As the minutes and seconds approached, Chen Yuan was also carefully sizing up everything in front of him, guessing where the so-called Holy Pond would eventually appear.
At least for now, it seemed calm and tranquil to him.
Just as Chen Yuan’s thoughts began to wander and speculate, suddenly, funeral music came from afar, and in the void, someone flew, scattering white paper money, led by a middle-aged man in a black Martial Arts robe at the forefront.
He emanated a powerful aura of a Grandmaster.
"Brother Chen, this person is Tang Xianzhuo, the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect," Shangguan Yu whispered to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan nodded, his gaze fixed on Tang Xianzhuo, and he subconsciously activated his Heavenly Eye Pupil Skill, then...
He saw a very familiar Qi Fortune radiating from Tang Xianzhuo!
Suddenly, a light shone in front of Chen Yuan’s eyes; there it was again, and it had arrived urgently. He still did not know the true identity of the ugly man he had previously slain.
And whether this man was involved with him.
However, regardless of their association, today... this man must not be left behind.
The best outcome, of course, would be to turn him into his nourishment.
Tang Xianzhuo floated in the air, his lips curling into a cold smile as he looked at nearly twenty Dan Realm Masters in front of him. These people were nearly enough, as long as he could lead them into the Illusion Realm for the son of Lingtian.
After that, he could await his wife’s resurrection.
One step at a time, he stepped from the void onto the platform, facing nearly twenty Dan Realm Masters plus dozens of Reach Profound experts and even more Gang Condensing Martial Artists, and he bowed, saying:
"My wife’s third-year memorial; I’m deeply grateful that you all could come. Please allow me a moment to bow in gratitude!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply in front of the crowd.
The people below responded courteously, bowing back:
"The bond between Brother Tang and your beloved wife is widely acclaimed in Shuzhou. It’s only right to come here for the memorial today; I hope Brother Tang doesn’t succumb to excessive sorrow."
"Jiangdu cannot do without Sect Leader Tang’s guidance."
"That’s right, I...."
Murmurs voiced by the crowd filled the air.
Chen Yuan then turned to Shangguan Yu and transmitted a reminder:
"There might be some issues later; it’s best for Brother Shangguan to stay his hand lest there be danger."
"Eh...what do you mean, Brother Chen? Do you perhaps know some secret?" Shangguan Yu’s face went from shock to extreme solemnity.
He trusted Chen Yuan, knowing well that his character would not allow him to speak thoughtlessly.
Yet he was curious, could there be something amiss with this very ordinary three-year memorial?
"Indeed, I know some insider details. Do not spread the word; just remember what I’ve told you," Chen Yuan said in a grave tone.
Given his relationship with Shangguan Yu, he truly did not wish for him to be endangered in this.
After all, he had only just reached the Void Core.
When it came to strength, most of the people here were far superior to him.
It’s fine to watch the excitement, but competing seriously was hardly worthwhile.
"I understand now, thank you for the advice, Brother Chen."
He wasn’t ignorant of propriety and knowing Chen Yuan’s character well, since he mentioned there would be problems, there would definitely be issues. Since the time of the Immortal Battle, when Chen Yuan had killed Gu He just to vent his anger for him,
he had unconditionally trusted Chen Yuan.
Tang Xianzhuo, with an expression of gratitude, bowed and acknowledged the thanks. Then he turned around, took out a portrait, and on it was a gentle woman dressed in a red long dress,
his eyes flashed with infatuation; he then waved his hand, and an invisible wave of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy lifted and unfolded the portrait.
He solemnly muttered some quiet incantations.
The Tang Sect disciples nearby immediately kneeled towards the portrait, chanting in unison:
"Greetings to the Mother of the Sect Leader!"
"Greetings to the Mother of the Sect Leader!"
Chen Yuan looked up into the void; at this moment, the sun Above the Nine Heavens had reached its zenith.
Tang Xianzhuo made Sealing Techniques with his hands and then pressed down very discreetly.
The next moment, the Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Energy around changed abruptly, becoming much denser, and this change was immediately noticed by those Dan Realm Masters, who exclaimed:
"A surge of Primordial Energy? Could the ritual involve such techniques?"
"Everyone, could it be that we’ve coincidentally encountered the opening of a Secret Realm?" one person whispered.
While people were buzzing with speculation, Shangguan Yu suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Yuan, a look of ’just as expected’ flashing through his eyes.
He couldn’t help but admire how Chen Yuan was indeed insightful beyond his capabilities...
The changes in the void continued. A divine golden light descended from Above the Nine Heavens, perfectly connecting with the Dujiangyan below. Follow current novels on NoveI~Fire.net
At that moment, the turbulent waters of the Min River also spawned a Water Dragon twirling into the sky.
Suddenly, the golden beam and the Water Dragon merged, forming a gateway!
Tang Xianzhuo stepped forward and said to the crowd:
"To be frank with you all, today is not only the third great memorial of my wife but also the day a Secret Realm opens. The reason Tang chose the location over the Min River
was actually for this Secret Realm."
"I am not a selfish man; I am willing to discovery with all my fellow cultivators. Of course, there might be some dangers inside, which we should face together,
what do you all think?"
"Sect Leader Tang is magnanimous, willing to share the news of the Secret Realm even allowing us a share. No need to say more, in the future, I will certainly look to Brother Tang for guidance."
