Seeing Chen Changsheng in a daze, Qingfeng thought he was worried about the war between the two countries and immediately laughed.

"Don't think about it. Only those in the Golden Elixir Realm are qualified to participate in such wars."

"By the time you reach the Golden Elixir Realm, it will probably be over."

"The Boundless Secret Realm is about to begin. Hurry and go in with Senior Brother Yuanshan."

With that, Qingfeng pushed Chen Changsheng and Yuanshan forward.

At this moment, the three top cultivating sects—Heavenly Buddha Temple, Linglong Sect, and Shangqing Temple—along with the Royal Dynasty, jointly opened the seal of the Boundless Secret Realm.

A deep black hole suddenly appeared on the altar.

Those who had been selected were instantly sucked into the black hole.

...

After a dizzying whirl, Chen Changsheng and Yuanshan found themselves in a sea of flowers.

Looking around, Yuanshan tugged at Chen Changsheng's sleeve and asked, "Brother Changsheng, where are we?"

Facing his timid Ninth Senior Brother, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but smile wryly.

Before he came to Shangqing Temple, there were nine inner disciples.

Each disciple had their own strengths and unique personality.

His Ninth Senior Brother was famously timid in Shangqing Temple, being only thirteen years old this year.

Despite his young age, his talent was remarkable, possessing dual water and fire spiritual roots.

"Senior Brother Yuanshan, you're at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, don't be so timid."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Yuanshan gave a bitter smile.

"Brother Changsheng, you know me. I was brought to Shangqing Temple by Master when I was three."

"Every day it's just cultivation, cultivation. How would I know as much about the outside world as you do!"

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "Then will you listen to me?"

"Of course, I'll listen to you!"

"When you stole Master's Thunderstrike Wood, it was me who kept watch for you."

"Since you'll listen to me, let's start picking flowers now."

"Picking flowers?"

Yuanshan's face was full of confusion at Chen Changsheng's request.

"Brother Changsheng, why are we picking flowers?"

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"To make wine!"

"This should be the Hundred Flowers Sea within the Boundless Secret Realm, where flowers of all seasons can grow."

"I read in ancient texts about an immortal wine called Hundred Flowers Wine."

"The ingredients are brewed from flowers of all seasons, and all the flowers must be fresh."

"Because the conditions are so demanding, I've never been able to brew it."

"Now is a heaven-sent opportunity!"

Watching Chen Changsheng squatting to collect petals, Yuanshan scratched his head and said.

"But Master sent us in here to seek opportunities. If we pick flowers to make wine, how will we explain to Master when we get out?"

"According to the map of the Boundless Secret Realm I found, there's a ruined bronze ancient hall thirty miles east of here."

"The opportunity you mentioned is in the ancient hall, but it requires passing a test to obtain."

"If I know this information, others surely know it too."

"So now you have two choices before you."

"First, go to the bronze ancient hall, take the test, and fight to the death with disciples from other sects."

"Second, stay here with me to brew Hundred Flowers Wine. Master and Third Senior Brother love wine, and with Hundred Flowers Wine, we shouldn't face much punishment."

Faced with Chen Changsheng's choices, Yuanshan tilted his head in thought for a moment, then squatted down to join in picking flowers.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

The many geniuses who entered the Boundless Secret Realm were desperately seeking opportunities, fighting fiercely for them.

In contrast, Chen Changsheng and Yuanshan were living leisurely and carefree.

In the morning, they picked petals with dew, and at noon, they lay in the sea of flowers gazing at the sky.

In the afternoon, they followed ancient methods to recreate the Hundred Flowers Wine.

Their lifestyle was in stark contrast to the other cultivators who came here.

"Brother Changsheng, come quickly and see what this is."

Yuanshan's call made Chen Changsheng lift his head from the sea of flowers. Yuanshan was waving excitedly, as if he had discovered something.

"What is it?"

Chen Changsheng walked over and instinctively asked. Yuanshan pointed to the ground.

"Brother Changsheng, there's a stone slab with patterns here."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng squatted down, gently brushed away the dirt, and indeed found a stone slab engraved with patterns.

Touching the carvings, Chen Changsheng frowned and said, "This thing seems quite large. Let's dig it out and see."

With that, the two brothers began their excavation work.

After an hour of effort, a massive coffin appeared before them.

Strange characters were carved on the top of the coffin.

Yuanshan examined them closely and said, "Brother Changsheng, what kind of writing is this? I can't understand it!"

"Of course, you can't understand it. These are characters from two thousand years ago."

"What!"

"Two thousand years!"

"The Royal Dynasty was established only eighteen hundred years ago. Is this coffin from before the Royal Dynasty?"

"Shut up!"

"I've only recognized some of these characters from ancient texts. There are some I don't know. Let me think carefully."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Yuanshan immediately covered his mouth with his hand and stood obediently in place.

An hour later, Chen Changsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"So that's what it is. We've really hit the jackpot."

Seeing Chen Changsheng finally speak, Yuanshan hurriedly asked, "Brother Changsheng, what does it say?"

"A brief life summary of a person."

"I began cultivating from a young age. At eighteen, I fought 3,981 battles, winning 756 and losing 3,225."

"At eighty, I fought 4,498 battles, winning 1,325 and losing 3,173."

"At two hundred, I fought 1,650 battles, winning 985 and losing 780."

"At five hundred, I fought 130 battles, winning 115 and losing 15."

"At a thousand, I fought nine battles and won all nine, suddenly realizing there were no more worthy opponents in the world."

"Alas, I sought a worthy opponent all my life but could not find one, truly an unbearable loneliness."

"I found a Cave Heaven to retire in solitude, but after much thought, I chose another place, unwilling to let my legacy end."

"I buried this stone coffin beneath the sea of flowers, for the path of immortality is long, and only the sincere of heart may obtain it."

After reciting the text on the coffin in one breath, Yuanshan was left with his mouth agape in shock.

"Brother Changsheng, this person was incredible."

"To have fought so many battles in a lifetime, but why did he fight less as he got older?"

"Isn't it obvious? As the years passed, there were fewer people who could match him in battle!"

"Those nine battles at a thousand years old must have been earth-shattering."

"Nine battles, nine victories. Though just four simple words, they can't hide his excitement."

"Those nine battles must have been the most satisfying of his life."
