secret realm opening

The next day,

Yao Chen woke in the morning and went for training.

Yesterday was a very lucky day for him, not only did he able to grasp the 'twilight flames' but also mastered the next part of the manual.

It's a pity that didn't see any dream yesterday night.

it had become his daily habit, to go for morning walks. today he was going to the backside Mountains.

the mountains behind his residence are remarkably beautiful. tall trees everywhere, making it difficult for sunshine to reach the ground.

he took a stone path and went straight.

he found a great place for training, deep inside the forest. It's a beautiful waterfall with a lot of fish in the water.

He took out the body refinement technique, shije zui qiang, and went for the 4th chapter.

Divine Sun Body,

There is a saying that goes, ' what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ' and it's exactly the case, the human body is made to improve. It has the ability to adapt itself to its surroundings.

Thus, practising hellish training can improve your physics overall.

the book clearly shows some extreme training methods which can help build their body.

The first one is,

gu jinglian.

this training has three practices. one for strength and endurance, one for flexibility, and one for agility.

for strength and endurance, he had to use the breathing technique mentioned under heavy pressure of the water under the cataract.

he took off his upper robe and placed it by a tree. then he jumped over a boulder, under the stream.

on his first try, he got washed away by the flow. then after a few attempts, he managed to hold his feet.

the pressure from the waterfall was very heavy. it's because of his improved physics he was able to withstand the pressure.

the mysterious manual was profound.

he sat in a lotus position and continued to use the breathing technique.

...

thus the day passed. it was evening, Yao Chen finished his training for today. so he went to pick up his clothes.

then he remembered that he hadn't eaten anything today. he thought of catching some rabbits.

it took him an hour to find one. which he decided to bring back home.

he started to walk towards the previous path.

'hm.. which way is that?' he looked at a three path intersection.

one way in which he came from, the other one leading to deep inside the woods.

but the third one is leading to the mountains.

he got curious as to why there is a way up to the mountains.

the mountains are home to countless beasts and treasures.

he shook his head and left for home.

it took about an hour while rushing.

upon arriving at home, he straight went to his mother's room.

"Chen'er? where were you? have you eaten yet? are you alright?"

he got bombarded with questions.

"oh.. sorry mom I was just training, and I didn't realise when it went dark."

he took out his tongue.

"mother, here I brought a rabbit," he said as he opened the door to show her a huge rabbit, almost the size of a pig, lying there.

"How did you.."

"I hunted it on the mountains today."

hearing that she was surprised.

"you went to the mountains to train?" she asked in a solemn voice.

"yes, what about it?"

"sigh.. you shouldn't go there the mountains are full of beasts. it's very dangerous."

she said, unhappy by his actions.

"but..." he wanted to refute but got stopped by her.

"no buts, you can go there.. but don't go deep inside." she waved her hand and went outside.

she picked up the rabbit and went inside the kitchen.

he smiled and left for his room.

he knew that her mother was very caring and supportive. so he was happy.

after dinner, they both went to bed.

following that day the routine continued for two months, before...

.....

at the ancestral land of the Ning family in Seoju city,

"Master Cao, the sects are here, and we have already finished our preparation."

said Ning Fu.

in front of him, was an enormous boulder, which craved with ancient text all over it.

there are a lot of formations craved, one over another.

"yes it's about time, tell them to be prepared. and one more thing this is strictly restricted and complicated. we can hold it up to thirteen days at most. you must finish your exploration by then."

Ning Fu ordered his servant to inform the sect and clans.

the elders of the sect are resting in their respective tents. they gathered their disciples and went towards the boulder.

there were five sects present, Divine Sword Sect, Azure dragon sect, Divine Phoenix sect, Divine white tiger sect and Divine spirit unison sect.

as for the clans, there are two.

Ning clan and Zhou royal family.

the King has sent two earth realm powerhouses. and dozens of young disciples.

Excitement could be seen in their eyes. they were all waiting for this opportunity. for them, this is an opportunity to increase their strength and harvest some treasures.

"all presented sect disciples and elder from various sects and clans. the expedition is going to begin. you must remember one thing, this is going to open for thirteen days. in the meantime, you can use the time to train and obtain treasures. also remember not to cause trouble for each other, the secret realm contains unknown dangers so be careful."

the sect disciples nodded obediently. but their eyes said something else.

Most men stare at the disciples of the divine soul unison sect.

There were 7 female disciples and 5 male disciples.

The female disciple, everyone is a top-class beauty. With a voluptuous body. Making every man look again and again.

The male disciples are also a top class in looks and had a gentle demeanour.

"hey you, I have never seen you before... what's your name?"

A disciple of the divine white tiger sect whispered to another disciple slowly.

"oh... I am a new disciple, I just happened to be here as brother Hao was busy."

Said the latter.

The former looked over his clothes. And it's indeed an inner court uniform. He just shrugged and looked away.

The latter sighed inside. And looked away too.

'it was a close call, I mustn't get caught.'

The disciple had black long hair, and pale white skin, his face was well proportioned and had a sharp nose and jawline. In short, he was handsome.

it was none other than Yao Chen, disguised as a disciple of the divine white tiger sect.

he had already planned this, days ago... he just needs to get inside the secret realm.

he had requested the old formation master to give him an entry to the secret realm.

even though he was rejected at first, eventually he managed to convince the old master.

now he has to act like a disciple of the white tiger sect to enter the realm.

as for why he wants to enter the realm? because he wants resources, it's a daily struggle for every poor cultivator.

and another reason is the Ning family.

it's about a week ago, someone tried to assassinate his mother.

even though they were in black, he can guess that they were sent by the Ning family.

like a true spirit realm cultivator, her mother managed to beat them, but alas, they escaped.

so he decided to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

"Every one, the gate is opening...
