Chapter 104: The Sensation in the Capital

Green Lotus Princess accidentally touched the remaining strings of the zither. The sound of the zither was incessant, but it was not as melodious and pleasant as before, just like her current complicated emotions.

The Princess faintly sighed and said, “Forget it. Perhaps this was arranged by the Heavens. It is not something that we can stop.”

“Then what should we do now?”

“Elder Zhao still hasn’t received any new information. Right now, we can only take one step at a time.”

Green Lotus Princess lowered her brows in deep thought. Her gaze fell into the distance, and her beautiful eyes were somewhat solemn. “The Capital has really been troubled these past few days…”

She seemed to have thought of something and said to the maidservant beside her, “Has the quota for the Primal Chaos Secret Realm been released yet?”

The maidservant shook her head and said, “The Primal Chaos Secret Realm is extremely unstable, so I’m afraid the quota for this year will be much smaller. The various sects and factions fighting over the quota will inevitably lead to disputes.”

Green Lotus Princess revealed a thoughtful expression. “Is that so… then go and help me do something.”

At this moment, in the streets and alleys of the Capital, the crowd had not yet recovered from the shock of Sword Mountain turning into flat ground when they heard the news of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm appearing.

“What! The Primal Chaos Secret Realm has appeared, and this time, it’s in the Capital.”

“It’s absolutely true. I’ve seen it all. With such a grand and shocking scene, the various great sects and factions have already sent people over.”

“Strange things happen every year, and this year there are especially many. First, there was the Capital Dao Conference, then there was the Flawless quality medicinal pill, and then there was the appearance of the Divine Sword. Not only did those Divine Weapons disappear without a trace after Sword Mountain collapsed, but now there’s also the Primal Chaos Secret Realm…”

Some people could not help but sigh, immediately gaining the approval of quite a few people around them.

Their companion half-jokingly said, “That’s right. Everything happened together, as if it were an agreement. Could it be that there’s some sort of relationship between them?”

Joking aside, whether it was the Capital Dao Conference, the Sword Mountain, or the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, they could only be said to be coincidences, although all of this was a bit too coincidental.

“But the Dao Conference isn’t over yet. What should we do with the next few matches?”

“Do you think those people still have the mood to compete with the appearance of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm? The judges have already sent out the latest news that the competition will be postponed. They will wait until the Primal Chaos Secret Realm is closed before choosing a new time.”

Although the Capital Dao conference was also very important, compared to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, it was somewhat insignificant.

After all, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm only opened once every hundred years. Every time, the location was different, the kind that could only be encountered by chance. It was not uncommon for cultivators’ lifespan to reach several hundred years, and there were many secret treasures within these Secret Realms. Which faction did not want to obtain them?

“Sigh, it’s no wonder. It’s just that it’s only been a few decades since the last time the Primal Chaos Secret Realm opened. This time, it suddenly opened ahead of schedule. This is something unprecedented.”

Everyone was talking about it. The streets and alleys were all about the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, which overshadowed the popularity of the news about Sword Mountain. After all, the status of the two could not be compared.

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect also received the news.

They had only heard a little about the Supreme Purity Sect, but they had never participated in it. After all, small sects like them were not qualified to participate.

Even if they did, with the strength of their sects, they would probably be killed as soon as they entered. But now…

Not long after Wu Huaqing left, he hurriedly looked for Gu Xi and said excitedly, “The Primal Chaos Secret Realm has appeared!”

Gu Xi was a little confused. “Primal Chaos Secret Realm?”

Wu Huaqing was surprised that he did not know about the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, so he quickly explained, “This Secret Realm only appears after a hundred years. There are countless secret treasures inside, and there are even rumors that there is an Emperor’s treasure. All in all, there is a huge opportunity. I think you should give it a try.”

Wu Huaqing would not have dared to say that in the past, but after these few rounds, Gu Xi’s strength was enough to shock him.

He even had hope that Gu Xi could enter the Secret Realm. In fact, Wu Huaqing was a little selfish. If Gu Xi could enter the Secret Realm to strengthen his own cultivation, it would also increase the sect’s combat power.

At least, they would not be totally defenseless if those people were to come knocking on the sect’s door, looking for trouble. Wu Huaqing always felt that Sword Mountain incident had something to do with Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was deep in thought. This Primal Chaos Secret Realm was worth venturing into. Even if could obtain some incomplete Cultivation Methods, he could extract them through the System. That was a treasure left behind from ancient times, so its power must be extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi’s heart warmed up.

“But there’s one thing I want to tell you. The Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Not only are there ancient ferocious beasts, but there’s also an unknown array formation. The slightest carelessness will result in the destruction of one’s soul. There will also be cases of people killing and snatching treasures.”

Speaking of this, Wu Huaqing looked at Gu Xi uneasily, worried that he would cower because of this.

However, Gu Xi did not take it to heart. Since ancient times, danger and opportunities existed together. If he were to cower because of this and live in his comfort zone, he was afraid that he would not be able to advance in his cultivation for the rest of his life.

Moreover, he had quite a number of treasures and medicinal pills on him. Coupled with the System, it would not be so easy to deal with him. Even if it was a Primal Chaos Secret Realm, Gu Xi was confident that he could go and explore it. He might even have some unexpected gains.

“I’ll be careful.”

Wu Huaqing then asked his disciple to scout for information and see how the quota distribution for this year’s Primal Chaos Secret Realm was.

Gu XIicould not help but ask, “Is there a limit to how many people can enter the Secret Realm?”

Wu Huaqing nodded and said, “The Secret Realm will sometimes be unstable. If too many people enter, it might collapse or suddenly close. Not only is there a limit to the number of people, but there is also a limit to their cultivation.”

There was a benefit to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. Although it was dangerous and there were cases of killing and snatching treasures, due to the limitation of cultivation, it prevented some old monsters from participating in the massacre of cultivators.
