The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

As time passed, the last brave climber finally, after enduring countless hardships, reached the awe-inspiring 1,000th step. With her successful ascent and the baptism of that mysterious divine power, the top 20 climbers emerged as the center of attention. Each of them climbed the 1,000th step with unwavering determination. Each step embodied countless sweat and perseverance, and each breath bore witness to their challenge and transcendence of limits.

At that moment, a dazzling light streamed down from the distant sky, like the dawn, illuminating a woman of elegant form and extraordinary grace—Ying Ni. Clad in a dazzling gown, she looked like a fairy descended to earth, her every move emanating a captivating aura, as if a star from heaven had fallen to earth.

Ying Yao gracefully raised her hand, and the radiant path to heaven slowly shrank within her palm, transforming into a stream of light, like a brilliant galaxy, merging into her palm. Her eyes were deep and mysterious, as if she could see through everything in the world, knowing the past and the future. In that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her, anticipating her next move, as if waiting for a miracle.

"Everyone, you've proven your strength and courage." Ying Ni's voice echoed like heavenly music, resonating in everyone's ears, like ethereal music, refreshing and soothing. Under the gaze of the crowd, she imbued twenty azure tokens engraved with the Azure Dragon totem with life, one by one, into the bodies of the twenty climbers, connecting them to some mysterious power between heaven and earth.

As the mysterious token gradually merged with their bodies, the twenty young geniuses instantly felt an unprecedented power. Their hearts surged with uncontrollable excitement, for they knew this token was the key to unlocking the legendary Azure Dragon Secret Realm. The Azure Dragon Secret Realm, a place that existed only in ancient legends, was filled with countless mysteries and miracles.

The Azure Dragon Secret Realm spans several worlds, seemingly a small world nurtured within the ancient body of the Azure Dragon. During a cosmic upheaval, this small world unexpectedly detached from the dragon god's body, transforming into an independent and mysterious realm. The existence of this secret realm is undoubtedly a great temptation for practitioners who yearn for power and knowledge.

When they truly stepped into the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, it was as if they had transcended the boundaries of time and space, arriving in a bizarre new world. Looking up, the sky shimmered with a dazzling array of multicolored light. These were spiritual clouds, condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They drifted slowly, emitting a refreshing and soothing aura. The earth beneath their feet was lush and verdant, with exotic flowers and plants taking root everywhere. Each plant held an astonishing vitality, as if communicating with the heavens and earth, drawing endless energy.

Within this secret realm, the sheer number of natural treasures is unimaginable. There's crystal-clear, faintly fluorescent spiritual jade, a single piece of which can significantly boost one's cultivation. There's also the Thunderwood, entwined with strands of lightning and radiating immense power, perfect for refining magical treasures. And then there's the thousand-year-old spiritual fruit, which grows on sheer cliffs, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, each one imbued with boundless vitality and power.

Deep within the secret realm lies a paradise for ferocious and spiritual beasts. These enormous beasts, emitting a terrifying aura, soar through the skies or lurk in the abyss. They are cunning, fierce, and the overlords of this secret realm. Meanwhile, the spiritual beasts are even more agile and lovable, running through the woods or frolicking in the streams, blending seamlessly with the world and composing a hymn to life.

Most astonishing of all are the spirits of this secret realm. They vary in form, some as beautiful as elves, others as mysterious as ghosts. Possessing powers and wisdom distinct from those of humans, they can communicate with all things in nature and collectively safeguard the tranquility of this secret realm. Under their guidance, human explorers are able to glimpse the mysteries of this secret realm and experience its ancient mystery and grandeur.

The Azure Dragon Secret Realm, a relic from the primeval era, has become a sacred place coveted by countless practitioners. Here, they can not only find rare treasures, but also experience the miracle of life and the majesty of nature. All of this will leave a lasting mark in their hearts, becoming the most precious memories of their spiritual journey.

Before Ying Ni, twenty geniuses bowed with utmost respect. Each of them deeply understood the extraordinary value of the token in their hands. Most of these geniuses came from prominent families or powerful sects, holding pivotal positions within their respective families or sects. However, even they, faced with a rare treasure like the Azure Dragon Token, had to pay a price. Furthermore, there were several independent cultivators who, without the support of powerful forces or individuals, would have had no access to such precious resources.

Ying Ying calmly accepted the salutes from these geniuses, which was the respect she deserved based on her strength and status. Then, she used her powerful divine power to open dozens of passages through time and space, which safely transported the younger generation who were not accompanied by their elders back to their homes.

"Take the younger generation of your family back." Ying Ni transmitted a message to the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld, with unquestionable majesty in her voice.

Then, those who remained saw their elders suddenly appear before them. They obediently walked behind them, their previous arrogance and conceit gone, replaced by deep awe.

All the big guys said goodbye to Ying Li one after another. They were ready to leave with their younger generations and end this meaningful gathering.

Just as these people were about to leave, Ying Ni seemed to remember something important. She secretly sent a message to the leaders present: "Old men, I have just implanted the Azure Dragon Token into the bodies of your family's younger generations. This token has become one with them. If they encounter misfortune, the token will automatically disappear."

Several big men who were originally preparing to step into the void suddenly felt their legs go weak after hearing Ying Li's words, and they almost fell. Their bodies also shook slightly. Their hearts were filled with shock and anxiety.

Ying Ni looked around and saw that only Mu Ya and the others she had brought with her were left in the open space. With a wave of her hand, she led them into the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld.
