The Myriad Sword Immortal sect understood that their mere promise to allow other factions into the secret realm was far from enough to deter the preparations being made against them. For this reason, the sect moved quickly to open the realm. The Seven Tombs Immortal had been successful in her mission to meet the Expanse Immortal, though not without difficulty. She had anticipated things would be challenging and had gone to the meeting prepared to give up a great deal in exchange for his help.
The two reached an agreement, and the Expanse Immortal returned with her to open the secret realm. In addition to many other benefits he was granted, he demanded that one hundred people from his Expanse Heavenly Empire be allowed to enter the secret realm to compete for the Great Furnace.
