite confused.

Although the Dao Court had Taoist masters who had achieved alchemy, complete manpower, and were well-organized, while Huoxing City had scattered personnel, the latter had more Taoist masters and more Taoists. In terms of the apparent number alone, the latter had three times as many as the former.

Yu Lie really didn’t understand why this group of people in the Taoist Court had the courage to fight with the top Taoists in the entire Huoxing City.

His eyes flickered, and he quickly remembered the blood mist space he had entered before entering the secret realm, and thought to himself:

"Could it be that the Daoting guys have succeeded in their scheme in the secret realm?!"

Taking this into consideration, Yu Lie immediately and quietly slipped to the periphery, walked to the very edge of the chessboard and stopped there. He didn't want to go forward and confront the people from Daoting head-on at all.

Soon, when the situation on the chessboard became more and more tense, the scattered Taoists in Huoxing City gathered together, and the four Taoist masters with Dancheng aura were also unhappy with the behavior of the people in the Taoist court and stood up.

Finally, a dark shadow walked out of the much-watched Dao Court tent. It transformed into a ghost with a green face and fangs. It stood in mid-air, looking around and shouting coldly:
"My fellow Taoists, it is still a long time before the last layer of the secret realm opens. I ask you to leave now, only because it is necessary for the cultivation of the Son of God, so that no one can accidentally bump into it and ruin the Son of God's cultivation.

By then, you will be in big trouble!"

"Son of God?"

When this title entered the ears of the crowd, many people looked confused, but the eyes of some well-informed people changed immediately, especially the four Dancheng Taoist masters who stood up.

The four of them were originally covered in gray or white fog, trying to hide their identities. Now when they heard the word "Son of God" from Master Morosan's mouth, the fog that concealed their figures suddenly became thicker, for fear of being recognized by the other party.

Seeing that the four leading Dancheng Taoist masters did not speak, the Taoists present were not fools. They all stopped fighting and just stared at each other to see how the other four were going to deal with it.

There was a strange silence.

After a long time, a Taoist priest finally took a step forward and said with a dry laugh:
"Practice, could it be that the Son of God has completed his practice and is planning to break through to the Jindan stage? Speaking of which, this place rejects people who are in the Jindan stage, so it is not a good choice to break through to the Jindan stage here."

Some people laughed grimly:

"Moro, I heard a long time ago that you joined the Dao Court and hooked up with a big shot. Now it seems that you are really a big shot."

Waves of spiritual consciousness immediately surged across the chessboard. The four Taoist masters and the Moro San Master whispered in secret, and their faces became more and more solemn.

Among the other Taoists, the discussions and whispers became more frequent, and everyone was discussing who the "Son of God" mentioned by Master Morosan was.

Including Yu Lie, he frowned, pondered, and thought to himself:

"It is rumored that the term 'Son of God' is the name used in the Dao Court today to refer to seeds with great potential for becoming immortals. But ever since the birth of the first-grade golden elixir, this title has been monopolized by that person and belongs exclusively to that person.

Could it be that the person who came to this secret realm is the one who has reached the first level of Golden Core… But he has already reached the Golden Core stage, so there is no need for him to hang out in this secret realm of Huoxing City.”

Out of curiosity, Yu Lie quickly released a few crows from his sleeves and let them fly quietly in all directions to gather information.

Soon, because the Taoists who were able to get onto the chessboard were all well-known figures in Huoxing City, although everyone did not know the full picture, after communicating with each other, they pieced together the facts, and the identity of the magical child was soon revealed.

Everyone knew that although the person who came was not Shen Linzi, he was his younger brother!

After some Taoists sighed, they wisely chose to retreat and no longer get involved in the trouble at hand.

Including the four Dancheng Dao Masters, two of them sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly:

"Fellow Daoist Moro is right. There is still some time before the final level of the sky opens. Since this is what the Son of God needs for cultivation, we will give this place to him first."

"Sorry for disturbing His Royal Highness the Son of God's practice. Let's go!"

The two Dancheng Dao masters waved their hands and led their men away from the chessboard. However, they did not completely disappear from everyone's sight. Instead, they stayed outside the chessboard in mid-air, watching the situation on the chessboard from afar.

Even the Taoist Master Dan Cheng chose to back down, and the other Taoists were even more so.

With a clatter, most of the people on the chessboard retreated in a few breaths, leaving only a small number of people who doubted Dao Ting or had grudges against Dao Ting still on the chessboard.

Some people couldn't help but choke, and there were quite a few:
"Humph! So what if he is the disciple of Shen Linzi? This place is a land of disasters. Let alone Shen Linzi, even if it is the Dao Lord of the current Dao Court, would he dare to step into the land of disasters?"

"This place belongs to the secret realm. I am the one who brought disaster to the people of the region. This is not the territory for you Dao Court lackeys!"

Some people even shouted, "Everyone, they must have found some benefits and are deliberately driving us away."

Yu Lie was mixed in among them. After thinking about it, he also thought that what Master Moro said was probably just an excuse.

Not to mention that the other party had already set his sights on the secret realm a long time ago, let’s just talk about it in terms of his identity as Shenqizi.

It is absolutely impossible for the other party to form a pill in a hurry. If he can come to the secret realm of Huoxing City to search for treasure, he must at least enter the last level of the secret book and obtain benefits that help the pill become top-grade before he will try to form a pill.

Otherwise, based on Yu Lie's knowledge alone, although the benefits of the area below the first level of heaven are precious, for the younger brother of a first-grade Golden Elixir Taoist master in Daoting, it is probably just rare.

If the other party really wanted to form a pill, he could have done it long before entering the secret realm. There was no need to take the risk of coming into the secret realm.

"In this case, the only explanation is that the other party's hidden hand in the secret realm is most likely related to the last level of heaven. This guy drove us away so that he could get more benefits!"

Yu Lie's eyes flickered and he kept looking up at the dark clouds above his head.

There was an oppressive aura coming from the thick dark clouds, as if there was a huge object swimming in it, ready to swoop down at any time to crush and devour them.

Yu Lie was alert and made up his mind, "We can't retreat. You, Shen Qi, can touch the benefits of this secret realm, so why can't I, Yu Lie?"

He decided that even if he had to call out the White Bone Guardian General and expose himself, he had to stay on the chessboard.

Fortunately, the situation at the scene did not completely go as Master Moro and Shenqi expected.

The remaining two Dancheng Dao Masters sneered and said in unison:

"Since the Son of God wants to practice, we should naturally protect him well, so that others will not say that we are rude."

When Moro heard this, a ferocious and angry look appeared on his huge ghost body, and he roared:

"You two, don't ruin your future and your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his claws were filled with ghostly energy, and they quickly rushed towards the two Dancheng Taoist masters.

The mist on the bodies of the two Taoists who had achieved the Dancheng state also rolled up immediately and condensed into a Dharma body that was thirty meters in size.

Being in the secret realm, no matter how advanced the Taoist master who enters is, or how big his demon body or Dharma body is, they must be suppressed below the level of Dancheng. This Dharma body of thirty meters in size is already the limit of what the two can display.

This was also one of the main reasons why Master Moro, alone, dared to take the initiative to attack two people of Dancheng level whose backgrounds were unknown. Anyway, no matter how high the other party's original cultivation level was, the three of them were now on par with each other.

Moreover, behind Moro there is the Daoting army and Shenqizi supporting him.

Even if by some chance, Moro was no match for the two and was defeated, the magical boy had many treasures in his hands, and according to the contract between the two, he would not stand by and watch against his will.

Roar, roar, roar, roar!

Three huge bodies were spread across the chessboard, casting spells like meteor showers that could cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split. Their might made the Taoists around them look fearful.

But no matter whether it is the Taoist priest from Daoting or from Huoxing City.

When the Taoist masters who had achieved Dancheng had already started fighting, the remaining Taoists naturally also used all their magical powers.

Among them, Heishuizi was the most active, and he immediately shouted: "Two Taoist priests, I am here to lend you a helping hand!"

With a bang, the black water turned into a ball of gray mist.

The whole mist was made up of poisonous insects. He hid among the insects, hovered on the chessboard, and took the lead in attacking several Taoist priests in the Taoist court.

Ah, two screams were heard. Any Taoist priest who was caught by the swarm of black water insects would not be able to hold on for a few breaths. They would burst on the spot, with their skin and flesh torn apart, and be eaten clean by the poisonous insects.

When everyone in the Taoist court saw this scene, many of them were horrified. Immediately, high-ranking Taoist priests like Jiaomu Jiao came out to fight Heishuizi.

Heishuizi was a cunning fellow. When he saw that he had become so prominent and was being watched, he immediately retreated back to the crowd of Huoxing City and shouted:

"Kill, kill, kill, hahaha!

Fellow Daoists, these Daoist lackeys are very wealthy! If we kill one of them, we can eat for ten years!"

The Taoist priests of Huoxing City, who were originally cautious, immediately reacted after hearing the reminder, especially those who did not gain much benefits in the secret realm.

They cursed and said, "Damn it, I've been bullied by these bastards all the way here, and my pockets are empty!"

"Damn it, give me your life!"

Clusters of magic spells were thrown at the people from the Taoist Court who were chasing Heishuizi.

Even though most of the Taoists from Huoxing City had retreated, the number of people still left on the chessboard was still more than twice that of the Taoist Court, and they were able to surround and attack the other side.

However, the people from Huoxing City are scattered and wary of each other, fearing that they will be killed, and are unable to cooperate effectively. Only small groups can work closely together, which is far inferior to the tacit understanding of Daoting.

Seeing this situation, Heishuizi spread the message everywhere and did what Yu Lie wanted to do but was hesitant to do.

This fellow used the poisonous insects under his command to transform into various sounds, and kept shouting:

"My fellow Taoists, there is something fishy going on in the Dao Court. They have already secretly arranged a formation and want to take over the secret realm for themselves!"

"They are up to something. I'm afraid they want to occupy the high ground and sacrifice us with blood."

Heishuizi directly revealed everything that the people in Daoting had done in the secret realm before, and even exaggerated it.

When the other Taoists heard this, whether they were from Huoxing City or the Taoist Court, their expressions changed.

"Really?! Damn it, I've long suspected there was something wrong with the blood order."

"Thief, return my brother's life to me."

When the two Taoists who had achieved the elixir mastered heard this, their brows under the mist frowned, and after thinking for a few breaths, they all laughed harshly and snorted coldly.

One of the Dancheng Daoists shouted, "So that's why I was wondering why you wanted to drive us away. It turns out you wanted to enter the last level of heaven alone.

Shenqizi, do you really think that the secret realm of my Chaos Fairy Palace is easy to come to? "

The Taoist master's figure flashed, and he immediately avoided Master Morosan, and chose to rush straight towards the tent.

Judging from his remarks, this person seems to have a close relationship with the Huoluan Immortal Palace, and it is even possible that he is a disciple from the Immortal Palace who came down to earth to gain benefits.

"Not good!" Master Morosan was very anxious, and he stared fiercely at the people in the Dao Court on both sides:
"Damn it, who leaked the news?"

In fact, Master Moro was not afraid of provoking public anger, he could just slowly deal with the group of scattered cultivators. What he was afraid of was ruining the overall situation and causing Shenqizi's displeasure, which would make all his efforts over the years go to waste.

Moro immediately summoned up all his strength and shouted:

"If I let you go, then go! If you don't want to, then you can stay here forever."

The beast gritted his teeth and split his ghost body into two, which turned into two streams of black smoke, respectively holding back the two people who had completed the Dancheng stage, preventing them from rushing into the formation and disturbing Shenqizi.

At the same time, it also hurriedly sent a message to Shenqizi, asking the other party to act quickly, as it could not hold on for much longer.

Rumble, huge amounts of true energy expanded, and the aftermath created waves on the chessboard.

Many of the statue chess pieces were knocked over or even cracked by the shaking, but the chessboard under everyone's feet remained motionless without even a scratch.

The two Dancheng Taoist masters and the Morosan Taoist master fought fiercely. The remaining foundation-building Taoists also started to fight with their true flames, using spells and magic weapons to kill each other.

Yu Lie was at the scene and was inevitably involved in the fighting, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he was delighted by the chaos at the scene.

This fellow was not in a hurry to show off his strength. Instead, he tried his best to hide it, fighting for a while, running for a while, and circling around the person in the courtyard on the chessboard.
