Hearing Zhang Han’s words, all the people present simmered with laughter.

“Thirty-five disciples of the Heavenly Knights Sect have applied to go to the Kunlun Immortal World. And I’ve approved.”

Dong Chen contemplated for a moment and said, “Members of the Heavenly Knights Sect are martial artists, but they are also people. Being in our sect is just a part of their lives. They have every right to look for their opportunities.

“It’s only natural.”

Zhang Han laughed despite himself. Then, he said, “No sect could always be as firm as a rock. One day, some people would just leave. That also applies to you two.”

While speaking, he glanced at Mu Xue and Jiang Yanlan.

“When you get married in the future, you will also have to leave. But since I have accepted you as my disciples, you can always come to me if you have any difficulties.”

Zhang Han seldom said anything this sweet and considerate.

So, hearing he say that, Mu Xue and Jiang Yanlan felt warm currents coursing through their hearts.

“I won’t get married. Master, I’ll follow your footsteps and be your disciple forever,” Mu Xue answered in a low voice.

“I…”

Before Jiang Yanlan could finish, Sect Leader Jiang snorted and said, “There will be no problem since the one you’re going to marry is that Liu in the security group, right?”

“Ah?”

Zhang Han was suddenly taken aback.

“Why does it sound so strange when the words came out of Sect Leader Jiang’s mouth?”

On the other hand, Sect Leader Jiang coughed softly.

He threw a slightly reproachful look at Jiang Yanlan.

It was all her fault. Having heard her call that man Liu a million times, Sect Leader Jiang also called him so without thinking.

“Your Heavenly Knights Sect is not the only one facing the issue. Many members of my Luo Fu Sword Sect want to go to the Kunlun Immortal World, including Ding Jiuming. A total of 89 people have applied. The main reason that they are all so mesmerized about that place is that Daofu is so good at fooling others. Although he never compelled them to go, the temptation he offered is really appealing. If you ask me, I’d say it might not be a bad thing for them to go to the Kunlun Immortal World.”

Sect Leader Mu nodded, then said, “If it weren’t for Han, even I would be a little tempted. I haven’t made a breakthrough in martial arts for a long time.”

Hearing that, Sect Leader Jiang chimed in. “My Shuiyun Sect has 63 members who have planned to go there. The Roaring Dragon Sect, the Fire Lotus Sect, and the Authentic Martial Arts Sect in the Mystical Martial World are all planning to go.”

“There is more of it,” Lei Tiannan said with a smile, “I’ve heard that the Lihun Sect’s prized disciples, such as Yan Chen and Ye Longyuan, have also decided to go. Hu Yu from the Traceless Sect, Su Beimu from the Light Cliff, and many other famous disciples on the Divine List all want to visit the Kunlun Immortal World. They are all young and fearless to take challenges. Maybe some of those disciples would someday gain a firm foothold in the Kunlun Immortal World and become a master well-respected in an area. Frankly, I really want to watch the talented secular disciples fight those Princes and the Saintly Women in the Kunlun Immortal World. However, I can’t go to the Kunlun Immortal World now that I’ve boarded Han’s super chariot. I would be an idiot if I gave up such a great backer for the adventures in the Kunlun Immortal World, wouldn’t I?”

“Hahaha, Brother Lei, you’re being so honest.”

“Anyway, this batch of talented disciples is the most outstanding ones we’ve recruited over the last century. Maybe they can really make something of themselves in the Kunlun Immortal World.”

Talking and laughing, the group arrived at the eastern area of the Kunlun Mountain Range.

The area was already packed with people!

At one glance, there were at least more than 10,000 people there.

Most of them came from the worldlets.

How many martial artists were there in the martial arts world of Hua nation?

Adding those in the worldlets, there were only about 20,000 martial artists who were Wu Dao Grand Masters or at higher levels. Now that more than half of them had chosen to leave, it could be imagined that once they left, the whole martial arts world would slide into a depression.

But in Zhang Han’s view, the Ancient Mine and ancient relics were the real treasure land. Although martial artists couldn’t break through to the Elixir Realm here, their foundation would be more and more solid. Well, how many of those people had sold foundations?

In Zhang Han’s eyes, the so-called foundation was none other than the strength to fight against those who were at higher levels.

“Zhang Hanyang!”

“Merciless Zhang is here!”

“…”

Zhang Han’s arrival caused a commotion in the crowd.

Now it was almost time. Daofu stood still up in the air, looking thrilled.

He didn’t expect that he could fulfill his task so smoothly this time. Moreover, the other four people had all died, and he was the only one who was still alive. Thus, he would be able to take all the credit!

“Mr. Zhang.”

When Daofu saw Zhang Han, he quickly cupped his hands.

“Mm.”

Zhang Han didn’t bother to beat around the bush. He said straightforwardly, “Let’s go. I want to take a look at the passage.”

“Sure.”

Daofu nodded. Waving his big hand, he said, “Let’s go to Kunlun!”

The crowd filed into the depths of the Kunlun Mountain Range. Daofu was holding a precious bead giving off a soft glow. The surrounding fog suddenly rose into the air and turned into a round wheel. Waves of mysterious energy surged, as though something had been opened.

“The Kunlun Mountain Range is actually a complete whole.”

Zhang Han’s eyes flashed, and he could feel that the entire Kunlun Mountain Range seemed to be a treasure, and the so-called passages were also extending in line with certain rules.

The depths of the Kunlun Mountain Range were basically untraversed.

The scenery was picturesque, but the thousands of people present paid little attention to it. They all looked excited because they were about to enter the Kunlun Immortal World, a more advanced world! It was a world where there were no restrictions of heaven and earth and they could break through to the Elixir Realm.

It was a world that everyone yearned for.

It had also attracted most of the young talents.

That was also what made Daofu so elated because what he needed were exactly these talented disciples.

Ye Longyuan, Shi Fenghou, Ding Jiuming, Su Beimu, and many other talents could be seen in the crowd.

Finally, after 20 minutes’ walk, they arrived at a mountain spring.

“The entrance is at the mouth of the spring. Let’s go in batches.”

Without further ado, Daofu ran the energy of the pearl to communicate with the spring. All of a sudden, the piece of land within 50 meters around the mouth of the spring emitted a dim light.

“Go in!”

The first division of 100 people jumped into the mouth of the spring at the same time.

Then came the second, the third division…

When it was the turn of the fifth division, Ye Longyuan, who was in the crowd, was ready to jump in.

However, abruptly, he looked back at Zhang Han and said in a clear voice, “Zhang Hanyang, you are invincible in the world now, but you can’t break through here anyhow. But now that I’m entering the Kunlun Immortal World, in five years, I will catch up with you. When that time comes…”

“Swish, swish, swish!”

The faces of many people in the crowd altered slightly. After all, Ye Longyuan was the Devil Incarnate.

Could it be that he was going to do some trash talk before he departed?

However, there was a disparity between what really happened and what people imagined.

With a louder voice, Ye Longyuan continued, “When that time comes, I’ll come back and give you back the crystals I owe you!”

“Swoosh!”

As soon as he said that, Ye Longyuan plunged into the mouth of the spring without hesitation, leaving the crowd stunned on the side.

“What the heck? Ye Longyuan, could you not take such sharp turns when talking?”

Many disciples of the Heavenly Knights Sect were in the sixth division.

One of them bowed to Zhang Han and the others, saying, “Grand Elder, as soon as we go in, we will go to the Deep Valley and tell Mr. Zhang those pieces of good news. We’ll stay in the Kunlun Immortal World, waiting for you, Young Master, and Young Lord to join us!”

“Go in!”

Then, dozens of disciples of the Heavenly Knights Sect jumped in.

“Eldest Lady.”

Along with those in the seventh division, Ding Jiuming of the Luo Fu Sword Sect stood in the void, looking at Mu Xue with a trace of lostness in his eyes.

“Sect Leader, I-I… I want to… I want to say…”

“You can only say it now or never,” a Younger Martial Brother beside him reminded.

Hearing that, Ding Jiuming drew a deep breath and then said slowly, “When I break through to the Elixir Realm, I will propose to Eldest Lady.”

“Ah?”

Mu Xue was stunned.

She had also vaguely felt that her Older Martial Brother seemed to have a crush on her.

“You should get over me.”

Mu Xue waved and answered, “I gotta roam in the void with my master. We will never be on the same page.”

“We will,” Ding Jiuming said somewhat stubbornly. Then, he gave Mu Xue a significant look and turned to leave.

It was not until they parted that he revealed his deepest secret, which made Sect Leader Mu put on a slightly odd look.

But he didn’t make any comments.

Nor did he show his attitude.

Among those in the ninth division, Shi Fenghou was the most eye-catching one. He was one of the few former members of the Wind Snow School that were still alive. He was also the most powerful one.

“Zhang Hanyang.”

Shi Fenghou didn’t plan to say anything at first. But when he was hovering over the mouth of the spring, a raging storm seemed to have broken out in his mind and prevented him from calming down.

He turned around, looked at Zhang Han, and said slowly, “From that day on, you have become the goal of my whole life. You spared my life once. I’m going to enter the Elixir Realm. But if you are ever in danger, I will step forward to help because I still owe you my life.”

“The life you owe me is no big deal. Just don’t forget to pay me the crystals,” Zhang Han replied nonchalantly.

He had already mastered the Demons Curse. So far, he owed 80,000 crystals now. When he reached the Heaven Realm, the debt would be 160,000 crystals. The half-step to the Elixir Realm could be counted as a small realm. So, adding the compound interest, the debt would be 320,000 crystals. When he entered the Elixir Realm, it would soar to 640,000 crystals. When he reached the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage, it would be 1,280,000 crystals. When he came to the Elixir Realm Late-Stage, it would crest at 2,520,000 crystals. When he was at the peak of the Elixir Realm, the debt would exceed 5 million crystals. That might not seem a big fortune. However, there was still Ye Longyuan’s debt to collect. Zhang Han was not in a hurry. But, could Shi Fenghou really make it to the peak?

Breaking through to the Fake Yuan Ying Realm would bring the debt to more than 10 million crystals. When he faced the baptism of the energy of heaven and earth in the Cultivation World and entered the Yuan Ying Realm, it would be more than 20 million crystals. Although the Kunlun Immortal World had its own rules, entering the Cultivation World meant that a flood dragon had entered the sea and would soon become a real dragon. So, he would soon break through to the Yuan Ying Realm Middle-Stage, and that would bring the debt to more than 40 million crystals. At the Yuan Ying Realm Last-Stage, it would be more than 80 million crystals. If he reached the peak of the Yuan Ying Realm, it would be 160 million crystals.

“Shi Fenghou, work hard on your cultivation,” Zhang Han said beamingly when Shi Fenghou was about to enter the Kunlun Immortal World.

Shi Fenghou paused for a moment at his words and turned to look at Zhang Han. His lips moved, but he said nothing. Then, he left right off.

In the 15th division, Yan Chen was kind of a celebrity.

He didn’t go with the other disciples of the Lihun Sect. Instead, he said goodbye to his other friends before he took his leave. Just when he was about to jump, he turned round to look at Chen Changqing.

“Immortal King Chen, last time you defeated me with just two moves. To tell you the truth, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Now I understand. Not only did I lose to you, but I also lost to Zhang Hanyang. He is so powerful that he put me under great pressure. Also, you have the Qing Dragon blood, so you are mighty, too. But this time, you two will be left behind in the race. In less than three years, I will get to the Elixir Realm, whereas, you still can’t make a breakthrough anyway. So, if there is a chance to come to the secular world again, I will challenge you, Immortal King Chen.”

Yan Chen’s aptitude was terrifyingly awesome. All along, he had made one breakthrough in cultivation after another as if it was as effortless as eating and drinking.

After losing to Chen Changqing, he could not accept the result and started to have some doubts about his life.

But later, after witnessing Zhang Hanyang’s amazing strength, he realized that he had, in fact, lost to that monster. If it hadn’t been for Zhang Han, how could Chen Changqing have learned such a fierce move?

“I’ll wait for you.”

Chen Changqing laughed heartily and said, “When the time comes, I’ll show you the real power of the Qing Dragon blood.”

“Good.”

Yan Chen nodded. Then, he turned around and jumped into the spring.

One division after another went to the other world. The Radiant Sect’s Su Beimu and the others, as well as all sorts of famous talented disciples, had come to embark on the adventure.

An opportunity would be of little meaning if they did not seize it.

And they all believed that this was a golden opportunity.
