Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

a few days later.

Many people arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.

The imperial palace's prodigies, the Sky Patrol Division's prodigies, and the Shen family's prodigies have all arrived. In total, they number in the millions.

Disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect have also arrived.

Ye Qingliu, Quan Zhenzi, Jian Jiuxiao, Shen Changfeng, Li Ziqiang, Han Xiao, and Ning Wushuang all came. Their numbers exceeded thirty thousand.

Wuwo, Nangong Chi, and the others also arrived.

It was packed with people.

Putting aside the threats to the life force of the Five Regions and Jiang Zaitian, everyone wants to seize this heaven-defying opportunity.

Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river, yet even the most outstanding individuals struggle to make progress. This is now vividly illustrated.

Millions of outstanding individuals.

Each of them is an outstanding individual in their respective fields, but placed here, they seem unremarkable.

It has created a magnificent spectacle and raised its competitiveness to an unprecedented level.

Millions vied for seven spots—a true battle of destiny. Even the most outstanding individuals received no special privileges.

But that didn't stop them from wanting to go to the secret realm. After all, they were all outstanding individuals, and none of them considered themselves inferior.

It is worth mentioning that.

Lin Yuan had just emerged from seclusion a few days ago when he heard about what was happening here, so he came over with his elders.

However, he didn't come for the chance, but to find Chang Wen.

I grew up with Chang Wen and we have a deep bond. Now that I can't see him, I don't even enjoy my food. I absolutely have to see Chang Wen.

Ula ura—

The outstanding individuals from the five regions began to enter the secret realm in an orderly manner, marking the quiet beginning of this battle for destiny.

Who will be one of the seven lucky winners? Just thinking about it makes them incredibly excited.

Within the secret realm.

Chang Wen is unaware of these matters at the moment.

After several days of adjustment, he has returned to peak condition and is ready to respond to any changes that may arise.

It is worth mentioning that.

Chen Changsheng, Shen Nianqing, and Su Xiaoman were already seated on the Azure Lotus of the Great Dao.

Being in a good position gives one an advantage, and Chang Wen wasn't about to let such an opportunity slip by. He'd let them sit down first.

In this way...

Only four of the seven spots remain. I wonder what Baiwanrenjie would think if he saw this.

"That's strange, eight days have passed, why haven't those people come yet?"

Su Ran, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask.

She came in with Su Xiaoman. Since she was already at the peak of the Great Ascension stage, she didn't go to Qinglian to join the fun. She left this opportunity for someone who needed it more.

"They should be here soon."

Chang Wen chimed in, "It only took us five days to get here from the Haoran Immortal Sect. Even if they're slow, they should be here by now."

The words had barely left his mouth.

A large group of people then appeared within the sensing range.

"Senior Brother!!!"

Leading the charge was a ferocious beast, entirely black in color and with a hideous appearance.

It is undoubtedly Lin Yuan.

In order to see Chang Wen as soon as possible, he transformed into his true form and traveled at high speed. He called out Chang Wen's name from tens of thousands of feet away.

"Senior Brother! I've missed you so much!"

Lin Yuan instantly appeared in front of Chang Wen, transforming into human form. Giving Chang Wen no time to react, he began licking him repeatedly.

Seeing this, Su Ran, who had been quietly observing from the side, frowned slightly, a hint of disdain flashing across her eyes, and subconsciously took a half step back.

She was always very clean, even though she was in love with Chang Wen, she still had a strong obsession with cleanliness. At this moment, only one thought occupied her mind: her Chang Wen was no longer clean…

Chang Wen...

He had no idea what Su Ran was thinking, and quickly tried to control Lin Yuan, saying, "No, Yuan'er, we haven't seen each other for only two months, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Senior brother, lick it one more time!"

"..."

Several breaths passed before Chang Wen finally pushed Lin Yuan away, allowing him to breathe fresh air.

Too suffocating.

"Yuan'er, how many times have I told you? We're people who need to maintain a good image now, so don't do these kinds of things when we're out in public."

Su Ran was utterly astonished.

What's going on? Does this happen often even when you're not out? Could it be that the man you like doesn't like women?

Su Ran suddenly realized this extremely critical question, and there was even evidence to support it.

Given Chang Wen's current fame, finding a Daoist partner shouldn't be a piece of cake. Why hasn't he found one?

"Oh my god..."

As Su Ran pondered this, she felt as if the sky were collapsing.

Chang Wen was unaware of these things and continued catching up with Lin Yuan.

They had intended to let Lin Yuan take a spot as well, but unexpectedly, a commotion came from afar at that moment.

A dense swarm of figures burst through the air, their imposing presence overwhelming and engulfing the sky.

Judging from their faces, they were all acquaintances.

Led by Ye Qingliu, more than 30,000 disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect arrived.

Their robes fluttered, exuding an aura of grandeur. The uniform Daoist robes of the Haoran Immortal Sect stood out prominently in the secret realm filled with Daoist radiance.

"They've all come..."

Chang Wen stood there, stunned.

There are only four spots available for the Azure Lotus of the Great Dao, and with Lin Yuan included, that leaves only three. I didn't expect them all to come.

"Senior Brother!"

Everyone landed beside Chang Wen.

Among them were peak masters such as Ouyang Feng, Cheng Long, and Xue Wuqing. Although they were peak masters, their strength was only at the eighth or ninth level of the Mahayana stage.

If we can win the position of Azure Lotus, that would be excellent.

After exchanging brief greetings with Chang Wen and Lin Baoding, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to the seven Azure Lotuses of the Great Dao floating in mid-air.

The dazzling azure light flowed with the ancient Daoist charm, and the aura of the Great Dao wafted towards them. Just by looking at it from afar, they were shaken to their core and filled with longing.

On their way here, they witnessed the grand scene of millions of geniuses gathering in the secret realm.

The Imperial Palace, the Celestial Patrol Bureau, the Shen family, countless rogue cultivators, and demon geniuses gathered together to compete for the mere seven Lotus Platform opportunities.

With a million people vying for the top seven spots, how slim is the chance?

Along the way, everyone's hearts had already grown cold.

Knowing that with such intense competition, their chances of securing a seat were extremely slim, almost negligible.

But when they saw Chang Wen, a sliver of unrealistic expectation inevitably ignited in their dormant hearts.

In the hearts of all members of the Haoran Immortal Sect, Chang Wen has always been synonymous with defying fate and creating miracles.

He swept through the land, defeated the supreme beings, and overwhelmed the great powers, single-handedly upholding the reputation of the entire Haoran Immortal Sect.

To them, Chang Wen was an omnipotent legend, and their greatest source of confidence and reliance.

Can Chang Wen secure the remaining four positions for them?

Once the idea took hold, it took root rapidly. Everyone's eyes burned with anticipation as they waited in silence.

"Someone else is here."

Just then, Chang Wen turned his head.

Tens of thousands of members of the Haoran Immortal Sect also turned their heads to look.

Top figures and powerful individuals from all sides arrived one after another and took their positions.

The densely packed cultivators filled the entire world, surrounding the Great Dao Azure Lotus, and all threw themselves at the seven lotus platforms in mid-air.

Wow!!!

Almost instantly, the million cultivators couldn't help but exclaim in shock. How could three of these Azure Lotuses be claimed?! What happened?

Countless cultivators felt their anger and resentment hard to quell.

Discussions and angry shouts rose and fell, and the insults were very harsh.

"Who are these three people?!"

A powerful figure from the Holy Alliance stepped forward. He was a member of the Holy Alliance left behind and did not recognize Chang Wen and the others.

Therefore, he was not afraid of Chang Wen and continued, "The Great Dao Azure Lotus is a supreme treasure of humanity left behind by the Fallen Venerable, benefiting all five regions and representing an unparalleled opportunity for the entire human race!"

"How dare you juniors be so selfish and narrow-minded, taking what you don't ask for and hoarding unparalleled opportunities! Disregarding all cultivators in the world, you monopolize the opportunities of the Great Dao!! What is your punishment?!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Millions of people instantly launched an attack on Chen Changsheng and his two companions, and some even stood up to prepare to beat them up.

Chang Wen naturally couldn't sit idly by.

He immediately arrived in mid-air and protected the three of them.

"Who dares to obstruct the Holy Alliance's actions?"

The powerful figure from the Holy Alliance looked at Chang Wen with an unfriendly expression. Out of caution, he decided to inquire about Chang Wen's background before taking action, lest he cause trouble.

"I suppose your status in the Holy Alliance isn't very high."

Chang Wen recognized the Holy Alliance uniform and knew that the old man was a member of the Holy Alliance, so he didn't speak very politely.

"What do you mean?"

The powerful figure from the Holy Alliance shifted his gaze slightly, realizing that something was amiss.

"It means exactly what it says. If you were a high-ranking member of the Holy Alliance, you would definitely recognize me."

Chang Wen spoke truthfully, which served as a warning.

The powerful figure from the Holy Alliance stood frozen in place, speechless.

Why is this kid bringing up the Holy Alliance's high-ranking officials right off the bat? Does that mean you're someone important?

Just when he didn't know what to do...

The powerful figure from the Holy Alliance who had previously paid Chang Wen stepped forward.

He looked at Chang Wen and said, "Young friend Chang Wen! We have already settled our past grievances by compensating him with resources!"

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Chen Changsheng and the other two, who were sitting cross-legged on the Azure Lotus, and said, "The Azure Lotus of the Great Dao is a supreme treasure of the human race, carrying the cultivation traditions of the Five Regions and benefiting hundreds of millions of cultivators throughout the world!"

"You've taken over three lotus thrones without permission; that's going a bit too far!"

The surrounding powerful figures of the Holy Alliance echoed their agreement.

Some might ask, "You just paid to avoid disaster, so why do you dare to confront Chang Wen so directly?"

The reason is as follows.

The Mirror of Reincarnation is indeed bizarre and domineering, capable of robbing one's lifespan.

However, while it can plunder lifespan, it cannot instantly kill a Mahayana cultivator.

Even as their lifespans continue to decline, these veteran powerhouses are capable of sustaining themselves for several days or even half a month, and will not perish instantly.

Now, let's talk about the present.

All 30,000 disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect were present, along with their sect leader, Lin Baoding, who was still recovering from serious injuries.

They can attack the disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect at any time and control Chang Wen.

That is why they dared to completely set aside their fears, stand firm, and try to seize the supreme opportunity.

The other powerful figures in the Holy Alliance also stopped holding back and directly confronted them.

"This opportunity belongs to our human race! What right do you have to take it without asking and monopolize all three lotus seats?"

"We cultivators endure arduous training, and countless people are trapped in the shackles of their cultivation realms for millennia, unable to break through. Your monopolization of this fortune is no different from cutting off the path to immortality for others!"

"Quickly step aside and allow for a fair competition, or the cultivators of the world will make your Haoran Immortal Sect pay the price!"

As the powerful figures of the Holy Alliance spoke one after another, the atmosphere in the entire secret realm instantly became tense.

Even people from other factions cast hostile glances at Chang Wen.

That's one way to put it.

More than a million people wanted to kick out Chen Changsheng and the other two behind Chang Wen.

It's unclear what will happen next.
