Deep within a palace in the area enveloped by the golden light pillar of the Ancient Mysterious Realm, a middle-aged man respectfully bowed and reported to several projections.
When he spoke excitedly, the middle-aged man even let out strange cackling sounds.
“Hmm, remember, this matter must not go wrong.”
“Our Holy Sects united to create this Secret Realm, at a great cost. If we cannot wipe out all the Righteous Path Sect Disciples below the Divine Palace Realm this time, our losses will be severe.”
A projection’s voice said hoarsely.
“Please rest assured, Senior, there will be no mistakes.”
“These Righteous Path Disciples will first be attacked by Yao Beasts upon entering the Secret Realm, and all the Yao Beasts brought into the Ancient Mysterious Realm are at the Divine Palace Realm, which will surely cause heavy casualties among these Disciples.”
“Even if they survive and come to this so-called trial ground, there will be an even greater gift waiting for them.”
“Furthermore, even if they truly endure the trials, there is still this Junior overseeing it.”
“Although the rules of this Secret Realm suppress this Junior’s cultivation to the Peak of the Divine Palace Realm, this Junior’s experience and knowledge remain, which is enough to suppress all these ants.”
The middle-aged man bowed again, speaking with full confidence.
“Hmm.”
All the projections nodded in satisfaction.
They also didn’t think any mistakes would occur, as this trap was too perfectly interconnected.
They used the emergence of an ancient Secret Realm to attract the attention of various Righteous Path Sects, then used Yao Beasts to filter out a batch of Disciples, followed by three trials that could kill another batch, and even had this middle-aged man, whom they specially arranged, overseeing it.
Mistakes?
It was clearly impossible for mistakes to occur.
They were only worried about unexpected situations where they might get caught instead of catching others; otherwise, they actually wanted to restrict the rules to a higher Realm, so that the younger generation of the Righteous Path could truly all die.
“Let’s see how many Righteous Path Disciples have died now.”
A projection said casually.
“Yes, Senior.”
The middle-aged man smiled knowingly, formed a hand seal, and projected the scene from the Ancient Mysterious Realm.
As strands of Qi converged, it seemed to mysteriously connect with the rules of the Ancient Mysterious Realm, and in an instant, a light screen appeared before everyone.
The content of the light screen was precisely the current scene of the Ancient Mysterious Realm.
“Hmm? Where are the Yao Beasts?”
When they clearly saw the situation on the screen, both the middle-aged man and the several projections were stunned.
Why were there only Righteous Path Disciples running frantically, but no Yao Beasts?
Thinking it was a coincidence, the middle-aged man switched the screen again, and still, there were no Yao Beasts.
Switch, switch, switch!
Frantically switching, they found that every screen only showed Disciples heading to the trial grounds without any Yao Beasts chasing them. Instantly, everyone in the great hall looked bewildered.
“Immediately check the entire Ancient Mysterious Realm to see where the problem is.”
A projection immediately said.
“Yes.”
The middle-aged man swallowed and quickly responded, accelerating to observe the situation in every part of the Ancient Mysterious Realm.
Finally, the middle-aged man switched the screen to Ye Fei’s side.
When they saw countless Yao Beasts gathered around Ye Fei, and when they saw Ye Fei knocking out Yao Beasts with a single punch, easily exploding hundreds of Yao Beasts with a casual punch or palm, the atmosphere in the entire great hall froze.
Middle-aged man: (ΩДΩ).
Several projections: (￣△￣；).
G-g-goodness, whose subordinate is this? Whose Disciple is this? So fierce!?
Everyone felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping through their hearts.
“Wait, how does this child seem to get stronger after killing Yao Beasts? The more he kills, the stronger he gets?”
A projection noticed something amiss and exclaimed.
Are you leveling up by fighting monsters here!?
“This child has a problem! A very big problem! His strength has already exceeded the Divine Palace Realm, how could he enter the Secret Realm!?”
“Could it be that he only broke through to the Divine Palace Realm after entering the Secret Realm?”
“Impossible. Even if he breaks through in the Secret Realm, his cultivation will be suppressed by the rules, preventing him from exerting power above the Divine Palace Realm.”
“Then what exactly is going on!?”
“Something’s wrong, very wrong. Look, this child only used the power of his Physical Body, pure Qi and blood, without even using Divine Power.”
“Is this really a Human Race? Is this not an ancient Vicious Beast cub? Which Human Race has such strong Physical Body power!”
As they continued to watch, the projections discovered more and more problems.
For a moment, all the projections were shocked.
Even though their faces were blurry, just from the twisting and fluctuating of the projections, one could imagine how difficult it was for them to calm their emotions at that moment.
“Chen Sheng, you must capture this child for me! There must be a great secret on this child!”
A projection suddenly looked at the middle-aged man, with strong greed and curiosity in his eyes, and said coldly.
“Yes, please rest assured, Senior, this Junior will definitely capture this child.”
“This child has already gone to the trial grounds. Under the three trials, even if he doesn’t die, he will be severely weakened. At that time, this Junior can suppress him without any effort.”
Chen Sheng shivered, then immediately guaranteed with a ferocious expression.
“Excellent.”
All the projections nodded and continued to look at Ye Fei with curiosity.
They had all been young before, and had seen countless young generations, many of whom were Prodigies and Geniuses, but someone as outrageous as Ye Fei... they had truly never seen!
They were very interested in the secrets surrounding Ye Fei.
.........
“Strange, why do I feel like someone is watching me?”
Ye Fei frowned slightly and glanced at the Void Realm, thinking to himself.
He trusted his intuition very much; even without detecting any movement, Ye Fei was certain that he had not sensed wrongly.
Was it the grand voice that spoke earlier?
Or was it the System!?
Ye Fei didn’t think too much about it; it wasn’t important. Anyway, once he became the master of this Secret Realm, he would know.
“My cultivation has already broken through to the sixth Heaven of the Moving Mountain Realm. These Yao Beasts on the outskirts of the Secret Realm are negligible to me now. There’s no need to waste time here anymore. I should hurry to the trial grounds.”
Ye Fei took a deep breath, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes.
These outer Yao Beasts were easy to kill, but those closer to the trial grounds would definitely be harder to kill. He felt it was a bit dangerous, but not a big problem. Ye Fei was confident he could handle it.
With the thought of avoiding them if possible, but killing and refining them to improve his cultivation if he truly encountered them, Ye Fei took a step and flew towards the trial grounds.
Yes, flying!
This was an ability Ye Fei discovered after breaking through to what he considered the sixth Heaven of the Moving Mountain Realm. Originally, he could only gather strength to jump into the sky and briefly hover, but after the Breakthrough, he mysteriously gained the ability to truly fly through the air.
Regarding this, Ye Fei could only sigh that this Xuanhuan World was indeed advanced; merely the first Realm of the Cultivation System could grant the ability to fly through the air by strengthening the Physical Body.
The reason he felt a bit solemn just now was the thought that if the Moving Mountain Realm was already this powerful, then the Spirit Sea Realm and Divine Palace Realm would definitely be even more terrifying.
Flying all the way, “with minor scares but no real danger,” he didn’t encounter a single Yao Beast. After twenty minutes of entering the Secret Realm, Ye Fei finally reached the light pillar’s range.
“It’s been almost half a day since I Transmigrated to this Xuanhuan World, System... I’m finally going to catch you again. Didn’t expect that, did you? Just wait and see, I definitely won’t let you off easy!”
Looking at the area enveloped by the light pillar ahead, a hint of anticipation appeared in Ye Fei’s eyes as he stepped into it.
.........
“This child is indeed extraordinary. He started traveling later, yet he was the first to reach the trial grounds. Such flying speed already far exceeds the Divine Palace Realm.”
In the palace, a projection said with a sigh.
“Does this child possess some kind of Holy Body or Physique?”
“No, I haven’t seen any divine anomalies or phenomena of a supreme Physique appearing on him. Perhaps he possesses a supreme Physique, but it hasn’t been discovered yet.”
Two projections spoke back and forth.
“Hehehe, please rest assured, Seniors, the first trial of this trial ground is not simple. If nothing unexpected happens, this child will be severely injured in the first stage.”
Chen Sheng said with a fawning bow and a sinister tone.
“Oh? Severely injured? What is the first stage you set up, Chen Sheng?”
A projection asked curiously.
“An illusion!”
Chen Sheng said in a deep voice: “As long as one sinks into the illusion, their Divine Soul will be slowly worn away, until their Soul completely becomes muddled.”
“And the illusion this Junior set up, as long as a person is alive, they will absolutely sink into it!”
By the end, Chen Sheng was full of confidence, very confident in the illusion he had set up.
“Very good, Chen Sheng, you are indeed the new rising star of our Holy Sect. Truly evil, truly insidious. After this is over, your position can be moved up.”
A projection said with satisfaction.
“Thank you, Senior.”
Chen Sheng bowed and thanked him joyfully.
