Su Changqing glanced at the two of them and then withdrew his gaze.

What he needed to do was not to be ostentatious, but to hide his true abilities.

After all, Su Changqing's cultivation level was not outstanding among the crowd, slightly below average, and wouldn't attract much attention.

Lying low could maximize his benefits.

Su Changqing's eyes shifted and he saw a few martialists from Feiyun City, including Bai Ruochu and Zhao Kai.

Clearly, the opening of the Emperor Secret Realm this time was a significant opportunity for these families from Feiyun City.

"Look, the secret realm is about to open!"

At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted excitedly.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

They saw the direction of the secret realm trembling, as a secret realm rose from the ground, causing the mountains to shake.

Countless eyes were filled with endless joy and excitement.

"My god, this is an ancient Emperor Secret Realm, there must be some incredible opportunities inside."

"Definitely, this is my chance to soar to the skies."

"Nonsense, you think you can soar to the skies? Keep dreaming."

"........."

"......"

Chu Xuan's beautiful eyes were fixed on the direction of the secret realm, her face showing some seriousness:

"Junior Brother, the secret realm is about to open, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll be careful."

Su Changqing said with a smile.

He wasn't some reckless fool; getting rich quietly was the way to go.

Seeing Su Changqing's confidence, Chu Xuan's face relaxed considerably.

"Alright."

Before long, the secret realm officially opened.

Countless martialists rushed inside one after another, and in just a few dozen breaths, hundreds of people had entered.

"Senior Sister, I'm going in first."

"Okay!"

Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, watching Su Changqing enter the secret realm.

He blended into the crowd; despite his outstanding appearance and demeanor, his cultivation level was slightly below average, so not many people noticed him.

[Ding! Successfully entered the secret realm, obtained: Nine Nether Bone Spirit Fire (Emperor-grade)]

In an instant, as Su Changqing stepped into the secret realm, the system's voice sounded.

Immediately, the Nine Nether Bone Spirit Fire appeared within him.

In his dantian, a cold-colored flame rose, containing terrifying energy.

"As expected from the system, it's freaking amazing."

Su Changqing marveled.

An Emperor-grade flame was extremely terrifying, even Supreme Realm experts found it hard to tame.

But with the system, Su Changqing could fully control it without any discomfort.

"With the boost from the Emperor-grade flame, my strength has increased by at least one or two times. I wonder how strong I am now."

Su Changqing pondered to himself.

After all, he hadn't yet faced a Dharma Form Realm martialist, so he couldn't gauge his strength.

But for a being like the Celestial Ice Python, he estimated he could now take it down in one move.

Calming his mind, Su Changqing looked inside the secret realm.

The people who entered with him were all standing beside him, and Su Changqing blended into the crowd, unremarkable.

There were thousands of martialists who entered the secret realm, with the lowest cultivation level being the Mortal Transformation Realm, and quite a few Wheel Sea Realm martialists.

As for Dharma Form Realm martialists, there were only a few dozen.

In front of everyone was a staircase.

The staircase was long, with ninety-nine steps from bottom to top.

This seemed to be the first checkpoint.

Everyone looked at the staircase, but no one acted first.

After all, they didn't know what was on the staircase or if there was any danger.

Lei Keming squinted his eyes, looking ahead, as a Lei Family disciple approached him.

"Second Young Master, I think we should find a few people to go up and test it first. If there's no danger, then we can go."

The Lei Family disciple's suggestion was approved by Lei Keming, who curved his lips into a smile.

"Not bad, makes sense."

With that, he shifted his gaze and randomly picked a few Mortal Transformation Realm martialists.

These people were from third or fourth-rate small forces and weren't very strong.

"You guys, go up!"

Lei Keming's words carried an undeniable tone.

Those people were clearly stunned.

They hadn't expected to become the pathfinders.

But no one around spoke up, and some even had a hint of expectation in their eyes.

Better them than me.

Having someone else test the path was beneficial for them too.

Naturally, Su Changqing wouldn't stand up for these people.

He wasn't a saint. Even if these people died, or everyone present died, what did it have to do with him?

Knowing they couldn't resist, those people gritted their teeth and stepped onto the staircase.

On the ninety-nine steps, as soon as they stepped onto the first step, they felt immense pressure.

They gritted their teeth and continued upward.

After ten steps, they were already sweating profusely, their legs trembling.

"It seems there's some kind of gravitational effect on these steps."

Su Changqing calculated in his mind.

Others also noticed the situation.

"It seems there's no danger."

Lei Keming squinted his eyes and said.

These ninety-nine steps seemed to serve as a filter.

"Let's go, head up first!"

After speaking, Lei Keming took the lead and flew onto the steps.

Seeing this, the dozens of Lei Family disciples behind him followed suit.

The Charm Demon Sect's candidate saintess, Li Muxi, also immediately followed.

Subsequently, countless martialists began to climb.

Lei Keming was indeed impressive; in just a few dozen breaths, he had climbed halfway and continued to ascend.

Su Changqing looked around at the people, all trying their best to climb. Some were under immense pressure, struggling to endure, while others gritted their teeth and persevered.

"Interesting."

Su Changqing smiled slightly.

Then, blending into the crowd, he began to ascend as well.

As he stepped onto the first step, Su Changqing felt a hint of pressure.

Of course, it was just a hint.

This pressure had no effect on him, as Su Changqing possessed the Sky-Overlord Body, an Immortal-grade physique.

However, he didn't draw too much attention and maintained a steady pace, walking neither fast nor slow.

Halfway through, Su Changqing encountered two familiar faces.

"Bai Ruochu, Zhao Kai."

Their faces were full of difficulty, sweating heavily as they trudged upward.

They clearly noticed Su Changqing beside them.

"What a coincidence."

Su Changqing grinned.

Seeing him walking effortlessly, at a leisurely pace, the two were dumbfounded.

Didn't he feel anything?

Although they had witnessed Su Changqing's strength before, the current situation still left them bewildered.

"You guys take your time; I'll go ahead."

Su Changqing smiled slightly and continued to walk up leisurely, as if taking a stroll, with no pressure at all.

Watching Su Changqing's departing figure, Zhao Kai gritted his teeth.

"Damn!"

"What the hell is this monster."

He was a bit shaken.

Zhao Kai's mindset was slightly crumbling, and Bai Ruochu was also a bit bewildered.

The two gritted their teeth and continued to climb.
