Chen Lei had completely given up hope, knowing that he could only rely on his own hard work to attain enlightenment through the Tianyan Divine Art. Chen Zhou really couldn't help him, so he stopped asking questions.
At this time, Chen Zhou said to Chen Lei and Ji Tianwu: "Chen Lei, Tianwu, go back and prepare. One day later, we will open the unique secret realm of Tianyan Sect for you to practice hard. This Tianyan secret realm is unique to my Tianyan Sect. Although it is not as rich in resources as the secret realm on the sea, it is the most suitable for my Tianyan Sect disciples. After you enter this time, you should gain something, at least you can improve a small realm."
Now, Ji Tianwu is at the middle level of the eighth level of Martial Emperor. If he can break through a small realm and reach the upper level of the eighth level of Martial Emperor, it will be an extremely heaven-defying opportunity for Ji Tianwu.
As for Chen Lei, since his cultivation was only at the first level of Martial Emperor, even Chen Zhou could not judge how much he could gain in the Tianyan Secret Realm.
"Yes, we will go back and prepare now."
Ji Tianwu and Chen Lei said something to Chen Zhou, then returned to their caves and made careful preparations.
At this time, several rainbow lights also flew towards Tianyan Sect. With a flash of light, eight figures landed in front of Chen Zhou. They were the masters of the other eight peaks.
These peak masters also spent this year training their newly-accepted disciples. After a year, these disciples made rapid progress and they were extremely satisfied.
"Sect Master, are you asking us to come here this time because of the matter in the secret realm?"
A peak master asked Chen Zhou, knowing that if there was nothing serious, the sect master would not have summoned all of them here.
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, it is because of this matter. A year has passed, and most of the disciples must have already started practicing. It is time to lay a solid foundation in the Tianyan Secret Realm. Therefore, I invited you to come and discuss the opening of the Tianyan Secret Realm."
Another peak master said, "We naturally agree to open the Tianyan Secret Realm, but, Brother, do you remember one thing? This time when the Tianyan Secret Realm is opened, I'm afraid we have to fulfill our promise back then."
After hearing this, Chen Zhou frowned slightly and said, "How could I forget this? However, I did owe Hanhai Sect a favor for what happened back then. This time, since we are going to open the Tianyan Secret Realm, let's fulfill the promise we made back then."
The masters of the other peaks nodded and agreed with Chen Zhou's opinion.
There had been countless grievances between the Tianyan Sect and the Hanhai Sect in the past, and they could be said to be mortal enemies.
However, one time, the wife of Chen Zhou, the leader of the Tianyan Sect, suffered from a strange disease that could only be cured with a magical herb unique to the Hanhai Sect, called the Hanhun Grass. For the sake of his wife, Chen Zhou personally went to ask the leader of the Hanhai Sect for help. In the end, the leader of the Hanhai Sect agreed to Chen Zhou's request, but put forward a condition.
The condition is that when the Tianyan Sect's secret realm is opened, their Hanhai Sect must use it once, so that the disciples of the Hanhai Sect can also enter the Tianyan Secret Realm and practice hard.
To be honest, this condition is extremely harsh. You know, the Tianyan Secret Realm can be said to be the foundation of the Tianyan Sect. If outsiders are allowed to enter, it is likely to cause infinite harm to the Tianyan Sect.
