Syrisia Cave

As the sphere of Spiritual Qi was formed, the Coastal Guard let the two inside first before he came in.

"Hmm, judging from your robe you are from the Clarity Sky Forge Sect."

The Clarity Sky Forge Sect has a unique robe, like any other sect. It has a print of clouds with fire surrounding it and a metal hammer in the middle. According to the history of the sect, it was founded by a blacksmith cultivator. That's why one of the major businesses that Clarity Sky Forge Sect deals with was Artifact manufacturing.

It seems like the Coastal Guard didn't doubt the authenticity of the Artifact that was given to him by these two strangers because of the name of the Sect.

"Yes, Senior. We are from the Clarity Sky Forge Sect."

Du Zhuhui didn't mention that he was an elder, essentially it would be absurd to know that even an Early Nascent Realm could become an Elder to a famous sect. Though there are also outer Elder of the sect like him that are in the Nascent Realm, most of them were still at the Mid to Late Nascent Realm.

Another thing that the Coastal Guard considered to accompany these two members of the Sect, was because he wanted to gain some connection to the Sect.

After all, compared to Recaal Merchant Group, the Clarity Sky Forge Sect was still much more powerful. The Sect Master was at the Peak Void Shattering Realm and the First and Second Elder were at the Late Void Shattering. While there were about 5 Core Elders at the Mid Void Shattering Realm and about 14 at the Early Void Shattering Realm.

One thing that the Clarity Sky Forge Sect gained fame for was its solidarity as a whole sect. They would protect their members and support them in everything.

If he decided to rob these two Nascent Realms because of some of their Artifacts, the gain was not worth it to have his life at stake. Even if he will be able to hide from the Sect, there would still be more than 20 people at the Void Shattering Realm looking for him in every corner of the Alcarel Desolate Lands.

"We can only go until 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) deep. The Monsters below are too strong for me to handle."

Du Zhuhui and Wen Zhexi already know that. The Alcarel Sea was divided into layers. The deeper it was, the stronger the monster will be. However, if a cultivator goes further away from the vicinity of the shore, there would be 5 to 6 star monsters with the strength of Peak Nascent Realm floating around. While in the vicinity there would only be around 4 to 5 Star Monsters.

There would be rare occurrences when a 7 to 8 star Monster, with the strength of Early Void Shattering Realm, will go to the surface. But 500 years ago, there was a 9 Star Monster, with the strength of the Quasi- Celestial Realm, that caused havoc in the seas. It killed the majority of the 8 and lower star Monsters.

It was only after a Celestial Realm Cultivator from the other side of the Alcarel Forbidden Mountains slayed the Monster that everything returned back to normal.

Back then Du Zhuhui was only at the Peak Nascent Realm, still traveling around the other regions of the Continent exploring countless Secret Realms, when he heard the story. At 200 years old, he was still young, full of expectation about his future. But 500 years later, he was still at the Nascent Realm.

Needless to say, he enjoyed life. If only he could spend the last 20 years of his life leisurely...

Traveling down the Sea, the Seeking Artifact direction change. They were now more than 5 kilometers deep.

When Du Zhuhui noticed the changes, he tapped the shoulder of the Coastal Guard.

"Senior, you can now stop going down. Please go towards the direction where this Artifact is pointing towards."

Being jolted awake by Du Zhuhui, the Coastal Guard stretched his body and arms. After all, they still took about 2 hours to travel to where they were at.

Looking at the direction where the Seeking Artifact was pointing at, the Coastal Guard was surprised.

"Oh, it seems like the place where this is pointing at is the Syrisia Cave. You have chosen a good place to cultivate."

After complimenting Du Zhuhui about the place where the Seeking Artifact was pointing at, the Coastal Guard manipulated the Spiritual Qi outside the bubble shield in order to change the direction.

As they went towards the Syrisia Cave, they soon discovered a glow being emitted from it.

"What's that? I don't remember the Syrisia Cave glowing like that! Don't tell me..."

The Coastal Guard didn't continue what he was saying as he increased the speed of their travel.

"It seems like I was right! There's a Secret Realm in the Syrisia Cave!"

Hearing the words Secret Realm, it was as if something inside Du Zhuhui was lightened up.

In his younger years he was obsessed with adventuring inside Secret Realms, that's why he even travelled to Alcarel Forbidden Mountains with the strength of Peak Void Shattering Realm just to go venture inside the Secret Realm there. However, that would mark it as his last adventure.

After all, the Alcarel Desolate Lands had Spiritual Qi scarcity so Secret Realms are rare to find.

But in the Alcarel Sea it was a different story. This was a place that was able to nurture countless 4 to 5 Star Monsters with the strength of Nascent Realm, and deep in the sea there are far more stronger Monsters.

Hearing the words of the Coastal Guard, Wen Zhexi couldn't help but worry. Although Secret Realms are opportunities, it is also full of dangers. If his senior brother was there, his life was in real danger!

He went near his Master as if he was seeking some positive news about that place. With the extensive knowledge of his Masters about Secret Realms, there was bound to be something that could save his Senior Brother.

"Master... Do you think Senior Brother will be okay?"

Returning back to reality, Du Zhuhui forgot for a second the reason why they came here. It was to save his disciple.

"Oh, don't worry. Secret Realms usually have the entrance as a safe place. If Hou Siqing was still using the Artifact that I gave him, he should be fine."

Reassured by his Master, Wen Zhexi excitedly looked forward to what will the Secret Realm bring them.
