"We will follow the Saint Lord’s arrangements." Replied nearly all the cultivators in unison, their voice echoing throughout the secret realm.
Tian Yongheng was silent for a moment before nodding as all the other Human Immortals gave their approval as well.
Even if the demonic forces are powerful, I don’t think they can match neither the high end nor the low end combat power of the righteous path, the righteous path has developed for way longer, specially the Kunlun Divine Mountain. If just Kunlun wants to, they can probably easily eliminate all the demonic forces by themselves, but they choose not to.
I fear all of this may not be as simple as it seems...
At this moment, Tian Yongheng turned his gaze towards the Saint Lord, only to found the latter already staring his way. Both of them just remained in their place, motionless before reaching a tacit understanding. No Divine Sense or voice transmission was used, it was a purely expression based conversation.
...He’s hiding something.
Tian Yongheng concluded silently in his heart. He then looked at the other Human Immortals.
Despite there also being no emotions on their faces, he understood that quite a few of them also realized that something was wrong and even gave him a discreet nod.
It’s almost as if... they’re all afraid of talking about it openly like this. And not even the Divine Sense can be used to communicate in this situation.
What could it be..?
Despite having a guess, Tian Yongheng temporarily put this thought aside as he looked up and saw the Saint Lord waving his hand before beginning to speak, "Alright then, let’s discuss our strategies, roles, and various other necessary arrangements."
There were tens of thousands of factions just in a single continent alone, with the total number of powers exceeding a hundred thousand throughout the entire Second Great Mortal World, including those small pieces of land scattered across the Pristine Waters aside from the Five Continents.
The level of all these factions varied from one to another, and to make meticulous plans, they had to assign each faction leader present here their role and responsibility.
Most of these powers were below the level of Golden Core Realm, so there wasn’t much they needed to analyze as their responsibilities were only within the secular world and the low levels of the cultivation world which they were capable of handling.
However, starting from the Golden Core Realm, it would only get more complicated the higher the level of a power.
Tian Yongheng realized that it might take months or even years for this meeting to finish. But he wasn’t in a hurry either. He just hoped that Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi don’t cause too much trouble for him in this period of time.
Perhaps by the time they were done here, his true body might already be halfway through the Ninth Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm. He believed his strength would undergo a tremendous change once he attained the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Even if it wasn’t on the same level as the Sword Venerable, it probably won’t be an issue to fight against all the Human Immortals in the entire Mortal World alone at that time.
At this moment, his gaze suddenly landed on the person sitting across him. He was also looking at Tian Yongheng right now, and the two of them just stared at eachother for a couple of seconds.
Two crimson red gazes locked together, making it seem like they were having a mental battle without the use of Divine Sense or Spiritual Energy.
So, it’s him...
Tian Yongheng realized who this person was without even checking his identity with the system.
The Heaven Ascending Monarch, current head of the Great Tian Immortal Family, the most formidable genius the Tian Family has produced in the past million years, and also one of the main instigators behind the annihilation of Tian Yongheng’s family.
Tian Shenming!
...
6 months later.
In a secret realm within the Heavenly Region where towering mountains floated in the air with waterfalls flowing down, countless Spirit Beasts, heavenly treasures, and earthly materials could be seen occasionally. Surrounded by a transparent, ethereal mist, the entire secret realm expanding to over a hundred thousand miles was like a paradise of Immortals and Gods mentioned in the ancient myths.
In the vast skies above, a small flying ship swiftly moved over the landscape, two people standing on its helm.
These two were none other than Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi.
They had finally found this secret realm after 6 months with the help of Yan Jingfei’s memories. The entire Heavenly Region was incredibly vast, and even with Yan Jingfei’s memories of the previous timeline, it was very difficult to locate this secret realm which continously moved around the spacetime of the Heavenly Region, hidden in a pocket dimension.
"So this is a secret realm... Senior sister, how does a secret realm operate, and how is it different from the outside world?" Jian Qi asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
This was the first time he had come into contact with the outside world, and also the first time he was visiting a secret realm. There were naturally many things he did not know and was curious about.
Hearing his question, Yan Jingfei smiled softly before explaining, "A secret realm is a sub dimension or small world usually created by powerful cultivators for various reasons, such as accommodating treasures, their faction, arrange trials for juniors etcetera. Sometimes they are also left behind as a form of inheritance. These type of secret realms operate on the residual power of the cultivator who created it or the certain treasure they used to create it.
Other types of secret realms include those that have been formed by natural means or some other inexplicable phenomenon. The only difference is that these type of secret realms rely on the power of their world to operate. Secret realms can and can not have restrictions, it depends on many factors.
How a secret realm is seperate from the outside world completely depends on how it was created. Most naturally formed secret realms exist outside of the laws of the outside world, such kind of secret realms, they can only be created by a cultivator of at least the Void Refinement Realm and above. Secret realms that still reside within the outside world and are just hidden somewhere are rarely naturally formed, instead, they are most of the time created by cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm.
Junior brother, if you ever go out to explore secret realms, you must always remember to collect as much information about it as possible. From the highest cultivation level allowed inside to the origins of the secret realm, they can all come in handy and even save your life someday."
Jian Qi quickly nodded, expressing his understanding.

It had been less than 300 years since he began cultivating, and he had already attained the later stages of Acquired Realm. Give him a few more decades, and he would be able to successfully enter the Innate Realm.
After that, the Golden Core Realm was just around the corner. At that time, he would have to go out of the Eternal Peak alone to experience the world. Obtaining useful information before heading out was undoubtedly a good thing.
At this moment, Yan Jingfei’s expression changed slightly as the flying ship abruptly stopped in midair.
She slowly turned around, a cold glint flashing past her eyes, "Don’t you think you’ve been trailing behind for long enough?"
Her voice echoed through hundreds of miles with the Spiritual Energy enhancement.
Jian Qi was startled and hurriedly turned around, spreading out his Divine Sense but found nothing. His Divine Sense wasn’t too strong, and it’s limit was only around 50 miles right now.
"Senior sister...—"
However, before he could say anything, his Divine Sense finally caught someone entering its range.
I can’t sense this person’s cultivation base, and judging by their unfathomable aura far surpassing even the elder disciples of the Innate Realm at the Eternal Peak, I’m afraid they are at least in the Golden Core Realm!
There’s a chance they might even be a Void Refinement Realm great cultivator!
Even with senior sister who’s also a Void Refinement Realm cultivator here, this person is quite bold, not even bothering to hide their presence and directly jumping out.
Jian Qi’s expression turned solemn, a sharp Sword Intent slowly emerging on his body. If there was a conflict later, he may not be of any help, but he could at least ensure that he wouldn’t become a burden for his senior sister.
Suddenly, another voice resounded from all directions simultaneously, making it difficult to decipher its origins.
"As expected, I can’t hide from someone as exceptional as you, the eldest senior sister of the Eternal Peak and the eldest disciple of the Eternal Lord."
As soon as the voice fell, countless lights rose into the sky in a radius of ten miles, spreading out like a vast net, encircling Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi.
This was a top tier Imprisonment Array Formation, the Light Concealing Heavenly Net Formation!
