It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

Within the ethereal fairyland.

As numerous prodigies and powerful forces poured in, the entire secret realm was shaken, for they were all at the peak of the Saint realm.

The original entry threshold for the Misty Immortal Realm was that only half-saint cultivators could enter.

Now that it has been forcibly altered by the powerful beings of Zhongzhou, it has also caused a huge impact on the entire fairyland.

A strange energy began to surge forth throughout the entire fairyland, slowly spreading outwards.

Beside a river, ripples spread through the air, and a group of figures slowly appeared.

This scene instantly made the Devouring Beasts in the river restless.

The Devouring Beasts roared as they looked at the unfamiliar figure before them.

The man at the head, with a sinister appearance, sneered.

He raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing a torrent of sword energy.

All the Devouring Beasts in this river were cut in half at the waist, and blood flowed like a river.

"The monsters in this secret realm are nothing special, only at the peak of the half-saint level, truly weak."

Ning Changyu looked disdainful, but also somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, the monsters born in the secret realm should have reached the limit of the secret realm's capacity, and it is impossible for them to be so weak that they could be killed instantly by him.

"Senior Brother Ning, you are truly awe-inspiring. You deserve to be the number one inner disciple of our Canglan Academy."

"But senior brother, I heard that there should be quite a few local cultivators in Tiannan after the opening of the Misty Immortal Realm, but I haven't seen a single one."

A young man standing next to Ning Changyu asked with great curiosity.

Ning Changyu spoke calmly.

"Hehe, what you can think of, the major powers in Zhongzhou can naturally think of too. Those Tiannan cultivators have probably already been wiped out."

"As for the cleaning method, well, that remains to be seen."

Ning Changyu smiled casually; the method of "cleaning up" he was referring to was, of course, direct killing.

However, as he expected, this dirty work was probably done by assassins from the Nine Nether Pavilion.

Of course, this is normal. After all, with the opening of the Immortal Realm, countless geniuses from the Central Continent have entered, so naturally they won't let these ants from the Southern Continent run around freely.

Opportunities always belong only to the strong.

Ning Changyu and his group stopped thinking about it and strode away in one direction. They had come here to seek opportunities.

...........

In other parts of the Misty Wonderland, similar scenes were unfolding, with large numbers of Devouring Beasts being indiscriminately slaughtered.

The Devouring Beast was once the overlord of the Misty Immortal Realm and a nightmare for cultivators in the Southern Heaven.

Now they are treated like stray dogs on the street and are slaughtered at will.

Their golden blood has stained the rivers throughout the fairyland.

Deep within the river, a group of eerie figures absorbed the golden blood, and their originally decaying and ancient bodies began to move slightly.

On the other side, Chen Ping led Ling Xiao and the others forward slowly. As they walked along, they clearly noticed that there were unusual movements in the Misty Immortal Realm.

In every river around, one can see the remains of the Flerken, and the river water is stained gold.

"roar!"

Chen Ping rode a Devouring Beast, which looked at the countless corpses of its kind, roared to the sky, and let out a mournful cry.

Chen Ping frowned.

These Devouring Beasts may not seem like much to him, but they would be extremely terrifying to other cultivators.

How could they be slaughtered in an instant? And looking at the corpses of these Devouring Beasts, they were clearly killed instantly, without any power to resist.

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Wang Long immediately offered an explanation.

"Senior, as expected, it is the geniuses from Zhongzhou who have arrived. They are all at the peak of the Saint realm, so these Devouring Beasts at the half-Saint realm are naturally no match for them."

Wang Long was originally an assassin sent by the Nine Nether Pavilion to eliminate the cultivators of Tiannan, and he knew the inside story perfectly well.

Luo Qingcheng looked at Wang Long and sensed the aura of a saint on him, then asked a question.

"By the way, how were you able to enter at the Saint level? Isn't this Immortal Realm only open to Half-Saint cultivators?"

Wang Long then began to explain.

Luo Qingcheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting that she could change the rules of the fairyland with the help of external forces.

"If that's the case, then if I break through to the Saint Realm now, will I no longer be teleported out?"

Luo Qingcheng asked again.

"No need to ask anymore. Even now that I've broken through to the Saint Realm, I can't leave this fairyland."

Just then, Ling Xiao's voice came softly from beside him.

Ling Xiao's aura at this moment has already reached the realm of a saint.

His aura had been suppressed for millennia, and now, having reached its limit, he unknowingly broke through.

However, when he broke through, he did not cause any unusual phenomena and remained in the Misty Immortal Realm.

As everyone listened to Ling Xiao's words, they sensed the aura of a saint emanating from him.

Luo Qingcheng was slightly taken aback.

The next moment, Luo Qingcheng stopped suppressing her cultivation and successfully broke through to the Saint Realm.

Luo Qingcheng examined herself and found nothing unusual; she was still in the ethereal fairyland.

Chen Ping looked at everything before him, his brows furrowing slightly.

It seems that this fairyland has indeed undergone a change, and even its internal rules have changed.

Just then, a sudden change occurred ahead, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and ripples spread through the surrounding space.

Then, a magnificent palace appeared out of thin air.

This scene immediately stunned Chen Ping and his three companions.

Especially for Ling Xiao, this was not his first time in the Misty Wonderland, but he had never encountered a palace appearing out of thin air like this before.

The moment the palace appeared, countless auras rapidly approached from all directions.

In a short while, the palace was surrounded by monks.

The Xiao family's camp.

"Brother Fan, what's going on with this palace? How did it appear out of thin air?"

Beside Xiao Bufan, a young girl asked with great curiosity.

Xiao Bufan was also slightly taken aback, equally puzzled.

At this moment, it wasn't just Xiao Bufan and his group; the Qiongtian Sect camp also included Luo Su, the current chief disciple of the Qiongtian Sect.

Wen Shuyao, the number one young talent of Xiaoyao Academy, and everyone else frowned as they looked at the palace before them.

No one present dared to step forward rashly.

At that moment, the cultivators from the Flying Feather Pavilion, a force in the Central Plains, noticed Chen Ping and his group. Judging from their clothing and aura, they should be cultivators from the Southern Heaven.

Zhang Ao, the senior disciple of Feiyu Tower, coldly shouted at Chen Ping.

"Hey, you four, why don't you go into this palace first and see? There might be some great treasure inside. You'll make a fortune if you're the first to go in."

Upon seeing the palace appear in the world, Chen Ping was also curious about what was inside.

He ignored the surprised and wary looks from the surrounding cultivators, and also paid no attention to Zhang Ao.

He gestured to Luo Qingcheng, Ling Xiao, and the others behind him.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chen Ping strode towards the palace.

Behind him, Ling Xiao, Luo Qingcheng, and Wang Long watched Chen Ping's unwavering demeanor.

The three looked surprised and exchanged glances.

Is it really okay to just go in like this?

But seeing Chen Ping's retreating figure, the three of them quickly followed after him.

After all, they had witnessed Chen Ping's strength firsthand, and following him gave them a strong sense of security.

Under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators from Zhongzhou, Chen Ping and his companions entered the palace without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, the crowd began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Heh, you guys know what's good for you."

Zhang Ao watched as Chen Ping obediently followed his orders, and his heart was filled with smugness.

Then, he spoke loudly to the group of cultivators from the Central Plains forces around him.

"Everyone, I have already sent these four cultivators from Tiannan to scout the way into the palace for us. Please be patient."

"If there is danger inside, we will not go in. If there is a real opportunity, we can make them hand it over obediently when the time comes."
