Chapter 603: Prodigies Gather

Xiao Fan entered the main hall of the imperial palace. Looking at the dense, countless young Geniuses surrounding him, he sighed inwardly.

Being able to enter the Secret Realm meant that everyone here was under thirty years old, yet each one possessed astonishingly powerful auras. The weakest among them were at the Xuandan Realm Great Perfection, while the strongest had even reached the Pi Hai Realm.

"The gap is truly too large." Xiao Fan sighed. The strongest divine sons and divine daughters of the younger generation in Wuhuang Province were all inside his spirit beast bag.

Reaching the Xuandan Realm before the age of thirty was considered an incredible feat for a Genius in Wuhuang Province, but compared to Yihuang Province, the gap was indeed vast.

Xiao Fan looked toward Liu Tianyun, who was sitting on the Dragon throne in the center of the main hall. He looked imposing and stern, surveying the crowd while constantly exuding imperial majesty.

When Liu Tianyun's gaze landed on Xiao Fan, he nodded slightly.

On both sides of Liu Tianyun, there were dozens of experts whose auras were equally powerful and restrained!

Judging by their auras, they were on par with Liu Tianyun…

"They are all at the Yuding Realm Great Perfection." Xiao Fan guessed that these must be Elders or clan Elders from some major powers in Yihuang Province.

And the powers and Families behind these people must be even more terrifying!

In the crowd, Xiao Fan also saw Chu Feng.

At this moment, the latter had a cold expression. Being at the Yuanhun Realm Third Layer, he appeared very ordinary in the crowd, belonging to the ranks of the weak.

But Xiao Fan knew that the latter's talent was that of a Prodigy; if given time, Chu Feng would definitely surpass the others.

The group of youths in the main hall had arrogant expressions. The people gathered from various major cities were the most numerous; these people were easy to identify, as they were all standing alone, just like Chu Feng.

As for the people from those major powers, they were in groups, and some even wore uniforms of the same style.

The overall strength of these people from major powers was uneven; the strong ones had even reached the Pi Hai Realm, while the weak ones were only at the Xuandan Realm!

The main hall was very quiet. Although these young Prodigies had arrogant expressions, no one dared to make a sound, looking toward Liu Tianyun on the Dragon throne with respect.

From this, one could see the Dynasty's control over Yihuang Province.

A moment later, it was noon!

Liu Tianyun stood up, looked around, and spoke in a majestic voice: "Everyone, you are all the outstanding talents of the younger generation of our Yihuang Province, and you are the future and hope of our Yihuang Dynasty."

"Therefore, today I have specially bestowed upon you all a great Opportunity!!"

Liu Tianyun's voice was loud and clear, causing the uninformed young Geniuses in the main hall to immediately become excited!

"Today is the day the Yihuang Dynasty royal Secret Realm opens. Within this Secret Realm, the spiritual energy is dense, and Heaven And Earth Treasures are everywhere. After entering, you may search for Opportunities on your own to obtain them!"

"The Secret Realm will be open for three months. During this time, you may all remain within the Secret Realm!"

"And this Secret Realm was created by the ancestors of the Yihuang royal Family. Its purpose is to temper the young talents of Yihuang Province. Entering the Secret Realm is also an assessment for everyone present. Within the Secret Realm, you may slaughter each other at will!"

"The Secret Realm will close after three months. At that time, a divine temple will appear. Only by killing or defeating the others who have entered the Secret Realm, and being among the top ten performers, will you be qualified to enter this divine temple!"

When he said this, the scene erupted in uproar, and everyone was shocked!!

There were twenty thousand people now. If they had to kill each other after entering, did that not mean that only a few of these twenty thousand would survive?

"Everyone, please rest assured. This Secret Realm is a place of tempering specially built by the ancestors of our Yihuang Province. Those who die in the Secret Realm will not truly die!"

"Even if you are killed within the Secret Realm, you will be teleported out after three months and resurrected!" Liu Tianyun emphasized.

Hearing this, those who were uninformed in the hall all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, if you die within the Secret Realm, you will be very weak after being teleported out and will need to recuperate for a period of time… Therefore, in the Secret Realm, if you encounter a situation where you are outmatched, you can admit defeat. As long as you say words like 'admit defeat' or 'surrender', the Secret Realm will automatically expel you!"

Liu Tianyun explained it very meticulously, going over all the situations that might be encountered within the Secret Realm.

Xiao Fan listened very carefully, filtering through what Liu Tianyun had said to him previously to see if there were any loopholes that the other party had not mentioned.

"Finally, the top ten finishers will enter the divine temple. If you complete the assessment of the divine temple, if there is a chance, you can help the royal Family find a divine object named: creation fruit. If you can carry the creation fruit out of the Secret Realm, this King will reward you with an extra great Opportunity!"

At the end, Liu Tianyun brought up the creation fruit to everyone.

He had been yearning for this thing for a long time. This time, he had spared no cost and let the entire younger generation of Yihuang Province enter the Secret Realm; he was really going all out!

He had also mentioned the divine object, the creation fruit, to the Geniuses and Prodigies who had entered in the past, but after these people entered the divine temple, most of them could not complete the temple's assessment and were eventually forcibly expelled by the divine temple.

Or they completed the assessment but could not gain the recognition of the divine temple and were not worthy of being gifted the creation fruit.

According to the ancestors, the origin of this divine temple is mysterious, and it only looks at talent!

That is why Liu Tianyun attached such importance to Xiao Fan and even specially met with him.

Hearing about the creation fruit, this group of young Geniuses and Prodigies in the main hall looked at each other, appearing as if they had never heard of such a divine object.

Only the experts on both sides of Liu Tianyun had strange expressions, as if they had thought of something.

Liu Tianyun's expression remained unchanged and stern. He extended his right hand, forced out a drop of his own Essence Blood, and then dropped it onto the ground…

After a loud "Boom" sound, a golden curtain appeared out of thin air in front of Liu Tianyun.

"Everyone, enter!"
