Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The middle-aged man’s sudden death stunned the other eight people in the cage. Their expressions were one of horror when they shifted their eyes back to the young man, looking as though they had seen a ghost. All of them were familiar with the middle-aged man who died. They knew the middle-aged man was stronger than them, and yet, the young man had easily killed the middle-aged man in just a blink of an eye.

Most of them were confused and shared the same thought at this moment. Why was the young man in the grade-three secret realm when he could easily enter the grade-two secret realm with his strength?

Despite being convinced by the young man’s strength, they were unaware that they had grossly underestimated the young man at this time. After all, if the young man so wished, he could easily top the scoreboard of the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm during the nine years he spent in the upper realm. Even the Tao Scholar Profound Sect’s Yan Ru Yv was far from being a match for him.

The young man was none other than Zhang Jin Yi who was currently using the name ‘Dong Yue’. He had assumed he would be able to meet Huan’er as soon as he entered the grade-three secret realm. Who knew he would be transported into a cage? Most importantly, Huan’er was not even among the nine people who were in the same cage as him.

“With his strength, we’ll definitely be able to defeat the other group and enter the grade-three secret realm even if our group didn’t draw a bye.”

At this moment, the others in group five finally realized why the young man was not moved when they learned that their group had drawn a bye. With his strength, it made no difference if they had drawn a bye or not.

…

Meanwhile…

‘I’m not in the same group as that woman Huan’er?’ Jun Chong Shan who was using the pseudonym ‘Jun Qiu He’ was assigned to group six. When he looked around, he discovered his group was composed of all men.

At this moment, an old man looked at Jun Chong Shan and asked with a smile, “Brother, I’ve never seen you before… How should I address you?”

Among the ten men in group six, apart from the old man who had spoken and Jun Chong Shan, the others had the appearances of a young man or a middle-aged man. For this reason, the old man felt a sense of solidarity with Jun Chong Shan.

Jun Chong Shan glanced at the old man and replied indifferently, “Jun Qiu Chen.”

“Jun Qiu Chen?” The old man was momentarily taken aback when he heard Jun Chong Shan’s reply. Then, he smiled and said, “I’ve heard a lot about you…”

In truth, the old man had never heard of the name ‘Jun Qiu Chen’, he had only said those words out of courtesy.

Jun Chong Shan did not hesitate to expose the old man’s fake pleasantries as he said, “This is my first time entering the upper realm using this name…”

The old man’s smile froze on his face immediately. Then, he said indignantly, “How rude! Don’t push your luck!”

“I don’t need luck.” Jun Chong Shan’s voice was dripping with disdain when he spoke. He was the lofty Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect, after all. How could the old man, an ordinary Ten Directions Celestial King, compare to him? Moreover, the old man’s presence in the grade-three realm also proved that he had only comprehended one profundity of a law to the initial stage at most. Someone like that was incredibly average.

“Rookies nowadays are really arrogant creatures…” The old man’s voice and gaze turned frosty. It felt as though the temperature in the cage had dropped.

Jun Chong Shan sneered before he asked mockingly, “So what? Are you going to teach me a lesson?”

“That’s right!” The old man mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy immediately, forming a sea of flames. Then, he swept toward Jun Chong Shan like a ball of flames.

“Amateur! You dare play with fire in front of me…” Jun Chong Shan smirked. Then, similar to the old man, his Celestial Origin Energy formed a sea of flames as well.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Jun Chong Shan’s sea of flames easily devoured the old man.

The old man did not even have time to put up resistance. Just like that, he was burned into nothing. The only thing left of him was a lone Spatial Ring, which Jun Chong Shan casually collected.

When the people in the cage regained their senses, they inhaled sharply. At the same time, they looked at Jun Chong Shan with a puzzled expression. What was this person

doing here when he could easily rank in the top 20 or top 30 with his strength? A moment later, the puzzled expressions on their faces were replaced with one of delight. With someone so strong in their group, it would be easy for them to defeat the other group and enter the grade-three secret realm.

…

Time continued to tick by…

After an hour, an entrance to the realm that seemed to be filled with trees, flowers, and birds appeared in front of group five’s cage.

Before everyone left the cage, Zhang Jin Yi stopped them and asked, “How big is the grade-three secret realm?”

Now that these people had witnessed Zhang Jin Yi’s terrifying strength, they, naturally, did not dare to act boldly.

One of them hurriedly answered in a flattering tone, “My lord, the grade-three secret realm isn’t big. An ordinary Ten Directions Celestial King would be able to cover all the grounds in just a day or two. Despite its size, the tests and obstacles here are incredibly difficult to pass. The more precious a treasure is, the harder the tests would be… However, with your strength, the tests won’t pose any difficulty to you at all…”

‘It would only take a day or two for an ordinary Ten Directions Celestial King to cover all the grounds of the grade-three secret realm?’ Zhang Jin Yi’s eyes brightened. With these words, he was not worried he would not be able to find Huan’er and Duan Ling Tian.

After walking out of the entrance, Zhang Jin Yi turned back. He discovered that there were another three entrances that were still closed next to group five’s entrance.

Upon seeing Zhang Jin Yi looking at the closed entrances, a middle-aged man hurriedly explained, “My lord, the other groups are behind these entrances. Once they’re finished with their fights, the entrances would open, and they would be able to come out. On the other hand, our entrance will close once everyone from our group leaves. The only way to leave is to crush our Identity Jade Tokens or wait until ten days have passed.”

“You’re saying those who win the fight will all come out through these entrances?” Although Zhang Jin Yi had already guessed this, his eyes still brightened when he heard these words.

“Yes, my lord.” The middle-aged man nodded. “They’ll come through these entrances. Similarly, after all of them come out, the entrances will disappear as well.”

“Okay.” Zhang Jin Yi nodded.

“My lord, if there is nothing else, can I take my leave?” The middle-aged only dared to leave after seeing Zhang Jin Yi nod.

‘It seems like there’s no need for me to search for them. All I need to do is wait here,’ Zhang Jin Yi thought to himself as he looked at the other three entrances.

At the same time, the entrance where Zhang Jin Yi exited closed after everyone had left.

…

Meanwhile…

At this time, a monotonous voice rang in the room where the other cages were located.

“Group three versus group six.”

“Our opponent is group six!”

“No matter which group it is, we don’t have to be afraid since Miss Huan’er and Lord Duan Ling Tian are here!”

The other eight people in group three were confident since they had Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er in their group.

At this moment, one side of the cage opened up. A chain bridge leading out of the cage appeared outside the cage as well.

“Miss Huan’er, Lord Duan Ling Tian, the bridge leads to the battlefield. If you’re in danger, you can leave by crushing your Identity Jade Tokens,” someone explained to Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

At the same time, the eight people in group six were feeling extremely confident as well. After all, even with their collective strength, they knew they were not a match for Jun Chong Shan. With someone like that in their group, they, naturally, were confident they would be able to defeat group three and enter the grade-three secret realm.

“My lord, please.”

The men in group six were extremely respectful toward Jun Chong Shan, allowing him to walk first.

Jun Chong Shan did not hesitate and took the lead to walk out onto the chain bridge that would lead them to the people from group three.

‘I hope those two are in group three. Otherwise, I’d have to defeat my opponents as fast as I can so I can leave this place and wait for them to arrive.’ When Jun Chong Shan was a mere core disciple in the Wind Thunder Dao Sect, he had entered the upper realm before. Therefore, he was familiar with all the secret realms.

The battlefield seemed to be located in space. Stars could even be seen twinkling from afar. Two chain bridges could be seen at the sides of the battlefield.

Group six that was led by Jun Chong Shan was the first to arrive.

It did not take long before the people from group three arrived as well. Among this group of people, there was a young man and a breath-taking beauty dressed in all white.

“What a beauty!”

“In my opinion, she’s even more beautiful than the Hundred Flowers Celestial Sect’s Ouyang Yu Wei!”

“She’s Huan’er!”

“I thought it’s an impostor since it’s not difficult for Huan’er to enter the grade-one secret realm!”

“I wonder why she decided to come to the grade-three secret realm.”

When the men in group six discovered the beauty in group three was Huan’er, their expressions turned grave immediately.

On the contrary, the eyes of the de facto leader of group six, Jun Chong Shan, shone with killing intent.
