System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At the gathering point of the Immortal Realm Ancient Road Secret Realm, the number of cultivators increased rapidly from a few thousand at the beginning to more than 100,000 cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

With such a large number of cultivators gathered in one place, those who harbor deep hatred for each other would instantly start fighting once they met.

As these battles and clashes became increasingly frequent, the Ancient Academy, as the host of this place, along with its Void-Reversing Immortals and the immortals accompanying them from other major powers in the three thousand prefectures, all made their appearance. Among them was the Heartless Ancestor of the Chen Xuan Sect.

As soon as the immortals appeared, they immediately used their great supernatural powers to suppress all the fighting.

Inside the sect's gathering point at the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace, the Heartless Ancestor sat cross-legged on a jade platform, his gaze sharp as lightning as he swept over the disciples below. He slowly said, "I have clearly sensed that the void rift is accumulating immense power. In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the entrance to the secret realm will appear."

Upon hearing this, the sect disciples, led by Chen Xuan and Piao Xue, all nodded in understanding.

"The opening of this ancient Immortal Realm Road will last for approximately three years. Whether you can achieve anything within these three years depends entirely on your own fortune." The Heartless Ancestor turned his gaze to Chen Xuan and the others, and continued, "If you meet in the secret realm, you must unite as one and help each other."

"We will follow our master's teachings!" the disciples responded in unison, their voices echoing in all directions.

"Well, after you enter the secret realm, I will return to the sect and come back to guide you three years later." The Heartless Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression majestic. "Therefore, in the secret realm, no matter who you are or what your background is, you must seize any opportunity. As for any threats you encounter, my Xuanqing Palace will protect you."

The Heartless Ancestor's words were undoubtedly a clear message to his disciples: within the Ancient Immortal Path, they must fight tooth and nail for any opportunities they encounter. As for the prodigies of those large tribes and super sects, if they lacked the strength to fight, that was one thing, but if they had even a fighting chance, they absolutely could not back down and must claim a share.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" The disciples bowed in gratitude.

"Go then." The Heartless Ancestor looked at Chen Xuan and his disciples with satisfaction.

Soon, the two groups bid farewell to their master and left the palace in an orderly manner.

"Senior Sister, you lead the senior brothers and sisters to the assembly point first." As soon as he stepped out of the palace, Chen Xuan secretly transmitted his voice to Senior Sister Piaoxue.

Upon hearing this, Piaoxue looked at Chen Xuan with a worried expression and said, "Junior brother, the various forces in the outside world are now deeply intertwined. If it weren't for the presence of several immortals, this place would probably be in chaos long ago."

Chen Xuan's expression was solemn. He nodded slightly and replied with a wry smile, "Senior Sister, I know the implications, but I have my own plans."

Seemingly remembering something, Chen Xuan hurriedly reminded Senior Sister Piaoxue: "Senior Sister, have you distributed all the talismans I asked you to pass on to the fellow disciples yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Piaoxue nodded and replied, "One for each person, all have been distributed properly."

Chen Xuan nodded and continued, "The talisman, once activated by both, can be carried on one's person and can sense each other's location within a range of ten thousand miles. Moreover, once the person who refined the talisman dies, the talisman will lose its effect."

After speaking, Chen Xuan looked at the other senior brothers and sisters and solemnly said, "After entering the secret realm, if you sense the location of other fellow disciples within ten thousand miles, be sure to meet up with them as soon as possible."

Chen Xuan's current strength and standing among his fellow disciples have long surpassed those of his so-called senior brothers and sisters. Although he has not yet officially become a second-generation disciple, in reality, Chen Xuan's importance in the eyes of his fellow disciples has already exceeded that of Yun Yi, Jian Xin, and even Senior Sister Piao Xue.

“We’ve noted it down,” Senior Brother Shanhe nodded in response.

"Thank you for the reminder, Junior Brother Beiming. In such a chaotic situation, it's naturally better to meet fellow disciples after entering the secret realm than to venture out alone." Senior Sister Qinglian nodded in agreement.

After Chen Xuan finished giving his instructions, Wang Kaixuan left the main group and also transmitted his voice, saying, "Junior brother, senior brother is waiting for you in the secret realm."

Chen Xuan looked at Wang Kaixuan and nodded in response with a smile.

Just as all the disciples were looking at Chen Xuan with puzzled expressions, suddenly—

wow——

The entire world seemed to tremble violently, and then a strange, earth-shattering spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Subsequently, the nearly 100,000 cultivators gathered at the assembly point all looked towards the distant horizon and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's a spatial rift in the Ancient Immortal Realm!"

"The true essence of heaven and earth here is so rich, and there is also this ancient aura. It is clearly the aura of the true essence of heaven and earth in ancient times! One year of seclusion here is equivalent to three years outside!"

"The divine power within me is surging, as if it's about to boil!"

"Legend has it that the Ancient Immortal Road was the second habitat opened up after the defeat of the ancient Immortal Realm gods and demons. It was once the dwelling place of those pure-blooded gods and demons, and the laws of heaven and earth were perfectly in harmony with the way of gods and demons to refine their bodies."

"Haha, this is a stroke of luck, an incredible stroke of luck! With such a true essence that is so compatible with divine power, I only need to go into seclusion for a short while to break through to the great realm of the Divine Demon Body Refinement!"

"Everyone, I'll go first!"

……

As excited shouts rang out from all sides, numerous cultivators soared into the air, like a swarm of bees, rushing headlong towards the spacetime rift that stretched for thousands of miles.

Hua Hua Hua——

At the same time, Chen Xuan also sensed several extremely powerful auras. He slightly released his divine sense and detected the immortals accompanying the various super sects and super tribes.

"Junior brothers and sisters, follow me into the secret realm!" As the leader of this operation, Piaoxue immediately gave the order. Then, the group soared into the sky and rushed towards the huge spatial rift.

Chen Xuan saw it clearly: as soon as Senior Sister Piaoxue and her group flew close to the space-time rift, they instantly turned into tiny ripples of water, and then their aura disappeared completely. Even the mother-child sensing talisman that Chen Xuan possessed completely lost its ability to sense them.

"Xuan'er, why haven't you entered with your fellow disciples yet?" After appearing, the Heartless Ancestor asked with concern when he saw that Chen Xuan had not yet made a move.

Chen Xuan clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Grandmaster, this disciple only wants to see which powerful opponents have entered this time, so that I can have an estimate in mind."

Upon hearing this, the Heartless Ancestor nodded in satisfaction and praised, "You are indeed composed."

Just then, swish—

A team of more than eight people headed straight for the spacetime rift in the sky.

"The Dragon Hunter Clan?" Chen Xuan glanced at it but didn't pay much attention.

Then, twelve more groups of young men and women dressed in light blue robes appeared. Chen Xuan only needed to use his divine sense to scan them slightly to know that this group were all members of the Tianxuan clan.

"Nothing special," Chen Xuan commented dismissively.

Then, Chen Xuan looked at another small team of more than thirty people.

"Zi Mo, Tian Xing, Zi Yu... you must all take care of yourselves." Chen Xuan looked at his friends whom he cared about from afar, then his figure flashed, turning into a bolt of lightning, and he flew slowly towards the space-time rift.

At this moment, more cultivators bid farewell to their tribal elders and sect seniors, transforming into beams of light to overtake Chen Xuan and surge into the secret realm.

Chen Xuan frowned, deliberately slowing his flight speed while fully unleashing his divine sense. Unfortunately, even after reaching the edge of the spatial rift, he still couldn't find any members of the Nalan clan who were participating in the secret realm.

However, just as Chen Xuan was about to give up temporarily and prepare to rush into the secret realm—

shhhhh--

Several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out beside them.

"The Shift of Heaven and Earth?" Chen Xuan was startled and pondered to himself.
