The one who spoke was the Heavenly Dragon Lord.
As soon as his words fell, all the participants in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition suddenly turned their gazes toward the vortex passage, which was emitting waves of spatial fluctuations.
Their expressions were filled with excitement.
After briefly announcing the rules to Su Jingzhen and the other participants once more, the Heavenly Dragon Lord and his companions stepped aside.
Immediately, a number of young people from the Four Waters Region rushed towards the Vortex Gate.
The moment they reached the entrance of the passage, a suction force pulled them in, and they vanished.
When they reappeared, they were already in the Divine Source Secret Realm.
“Pity, if Master and Mistress were here this time, no one in this secret realm could stand against them with their combined strength.
Even Xuan Jin would probably be no match for Master.”
When Su Jingzhen saw the crowd surging forward, he couldn’t help but sigh once again.
The age limit for this competition was within five hundred years.
In the cultivation world, anyone under a thousand years old was considered young, so five hundred years was not a problem at all.
At this age, Shen Yifeng had already reached the Ascendant level of martial prowess.
Moreover, he had long since broken through to the Middle Nascent Soul stage, and his combat strength had likely improved even further.
If he were to participate, it would be like entering the Divine Kingdom, a dimensional advantage.
“Forget it, although Senior Shen can also be considered young, the people here are probably just like children to him.
Why would he have any interest in participating?
Let’s go in now; don’t drag it out to the last minute.”
When Qiu Yaoyao said this, Xuening’s expression became complex again.
“Big Brother Su, Sister Yaoyao, maybe I won’t go in this time.
With my strength, I might just be a burden.”
Xuening’s cultivation was only at the Soul Formation stage, which was quite weak.
In terms of combat power, she was likely the weakest in the group.
She could already imagine that if she entered the secret realm, she would directly slow down Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao’s progress.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jingzhen grabbed her hand.
“Don’t say such stupid things. Didn’t you hear what the Heavenly Dragon Lord said? This Four Waters Martial Arts Competition will last for two months.
There might be countless Heavenly Treasures here. When the time comes, you can refine elixirs for us, which is an important contribution.
And do you not trust Big Brother Su and Sister Yaoyao to protect you?”
Su Jingzhen’s voice was authoritative yet gentle.

Xuening was taken aback for a moment, and then the points arrived.
As soon as he said this, Qiu Yaoyao smiled again.
Without hesitation, she led Su Jingzhen and the others directly toward the Vortex Passage.
Standing at the entrance of the Vortex Gate, Su Jingzhen’s figure was immediately pulled in as he felt the spatial suction.
At that instant, he instinctively turned his head to look at the prominent positions in the center of the square, where he saw a woman in white smiling at him. He was somewhat confused.
However, there was no time to think, and he was pulled directly into the Divine Source Secret Realm.
Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao had already started moving, and the people around them, such as Xuan Su, Jian Ling, and others, did not hesitate to follow them and enter the Divine Source Secret Realm.
Half an hour later, a large number of people from the Four Waters region had entered the Divine Source Secret Realm.
They were all the best of the major powers in the region.
At this moment, a huge array resembling a mirror was instantly activated in the sky above the square.
Numerous images appeared on it, all showing the participants in the Divine Source Secret Realm.
If Su Jingzhen were still outside and saw this, he would surely marvel at how much better this was than the surveillance systems of his previous life.
Not only real-time images, but also real-time tracking.
Technology really couldn’t compare with cultivation.
Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to the images of the people they cared about.
“I said before that if you could come to me, I would give you true enlightenment.
You have indeed come, faster than I expected, and you are even more outstanding than I imagined.
Maybe the enlightenment I planned to give you is not enough for you.
But I want to see how far you have come.”
At this moment, looking at the image of Su Jingzhen, the woman in white on the central viewing platform was silently thinking to herself.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
…
After entering the Divine Source Secret Realm, Su Jingzhen and the other three stayed together.
Earlier, Su Jingzhen had been worried that they might be accidentally separated as they passed through the passage, but now that worry was unnecessary.
“The spiritual energy here is truly abundant, even more so than at Sister Yaoyao’s estate.
Even if we just cultivate here for two months, it will be worth it”.
After landing in the Divine Source Secret Realm, Yan Xia was the first to express her thoughts.
She was a Water Spirit Saint Body, and her perception of spiritual energy was more sensitive than others.
Her tone was full of joy.
Although Qiu Yaoyao was also entering the Divine Source Secret Realm for the first time, she seemed to have more information about it than the others.
“Let’s go. We should still be in the outer region of the Divine Source Secret Realm.
It’s extremely difficult for Divine Source to appear here.
If you can obtain a Divine Source, you’ll only realize the true meaning of enlightenment after absorbing it,”
As she spoke, Qiu Yaoyao’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
Before coming here, Su Jingzhen and the others had already learned that Divine Source was a specialty of the Divine Source Secret Realm.
They were a mysterious form of energy that body cultivators, spirit cultivators, and qi cultivators could all directly absorb.
They were of great benefit to one’s cultivation.
Each time a Divine Source was absorbed, it would leave a mark on one’s body.
After two months, the number of marks would determine one’s rank.
Of course, many people would be reluctant to absorb the Divine Sources.
By taking them out, each Divine Source would be invaluable and could be exchanged for something they needed more.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen looked at the tokens given to him by the three goddesses.
Jian Ling’s token was a small jade sword, Han Qianxue’s was an ice-blue token, and Xuan Su’s was a small white flower that did not seem to be made of metal or stone, and its material was unknown.
At this moment, the three tokens were emitting a faint spiritual energy.
Clearly, Su Jingzhen just needed to infuse divine consciousness into them in order to contact the three women.
It might not work in other places, but in the Divine Source Secret Realm, it should be effective.
Su Jingzhen did not rush to use them. Ning Yao was with Xuan Su, and he was very reassured.
Therefore, their small team only needed four people, which was enough.
More people would make it difficult for them to distribute the Divine Sources they had obtained.
“Sister Yaoyao, wait, I smell a strange fragrance, as if some heavenly treasure is about to appear.”
Before Su Jingzhen and the others had traveled a hundred miles, Xuening suddenly said this.
Her expression was somewhat excited, and they immediately stopped and looked at her curiously.
Then her gaze suddenly turned to a foggy forest in front of them.
The spiritual energy in the Divine Source Secret Realm was extremely abundant, and the scenery was quite beautiful. The mist-covered forest looked like a kind of earthly paradise.
As they approached this area, they realized that the spiritual energy here was indeed many times more concentrated than where they had landed.
Their expressions immediately became excited.
“Judging from the concentration of spiritual energy, there might be one or two Divine Sources here.”
Although it was her first time participating, Qiu Yaoyao seemed to have deep experience in this regard.
The four of them entered the forest directly.
The strange scent that Xuening had mentioned could now be smelled by Su Jingzhen and the others as well.
“It’s right in front of us!”
Xuening became even more excited and led the way.
She seemed to have a more sensitive perception of such herbs and medicines than Su Jingzhen and the others.
However, during this process, the Tribulation Realm aura around Qiu Yaoyao suddenly rose.
Qiu Yaoyao was now at the mid Tribulation stage, approaching the late Tribulation stage.
Her combat power was close to that of the Celestial Being Realm. If she added the contracted spirit beasts in her Flame Spirit Beast Bag, she might even be able to dominate the Celestial Being Realm.
The thirteen human secret repositories in Su Jingzhen’s body also surged with energy.
Blood energy flowed through each meridian, ready to deal with any unexpected events.
In the Divine Source Secret Realm, in addition to the Divine Sources, there were also dangers.
Many people had died in previous Four Waters Martial Arts competitions.
Although killing was not encouraged in the Divine Source Secret Realm, it was not prohibited either.
As a result, any genius could face unexpected situations here.
As Su Jingzhen and the others moved deeper into the forest, most of the spectators outside turned their attention to them.
“Did they find a heavenly treasure so quickly? Or have they discovered the fluctuations of a divine source?”
“They seem to have a clear goal, so maybe they found something good.
The Divine Source Secret Realm is truly a unique place. It’s too bad that bone age is detected at the entrance, otherwise I would really want to go in and see for myself.”
“I wonder what kind of treasure is hidden in this forest.”

“…”
The spectators followed Su Jingzhen and the others as they went deeper into the forest.
As they continued to advance, the strange scent became even more intense.
The next moment, a three-colored light suddenly appeared in the thin mist.
They saw a flower that emitted purple, green, and red colors swaying in the wind.
The flower was not tall, only about a foot, and not big, only about the size of a fist.
But at first sight, it was impossible to look away.
It looked like a dreamy, misty scene, as if one would be drawn into it if they looked for a moment longer.
“This… this is the Guiding Divine Flower!”
After a brief moment of confusion, Xuening’s face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Su Jingzhen, Qiu Yaoyao, and Yan Xia all looked at her.
They had no idea what this flower was, and had never even heard its name.
“Xuening, is this thing very valuable?”
Su Jingzhen asked Xuening instinctively.
Her excitement was obvious.
Before she could speak, a line of golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

Three consecutive hits.
At this moment, Xuening seemed to force herself to calm down before continuing, “It’s called Guiding Divine Flower. It blooms in special locations, and besides being an extremely rare and advanced medicinal ingredient, its most important function is to guide people to the most divine things in the area.
Since we are in the Divine Source Secret Realm, this Guiding Divine Flower can also be called the Divine Source Flower!”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen and the others were momentarily stunned.
Yan Xia instinctively replied, “Little Sister Xuening, are you saying that this flower is actually a condensed Divine Source?
While Su Jingzhen and the others were stunned, the spectators on the observation deck had the same doubts.
However, there were also many respected elders from Zhongzhou present.
A white-haired old man’s eyes showed a hint of excitement.
He explained loudly, “These four young people truly have heavenly luck.
With this Guiding Divine Flower, all the Divine Sources in the Divine Source Secret Realm will be visible to them.
As its name suggests, the Guiding Divine Flower guides people to find the Divine Sources in the Divine Source Secret Realm.
As long as there is a Divine Source, they will have a sense of it.
From now on they will no longer wander aimlessly. Wherever they go, they won’t come back empty-handed.
In two months, it’s hard to imagine anyone finding Divine Sources as easily as they will.
Getting a Guiding Divine Flower at the beginning can be described in one word: invincible!”
Hearing the old man’s words, everyone present was suddenly shocked.
“Having this thing, wouldn’t it be like cheating?”
Especially for the older cultivators with disciples participating in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition, their brows suddenly furrowed.
Receiving this flower at the beginning directly disturbed the balance of this competition, and they naturally felt uncomfortable.
“However, the more Divine Sources they get, the deeper the marks will be after absorption.
Someone will surely come after them. After all, the strongest of the four is only Qiu Yaoyao, who is at the mid Tribulation stage.
With this Guiding Divine Flower, it could be a blessing or a curse for them.”
“In fact, even if they have a smooth start, they will face great challenges later on.”
“…”
The audience discussed this.
However, the white-clad woman in the middle and the Heavenly Dragon Lord had a look of anticipation.
“I hope you can continue to perform miracles, kid.”
At this moment, Su Jingzhen and the others naturally had no idea what the spectators outside were thinking.
After listening to Xuening’s explanation, they understood its greatest function.
When they looked at the Guiding Divine Flower again, their eyes were filled with boundless light.
While they were talking, Xuening had already approached the Guiding Divine Flower.
She put on a pair of extremely thin ice silk gloves, as if she was afraid that her aura would destroy the flower’s divinity.
She was about to start collecting it.
At this moment, however, the forest suddenly shook.
A powerful aura condensed around them.
