Entering the invisible spirits realm

In front of a giant cave gateway, hundreds of kilometers the size of a mountain, the entire mountain looked like an entrance to a hidden realm behind it. The gate was huge, carefully etched to form mysterious landmarks reflecting ancient history and supernatural power. Ancient magical carvings shine on its surface, beating with energy as if it defied everyone standing in front of it, and the wind echoes as it strikes the gate, adding a sense of danger and awe.

In a square in front of the cave, three large groups gathered, chatting cautiously and anticipatingly. These sects were among the first to arrive at this sacred site: the Bright Star Spirit Sect, Mysterious Spirit Sect, and the Silver Moon Spirit Sect.

The giant azure roc landed on the ground with a loud sound, causing the earth to shake slightly under the weight of its huge wings. The wind blew around them when he touched the ground, and master of the formation hall, Qing Shan, came with confident steps after making sure that all the disciples had disembarked safely.

With a simple lift of one hand, Qing Shan cast a spell that made the giant azure roc disappear in a blink of sight, flying away into the blue sky until it disappeared from view. Everyone gazed at the sky for a few seconds, astonished by the power and control demonstrated by their mistress, before they refocused towards the gate.

The disciples were whispering. Some speak of the great power required to control such a legendary bird, while others point to the mysterious inscriptions on the cave gate, wondering what secrets might lie inside.

"Oh? Look who came," said the master envoy of the Bright Star Spirit Sect, Liu Xiao, standing majestic high under the shadow of the giant cave gate. He wears a deep blue robe decorated with star inscriptions that twinkle as if they were shining in the dark. His ornate gown flows gracefully around him, with traditional wide sleeves complemented by a smooth golden frame. His sarcastic smile resonates with the cold tone of his voice, as he watches the crowd arrive with an apathetic gaze and eyes that shine.

The master of the formation hall, Qing Shan, approached with heavy steps, surrounded by disciples who were standing behind her. She stopped in front of the gathering of the other three sects, took a quick look around, gave a slight nod, and gave a brief greeting with an official smile, which all three sects met with similar gestures. 

Long Xueqin, an envoy from the mysterious spirit sect, wears a traditional robe, in which gold tones overlap with milky white, with mysterious embroideries that shine lightly. 

Xion Liqin, envoy of the Silver Moon Spirit sect, appears in a silver silk dress that flows gracely around her body, decorated with gold and silver decorations embodying luxury and fine taste. The dress features a high collar and long sleeve decorated with lace, enhancing its elegance and attractiveness. Her polished black hair is decorated with jeweled pins, while pearl-decorated strands hang on her shoulders, giving her a touch of classical magic.

When the disciples just present saw the giant cave gate, they crept into their souls a mixture of awe and greatness. The gate shone with changing lights, pulsing with magical sparkling colors. It is covered with intricate inscriptions and mysterious spells, announcing the opening of the invisible spirits realm. 

It wasn't long before a distant echo reverberated announcing the arrival of a thrilling caravan, with a huge turtle floating quietly across space. This turtle, known as the river sage turtle, was owned by the earth spirit sect and is considered a symbol of strength and protection in the spirit zone.

The tortoise, which was not just a living creature but an ancient master, was slowly moving through the air, carrying a group of members of the sect on its strong shell. It is valued as the oldest and most powerful spiritual being in the region, thanks to its impenetrable rock armor, which earned it an unparalleled reputation for defense. It is also said that this turtle acquired a deep knowledge of some of the techniques of the ancient earth spirit sect, making it more than just a transport. It has become a symbol of steadfastness and wisdom.

Besides members of the earth spirit sect, there was also a bamboo spirit sect riding a huge turtle. This scene confirmed that the talk about the alliance of the two sects was not just rumors, but a real reality.

The giant tortoise gently landed on the ground, causing a slight vibration in its surroundings due to its enormous weight. When ancient feet touched the surface of the earth, the earth cracked strongly, showing its weight, showing the mighty power of the majestic spiritual being. As they landed, the two sects moved together, and groups of disciples of the earth spirit sect and the bamboo spirit sect landed in elaborate coordination.

At the foreground, master envoy from the earth spirit sect, Xia Qigang, stood with his majestic personality and tall stature. He wore a sumptuous robe of dark silk, decorated with gold patterns that shimmered in the sun, and adorned with snake-like rings and embroideries symbolizing strength and wisdom. Next to him stood the envoy of the bamboo spirit sect, Yang Li, who reflected with equal grace and charisma. 

Yang Li wore a bright green gloss of glossy silk, decorated with thin bamboo sibal carvings in a faint golden color, symbolizing agility and evolution. The details of his costume featured his fine beauty and elegant footsteps, and his presence was full of reassurance and intelligence. He had a light and elegant beard that increased his dignity, and his black hair tied backward reinforced his prestigious standing and confidence.

The presence of these two emissaries, Xia Qigang and Yang Li, embodied a strong alliance between the two sects, symbolizing the deep cooperation between the earth spirit sect and the bamboo spirit sect, and underlining the seriousness of the announced alliance. 

They advanced towards the gathering of other sects, and stood up solemnly. Xia Qigang, with his old features and dark ornate dress, gave a short nod to his head, while Yang Li, with his exquisite green uniform and calm looks, added a touch of respect in his gesture. Then Xia Wanhan spoke with a coarse old voice, "Excuse me for being late."

"Haha, it's okay. It's not as if the invisible spirits realm has opened yet," said Liu Xiao of the bright star spirit sect with a slight laughter, as his gaze wandered behind Xia Wenhan. There, Xia Jiang, the son of the sect master of the earth spirit sect, was highlighted with clear features that reflected his high status without attracting excessive attention. His face had slightly rounded features, with distinctive cheeks giving his face some healthy glow. His dark brown eyes carried an eager sparkle and a slight contempt. This reflects his longing to enter the world of spirits and his miniature gaze to everyone.

His bright black hair flowed over his shoulders with a well-arranged hairstyle, bringing out his serious and sober appearance. His height was average, and his structure was symmetrical, with his body tilted towards force but not exaggerated in prominence. He wore traditional clothes of the earth spirit sect, elegant and meticulously built to reflect his family's fine traditions, with fine embroidery details that highlighted the quality of the fabric.

Next to him, Hao Ming, the core disciple of the bamboo spirit sect, talked to him with a warm smile. Hao Ming was a remarkable beauty, highlighted by her dress, which gilded elegantly around her body. Her slender, green silk dress harmonizes beautifully with the glow of her eyes, giving her a seductive appeal. Her beauty is complemented by her elegant hairstyle embodying ancient traditions, where she shines in the sun so that every movement she makes appears to embody an immortality elegance.

Master Xia Qigang nodded slowly and turned his eyes on the eternal spirit sect, considered their main rival in the spirits zone. His eyes roamed among the disciples with great precision, and when he saw one of them, his pupils widened a little in unexpected surprise. "Oh, I really didn't expect sect master Zhao Jian to let his sinful son come too." 

At the end of his talk, everyone's attention turned unexpectedly to the gathering of the eternal spirit sect. No one had ever cared about his presence because he was in the middle of the sect disciples next to his sister and his appearance was not very prominent. Whispers and surprised glances were lit, with all eyes fixed on Zhao Yongzheng, who seemed to be surrounded by mountains of gaze. The heavy gaze at him made him feel like a great mountain had been placed on his shoulders.

"Ha, it's really him," Long Xueqin said with a deep mocking smile, his eyes twinkling with a provocative look. "Is it conceivable that a screw has gone from the mind of the sect master?"

Liu Xiao responded with a sarcastic smile, "No, he only trusts master Qing Shan's ability to save his life, otherwise he would not have sent him."

master Xiong Liqin only looked at Zhao Yongzheng without commenting, but could not hide her deep exclamation. She was thinking about why Zhao Yongzheng was here, her eyes scrutinizing him closely.

Master Qing Shan sighed in her heart, she knew that this would happen when they met with the rest of the other sects, she sighed again thinking about the sect master sending his disabled son and making the sect a mockery, she said with a sad shake of her head "Hah, as the ancestors said, the sinful son is really the sect disaster. To think that makes pathetic sects dare not even look at our feet and speak like this, what a pity."

Immediately, the two envoys from the bright star spirit sect and the mysterious Spirit sect looked at Qing Shan with flaming fury. Possessive of spiritual power, their energies rose so markedly that the disciples behind them felt the enormous pressure of that force, which pushed them to take a step back. Qing Shan's words were straightforward, and no one, even simple ones, could ignore her insult. She criticized them directly, especially in front of all the other communities in the spirits zone, which they could not readily accept.

"Hey, are you serious about wanting to play now?!" said Qing Shan with a wry smile on her face, as her gaze contemplated the rising anger in the envoys' eyes. 

but before anyone could stop the growing tensions, the space was influenced by loud noises and bright lights. Ancient inscriptions and magic symbols illuminated on the edges of the giant cave, glowing in a glowing gold color, as if writing a sacred message on the walls of the cave. These shining signs were a powerful proclamation of the opening of the invisible spirits realm.

"All right, let's stop the little skirmishes here. We must now focus all our strength on the invisible spirits realm." said Yang Li, the master envoy of the bamboo spirit sect, softly, smiling at everyone.

"I totally agree with you," added Xiong Liqin, the master envoy of the silver moon spirit sect, showing her support with a graceful nod.

"Hmph." Liu Xiao snored, his spiritual power clearly declined. He turned his back and walked toward the gate of the invisible spirits realm, saying, "I'll go first."

He was followed by the bright star spirit sect, following their master with a sharp gaze at the disciples of the eternal spirit sect, and then disappearing into the invisible spirits realm. The mysterious spirit sect quickly followed, heading inland.

"Excuse me, I'll go now," said master Xia Qigang, and a bamboo spirit sect also followed, heading to the gate of the invisible spirits realm.

Master Xiong Liqin nodded appreciably towards the master of the formation hall, Qing Shan, before heading towards the gate, too.

Master Qing Shan sighed, looking at Zhao Yongzheng. "Stay close to me, and don't move away from me more than twenty meters."

Zhao Yongzheng bowed quickly, feeling the indignant glances directed at him by the rest of the disciples, and it was clear that anger and ridicule were manipulating their feelings towards him to bring insult to them.

"Okay, let's go," said master Qing Shan calmly, as she stepped toward the gate of the invisible spirits realm.

Zhao Yongzheng looked at the gate, with a slight smile that was not entirely obvious. He muttered in a low voice, hearing only to himself, "My time has come now."
