Chapter 91: 91 - Tempest secret realm (05)

Despite Qingyi’s threats, none of the foundation realm cultivators dared to move.

Their eyes shifted between the beautiful, bloodied figure and the corpses scattered across the ground.

Even though they had witnessed everything with their own eyes, it was still hard to believe.

It only took one of them to take a step back for the rest to begin retreating.

That young man was clearly an incomparable genius. It was not worth continuing that fight.

Even if he was injured and they had a high chance of victory, how many would still die to gain just a few more hours on the upper floors?

"Ah..." Qingyi exhaled as he sat cross-legged, circulating his Qi.

Despite the sharp pain, it was not a deep wound.

"Oh... young master Qingyi is amazing!" He heard a cheerful and excited voice. Opening his eyes, he saw Xiaoguo, Laosan, and the rest of his group.

The young man had a bright look toward Qingyi as he looked at the corpses.

The carnage didn’t shock him—that was how this world worked. He had always known that, from the moment he decided to become a cultivator.

Laosan, on the other hand, was a little agitated and even regretful.

The money was good, of course, but did they really have to get involved with someone so scary?

Qingyi ignored them, continuing to focus on his wound. NovelFire

It didn’t take long to heal it completely, the Qi flowing through his torn flesh, restoring it without leaving a single scar on his pale skin. NovelFire

Opening his eyes, he stood up and looked at the gate. It wouldn’t be long before it opened.

"What are the next two floors like?" Qingyi asked, looking at the horizon.

A loud bang echoed, followed by a blinding light that cut through the sky like a silver blade.

It probably came from one of the gates, whose guardian had been defeated even before Qingyi’s.

There was only one person among all the foundation cultivators who would have the power to do that: Young Master Shen.

This obviously worried him.

He was almost certain that the Serene Cloud Sect was there for the lightning spirit.

He needed to get to the fifth floor as quickly as possible.

Laosan hesitated for a brief moment, his eyes also focused on the light on the horizon.

"The second floor is basically a maze. I don’t know much about how it works.

We only got through it by luck, wandering aimlessly while mining Qi crystals and eventually finding a door that led to the third floor."

Qingyi nodded silently before asking, "And the third?"

He hated things that depended on luck, but with his draconic eyes, he doubted very much that he wouldn’t be able to find some pattern that would lead to the door.

"Well... Actually... we only stayed there for an hour.

It’s like a forest, in the center of it all, there’s a gold mansion, but we just looked at it from afar before turning back. The whole place was full of spirit beasts from the foundation realm."

Hearing those words, Qingyi sighed before shaking her head. That information wasn’t very useful.

"But we know what the challenge to climb to the fourth floor is like!" Laosan hurriedly said, regaining Qingyi’s interest.

"It’s a test of technique. There are two gates, and to open them, you have to cut the gates in half! Whoever opens them can allow up to four other people to enter."

"So simple?" The handsome young man raised his eyebrows, but soon shook his head. Obviously, it wasn’t that simple; there must be something else.

’The first was a test of power, the second seems to be some kind of perception test, while the third is a test of technique...’

"And the fourth floor?"

"It’s a room." This time, it was Chen Tiezhu who answered. He was a rough-looking man of few words.

Seeming to think about something for a brief moment, he continued, "It’s just a dimly lit room with a final gate leading to the fifth floor.

Ten people can enter that gate, but no one has ever come back. That’s why they say that the fifth floor is the last one, where the master of the secret realm lives, killing everyone who dares to enter."

"I see..." Qingyi scratched his chin as he pondered those last words, but he didn’t have much time to delve deeper into his thoughts.

A loud crack echoed and the density of Qi around him briefly exploded, vibrating against his skin as the door opened with a burst of light.

Its interior revealed the same layer of black clouds as the entrance to the secret realm.

"If you want to follow me, you can, but I won’t wait for anyone," Qingyi declared as he took a step toward the gate.

The information he had obtained from them had not been much better than what he could probably get by buying a drink for some local drunk in a bar, but he did not waste time thinking about it.

He hoped to be able to explore the place more calmly and also make some gains from the countless opportunities that this place held, and in that case, they would have been very useful.

Unfortunately, that was not the case.

He had to hurry and reach the lightning spirit before it was too late.

If the rumors about young master Shen’s talent were true, he really had a real chance of being accepted by the lightning spirit.

The texts in the lightning spirit temple clearly stated that the spirit would only accept one of its priestesses, but Qingyi obviously would not be convinced by that.

The texts did not mention anything about any secret realm, nor about the challenges to reach the highest levels; their reliability was not very high.

Soon after Qingyi’s back disappeared through the door, the group exchanged glances.

"Should we follow him?" Li Gouzi asked, but the looks on everyone’s faces made it very obvious.

No fucking way! That handsome young master was clearly a magnet for trouble!

"How about we call it a day and go for a drink?" Xiaoguo proposed, eliciting smiles from the whole group.

"That’s the best idea you’ve had since you joined the group, brat," Laosan ruffled Xiaoguo’s hair before turning toward the horizon.

"I’ll drink anything, as long as it’s on you!" Mei smiled as she hugged Xiaoguo from behind, drawing an embarrassed cry from him.

Soon, the first floor of the secret realm was filled with laughter as the group withdrew.
