Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Teng Cheng’s words caused an uproar among everyone present; no one expected the Flower Race to stand up and speak for Princess Yin Yue.

Could it be that Princess Yin Yue reached out to the Flower Race?

Indeed, during the previous two openings of the Secret Realm, the Flower Race hadn’t sent anyone. Why did they suddenly come this time?

It’s highly possible that Princess Yin Yue approached the Flower Race, and perhaps because of an old connection with her father, they dispatched these three individuals to secretly assist Yin Yue.

People from other races felt their assumptions were correct, including the giant from the Moon Soul Race, whose expression also turned unsightly in an instant.

Aside from this, they couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

As for whether Teng Cheng was standing up for Lin Chen?

In their minds, this was impossible. The Flower Race is an Upper Race, and Lin Chen couldn’t possibly be noticed by the Flower Race.

These people naturally didn’t know that Teng Cheng spoke out to question the Ice Soul Race man’s words because he was already impressed by Lin Chen’s strength. In terms of Martial Path strength and potential, Lin Chen wasn’t inferior to the three members of their race.

With both strength and potential, and having won the Princess’s favor, Lin Chen has a high possibility of becoming their Flower Race Prince Consort; mocking Lin Chen would be equivalent to mocking their Flower Race.

How could a Prince Consort of our Flower Race be ridiculed by the Ice Soul Race?

Seeing Teng Cheng standing up for him, Lin Chen was somewhat astonished, and the Ice Soul Race man under Teng Cheng’s aura chose to remain silent.

Thank you.

Lin Chen gave Teng Cheng a grateful look, but Teng Cheng did not respond.

Noticing Teng Cheng’s awkward demeanor, Lin Chen chuckled internally; it seems Teng Cheng is indeed a haughty person.

With Teng Cheng’s intervention, regardless of their thoughts about Princess Yin Yue arranging Lin Chen to enter the Secret Realm, no one expressed them anymore.

At the scene, there was a silence for about ten breaths until the Second Elder of the Entropy Race appeared.

With the presence of the Second Elder of the Entropy Race, everyone saluted.

“According to the ancestral decree, today we open the Thousandfold Secret Realm.”

The Second Elder of the Entropy Race wasted no time; after glancing at everyone present, he waved his right hand, and three flags of different colors flew out from his sleeve, slowly ascending toward the sky. Eventually, the three flags ignited in mid-air, transforming into three columns of fire of different colors that shot deep into the sky.

The gauzy layers of clouds in the sky began shifting under the stirring of those three beams of light, eventually forming a vacuum zone.

At the end of the vacuum zone, a Cloud Gate slowly descended, finally appearing above everyone.

Watching the Cloud Gate descend, Lin Chen understood why the Secret Realm earned the name Thousandfold Secret Realm.

A thousand layers of clouds parted, revealing the entrance to the Secret Realm.

“The Thousandfold Secret Realm has no time restriction, but do your best; do not lose your life out of arrogance.”

The Second Elder of the Entropy Race scanned the passionate eyes of the young individuals present, giving them a reality check.

The Thousandfold Secret Realm is magical; inside, time flows slower than outside. Many geniuses entering seek the slowest possible flow of time, but the slower the flow, the greater the pressure. Even if they can bear it initially, problems will arise later when the body exceeds its load limit.

The Second Elder of the Entropy Race believed these geniuses would be warned by their elders before they arrived, but his words were mainly directed at Lin Chen.

The little princess of the Moon Soul Race wants Lin Chen to retrieve the treasure from the Secret Realm, but may not inform Lin Chen of these dangers.

Previously, he sent Qianlang to relay a message to humble the young people in his race, thereby owing Lin Chen a favor.

As for the substantial compensation he initially promised, he’s still contemplating it; it’s not too late to decide until results come from Lin Chen in the Secret Realm.

…

…

“Lin Chen, if it’s undoable, just concede.”

As the others began entering the Cloud Gate, Yin Yue spoke to Lin Chen.

Initially, she thought things would be simple. Since those traitors could collaborate with the Ice Soul Race, how could she be sure there aren’t those among the entrants also collaborating with the traitors?

Although she wants to retrieve the treasure, gauge the rebellion, and avenge her father, she also doesn’t wish to witness Lin Chen falling into danger inside.

“Don’t worry, I’m not one to risk my life recklessly. If necessary, I will willingly give up.”

Lin Chen nodded, watching as Teng Cheng and the other three stepped through the Cloud Gate, then stepped forward himself, entering the Cloud Gate.

…

…

Hiss!

As Lin Chen stepped into the Cloud Gate, he felt the surrounding space distort, while pressure closed in from all directions. Lin Chen immediately operated the Immortal Technique within himself, dispelling the pressure.

The moment he landed, Lin Chen’s gaze inquisitively studied his surroundings.

He stood on a vast plain, but apart from himself, there were no signs of anyone else.

Lin Chen didn’t find it surprising; Yin Yue and Qianlang had informed him that the space within the Thousandfold Secret Realm is extensive, and entrants are randomly distributed. Sixty-plus people in the Thousandfold Secret Realm were practically negligible.

“The pressure here is certainly much greater than the outside; those below Innate would hardly be able to move after entering.”

Releasing his Immortal Technique’s operation, Lin Chen felt a pressure pressing against his skin, causing his skin to inwardly collapse. He even felt the heaviness with each step he took.

“And this is merely the first layer of the Thousandfold Secret Realm; the deeper you go, the greater the pressure.”

Lin Chen raised his eyes to glance at the ceiling, clearly seeing the clouds above them as thick as a wall, while the second layer of the Secret Realm lay beyond those clouds.

To reach the second layer, one needs to find the entrance through the cloud wall.
