"Yes," Gu Chen nodded.
The middle-aged man glanced at him, also knowing that Gu Chen was the leader among the six, and asked him, "Is there anything you need or any help you seek?"
"This..."
Seeing the middle-aged man’s enthusiasm, Gu Chen and his companions were somewhat at a loss.
After all, they were new here and really didn’t understand anything.
Noticing this, the middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Follow me, I’ll take you around."
Afterward, Gu Chen and the others followed the middle-aged man around the city.
While they wandered, the middle-aged man explained some common knowledge to Gu Chen’s group.
For example, the city was called Sand City because there was a desert not far away. In the past few battles of the Ten Thousand Tribes, many exceptional beings had come to Sand City since it was relatively on the outskirts.
Therefore, the residents of the city had seen many people from the Upper Realm and wouldn’t be surprised to see Gu Chen and the others.
In the meantime, the middle-aged man had also questioned Gu Chen and his companions about the current state of the Upper Realm, a wistful look in his eyes.
"I truly long for the boundless world outside," the middle-aged man sighed.
Yun Zishu looked at him and asked, "Do you want to leave the Sacred Realm?"
"Of course," the middle-aged man replied without hesitation. "We have been here for far too long, and many of us yearn for the world outside."
Hearing this, Gu Chen slightly nodded in agreement. Although the Sacred Realm was extraordinary, living in one place generation after generation for years on end, not to mention the significant limitations, it was natural to long for the outside world, the endless expanse of land and sky.
Of course, wanting to leave was one thing, but being able to do it was another. Moreover, the Sacred Realm was their root; leaving it would be like floating weed without a foothold—there might not be a place for them on the outside.
Afterward, the middle-aged man asked Gu Chen about the world outside, then he in turn introduced them to the core areas of the Sacred Realm.
Turns out, these outer cities, which were just common cities, were inhabited by beings with relatively average cultivation talent who had been dispatched there.
That is to say, the closer to the center one went, the more opportunities there were, the stronger the beings became, and the environment improved too.
At this point, the middle-aged man said something that caused a change in the expressions of Gu Chen and the others.
"This opening of the Sacred Realm might truly be the last one, those imperial and royal families will be determined to find a way out."
"Why is that?!" they asked hastily.
Because traditionally, despite spending years and years within the constrained world of the Sacred Realm, many longed to break free—after all, Great Powers were the ceiling, tough to breakthrough, which was naturally difficult for a cultivator to accept.
However, due to the existence of the Epochal Calamity, these tribal powers in the Sacred Realm had chosen not to leave and had continued to this day.
If the imperial and royal families’ thoughts were changing now, it meant there had to be some reason!
Hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed, "It is said that the Sacred Realm is on the brink of destruction, so those imperial and royal families are all seeking a way out."
"The Sacred Realm is going to be destroyed?!" Gu Chen and the others were startled—this was shocking news. Did the strongest beings from the outside world know about this?
The Sacred Realm was extraordinary, existing for eons. The lineage and heritage of those imperial and royal families were equally transcendent. If it weren’t for the ceiling set by numerous high-level beings from past epochs, these powers might have already developed into something else.
Once they left the Sacred Realm and went to the Upper Realm, it was needless to say that strong beings among the imperial and royal families would face an explosive breakthrough!
For any force, strong beings were highly sought after, let alone now that the Epochal Calamity was nearing. If these imperial and royal families were willing to leave the Upper Realm, many powerful forces would be very eager to welcome them.
At that time, the pattern of the Upper Realm would inevitably undergo a drastic change.
"That is to say, this time, the imperial and royal families within the Sacred Realm are very likely to cooperate with some extremely exceptional beings!" Gu Chen and Long Yi instantly thought of this critical point.
After all, no matter how outstanding their heritage was, these imperial and royal families had been isolated in the Sacred Realm for eons and didn’t understand the situation in the Upper Realm. Even rashly going out could lead to considerable resistance from many forces of the Upper Realm.
Because the Upper Realm pattern was set, and with the Sacred Realm’s destruction, the appearance of these native inhabitants in the outside world would inevitably involve tremendous interests.
Therefore, to integrate quickly into the Upper Realm and cooperate with powerful forces was the best way out for these natives and even those imperial and royal families.
And the so-called top ten tribes and undying level Dao lineages naturally became the first choice!
"It seems that, in this battle for supremacy among the Ten Thousand Tribes, the waters will run deep, unfriendly for lone wanderers," Gu Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.
If a prodigy received support from one of the imperial or royal families within the Sacred Realm, gaining opportunities would naturally become much easier.
Even the competition in the battle for supremacy among the Ten Thousand Tribes could evolve from the struggle between the younger generation to the struggle between the imperial and royal families backing them.
And if you were alone and targeted by these forces, death would be a miserable fate!
After all, the native inhabitants of the Sacred Realm had lived here for ages, and not only those imperial and royal families but the other powers as well were not to be trifled with!
The conversation with the middle-aged man greatly influenced Gu Chen and Long Yi, making them aware of many things in advance.
Then, after a tour around Sand City and realizing there was nothing they needed, they used a teleportation formation with the middle-aged man’s help to travel deeper into the Sacred Realm.
The middle-aged man was clearly very eager for the outside world, so he was quite enthusiastic toward Gu Chen and his companions from the Upper Realm, nearly amounting to an exchange of information.
After all, if the Sacred Realm was destroyed, he would definitely need to go to the Upper Realm; knowing more about the situation there certainly wouldn’t hurt.
Leaving Sand City behind, Gu Chen and his companions stepped onto a teleportation formation and arrived at a second city.
The guard force here was somewhat stricter, and the teleportation formation was closely watched, clearly different from the open style of Sand City.
Because they were new here and didn’t know much, Gu Chen and his companions decided to stay for a few days, during which they met some other exceptional beings from the Upper Realm.
This city was not short on strong beings, and Gu Chen and the others mostly spent time understanding the conditions of the Sacred Realm’s core and the ruling imperial and royal families.
However, one day, the whole city became abuzz because someone had brought back explosive news from the outside: a Shocking Fortunate Encounter was about to emerge!
Upon learning this news, even Gu Chen could no longer maintain calm, his expression greatly altered—he hadn’t expected to encounter such an opportunity upon just arriving at the heart of the Sacred Realm, truly a unique and momentous event that could shake both realms!
