Chapter 403: The Senior Sister's Heartfelt Instructions, the Secret Realm Trial Begins!

Meanwhile, as undercurrents surged at the scene.

Time at the Secret Realm Entrance was also passing by rapidly!

Before they knew it, half a day had already passed.

"Swish! Swish!"

At this moment, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao suddenly felt that the many gazes that had been lingering on them shifted away.

Simultaneously, powerful auras belonging to Third Step experts from the Nine Sects and Six Lands suddenly flew out and descended outside that Secret Realm portal!

The two of them immediately felt something, and their gazes also landed on the towering Secret Realm portal.

"The Secret Realm Trial is about to begin!"

Zhuge Cuicui had arrived at the Secret Realm with Ye Bai and the other long after the other sects.

Therefore, by the time they arrived, ninety percent of the massive number of sects from both the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path had already reached the site.

After another half-day of waiting, all the sects participating in the trial had arrived; those who had not yet come would, in all likelihood, not be participating in this trial.

Thus, this Secret Realm Trial, gathering a massive number of cultivators from both the Righteous and Demonic Paths, officially began!

It would be impossible for Ye Bai and the other not to feel nervous.

What they were about to face was the targeting of a massive number of cultivators from both the Righteous and Demonic Paths!

Fortunately, the privileges granted by that old geezer to ensure their entry into the Secret Realm Trial were indeed useful.

They would be the first batch to enter the Secret Realm, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the situation inside ahead of the other cultivators!

"Two Junior Brothers, good luck!

Still the same words: Master said to perform well during this Secret Realm Trial trip and not to tarnish the reputation of Langlang Mountain!"

Zhuge Cuicui smiled and said softly at this moment.

"Click! Click!"

Before the two could reply to Zhuge Cuicui, that magnificent Secret Realm portal opened, and Ye Bai and the other were forcibly sucked into the Secret Realm!

A bout of dizziness!

Also sucked into the Secret Realm at the same time were other disciples from both the Righteous and Demonic Paths who possessed privileges.

Two Second Step demonic cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Gate, who had received gifts from Kuteng Shangren and Hehuan Shangren, were also in this group.

And only after this batch of people were the other disciples who entered the Secret Realm Trial normally.

It was still the disciples of the Nine Sects and Six Gates who entered first.

It is worth mentioning.

It was already half an hour later when all the younger generation of every sect had entered the Secret Realm.

And when the Secret Realm portal officially closed.

"Fellow Daoist of Yaochi, please open the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Mirror!"

A Third Step expert of the Demonic Path suddenly looked toward a Third Step expert from Yaochi, one of the Nine Sects, who had come on this trip.

"Heh, people of the Demonic Path are also worthy of calling me a fellow Daoist?"

The Third Step expert of Yaochi was naturally at odds with that Demonic Path expert, but after saying this, she still raised her hand and summoned a small mirror that looked like one used for makeup.

The mirror swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a giant mirror no smaller than the Secret Realm portal.

Inside the mirror, a row of blue numbers and a row of red numbers appeared.

Although the Xuanyuan World was not like Blue Star, where all sorts of high-tech instruments could be produced for a junior trial or exam to watch the events inside the Secret Realm in real-time—this world simply did not develop technology, and all cultivators put their minds into becoming stronger.

However, the capabilities of Dharma Treasures are diverse, and all kinds of miraculous abilities can be manifested through Dharma Treasures.

Although this Secret Realm was left over from the ancient era and restricted the entry of cultivators below the Third Step, and once everyone entered, the portal would not open again until the designated time, during which the Third Step experts could not even project their Mental Power into the Secret Realm.

But the Nine Sects and Six Gates actually all possessed functional Dharma Treasures capable of monitoring the current survival numbers of the young Righteous and Demonic cultivators inside the Secret Realm! It just required a certain price to activate!

This time for the Secret Realm Trial, it happened to be Yaochi's turn to use their functional Dharma Treasure!

And looking at the "4995/4999" displayed on the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Mirror, the two lines of blue and red text.

The Third Step experts of the Righteous Path actually couldn't help but let their expressions sink.

The Third Step experts of the Demonic Path, on the other hand, smiled subconsciously.

"It seems that although this Secret Realm Trial has just begun, our Demonic Path already holds the advantage!"

"Not only that, the Righteous Path's juniors have already lost seven people within half an hour.

Perhaps those two newly recruited disciples of Langlang Mountain are already dead, because they were unlucky enough to run into my Demonic Path's prodigies!"

The Third Step experts of the Demonic Path exchanged glances at this moment, their expressions carrying a hint of smugness!

The number of people from the Righteous and Demonic Paths entering the Secret Realm trial each time was about the same, around five thousand.

This time, the number of young cultivators from both the Righteous and Demonic Paths was exactly five thousand each, and then the Righteous Path's number reached 5002 because of Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao.

As a result, in just half an hour, the Righteous Path had already lost seven people, while the Demonic Path had only lost one!

However, what neither the Righteous Path Third Step experts nor the Demonic Path Third Step experts knew was...

Time returns to half an hour ago.

When Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had just been forcibly sent into the Secret Realm!

"We're in..."

After the two experienced a bout of dizziness, when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, they were already located within a Primitive Forest.

"The Outer Region of the Secret Realm, that's good, our luck is quite decent..."

Initially, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief because of their environment.

It was because during the half-day they spent waiting outside for the Secret Realm to open, Zhuge Cuicui had briefly told them about the information regarding this Trial Secret Realm.

First of all, anyone who enters the Secret Realm is teleported randomly!

This is the reason the two felt the privilege of entering the Secret Realm early was useful; they could make preparations and plans in advance based on the location they were randomly teleported to.

Secondly, the Secret Realm is huge! Larger than one can imagine!

It can accommodate ten thousand Second Step cultivators for training simultaneously, while still ensuring these cultivators are not fighting to the death the entire time and can obtain various resources and opportunities from within the Secret Realm, simply because this Secret Realm is truly too vast; unless a normal Second Step Peak cultivator flies without stopping for a year, it is impossible to traverse every corner of the Secret Realm!

Zhuge Cuicui also stated bluntly that even though she is currently at Melting Dao Peak, she cannot imagine how much effort the ancient cultivators put into creating this ancient Secret Realm, or how great a price they paid.

Finally, the Secret Realm is divided into the Center Region, the Inner Region, and the Outer Region!

The Center Region has the smallest land area, roughly the size of a Great Xia, but it also contains the most opportunities; therefore, under normal circumstances, after training cultivators enter, they will head toward the Center Region of the Secret Realm while obtaining opportunities along the way.

The Outer Region of the Secret Realm is exactly the opposite; not only does it have the largest land area, but it also has the fewest opportunities.

Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao recognized that they were in the Outer Region and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that although their situation was dire, because most cultivators would spontaneously head toward the Center Region, they would not encounter righteous or demonic cultivators and face danger while in the Outer Region.

However.

No sooner had Ye Bai and the other breathed a sigh of relief than...
