The moment he entered the Secret Realm, Wang Ruoxie felt a darkness before his eyes, and a sensation of time and space shifting.

But in just an instant, he felt himself land on the ground and soon discovered that he had arrived in another space.

This place also seemed to be a deep valley, with no grass, trees, or rocks around, appearing quite desolate.

The thousands of them were all in this valley.

Everyone cautiously surveyed their surroundings, as everything was unfamiliar to them upon first entering this Black Tortoise Secret Realm.

"Such dense Spiritual Qi."

Wang Ruoxie took a deep breath, feeling the rich Spiritual Qi permeating the space around him, and silently marveled at it.

This Black Tortoise Secret Realm is indeed an ancient relic that has existed for at least a thousand years; the Spiritual Qi is several times denser than outside. If one could cultivate in seclusion here, it would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort.

However, this is almost impossible because they only have ten days to seek opportunities and inheritances within this Secret Realm.

After ten days, they must return here, or else they will be trapped within for at least ten years until the Secret Realm opens again and they can exit.

"This can at most be considered the inner entrance to the Black Tortoise Secret Realm. We must leave this valley to step into the true Black Tortoise Secret Realm."

At this moment, Xie Yuya looked at everyone and slowly spoke: "I believe you all know that only with members of our three ancestral families can we enter the Black Tortoise Secret Realm."

"So, now we will begin forming groups, with each of the three ancestral families as a group, and you need to choose one to join."

As Xie Yuya's words fell, everyone's attention turned to the teams of the Xie, Liu, and Zhou families.

However, most people's eyes were on Xie Yuya.

Of the three ancestral families of Black Tortoise City, the Xie Family is the strongest, and they have the most members entering the Black Tortoise Secret Realm this time, so it would certainly be safer to follow the Xie Family team.

"To join my Liu Family's team, you must at least have a First Layer cultivation of Meridian Passage Realm, and each person must turn over seventy percent of the gains acquired within the Secret Realm to us."

At this moment, Liu Chen from the Liu Family team also spoke up.

"My Zhou Family only needs people with a Middle Stage cultivation of Meridian Passage Realm, and each person must hand over sixty percent of their gains."

Zhou Wuji also spoke.

Hearing Zhou Wuji's words, many of those in the Innate Realm and Early Stage of Meridian Passage Realm showed disappointment. They intended to follow the Zhou Family's team but did not expect to be disregarded by them.

The Liu Family's conditions aren't high, as a First Layer cultivation of Meridian Passage Realm is sufficient, but they demand seventy percent of the harvest, which is really quite extortionate.

Immediately, many people turned their gaze to Xie Yuya, especially those in the Innate Realm, showing hopeful expressions.

The teams of the Liu Family and Zhou Family don't want those in the Innate Realm, so now they can only place their hopes on Xie Yuya.

"My Xie Family has no requirements, and you only need to turn over fifty percent of your gains."

Xie Yuya smiled slightly and said to everyone.

"Great, then I'll join the Xie Family's team."

Before Xie Yuya's words settled, a youth with a Ninth Layer cultivation of Innate Realm hastily spoke up.

"We will join the Xie Family's team too."

Following closely, those in the Innate Realm all hurried to speak up.

"Junior Brother, let's also join the Xie Family's team."

Xueyao said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Okay."

Wang Ruoxie nodded. He had already formed a life-and-death feud with Liu Chen and had killed Zhou He and a dozen others from the Zhou Family, so clearly he couldn't join those two families' teams anymore.

Moreover, from Xie Yuya's attitude towards him just now, joining the Xie Family's team shouldn't pose any issue.

"Kid, if you join my Liu Family's team, you won't need to turn over any gains."

At this moment, Liu Chen suddenly said to Wang Ruoxie.

With Liu Chen's words, the crowd was astonished, and everyone looked at Wang Ruoxie with surprise.

What was so special about this guy that Liu Chen valued him so much that he didn't need to hand over any gains to receive the Liu Family's protection?

"If you join my Zhou Family's team, you also won't need to turn over any gains."

At this time, Zhou Wuji also suddenly spoke.

"What's going on... this guy is being valued by both the Liu Family and the Zhou Family, could it be that he's not actually in the Second Layer of Meridian Passage Realm but a top-level powerhouse hiding his cultivation?"

"He seems to be a few years younger than us; even if he hid his cultivation, he wouldn't exceed the Middle Stage of Meridian Passage Realm, which can't be considered a top-level powerhouse at all."

Many people exchanged confused glances and whispers, unable to understand why Liu Chen and Zhou Wuji actively invited this person to join their teams.

Even Xie Yuya had a few traces of surprise in his eyes, seemingly not expecting such a situation to arise.

Wang Ruoxie was present when the Infinite Jade Disc tested talent, and he was aware that Wang Ruoxie's talent even surpassed his own, yet he was still surprised by Liu Chen and Zhou Wuji's sudden invitation to Wang Ruoxie.

"Sorry, I have already decided to join the Xie Family's team."

Wang Ruoxie gave Liu Chen and Zhou Wuji a faint smile and said.

He was naturally aware that Liu Chen and Zhou Wuji invited him to join their teams to find an opportunity to target him.

Though he didn't understand why Liu Chen and Zhou Wuji didn't act directly, he wouldn't be foolish enough to give them the chance to kill him.

"This guy really doesn't know what's good for him."

Many people thought to themselves after hearing Wang Ruoxie's words.

Liu Chen and Zhou Wuji didn't say anything more, merely casting a cold glance at Wang Ruoxie, as they didn't truly expect him to join their teams.

Moreover, in their eyes, Wang Ruoxie was already a dead man because this Black Tortoise Secret Realm could be considered the territory of their three ancestral families.

"Brother Xie, is it alright if my senior sister and I join your Xie Family's team together?"

Wang Ruoxie no longer paid any attention to Liu Chen and Zhou He, smiling at Xie Yuya as he spoke.

"Since Brother Wang holds my Xie Family in such regard, I, Xie Yuya, naturally welcome you."

Xie Yuya returned a subtle smile.

Then, Wang Ruoxie and Xueyao moved forward, entering the Xie Family team.

Following this, the thousands present joined the teams of the three ancestral families, with the Xie Family team receiving the most members.

All those in the Innate Realm, as well as the majority of those in the Early Stage of Meridian Passage and some in the Middle Stage, chose to join the Xie Family team.

After all, the Xie Family already had the largest numbers and strongest strength, not to mention they had no requirements and only required fifty percent of their gains to be turned over.

Without delay, everyone, under the guidance of the three ancestral families, proceeded to the valley entrance.

"What's happening to my cultivation..."

At the moment when everyone stepped out of the valley, they felt their cultivation being suppressed.

In that instant, everyone discovered that their cultivation had been suppressed by at least three minor realms.

Those in the Innate Realm weren't subjected to too much suppression, only feeling a bit uncomfortable.
