Chapter 955: Immortal Secret Realm
Chen Guan watched the happenings at the foot of the Immortal Mountain from the clouds in the sky, feeling very satisfied.Aside from Bai Xiuyan and Jin Taohua, whom he specifically invited, everyone else climbed the mountain of their own accord.
What Chen Guan didn’t expect was that Duan Shulin could also pass the test.
It’s not that he underestimated Duan Shulin’s talent and ability; in fact, those who can comprehend the Absolute Secret State must have good talent and ability.
Even Jiang Qiemo had said that Duan Shulin’s talent was not inferior to his own, but because Duan Shulin was not fond of cultivation, it seemed as if his strength was less than that of Jiang Qiemo and others.
Originally, Chen Guan thought of finding an opportunity to recruit Duan Shulin into the Immortal Mountain Sect, but now there was no need for such trouble.
The primordial energy of the Immortal Mountain Sect was about to deplete, making it useless for Chen Guan, but that’s because Chen Guan required an immense amount of energy.
Even the energy needed for their cultivation, even if it was to advance to the tenth sense, was just a drop in the bucket for Chen Guan.
Getting a few hundred or even a thousand people into the Immortal Mountain Sect to advance to the tenth sense wouldn’t be a problem.
However, if so many people wanted to cultivate to the hundredth level, the primordial energy of the Immortal Mountain Sect would certainly not be enough.
Chen Guan didn’t have that much energy for them, considering even his own energy was insufficient.
Fortunately, once they advanced to the tenth sense, they could return to the Great Cave Heaven to cultivate. Although the quality of energy there was somewhat inferior, there was no need to worry about depletion.
Moreover, the energy required for their upgrade was relatively small, and with enough time, they could still advance.
Chen Guan required such a large amount that he had no choice but to upgrade within the Celestial Secret Realm.
Most of the formidable figures who left their names on the Name Rock were from the Ten Great Families. When no one else stood out, a total of more than thirty people left their names on the Name Rock, of which nearly twenty were from the Ten Great Families.
The Zhang Family had the most people, with Zhang Chunxiang being invited in. Besides Zhang Chunxiang, Zhang Chunman, Zhang Huacai, and Zhang Lianxiang left their names on the Name Rock and ascended the mountain by their own abilities.
The Gong Family had the fewest people climbing the mountain, with only one person leaving their name on the Name Rock, surprisingly Gong Mingwang, whom Chen Guan had interacted with once before.
Even the Gong Family was surprised that Gong Mingwang could leave his name on it. In recent years, Gong Mingwang had been somewhat marginalized by the Gong Family; his ideas did not align with the mainstream thoughts of the family head, and he gradually drifted away from the family’s core class.
No one expected that something even Gong Zizai couldn’t accomplish was achieved by Gong Mingwang.
Chen Guan initially did not plan to let the Gong Family’s people in. He thought that even if he invited them, the Gong Family wouldn’t dare come, but unexpectedly, Gong Mingwang dared to climb the mountain.
Chen Guan merely raised an eyebrow and did not drive Gong Mingwang down the mountain.
The Gong Family had grudges with both him and Jin Taohua. If not for Jin Taohua wanting revenge personally, Chen Guan’s current power was already enough to topple the Gong Family.
"Let Taohua handle the grievances with the Gong Family herself." Chen Guan thought, turning and moving to the palace at the mountain top.
The palace at the mountain top was recently constructed, used as a portal to connect the space ring and the Immortal Mountain Sect’s space.
This required the mystical beads. Chen Guan took out three mystical beads: one to connect the palace with the space ring, the second to connect the Book Hall with the Grotto Heaven, and the third to connect the Grotto Heaven to a palace within the Immortal Mountain Sect.
In this way, they would feel as if they were merely walking into a palace and then arriving inside the Immortal Mountain Sect’s palace, without seeing the existence of the space ring, the Book Hall, or the Grotto Heaven, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
"Everyone is here now, please follow me into the Immortal Mountain." Miao Shan led the group of over forty people gathered in front of the mountain-top palace inside.
Everyone felt somewhat anxious in their hearts because they couldn’t be completely sure if the Great Demon was Chen Guan or Zi Donglai.
Even if it was them, there were families within the group who had unpleasant ties with Chen Guan and Zi Donglai.
Bai Xiuyan and Jin Taohua, although aware of the inner workings, had never been here, so they were also curious about what kind of place it was.
Miao Shan led the group through the palace and emerged from a portal on the other side.
As they stepped outside the palace, their eyes were immediately drawn to the scene before them, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of disbelief and wonder.
Numerous immortal mountains towered above, veiled in clouds and mist, with pure primordial energy thick enough to transform into fog, some even into clouds.
From a distant immortal mountain, a waterfall cascaded from the sky like a silver dragon suspended in the air.
Feeling the energy fluctuations from the waterfall, someone couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, "That is... that is liquid elemental energy..."
Even the talented strong individuals from the Ten Great Families felt a stirring in their hearts, their eyes filled with shock.
Such a celestial sanctuary truly lived up to the name of Immortal Mountain, and the energy concentration alone was enough to astonish the entire Divine Land.
The liquid elemental energy present here was an unimaginable existence; compared to the liquid elemental energy produced by the Ten Great Families, it was like comparing a pond to a river.
"He actually possesses such an Immortal Secret Realm!" Everyone was in awe.
They didn’t know that previously, the primordial energy here was so vast it blotted out the sky, with countless liquid elemental energy waterfalls a hundred, a thousand times more magnificent than this one; only this one remained, with others already depleted.
For Chen Guan, the Immortal Mountain Sect was a place of depleted resources, but for them, it was a celestial sanctuary.
Ji Fenglie sneered at the sight of these people’s awe, internally dismissing them as "a group of ignorant bumpkins."
He almost forgot his own awe when he first visited here with Grand Saint; at that time, he wasn’t much different from these people.
Of course, now Ji Fenglie has used the primordial energy here to advance to the tenth sense, feeling that the young ones before him were not up to par.
Under the sole liquid elemental energy waterfall, a deep pool had formed, with many lotus flowers blooming within.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Immortal Mountain. We have nothing special to offer, so please enjoy a cup of clear water." Chen Guan’s voice resonated from inside the palace.
The crowd looked over and saw Chen Guan, clad in black armor like a demon king, sitting on the throne in the palace hall.
As Chen Guan spoke, Ji Fenglie approached with a tray, offering jade cups filled with clear water.
Seeing Ji Fenglie, a notorious figure, delivering the water made most people feel apprehensive.
However, their eyes were fixated on the cups, as they already sensed that the water within was liquid elemental energy.
Jiang Qiemo was the first to pick up a cup and drink it in one go, and a stream of pure energy immediately emanated from his body; even the breath exhaled through his pores turned into pure elemental energy.
Witnessing this, everyone no longer hesitated, eagerly picking up their cups and drinking the water, allowing the pure, majestic primordial energy to cleanse them like holy water, with many advancing on the spot.
