Chapter 416: The Opening of the Chaos Secret Realm
Lan Xiaobu had always held a favorable impression of Wu Qiancheng.
As an Immortal Court King, Wu Qiancheng had his own principles and was a man of integrity.
Compared to individuals like Shen Sen and Bai Xun, Lan Xiaobu felt that Wu Qiancheng truly embodied the responsibility and dignity befitting an Immortal Court King.
"Moon Spirit Emperor, please speak," Lan Xiaobu replied with a respectful bow.
Wu Qiancheng then clasped his hands in greeting to the other Immortal Court Kings present.
"Fellow Immortal Court Kings, this calamity can be considered an unforeseen disaster for our immortal realm. If not for the Five Universe King, Lan Xiaobu, I believe we would not be standing here so peacefully, awaiting the opening of the Chaos Secret Realm. At this moment, we might still be wary of those around us."
No one disagreed with his words.
Indeed, without Lan Xiaobu, it was unlikely that over a hundred Immortal Court Kings would be standing here.
At best, only half of them might have made it, and most of the others would likely have been killed.
The Chaos Secret Realm contained the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk, which could ensure the survival of an immortal domain, as well as various treasures surpassing even the highest-grade immortal spirit herbs.
There was even the legacy of the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor.
Naturally, no one would willingly give these things up, and it was inevitable that a fierce struggle would ensue.
How would this struggle play out? Just think back to the battles among the Immortal Kings for the entry slots.
Lan Xiaobu's arrival had suppressed the two most ruthless domains, Qingfang Immortal Domain and Weixing Immortal Domain, forcing everyone to abide by the rules.
Even on the Void Stone, each domain had been allocated a piece of territory.
Most remarkably, Lan Xiaobu had not bullied any domain, regardless of their strength.
Despite his deep enmity with Qingfang Immortal Domain, he had still allocated them a portion of the Void Stone.
This magnanimity had won the admiration of many.
Everyone understood that this did not mean Lan Xiaobu was compromising.
Instead, it showed that he did not want Qingfang Immortal Domain to lose its chance of survival due to the arrogance of its Immortal Court King.
Wu Qiancheng continued, "The Chaos Secret Realm is about to open. The most sought-after treasure within is the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk. This disk consists of a Heavenly Pivot Formation Base and thirty-six Heavenly Pivot Formation Flags. In theory, as long as the thirty-six flags are deployed, the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk can form a Heavenly Pivot Star Formation. This formation can protect the thirty-six domains that possess the flags when the calamity arrives..."
The Void Stone fell silent, as everyone was deeply concerned about this matter.
"However, the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk and the thirty-six Heavenly Pivot Formation Flags are likely to be found together. Therefore, it is possible that they will be obtained by a single individual."
Wu Qiancheng's words were met with agreement from Lan Xiaobu and all the other Immortal Court Kings.
This was indeed a matter of great concern.
What if the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk was obtained by one person?
Wu Qiancheng spoke with utmost sincerity, "I hope that whoever obtains the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk will not hide it away, as it represents the last hope for our immortal realm. The person who obtains the disk may keep one flag, but the remaining thirty-five flags should be distributed among thirty-five other domains. This way, thirty-six domains can survive, rather than just one."
"I agree with the Moon Spirit Emperor's words," Lan Xiaobu was the first to voice his support.
"Yes, we agree," almost all the Immortal Court Kings echoed in unison.
Wu Qiancheng then proposed, "Since everyone agrees, I suggest that after the Chaos Secret Realm closes, we remain on the Void Stone to distribute the Heavenly Pivot Formation Flags. As this event was organized by the Five Universe King, I believe the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk should also be entrusted to him to oversee the distribution."
This proposal also received the approval of most Immortal Court Kings, though whether they truly agreed in their hearts was another matter.
Perhaps they would agree if someone else obtained the disk, but if their own domain's Immortal King secured it, they would naturally prioritize their own domain.
Wu Qiancheng raised his hands and said, "My final hope is that after the thirty-six Heavenly Pivot Formation Flags are distributed, the domains that do not receive a flag can relocate to one of these thirty-six domains."
"I agree," Lan Xiaobu said.
This had been his idea all along, though without obtaining the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk, his words carried little weight.
Allowing people from other domains to reside in one's own domain meant sharing cultivation resources, something most would not agree to.
However, Lan Xiaobu did not mind.
The Five Universe Immortal Realm had been recently re-formed, and its population of cultivators was already sparse.
With the added devastation caused by the Nightmare Demons, the number of cultivators had dwindled further.
Even if more people from other domains came to the Five Universe Immortal Realm, Lan Xiaobu would not object.
At this moment, the spatial fluctuations at the edge of the Void Stone grew increasingly intense, eventually forming a massive vortex.
Lan Xiaobu stepped forward and announced, "The Void Island has opened. Once I finish speaking, you may enter. Passing through this vortex will take you to the Void Island, which is the Chaos Secret Realm we have all been waiting to enter. As everyone knows, the Chaos Secret Realm will remain open for ten years. From the moment you enter, ten years later, you will all be teleported back to the Void Stone. Anything obtained within the Chaos Secret Realm belongs to the one who finds it, with the exception of the Heavenly Pivot Formation Flags, as they represent the hope of our immortal realm. If someone obtains the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk..."
Before Lan Xiaobu could finish, an Immortal King rushed toward the entrance of the Void Island.
Who did this Five Universe King think he was, acting as if he had the authority to lecture others just because he controlled the Void Formation on the Void Stone? The earlier one entered the Chaos Secret Realm, the more treasures they could obtain.
Who had time to listen to his ramblings?
Seeing someone take the lead, others quickly followed, eager to rush in.
Boom! The Immortal King who had rushed forward collided with an invisible barrier and was sent flying back, landing heavily on the ground, severely injured.
The other cultivators who had been about to charge toward the entrance immediately halted, realizing they had narrowly avoided the same fate.
Lan Xiaobu looked at the injured Immortal King with a mocking expression.
With such impatience, did he really think he could obtain the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk?
Seeing Lan Xiaobu's disdainful gaze, an Immortal Court King stepped forward and said, "Quan Bin, you will give your entry slot to someone else. You are not fit to enter the Chaos Secret Realm."
"I..."
The Immortal King started to speak but, upon seeing the murderous intent in the Immortal Court King's eyes, quickly and obediently handed over his entry talisman.
For an Immortal King, the opportunity to enter the Chaos Secret Realm was a chance to defy fate, but he had squandered it.
No one dared to rush forward now.
Lan Xiaobu continued, "If someone obtains the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk, I hope they will follow the Moon Spirit Emperor's suggestion and keep one flag for themselves while distributing the remaining thirty-five to other domains. Of course, after the calamity, these thirty-five domains must return the flags to the original owner. Now, you may enter the Chaos Secret Realm. Hold your entry talismans and charge into the vortex."
As soon as Lan Xiaobu finished speaking, several Immortal Kings dashed toward the entrance of the Void Island.
This time, there were no issues.
The Immortal Kings who rushed in disappeared without a trace.
As more and more Immortal Kings entered, a problem soon arose.
A colorful-robed Immortal King charged toward the entrance but was instantly shredded into a bloody mist by spatial blades.
"Five Universe King, what is happening?" an Immortal Court King urgently asked Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu replied indifferently, "Because he was using a fake talisman."
"Impossible! This talisman was also..."
The Immortal Court King stopped mid-sentence.
Lan Xiaobu glanced at him and said, "You were about to say that this talisman was also forged by a master craftsman from Qingfang Immortal Domain, right? Just like the original one thousand and eighty talismans, it was made by the same person, correct? If that were enough to enter the Chaos Secret Realm, why would we bother with allocating entry slots? We could just worship that craftsman and have as many slots as we wanted."
The faces of the Immortal Kings who had been eager to enter turned pale.
Their talismans had also been forged later.
"Hahaha..."
Wu Qiancheng laughed heartily.
"There are always those who think they are cleverer than others."
Shen Sen's expression was extremely grim.
He had not expected Lan Xiaobu to have tampered with the original one thousand and eighty talismans in such a short time, and even top-tier craftsmen had failed to detect it.
Several Immortal Court Kings shot angry glances at Shen Sen, who could only pretend not to see them.
These extra talismans had been sold under his direction.
Now, not only would he have to refund the money, but he would also have to bear the brunt of their wrath.
If Qingfang Immortal Domain were still at full strength, he would not have cared.
However, the domain's power had been greatly diminished, and it could no longer withstand the anger of so many domains.
"Let's go, Qiao Xing. We're entering too," Lan Xiaobu said to Gong Yunqi and Nie Xiangyu before leading Qiao Xing into the entrance of the Chaos Secret Realm.
As soon as Lan Xiaobu stepped into the entrance, he felt a tremendous force sweep over him.
In the next moment, he was whisked away.
He tried to extend his divine sense to observe his surroundings, but it was instantly devoured, leaving him unable to determine his location.
When the force subsided and Lan Xiaobu came to a stop, he was surprised to find that he was not in the Chaos Secret Realm but in the void of space.
What was going on? Lan Xiaobu's divine sense swept outward, and soon, at the edge of his perception, he detected a faint shadow.
He quickly flew toward it, and as he approached, the shadow became clearer—it was an enormous planet.
Could the Chaos Secret Realm be this planet? Lan Xiaobu's divine sense continued to scan, and soon he discovered a second planet.
After several days, Lan Xiaobu finally understood.
The so-called Chaos Secret Realm was actually a vast expanse of space composed of numerous planets.
He had never encountered such a secret realm before.
Or perhaps this was not a secret realm at all, but the world of the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor.
Lan Xiaobu summoned his Wind Chariot and soon landed on one of the planets.
It was a planet teeming with life, inhabited by immortal beasts but no human cultivators.
Apart from the immortal beasts, the planet was rich in high-grade immortal plants, some of which were extremely rare and of great age.
There were even ninth-grade immortal spirit herbs, some of which were particularly valuable.
If one disregarded the existence of the Heavenly Pivot Formation Disk, the value of this Chaos Secret Realm far exceeded everyone's initial estimates.
(That's all for today's update.
Goodnight, friends!)
