Chapter 41 - The Gathering of Geniuses
Chapter 41: The Gathering of Geniuses
After hugging for some time, Qian Yi and Lin An finally separated.
...
At the entrance of the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm, several disciples had already gathered.
They were from the different major sects of the Cangyun Continent, and their respective sect elders accompanied them as they prepared to display their grand plans to enter the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm.
The disciple’s eyes were full of endless expectations.
Tales of the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm had always been prevalent in the Cangyun Continent. It was said that there were endless opportunities in the realm, and if a cultivator was lucky enough to obtain an inheritance in the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm, their future cultivation path would become incomparably smooth.
However, although the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm wasn’t a secret, its features were still a mystery that was beyond everyone’s imagination.
The specifics of the treasures that existed in the realm were unknown.
However, everyone knew that the cultivators who would succeed in obtaining benefits during their trip would become experts after leaving the secret realm.
Even a cultivator of low skill would suddenly surpass many geniuses once they secured a treasure from the mysterious kingdom.
Therefore, the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm was a carnival for cultivators!
At that moment, the Jiuxiao Sect disciples’ warship had already arrived at the entrance of the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm.
There was a vast lake at the gateway, and it was surrounded by dense trees. From the looks of it, nobody had visited the entrance for close to a hundred years.
There was nothing special about the location.
However, everybody knew that they had arrived at the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm’s portal. It was just that it had not opened yet.
All the Jiuxiao Sect disciples were eager to enter the secretive world. They wanted to witness the true appearance of the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm.
Even after a night of fatigue, everyone seemed to be in high spirits!
The disciples had secured a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they were all prepared.
A golden cannon elder was leading the team, while Zhang Ling was the disciple’s representative.
Zhang Ling was the only remaining peerless genius from the Jiuxiao Sect, and many of the sect’s disciples looked up to her.
However, Lin An had already won the inner sect disciples’ competition.
Although Lin An’s strength was terrifying, everyone felt that his victory had resulted from the use of some puzzling pills and tricks, and he had not used his actual power.
Zhang Ling looked around and noticed that Lin An was not in the warship. She could not help but shake her head.
The Jiuxiao Sect’s so-called champion was too disappointing.
Despite the fact that Lin An was very powerful, he hadn’t appeared among the disciples chosen to enter the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm. It was obvious that he hadn’t advanced his cultivation to the golden core stage.
In the cultivation world, if a disciple didn’t show progress in their cultivation, everything else was just empty talk!
Lin An’s attributes weren’t like those of past star disciples.
If he failed to enter the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm, the difference in quality between him and the other brilliant disciples would only grow larger.
Zhang Ling knew the importance of visiting the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm. Her desire to enter the realm had motivated her to suppress her cultivation skills.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Ling would have already broken through the golden core stage.
However, she had restrained her cultivation and caused it to remain stagnant. At that point, she was still in the eighth level of the golden core stage.
Zhang Ling had no desire to proceed to the nascent soul stage since she would miss out on the opportunity to enter the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm.
As Zhang Ling fantasized about the mysterious world, three battleships suddenly appeared in the sky and rushed towards the lake at a high speed.
The colorful flags on the battleships fluttered gloriously in the sky. It was as if they were riding the wind and surfing through waves!
For a moment, the unusual movement in the sky attracted everyone’s attention.
“Look, are those disciples from the Heavenly Mystery Sect?”
“That’s right. Only the Heavenly Mystery Sect can afford such luxurious treasure ships.”
“Did they have to show their strength? We all want the same thing, and that is to enter the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm!”
“Even though they are our fellow cultivators, you can tell from their looks that they are definitely not ordinary people!”
The disciples from the other sects who had already landed on the ground looked at the sky in awe, and their eyes were filled with envy.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect had such a luxurious fleet of warships. Its brilliance was simply better than the sun in the sky.
When they saw the looks of admiration from the other disciples, the Heavenly Mystery Sect cultivators couldn’t hide their pride.
“Humph! Did you see their eyes? They are as small as ants!”
“Shouldn’t the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm be more exclusive? It has always been our sect’s secret land!”
“Senior Brother is right. It’s a pity that the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm is too overt. Otherwise, it would have long become our sect’s backyard...”
“There’s no need to argue with them. When we enter the realm, we shall prove that we are the best sect on the continent!”
Although the Heavenly Mystery Sect cultivators knew that entering the realm wouldn’t be a simple task, it didn’t affect the pride in their hearts.
Every disciple from the sect was proud and obnoxious.
Soon, the Heavenly Mystery Sect’s treasure ships stopped at the bank of the Secret Realm Lake.
The sect’s disciples looked like Immortals who had just flown down from the sky. They instantly occupied a central area, and it was clear that they were all talented disciples who had extremely high cultivation techniques. From their temperament, one could also observe that they were all valiant.
“Is this the Heavenly Mystery Sect? The super large faction from the vast fate continent?”
“I can tell that every single one of their disciples is at least at the fifth level golden core stage. This crop of cultivators is sufficient to crush all the other factions!”
“Look, is that Ling Dong, the peerless genius who only appears once every one hundred years!”
“It is said that he has suppressed his cultivation and is currently at the peak of the golden core stage. If he wishes, he can instantly break through the golden core stage and even reach the third level of the nascent soul stage!”
“Lin Dong’s strength is unfathomable and too terrifying. It is best to stay far away from him if you meet him in the secret realm!”
“Our factions are like ants in the eyes of this mysterious sky sect!”
The other small sects revealed envious gazes when they saw the powerful disciples from the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
The gorgeous treasure ships matched with the stunning geniuses from the region were simply too magnificent!
The eyes of the disciples from the Jiuxiao Sect were also filled with jealousy.
They unconsciously swallowed their saliva and, there was a hint of deep worry in their eyes.
Although the Heavenly Mystery Sect was the most powerful sect, the disciples from the sect also had their own concerns.
They were afraid that the small factions would gang up and attack them.
Therefore, although they were the strongest, they had no intention of breaking the rules before they entered the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm
However, once they set foot into the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm, it would a different scene.
The realm’s portal opened once every hundred years, and there were no rules in the mysterious land, only absolute benefits.
As long as there were benefits, anything could happen.
The Jiuxiao Sect disciples were worried about their previous history with the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
During the last excursion into the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm, a genius from the Jiuxiao Sect had discovered an extraordinary treasure. However, he was killed by a genius disciple from the Heavenly Mystery Sect. The treasure naturally flowed to the rival sect, and the matter was left unresolved.
Therefore, the Jiuxiao Sect had a grudge against the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
However, because of the huge inequality in strength between the two factions, the Jiuxiao Sect couldn’t seek revenge.
When he saw the disciples from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the leading elder from the Jiuxiao Sect frowned.
He leaned forward and addressed his disciples, “Once you enter the secret realm, do not clash with the disciples from the Heavenly Mystery Sect. If you meet them, just surrender any ordinary treasures that you may have in your possession!”
In the elder’s opinion, the difference in power between the two sects was indeed too great. If any of his disciples secured an ordinary opportunity, it was better to just let it go!
After all, the lives of his disciples were more important that the treasures in the mystic realm.
As the leading elder, he had the responsibility to protect all of his disciples.
...
Back at Bixiao Peak, Lin An reluctantly let go of Qian Yi.
In an instant, he boarded the treasure ship of heavenly secrets and waved goodbye to his master. Within a few minutes he had already disappeared from the Jiuxiao Sect’s sphere.
Normally, treasure ships sailed at an average breakneck speed. However, the treasure ship of heavenly secrets was slightly different. It flashed through the sky like a shooting star.
In just a few breaths, it had already traveled several thousand miles away from the Jiuxiao Sect’s.
One hour later, Lin An’s treasure ship appeared in the sky above the Secret Realm Lake.
