"What!?"
That was the word that appeared in their minds the first time seeing the barrier leading to the hidden realm could be easily destroyed. Even an Elder who was in the 10th Sky Spirit Realm couldn't do it that easily.
The event of showing off their techniques and treasures which are usually touted as the ultimate attack failed to be carried out.
"I remember them! They were the three young people who came to greet me the first time and the three of them were also the young people who first came here!" An elder who was greeted by Aizen earlier exclaimed loudly.
"I also remember them. But, are they that strong? That little girl can break that barrier easily! They aren't the disguised elders, are they?" Another elder spoke loudly.
"That can't be wrong! This examination gate will only reject people over 25 years old and with abilities under Refining Spirit Realm!"
The conversation of the elders continued because they were tasked with guarding there. Like the elders, the young cultivators muttered to each other because the identities of the three people were unknown to them at all.
But when they saw Lin Yu and her two junior sisters enter the gate and disappear into the hidden realm and were followed by Feng Zhi and her group, all of them who were confused immediately followed in their footsteps.
What is the difference between being destroyed by those three mysterious people by being destroyed by a vanguard team from the great sects and great organizations, as long as they can get into the hidden realm and try their luck, it doesn't matter who does it.
Thousands of young cultivators under 25 years immediately followed in the footsteps of the 2 strongest groups to enter the hidden realm together with vanguard teams who lost their chance to show off and the honor to enter there first.
"Is that him? I'm glad I didn't offend him at the city entrance."
Zhu Chun muttered and immediately followed the other cultivator with his lion and his two followers who also served as his guards. At the same time, a man in shabby clothes kept quiet and looked at the ancient ring on his finger before joining in following the other cultivators into the hidden realm.
At this time the place that was crowded only left the elders in charge of guarding there for a month until they were supposed to return.
Meanwhile, in the hidden realm, the thing that first greeted them was a vast barren land with high mountains surrounding them that seemed to indicate they had entered a different world from the forest environment before entering here.
There was a group of girls who sped forward by riding Snow Lotus and being followed by Sky Phoenix from behind.
"Little Lin Yu, wait for me. You're looking for them, right? Then, count us in too." Feng Zhi called from behind which made Lin Yu wait for Sky Phoenix to catch up to her.
"OK." Lin Yu answered curtly as if she didn't mind. She is confident with her feeling that the person she is looking for is going in the direction she is headed now.
Then they continued to move forward together and left the other cultivators far behind who began to spread in various directions.
Shi Yang who had heard their conversation was also looking for Lin Yu and Feng Zhi's figures, but he could not find them because he had been there late and the person he was looking for had gone far away.
Far ahead from the position of Lin Yu and Feng Zhi who became a group of six people in the same direction, Aizen and his two girls were exploring a high mountain shrouded in the shady forest that had many ruins scattered everywhere.
"Hehe... I'm glad to see their stupid faces earlier." Ana spoke excitedly while remembering the faces of the losers who thought they were above everything.
Aizen and Axel only smiled warmly when they saw Ana humming and dancing in the beautiful ancient forest.
"We have to do something like that again sometime later." Ana cheered waiting for something similar to happen again.
"Sure. We'll wait for the opportunity later." Aizen agrees with that. If something small like that can make her happy, why not?
"Master Aizen, Sister Ana... Isn't this strange? The dense forest in this mountain has no animals or the sounds of other living things? I feel that only three of us are in this forest."
Axel said an inevitable reality. The forest where they are now is indeed very quiet and gives an eerie feeling.
They chose this place to explore for the first time because of the mountain that was seen the first time, this mountain that provides the strongest energy waves.
Even though the [Axel Goddess] scanning system that was still in Axel's Soul Realm was blocked by something unknown and prevented them from scanning further, they could scan the energy waves of the place they were going to.
Ana, who was still humming happily, now became silent and returned to Aizen's side before holding his hand, he seemed to be afraid after being said by Axel with a situation around them.
"Well... You have now said that. This place does feel haunted." Aizen added while looking around them. The scanning system cannot see farther than a kilometer around them.
"Then let's get out of here. I don't want to meet ghosts or other horrible things..." Ana started to get scared after remembering the scary stories she often reads and the horror films that she often watched.
"This is morning. Ghosts are only intangible creatures, they are scary if you want them to be scary. Different from evil spirits..."
"No. No... Don't say anything else..." Ana did not want to be told a scary fact when in their current situation and hugged Aizen's arm tightly.
She used to like scary stories and horror because she was in the modern era and could hide to her daddy if she was scared or surprised.
"Em. All right." Aizen smiled wryly at the behavior of his daughter who was like a scared cat.
They continued their journey to enter deeper into the forest until they were at a large entrance that looked ancient, and the rock structures that formed it still looked sturdy and majestic.
Based on Axel's experience and ignoring different variations, most of the inheritance that can be found is usually in a hidden place and filled with various obstacles, trials, and traps. Maybe this is one of the entrances meant to lead to a legacy that was intentionally made by the owner of the inheritance.
"Master Aizen, someone is approaching us quickly." Axel warned immediately after feeling something moved closer.
Aizen didn't need to think much and the three of them immediately used invisible camouflage and waited for the guests who seemed to be coming to them.
*Screech*
Sky Phoenix squeaked as if to tell its master about the ancient ruin below them.
"What's wrong, Lulu? Oh, an ancient ruin in the middle of the forest... Little Lin Yu, isn't your innate talent so powerful and useful? We just entered the hidden realm and went straight here and we've found the ancient ruin entrance."
Feng Zhi asked her mount before praising Lin Yu. One of the main reasons Feng Zhi was always happy to have a good relationship with Lin Yu was because of her extraordinary abilities, her innate talent in the form of an extraordinary premonition was very helpful in many ways.
"Um. Thank you." Lin Yu was happy because she was praised by her kind sister.
"Of course, our senior sister is amazing."
"Un! That's right."
Meanwhile, her two junior sisters also took pride in their Senior Sister Lin Yu.
"Hehe... Lulu, let's get down." Feng Zhi just giggled and did not continue, while her junior sisters were on guard for attacks or ambushes. This is also the first time for them to venture into the hidden realm, so they need to be very alert in various circumstances.
Lin Yu followed Feng Zhi and landed near the ruins. Right now, the six of them were in front of a large entrance that seemed to provide a strong pull for them to immediately enter there, but Lin Yu's premonition screamed loudly about the danger that awaited them there.
"Is this the rubble in question?"
"Are we going in there?"
"Somehow I'm terrified of just being here..."
"Um. Me too."
The four junior sisters from the two sects muttered about what they were feeling right now, as though they were being pulled but their consciousness was somehow scared.
"Little Lin Yu, what do you think? What's your hunch?" Feng Zhi asked Lin Yu for advice. Although she is the strongest and oldest, she often asks Lin Yu for advice on something due to her innate talent.
"Sister Feng Zhi, my hunch was screaming in fear just because I was here, not to mention the entrance to this ancient ruins..." Lin Yu said that with her face getting pale.
"Amazing hunch. This is the third time we meet, young girl." A friendly welcome came from behind the six of them. Unfortunately because of Lin Yu's previous words, it actually made them both tense and shocked before they immediately prepared for an attack.
