Chapter 1925

Regarding the secret realm Ye Zhangqing spoke of, Huang Lao had no interest.

In his view, the treasures in that secret realm were merely ordinary, not enough to make him compete.

This is the difference in vision.

In the Guo family's eyes, something worth fighting over, placed before Huang Lao, becomes a dispensable common commodity.

As for the safety of Xu Jie and the others, after hearing Ye Zhangqing's account, Huang Lao also said there was no need to worry.

The Guo family should not possibly allow Xu Jie and the others to enter that secret realm.

Indeed, that is the case, Immortal Realm, Guo family.

During the time Ye Zhangqing was trapped in Cooking King Immortal City for about half a year, that secret realm had already opened.

Moreover, the Guo family had previously recruited many young cultivators from the lower realm.

Although the numbers were still somewhat short of expectations, in the end, when the secret realm opened, the Guo family did not let Xu Jie and the others enter.

Instead, they let the few stay peacefully in the Guo family to cultivate, and also provided them with cultivation resources.

This was exactly as Huang Lao had guessed.

Now the struggle for that secret realm has begun, though the Guo family's progress is not very smooth.

It can even be said to be quite terrible.

Firstly, there are not enough people; secondly, the lower realm cultivators who entered have low cultivation.

Therefore, compared with the other major powers, the Guo family is obviously completely suppressed.

Compared with before, the treasures obtained are less than thirty percent.

The Guo family patriarch has been worrying about this for the past few months.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, simply a bunch of stupid pigs, consuming so many cultivation resources, only this little improvement?"

"I would rather find a group of mountain wild boars, pour in these resources, and they'd be stronger than these stupid creatures."

In the Guo family patriarch's hall, the patriarch shouted angrily, his words filled with intense fury, clearly showing he was truly angry.

Just moments ago, news came from that secret realm: a batch of lower realm cultivators the Guo family sent in were wiped out, all dying inside the secret realm.

Regarding this, the Guo family patriarch was so angry his teeth itched.

If this continues, the outcome for the Guo family in this secret realm opening will likely be a complete defeat.

How can the Guo family patriarch bear this?

Watching the patriarch shout angrily, the elders in the hall all remained silent.

Nobody wanted to provoke the patriarch's bad luck at this moment and become an unlucky punching bag.

After a round of scolding, the Guo family patriarch gradually calmed down, his face finally dark and grim as he spoke harshly.

"Select a batch of family disciples to enter the secret realm."

"Patriarch, this..................."

Upon hearing this, the elders in the hall were all stunned, then each showed hesitation.

Sending out Guo family disciples, if casualties occur then, they would be Guo family people.

However, facing the elders' troubled expressions, the Guo family patriarch darkened his face, gave them no chance to rebut, and gritted his teeth to speak.

"For now, this is the only plan; do you have any better ideas?"

"This..................."

If there were a solution, the elders would have spoken up long ago; isn't it precisely because there is no solution that everyone remains silent?

Seeing the elders all keep silent, the Guo family patriarch directly made the decision.

"Then it's decided; let the family disciples enter. For this secret realm opening, how can our Guo family have only this little gain?"

"How will the family develop then?"

Under the Guo family patriarch's efforts, the elders ultimately could only compromise.

After all, given the current situation, aside from sending out family disciples, there really seems to be no other way.

Guo family disciples entering the secret realm is something that hasn't happened for many years.

This shows the Guo family is truly driven to desperation this time.

And with this batch of Guo family disciples entering the secret realm, the Guo family's situation has indeed improved considerably.

At least inside the secret realm, they are no longer completely suppressed by the other major powers, which is a piece of good news.

However, the loss of family disciples is unavoidable; this is the price.

The struggle for the secret realm rages like fire, and time flows slowly along with it.

In the blink of an eye, over two months have passed; on this day, the Guo family's three ancestors already planned to set out for Cooking King Immortal City.

There are less than half a month left before Cooking King Immortal City opens; the Guo family's three ancestors naturally cannot wait.

"What are you going to do now? Cooking King Immortal City hasn't opened yet."

In the courtyard, the Guo family's three ancestors and another elder were about to depart, but this elder, seeing the hurried three ancestors, had a strange expression.

Regarding this, the Guo family's three ancestors simply replied briefly.

"Go wait."

Upon hearing this, the elder was instantly at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.

One year already, the Guo family's three ancestors have been waiting impatiently; this youngster Ye has been in Cooking King Immortal City for a full year—what could happen?

If something really happened, he would probably regret it to death.

So, counting the days, they finally waited until Cooking King Immortal City was about to open; the Guo family's three ancestors could wait no longer and immediately prepared to go wait first.

As soon as Cooking King Immortal City opens, they will enter the city first to confirm Ye Zhangqing's situation.

The elder preparing to accompany the Guo family's three ancestors is the Guo family's second ancestor, one of the three ancestors.

He had just emerged from seclusion, and the Guo family's three ancestors forcibly dragged him along.

The goal was to wait until after entering Cooking King Immortal City, so that if Ye Zhangqing really had any problem, the two of them joining forces would be stronger.

However, at this moment, the Guo family second ancestor said with a displeased face.

"If it's really as you say, then that Ye family kid being this outstanding, what do we still need to worry about? There definitely won't be any problems."

"You don't understand anything, Cooking King Immortal City is how Xiōngxiǎn a place, that kid is all alone................"

"Xiōngxiǎn place? Upon hearing the Guo family third ancestor's words, the Guo family second ancestor was instantly stunned."

"After living so many years, he had never heard anyone say that Cooking King Immortal City is Xiōngxiǎn."

"The two of them had already rushed to the entrance of Cooking King Immortal City in a hurry, while on the other side, after more than two months, Ye Zhangqing's cultivation broke through again, reaching minor completion of the Emperor Sovereign Realm."

"Host: Ye Zhangqing."

"Identity: Dao Yi Shengdi Canteen Elder, Cooking King Immortal City Young City Lord."

"Cultivation: Cultivation: Emperor Sovereign Realm minor completion (000079083/100000000)."

"Techniques: Clear Heart Art (perfected), Nine Meridians Art (perfected), Hundred Revolutions Golden Core Art (perfected)..."

"Arts: Shadow Blade (Yellow Upper Tier, Transformation Realm), Seven Stars Step (Yellow Upper Tier, Transformation Realm), Spirit Barrier (Yellow Upper Tier, Transformation Realm), Seven Kill Blade (Xuan Middle Tier, Perfected), Profound Spirit Barrier (Profound Extreme Upper Tier, Perfected), Swift Wind Step (Profound Extreme Upper Tier, Perfected)..."

"Reputation: Renowned across the vast lands."

"Talent: Emperor-grade middle tier (658425/100000000)."

"Foundation: Emperor-grade upper tier (845263/100000000)."

"Comprehension: Emperor-grade upper tier (623654/100000000)."

"Lying in the courtyard, looking at his personal panel after the breakthrough, Ye Zhangqing wore a smile."

"Meanwhile, Wu Zhong beside him had his eyes shining; breaking through a minor realm in two months, he indeed had not been mistaken—Ye Shī xiōng definitely has the ability to fight the Heavenly Family Young Lord, and he will surely win the beauty's hand."
