"Our Master is one who never takes the usual path, and that's what I love most about him."
"Following Master, we'll be just fine."
"I can't wait to see what treasures lie within the secret realm of this Level Eight Great World."
The women were incredibly curious about the path Ye Yun had chosen. Fang Zhiwei, being the most eager, rushed forward, wanting to clear the way for everyone.
"Be careful, places with precious treasures are always dangerous."
"Senior Sister, I understand."
Fang Zhiwei nodded at Lin Xueyan, but her body, filled with excitement, still skipped and ran ahead.
"Master, keep an eye on that girl!"
"Heh, it's fine. Let's go."
Ye Yun waved his hand, and the women followed suit.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
"These people are truly greedy, actually wanting to seek treasures from our Tianlan Domain's secret realm, hahaha!"
"Indeed. Look at these good-for-nothings from the Heavenly Domain Alliance; they're all blinded by treasure and have completely forgotten about their alliance."
"Even better. Let these traitors of Tianlan Domain perish within."
The elders of Tianlan Domain discussed the actions of those within the secret realm. Before them floated a scroll suspended in mid-air.
The scroll displayed the activities of the Heavenly Domain Alliance within the secret realm.
"Star Lord, should we act?"
"Acting now would be too boring. This time, I not only want to punish them but also provide amusement for everyone, showing them the fate of those who oppose Tianlan Domain."
"Yes, Star Lord!"
An elder nodded slightly and then looked down at the crowd.
Below were those who supported Tianlan Domain, the fence-sitters, all waiting to see the Heavenly Domain Alliance members meet their demise.
"Elder Hao, aren't you going to act?"
"No need to rush. The Star Lord has his own plans. Let these fools find some gains first, otherwise, they'll really think our Tianlan Domain's secret realm has nothing."
"That's true. The Star Lord is truly wise."
Everyone nodded in agreement and then gazed at the scroll, as if watching a movie, awaiting the various crises these "characters" would face.
Within the secret realm, the powerhouses from the various great worlds of the Heavenly Domain Alliance, leading their respective elites, began their search for treasures.
Soon, some from the mid-tier great worlds discovered a large quantity of high-grade Divine Crystals. The quality and quantity were astonishing. They were overjoyed and began to collect them.
"I never imagined this secret realm would hold such a vast Divine Crystal mine. Dig quickly!"
"We don't even need to fight over them. There are too many. This is indeed the secret realm of a Level Eight Great World; it's simply invincible!"
"Well said! We owe it all to Alliance Leader Ye, or we wouldn't have had the right to enter here."
The powerhouses from the various great worlds pulled out their storage rings and frantically collected Divine Crystals.
At the same time, Ye Yun, leading the women, traversed the path he had chosen and entered the middle layer of the Tianlan Secret Realm.
"How did that guy Ye Aotian know the correct path?"
In the outside world, a Tianlan Domain elder murmured in confusion.
"Who knows? That fellow is extremely mysterious. No one knows how strong his power truly is, or how high his talent reaches!"
"So what? Once inside the Tianlan Secret Realm, he'll have no escape!"
"Elder Li, what are your thoughts?"
The elders all looked at Elder Li, who was the strongest in Tianlan Domain besides the Star Lord.
"Everyone, please remain calm. The Star Lord wishes to first display the abundance of our Tianlan Domain's resources and countless treasures. Therefore, he will not act against the Heavenly Domain Alliance members for now."
"We can't wait to kill these good-for-nothings! They dared to betray our Tianlan Domain; it's an unforgivable sin!"
"Well said! In our eyes, these people are mere ants, trash that must be purged!"
Many elders bared their ferocious expressions, wishing they could personally deal with the members of the Heavenly Domain Alliance.
"Elder Li, you may proceed."
"Yes, Star Lord!"
Elder Li nodded, then channeled his divine power and activated a formation wheel.
Instantly, the formations that had long been hidden within the Tianlan Secret Realm were activated.
"Rumble!"
The immense tremors shattered the earth around the Divine Crystal mine, forming a massive chasm.
"What's going on?"
"Is this an earthquake?"
"How can there be an earthquake here? This is the secret realm of Tianlan Domain; this place should be the most stable!"
The people had no idea what was happening. But when they tried to channel their divine power to escape, they discovered their divine power was ineffective.
This was highly abnormal!
"There's a formation here. We've been tricked."
"Damn it, are you serious? Is Tianlan Domain that shameless?"
"Alliance Leader, where is Alliance Leader?"
In this moment of danger, they finally remembered Ye Yun's importance, having completely ignored his warnings at the time.
"Rumble!"
The earth continued to shake. Within the chasm, many powerhouses, unable to resist the suction from below, were directly pulled in.
"Ah!"
Screams echoed. The people looked down, and the powerhouses fell directly into lava. The violent lava power quickly enveloped their bodies, corroding everything.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Blood and flesh turned into bloody water. The destructive power of this formation was comparable to a hundred-tier Heavenly God.
A large number of cultivators showed expressions of horror. If the first formation was this terrifying, how would they proceed further?
"We must unite, or we will all die here. This is Tianlan Domain's conspiracy!"
"It must be! No wonder they let us enter the secret realm so easily. We need to get out now!"
"We protest!"
A large number of cultivators shouted loudly towards the sky, having realized that the powerhouses of Tianlan Domain were likely watching them.
In the outside world, the elders of Tianlan Domain wore expressions of schadenfreude.
"Ha, these guys aren't so stupid now. It's a pity their strength is too poor; they will ultimately die in this lava formation."
"Yes, they're all cannon fodder, yet they dream of being protagonists seeking treasures. It's laughable."
"The Tianlan Secret Realm naturally belongs only to our Tianlan Domain!"
The elders laughed as they watched, their discussions growing heated. Human lives were mere cold numbers to them, utterly meaningless, especially the lives of these traitors, which were worthless.
However, among these powerhouses were also experts at the level of the Main God.
A leader from a Level Seven Great World made a decisive move, ordering everyone to focus on finding the formation's core.
"Everyone, if we find the formation's core, I will be able to break it with a single strike!"
"Alright, let's quickly search for the formation's core!"
Everyone unleashed their divine power, sensing the location of the formation's core. Those with pupil-based profound skills did not dare to hold back, fearing they would be the next to be melted by the lava.
And at this moment, Ye Yun and his group, relying on his extraordinary luck, entered a scripture exhibition hall.
