"I am now an honored guest of the Feng Clan!"
Gu Fang spoke frankly, revealing his current status.
"The Feng Clan?"
Upon hearing this name, both Lin Lin and Ye Jiu showed suspicion in their eyes.
However, Zhang Ming and Chu Shan seemed to have some understanding, their faces showing slight changes.
Zhang Ming asked, "Gu Brother, the Feng Clan you've joined, is it the renowned Feng Clan of Zhongzhou?"
"Exactly."
Gu Fang nodded in confirmation.
Curious, Lin Lin asked, "Who exactly is the Feng Clan, and what is their background?"
As a wandering cultivator, his knowledge was limited. Moreover, in the vastness of the Immortal Realm, understanding its full scope was no easy task.
Before Zhang Ming could speak, Chu Shan spoke up first.
"The Feng Clan is an ancient imperial clan. In ancient times, they had an emperor who shook the world."
"Although no second emperor has appeared since the fall of that great emperor, their family's power has remained strong and enduring, producing many outstanding talents."
"In terms of heritage and influence, the Feng Clan can be compared to the Tai Chu Cave Heaven!"
Ancient imperial clan!
Bloodline of a great emperor!
Upon hearing about the Feng Clan's background, Lin Lin's face showed a hint of envy.
"Whether you enter the Tai Chu Cave Heaven or join an ancient imperial clan, it seems like a fish returning to water. Chu Brother also possesses an immortal body. I wonder which top sect or family you've recently joined?"
Among the five, only Ye Jiu lacked a special physique.
Seeing that both Zhang Ming and Gu Fang had already joined top-notch forces, and Chu Shan possessed an immortal body, he was certainly not ordinary.
As expected...
Before Lin Lin could finish speaking, Chu Shan revealed without any concealment, "I am now a direct disciple of the War God Palace. Similar to the Feng Clan, the War God Palace is also one of the top sects in Zhongzhou, and thousands of years ago, it also produced a great emperor."
"During his time, that emperor led the War God Palace to its peak. Even after his fall, he left behind imperial artifacts that protect the foundation of the palace."
"I heard that this great emperor once possessed the Ancient Savage Immortal Body, which coincidentally matches with my own. Therefore, I chose to join the War God Palace and become a direct disciple."
Upon hearing this, the other four looked at Chu Shan with envy.
Although the forces that Zhang Ming and Gu Fang had joined were not inferior to the War God Palace, neither of their sects possessed a great emperor who had the Ancient Savage Immortal Body like the War God Palace did.
In comparison...
Since the War God Palace once had a great emperor with the Ancient Savage Immortal Body presiding over it, it was clear that the palace had a complete heritage of a great emperor.
Now that Chu Shan also possessed the Ancient Savage Saint Body, he would undoubtedly be highly valued after joining the palace.
With the abundant resources of a great emperor-level sect nurturing him, Chu Shan had a high possibility of breaking through to the sixth rank and even higher realms.
Zhang Ming sighed lightly, "I originally thought that entering the Tai Chu Cave Heaven was a stroke of luck. I never expected Chu Brother to join a sect with the heritage of the Ancient Savage Immortal Body. It's truly a deep fortune!"
"It's all due to luck."
Chu Shan responded with a faint smile.
Zhang Ming didn't say anything more, getting straight to the point, "The opening of the Saint's Secret Realm is imminent, in about ten days. Before we enter, we need to exchange a team messaging token to ensure everything goes smoothly."
"Before entering the secret realm, we will temporarily conceal our whereabouts. We'll use the team format to communicate once inside."
"From what I know, although there are many top forces participating in this secret realm, there are no true immortals or higher-level cultivators involved. This is a significant advantage. With the strength of the five of us, even if we encounter a perfect fifth-rank powerhouse, we'll have a chance to defeat them!"
Except for Ye Jiu, the other four all had special physiques.
Now that even Chu Shan had stepped into the early stage of the fifth rank, they were not afraid to face a perfect fifth-rank opponent in one-on-one combat.
If the five of them joined forces, they could even kill a perfect fifth-rank powerhouse.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed without any objection.
Because the team's internal messaging token also required a value of five million offerings, each person contributed one million offerings to exchange for the token together.
Thus...
The five-person team was officially formed.
Lin Lin sighed softly, "We've already spent two million offerings before setting off. Let's hope the Saint's Secret Realm lives up to expectations; otherwise, this loss will be significant!"
Two million offerings were a huge sum for him.
In order to exchange for the fifth-rank cultivation techniques of the Great Dao Immortal Body, Lin Lin was now cutting back on expenses and striving to accumulate offerings.
However...
The cultivation techniques of the fifth rank of the Great Dao Immortal Body required five billion offerings to exchange. It was not easy to gather such a huge sum of offerings.
Therefore, Lin Lin was particularly concerned about the Saint's Secret Realm.
Zhang Ming comforted him, saying, "Lin Brother, don't worry. After all, the Saint's Secret Realm is a seventh-rank secret realm with countless treasures. If we can present all these treasures to the Heavenly Court Chat Group, offerings will surely come rolling in."
"Recovering the investment alone won't be difficult."
"If we can find a Saint's inheritance and present it to the Heavenly Court, the value of the offerings obtained will be immeasurable!"
Seventh-rank inheritance!
Zhang Ming deeply believed in its priceless value.
Even if it was an exotic cultivation technique, the Heavenly Court would accept it. However, each cultivation technique could only be offered once; if someone had already offered it, offering it again would be invalid.
Yet, Zhang Ming firmly believed that no one could currently offer a Saint's cultivation technique. If such a cultivation technique could be found and offered, the gains would be unimaginable.
Zhang Ming's words lifted everyone's spirits.
This was the charm of the seventh-rank secret realm.
No one knew how many treasures were hidden within. Once obtained, they would surely rise to great heights.
Afterwards...
The group discussed briefly, and Zhang Ming left. Lin Lin, Gu Fang, and the others stayed in the city, waiting quietly for Zhang Ming's notification.
At this moment, the internal messaging token among the team had been used. If anything happened, they could communicate directly through the team chat interface.
Moreover, each teammate's coordinates were displayed on the map, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
...
Ten days passed in a hurry.
On this night, somewhere in the Immortal Realm, a spiritual light suddenly shot up into the sky, illuminating the night as bright as day, with vast pressure sweeping across the land, shocking all the powerful beings in the world.
Tai Chu Cave Heaven.
As the spiritual light appeared suddenly, the entire cave heaven shook instantly. The Peak Masters of the East Peak, West Peak, South Peak, North Peak, and the symbolic main peak, all the talented disciples were fully prepared, driving their immortal boats swiftly towards the location of the anomaly.
The leader of this expedition was the Peak Master of the East Peak, Yin Hong. Accompanying him were outstanding disciples from all five peaks, each exuding a powerful aura, all having reached the realm of True Immortal Perfection.
