Chapter 10: Homa's Realm

"My original cultivation or rather beast's realm is at Sacred Beast Realm. In human cultivation let's just say it is above Mortal Godly Realm!"

"But I'm guessing that not even one of the cultivators in this continent or even the whole planet knows about what's above the Mortal Godly Realm! I haven't even seen any Godly Soul Realm expert in this damn planet of weakling cultivators since I accidentally came here hundreds of years ago. To my knowledge, the strongest cultivators here are at the level of Divine Soul Realm."

"But what you should do right now is to increase your cultivation as much as you can. If you're strong enough then explore this world especially the southern continent. There might be countless of treasures waiting on that region to be discovered but of course the risk of losing one's life is high. From what I know that region is protected by strong demonic beasts. Stronger than your sect master and it is not only one but there are hundreds of them at that level!"

"I think you'll be able to explore that area when you advance to Godly Soul Realm. I know you can advance to that realm in just a few years time! I bet you will reach it before you turned thirty years old."

Hearing this Neonero couldn't help but think that Homa is just making fun of him.

"You're joking senior Homa right? How will I reach that cultivation level in just a few years? Even sect master that is over a hundred years old is just at the Heavenly Soul Realm."

"Stupid kid, do you think your sect master is as lucky and talented as you? You don't belong in this world and someday you will have to live this place. This place is too small to contain your power someday. The universe is vast and is almost endless. To explore the universe is your fate."

"So much for that, I will take you back now to your sect. Hop unto my back kid."

The heavenly beast Homa let Neonero sit on his back unlike when he brought him here with its tail coiled around Neonero.

After flying for around an hour they arrived at the place where Homa had taken Neonero with him.

"This is as far as I can go. I'm not on the mood to play against that old man. And I know that within this area no beast is a match against you now. "

Neonero bowed to Homa and said. "Thank you senior Homa."

"I'll be going back to the deepest part of the forest kid, I'll come and see you again when the time is right!"

Just as the last word was spoken, Homa vanished into the sky.

It's just a few weeks more before the Personal Disciple Selection Tournament starts. Facing to the direction of the Mystic Lightning sect, Neonero leaped and dashed into the trees. His speed when he came into the forest before is now tripled. Twenty minutes later he arrived at the entrance of the Mystic Lightning sect.

As his figured appeared in the entrance, a young man was shock after seeing him. It was none other than Jino. Jino was tasked to guard the entrance this day.

"Junior brother Neonero is that really you?" Jino asked him with a shock on his face.

Jino was not shocked because Neonero has showed up in front of him after being reported as missing for over eight months, but he was shocked because he noticed that Neonero was not a body refining stage cultivator at the moment but at the mid stage of Energy Condensation.

"Hello senior brother Jino! Long time no see senior brother." Neonero said with a beaming smile on his face.

"Wow I couldn't believe it but your cultivation speed is just too monstrous junior brother. In just a few months that you're gone and now you're at the mid stage of energy condensation already!"

"It looks like you have a high chance in getting to the top five in this year's Personal Disciple Selection Tournament junior brother."

Then all of a sudden someone spoke from inside of the sect's gate.

"Oh so the fierce egg guy is back. It seems you found something precious that enabled you to advance to the mid stage of energy condensation in just few months that you went missing. I thought that you're already dead. It seems to me that you have quite the luck mister fierce egg!"

"Don't even think that you can even place at the top ten of the tournament! The tournament is not for a sixteen year old guy with an egg of a talent!" Ren with a face full of disdain while ridiculing Neonero in front of the other disciples present at the entrance of the sect.

"You better not join the tournament or else this young master will cripple you and toss you out of the sect if we meet at the battle arena!" Ren added.

After Ren said this, Neonero just smiled at him and said.

"Senior brother Jino, I'm going to my room now."

Neonero was about to leave when Jino said.

"Junior brother, elder Zen told me that if I see you to tell you that the sect master wants you to see him."

"Thanks senior brother, I'll go see the sect master right away."

As Neonero's silhouette slowly disappear the look on Ren's face is full of malicious intent and a small curve of smile appeared on his lips.

Then he instructed all his lackeys that if they are to encounter Neonero during the tournament they should not show him mercy. This disciples strength are not to be underestimated since the weakest is at the mid stage of energy condensation and the others were already at the late stage of energy condensation. While Ren at the age of eleven is now at the early stage of energy condensation coupled with his talent and treasures he can easily defeat any mid stage energy condensation cultivator.

In the upcoming tournament he had already announced to the public that he will cripple Neonero if they ever encountered on the battle arena. Ren is full of confidence that he can easily defeat Neonero who's at the mid stage of energy condensation with just his early energy condensation cultivation level.

......

Arriving at the sect master hall, Neonero entered the sect master's room and he started to report all that happened to him except and why he went missing for eight months except for him unlocking the Akashic Realm. He deemed it not yet appropriate to tell the sect master about it. After he reaches a certain level in cultivation will he tell the sect master about the Akashic Realm. For Neonero, unless he does not have enough strength to defend himself against the other strong cultivators it is not yet safe for the world to know his secret.

"Oh so that's what happened. Good thing that you obtained a blood essence from a heavenly beast. It really did help you to advance in your cultivation fast." Lightning Kan said to Neonero with a slight shock in his face.

"Oh right you should head to elder Zen now and register your name to be able to participate in the Personal Disciple Selection Tournament." Lightning Kan added.

"Yes sect master, I'll be leaving now." Neonero cupped his hands and bowed then started to leave the sect master's hall.
