Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

The long night passed in silence.

When the first ray of morning light shone on the steep cliffs, the towering peak suddenly emitted a faint rainbow luminescence, as if it had merged with the dawn.

An indescribable aura spread in all directions. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

The cultivators from the West Sea Sect sitting in front of the cliffs were all invigorated; the talisman money they carried with them all began to glow.

Various signs indicated that the entrance to the Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm was about to appear!

But with excitement also came tension.

Although it had been very peaceful last night, with no accidents, now it was daytime, and the more obvious the signs of the Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm's emergence, the more likely it was to attract other treasure hunters.

Everyone could only hope that the Illusion Array would work effectively, buying everyone enough time.

A step ahead is a step ahead in everything; if one could enter at the beginning of the Secret Realm's opening, the chances of encountering opportunities would surely increase greatly.

This was not wishful thinking, but the precious experience summarized by the lucky ones in the past!

However, things often don't go as desired, and a clamor approached from afar, quickly reaching everyone's ears.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"The location shown by the Spirit Seeking Compass is right there!"

"The Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm might be opening soon, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

"Come this way!"

A group of cultivators appeared in everyone's line of sight, drawing closer to the mountain and soon entering the range of the Illusion Array's influence.

"This isn't right!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

"Illusion Array!"

The newly emerged cultivators were not weak at all; among them were experienced treasure hunters with profound cultivation levels who sensed the existence of the Illusion Array immediately and reacted fiercely.

In an instant, talismans were thrown, and clusters of spiritual light burst forth.

Detection Talismans, Array Breaking Talismans, Banishing Spirit Talismans...

Under the onslaught of powerful mana, the illusions created by the Illusion Array were brutally pierced and torn apart, and the cultivators from the West Sea Sect in front of the cliffs were exposed.

"There are people!"

"Damn it all!"

The newly arrived cultivators had fiendish expressions in their eyes, and some cursed loudly.

They thought they were the first to arrive and never expected the spot to be taken, so naturally, they were extremely displeased, and many harbored murderous intent.

Opportunities were rare, and although the Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm was dangerous, the number of cultivators wanting to enter and search for treasure was as plentiful as fish crossing a river, ensuring fierce competition.

In the last two days, small-scale battles had broken out in Tai Wu Mountain, and some cultivators had fallen.

If the news of the Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm's emergence hadn't been fully spread yet, then the number of people coming to Tai Wu Mountain would be ten or even a hundred times more, and the scene would be even more tragic!

"The West Sea Sect is handling affairs, please find another place!"

Seeing that their side was already exposed, Sun Wenxuan boldly revealed his identity plaque and said with pride, "Otherwise, bear the consequences!"

The name of the West Sea Sect did indeed deter some cultivators.

They instinctively stepped back, their expressions somewhat panicked.

The Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm was indeed tempting, but going against the cultivators from the West Sea Sect before even seeing the entrance was definitely not a wise choice.@@novelbin@@

But many more cultivators were not afraid.

"Ptui!"

One of the burly men spat on the ground and bellowed with a vile expression, "This isn't the West Sea Spirit Domain, your West Sea Sect counts for nothing. Brothers, the Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm is about to appear, do you really want to let these bastards get away cheaply?"

Sun Wenxuan exploded in rage, "Seeking death!"

Not only had the other party mocked them, but they had also insulted the West Sea Sect—it was an unforgivable enmity!

However, it was the burly man who made the first move. He burst into wild laughter, "Man dies, birds fly to the heavens; don't die, and you'll live for tens of thousands of years, brothers, let's go all in against these bastards!"

Before his voice even faded, he raised his hand to summon a pale golden long blade and viciously cleaved it towards Sun Wenxuan!

This burly man also had a Purple Mansion cultivation level, and the blade light that he conjured with his mana instantly extended ten feet long, slashing down from above at an astonishing speed and momentum.

In the next moment, the blade light was obstructed by an invisible barrier, causing ripples of intense fluctuations to spread out!

Although the Illusion Array previously set up by the West Sea Sect cultivators had been broken, the secondary layer of the Defensive Array was unaffected, instantly activating upon the enemy's attack.

The burly man's attack was ferocious and sharp, but it was still far from breaking through this barrier.

However, he wasn't alone; a large number of his comrades followed him.

These Loose Cultivators had always looked down on Sect cultivators. Now involved in a dispute over the Secret Realm, they were easily incited by the burly man's few words, each conjuring their Magic Artifacts or casting spells and Talismans to launch their attack.

In an instant, Spiritual Light appeared, and countless Wind Blades, fireballs, and thunderbolts bombarded toward Sun Wenxuan, who was presiding over the Array.

Before the mountain, the sky changed color!

Ring after ring of halos rippled in front of Wang Chen and the others.

Sun Wenxuan's face was as stern as water, and he shouted fiercely, "Those who offend our Sect will be killed without mercy!"

No sooner had his words fallen than the West Sea Sect cultivators sitting in the Array cast their strongest spells, resolutely initiating a counterattack.

Wang Chen's hands formed a spell, releasing a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that he had just readied.

His Nine Heavens Divine Thunder had already been cultivated to Great Perfection; instant casting was no problem, but if he charged and focused beforehand, he could maximize the might of the spell.

Crack!

Countless bolts of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping dozens of Loose Cultivators within them.

The dazzling lightning blinded many!

But what was truly terrifying was the destructive force contained in each bolt of lightning.

Even though the power was diffused due to the wide coverage, it was not something ordinary cultivators could withstand.

Piercing screams suddenly rang out. Several Qi Cultivators were struck by the divine thunder and turned instantly into charred corpses; their Body Protection Magical Shields stood no chance.

Some cultivators' shields were broken, but they were lucky to escape death due to protective Talismans they carried.

However, the second wave of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder released by Wang Chen followed shortly after, killing them on the spot!

And Sun Wenxuan and the others were not weaklings either; the spells they cast were equally powerful. Following a torrential outpouring of spells, more than half of their enemies were downed.

Protected by the Defensive Array, the West Sea Sect cultivators were able to cast spells calmly. Together with their profound cultivation levels and coordinated teamwork, they naturally had the upper hand against these Loose Cultivators.

But the fight between the two sides created an even bigger commotion, the light from the spells could be seen from afar.

Other cultivators searching nearby noticed this and hastened towards the commotion.

As a result, more and more people arrived in front of the mountain.

A chaotic battle erupted!
