Chapter 1 Zhao Chen

Zhao Chen was a Yuanying realm cultivator.

In reality, he wasn't a disciple of some great sect, but merely an elder of a small, insignificant one.

This time at the Langya Secret Realm, he was purely there to make up the numbers, but unexpectedly, he had reached the final stage.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was extremely excited because he knew that the Langya Immortal Treasury was about to open.

According to rumors, the Immortal Treasury contained countless treasures, any one of which would be invaluable outside.

More importantly, perhaps others didn't know about this Langya Secret Realm, but he did.

Because by chance, Zhao Chen had obtained an ancient book that recorded some things about the Langya Secret Realm, including the final stage.

As soon as the Immortal Gate appeared, whoever stepped into the Immortal Palace first would be the first to obtain the treasures, and he even knew where the teleportation array was.

So he couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Zhao Chen was already thinking that as soon as he rushed into the Immortal Treasury, he would grab everything first and then run, and he wouldn't fear anything even if he was chased.

But at the same time, as the Immortal Gate slowly appeared, the thousands of people present seemed extremely silent.

Among these thousands of people, there was no shortage of true experts from the holy lands, especially a woman surrounded by purple energy. She had fought her way from the first stage to the eighth stage, and although she was injured, she still showed unparalleled grace. No one dared to provoke her. She stood not far away, and no one dared to approach her.

Not only her, but also many other strong individuals were staring at the Immortal Gate with predatory eyes.

Zhao Chen fully understood that at this moment, many people were probably thinking about another matter.

That was to eliminate other forces.

After all, when fighting against monsters, everyone was united and shared the difficulties, but when it came to sharing the rewards, some people would definitely be unwilling.

So Zhao Chen took a deep breath and roared loudly before anyone could make a move.

"Seniors, this Langya Secret Realm is incredibly dangerous. I think the final stage may still hold danger, so everyone must not be blinded by the treasures."

"We should continue to work together and create a better future. When we enter the Immortal Gate later, let us, who are at a lower realm, go in first to explore the path for you seniors."

"If there are any treasures, let the seniors choose first. As juniors, we know how to respect the old and love the young, so we'll just take whatever the seniors don't want."

"Please rest assured, seniors, I, Zhao Chen, mean what I say and will never be greedy. Of all the waters in the world, I'll only take a ladleful!"

Zhao Chen said with great enthusiasm. His voice was loud, and everyone could hear him.

To be honest, after Zhao Chen's words, some cultivators did become silent, especially those who wanted to strike first, and they also fell into contemplation.

Who knew if there would be any danger in the next stage?

What if they encountered monsters again after crossing the Immortal Gate?

These layabouts could indeed play some role.

Moreover, the first person to make a move would definitely be attacked by the crowd, so many people calmed down and didn't rush to make a move, deciding to wait and see.

The situation stabilized.

Zhao Chen couldn't help but admire his own wit.

And so, time passed bit by bit.

Finally, the Immortal Gate appeared!

But no one dared to act rashly.

After each breakthrough, the first person to enter the next stage basically died instantly because there were terrifying monsters waiting for them.

So even though the Immortal Gate had appeared and some people were extremely excited, everyone was still extremely calm.

In the crowd, Zhao Chen seized the opportunity and rushed out directly, while also saying with great seriousness.

"Seniors, this junior's life is cheap. To be fortunate enough to reach the eighth stage is already a death without regrets. Today, I am willing to hold the three-foot Qingfeng sword in my hand and explore the reality for you seniors!"

Zhao Chen roared, appearing extremely generous, and then directly entered the Immortal Gate.

But everyone didn't care about Zhao Chen's life or death. They only cared about whether there was any danger inside.

However, as soon as Zhao Chen went in, the Immortal Gate began to close instantly.

"Not good! He's playing tricks!"

"This is the final stage. We were too careful."

"Damn it, we were deceived by this guy."

"Everyone, work together and forcibly open the Immortal Gate, otherwise, we may be trapped here to death."

Someone spoke, offering an ancient bell to bombard the Immortal Gate.

Behind the Immortal Gate.

Zhao Chen looked at the Immortal Palace in front of him in shock.

He was extremely excited, and after regaining his senses, he immediately walked towards the Immortal Palace.

But soon Zhao Chen discovered that there was a void gate in the main hall.

"Huh? It doesn't even need to be activated and a teleportation array appears directly? Is the Langya Immortal so considerate?"

Zhao Chen was surprised, but he didn't think much about it and walked directly into the void gate.

In an instant.

After a burst of tumbling.

Zhao Chen appeared in the real Langya Immortal Treasury.

"Of all the waters in the world, I'll only take a ladleful!"

Zhao Chen excitedly spoke, while also taking out his unique magic weapon.

A wooden ladle, but this wooden ladle was ridiculously large, a full hundred meters long. Rather than calling it a ladle, it was more like a giant spoon.

He excitedly looked around.

However, the next moment.

Zhao Chen was stunned.

The cave was empty.

Everything seemed extremely clean.

It even seemed as if someone had just been there because there wasn't even a speck of dust on the ground.

"Where are the treasures?"

Zhao Chen was stunned. Where was the Immortal Treasury he had dreamed of?

He looked left and right!

He looked right and left!

He looked up and down and left and right.

Where was the Immortal Treasury?

Where was the Langya Immortal Treasury?

You, a goddamn Langya Immortal, playing dirty tricks?

Are you bullying me, Zhao Chen?

Zhao Chen was completely stunned.

He took a deep breath and looked at the pool not far away.

Spotlessly clean.

What solar holy liquid?

Not even a hair.

He carefully searched the surroundings.

He searched the surroundings back and forth.

Zhao Chen searched for a full hour.

You know what?

There really wasn't even a speck of dust.

At this moment, Zhao Chen's heart turned cold.

He stood there, completely dumbfounded.

He had escaped death so many times, but he never thought that it would all be in vain in the end?

How could anyone accept this?

And at this moment, suddenly, a series of chaotic voices rang out.

"This guy is extremely cunning. He knew beforehand that the final stage was the Immortal Treasury."

"When I catch this guy, I'm going to skin him and pull out his tendons."

"Quick, there's a void gate there. Don't let that guy run away."

As the voices rang out.

In less than a moment.

The entire cave instantly had hundreds of figures.

Each one was a strong individual.

Each one exuded a terrifying aura.

"So you bastard were really here."

"Hiss! You dog thief, is this what you call a ladleful? Why don't you go die?"

"You fiend, quickly hand over all the treasures."

"Hiss! In just an hour, you actually looted all the treasures? You didn't even leave us a speck of dust? Are you even human?"

"Everyone, block the retreat and make him hand over the treasures."

Hundreds of strong individuals directly blocked all directions, each one looking at Zhao Chen with anger in their eyes, each one wanting to kill him.
