Chen Tian and the other two also appeared at the Wind Thunder Secret Realm. The players here were as numerous as ants, all waiting for the Wind Thunder Gate to open so they could enter the secret realm.
Above the Wind Thunder Gate, fierce winds howled and lightning crackled, making the entire gate seem as if it were bathed in natural disaster. Chen Tian looked at the familiar scene and Hai Lang asked, "Chen Tian, do you know all the precautions we discussed earlier?"
"Pay attention, the Wind Thunder will guard the gate when it opens. Players entering will have to brave the strong winds and thunder. Be careful."
Hai Lang looked at Chen Tian with concern. Chen Tian nodded. Qing Ling and Chen Ling didn't seem to care, as this level of difficulty was nothing to them. With their memories restored, they could enter and exit as they pleased.
Then, thousands of players appeared in the sky, their numbers in the thousands. They were all from higher-level worlds. Since the Wind Thunder Secret Realm did not suppress player levels, it had become a treasure trove for many players.
Chen Tian's expression turned serious, and Qing Ling furrowed her brow. Chen Tian transmitted, "Be careful, I suspect there might be people from the Evil Spirit clan in this secret realm."
Qing Ling and Chen Ling nodded. Suddenly, the Wind Thunder Gate began to suck in the strong winds, and the thunderous storms erupted, instantly opening the gate. A vortex of wind and thunder appeared at the center of the gate, with fierce winds and crackling thunder surrounding it, as if guarding the Wind Thunder Gate.
Countless players rushed towards the gate. The strong winds acted like sharp blades, and players caught in them instantly turned into starlight.
Under the thunderous storms, lightning flashed and struck players' heads, preventing them from advancing.
Players in the sky, however, used their flying abilities to bypass the wind and thunder defenses and charged directly into the vortex.
"Damn it, it looks like we won't get any share this year."
"Who do you blame? They are all big shots who came prepared. Unlike us newcomers, we still have to figure things out."
"It's so unfair, why aren't these resources sold to lower-level worlds!"
...
Countless players grumbled. Chen Tian observed the players' state, a common sight in games. Hai Lang then asked, "Chen Tian, how do we get in?"
Chen Tian waved his hands, and a red shield instantly appeared, enveloping Hai Lang and the others. The sphere of light flashed and disappeared from its original position.
Inside the Wind Thunder Secret Realm, Chen Tian appeared above the sea of wind and thunder. This was an ocean formed by strong winds and lightning. Lightning flashed across the water. Chen Tian opened his eyes and said, "Random location, is it?"
The Wind Thunder Secret Realm had different modes, and it seemed this year was the random location mode. This meant Chen Tian, Qing Ling, and Chen Ling were separated.
However, Chen Tian was not worried. He looked at the surrounding ocean and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be the same after thousands of years. But there should be some changes."
As if responding to his words, lightning flashed across the entire ocean, and a stream of electrified water shot towards Chen Tian. The water was intertwined with lightning, as if its power had intensified.
Water conducts electricity, and this was the most violent lightning. Chen Tian opened his palm, blocking the stream of electrified water. With a flick of his hand, he sent it flying to the side, where it exploded.
Chen Tian opened his Divine Eyes and looked beneath the sea. A colossal figure appeared in his vision, its body covered by water, so Chen Tian could only discern its rough outline. It was approximately several thousand meters in size, with no other discernible information. However, Chen Tian could tell its level: level 100.
Chen Tian frowned, "Level 100! This is going to be tough. I don't have many trump cards left. Never mind, I'll find you later when I've recovered."
Chen Tian then made a gesture with his left hand, and a spatial rift appeared. He stepped into it, and his figure vanished from the ocean's surface. The colossal figure below became silent.
Chen Tian's figure then appeared on a mountain. He observed his surroundings, the forests filled with wind and thunder. He slowly reached out to a leaf, which crackled with lightning. Chen Tian said, "I wonder if the Thunder Pool is still here. I can't use wind element now, but it won't affect my improvement. Let's head to the Gale Core first!"
Chen Tian looked at the mountain before him and slowly moved forward. To Chen Tian, the Wind Thunder Secret Realm was as familiar as his own backyard. This secret realm was created by Ge Zi, who created it out of boredom in his idle days. As gods, they were indeed bored and sought entertainment.
The Ge Zi of the divine realm found them, and the birth of the Wind Thunder Secret Realm caused a bloody storm.
Before Chen Tian, he heard some sounds and said, "Someone got here before me."
Chen Tian was feeling bored, so he decided to check it out. He traversed the forest and grass, slowly approaching a cave. At the entrance of the cave, four players were looking at each other. When Chen Tian appeared, they only glanced at him and then paid him no further attention. A newcomer, they didn't consider him a threat.
Then, a young player with a sword spoke, "What's inside here is mine. You guys should leave."
"Why? Our levels are all similar. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Exactly. Treasures and resources belong to the capable. This isn't something you can decide with just one word."
"Heh heh!"
The four of them began to argue. Chen Tian, feeling ignored, cleared his throat. All eyes turned to him.
Chen Tian then said, "Excuse me! What's inside here is mine."
"Hahaha! Kid, you're only level sixty and you dare to speak so boldly? You haven't even surpassed the beginner stage. Do you know what you're doing? You're courting death!"
"Kid, you're too arrogant. Hurry up and leave, we can't be bothered with you!"
They completely disregarded Chen Tian. Chen Tian shook his head, took a step forward, and reiterated, "Everything inside here is mine. You guys leave!"
"Oh! Kid, since you're looking for death, I'll oblige you. Everyone, let's deal with this arrogant fellow first before discussing who gets what inside, alright?"
"Fine!"
Chen Tian looked at the situation before him and said, "Let's PK. It's me against the four of you. If I defeat you, what's inside will be mine. If I lose, I'll leave. How about it?"
"Fine! We won't bully you. We'll fight you one on one."
In their eyes, he was just a newcomer whom they could easily kill. They were confident of victory and seemed to have it all in the bag.
Chen Tian nodded, sent out the duel invitation, and said, "Who wants to go first?"
The four looked at each other. Honestly, bullying a newcomer would tarnish their reputation. They were hesitating about who should make the first move, as they cared about their reputation.
