Mountains stretched into the far horizon, and ancient trees towered into the sky.


    The Deva Secret Realm was extremely vast and littered with all sorts of scenery such as swamps, deserts, mountain ranges andkes. It was like a little world of its own.


    Lin Xun and the others cautiously and vigntly made their way through the mountains and forests.


    The area was riddled with dangers and many unknown creatures. Inconspicuous ancient trees could turn into terrifying beings the next second and devour those passing by.


    Nests glowed brightly on mountain rocks and seemed to house precious treasures, but anyone who approached the nests would suffer attacks from savage birds.


    Giant snakes hung down valleys and mountains like huge vines, their scales producing a cold, iridescent sheen.


    In addition, purple spiders with green fangs, colorful centipedes over ten feet long, and vicious insects as tall as a human would appear from time to time.


    Every creature was terrifying and dangerous. Cultivators could suffer a great cmity if they stepped into their territories.


    They were the indigenous creatures of the secret realm and had be extinct in the outside world. The thought of them each upying an area of the secret realm was chilling enough.


    Lin Xun and the others cautiously navigated the area, but even so, they still alerted a terrifying existence.


    It was a butterfly around the size of a palm leaf. Its eyes were jade green like the burning will-o''-the-wisp, and its wings emitted a dazzling multicolor glow.


    It didn’t look particrly ferocious and even seemed strangely beautiful, but it was more vicious than any other creature they had ever seen before.


    If Toady hadn’t reacted quickly and avoided the area, they would have died already.


    They even suspected the peculiar butterfly to be at the Life Death Stage!


    Boom!


    The butterfly couldn’t ept the fact that Lin Xun and the others managed to flee from it, so it beat its wings and whipped up a colorful storm.


    It swept across the world with a rumble, tearing and crushing mountains and the ground as it passed. Even the air whimpered from the chaos.


    From afar, the butterfly resembled a king standing tall between the heavens and earth. It looked gorgeous with dazzling multicolor lights flowing around its body, but when it pped its wings, it could cause world-shattering destruction!


    It was too terrifying!


    If not for their timely response, Lin Xun and the others would have died.


    Moreover, the storm that the butterfly created rmed a nearby azure fox. It jumped out and howled with discontent.


    Boom!


    The azure fox spirit breathed out a ray of sacred moonlight andunched it at the butterfly.


    A fierce battle suddenly broke out. The terrifying power and impact sent a shudder through the world.


    “Those are definitely two monster beasts at the Life Death Stage King level!” Toady inhaled sharply.


    “Run!”


    Lin Xun bolted with all his strength without even taking another look at the earthshaking battle.


    He was reminded of the Golden Winged Dapeng and the giant serpent he hade across in the depths of the desert. They were equally as terrifying.


    “The Deva Secret Realm is incredibly dangerous. Powerful monster beasts lie everywhere. It would be hard to believe it if one hasn’t seen it with their own eyes.”


    Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan found the Deva Secret Realm too extraordinary. Its origin was unknown, and it couldn’t just be a legacy of the Deva.


    “I’ve been to the Five Elements Holy Ind…” Lin Xun recounted his experiences with Zhao Jingxuan and discussed them with her.


    “Before I went to Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, I have also been to several ces of opportunity, all of which were imbued with Saint aura, simr to the Five Elements Holy Ind you mentioned. However, other ns have already upied those ces, so I don’t know what is hidden there.”


    Lin Xun palpitated. It turned out that there are many ces of opportunities simr to the Five Elements Holy Ind in the Deva Secret Realm!


    “You don’t need to keep guessing. I already know what kind of ce this is.”


    Toady’s brilliant golden eyes zed with wild excitement. “It is a ce to impart Dao. It is a cultivationnd prepared by Saints of ancient times for their descendants. They hoped their descendants could surpass them one day and create new legends!”


    His voice trembled with emotions. “It requiredrge-scale efforts! If my guess is right, the creator of the secret realm isn’t one person, but a Saint King. He led a group of saints to jointly create the secret realm! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the secret realm to survive millions of years to this day!”


    “Heavens, this is the Return Dominion, one of the four great dao dominions, but they managed to open up a secret realm in such a forbidden and terrifying ce to create opportunities for their future generation. Therge-scale effort to do so is simply unbelievable!”


    Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan exchanged a nce with one another, inwardly astonished.


    In ancient times, a Saint King led a group of saints to Return Dominion to open up a secret realm and prepare a cultivationnd for their descendants. They hoped that they could surpass them when they were born and create new legends…


    That would be too shocking if it was true.


    Why would they do that?


    Could it be that they foresaw something so they decided to arrange a path for their descendants to not let them repeat their mistakes?


    The more they thought about it, the more shocking it was. The Saints of ancient times were frightening. They made preparations and set up paths for their descendants when they encountered a tricky problem.


    “Do you remember the Little Young Master you spoke about? He must be the descendant of a Saint. You took away his blessings, so he won’t let you off when he emerges. The descendants of Saints are all mighty little monsters with heaven-defying strengths!” Toady smiled gloatingly.


    “Oh?” Lin Xun raised his eyebrow. “I hope hees to find me so I can get thest part of the Saint Dao Scripture from him.”


    “Are you not afraid?” Toady’s eyes widened.


    “What do you think?” Lin Xun again pped Toady on the back of his head.


    Toady winced and looked annoyed.


    “In that case, hidden on Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain may be and of opportunity left by a Saint King?” asked Zhao Jingxuan, her clear eyes filled with a strange expression.


    “Indeed.” Toady nodded. “But you must be very careful because the descendants of the Saint King might also be there. Such characters are terrifying. It will no doubt be dangerous to get your fingers into their opportunities!”


    “If that’s the case, I would rather give up this opportunity,” Zhao Jingxuan stated. “After all, the consequences of being entangled with a descendant of a Saint King are serious.”


    However, before Lin Xun could speak, Toady cried out anxiously, “You’re not going? We’re already here! How can we return empty-handed? I don’t care about any Saint King descendants. Anyway, I was just specting. It might not be true. Don’t be scared.”


    Lin Xunughed. The treasure-greedy toad would do anything for treasures.


    “I am serious. Do you know what a ce of imparting dao is? In short, the mes of a burning piece of firewood will be passed on from generation to generation, growing and multiplying without end. Regardless of how amazing the Saints were, they had all died in ancient times. How can their descendants keep all the opportunities and treasures to themselves?” Toady assumed a solemn expression. “That’s the so-called fate. If we are the first to snatch the opportunity, then it means it doesn’t belong to the descendants.”


    It seemed Toady was determined to seize the opportunity.


    Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were speechless.


    In truth, they were also reluctant to give up on the opportunity and leave. There was no harm in going there and taking a look first before they made a decision.


    ……


    They continued onwards after making up their minds. The secret realm was full of rare and valuable rune materials, minerals and medicinal herbs, many of which were extinct in the outside world.


    Lin Xun picked up a lot of good stuff along the way.


    Of course, they avoided dangerous areas and dared not disturb the monsters and beasts there.


    As they neared Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, Lin Xun’s storage ring became filled with heaps of medicinal herbs and rune materials, giving off a fragrant aroma and dazzling light from time to time. There were also various minerals, ores and rare treasures, all of which were of immeasurable value.


    Lin Xun wanted to stay in the secret realm and train if not for its hidden dangers.


    Zhao Jingxuan and Toady also made harvests along the way. The two couldn’t help from marveling inwardly. The secret realm is a natural treasury, a blessed cultivation ce, but unfortunately, it’s full of deadly dangers.


    Soon, a majestic and ancient purple mountain came into their view, piercing the sky of clouds. Purple mes were rising from its body like the rays of the sun.


    It indeed resembled a sacred mountain, like a miracle. One nce was enough to stun many people. It was hard to imagine how long it had existed for.


    “Purple qies from the east, divine light covers the sky, dao fire burns for eternity!” Toady’s golden eyes gleamed as he froze on the spot. “The environment here is incredibly sacred. A great opportunity is no doubt hidden here.”


    “It is indeed extraordinary,” Lin Xun marveled.


    Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain was enveloped in a majestic aura thatpelled him to feel awe.


    “Let’s go, they are waiting.”


    Zhao Jingxuan took the lead and darted towards Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain in the distance. She had already been there before.


    Only then did Lin Xun notice countless figures of powerful cultivators in the nearby area. They all had the same goal: rush towards Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain.


    The great opportunity had drawn the attention of so many ns before it appeared in the world. Its appearance would no doubt set off a monstrous storm on Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain and kick off fierce battles!
