The towering red beam of light lasted for a full quarter of an hour before gradually dissipating.

The powerful figures within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were almost all attracted by this suddenly appearing pillar of light and immediately set off to fly over.

Although secret realms are rarely seen on the Tianque Continent, they do exist.

Even those powerful individuals who have lived for hundreds of years have heard of the various things related to the secret realm, even if they have never personally entered it.

When the secret realm appears, the red pillar of light shooting into the sky is an indispensable phenomenon.

The larger the beam of light and the longer it lasts, the larger the space and the more treasures will be in the secret realm that is about to appear! At the same time, the higher the level of martial artists it can accommodate.

Of course, along with the numerous benefits comes equal danger. However, these dangers are often overlooked by the martial artists who wish to enter the secret realm.

There is no free lunch in the world.

The birth of any powerful figure is accompanied by countless dangers. If you hesitate because of fear of danger or death, you might as well be an ordinary person and not bother to embark on the path of martial arts!

The mountain range where the secret realm appeared was about a hundred miles away from where Jiang Xiaochuan was.

After the red light dissipated, Jiang Xiaochuan returned to the inn, packed his things, and quickly took Xiaoqing and Xiaogu with him to rush over.

When Jiang Xiaochuan arrived, there were already quite a few people around the entrance to the secret realm.

The entrance to this secret realm is located in a plain between two large mountains.

At this moment, the entrance to the secret realm was not yet fully open, and Jiang Xiaochuan could clearly sense the energy fluctuations emanating from the entrance, which were sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

Jiang Xiaochuan overheard a conversation among several martial artists nearby and learned that it would be about ten days before this secret realm was fully opened.

These martial artists who had arrived early had no intention of leaving for the time being, and they all sat down cross-legged nearby.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan followed suit, found a thick tree, jumped up, and lay down on a branch.

As time went by, more and more martial artists came to this place.

The best locations closest to the entrance of the secret realm were occupied by powerful independent cultivators or groups of various forces.

As for those martial artists with lower cultivation levels, they had no choice but to retreat further away to make room for those stronger than themselves.

Although Jiang Xiaochuan was among the first to arrive, he didn't choose a spot too far forward, so for the first few days, no one bothered him.

However, on the tenth day, the arrival of Tianyin Water Pavilion and several other Black Iron forces caused some of the warriors in front to have to make room and retreat.

Among these martial artists, there was a tall, burly man with an iron hammer on his shoulder who had his eye on the spot occupied by Jiang Xiaochuan.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan was young, simply dressed, and alone, the big man immediately categorized him as a minor character who could be bullied. With a stern face, he strode over aggressively.

Anyone with eyes could see that this big man was going to cause trouble for Jiang Xiaochuan, but no one was willing to step forward and meddle, and they all chose to watch coldly from the sidelines.

The burly man's name was Li Tie. He was a body cultivator at the peak of the True Embryo realm. He once used his powerful physical skills to withstand a blow from a powerful cultivator in the early stages of the Mountain-Shaking Realm and survive, which made him famous among rogue cultivators.

In contrast, none of the martial artists present recognized Jiang Xiaochuan.

Compared to Li Tie, Jiang Xiaochuan is only superior in appearance and temperament; otherwise, they are almost incomparable.

Therefore, these martial artists believed that if Jiang Xiaochuan were pragmatic, he would definitely give up his position to Li Tie.

Li Tie himself thought so too, which is why he walked towards Jiang Xiaochuan with a smug look on his face. It seemed that he wanted to regain some face for his embarrassing behavior of giving up his seat to other strong people, and also to make himself feel a little more balanced.

To Li Tie's surprise, even after he had walked to the tree where Jiang Xiaochuan was lying, Jiang Xiaochuan still did not make any move, remaining oblivious to his surroundings, comfortably resting with his arm propped up and his eyes closed.

As a martial artist, Li Tie did not believe that Jiang Xiaochuan had not noticed his arrival.

In his view, Jiang Xiaochuan's complete disregard for him was entirely intentional and a sign of contempt!

Enraged, Li Tie casually swung down the massive iron hammer, almost as tall as him, which he had been carrying on his shoulder. With a loud crash, it slammed vertically to the ground. He looked up at Jiang Xiaochuan and said coldly:

"Kid, I'll count to three. If you don't give up your seat, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as Li Tie shouted "One!", Jiang Xiaochuan opened his eyes, sat up, looked at the tall and burly Li Tie, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"This place is so big, if you want to stay here, just sit down, I have no objection. Or perhaps you've taken a fancy to this tree branch I'm lying on? But—with your size, I'm afraid this branch won't be able to support you if you sit on it, will it?"

As soon as Jiang Xiaochuan finished speaking, several bursts of laughter rang out from all around.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!!"

Although Jiang Xiaochuan's tone was very serious, Li Tie heard it as a mockery, especially after hearing the snickers around him, which instantly made his anger surge to its peak.

Even if Jiang Xiaochuan offered him his seat at this point, it would be useless!

He vowed that he would teach this arrogant brat a lesson today!

Having made up his mind, Li Tie gripped the hammer in the back of his hand and swung it forcefully at the large tree in front of him.

With the immense force of the hammer, it easily smashed the huge tree, which was as thick as two people could hug, into pieces.

Jiang Xiaochuan had already flipped and jumped up before Li Tie swung his hammer, landing on the ground.

"Hey big guy, are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?"

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at Li Tie across from him with a displeased expression.

In his view, Li Tie's behavior was completely unreasonable.

Li Tie laughed angrily, then swung his hammer and charged at Jiang Xiaochuan without replying.

The surrounding martial artists never expected things to develop this way, but since it was free entertainment, they figured they might as well watch. Anyway, there was still some time before the secret realm opened, so they just treated it as a way to pass the time.

Seeing that this big guy was being so unreasonable, Jiang Xiaochuan naturally wouldn't tolerate him. Just as the hammer was about to swing, Jiang Xiaochuan made a move and firmly grabbed the hammer that was coming at him.

Li Tie was startled. He hadn't expected that Jiang Xiaochuan, who looked so frail, could catch the hammer so easily with his bare hands.

Although he didn't use his full strength in that strike, he still used about 60% of his power.

This suggests that the young man in front of him is stronger than he had anticipated.

Li Tie didn't take the failed attack too seriously.

In his opinion, even if Jiang Xiaochuan's strength exceeded his expectations, it was definitely not stronger than his.

Just as Li Tie was about to retract his hammer and launch another attack, he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the hammer held by Jiang Xiaochuan remained firmly in his hand and he couldn't pull it back at all.
