Chapter 46: Forces of the Eastern Region, The White-Clad Saintess?

"May I ask where you come from, senior?"

The three exchanged glances and knew instantly that this newcomer wasn't from the Northern Region. The imposing Annihilation Realm bird alone was enough to make them feel the pressure. Not to mention the elderly carriage driver-like figure, his depth was immeasurable; he was probably a Great Being of the Boundless Realm!

In the Northern Region, they had never encountered a Boundless Realm entity. Naturally, the three of them didn't dare to provoke such a powerful being lightly.

"Old Zhang, what's going on?" A voice sounded from within the palace. It sounded calm, yet a hint of displeasure was detectable.

"Reporting to Young Master, it's just insignificant ants from the Northern Region. This old man will send them away promptly." The old man respectfully replied, hunching his back toward the palace.

"Hmm, handle it quickly. This Young Master has had enough of the travel, so find a place for me to rest. If those ants don't know what's good for them, a slap will suffice to squash them."

Inside the palace, the voice of a youth rang out again. Though it was calm, it exuded disdain for the Northern Region.

After all, this remote and barren place was devoid of even a single Boundless Realm expert. If it weren't for the possibility of an Immortal legacy here, why would he stoop to come to such a desolate location?

"Young Master, rest assured. I'll take care of it."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes chilled as he looked towards the people on the peak of the mountain where the Jin Ding Sect was situated.

"You have ten breaths to leave, or you will bear the consequences." The tone was incredibly calm, as if stating the most natural thing. The three Annihilation Realm experts on the mountain were hardly regarded at all.

Many young disciples of the Jin Ding Sect couldn't bear such humiliation. In the Northern Region, people treated them as esteemed individuals, and they were showered with praise and flattery wherever they went.

Yet, Daoist Yang Chun knew that this young man was not to be trifled with.

"Pack up, let's go!"

With a command from Daoist Yang Chun, many disciples reluctantly complied, despite their dissatisfaction. They were somewhat discontented, but they had no choice but to act.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Chun, if you don't mind, you're welcome to join me at the Po Yuan Temple. We can wait for the secret realm to open together." Seeing the situation, Abbot Kong Kai sighed and extended an invitation.

"Thank you, Abbot!" After a moment, the people from the peak of the Jin Ding Sect had swiftly departed. The old carriage driver didn't trouble them further.

After all, in his eyes, the people of the Northern Region were nothing more than ants. If he were to act, he might besmirch his own reputation.

Returning to the Eastern Region, wouldn't he be ridiculed for acting like a tyrant in this barren land of the Northern Region?

Before long, as the palace landed on a mountain peak, a young man with a slightly furrowed brow stepped out. His attire and demeanor were that of a graceful young master, even ostentatiously holding a folding fan.

"Tsk, this really is a desolate place. Who knows if this secret realm truly holds an Immortal legacy, like the rumors say? It's probably mostly false. How could an Immortal leave behind a legacy in such a place? Sigh…"

The youth surveyed the forces gathered from the Northern Region and couldn't help but wear a disappointed expression. Yet, since he was here, all he could do was await the opening of the secret realm and try his luck.

While his tone was disdainful towards the Northern Region, his cultivation was genuine—ninth level of the Profound Sky Realm. Despite appearing around twenty years old, achieving the ninth level of the Profound Sky Realm at his age showcased incredible talent.

Though many of the Northern Region forces felt slighted by his words, none dared to provoke him recklessly. They could only lament that their fists weren't as mighty as others.

"Brother Wang Yan, I never expected to encounter you here. Heh, could you spare a place for me to rest my feet?"

Just at this moment, a figure soared swiftly through the air. Even before the person arrived, their voice reached everyone's ears.

"Ren Qirui?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Wang Yan furrowed his brow slightly and turned his gaze to the incoming figure. As expected, it was Ren Qirui. The Ren family's influence in the Eastern Region was not much weaker than their own Xiaoyao Palace.

"Heh, Brother Ren, how did you end up in this remote place? Could it be that you're here for the secret realm too?" As Ren Qirui approached, Wang Yan had already put on a faint smile.

"Well, it's all thanks to my old man. He insisted I gain some experience outside. Coincidentally, I heard about the impending opening of this secret realm and was dispatched here. He didn't even let me bring a protector with me. Now I can't be as carefree and impressive as Brother Wang Yan!"

Ren Qirui let out a sigh, casting an envious look at the palace behind Wang Yan and the Boundless Realm old carriage driver.

Similar to Wang Yan from Xiaoyao Palace, Ren Qirui also exuded the aura of the ninth level of the Profound Sky Realm!

In the Northern Region, for a cultivator of this age to reach the Void Sky Realm was already a rare talent. Just like Leng Yanran, who had achieved the fourth level of the . She was hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Northern Region!

However, this was closely related to the quality of resources and techniques. Even with the same aptitude, using different resources and practicing different techniques could lead to a significant disparity in cultivation.

"Tsk, Brother Ren, your words are lacking in fun. Who doesn't know that you're the Ren family's precious gem? I'm sure your ancestral Patriarch wouldn't send you out without some lifesaving tricks up your sleeve."

Clearly, Wang Yan didn't believe his words. Ren Qirui, as the Ren family's genius and the one groomed to be their next Patriarch, wouldn't venture out without some means of self-preservation. Could their Ren family really be at ease?

"Hehe, let's not talk about that. Let's not talk about that. Brother Wang Yan, I'll tell you, I received some news on my way here! Even our Eastern Region's Holy Maiden might come here for the secret realm!"

Ren Qirui decided not to be evasive and shifted the topic directly, releasing a piece of important news.

"Oh? Even the Holy Maiden herself might attend this secret realm. It seems there's a good chance of Immortal legacy within!"

Wang Yan was momentarily taken aback. If the Holy Maiden was interested, there was a high possibility that the secret realm was indeed authentic!

At the same time, he felt a surge of excitement. The Holy Maiden was the dream companion of every young talent in the Eastern Region, not just because of her unparalleled beauty, but also due to her exceedingly rare Saint-grade aptitude.

Combined with the power behind her, becoming her companion would undoubtedly make one of the most influential figures in the Eastern Region in the future!

Throughout the conversation, neither of them spared a glance for the various Northern Region forces gathered nearby. They didn't consider anyone else worthy of their attention.

As they conversed, they both suddenly froze and turned their heads towards a particular direction!

There stood a woman in a white veil, dressed in a spotless white dress. Her bare feet were exposed, showcasing delicate and smooth ankles. Two small bells adorned her ankles, emitting a gentle chime as she moved.
