And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 169

Looking at the disciple’s confident appearance, everyone fell into silence.

One person might lie, but since everyone said so, it was definitely true.

The eyes of all the Sect Masters lit up. The information contained in this was too much, so much so that there was a moment of silence in the air. No one spoke.

Regardless of whether it was the powerful golden dragon or the bead that Gu Xi had obtained, any one of them could become an existence that would shock the world.

This kind of world-renowned treasure could be said to be unprecedented.

The most important thing was that the Primal Chaos Secret Realm actually acknowledged him as its master. This was something that was almost impossible. However, it was happening right under their noses.

“You are saying that he was sucked into the light pillar and then came out again with an additional bead in his hand. After that, all of you were rejected by the Secret Realm?”

Those disciples nodded.

The Sect Masters of the major sects looked at each other. They knew that this matter was of great importance, and they did not dare to let down their guard. “You must keep this matter a secret and not tell anyone about it.”

They let the disciples rest at the side for the time being. All the Sect Masters, Elders, and Clan Leaders stayed to discuss.

…

“What do you all think about this matter?”

Everyone’s faces were unprecedentedly solemn.

“I just checked the bodies of these disciples. There is nothing strange. Their memories have not been tampered with.”

Previously, they had also suspected that these disciples had fallen into an illusion or that their memories were biased. However, who had such great ability to cast an illusion on everyone? Even the people of the Demon Region could not do it.

Moreover, they had never heard of such an array formation in the Secret Realm. These people had indeed been thrown out by the Primal Chaos Secret Realm in the end.

No matter how shocking that fact was, they could only believe that what they said was true.

“I never thought that the Primal Chaos Secret Realm would be able to recognize its master.”

Everyone had a mysterious expression on their faces.

One had to know that the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had a long history. No one knew how it was formed. They only knew that it contained many treasures, Heaven and Earth treasures, all sorts of top-grade Cultivation Methods, and even the Emperor’s secret treasure.

Although the Secret Realm was filled with dangers, it also possessed great opportunities. If one or two of them were obtained, they would be able to rise to the top.

It was said that there was once an ascetic disciple. Although he was diligent, his talent was average. However, he accidentally obtained the most precious treasure in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. From then on, he was cleansed and reborn. He possessed great talent and leaped to the Saint stage.

It was not that no one had thought of monopolizing the Secret Realm. However, if they monopolized the Secret Realm, how could others agree? Even the number one sect in the world would not dare to do such a thing.

In their publicly acknowledged view, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm could not be privately occupied. The powerful sects and clans would distribute the quotas and then select disciples to enter the Secret Realm.

However, now, it had become someone’s property. This meant that those top-grade pills, spiritual plants, and Cultivation Methods were all out of their reach, harming everyone’s interests. The major sects absolutely would not allow this to happen.

“What kind of virtue and ability does this kid have to make the Secret Realm acknowledge its master!?”

“If I had to say it, he must have controlled the Secret Realm through that bead. As long as we obtain that bead, won’t it be…”

These words hit the bottom of everyone’s hearts.

Thinking of the supreme treasures in the Secret Realm, greed flashed in everyone’s eyes. Who here would not be tempted? Unless they really did not have that kind of worldly desire, otherwise, when such a treasure was placed in front of them, how could they turn a blind eye?

The Zhan Clan member could not help but say, “It’s just that that kid looks a bit strange. He’s not that hard to deal with. Moreover, he’s able to control the Secret Realm now. He’s still inside and hasn’t come out. Who knows what kind of changes will happen.”

The people from the Ethereal Illusion Mansion did not think much of it.

“No matter how strange he is, he’s at most a King-level cultivator. Don’t tell me we can’t do anything to him with so many people.”

“You can’t say that. Previously, so many of our disciples suffered losses when we tried to confront him. It’s better not to underestimate him.”

The disciples who were selected from various sects and families to enter the Secret Realm were all top-notch existences in their generation. However, they were defeated by Gu Xi. Everyone immediately fell into silence.

“That was just a fluke. Moreover, it was in the Secret Realm. If we were to face him head-on, this kid definitely wouldn’t have such good luck.”

The Primal Chaos Secret Realm acknowledged its master. If they were to attack Gu Xi in his territory, they would not gain any benefits. However, if they were to attack him outside, crushing Gu Xi to death would be as easy as crushing an ant.

The people from Ethereal Illusion Mansion sneered and said, “I don’t believe that he can hide in the Secret Realm forever. Moreover, even if he could hide, would his clan and sect be able to hide?”

When some people heard this, they felt that it was inappropriate. Gu Xi did not do anything outrageous. Would they not be a little unscrupulous by doing this?

However, most people had no objection, so they could only follow the general trend.

They could only blame Gu Xi for overestimating himself. Carrying such a precious treasure like a child carrying gold across the market, he was asking to be robbed. It was really ostentatious to the extreme.

“No matter what, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm must not fall into the hands of such a kiid. If he is used by those people from the Demon Region, the world might be in chaos.”

This seemed to make sense.

“However, if we get that bead, how should we distribute the spoils in the future?”

For a moment, everyone was silent. As long as it was related to benefits, it was not easy to say it out loud.

Everyone wanted to monopolize the Primal Chaos Secret Realm and become the master of the Secret Realm, but that was impossible.
