Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

Li Daoxuan's consciousness returned to his body, and he wanted to ask more questions, but he found that he could no longer contact the old doctor.

"Weng~"

Just as Li Daoxuan was wondering why the old doctor was doing this, a massive energy emanated from the Mountain and River Secret Realm, and within a few breaths it filled all the forces present.

"What's going on?"

Li Daoxuan felt this energy travel through his body and then leave a mark on his soul.

"This is the secret realm checking if you are under 100 years old, and that mark is your admission ticket."

The old doctor's voice appeared in Li Daoxuan's ears.

"senior!"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Daoxuan quickly asked, "What exactly is in this Mountain and River Secret Realm that has attracted so many forces?"

The old physician made no attempt to conceal anything, saying, "There is a sacred artifact in the secret realm, which is also a supreme innate treasure."

"Sacred artifact? Supreme innate treasure?" Li Daoxuan knew what these two terms meant, but he didn't understand how they could be combined together.

The old physician, seeing Li Daoxuan's puzzled expression, explained, "It means that it was originally a supreme treasure of the Great Primordial Realm, but after being nurtured by a sage for many years, its power is stronger than that of ordinary sacred artifacts."

Li Daoxuan nodded, understanding what he meant, and then continued, "If that's the case, how come there are only so few people here now that the secret realm has opened?"

"hehe!"

The old doctor smiled and explained, "It's not that those forces don't come, but this secret realm has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that countless geniuses and prodigies have tried to come here since then, but all have returned empty-handed."

"That's fake."

Li Daoxuan asked.

The old doctor shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. The fact that this secret realm has existed since ancient times without being depleted shows its extraordinary nature!"

"Indeed quite extraordinary." Li Daoxuan nodded in agreement.

"I've heard that Xiao Yu, the Holy Son of the Sword Sect, is exceptionally talented. He broke through to the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm at just forty-one. I wonder if he could offer some guidance?"

Just as Li Daoxuan was discussing the Mountain and River Secret Realm with the old physician, at the barrier, the Demon Prince Mo Yan of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, holding a long scythe, looked at Xiao Yu, the Holy Son of the Sword Sect, with a face full of provocation.

Upon hearing that it was an acquaintance, Li Daoxuan curiously turned around and glanced back.

On the Sword Sect's airship, Xiao Yu stood out expressionlessly, then took out a snow-white immortal sword. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear.

"Flying Snow Sword!"

Li Daoxuan paid no attention to the fight between Xiao Yu and Mo Yan. When Xiao Yu took out the Flying Snow Sword, Li Daoxuan recognized it as one of the eighteen swords on the top of Sword Mountain.

"Did he go up Sword Mountain too?"

To avoid being discovered, Li Daoxuan retreated several miles again, waiting for the secret realm to open.

Meanwhile, at the barrier, the Demon Prince Mo Yan of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the Holy Son Xiao Yu of the Sword Sect had already decided the victor.

Sword Sect's Holy Son, Xiao Yu, had a slight advantage with his Flying Snow Sword.

However, in the exchange of blows, neither side suffered any fatal injuries; they were all minor injuries that could be healed with the help of elixirs.

"Haha, Holy Son, you truly live up to your reputation as a prodigy. I am no match for you."

Demon Prince Mo Yan was also a person of principle. Unlike those idiots who, despite being inferior to others, still uttered arrogant words and incurred hatred, he did not act like one.

Cultivating immortality is not just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

"The Demon Prince is not weak either. If it weren't for the fact that the Flying Snow Sword in my hand is not an ordinary object, I might not be a match for him."

Xiao Yu was right. In terms of raw strength, Xiao Yu was still half a move ahead of Luo Moyan.

Of course, Xiao Yu wasn't afraid that someone would bet on his sword.

Putting aside the fact that he has the backing of the Sword Sect, a first-rate power, the Flying Snow Sword is a sentient immortal sword. Unless a senior with far greater strength severs its connection with the sword, such a master is very wary of the Sword Sect behind him. There are also those who are not afraid of death. The old monsters in seclusion of the Sword Sect will go after those who are courting death.

Although the strongest on the surface is Shangguan Jin Hong, who has the cultivation of the Mahayana stage, there are also old monsters who have been alive since the founding of the Sword Sect. They will only be mobilized when the sect encounters something that it cannot solve.

Almost every major power operates this way, they just all tacitly agree without saying it aloud.

With the sparring match between the Demon Prince of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the Holy Son of the Sword Sect over, many forces returned to their initial recuperation phase, preparing to seize more treasures when entering the Mountain and River Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, those independent cultivators, whether lone wolves or with their own teams, are all waiting for the secret realm to open so that the major powers can enter and then have a taste of the spoils.

Time ticked by, but the Shadow Organization, one of the assassin factions, made its move first.

The Shadow Organization sent a total of ten people, all of whom were powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage, with the leader being a senior who had reached the Mahayana stage.

Then, the leader, a Mahayana cultivator, gave some instructions to those behind him, and the three Tribulation Transcending stage assassins behind him vanished without a trace.

"Hehe, not bad, this concealment technique is impressive!"

At some unknown time, the old doctor appeared beside Li Daoxuan as a phantom visible only to him.

"No, you could come out before."

Li Daoxuan was startled when he saw the old doctor appear beside him.

"Hehe, that's easy."

Suddenly, Li Daoxuan thought of something and asked, "Aren't you afraid those people will discover you?"

The old doctor smiled but didn't say anything.

You must understand that as a quasi-saint, the old physician is only able to be discovered by saints of the same or higher realms. Otherwise, if he doesn't want to be discovered, no one can find him.

Of course, the old doctor wasn't afraid of the saints coming, because saints are very busy, except for a few.

Li Daoxuan didn't take it to heart when the old doctor didn't reply.

"Senior, what do you mean by comparing today's prodigies to those of your time—"

The two chatted idly, waiting for the opening of the Mountain and River Secret Realm.

"Wait, why isn't this 'Secret Realm of Mountains and Rivers' open yet?"

One of the disciples in the Medicine God Valley faction began to complain.

"Oh--"

"With your temperament, I don't know how you even made it onto the list of people entering the secret realm."

A middle-aged man standing nearby scoffed.

"No, Big Crocodile, what did you say? I—"

Such things are also happening with certain forces.

"For some reason, I feel very strange."

Li Daoxuan was the first to sense that something was wrong.

"It seems the secret realm is about to open."

The old doctor disappeared from Li Daoxuan's side and returned to his own little world.

"Everyone, get ready! The Secret Realm of Mountains and Rivers is about to open!!!"

Someone shouted, and all the factions immediately went on high alert to prevent any danger when it was activated.

"Click click click——————"

A rift piercing the heavens and the earth split open from the void, and then a suction force came, sucking in all the cultivators who had obtained the tickets to the Mountain and River Secret Realm.

"The Secret Realm of Mountains and Rivers - Now Open!!!"
