Chapter 1565: Chapter 1561: Who is More Malicious! (Four Updates!)

When the bell tolled, Ren Feifan also noticed that the old man who had been asleep suddenly opened his eyes and even stood up, taking a step that astonishingly covered ten meters!

Terrifying indeed!

Wait, when had the old man become so powerful?

If this guy really was the old man, he had hidden his strength too deeply.

The old man made his way to the stage at the very center of the square!

With his hands clasped behind his back, he stroked his beard and fixed his gaze on Ren Feifan below the stage.

Ren Feifan could sense no True Qi fluctuations from the old man, but an aura of danger emanated from him.

Then, with a slight step of the old man’s foot, a sweeping energy surged forth, rendering every word he spoke clearly audible to those below the stage.

The old man’s gaze left Ren Feifan and swept over the various sections of the crowd, his voice booming, "Most of you here may not recognize me, but it doesn’t matter. I am just a decrepit old man from the Hidden Gate, whether you know this is of no concern to you."

As the old man finished speaking, the Taoist robed elder at the referee’s seat chipped in with a chuckle, saying to everyone, "Do you think he is just a decrepit old man? Let me enlighten you of his other title! He is the Destiny Master!"

When the four words "Destiny Master" resounded across the square, the whole world fell silent, followed seconds later by an uproar of fervent voices!

"Destiny Master!"

"Destiny Master!"

...

Ren Feifan below the stage was stunned by this sudden surge of fervor and surprisedly noticed that countless young talents of the Hidden Gate were actually shouting the four words "Destiny Master"?

Was this truly the old man’s official title and identity?

It seemed incredibly impressive.

Yet, he had never heard of it before.

Ren Feifan quickly turned to a fat man beside him and asked, "Brother, does the Destiny Master hold significant influence?"

The fat man glanced disdainfully at Ren Feifan and upon realizing Ren Feifan was from the Wanxiang Realm, his expression grew odd. After rolling his eyes at Ren Feifan, he scoffed, "Kid, you must be new here, even managing to get into Wanxiang Realm. But with your level, it’s normal you haven’t heard of the Destiny Master.

Let me tell you, the Destiny Master is one of the three grand Physiognomists of the Hidden Gate, elusive and mysterious, whose skills in physiognomy transcend the mortal plane. It’s said his predictions surpass destiny itself! Hence the title Destiny Master! Numerous powerhouses of the Hidden Gate have tried to seek his divination for fortunes, but all were ruthlessly turned away.

Because when the Destiny Master divines, it is entirely dependent on his mood! No matter how much money you offer, he might not even look your way.

Kid, now you understand how incredible the Destiny Master is, right?"

Ren Feifan blinked, finally grasping the extraordinariness of the old man.

But why would someone so revered within the Hidden Gate deign to scheme in the secular world?

Could it be that the secular world is not as simple as it appears?

Ren Feifan suddenly recalled that the old man had once expressed such views and was very concerned about some secular matters.

As Ren Feifan pondered, the old man on the stage extended his hand, paused for a few seconds, then continued to speak,

"Everyone please be quiet! The title of Destiny Master is a useless one, not belonging to me but to everyone. I would rather you call me the decrepit old man.

Today, it is I, this decrepit old man, who will announce some matters regarding this Secret Realm.

I know that almost everyone present here belongs to the most talented disciples of various sects and forces of the Hidden Gate, at least on the surface. You are all proud and think you are above everyone else.

But let me tell you, within the Holy Hidden Realm, those of you from the noble households are garbage, those from the Autumn Water Sect are garbage, even the disciples of Wuji Sect are garbage! All of you seated here are garbage!"

At these words, there was an uproar! Some were incredibly angry!

Although the Destiny Master was highly esteemed, to call the Prince and Wuji Sect garbage in front of so many people seemed too much.

After all, the disciples of these sects were all present!

As expected,

everyone from the Prince’s faction angrily glared at the old man, especially the eldest Prince, who was already upset by Ren Feifan and now suddenly had someone insulting the royal household. How could he not be furious?

He glared fiercely at the Destiny Master, and just as he was about to stand up and retort, his father reached out and held the eldest Prince’s shoulder.

"What’s there to be angry about? Relax, this is the normal procedure. Do you see any reaction from the Wuji Sect’s geniuses?"

The eldest Prince turned around, and indeed, Ren Feicheng and the others appeared calm and indifferent, cradling a sword as if they were asleep.

At this moment, the old man added, "Hmm, this batch of contestants aren’t bad, actually being able to remain composed despite my words. It seems this opening of the Secret Realm will be much more interesting than the last.

If I remember correctly, the last time the Secret Realm opened, my predecessor said the same thing, and instantly, several proud individuals stood up to argue, and none of them ultimately entered the Secret Realm; they were even suppressed by that predecessor.

The reason I say this is to remind you of the referee’s authority. Inside, we can’t bind you, but on the outside, regardless of your strength or background, you all must listen to us!"

The entire square fell silent, and those who had previously wondered about the purpose of establishing referees for the Secret Realm could now see that these elders obviously had contingencies planned!

The old man paused for a few seconds, seemingly giving people time to react, then said, "Moving on to the official business, the first rule of entering the Holy Hidden Realm: no contestant may kill outside the Secret Realm. If discovered, their qualification to enter the Secret Realm will be revoked!

The second rule, the duration of the Secret Realm is three months. During these three months, whether alive or dead, you must keep the Jade Token with you at all times, as it will be more important than your weapons inside the Realm!"

The crowd raised no objections; these talented disciples had entered various Secret Realms before and naturally understood some of these rules.

Moreover, they had prepared extensively for this Holy Hidden Realm.

The old man nodded, then continued, "Third, after three months, any treasures each of you acquires in the Secret Realm must be reviewed by our referee panel, and we may pick out any one piece! This means that whatever treasures you find could potentially end up in the hands of the referees!"

At this, the entire Hidden Gate was in an uproar!

The treasures obtained in the Secret Realm were hard-won by every cultivator, often at great peril to their lives, and now they were to relinquish them willingly? No one would be pleased!

Right then, a disciple from the Forest Sea Sect stood up, stretching out his hand, and challenged, "Destiny Master, I respect you as a master, but isn’t your referee panel too greedy? If you choose the most valuable treasures, how are we supposed to live? These are treasures we obtained at the risk of our lives, the third rule is unfair, I protest!"
