Dragon Tree senses a familiar Buddha Flame Root presence as Ye Yun pilots the Celestial Boat. A cultivator named Gu Zhan Tian approaches, inviting them to the Unborn Secret Realm, which is about to open and contains many Roots of No Birth. Ye Yun agrees to journey with Gu Zhan Tian, suspecting a deeper purpose behind the secret realm and its connection to the Root of No Birth. They arrive at the vortex entrance to the Unborn Secret Realm, where a million cultivators have already gathered.

"Wow, so many people!"

Staring at the multitude of cultivators both in the sky and on the ground, Gu Zhan Tian was shocked. He rubbed his hands together, chuckling, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye, the Unborn Secret Realm hasn’t even opened yet, and our timing is perfect!"

"Indeed, there are quite a few people..."

Ye Yun nodded.

The opening of an Unborn Secret Realm actually attracted over a million cultivators from the Ancient Realm; this scale is indeed massive.

It seems that in this Ancient Realm, many people are determined to obtain the Root of No Birth.

"Three fellow Daoists, may I join your team?"

A young girl in a green dress flew over, landing before Ye Yun’s Celestial Boat, and asked somewhat hesitantly.

Ye Yun glanced at her.

The girl in the green dress appeared around fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features, fair skin, and a graceful figure, truly a sight for sore eyes.

Her cultivation base had reached the Divine King Realm First Layer, just like his.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this girl seems alone, why not let her join our team..."

Gu Zhan Tian glanced at the girl in the green dress, feeling a moment of compassion.

"Alright."

Ye Yun nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, fellow Daoists, for taking me in..."

The girl in the green dress smiled with joy, landing on the Celestial Boat, and bowed gracefully, saying, "My name is Yu Youwei, how should I address you, my brothers?"

"Ye Yun."

"Gu Zhan Tian."

"Dragon Tree."

The three of them introduced themselves in turn.

In a short amount of time, Ye Yun’s team had gained a beautiful new member.

After getting acquainted, Gu Zhan Tian curiously asked, "Yu Youwei, you’re such an adorable girl, how come you haven’t found a team yet?"

Yu Youwei smiled wryly, "Brother Gu, some teams I didn’t want to join, and some teams didn’t want me, so I dragged on until now to find your team..."

"Alright, our team doesn’t have many people, so when we obtain the Root of No Birth, there will be fewer to share it with!"

Gu Zhan Tian laughed.

"True, we’re not taking in anyone else in this team!"

Ye Yun agreed with a nod.

In truth, he had no particular desire for the Root of No Birth.

If he truly needed to refine elixirs, he could just have Dragon Tree cut one down, as Dragon Tree had so many roots, they couldn’t be used up even if he refined elixirs every day.

After forming the four-person team, they waited on the Celestial Boat.

From all directions, more and more cultivators arrived, gradually increasing by tens of thousands.

"There are truly many people this time..."

Gu Zhan Tian looked at the dense crowd in the distance, sighing with emotion.

The more people there are, the greater the competition pressure. With their team of four being so small, competing against so many others was indeed difficult.

"Alas, preserving our lives is the priority, obtaining the Root of No Birth is secondary..."

Gu Zhan Tian silently comforted himself.

"Brother Ye!"

Looking at Ye Yun’s handsome face, Yu Youwei, clearly with great enthusiasm, asked with a smile, "Brother Dragon Tree’s Buddhist Law is so profound, what is his cultivation level? I can’t seem to discern it."

The reason she asked Ye Yun.

Was that Yu Youwei also noticed, Dragon Tree was very respectful towards Ye Yun.

"Dragon Tree is at the Divine King Realm, a bit higher than our cultivation. He is my protector..."

Ye Yun glanced at Yu Youwei and said with a smile.

"Oh."

Yu Youwei nodded, then looked afar, gazing at the densely packed crowd, a hint of worry in her eyes.

She murmured to herself, "Everyone says this is the last time the Unborn Secret Realm will open, which is why so many have come this time..."

"Really? The Unborn Secret Realm is opening for the last time? Where did you hear such a rumor, how come I didn’t know?"

Gu Zhan Tian jumped up as if his seat was on fire, unable to resist loudly asking.

"I arrived early, wandering among various teams, and overheard some teams saying this..."

Yu Youwei answered honestly.

"That doesn’t sound very reliable!"

Gu Zhan Tian frowned, still finding it hard to believe.

Over millions of years.

The Unborn Secret Realm had opened over a thousand times, and he had never heard of it closing.

Ye Yun, after hearing Yu Youwei’s words, felt a stir in his heart, becoming somewhat interested.

Originally, he found this Unborn Secret Realm strange.

If this is truly the last time it opens, Ye Yun would not miss the opportunity and must uncover the reason for the Unborn Secret Realm’s existence.

Yu Youwei, with uncertain eyes, worriedly said, "I feel it might be true, otherwise why would so many come this time?"

"Alas, then we’re doomed, getting one Root of No Birth would be good for the four of us!"

Gu Zhan Tian moaned.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, don’t be so pessimistic, we might win big!"

Ye Yun smiled meaningfully.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, my cultivation isn’t very high, we’ll rely on your Dragon Tree friend for firepower!"

Gu Zhan Tian glanced behind Ye Yun, his eyes suddenly brightened, then he said excitedly.

To this Dragon Tree, he could never see through, it was extremely mysterious.

Perhaps, this fellow would surprise everyone.

Dragon Tree only smiled, not participating in the conversation.

Ye Yun interjected, "Don’t worry, Dragon Tree won’t let everyone down."

"That’s good."

Gu Zhan Tian exhaled, feeling lighter.

A disturbance in the distant void.

Whoosh...

A large bright yellow flag suddenly emerged, thrusting into a certain place in the void.

That place gathered tens of thousands of cultivators, when everyone saw this bright yellow flag, their faces changed dramatically, hurriedly scattering in all directions.

Some couldn’t dodge in time.

The bright yellow flag pierced into the void, quivering lightly, the cultivators who couldn’t dodge became a mist of blood.

"Hiss!"

Those who survived the ordeal turned to look at the bright yellow flag, eyes full of terror.

All around the entrance of the Unborn Secret Realm, the cultivators of various great forces were also shocked to see this bright yellow flag.

People started discussing amongst themselves.

"Wow, even the Banner of the Semi-Demon Xuanhuang is here!"

Gu Zhan Tian looked surprised, his eyes narrowing, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Fortunately, they were far enough away not to be affected by the Banner of the Semi-Demon Xuanhuang.

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, casually asking, "What is the Banner of the Semi-Demon Xuanhuang?"

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this Banner of the Semi-Demon Xuanhuang represents the Semi-Demon Sect. It’s a veteran God Emperor Level force, every disciple of the Semi-Demon Sect is half-human, half-demon, terrifyingly fierce, most people keep their distance..."

Gu Zhan Tian said with a look of horror.

"They sure are bold, arriving late but seizing other people’s territory, they didn’t even start, and with just a flag they carved out a large area..."

Ye Yun laughed.

"There’s no choice, the Semi-Demon Sect is indeed very powerful, unless people from the Three Teachings, Six Paths, Nine Gates come, otherwise everyone else has to concede!"

Gu Zhan Tian sighed and said.

"Brother Gu is right, but this time no one from the Three Teachings, Six Paths, Nine Gates has shown up, who knows if they will?"

Yu Youwei said.

"Who knows? In the past they rarely participated, it’s uncertain whether the final opening of the Unborn Secret Realm will attract people from the Three Teachings, Six Paths, Nine Gates to compete?!"

Gu Zhan Tian said.

Boom!

At this moment, the bright yellow flag suddenly glowed, shooting towards the depths of the sky.

Rumble...

A bright yellow vortex appeared, a brilliant beam of light descended.

After the light dissipated.

Hundreds of successors from the Semi-Demon Sect appeared around the Banner of the Semi-Demon Xuanhuang.
