Chapter 38: Entering The Secret Realm
There are another two groups lead by women, both leaders being beauties, albeit one looking like a strict and fastidious ruler while one looks like a seductive and easygoing figure.
The other three groups are all led by young men appearing to be the same age as the ladies. One of them with a scholarly look wearing a plain daoist robe, gathering quite the attention to himself despite his average appearance. The other leader is a rough looking macho man carrying a club on his back, this one looking so ferocious that no weak-willed people appear to be in his group.
The last one appears to be a noble, elegant young man, wearing a purple uniform the same as the people around him, his build neither thin nor buffed.
The six leaders seem to be familiar with each other, as different kinds of emotions flashed in their eyes as they look towards the other leaders.
Before they manage to interact and talk with each other though, they are interrupted as one of the powerful cultivators starts speaking.
"Seeing as the secret realm is about to open, I\'ll explain some things to all of you" the man pauses for a while before showing a token that is familiar to almost all of the people around, "this is the entry token for the secret realm, I hope that none of you is foolish enough to go here without holding one of this for themselves, as while you may be able to enter the secret realm, but exit will definitely be a problem, let\'s just say that even people of our level will find it difficult to exit the secret realm unscathed without the secret realm token"
Hearing the man\'s explanation, some of the young cultivators starts to get out of the crowd embarrassedly, trying to hide their face as they rush to get away from the other people.
Seeing such things happening, the man nods in satisfaction before staring at the entrance of the secret realm, seeing the space around it starting to stabilize, he draws a talisman from his spatial ring and threw it towards the entrance, the space gradually solidifying as an image of the lands inside was displayed.
From the entrance, they can see a grassy field that spans as far as the eyes can see, within it are all kinds of beasts either prancing around or chewing at the grass. With anticipation in their eyes, the young cultivators start preparing as the man who opened the entrance speaks once again.
"I\'ll have the uninformed ones know that despite the visuals, you will be transported to a random area of the secret realm so forming groups will be something that come for later, I hope that all of you return safely having for yourself a greater ability to thread your path, you all can enter now."
As soon as the man finished, waves of young cultivator rushed towards the entrance, some even getting trampled by others as they fall to the ground. Seeing the commotion, Wu Xiaotian and Ling Feng stared and nodded at each other, before going their separate ways to enter the secret realm.
"Damn, that bastard is fast" Ling Feng couldn\'t help but curse witnessing how fast his good brother managed to reach the entrance, seeing him disappear as he crosses the spatial portal, he also picks up his pace and overtook all of the cultivators in his realm.
"This is beautiful…" Wu Xiaotian exclaims as he observes the spatial tunnel that is supposed to be the path towards the Crescent Moon Secret Realm. As he was pulled by the current towards his destination, he marvels at the view formed by the tunnel, an oddly magical black space dotted by a kaleidoscope of colors making it appear more mystical.
As he stares longer towards it, he felt as if there\'s that clicked in his mind, noticing this, he focused on observing the space as the thing in his mind gradually becomes clearer and clearer.
Entering a meditative state, he starts comprehending the mysteries he just observed, even using some of the Universal Coin he has to buy something that will expedite his comprehension, as he felt like this opportunity is one that will be difficult to encounter again.
As his thoughts gradually ease up, what was unraveled to him is something that comes to him as a great gift, thinking to himself how lucky he is to encounter a free opportunity to comprehend something like this.
As he spreads his senses, a weird new feeling rushed towards him as he felt the exact path that the spatial tunnel is travelling, not only that, but he can also feel multiple weak places from the spatial tunnel that he can rip open so long as he chooses to do so, just that he refrains doing so as he was uncertain of the extent of consequences of such action.
Seeing that the item he bought from the system was still working, he continues comprehending the mysteries of space, joyful that he managed to get another power that can help him with all his plans.
His lighthearted mood sure works wonder as his understanding of space deepens consistently. As he feels more and more weak points in the spatial tunnel, he smiles knowing that his mastery of space is increasing, and by the time that the item\'s effects end, he was already capable enough not only of ripping weaknesses in space, but also compressing and bending the space around him.
The surprise doesn\'t end there though as the system gives a generous reward once again, as if to tell him that comprehending the space is a huge achievement.
[Congratulations to the user for comprehending the mysteries of space, breaking through the first level of space mastery. Reward: Infinite Dimension System]
Seeing the rewards, Wu Xiaotian was ecstatic as he knows how hard it is to buy a system. Rushing to inspect the new system, he was smiling from ear to ear as he reads information about it.
[Infinite Dimension System (Lvl 1)]
[Info: Allows user to travel across dimension, the system issuing missions for the user to complete, granting the user rewards. The rewards vary from Universal Coins to gift packages and even items, cultivation tools, weapons and more]
[Note: The world the user will be transported to will be completely random, but the user will have more and more freedom to choose their desired place the higher the system\'s level is]
[Charges Available: 1/1(Refreshes Every week)]
"Now I also possess an infinite worlds cheat huh" he smiled as he thought of going to an earth like dimension, showing off his strength there as he conquers everything.
"Come to think of it, if the level of this system becomes high enough, won\'t I be able to return to Earth? Not that it\'s important to return there now anyways" Wu Xiaotian said as he reminisces about his former life as Nyx, while wondering how the children of the orphanage are now.
Given a chance, he would definitely visit Earth once again to take care of his former world, but he would never give up this life because of that, especially when there are peoples here who value him far too much.
He eventually gathered himself together as he approaches the end of the tunnel, the current pulling him in getting stronger and the nearly blinding light at the end of the tunnel gradually getting closer and closer, growing bigger.
As his body eventually passed towards the blinding light, his skin was greeted by a cool gentle breeze, the surrounding a bit dark and rocky, almost immediately, he realized that he\'s inside a cave, a humongously large one at that.
