In Donghua Palace, Chief Ning saw that everyone was looking at him. He glanced over the crowd. He smiled and said, “Since everyone has no objections, we will proceed into the third stage then. The Fuyao Secret Zone of Domain Chief’s Manor will now be opened for all Renhuangs to venture into.”
Many people had speculated that this was the next stage, so they were not surprised. However, the Renhuangs in the Nine Heavens were still somewhat excited.
The Fuyao Secret Zone was a cultivation secret zone that belonged solely to the Domain Chief’s Manor. Normally, other cultivators would not be able to step foot in the zone. They would not even have the chance to catch a glimpse of it, let alone cultivate and train in the secret zone.
Now, Domain Chief’s Manor organized the Donghua Banquet and opened up the Fuyao Secret Zone. For everyone, this was an extremely rare opportunity. Many Renhuangs had come here with the hopes of encountering this chance. Finally, the secret zone was going to be opened.
The other giant figures in Donghua Palace did not say anything. They looked indifferently at the people down below. Ling Yunzi, the Lingxiao Palace Palace Lord, said, “The Domain Chief has opened up the Fuyao Secret Zone and granted this opportunity to us cultivators of the Donghua Domain. I hope that everyone can seize this opportunity and live up to the Chief’s expectations.”
Chief Ning smiled as he nodded his head and said, “I hope so as well.”
“Are you all ready?” asked Chief Ning as he looked at the Renhuangs in the Nine Heavens. “If anyone does not wish to enter the secret zone, you can still opt out now.”
No one said anything. Who would turn down the chance to enter the secret zone of the Domain Chief’s Manor?
Although there was a certain amount of risk involved, as long as one was careful and did not go after things beyond their reach, it was still very safe. Even if they merely went in to take a look around and experience the place, it would still be a good opportunity. Having cultivated up to the Renhuang Plane, no one would mind having another fateful encounter.
After waiting for a short while, seeing that no one had objections, Chief Ning said, “If that’s the case, I will send you all to the entrance of the secret zone. We will wait for all of you at the exit. As long as you manage to find us, you will be qualified to cultivate in the Domain Chief’s Manor if that is what you decide, of course.”
“Yes, Chief,” many people answered. Chief Ning remained sitting there as he said, “Let us begin then.”
As he said this, the Nine Heavens immediately began to tremble. The next moment, the people below felt the world spinning. The Nine Heavens above were actually moving. The stars shifted, and this part of the sky also moved. The people below witnessed them disappear. It seemed that they had entered the Domain Chief’s Manor.
The entire Nine Heavens seemed to have been teleported away.
In the sky above, a misty aura enveloped Donghua Palace. The crowd saw that Donghua Palace also moving. Chief Ning looked down below at the cultivators and said, “Everyone, please enjoy your journey to the secret zone.”
As he said this, Donghua Palace also began to float in the sky.
Ye Futian and the others were at the top of the Nine Heavens. They moved along with it and could see all the changes happening outside. There were many magnificent palaces. It was as though they were floating in an ancient and grand city. They were moving so fast that the stars appeared to shift in the sky.
After a short while, they came to a region with a lake. Beyond the lake appeared to be a realm of deities. The aura of deities emanated from beyond the lake, reaching up into the sky above. There was an ethereal Celestial Gate. It was as if the gate had always been erected there, eternal and untouched.
“This is the gate that leads to the Fuyao Secret Zone. Once you pass through it, you will enter into the secret zone,” an ethereal voice explained. The crowd could tell that this was Chief Ning’s voice.
“Ning Hua, you have entered the secret zone many times. This time, you will enter along with the others, but you will not participate. Ensure order within the secret zone,” the voice continued saying. “Everyone here are Renhuangs from the Donghua Domain. If a conflict arises, I hope that it will not go out of hand. In the Fuyao Secret Zone, I do not wish to see fights that result in deaths. Aside from that, there are dangers in the secret zone. Know your own strength. Even I cannot save you. I cannot see what happens in the secret zone.” The crowd had solemn expressions. They knew what was in store.
This time, the cultivators with weaker cultivation were being taken care of. No slaughter was to occur. That way, they would not be in too much danger. Otherwise, once conflicts arose in the secret zone, those with powerful cultivation would immediately initiate a massacre.
“Alright. You may enter,” the voice continued. The crowd then saw a person heading into the zone first. A group of cultivators followed behind him. They were all cultivators from Domain Chief’s Manor. Their leader was Ning Hua.
This time, Ning Hua also entered the Fuyao Secret Zone. However, he was not there to venture throughout the secret zone. He was mostly there to maintain order within.
After passing through the gate, Ning Hua’s figure disappeared without a trace. The various cultivators who came walked up to the gate after witnessing this scene, passing through to enter into the Fuyao Secret Zone.
“Elder brother, what sort of place is the secret zone?” Ye Futian asked Li Changsheng, who was beside him.
“The zone was inherited by the Domain Chief’s Manor many years ago. It is considered a cultivation holy land for the Domain Chief’s Manor. There are many fateful encounters of the Great Path inside. The cultivators who join the Domain Chief’s Manor to cultivate have the opportunity to enter into the zone to train. For outsiders, it is hard to come across such a chance. As for what it is like inside the secret zone, I also am not sure. After all, I have never gone inside myself. However, the Fuyao Secret Zone is an independent space. It is its own world. It will certainly be very large inside.”
“Just like Eastern Deity Island?” Ye Futian asked Goddess Donglai.
“It is impossible for Eastern Deity Island to be compared to the secret zone of Domain Chief’s Manor,” Goddess Donglai replied. Ye Futian nodded his head. From the looks of it, this secret zone was even better than Eastern Deity Island. However, it might also be a completely different type of secret zone.
“You will know once you enter,” Zong Chan stated. The rest nodded their heads.
“Renhuang Ye, are you not going in?” someone nearby asked Ye Futian. Ye Futian raised his head and looked over in that direction. The person who had spoken was Qin Qing from Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow. Ye Futian smiled and replied, “I was just about to do so.”
“Hmm, we will head in first,” Qin Qing answered as she nodded her head slightly. The group from Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow floated towards the entrance.
Behind Ye Futian’s group, the cultivators of Ling Xiao Palace and Great Yan Ancient Royal Family had yet to enter. They seemed to be keeping an eye on Ye Futian’s group. Clearly, they were prepared to continue the fight during the Donghua Banquet left unfinished in the secret zone.
Large groups of people entered the Fuyao Secret Zone. The aura emanating from the gate was extremely frightening. Ye Futian glanced at the gate. He was also curious about the Fuyao Secret Zone. What would this secret zone of Domain Chief’s Manor be like? What would they find inside?
“Let’s go,” Li Changsheng said. The group from Wangshen Watchtower immediately headed towards the entrance to the secret zone together.
The large army entered the zone. The cultivators from various forces also gradually made their way in. There were fewer and fewer people in this area. After Ye Futian’s group passed through the gate, they felt an intense aura of the Great Path of Space. The next moment, they immediately appeared in another world!
