Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 520 Beneath the Hundred Flowers Mountain Range

"Alright, the Palace of a Thousand Flowers is just ahead. Let's give it our all."

As they approached their destination, Elder Kang's serious expression relaxed slightly, and he turned to introduce the place to everyone.

This time, his journey in and out of the Hundred Flowers Mountains was much easier than that of those clueless, reckless young men.

On one occasion, while passing through this temporary mountain access passage, a disciple accidentally triggered a mechanism and was trapped for a long time. In the end, the Wanhua Palace had to send someone to resolve the situation, which caused quite a commotion.

Upon hearing this, the group perked up and, without taking a break, continued on their way.

The mountains and forests were lush and green, their dark green branches swaying wildly in the wind. Passing through this forest, a clearing soon opened up before us. Among the white stones in the forest, there stood a white stone staircase.

The stone steps lead upwards, and every short distance there are people specifically assigned to guard the area.

The group walked up the stone steps and soon arrived at a cluster of gray-white palaces and pavilions.

At the main gate directly in front of the pavilion stands a tall archway with the three large characters "Wanhua Palace" written on it.

Several middle-aged women sat cross-legged at the palace gate, all wearing yellow crowns, with faint wrinkles on their faces, and dressed in wide robes, exuding an imposing aura.

At this moment, several people had gathered in front of them, handing something over to them.

Within Yunzhou, there are few secret realms, and most of them are not open to the public.

Therefore, the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm of the Myriad Flowers Palace attracts numerous martial artists every time it opens. Even though the spots for the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm are quite expensive, there are still people who are desperate to get in, spending huge sums of money to find a way in.

As soon as the group approached, disciples came to greet them.

This is a female disciple dressed in a sexy style, seemingly because the environment is too stuffy.

She wore only a thin white strapless top, revealing her beautiful, flat stomach without an ounce of fat, and a short skirt, naturally exposing her long, fair, and delicate legs.

"You gentlemen are from Jingtian Manor, right? Please submit your documents to the elders, and then proceed to the rest area for quiet meditation. The opening of the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm will officially begin tomorrow. I will also be gathering everyone later today to discuss some important points."

The female disciple handed a plaque inscribed with the name of Jingtian Manor to Elder Kang, who was leading the group.

She could tell who these people were at a glance; they were all wearing the uniforms of Jingtian Manor. "Thank you." Elder Kang smiled and accepted the gifts, leading the group toward the Wanhua Palace archway.

"The people from Jingtian Manor are here again..." a slightly sour voice rang out.

"Yes, tell me, tell me, such a powerful force, every time the secret realm opens, they still have to compete with us small businesses for a spot..."

There weren't many spots to begin with, and then he showed up with over a dozen people, taking up almost half of them..."

"Exactly! The five major powers of Yunzhou, bah! Without their own secret realm, I think they're doomed sooner or later!"

Many people nearby gathered in twos and threes when they saw the people from Jingtianzhuang coming over, whispering and gossiping.

Each time a secret realm opens, the Myriad Flower Palace releases dozens of secret realm slots, but Jing Tian Manor alone takes up more than half of them.

This makes the remaining spots expensive, requiring even greater expenditures. Therefore, it's understandable that these independent martial artists are somewhat unfriendly towards Jing Tian Manor.

Elder Kang led the way, ignoring everyone as if he hadn't heard anything, and arrived at the palace gate in front of several Wanhua Palace elders who had been waiting for a long time.

"He Xiang, Yun Xiang, I didn't expect it to be the two of you this time..." He seemed to recognize the two sitting in the front, and they were quite familiar with each other.

"What, you're allowed to lead the team here, but we're not allowed to show our faces?" Elder He Xiang on the left had a bad tone, probably because she was a fiery young woman in her youth.

"Alright, sister, what's past is past... Let's get back to business..." Elder Yunxiang on the right said with a smile.

Her personality was clearly gentle, and her tone and attitude were extremely mild.

Elder Kang could only smile wryly and dare not respond.

The five major forces under the Yuanmiao Sect in Yunzhou are Jingtian Manor, Sanshan Sect, Wanhua Palace, Shouyi Temple, and Yunzhou Prefecture Army.

Of these five major forces, the first two are Shouyi Temple and Yunzhou Prefecture Army. They are evenly matched, with similar influence and it is difficult to determine which is superior.

But the rankings that follow are quite clear.

The Three Mountains Sect, the Myriad Flowers Palace, and the Jingtian Manor.

Wanhua Palace and Jingtian Manor, as the two weakest of the five major forces, have naturally cooperated in many operations, which can be regarded as sticking together for warmth.

In his youth, Elder Kang participated in many cooperative missions with Wanhua Palace, was extremely familiar with Wanhua Palace, and had good relationships with many high-ranking members.

This left him with many romantic entanglements, which is also the reason why he was appointed as the team leader.

Elder He Xiang quickly finished checking the documents and found no problems.

However, while checking the number of people, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Old Kang, why are there a few fewer disciples? Are they not coming? The spots have already been given to you, and even if you can't come, the money won't be refunded."

The mention of this matter only added to Elder Kang's worries. He said with a wry smile, "Let's leave it at that and follow the rules."

He wasn't oblivious to Fang Shouming's situation while on the road.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Given Fang Shouming's personality, it's impossible for him to make such a big mistake on such an important matter.

The only possible explanation is that an accident occurred...

This accident was very likely a life-threatening one, which is why Fang Shouming was delayed in arriving.

But he had no choice; he was too busy to deal with everything. He could only deal with the aftermath once the secret realm was over.

Elder Kang quickly completed the handover and processed the entry and exit procedures. "Old Kang, you're practically a member of the Myriad Flowers Palace, so I won't go into anything else. The secret realm officially opens tomorrow, and your residence will be in the Xilan Garden of the Jiancai Palace."

"Hong Sheng, take them there." He Xiang said to the sexy female disciple who had initially greeted Han Yi and his group.

"Yes." Hong Sheng quickly stepped forward.

Then, under her guidance, the group from Jingtianzhuang walked into the Wanhua Palace.

Along both sides of the road, disciples could be seen guiding other martial artists from outside the area from time to time.

Among these martial artists, some were chatting happily in small groups, while others stood still and exchanged information.

There are even enemies who harbor mutual hatred and might draw their swords at any moment. If it weren't for the rules of the Myriad Flowers Palace, they would have already started fighting.

But there is absolutely no team as large and powerful as Jingtianzhuang.
