While Lu Ye was absorbing the Source Crystal to enhance his strength, within the Secret Realm, a piece of news even more sensational than the chase of the Three Yin Sect Saint Son was spreading.

Xiao Yun, the true disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect leader... had an astonishing battle with the Five Poison Sect Saint Son!

Both were strong contenders for the Spirit Pool in the Secret Realm this time, and this news quickly spread throughout the Secret Realm.

"What was the result? Who won?"

"Yes, the fight happened, but what's the outcome, Grandma Li?"

Some anxious Innate Realm cultivators immediately asked after listening to their friends' recount.

Both are top Innates... who is stronger?

Someone said, "It seems... the battle was inconclusive, ultimately, Xiao Yun from Myriad Laws Sect left first."

Another person curiously asked, "The Three Yin Sect Saint Son is also a top Innate, but someone was able to chase him! I wonder if this mysterious Innate who chased the Three Yin Sect Saint Son can defeat these two?"

"Not necessarily... Although the Three Yin Sect Saint Son is a popular candidate, his cultivation technique is naturally countered by the Profound Yang Attribute, and his strength at the Innate Ninth Layer Early Stage isn't considered the strongest this time, among the ten top Innates, I believe... the Three Yin Sect Saint Son is the weakest."

This comment made many people feel it was reasonable.

When Lu Ye arrived at the Holy Mountain Spirit Pool and heard this, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Who would've thought, the Three Yin Sect Saint Son is hiding so deeply.

His strength at the Innate Ninth Layer Middle Stage was cleverly concealed as the Ninth Layer Early Stage, quite cautious.

If the Three Yin Sect Saint Son knew Lu Ye's thoughts, he would probably jump up in indignation.

He only hid one minor realm... but Lu Ye?!

Who in their right mind as an Innate Fourth Layer can fight an Innate Ninth Layer?!

This is like having an ocean hidden within!

As time went by, more people arrived at the foot of the Holy Mountain, waiting for its opening.

Lu Ye had time to observe the Holy Mountain.

This was a pitch-black mountain, roughly several hundred meters high, with Heaven and Earth Source Qi more concentrated than in other regions of the Secret Realm.

At the top of the mountain was a pool of azure water, with ten high platforms floating within.

A massive array covered the entire Spirit Pool.

As he watched the ordinary Innate Realm cultivators arriving one after another, Lu Ye knew.

Once the Holy Mountain Spirit Pool officially opens, a wave of Source Qi tide will erupt within the Holy Mountain.

Though its effects are far less tempered than the Spirit Pool, for these ordinary Innate Realm cultivators, it is also an opportunity for enhancement.

At this time, the surroundings of the Holy Mountain Spirit Pool had already been divided into several areas.

Closest to the Spirit Pool, several people were already standing, and when other Innates glanced over, they all carried a hint of fear.

Lu Ye looked and recognized the three groups, all wearing sect attire.

Myriad Laws, Red Cloud, Cyan Thunder... the Three Great Sects of the Northern Territory!

Tian Qing quietly said on the side, "These Innate Late Stage individuals are all elders from the Three Great Sects."

Lu Ye nodded slightly, realizing this confirmed Myriad Laws Sect still reigns supreme, aside from having Innate Eighth and Ninth Layer elders, they could also produce a Innate Ninth Layer true disciple.

"In the Northern Territory, the strongest among loose cultivator Innate Realm should be Elder Yinmang of Yinmang Mountain, unfortunately, he hasn't come to this Secret Realm," Tian Qing added.

Elder Yinmang?

Lu Ye nodded slightly and then looked towards the Red Cloud Sect area.

Standing there, aside from the Red Cloud Sect Elder, was a woman with a gentle demeanor, none other than Su Wan whom he hadn't seen in a while.

Of course, Lu Ye was deliberately hiding his identity now, so Su Wan wouldn't recognize him.

Moments later, another Innate Realm figure appeared out of thin air and quickly landed.

"It's the Three Yin Sect Saint Son!"

"I heard he was just being chased a while ago..."

"Who was so daring?! Could it be a top Innate from Southeast Two Realms?"

"Possibly, they say there are more experts in Southeast Two Realms."

The Three Yin Sect Saint Son landed, his gaze first sweeping across the Three Great Sects area with indifference.

Then...

He casually scanned and his gaze landed on the black-clad Lu Ye, his expression turned slightly unnatural.

Red Cloud Sect area.

Su Wan noticed the Three Yin Sect Saint Son's face change unnaturally and curiously followed his sight.

She wanted to see who was bold enough to chase the latest Three Yin Sect Saint Son everywhere.

Upon seeing the black-clad figure, a flash of surprise appeared in Su Wan's mind.

"This figure... I've seen it somewhere before?"

Su Wan quickly searched through her thoughts and, moments later, as the familiar figure surfaced in her mind, she nearly lost her composure.

Because... the figure in question turned out to be Lu Ye, who previously fed her a lot of dog food.

At this serious occasion, Su Wan truly struggled not to laugh.

One was a Jiang Family son-in-law, the other... a top Innate capable of chasing the Three Yin Sect Saint Son, these two had nothing in common.

Except for a slight similarity in build...

After all, Lu Ye was explicitly named a servant disciple by his master.

A year ago, he was only a Condensing Origin Realm.

No matter how good the medicine, it's impossible to become a top Innate in just one year's time.

...

Shortly after the arrival of the Three Yin Sect Saint Son, two more figures full of battle intent came to the Spirit Pool.

"It's the Five Poison Saint Son and Xiao Yun of Myriad Laws Sect!"

The Three Great Sects each have two Innate Late Stage individuals, totaling six, plus the Five Poison Saint Son and the Three Yin Saint Son... the top Innates from the Southeast Two Realms are yet to arrive.

"We don't know if our top Innates in the Northern Territory are stronger than those from the other two realms?"

Many people had similar doubts in their hearts.

Under such circumstances, the Northern Territory Innates quickly realized the top Innates from Southeast Two Realms might be doing this deliberately!

Right now, they might already be near the Holy Mountain but intentionally appeared last, aiming to be the climax.

"The experts from Southeast Two Realms are quite grand," the Three Yin Sect Saint Son remarked.

The Cyan Thunder Sect has been at odds with the Three Yin Sect, especially after the elders from both sides perished in Mei Mountain Town, each thinking the other did it.

A Cyan Thunder Sect elder spoke cynically, "I heard the Three Yin Saint Son was chased recently... you're not injured, right?"

This remark heralded a good show as many knew, although the news spread through the Secret Realm, not many dared mention it before the Three Yin Saint Son.

Sure enough, the Three Yin Saint Son's face suddenly turned somber.

"What, do you want to test the Saint Son's strength too?"

Though he feared Lu Ye's terrifying Sword Momentum, it didn't mean he was afraid to fight any Innate Eighth or Ninth Layer.

The Cyan Thunder Sect's Innate Eighth Layer elder was also hot-tempered, glaring as he said, "Fight then! The Saint Son who was chased everywhere acts all high in front of me?! Really thinks I'm scared of you!"
