Chapter 429

As the day of the Jiuli secret realm's exit opening approached, the secret realm entered a state of silence. Everyone was in seclusion, including Yin Luo, Huo Wufang, etc.
== Xue Wuya ==
Xue Wuya has come out again and prepares to attack the Righteous path.
== Han Tianyu ==
Han Tianyu is with Yin Wushuang and swears to get revenge against LC for Han Tianfeng.
== Long Chen's party ==
There was still just over a month until the secret realm's exit opened. Countless experts were coming out of seclusion. The secret realm immediately became lively again.
But this liveliness was accompanied by endless slaughter and blood. As experts came out, huge battles were fought everywhere.
The people exiting seclusion at this time were all top experts extremely confident in themselves. As for those people who were weaker, they were still in seclusion. Just increasing their cultivation base by the slightest bit was worth it to them.
Atop Compass Mountain, Long Chen and the others also exited seclusion. What gratified Long Chen was that everyone's cultivation bases had reached the mid Bone Forging realm.
=== Tang Wan-er ===
As for Tang Wan-er, who possessed a gold Spirit Root, she had reached the seventh Heavenstage of Bone Forging, which was the highest out of all of them.
Furthermore, as she constantly refined the purest energy from the wind spirit stones, her wind energy once more transformed and her wind blades had become much more solid and sharp.
=== Guo Ran ===
Tang Wan-er was the one with the highest cultivation base, but second place was not Meng Qi or the others. It was surprisingly Guo Ran! He had reached the peak of the sixth Heavenstage, and he could advance to the seventh Heavenstage at any moment.
That had shocked all of them. Only Long Chen was still calm. He knew that Guo Ran walked an alternative path, and he wouldn't run into any bottlenecks.
=== Others ===
Other than Luo Cang who was still at the fourth Heavenstage, the others had reached the fifth or sixth Heavenstage. That level of cultivation base was enough to shock the entire secret realm.
This was all because Long Chen had decided to refine ringed high grade pills. Because of that, his pill furnaces had all been ruined, and he didn't have a single one anymore.
=== Wilde ===
Wilde had also greatly strengthened. His skin turned bronze, and a mark appeared on his forehead.
Wilde's strength caused their collective team's power to rise a great deal. Now their squad could truly be called elites amongst elites.
According to combat ability, each of them had at least reached the level of a Chosen. It was just that those with softer temperaments like Meng Qi and Chu Yao wouldn't release that kind of undefeatable will.
However, Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, and the others had all experienced fierce battles and a rain of blood. Their hearts had long since become tempered, and when they fought, their will far surpassed the other so-called Chosen.
Gu Yang and the others had grown to this point on their own, and their will was not man-made by their sects. They were completely different.
=== Violet Phoenix ===
Other than their strength advancing, they also had four powerful helpers. Those four Violet Phoenix Sparrows had all reached the late fourth rank.
To help those four grow, Meng Qi and the others had expended a great deal of effort, and Long Chen had also refined quite a few medicinal pills specialized for them.
Of the four women, they would rotate, one of them bringing the four birds to go hunting. The reason they had all managed to grow so fast was because they had alternated hunting and cultivating.
Long Chen noticed that after being raised by Meng Qi and the others, these birds had become much more human. They weren't as berserk as their mother, and they were extremely loyal. There was basically no need to worry about them suddenly betraying them. This was definitely because of the great care the four women had given them as they grew up.
Although Magical Beasts were known for being berserk, they also had emotions. Once they fully accepted a master, they would never betray that person in their lifetime. Compared to fickle humans, Magical Beasts were actually much more trustworthy.
=== Little Snow ===
Little Snow was transforming its crystal core.
