hat already ascended""Of course not, ascending is not that easy." Shui Yuelì explained, "The tribulation period, just like the cultivation levels before it, is divided into four levels: early, middle,...As the spatial channel of the Primordial Secret Realm slowly closed, the people from the Three Sects, Five Schools, and Seven Great Families also left one after another.

Others are the same, after all, it's three days before it opens, no need to stay here all the time.

The Heavenly Dao Sect, renowned as the foremost sect in Zhongtian Domain, boasts unparalleled strength and the ability to pierce through the heavens, comprehending the celestial mandate.

The Sect Master, Wuwu Daojun, who had been in seclusion previously, emerged from his retreat on this day and summoned the Great Elder to the main hall.

Congratulations on your master's departure from seclusion.

Wuhua Daojun saw his senior brother's expression was cold and stern, he couldn't help but ask, "This time peering into the future of our sect, closed retreat for so long, did you see something"

"I was just about to tell you about that."

The Uncarved Daojun's expression was grave. "My strength is still insufficient. I've only seen glimpses, but the outlook is extremely bleak."

Wuhua Daojun's face was full of surprise: "Master, are you saying that the Heavenly Dao Sect's future is bleak"

Not just the Tiandao Sect, but the entire Heavenly Domain.

"The Taoist Wufu shook his head. 'What I saw this time wasn't particularly clear. Based on my analysis, I would summarize it in eight words: The heavens and earth are changing, peace within closed doors!'"

Seeing that it wasn't the sect disciples who were in great danger, Wuhuo Daojun let out a sigh of relief.

"How should our sect respond to this Please enlighten me, senior brother."

Wuwei Daojun said: "Pass down my order, all Tian Dao Zong disciples return to the sect immediately, and then close the mountain gates, allowing no entry or exit."

"This..."

"Without a doubt, Daojun hesitated for a moment. 'The Yuangu Secret Realm will open in two days. Should we wait a little longer'"

"The Lord of Nothingness shook his head firmly: 'Time is pressing, we can't wait any longer. I will issue my command now.'"

Wuhua Daojun hesitated a little: "But, Dongfang Daoyuan and the other four core disciples are still inside the secret realm..."

Don't worry about them. If they return safely, no one will dare to touch the disciples of my Heavenly Dao Sect. They will naturally return to the sect.

If they cannot return, and fall into the secret realm, then that is their fortune this time.

"I understood."

Wuhua Daojun responded with a sound and turned to leave.

Watching his departing figure, Wúwèi Dàojūn's eyes were deep and thoughtful, one couldn't tell what he was pondering.

Soon, a message spread throughout the Zhongtian Domain: The Tian Dao Sect had closed its mountain gates, and the reason was unknown. It was also unclear when they would reopen.

A day later, within the main hall of Guiyuan Sect, three elderly figures with powerful auras sat at the head, each having reached the peak of the Immortal Sovereign realm.

The one right in the middle, thin and wiry, with hair as white as snow but a youthful face, is none other than Master Yuan Futu, the head of the sect.

The other two elders had not appeared before their disciples for a long time. They were even older than Yuan Futou, being the generation above him. They were Tai Shang Elder Fu Shanhe and Gui Younian.

Below them were Elder Ouyang Pingjiang and the other core members of the sect.

Ouyang Pingjiang said, "Master Sect Leader, the Heavenly Dao Sect suddenly closed its mountain gates yesterday. I don't know the reason."

"Let it be sealed, don't worry about it. Without the Heaven Dao Sect this time, we can save a lot of trouble."

Yuan Futong's lips curled into a smile. Originally, the Guiyuan Sect had always been ranked second among the three major sects. Now that the Tiandao Sect wasn't participating, the strongest sect would undoubtedly be the Guiyuan Sect.

"What is the background of Lingyun Sword Sect and that Ye kid Have you found out"

Ye Bufan led the Lingyun Jianzong to a triumphant run in the Hundred Strong Tournament, achieving their best results ever and even claiming the top spot.

Other sects outwardly appear indifferent, but behind the scenes, they are all taking action, investigating his connection with the Lingyun Sword Sect.

After all, as a small sect of Earthly Paradise, it's impossible to cultivate such outstanding disciples, especially within such a short period. There was no previous sign of their talent.

Since everyone here is a cultivator, such an opportunity wouldn't arise unless there were significant secrets or fortuitous encounters. No one would want to miss out on either of those.

The reason there was no movement before was to avoid breaking the rules of the Hundred Schools Tournament and to prevent other sects from coveting it. They all wanted to swallow it privately.

The Guiyuan Sect was also like this, even sending people out to investigate the background of Lingyun Jianzong and Ye Bufan before the competition had ended.

Ouyang Pingjiang nodded: "Sect Master, it's clear now. That boy actually came from the Lower Heavenly Domain..."

As one of the top-tier sects in Zhongtian Domain, Guiyuan Sect possesses a powerful force and extensive intelligence network. It wouldn't be difficult for them to find out about an individual, especially since Ye Bufan hadn't deliberately concealed his affiliation with the sect.

It took about half an hour for Ouyang Pingjiang to briefly summarize Ye Bufan's situation, and finally said: "This kid just ascended to the Immortal Realm from the next session a few years ago."

This strength grew too quickly, not just him, but even the women around him. They actually defeated Dongfang Dao Yuan in the Hundred Strong Tournament.

Although Ye Bufan didn't see him make a move himself, all those women looked up to him as if he were their leader. He must be quite powerful.

"That's quite interesting."

Yuan Futu revealed a hint of amusement, "The core disciples painstakingly cultivated by our three Sects, five Schools, and seven Great Families over the years are actually inferior to a junior who just ascended What does that say"

If I were to say he has no secrets, I wouldn't believe myself even if I were struck dead.

OuYang Pingjiang nodded frequently: "The sect leader is right. Not only that, according to recent information, Ye Bufan still has many valuable things on him."

Before, countless casinos lost hundreds of millions of spirit crystals, totaling about four or five hundred million. Now, it is speculated that they most likely all ended up in his pocket.

Moreover, with such a rapid increase in strength, he must have some kind of treasure on him, perhaps even a chaotic spiritual treasure.

Furthermore, with his abilities and the power of those women accompanying him this time as they venture into the ancient secret realm, who knows what kind of opportunities and treasures they might uncover.

At this point, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes. "This time, no matter what, I must capture Ye Bufan and the women around him."

If I had control of his secrets, perhaps the Guiyuan Sect could surpass the Tiandao Sect in one fell swoop and become the most prestigious sect in Zhongtian Domain.

"Well said."

Yuan Futu seemed to highly agree with his words, but he added, "Even so, it's enough that you and I personally take action. Why bother the two Supreme Elders"

"The Sect Leader may not know, but that kid is well-connected with the Qin Family and Bixia Sect. It's possible that those two families will lend a helping hand."

Moreover, the Four Sides Sword Sect, the Zhao Family, and some other sects all have the same idea as us. They all want to take that kid for themselves after coming out of the secret realm.

"In this situation, my Guiyuanzong must do everything in its power to ensure absolute success."

Fu Shanhe nodded. "That's right, but it's also an honor for such a young man to be able to make the three of us take action together."

Yuan Futong said: "You know the most about the Hundred Schools Competition. When do you think it would be most suitable for us to make a move"

Ouyang Pingjiang said, "Time is of the essence. We can't let other sects get there first, or it will be troublesome to try and recruit him later. So, I suggest we capture him the moment he emerges from the Yuan Gu Secret Realm!"
