The Xuan Lei Sect Inner Sect has always been a mysterious existence. Apart from the elders, even the core disciples of the Outer Sect cannot know the location of the Inner Sect. However, today, Sun Zhe finally learned that the Xuan Lei Sect Inner Sect is located underground, right within Beifeng City.
Unlike Aohumen and Crimson Thunder Hall, the Xuan Lei Sect is divided into inner and outer sects, with the Inner Sect being the elite force of the Xuan Lei Sect. The requirements to enter the Inner Sect are extremely strict. Apart from the younger generation of gifted disciples, those who can enter the Inner Sect must at least have the cultivation level of a Five-Star Thunder Master. Otherwise, even if one becomes a Thunder Master, they can only remain in the Outer Sect and hold some positions.
Inside the main hall of the Xuan Lei Sect Inner Sect, a row of young men and women stood quietly. There were ten people in total, each under thirty years old, yet each exuded an extraordinary aura. Their eyes sparkled with brilliance, and their white long robes further accentuated their exceptional demeanor.
As their appearance suggested, these ten individuals were all outstanding figures of the younger generation. Even in the talent-rich environment of the Xuan Lei Sect Inner Sect, they stood out as exceptional talents. Any one of them could be considered a prominent figure in the vast Beifeng City.
Upon closer inspection, Sun Zhe, Shen Yan, and Zhao Ang were among them, while Zhou Hanbin, Zhuang Ruoxuan, and the extremely indifferent Yan Ji were also present. As for the remaining four individuals, Sun Zhe did not recognize them. Based on his guess, they should also be Inner Sect Disciples, but he had not noticed their presence during the Inner Sect Competition.
At this moment, there were only these ten people in the hall. Although they were all outstanding figures of the younger generation from the Xuan Lei Sect, there was still a sense of competition among them as they secretly observed one another.
Among these ten individuals, almost everyone had reached the realm of a Seven Star Thunder Practitioner. Of course, although they were all Seven Star Thunder Practitioners, there were still differences among them. Sun Zhe was already half a foot into the realm of a Thunder Master, far surpassing an ordinary Thunderer. He could almost discern the strength of any typical Thunderer at a glance.
“Zhao Ang and Shen Yan, you’ve just stepped into being a Seven Star Thunder Practitioner not long ago.”
“These four have already stabilized their realm as Seven Star Thunder Practitioners, surpassing both Zhao Ang and Shen Yan.”
“Zhou Hanbin and Zhuang Ruoxuan, both are at the level of a Seven Star Peak Thunder Master.”
“Yan Ji…”
Upon seeing Yan Ji, Sun Zhe's gaze slightly narrowed, his pupils suddenly constricting; he could not see through her cultivation level!
Currently, Sun Zhe was at the boundary between being a Thunderer and a Thunder Master. If he wished to, he could cross into the realm of a Thunder Master in a very short time. However, despite being at such a level, he still could not perceive Yan Ji's cultivation. Could it be that her cultivation level was already on par with his or perhaps even superior?
"Master has arrived..."
A low whisper from an unknown person startled Sun Zhe, who immediately gathered his scattered thoughts and looked up toward the hall's entrance, only to see Fang Yuan in a blue robe striding toward him.
Behind him were two elderly men with pale faces. One was dressed in a black robe, his expression stern and unsmiling, while the other wore a yellow robe, his demeanor contrasting sharply with that of the black-robed elder. The yellow-robed man had a withered face adorned with a warm smile, nodding and smiling at the young disciples in the hall, evoking an inexplicable sense of goodwill.
In a moment, Fang Yuan reached the main seat at the front, while the two elders stood behind him, their gazes sweeping over the ten individuals below.
In a daze, Sun Zhe suddenly felt as if the black-robed elder's gaze was often fixed on him. However, when he looked up, he realized that the black-robed elder was not actually looking at him. This strange feeling made Sun Zhe involuntarily shiver, as if he were being watched by something extremely dangerous, leaving him powerless to escape or resist.
"Today I have gathered everyone here; I believe all of you are prepared," Fang Yuan said seriously from his position at the front.
"I am ready," Sun Zhe replied along with the others upon hearing Fang Yuan's question.
"Although you all have a general understanding of what is happening, our sect will go over the details once more to avoid any mistakes later."
This matter was of great importance, and even Fang Yuan had to treat it with caution.
"The Northern Mang Secret Realm was discovered one hundred thirty years ago by our Xuan Lei Sect's predecessors in collaboration with powerful figures from Aohumen, Crimson Thunder Hall, and three sects from nearby Shencheng. Although the origins of this Northern Mang Secret Realm are unclear, based on our sect's conjectures, it should be the site of a powerful sect from Ancient Times. Due to the passage of time or other reasons, changes occurred in the outer restrictions, which is why there are various limitations for entering."
"As you have been informed, this Northern Mang Secret Realm opens every ten years and allows only sixty people to pass through. Any cultivator above the Thunder Master Realm will be excluded. These sixty spots are traditionally divided among our Six Major Sects, with each sect receiving ten slots. This time, our Xuan Lei Sect's ten representatives are you ten individuals; thus, our sect's hopes rest upon you."
"Each time the secret realm opens, it lasts for six months. This means you will have six months to stay inside. The Northern Mang Secret Realm is extraordinary primarily because its spiritual energy is extremely dense—at least ten times that of the outside world. It is precisely because of this rich spiritual energy that countless precious and rare spiritual herbs grow within. Many ancient medicinal herbs that have gone extinct outside can still be found inside. Additionally, there are many rare treasures once collected by ancient cultivators; although many have already been taken away, numerous remain. As long as you can obtain one or two items, it will undoubtedly enhance your strength significantly."
"Whether it is True Essence of Spirit Medicine or rare treasures, these are not the most important reasons for your sect sending you to this Northern Mang Secret Realm..." At this point, Fang Yuan paused, his eyes suddenly radiating a fierce light. A powerful pressure descended upon the entire hall, causing everyone to feel their breathing quicken. Gazing down at those below him, Fang Yuan slowly continued speaking.
"The most important thing for you is to obtain that item in the Third Floor of the secret realm... Do you understand?"
"The disciples understand." Under Fang Yuan's pressure, everyone felt a weight on their shoulders. Even Sun Zhe couldn't help but flush with embarrassment, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes. Fang Yuan's cultivation level was undoubtedly far beyond that of his master. Even if he hadn't reached the Realm of the Thunder Lord, he was certainly at the peak of Thunder Sovereign. He was also the strongest person Sun Zhe had encountered aside from the mysterious old man who taught him Sword Technique.
Seemingly satisfied with their response, Fang Yuan nodded slightly, his tone easing as he continued,
"Although there are many Spiritual Artifacts and Treasures in the Northern Mang Secret Realm, there are even more ferocious beasts, and numerous dangers lurk within. Every time the secret realm is opened, many people die inside... So once you enter, you must find a way to unite. As long as you obtain that item for the Sect, any request you make will be granted by the Sect..."
As soon as Fang Yuan finished speaking, the many disciples below couldn't help but become excited. The idea that any request could be granted by the Sect without any restrictions was undoubtedly enticing to everyone.
If Fang Yuan's initial words were a threat, then now it was a blatant temptation. Even though those present were all proud talents, they couldn't help but remember his words under Fang Yuan's dual pressure.
Standing below, Sun Zhe looked up and noticed that many people seemed confident and indifferent, as if they completely disregarded the dangers of the Northern Mang Secret Realm. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly. The dangers of the Northern Mang Secret Realm were not just about the beasts; although Sun Zhe had never entered, he understood its horrors deeply from Li Cangyun's accounts. If it weren't for his own purposes, he would never participate.
The so-called ferocious beasts were just one aspect; there were also various prohibitive formations scattered throughout, occasionally appearing evil monsters, along with disciples from the other five major sects. Entering there was indeed fraught with danger.
Sun Zhe had already made up his mind: unless absolutely necessary, he would not take risks. As for obtaining that item from Fang Yuan, he had no intention of doing so whatsoever.
