During the assessnt for Foundation Establishnt, he only took fifteen days, while Chen Yuan persisted for an entire month.
Indeed, he made him wait for half a month.
But that was good.
Chen Yuan being able to joke at least showed that he had sowhat moved on from the incident with Senior Sister Ling.
Xiao Xuanzhen curled her lips and said, “I, on the other hand, waited for over twenty days.”
Chen Yi glanced at her and dismissively said, “My apologies for the trouble, Senior Sister.”
“…”
Xiao Xuanzhen’s eyebrows instantly shot up, nearly driven to a rage by those seemingly indifferent words.
Hua Xianzi hurriedly grabbed her arm, stepping in front of her and said, “Brother Yi, you must have gained quite a lot this ti?”
Chen Yi nodded and said, “My cultivation has made so progress.”
“Is it just ‘so progress’?” Wei Jinyu said with a hint of sourness, “Thirty-six Spiritual Acupoint Vortices, it’s quite rare since ancient tis.”
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, aware that others had seen the increase in his Spiritual Acupoints, and then changed the subject to ask:
“What’s the current situation?”
Wei Jinyu read the mood and closed her mouth, standing silently behind Chen Yuan and looking at them.
Neither Xiao Xuanzhen nor Hua Xianzi spoke.
Chen Yuan scanned the group and said, “Let’s walk and talk. The secret realm is about to open, and they all have rushed in the direction of the Rising Dragon Platform.”
“Alright.”
The five people left the Dragon Transformation Pond and heard a loud ‘clang’ as the palace slamd shut.
Chen Yi looked back, glancing towards the sky.
Although there was nothing there, he knew that the closing of the Dragon Transformation Pond should be the doing of that mysterious presence.
“Xie Dongan and the others finished their seclusion ten days ago, their cultivation has indeed made progress.”
Chen Yuan only glanced before he said, “After that, they went to other secret realms individually to see if they could find so rare resources.”
“However, this secret realm in the Eastern Emperor Palace is indeed peculiar. Places like Book Storage Tower and Dragon Transformation Pond are alright, but the rest are fraught with danger.”
“So days ago, Gongye Shou ca once, he ntioned that quite a few people died within the secret realm.”
Chen Yi frowned slightly, deeming such actions as too costly.
He rembered discussing with Xie Dongan and Gongye Shou how to respond to external changes before entering the Dragon Transformation Pond, specifically ntioning this.
One should seek stability within the secret realm; it’s good enough to have so improvent in strength.
Seeing the expression on his face, Chen Yuan flipped his silver hair and said, “For money, people will push themselves to the brink of death.”
“Xie Dongan and Gongye Shou have warned them, but to little effect.”
“After all, those in the Dragon Transformation Pond didn’t gain much, and it’s natural for them to seek further advancent.”
Despite saying this, Chen Yi’s outlook on the external situation was grim.
Even though his strength had improved since entering the secret realm, he still wasn’t confident he could protect everyone.
“As for the rest, you’ll understand once we get there.”
“Alright.”
With no further conversation, Chen Yi and the others quickly arrived at the place closest to the Rising Dragon Platform.
The place was already crowded with people, including Xie Dongan, Gongye Shou, and others, as well as Chu Ming and other noble family’s descendants.
At the sa ti, Chen Yi also noticed that so people were missing.
For instance, of the four from Chu Family who ca, only Chu Ming, Chu Waner, and Chu Chen remained.
Of the people from Wuliang Mountain, only one stayed, plus Chen Yuan, the Absolute Blade Inheritor, making just two.
Other Sect Disciples and noble family’s descendants also suffered casualties.
Chen Yi looked around and understood the intention behind Chen Yuan’s earlier words.
“Two in the Divine Travel Realm, eight in the Heavenly Union Realm, forty-three in the Spirit Aperture Realm, more than fifty people altogether…”
Comparing to nearly two hundred people who entered the secret realm at the start, a staggering seventy percent had been lost.
Though there had been casualties, those who appeared here had strengths above the middle stage of fourth-rank.
And like Gongye Shou, Yuan Dingshan, Jiang Ye, these extraordinary Heavenly Prides, were now, like Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi, with cultivation that had already broken through to the Third Grade Heavenly Union Realm.
Chen Yi could faintly sense the fluctuation of True Yuan and the might of heaven and earth converging around their bodies.
Chen Yi took a breath to calm his mind.
Upon seeing him, Gongye Shou imdiately said, “Brother Yi, tomorrow is the day the secret realm opens, you…”
Chen Yi interrupted, “According to the previous plan, I’ll head out first.”
After arriving here, aside from sensing that everyone’s strength had increased, he also felt a slight tension in the atmosphere.
Presumably, Xie Dongan had spoken out his deductions about changes in the outside world, causing them all so concern.
Fifteenth Prince Wei Nantian chid in, “Then Dong An and I will follow afterwards.”
Xie Dongan nodded and actually took out a simple map from his chest, spreading it out in front of everyone and saying:
“This is the result of my calculations these past days.”
“Look here, this is the location of the secret realm. When we leave, we should appear in the sa location as when we entered, here.”
“Based on my prediction, there are two likely scenarios.”
“The best one would be if the Sect Elders arrive in ti, encasing a thousand li with Array, allowing for both offensive and defensive options.”
“The worst would be if the Southern Barbarian Sect, Bai Shen Sect, and demons all strike at the sa ti, sealing us off without a way out.”
“And I’m more inclined towards the latter!”
Having said that, Xie Dongan paused and turned the map over, pointing to the North corner:
“Here lies South-Garrison Pass. If I were the planner of this operation, I’d ensure it to be linked with the south.”
“The Northern Demon Court presses the boundary without attacking, while the Southern Barbarian Sect assaults South-Garrison Pass.”
“At the sa ti, the demons, Bai Shen Sect, and the barbarians form a three-way siege, with their supre forces encircling outside Dragon Heart Lake…”
As they listened to Xie Dongan, Chen Yi and the others frowned.
A siege by supre forces?
Those six simple words made them all understand—
