Chapter 435

After all, the secret realm was full of crises.

The little bit of cultivation he could improve wouldn't be of much use.

On the contrary, his mental power was already very strong.

Just improving the application techniques and control would be a greater boost to his strength.

Having worked so hard for this for so long, he could finally enter the Open Origin Secret Realm.

Everyone who had obtained a spot was very excited on this day.

Almost everyone got up early.

They gathered early at the meeting point—the location of the Open Origin Secret Realm’s gate.

The Open Origin Secret Realm was a secret realm, not a specific location.

So it was clear.

All anyone could see was just the gate of the Open Origin Secret Realm.

What was behind the gate?

That was something hidden in an independent space, invisible and untouchable.

And the gate of the Open Origin Secret Realm was not a gate in the usual sense.

It was a barrier that looked like water ripples.

It’s just that this water-ripple barrier was the color of flames.

When the gate was closed, it felt like it had no temperature.

And one couldn't feel any tactile sensation.

If you closed your eyes and reached out to touch it, you would only feel that there was nothing in front of you.

But this was what it looked like before the gate opened.

After the gate of the Open Origin Secret Realm opened,

the red gate, which had been slightly fluctuating like water ripples, would instantly fluctuate violently.

Like a fiercely burning flame, the temperature would also suddenly rise.

But the rising temperature was limited to the gate.

Around the gate, one couldn't feel any temperature at all.

And the 100 people who had the qualifications to enter the Open Origin Secret Realm,

when crossing the gate of the secret realm,

would not feel any burning sensation.

After all 100 people had entered, the gate would close.

It would return to its previous state of red water ripples.

And it wouldn't burn anyone.

But the prerequisite was that all 100 people who entered met the conditions.

That is, young people under 25.

If anyone over 25 wanted to enter the gate of the Open Origin Secret Realm,

they would be burned to ashes by this terrifying high temperature.

No matter how strong.

Even a powerhouse at the peak of Dao-Proving would be burned to ashes just the same.

This was a real case from the past where a peak Dao-Proving powerhouse entered the Open Origin Secret Realm.

Before this powerhouse could even cross the gate of the Open Origin Secret Realm,

just by having half of their body make contact, they were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Even the other foot of this peak Dao-Proving powerhouse hadn't been lifted yet before it turned to ash.

They couldn't even let out a scream.

And this scene was seen by many powerhouses present at the time.

And since then, no one dared to challenge this rule of the Open Origin Secret Realm.

Instead, they used this rule to select suitable candidates to enter the secret realm to explore and search for opportunities.

The opening and closing of the Open Origin Secret Realm were not controlled by anyone.

When the time came, it would naturally open.

And the opening time of the Open Origin Secret Realm’s gate was at noon, when the sunlight was strongest.

And this point made Qin Feng and the others even more certain.

This Open Origin Secret Realm had a deep connection with the Sunset Empire.

There was no order for entering the Open Origin Secret Realm, and there was no ranking for the 100 of them.

There wasn't much difference between entering early or late.

So when entering the gate of the Open Origin Secret Realm,

Qin Feng, Beigong Yun, and Zhao Long walked in leisurely.

Of course, while they looked leisurely, they were actually very vigilant.

After all, one couldn't rule out the possibility of someone attacking others immediately after entering the Open Origin Secret Realm.

After all, there were always people with holes in their brains.

Just because everyone was a genius of the younger generation didn't mean everyone’s brain was free of holes.

Fortunately, among this batch of geniuses, no one’s brain was that holey.

Upon entering the Open Origin Secret Realm, the full attention of the vast majority of people was attracted by the scenery of the secret realm.

Even Qin Feng and Beigong Shang, who had seen the scenery of the Sunset Empire’s back garden, couldn't help but exclaim.

This was a red world.

The earth under their feet was red, and the sky was red.

The sun hanging in the sky was also red.

The reason people could distinguish which was the sky, which was the ground, and which was the sun

was only because the shades of their red colors were different.

The ground was a dark red like oxidized fresh blood.

The sky was a translucent red.

And the sun was a bright, flame-like red.

The temperature here was also far higher than outside.

The temperature in the air was even as high as 50 degrees.

The ground temperature could also reach sixty or seventy degrees.

If it were ordinary people in such an environment,

they would probably die of dehydration before long.

But they were all cultivators, after all.

Their physical constitution was much stronger than ordinary people, and they had Origin Power to protect their bodies.

So they wouldn't be affected in the short term.

But if it were for too long, it was hard to say.

Qin Feng and Beigong Shang, who had seen similar scenes,

although amazed by the scene, didn't have much of a reaction.

They immediately reacted, calling out to others in the Soul Chain, and took the lead in taking action.

As for the others, most people were amazed for at least dozens of seconds before taking action.

And many others stood in place, clicking their tongues in wonder.

After fussing for several minutes, they finally refocused their attention on exploring the secret realm.

One couldn't blame the people here for being amazed because they hadn't seen such a scene.

After all, the only people who could see such a scene were those who had entered the various mist spaces,

searched for the pass, successfully found the pass, and left the mist space to return here.

And among this group of people, those who also won the martial arts tournament and entered the Open Origin Secret Realm...
