Chapter 1349: Two Years, The Passage Opens

However, on second thought, Xiao Fan felt he was overthinking things.

The Peacock Clan was not weak in Tianshen Prefecture…

The Peacock Ancestor was even a peerless powerhouse of the Shie Realm.

Xiao Fan planned to see if he could ask others inside the Secret Realm if they knew why Lan Zhanque hadn't come.

Among the countless Prodigies of past generations…

Xiao Fan also saw some races he hadn't seen before.

The powerhouses of these races exuded very powerful auras.

Some even had the appearance of middle-aged men.

However, Xiao Fan was somewhat surprised… the highest aura he detected here was only at the Jiesheng Realm Great Perfection; he didn't sense any powerhouses of the Shie Realm.

"That shouldn't be…"

Xiao Fan muttered.

Had none of the Prodigies from the previous prodigy rankings ever advanced to the Shie Realm?

This shouldn't be the case… definitely shouldn't.

But currently, there truly were no Shie Realm powerhouses nearby.

Just then…

In front of the waterfall, a phantom figure gradually appeared.

"Everyone… you have come from afar, and this old man has been remiss in his duties."

A white-haired old man smiled faintly.

The person who appeared was none other than Daoist Wuji.

He had a kind face and a calm expression, invisibly giving off a sense of approachability.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Immediately, someone bowed to Daoist Wuji.

They bowed even if they didn't know his identity.

No one from the Tianji Sect was ordinary…

Xiao Fan also bowed to Daoist Wuji.

Daoist Wuji had saved his life, so he was well-deserving of a bow!

"Hehe… I suppose most of you don't know my identity… I am the Old Ancestor of the Tianji Sect; you may call me Daoist Wuji…"

Daoist Wuji spoke slowly, scanning his surroundings.

Hearing Daoist Wuji's words… the scene erupted into an uproar, everyone's expressions filled with shock.

Clearly, no one expected that the old man before them would be the Old Ancestor of the Tianji Sect…

"Greetings, Senior!!"

Immediately, everyone bowed deeply, their attitudes extremely respectful.

"No need for such formalities…"

Daoist Wuji said slowly, "The Tianji Sect Secret Realm is about to open… I imagine some of you might be surprised why the Tianji Sect possesses the Opportunity to advance to the Zhanming Realm… but I'm sorry… I cannot tell you about this for the time being… However, rest assured that once the Secret Realm concludes, regardless of whether any of you obtain the Opportunity… I will reveal everything you wish to know."

Countless people on the scene offered compliments one after another…

Even these usually haughty favored children of heaven didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the old man.

Xiao Fan realized… he understood what the old man meant.

He planned to reveal the matter regarding the Ten Thousand Year Great Calamity after the Secret Realm ended.

"This Secret Realm contains countless opportunities… you can obtain them yourselves inside… Of course, the dangers within are also infinite… you might even encounter the remnant spirits of powerhouses from past generations who will obstruct you…"

"remnant spirits of powerhouses from past generations?!"

Hearing the old man's words, countless people voiced their surprise and doubt.

Even Xiao Fan was surprised, curious about what these remnant spirits of past powerhouses were.

Could they be the powerhouses of past generations who died on the Nine States?

"Hehehe… once you enter, you will understand…" Daoist Wuji chuckled faintly, leaving them in suspense.

Although these Prodigies were the hope of the Nine States.

But if they couldn't obtain the Opportunity to mend the Power of Laws of the Nine States, when the Great Calamity arrived, they would still be at the mercy of others…

"Very well… the Secret Realm will be open for two years… during these two years, find a way to survive and face your own challenges…" As Daoist Wuji finished speaking, he waved his large hand!

The vast, boundless waterfall was torn from the sky, revealing a pitch-black passage that looked like an infinite abyss.

"Enter the passage… walk to the end, and that will be the Secret Realm…"

Daoist Wuji dropped his previous gentleness and said solemnly, "I hope… you can all return alive."

Everyone could hear the danger of this Secret Realm from Daoist Wuji's words…

Previously, there was the Human Sovereign's Millennium Secret Realm.

That was a trial ground prepared by the Human Sovereign for the descendants of the Nine States.

But this Secret Realm was different…

This was the final hope left for the Nine States by the Human Sovereign before he died in battle!!

Everyone rushed out one after another, entering the pitch-black passage.

Yun Lou, Mo Xingyuan, Red Spirit Dragon, Yi Tuo, and others also set off.

The Red Demoness looked around, her face full of disappointment, before she also took flight and entered the passage.

Xiao Fan let out a breath and then he too set off… heading into the passage.
