Chapter 1513: The Thousand Radiance Secret Realm, Gathering of Powers_2 Chapter 1513: The Thousand Radiance Secret Realm, Gathering of Powers_2 Editor: Henyee Translations Though Jiang Chengxuan possessed the strength to fight if necessary, he preferred to avoid confrontation in situations where his enemies remained hidden while he was exposed.
âBeloved, this secret realm seems to have drawn quite the crowd,â Shen Ruyan remarked telepathically, watching the throng of cultivators flowing through the streets.
The secret realm that had emerged near Thousand Radiance City was connected to the traces of the Immortalâs relic that Jiang Chengxuan had been investigating.
However, its sudden appearance had already spread throughout the Immortal Domain, drawing widespread attention.
âItâs no matter.
The secret realm itself wasnât left behind by the ImmortalââŹâit was merely activated by the relic falling into it,â Jiang Chengxuan explained, having pieced together the truth.
As he had suspected, the secret realm had always existed but lay dormant for countless years.
Only when the Immortalâs relic fell into it was its latent power awakened, revealing itself to the world.
The influx of cultivators actually worked to Jiang Chengxuanâs advantage.
In such chaos, he could blend in and search for the relic undetected.
After all, no one knew exactly what the Immortalâs relic looked like.
Though he could dominate the secret realm with brute force and drive out all competitors, such an act would harm his reputation and the standing of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
It would also draw unwanted attention from potential infiltrators from the Ancient Realm.
Should he act too boldly, he risked alerting hidden enemies who might seize the opportunity to steal the prize, leaving him at a loss.
âThe Celestial Calamity Sect is here!
Step aside, or suffer the consequences!â A booming voice echoed through Thousand Radiance City, causing chaos among the crowd.
A dense black mist rolled in, heralding the arrival of a massive celestial chariot.
Pulled by three pitch-black, rhino-like beasts, the chariot rumbled through the streets, sending waves of fear and panic through the onlookers.
âDamn it!
Itâs those maniacs again!â âShh!
Keep your voice down!
Do you want to die?â Though many cultivators were outraged by the sectâs arrogance, they had no choice but to retreat, begrudgingly clearing a path for the chariot and its monstrous escorts.
The Celestial Calamity Sect.
The name made Jiang Chengxuan frown as memories resurfaced.
Years ago, during his search for the Five Elements Celestial Essence in the northern region, he had encountered members of this sect in the Insect Valley.
Back then, he had killed several of their elders to protect his old acquaintances, Redridge Venerable and her junior sister, who had been hunted and humiliated by the sect.
Even the Feng Tian Immortal Sect had been destroyed by their hands.
To see the sect still rampant and domineering in the northern region after all this time left a bitter taste in Jiang Chengxuanâs mouth.
âThere are two Earth Immortals on that chariot.
It seems the Celestial Calamity Sect is determined to claim the secret realm,â Shen Ruyan observed, her voice cool and steady as her eyes followed the chariot.
Jiang Chengxuan replied calmly, âTheir power is indeed strange, imbued with an aura of calamity.
Iâve always wondered about its origins.
Now, I suspect they might also be part of some Ancient Realm arrangement.â With his understanding deepened, Jiang Chengxuan now believed the sectâs rise was tied to the Ancient Realm.
Their obscure cultivation methods, centered around cultivating calamity energy, were unlike anything he had ever encountered.
âLook!
Isnât that the Celestial King Sect?
What a powerful aura!â âThey brought so many people, even their Holy Son is among them!â âThis secret realm must be extraordinary to attract such major powers!â âLook over there!
Thatâs the Tianzhu Immortal Sect from the Eastern Continent.
Even theyâve come all this way!â The streets of Thousand Radiance City buzzed with excitement as sect after sect arrived, each exuding tremendous power.
Following the Celestial Calamity Sectâs arrival, many other factions from the northern region and beyond descended upon the city, bringing their forces in full.
Even Jiang Chengxuan was surprised to sense the familiar presence of Redridge Venerable among the crowd.
She was no longer alone; she had gathered a group of allies.
âHmââŹÂŚâ Jiang Chengxuan pondered for a moment before pointing a finger in her direction.
A subtle, mystical energy shot forth, leaving an invisible mark on her and her group.
This would allow him to provide assistance within the secret realm if needed.
From their quiet pavilion, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan watched as one powerful sect after another entered the stage.
Despite the grand display, Jiang Chengxuan sensed no other Heavenly Sovereigns among the gathered forces.
A few days later, the light radiating from the secret realm reached its peak, signaling its opening.
A torrent of celestial light erupted from the realm, mixing with an overwhelming aura.
A multicolored storm tore through the skies, distorting space and causing turbulence that shook even Thousand Radiance City.
The cityâs defensive array activated to withstand the pressure.
Clearly, the presence of the Immortalâs relic had elevated the secret realm to a higher level, creating incredible changes within.
âQuickly!
The secret realm is opening!â âCelestial Calamity Sect business!
Move, or die!â âOut of our way, or face the consequences!â The moment the secret realm opened, every faction sprang into action.
Their celestial carriages gleamed with radiant light, traversing the skies and spatial gateways.
The heavens were filled with blazing trails of light, as black mist surged forward alongside fiery paths that scorched the skies.
A sea of cultivators followed in their wake, transforming into streaks of light as they raced toward the secret realm.
In an instant, Thousand Radiance City was emptied of people, leaving behind only residual celestial energy and the echo of space-tearing roars as figures disappeared into the secret realm.
âWe should go too,â Jiang Chengxuan said, rising with Shen Ruyan.
Without drawing attention, they blended into the crowd and entered the secret realm.
The moment they passed through the boundary, Jiang Chengxuan sensed faint traces of the Immortalâs aura.
Excitement flickered in his eyesââŹâhis suspicions were confirmed.
An Immortal relic was indeed within the secret realm.
The spatial energy around them shifted, and as their vision cleared, they found themselves in a new world.
They stood in a valley bathed in crimson radiance, with translucent red cliffs reflecting dazzling beams of light.
The air shimmered with heat, exuding a strange, primordial energy.
âBuzzââŹâ!â Wasting no time, Jiang Chengxuan unleashed his divine sense, scanning the surrounding area.
The power of a Celestial Immortal spread like a tidal wave, covering a vast swath of the secret realm in an instant.
The overwhelming aura startled many of the realmâs native beasts, their roars reverberating across the land.
The sudden eruption of violent energy left many newly arrived cultivators shaken and on edge.
âSo fierce!
The beasts in this realm are terrifying!â âBarely inside, and already facing such hostility?
This place is no joke!â As the roars subsided, the cultivators cautiously began their exploration.
âNothing yet,â Jiang Chengxuan muttered, opening his eyes with a slight frown.
His divine sense had not located the relic.
âThis secret realm has grown extraordinary under the influence of the Immortalâs relic.
Perhaps many treasures have been born here,â he remarked with a faint smile.
