Another seven days passed, in Lingxi City, an old man wearing a rain cape and bamboo hat flew to the outskirts of Lingxi City, swallowed a pill into his mouth, and then, his divine sense seemed to undergo some kind of change, allowing him to sense the location of a certain special aura.
“Lin Xiao is indeed in Lingxi City!” Joy appeared on the face of the old man wearing the rain cape and bamboo hat, he flew down to the ground and walked towards the city gate.
This old man was none other than Shangguan Xiong.
After paying the entry fee, Shangguan Xiong quickly entered the city, following the direction of the aura sensed by his divine sense, he strode forward.
In no time at all, Shangguan Xiong followed that special aura to the outside of the Seclusion Inn.
Seeing the three words Seclusion Inn, Shangguan Xiong’s brows furrowed slightly: “Lin Xiao has actually checked into the Seclusion Inn.”
He had naturally heard of the background of the Seclusion Inn.
Even if there was an opportunity inside the Seclusion Inn, he would not dare to make a move.
And at this moment, seeing Zou Yun and a group of youths walking out from the Seclusion Inn, Shangguan Xiong’s brows furrowed again: “Disciples of the Spirit Phoenix Valley have also come, it seems I need to be more cautious.”
Having made a decision in his heart, Shangguan Xiong quietly left the Seclusion Inn and blended into the crowd.
Inside the Seclusion Inn, Lin Xiao was completely unaware of the outside matters and continued his seclusion.
Until another five days had passed, a powerful aura emanated from Lin Xiao’s body, and only then did Lin Xiao open his eyes.
“Finally, the breakthrough succeeded.” Lin Xiao let out a long breath.
After breaking through to the seventh level of Martial Monarch, outside his dantian, seven layers had already turned into chaos, boundless power surging and surging within the chaotic dantian.
Lin Xiao had already felt that his power had greatly increased once more.
“The primal power of the sixth level Martial Monarch could contend against the third level Martial Emperor, the seventh level Martial Monarch is sufficient to contend against the fourth level Martial Emperor, plus spiritual power, defeating a fourth level Martial Emperor realm expert should not be a problem.” Confidence appeared on Lin Xiao’s face, he estimated in his heart.
“I have been in seclusion for half a month, I wonder if that secret realm has opened yet?”
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao stood up, ordered the Purple Corpse Puppet to restrain its aura, flicked his hand, and stored the Purple Corpse Puppet back into the storage ring.
Then, he stepped out and walked towards the outside of the inn.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Lin Xiao saw that on one side of the horizon outside Lingxi City, there were densely packed figures standing, from time to time, there were also people flying over from various places in all directions towards there.
And in front of those figures, there was a glow spanning over ten li, as if some crack was about to split open.
“The secret realm is about to open!” Lin Xiao’s gaze tightened, he quickly walked out of the Seclusion Inn, without bothering to check out, as soon as he left the inn, he directly dashed violently towards that side of the horizon, extremely fast.
“How is that possible, how can his speed be so fast?”
At this time, the few people who had seen Lin Xiao buying the Yin Lie Snow Weasel spirit core at the Nanyuan Merchant Association last time and had come to stake out, all stared dumbfounded.
Their strength was not too strong, they were not in a hurry to rush into the secret realm at the first moment, originally they wanted to slaughter Lin Xiao this fat sheep, planning to follow Lin Xiao and make a move when leaving the city.
Who would have expected that Lin Xiao’s speed would be so fast, with such speed, even if they wanted to follow, they could not catch up all at once.
Unless Lin Xiao stopped by himself.
But by the time Lin Xiao stopped, he would probably have already reached the outskirts of the secret realm.
At that time, if they made a move, they would definitely attract the attention of others.
Especially the people of the Spirit Phoenix Valley.
“No wonder he dared to challenge Zou Yun, it turns out his strength is not weak! We all underestimated him, this fat sheep is really not easy to slaughter.” One youth said.
“We wasted these few days staking out for nothing!” Another youth said gloomily.
“We can only see if there is an opportunity after entering the secret realm, but let alone whether we can encounter him after entering the secret realm, even if we do, we probably are not his opponents, unless he only used some kind of secret technique or martial skill to accelerate his speed.” Another youth also said, evidently not holding much hope.
“There probably is no opportunity, he is rushing up now, once discovered by Zou Yun, he will become a dead man.” The first youth who spoke said.
The few people agreed, all let out a breath of frustration, and then, all swept out, flying towards the outside of Lingxi City.
Outside Lingxi City.
In no time at all, Lin Xiao flew to a place hundreds of li to the left direction of Lingxi City, in front of the glow in that void.
At this time, a large number of people had already gathered here, there were youths and also old men, those old men all had an attitude of watching.
In the crowd of youths, most also had an attitude of observing, just with a bit more hot-blooded fervour in their chests than those old men.
There were also dozens to over a hundred youths who had reached the Martial Monarch realm, aged twenty to twenty-five, each with an eager to try appearance, itching to rush into the secret realm immediately.
“Over a hundred youths aged twenty to twenty-five who are Martial Monarchs, this number is over ten times more than in the Southeast Domain, and this is merely the tip of the iceberg in Yangzhou alone, it is hard to imagine how many such geniuses there would be on the entire Central Continent.” Lin Xiao could not help but sigh in his heart.
Compared to the Central Continent, the Southeast Domain was truly far too inferior.
“This time, the number of people preparing to enter the secret realm is quite a bit more than the previous session, this region is becoming increasingly prosperous.”
“The predecessors continuously accumulated, and without too large a war erupting, the overall strength naturally becomes stronger and stronger.”
“I remember the last time, among those entering the secret realm in this age group, the highest cultivation of the Four Valleys youths was still only at the seventh or eighth level Martial Monarch realm strength, the Spirit Phoenix Valley also only had sixth-grade intermediate spirit controllers, this time, it is clearly much stronger.”
“Yu Huairu, Zou Yun, Zhang Shi, Mo Yufeng, they are indeed far stronger than the same generation in this region, however, after all, they come from the Four Valleys, having such talent is quite normal.”
“The ones who gain the greatest benefits from the secret realm every session are the people from the Four Valleys.”
“That is not necessarily true, in the previous session, it is said that the benefits obtained by Nan Muling might have been the greatest, Nan Muling’s current strength is certainly no less than those four strongest from the Four Valleys.”
Waves of discussion voices rose up everywhere, the entire scene was filled with continuous sounds.
“Eh, until now, we still have not seen Nan Muling’s figure, nor the city lord, could it be, as the rumours say, that Nan Muling’s bone age exceeds twenty-five?”
“The city lord’s mansion announced that Nan Muling is in seclusion, with the city lord personally guarding, I wonder if it is true.”
“Knowing that the secret realm is about to open, Nan Muling would not possibly choose to seclude at this time, so to speak, there are only two possibilities, first, Nan Muling’s bone age really exceeds twenty-five, second, Nan Muling has long stepped into the Martial Emperor realm and cannot enter the secret realm anymore.”
“Indeed so, if it is the second situation, this Nan Muling is too terrifying, at the age of twenty-five becoming a Martial Emperor powerhouse, in the future, who knows how far she can go.”
“Probably the first possibility is greater, after all, the city lord’s mansion unlike forces like the Four Valleys does not have such vast resources, I heard someone say that Nan Muling’s physique is somewhat special, even powerful experts cannot probe her exact age.”
“That rumour may not necessarily be true, I also heard that Nan Muling’s age is about to reach twenty-five recently, possibly only exceeding by a few days, therefore, many people are uncertain if Nan Muling can enter.”
“If so, that would be too regrettable!”
From the cacophony of voices, Lin Xiao heard many people discussing Nan Muling, he could not help but be surprised, this Nan Muling’s fame was actually so great, receiving so much attention from people?
Of course, the people discussing the Four Valleys youths were also not few.
At this time, Lin Xiao’s gaze also turned towards the Four Valleys youths, only to see Zou Yun and Yu Huairu and others standing in the central position of the glow, each of the Four Valleys had several disciples, standing not far from each other.
The teams of the Four Valleys seemed to be eyeing each other warily.
And just at this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly saw that Zou Yun’s gaze swept back around the surroundings, and finally, it immediately swept towards him.
