Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

The location of the secret realm was at the border of the Flying Sword Sects northern territory, close to the area controlled by the Black Rose Sect.

The entrance to the secret realm was located in a small isolated valley, with the shape of the entrance being a giant gate with nothing special to it other than its enormous size reaching close to 20 meters in height.

"Ah! When will this damn secret realm open? If it does not open soon, we will never have a chance to enter when those strong ones find out…!" At this moment, the group of people gathered in the small valley had exceed more than a hundred people. All of them being experts at the peak of the Core Formation Realm or earlier stages of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The nervousness and fear at the fact that the secret realm had yet to open yet even though it had already surfaced for several days caused most to feel like time was running out with the chances of the information about a secret realm appearing leaking growing more and more.

Chi Hu was among the people waiting for the secret realm to open as he stared nervously down at the communication talisman in his hands. At first, he did not want to ask for Elder Xuan's help as they barely knew each other, but with the number of Nascent Soul Realm Experts stronger than him growing every hour, Chi Hu decided to contact Xuan Hao and ask for help.

Even if he knew there was a chance that he would not get anything from doing this, Chi Hu still decided to do it. At the very least from what he could gather over the past few weeks, the Flying Sword Sect had a positive reputation outside their Vice Sect Master who seemed to have quite a temper.

Other than that, Elder Xuan had been kind and friendly to him even before he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"I will just consider it me being bad at judging people if I'm wrong…" Shaking his head when he thought about it, Chi Hu decided to trust his instincts and trust that Elder Xuan would not be someone with evil intentions.

Rumble~

Just as Chi Hu was lost in thought, a large earthquake shook the surroundings as the ground began to shake more and more violently.

Swoosh~

With the sound of a violent wind coming from above as the earthquake intensified. The qi between heaven and earth descended into the giant gate before several mythical phenomena of true dragons and phoenixes manifested in the air above the gate.

"The secret realm is finally opening!"

"Ah, I will finally have a chance to reach the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"Hurry inside when the gate opens! This large disturbance will surely have alerted people within a few thousand miles radius!" As the giant gate located at the bottom of the valley began shining in all kinds of colours, as true dragons and phoenixes made out of qi manifested and floated around the gate. The surrounding cultivators all got excited as they prepared to rush into the secret realm the moment it opened up.

Boom!

With a large explosion, the qi within the surrounding hundred-mile radius was instantly drawn towards the giant as it slowly began to open, revealing a large ancient forest hidden inside.

"It's open, everyone, let's go before those bigshots show up and force us all away!" Upon hearing the voice of one excited wandering cultivator, the rest of the people present were all excited as they all began to rush towards the entrance into the secret realm.

"How dumb… Don't they know that entering a new secret realm first is one of the most dangerous things…?" Shaking his head, a bit when he saw the bunch of over eager people rushing into the world hidden behind the gate, Chi Hu found a place to sit down and wait for Xuan Hao to show up.

ROAR!

"Argh, help me!" Chi Hu's prediction was right as only a few moments after the first people entered the secret realm, the roar of a demon beast could be heard followed by the terrified scream of a male cultivator.

This scream stopped the few people just about to enter as they saw the person excitedly calling for them to enter earlier torn to shreds by a giant lion demon beast at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, but this hesitation to enter only lasted for a moment before they charged inside. The benefit and chance a secret realm could bring them was not something they could give up on just from seeing someone dying in front of them! This represented a chance to reach the Domain Lord Realm!

"Roar!" The lion demon beast had just finished the cultivator off and was about to enjoy a well-deserved meal, when a few dozen people at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm and a few at the Nascent Soul Realm suddenly appeared and launched a barrage of attacks towards it.

"Roaaaar?" Letting out a pitiful roar, the lion demon beast at the peak of the Core Formation Realm died under the attack of the large group of cultivators. Not knowing why so many humans had suddenly appeared out of the blue to attack him.

The group of cultivators did not stay together for long as they quickly split up into their own small groups or went alone to explore the secret realm after the death of the lion demon beast.

"Hah… Seems like I was a bit too slow to inform Elder Xuan…" Smiling a bit wryly as he saw that only he himself and a few others remained outside the gate, waiting for their friends to explore the secret realm, Chi Hu regrated that he did not inform Elder Xuan at an earlier point in time.

"Oh, I think I arrived just on time!" As Chi Hu was lamenting to himself about not informing Xuan Hao earlier, a familiar voice echoed out behind him.

"Elder Xuan!" Turning around, Chi Hu excitedly called out as he saw Xuan Hao standing a few meters behind him dressed in a plain white robe. Looking like a normal wandering cultivator that just happened to pass by.

Chi Hu did not think this was weird as the treasures inside a secret realm was not something that the current Flying Sword Sect could bear to obtain without incurring a sect destroying catastrophe. Staying lowkey and anonymous was the best idea, so coming dressed as an elder of the Flying Sword Sect would just draw unwanted attention and future trouble to the sect.
