"Whoosh whoosh!"

Gu Chenfeng and Nalan Ziye flew on their swords towards Sumeru Mountain.

Along the way, Nalan Ziye curiously asked, "Brother Feng, you just broke through to the Middle Stage of Soul Emergence yesterday, when did you break through to the later stage again? This is unbelievable!"

Upon hearing this.

Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said, "I have to thank your grandfather for that."

"My grandfather?" Nalan Ziye was momentarily surprised, then quickly realized and said, "My grandfather's ice attribute!"

"That's right!" Gu Chenfeng nodded and smiled, "Your grandfather's Ice Attribute, due to years of erosion, became very powerful. I am an Ice Attribute myself and can absorb it directly, so I broke through so quickly."

"I see." Nalan Ziye finally understood.

Even though she understood the reason, she was still incredibly shocked in her heart.

Even if Gu Chenfeng could absorb directly, breaking through cultivation so quickly is astonishing.

It's something that would be impossible for others.

"By the way, Sister Nalan," Gu Chenfeng asked in confusion, "Your grandfather's Ice Attribute isn't simple, he should be a powerhouse at the Tribulation Stage. What's going on?"

In the past nine lives, besides Ling Qiushui and the Ice Phoenix, Gu Chenfeng had not seen other Ice Attribute Cultivators.

An Ice Attribute Cultivator at the Tribulation Stage, their power would be exceedingly fearsome.

"I don't know either." Nalan Ziye shook her head, "We don't know where my grandfather went; he returned severely injured, and only then did we discover the outbreak of Cold Poison."

"No enemies came looking for him?" Gu Chenfeng asked.

"No." Nalan Ziye shook her head.

Gu Chenfeng smiled mildly, "It seems I was overthinking."

Nalan Ziye looked helpless and then urgently said, "Let's not talk about this; we should hurry, Ke'Er and the others must be getting anxious."

"Did you make plans with others?" Gu Chenfeng asked in slight surprise.

"Yes." Nalan Ziye chuckled softly, "I don't dare go alone, and my grandfather said that my cultivation is too weak to go deep, only to stay on the outskirts."

"Let's speed up; Ke'Er and the others must have arrived."

Ten minutes later.

The two flew and arrived at Sumeru Mountain.

Not only the two of them, but many other strong cultivators were also arriving at this moment.

The Secret Realm of Sumeru Mountain opens once every hundred thousand years.

Gu Chenfeng was reborn for the ninth time, encountering it only in this life.

Thus, Gu Chenfeng wasn't familiar with the Sumeru Mountain Secret Realm.

Soon after entering Sumeru Mountain.

Nalan Ziye sensed Ke'Er's presence and chuckled softly, "I can sense them, Ke'Er and three others have arrived, follow me."

"Who are they?" Gu Chenfeng asked curiously.

Nalan Ziye smiled lightly, "They are senior disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect in the Sumeru Realm, also at the Soul Emergence Stage."

Gu Chenfeng asked again, "How strong is the Purple Cloud Sect?"

"Very strong." Nalan Ziye smiled, "Stronger than my Nalan Family, the Sect Leader of the Purple Cloud Sect is a powerhouse at the Early Stage of Crossing Tribulation and has successfully passed the Three-Nine Celestial Tribulation."

Ten minutes later.

The two had ventured into the depths of Sumeru Mountain.

Nalan Ziye led Gu Chenfeng to a mountain peak.

At this moment.

Numerous summits surrounded by the towering mountains were filled with many strong cultivators.

Gu Chenfeng glanced around, frowning, "Even Tribulation Stage powerhouses have come, it seems the Sumeru Mountain Secret Realm holds incredible treasures."

Nalan Ziye whispered, "Brother Feng, they are all strong cultivators from powerful sects and families. Don't provoke them in the Secret Realm, and don't compete with them for treasures; prioritizing survival is crucial."

"Understood." Gu Chenfeng nodded.

"Brother Feng, with your significant background, why didn't you bring any strong cultivators?" Nalan Ziye asked puzzled.

Gu Chenfeng shrugged and smiled, "I don't like them tagging along."

"Okay." Nalan Ziye shook her head helplessly.

On the mountain peak.

Seeing Nalan Ziye, a woman in white smiled happily, "Ziye! You finally arrived! We thought you were not coming."

"Something came up, delaying me a bit." Nalan Ziye laughed, "Brother Feng, let me introduce you. This is Yang Ke'Er, the senior disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, this is Jiang Yun, another senior disciple, and this is Qin Hao, also a senior disciple."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and cupped his fists in greeting.

Nalan Ziye continued, "Ke'Er, this is my friend, Gu Chenfeng."

"Hello." Yang Ke'Er gave Gu Chenfeng a sweet smile.

"Miss Ziye, you're bringing a greenhorn into the Secret Realm; aren't you afraid he won't make it back?" Jiang Yun smirked, his words carrying a hint of contempt.

"This lad probably hasn't even broken through to the Golden Core, right?" Qin Hao laughed, "Kid, once we're in the Secret Realm, you'd better stick close. If a demon beast snatches you away, we can't save you."

Upon hearing these words, Nalan Ziye's face instantly turned cold.

Nalan Ziye retorted displeased, "Who says he won't come back?"

Yang Ke'Er glared fiercely at the two, rebuking, "Nobody treats you as mutes when you don't speak; if you can't say anything nice, then shut up!"

The two obediently closed their mouths, not daring to act up in front of their senior sister.

Yang Ke'Er then looked at Gu Chenfeng and smiled gently, "Little brother, they're just blunt. Don't take it to heart."

"It's alright." Gu Chenfeng shook his head slightly.

Yang Ke'Er continued to smile, "The Secret Realm will open in half an hour; just be patient."

Gu Chenfeng asked curiously, "Where is the entrance to the Secret Realm?"

"You don't even know where the Secret Realm entrance is?" Jiang Yun couldn't help but taunt, "I wonder why you're here. Are you looking for..."

Before Jiang Yun could finish his sentence, Yang Ke'Er shot him a fierce glare, scaring him into immediate silence.

Nalan Ziye pointed to the sky and said, "Brother Feng, that's where the entrance to the Secret Realm is. When it opens, a Teleportation Array will appear, and once we enter it, we'll be transported inside."

"So there's a whole other world." Gu Chenfeng looked skyward, ignoring Jiang Yun's mockery.

Yang Ke'Er slightly solemnly said, "This is our first time as well; everything we know about the Secret Realm comes from ancient texts. It's very dangerous; we must be extremely cautious."

Just then.

A figure appeared, smiling faintly, "Ke'Er, I could accompany you all and guarantee your safety."

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Yun and Qin Hao's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with apprehension.

"Thanks for the offer, but we can handle it on our own." Yang Ke'Er frowned slightly, "We appreciate your concern."

Nalan Ziye whispered to Gu Chenfeng, "Brother Feng, you must know of the Yin Yang Family, right? He is Yinyang Shiqing, a member of the Yin Yang Family. Whatever you do, don't offend him."

"The Yin Yang Family?" Gu Chenfeng was slightly surprised.

Gu Chenfeng never expected the Yin Yang Family, one of the three great cultivation families in the Cultivation Realm, to be here.

Yinyang Shiqing smiled lightly, "Even so, I won't insist. But, Miss Ke'Er, if you need anything, just let me know. With me here, no one would dare harm you."
