Open up and break into another world

"Look below!" a genius suddenly exclaimed.

Xu Ming lowered his head and looked, his gaze piercing through the clouds and mist.

He saw that the land below was completely crimson, as if flames had ignited the entire continent.

What amazed Xu Ming even more was that, looking down from the high altitude, he felt that this land seemed to be a phoenix undergoing Nirvana.

However, it was as if a mysterious force was suppressing the Nirvana of this "phoenix."

"This is the Divine Phoenix Secret Realm!" the voice of the Azure Luan World Master sounded, "The Divine Phoenix Secret Realm is divided into four areas—the Chaos Secret Realm, the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, the Primordial Secret Realm, and the Myriad Things Secret Realm! Alright, go ahead!"

With a thought from the Azure Luan World Master, he sent the ten thousand geniuses to the four secret realms respectively.

Whoosh!

Xu Ming only felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

He could no longer see the Azure Luan World Master, only the nine geniuses of the Chaos Secret Realm were by his side.

"The methods of a World Master are indeed unfathomable!" Xu Ming thought to himself.

In just the blink of an eye, Xu Ming had already arrived in the Chaos Secret Realm; moreover, he had no idea how he had arrived.

After that, Xu Ming looked at the surrounding environment again.

There were ten simple houses around.

Although the houses were simple, the formations arranged on them were extremely powerful; even a Nirvana Realm existence would probably not be able to break the formations on the houses.

Obviously, these ten houses were the residences for Xu Ming and the other ten geniuses.

"Brother Ming," Liu Hen, who was ranked second, said with a smile, "Why don't you choose a place to live first!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming said with a smile, "Anything is fine!"

The ten houses were actually no different.

Liu Hen added, "According to the tradition of the Chaos Secret Realm, houses are chosen according to the ranking!"

"Is that so?" Since that was the case, Xu Ming didn't stand on ceremony and randomly chose one; then, he asked, "Liu Hen, you seem to know quite a bit about the Chaos Secret Realm?"

The other eight geniuses also looked at Liu Hen.

"Yes!" Liu Hen nodded and said, "An elder in my sect once came out of the Chaos Secret Realm, so I know a little about it!"

"Brother Liu Hen, please tell us about it!" Chi Yun, who was ranked sixth, said.

"I don't know much either!" Liu Hen said, "As far as I know, in this Chaos Secret Realm, besides us from this era, there are also geniuses from previous eras!"

Chi Yun asked in surprise, "Once you enter the Chaos Secret Realm, you can still be eliminated to the other three secret realms?"

"Of course!" Liu Hen said, "Without competition, how can there be pressure? Only when the competition is more intense can the potential of geniuses be better tapped!"

"That's true…" The other geniuses nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Chi Yun's expression changed and he said, "The hundred Xuanhuang Realm geniuses in the Chaos Secret Realm were all selected from hundreds of eras? Doesn't that mean… besides the ten of us, the other ninety Xuanhuang Realm geniuses are very strong? They are likely to be at the peak of the Xuanhuang Realm?"

"Not only that!" Leng She also noticed the problem, "Those Xuanhuang Realm geniuses from previous eras in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm are probably far stronger than us! Will they eliminate us to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm?"

Liu Hen said, "Don't worry too much! We can at least stay in the Chaos Secret Realm for one era; even if the geniuses in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm want to challenge us, they will have to wait until the Myriad Domains Genius Battle in the next era!"

"Phew—" Leng She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he still felt a lot of pressure—he knew that he had to raise his strength to the peak of the Xuanhuang Realm within one era! Otherwise, after one era, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in the Chaos Secret Realm.

Among the ten geniuses, the one with the least pressure was undoubtedly Xu Ming!

"One era?"

Xu Ming has only cultivated for a few thousand years! After an era, Xu Ming's cultivation might be at the Domain Lord or World Master level, or even a Supreme; who would still be here playing with a group of Xuanhuang Realm kids!

"In any case, we must seize the opportunity to cultivate in the Chaos Secret Realm in this era!" The other nine geniuses all had firm gazes in their eyes.

"Hahahaha…" Suddenly, a wanton laugh sounded, "The geniuses of this era have arrived!"

Xu Ming, Liu Hen, and the others turned their heads to look.

It was only then that they saw a genius in a scarlet robe had appeared nearby.

The aura emanating from this genius made the other nine geniuses besides Xu Ming feel slightly nervous.

"Peak of the Xuanhuang Realm?"

"A peak Xuanhuang Realm genius who can stay in the Chaos Secret Realm is probably comparable to a Primordial Realm expert in the endless chaos…"

"Haha, everyone, don't be nervous!" The scarlet-robed genius said with a smile, "You can call me 'Senior Brother Huang Yu'! I'm here because I have something good to find you for!"

"Something good?" The expressions of Liu Hen and the other geniuses were all skeptical.

Good things don't fall from the sky!

How can there be so many good things in the world?

"Xu Ming, Liu Hen, Leng She…" Huang Yu's gaze swept over the five geniuses ranked in the top five, and he even announced their names, "The good thing I'm talking about is for you!"

"What is it?" Xu Ming said indifferently.

"You must have many things you don't understand since you just arrived in the Chaos Secret Realm!" Huang Yu said with a smile, "Actually, there are many treasures in the secret realm that are of great benefit to your cultivation; but it is difficult for you to obtain these treasures! And I am willing to provide you with these treasures so that your cultivation can be rapidly improved!—You should also know that if your strength is not enough within an era, you will be eliminated to those inferior secret realms!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming raised his eyebrows—it did sound like a good thing!

"What do you want?" Xu Ming asked, "Chaos Source Stones? Or Chaos Source Crystals?"

"No!" Huang Yu shook his head and said, "I only want… Divine Phoenix Essence!"
