Rise of the Otherworld.

Lin Yu sat in the study, holding the mysterious invitation in his hand, his eyes fixed on the strange pattern and the words emitting faint spiritual fluctuations, and fell into deep thought. The paper of the invitation was delicate, as if it had been precipitated by years. The mysterious pattern on it was like an ancient rune, flickering with a faint light. The powerful power that seemed to be there and not there made him keenly feel that this event was extraordinary.

"Master, could this unidentified invitation be a trap?" Tang Feng frowned, his face filled with worry. He paced back and forth in the room, his uneasiness evident.

Lin Yu shook his head slightly, his eyes firm as iron. He placed the invitation letter gently on the table and crossed his hands on his chest: "But this may also be an opportunity for the Zhenwang Sect to make further progress. We can't retreat because of potential dangers." His voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable determination.

The magic woman sat quietly aside, her eyes full of thought. After a moment, she said, "If the sect leader decides to go, he must be careful. I always feel that there are many unknown secrets hidden in it." Her tone was gentle, but full of concern.

Lin Yu nodded and glanced at everyone: "I have made up my mind. Tang Feng, magic girl, you will go with me and select a few outstanding disciples to prepare for emergencies."

After several days of traveling, they finally arrived at the venue of the grand event—a mysterious valley hidden in the clouds. The valley was surrounded by mountains and mist, as if it were isolated from the outside world. At the entrance of the valley, there were two guards dressed in strange clothes. They were tall, with stern faces and lightning-like eyes, examining Lin Yu and others.

"Who is coming?" The guard's voice was low and majestic, like the sound of a bell from ancient times, echoing in the valley.

Lin Yu walked forward neither humbly nor arrogantly and handed over the invitation. The guards took the invitation and examined it carefully. Their eyes swept back and forth over Lin Yu and others with scrutiny and vigilance.

After a moment, the guard nodded and let him pass: "Go in."

Entering the valley, Lin Yu and the others were stunned by the sight. A variety of bizarre buildings were scattered throughout the valley. Some towered into the clouds, seemingly reaching the sky; others resembled pavilions, exquisite and elegant; and still others had bizarre shapes, filled with mysterious runes and patterns. Each participant exuded a powerful aura, chatting in groups or meditating alone. Each of them exuded a powerful spiritual energy.

"What kind of event is this?" A disciple couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his eyes wide open, full of curiosity and awe.

Lin Yu whispered to everyone: "Be careful what you say and do, don't cause trouble. There are many strong people here, we must not take it lightly."

At that moment, an old man stepped forward. He was dressed in a white robe, his beard was as white as snow, but his eyes were deep and sharp. The old man smiled and said, "Welcome, friends of the Zhenwang Sect. I am the guide of this grand event." His voice was gentle and kind, like a spring breeze.

Under the guidance of the old man, Lin Yu and others learned that this event was not only for exchanges and learning, but also for jointly dealing with an impending mysterious crisis. However, the old man did not say much about the specific circumstances of this crisis.

"Mysterious crisis?" Lin Yu frowned, his heart full of doubts. He tried to find more information from the old man's expression, but the old man always had a mysterious smile on his face.

The old man nodded solemnly, "You'll know the details later. Now, please familiarize yourself with the environment and wait for the official start of the event."

As the event progressed, Lin Yu discovered that each faction seemed to have its own plans. Some forces were secretly colluding, while others were keeping to themselves and observing the development of the situation. The True King Sect, however, seemed somewhat isolated and helpless in this complex situation.

At an exchange meeting, a representative from a powerful sect openly challenged the Zhenwang Sect: "I heard that the Zhenwang Sect has become famous in the martial arts world recently. I wonder what real abilities they have?" His words were full of sarcasm and disdain.

Tang Feng couldn't help but stood up and was about to refute, but was stopped by Lin Yu with his eyes.

Lin Yu smiled slightly and said slowly: "Real ability cannot be expressed by words. The results will be revealed in the future." His answer was neither humble nor arrogant, leaving the other party speechless for a moment.

However, this provocation is just the beginning. Can the Zhenwang Sect stand out in this mysterious event and cope with unknown crises?
