SuYienteredtheSanctifiedMartialSecretRealm,whereeverywherewasshroudedinahazymistthatobstructedvisionandevenaffectedspiritualpower.
Soon,SuYiandseveralmembersofYutianPalacebecameseparated.Uponenteringtheentranceoftheboundlessmist,manywhohadoriginallytraveledtogetherbecamescattered.

SuYiwasnotafraidofthosedemonbeasts.Hebelievedthattherewouldnotbeanyexcessivelypowerfulonesinside.Otherwise,thepeoplefromtheSacredMountainandtheFiveSectsandThreeSchoolswouldnotdaretorisksendingtheirdiscipleshere.

ThedemonbeastfelttheauraemanatingfromSuYiandinexplicablytrembledwithfear,itsfierceeyesfilledwithunease.
"Let’sgo!"
SuYiwavedhishand,scoldedthedemonbeast,andhadnointentionofresortingtoviolence.

"Nosecretsshallbekept!"
Thethreeyoungindividualsbowed,stillshakenandunsettledaftersurvivingthecalamity.
Afterward,SuYilearnedfromthesethreeindividualsthatallparticipantsoftheSaintMartialAssemblywerescatteredaroundtheperimeteroftheSanctifiedMartialSecretRealm.Theexit,however,layatthecenteroftheSanctifiedMartialSecretRealm.Alongtheway,thereweretrialsandchallenges.Onlythethirty-twoindividualswhocouldbreakfreefromtheSanctifiedMartialSecretRealmwouldbeabletostepfootontotheSanctifiedMartialPlatformoftheVoid.ThatwouldbetheultimateshowdownandthetrueclimaxoftheSaintMartialAssembly.
