Secret Realm Opens, Guests Arrive

"Young Master, this Secret Realm, can we enter as well?" Big Wang asked excitedly.

Little Wang on the side also looked hopeful.

Looking at the duo's appearance, Xue Bai laughed. Secret Realms were synonymous with opportunities and skyrocketing cultivation. They could turn a trash into a genius, yet they could also do the opposite, destroying someone's future cultivation or even cause death.

However, the twins looked excited, ignoring the peril. Most likely, they were confident in their abilities. Sadly they wouldn't be able to enter this Secret Realm.

"No, you two cant. The limit is the Muscle Nourshiing Realm and below. If you two were to enter the Secret Realm, it would collapse almost instantly." Xue Bai said, crushing their hopes.

Downcasted, the two lowered their eyes while they waited for their next orders.

"Alright, take me to the second set of coordinates I gave you. The Secret Realm's entrance is over there." Xue Bai ordered.

Nodding, the two started to guide Xue Bai toward the second set of coordinates. Though Xue Bai knew the coordinates to important locations from the game, he didn't know how to get there with just that, so he had the twins lead him there.

Along the way, Xue Bai would also fight the beasts that were arrogant enough to challenge the twins. Through that, he verified his guess on his strength.

He was as strong as someone in the second stage of the Blood Exchange Realm. But with his Space Element, he could potentially kill anything in his Realm if they didn't protect their body with Spiritual Qi. Even if it was a higher realm, with a sneak attack, he could inflict severe damage if not kill them outright.

This brought a smile to his face, as in this manner, he wasn't far from the protagonists.

While he was thinking of his future, the group of three made it to the Secret Realms entrance, the foot of a cliff.

"Young Master, these are the coordinates you gave me. Are you sure this is the place?" Big Wang asked.

"Yes, now stand back. I have to open the sealing array that's hiding it." Xue Bai ordered.

The cliff they were staring at looked ordinary in every manner except one. It had a huge paw print imprinted in the center of it. But what made it so unique was the size of the paw print. Just the diameter of the paw was 4 meters wide, and the height was around 6 meters.

Looking at the paw print gave the twins a huge scare as they tried to imagine which massive beast made it. Just the paw print alone dwarfed the mounts they were so proud of. They couldn't even imagine how big the beast was.

"Young Master, maybe you shouldn't enter this Secret Realm. What if the beast that made this imprint is in there?" Little Wang asked tentatively.

"I already told you two that the limit of the Secret Realm is the Muscle Nourishing Realm. So how could such a beast be able to stay in there." Xue Bai said while rolling his eyes.

Though they were still apprehensive, hearing what Xue Bai had to say, their worries lessened.

"But, Young Master, how are you going to open this Secret Realm?" Big Wang asked.

"One second. I need to find the hole." Xue Bai interrupted while trying to concentrate.

The way to open the Secret Realm was simple. In the center of the paw print, there was a small millimeter-wide hole. All he needed to do was to infuse some Spiritual Qi into it. But the only problem was with the size of the paw print. Locating such a small thing was difficult. And Xue Bai would only find it after another five minutes of searching.

Pointing his finger at the hole, Xue Bai infused a strand of Spiritual Qi into it and jumped back, waiting for the entrance to open, which happened very quickly.

After about half a minute, the paw print started to vibrate, making more and more noise as time went on until it came to the point where rocks from the cliff above were beginning to fall, threatening Xue Bai's safety.

"Young Master, stand next to us. We'll protect you!" Big Wang shouted as he created a shield around the three of them to protect themselves from any falling debris.

Though he and his little brother were strong enough that these rocks wouldn't injure them, Xue Bai wasn't. Each of the rocks, with the velocity they were falling, could easily crush Xue Bai into a meat paste.

Not wanting to die an early death, Xue Bai went in between the two and waited for the Secret Realm to open fully.

After vibrating for another five minutes, the Secret Realm finally opened, showing the inside.

However, before Xue Bai could even look inside, a tidal wave of Spiritual Qi hit the three of them.historical

"Quickly cultivate. This is the blessing for discovering it first!" Xue Bai yelled out.

Sitting cross-legged, Xue Bai immediately began to cultivate. In the Baishen Plane opening, ancient Secret Realms like this unleashed a tidal wave of Spiritual Qi when it first opened.

Cultivating now with an almost infinite supply of pure Spiritual Qi Xue, Bai started to path out his sixth vein.

While Xue Bai was trying to reach the sixth stage of the Vein Transformation, the twins were currently struggling with the two options available. Whether to cultivate and potentially reach the Law Manifestation Realm or protect Xue Bai, who was currently defenseless.

However, Xue Bai seemed to sense their indecisiveness, and before sealing off his senses, he told them, "You two can take this chance to cultivate. However, breakthrough quickly as this wave of Spiritual Qi doesn't last very long."

"Thank you, Young Master!" The twins shouted out excitedly.

The twins had been stuck at the peak of the Law Engraving Realm for the past two years and had begun to doubt their potential. But with this opportunity, they were almost guaranteed to break through their bottleneck.

So they also followed what Xue Bai did and started to break through.

Xue Bai was the first to wake up as his stage breakthrough was simple compared to what the twins were doing.

'The effect of connecting the kidney vein isn't useful in the earlier stages, but the more pills one consumes, and the more hidden toxins accumulate in their body, the more helpful it becomes.' Xue Bai thought.

The effect of the liver, kidney, and lung veins didn't give much of a combat power boost. But they provided more supporting abilities to help cultivators later throughout their journey.

So Xue Bai assumed that breaking through to the sixth stage wouldn't give him much of a power boost. But nonetheless, it was still vital to his future cultivation.

After studying his gains, Xue Bai sat down and continued to cultivate. Though the wave of Spiritual Qi had subsided, the Wang Twins hadn't finished their breakthrough. Reaching the Law Manifestation Realm took more than just ample Spiritual Qi.

The wave of Spiritual Qi had only given them enough to ensure they wouldn't fail the breakthrough. Now, all they needed was to just understand the next Realm before advancing.

While Xue Bai was waiting for the twins to finish their breakthrough, his father was about to welcome three groups of prestigious guests.

Currently, in the air above the Duke Estate were three airships, each with a different symbol branded on the side.

However, the airship in the center was almost twice the size of the other two showing that whoever owned it was a tycoon. Branded with a 5-clawed dragon and entirely gold plated, it announced that it was the personal airship of the Emperor himself.

And at the bow of the airship, peering down from above, a man in Imperial Robes and an Imperial Crown looked at Xue Feng.

"Your Majesty, you've arrived!" Xue Feng yelled out with emotion.

"Duke Xue, you know I'm a no man for pleasantries. Have you found where the Secret Realm is?" The Emperor waved off Xue Feng's attempt to waste time.

After the Emperor spoke, the man who stood on the bow airship on the left also spoke up.

"Xue Feng, stop stalling for time! You already know why the three of us came over here."

The man who shouted wore blood-red robes with a devil claw printed on the back. While his hair was wildly let out to flow in the wind. If one didn't know who he was, they would assume him to be a rugged demonic cultivator. But instead, he was the God of War of The Great Xuan Empire, Wang Yichen.

Hearing that, Xue Feng's face went cold. Before knowing what he did now, he would have waved it off with a laugh. But after learning that this man ordered his son to be a cripple, Xue Feng wanted this man to die. However, he knew it wasn't time yet. Not only was Wang Yichen only slightly weaker than him, but the Emperor and Duke Yan also wouldn't let him kill Wang Yichen in the open.

"Duke Wang, I have already sent two of my most trusted subordinates to investigate the Secret Realm. Come in. I am awaiting their message as we speak." Xue Feng said with a smile.
