Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1367  A Secret Realm?

The large open space was not completely empty, as there was a large structure barely visible in the distance and without even knowing what that structure was, Chu Yang guessed that it should be the ruins that the group of people from the Demon Mountain City had been referring to.

So, with that in mind, Chu Yang began making his way forward towards the ruins, as it was the only place he could hide before the people from the Mountain Demon City arrived inside the massive underground space.

Of course, given that the ruins were dangerous even to someone in the Soul Ascension Realm, Chu Yang didn't intend on entering the ruins and potentially expose himself to danger far greater than what he would face by confronting the group of people from the Demon Mountain City and the large number of demon beasts. Instead, he planned to just find somewhere around the edges of the ruins to hide himself while waiting for the people from the Mountain Demon City to either leave or make their way into the ruins.

After they disappeared inside the ruins, he could then start looking around the underground space and try to find another way out of the place without ending up in front of a large group of demon beasts.

Given that his strength had reached the Domain Lord Realm, he didn't think it would be too difficult for him to try and dig his way out of the underground space in case he couldn't find another way out.

The only problem with using his domain to dig his way out being that it would take time and would make him rather easy to spot for anyone inside the underground space. Especially if that Soul Ascension Realm cultivator was around.

For this reason alone, he didn't try and dig his way out to start off with as the people from the Demon Mountain City was just behind him. Instead opting for what he deemed to be the safer option of hiding around the edges of the ruins until the group of people from the Demon Mountain City left along with the demon beasts chasing after them.

"Hm? This ruin is actually a gate to a secret realm?!"

Arriving in front of the ruins that he had only heard the group of people from the Demon Mountain City talk about so far, Chu Yang could not help showing a somewhat surprised expression on his face when he realized that the ruins he had been intending to hide inside of was actually just a gateway to a secret realm.

Though… It did make a bit more sense why even a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator found the place dangerous, as those capable of constructing a secret realm was normally at least at the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm and had the support of resources that even a normal Soul Ascension Realm cultivator would have a hard time getting their hands on.

Of course, this was only the lowest requirement for constructing a secret realm. In most cases, the ones who had the time and resources to construct a secret realm would normally be in the Soul Ascension Realm.

Not to mention, this secret realm was located inside a mountain range that had no lack of Soul Ascension Realm demon beasts.

For someone to create a secret realm in such a location, they had to have the strength to suppress the surrounding demon beasts while creating the secret realm. Meaning that the person who constructed the secret realm had most likely surpassed the Soul Ascension Realm. Reaching the Dao Seed Realm or beyond. Making it understandable why the secret realm would be considered dangerous even for someone in the Soul Ascension Realm.

But… This was not the problem that Chu Yang was thinking about at the moment. Instead, it was the fact that he had nowhere to hide inside these ruins that were nothing more than a few structures centered around the gateway to the secret realm. Hiding inside these small ruins or behind the gateway into the secret realm would likely not be enough to avoid detection by any of the Domain Lord Realm cultivators, let alone the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator.

If he wanted to avoid detection, his only option would be to enter the secret realm.

Even though this did contain a certain risk considering that the place was dangerous even to someone in the Soul Ascension Realm, Chu Yang felt that the risk of encountering any dangers just after stepping into the secret realm should be low considering that the group of humans from the Demon Mountain City were currently heading towards the secret realm to hide from the demon beasts that were swarming them.

Whoosh~!

And so, with that in mind, Chu Yang didn't hesitate any longer and stepped through the gateway into the secret realm. Soon enough finding himself on top of a massive stone platform suspended above a large jungle by three massive chains connected to three even larger mountains.

However, the thing that almost immediately caught his eye was not the mountains holding up the stone platform that the gateway was located on, but instead the towering turtle demon beast right below the platform.

Even though it wasn't doing anything and seemed to be deep in sleep, it was clear from a glance that the strength of this demon beast was not to be underestimated, as Chu Yang clearly sensed a power not much different from what he had sensed during one of his encounters with Pei Yang. Meaning that the sleep turtle demon beast below the stone platform was most likely a demon beast in the Dao Seed Relam.

At the very least, it didn't seem to wake up even after he arrived and showed no signs of doing so any time soon.

Considering that the group of humans from the Demon Mountain City should have already explored the secret realm, Chu Yang guessed that this powerful demon beast should be harmless.

If not, he felt that there would have been no way for them to try and escape back into the secret realm.

After all, no matter how many demon beasts came rushing towards them outside the secret realm, their strength was mostly between the Nascent Soul and Domain Lord Realm, with the strongest demon beast being in the Soul Ascension Realm.

Nowhere near comparable to a Dao Seed Realm demon beast that would have more than enough strength to easily kill off all of them without any effort.

Swish-!

Feeling like the turtle demon beast should be safe, Chu Yang didn't linger around the stone platform with the gateway on top of it for too long, as he soon jumped onto one of the nearby chains holding up the stone platform before rushing towards the mountain it was connected to and hiding himself at the end of the chain out of sight from anyone emerging from the gateway.

The main reason he didn't go any further away from the gateway being that he had no idea what kind of dangers might be lurking inside of the secret realm and the fact that he could clearly feel his divine sense being somewhat suppressed after he entered the secret realm.

Not that he intended to use it considering it might end up waking up the turtle demon beast, but with the suppressed divine sense, he felt confident that he should have managed to go out of the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator's range in case he ended using his divine sense to investigate the surroundings after entering the secret realm. Even if the chances of that happening was low considering the presence of the turtle demon beast.

Whoosh~! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Over the next few seconds, Chu Yang watched from afar as the humans from the Mountain Demon City slowly began arriving through the gate before finding somewhere to quietly sit down and wait while waiting for the situation outside to resolve itself.

"Back here again… And that turtle is still down there…"

"Indeed, we just have to wait around here for a bit before going back again when the demon beasts leave and avoid waking that turtle up."

"Hopefully, none of the demon beasts end up following us through the gateway and wake up that turtle…"

None of them surprised by the turtle demon beast below them, as they began to casually be chatting with each other-

BOOOM-!

But the situation suddenly changed drastically, as the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator burst through the gateway. Followed by the gateway in question suddenly exploding. Sealing the path out of the secret realm-

RUMMBLE-!

However, this wasn't the worst of it, as Chu Yang looked on in disbelief, as the chains attached to the three mountains holding up the stone platform were suddenly detached, causing the massive stone platform to plummet down towards the turtle demon beast sleeping below it.

Even without knowing anything about the temper of this demon beast, Chu Yang was certain that the people falling down along with the stone platform were not likely to survive this ordeal…
