Chapter Unexpected Secret Realm

On this day, the Demon Spirit Sect welcomed three uninvited guests. The three stood suspended in the air, looking down like judges delivering a sentence.

The outcome of this matter was already predestined.

The Demon Spirit Sect had miscalculated. Su Yu and his companions' abilities far exceeded their imagination, even though they were confident at the start.

By the end, things went wrong; the Demon Spirit Sect's defeat was set in stone from the beginning.

Meanwhile, the Disciples at the stronghold were all waiting for the return of Su Yu and the others.

When they saw those three figures appear, the crowd began to boil with excitement.

They noticed that all three bore various injuries, but looking at their expressions, they knew the matter had been resolved.

The Disciples cheered as their previous fears vanished.

Su Yu and the others descended to the stronghold.

“The matter is resolved. The Sect will send more people over; the rest is up to you.”

“Rest assured, Elder Su.”

After speaking, the three exchanged glances and prepared to leave.

As the teleportation formation activated, the three vanished from where they stood.

The Disciples watched their departing figures, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

These were the Elders and Peak Masters of their Xuantian Sect—so powerful that just three of them could contend with an entire Sect.

They also wanted to become existences like the Elders.

In the Eastern Region, this incident caused quite a stir.

It wasn't until the Demon Spirit Sect's defeat that they learned the details of the event.

Some Sects hadn't expected the Demon Spirit Sect to have the confidence to clash with the Xuantian Sect.

That was the strongest power in the Southern Region, after all. In terms of strength alone, they were more powerful than any single power in the Eastern Region.

The Sect's foundation could now be described as unfathomable.

Some powers regretted not knowing about this sooner; otherwise, they would have helped earlier to give the Xuantian Sect some Face.

That might have been helpful to them in the future.

Many people had different views on this matter.

It certainly made many powers realize one thing: the Xuantian Sect was not to be trifled with.

This was especially true for the powers of the Demonic Path.

Although they were curious why the Demon Spirit Sect would try to occupy the Xuantian Sect's territory,

that secret would likely remain buried there forever.

Upon returning to the Xuantian Sect, Su Yu spoke up, “When I was at that stronghold earlier, I felt the fluctuations of a Secret Realm.”

The other two heard this and asked, “What? We didn't notice anything at all.”

“I have done quite a bit of research on these things, so I can sense it. Those people from the Demonic Path probably took those actions because of this Secret Realm.”

Hearing this, the two understood. They had no thoughts of doubting Su Yu's words.

After all, Su Yu's current strength and status were right there.

“I see. No wonder the Demon Spirit Sect attacked us there. I suspect that Secret Realm must hold some secret or items worth the risk.”

Su Yu nodded. “Exactly. Let's go back and explain the situation to the Sect Master.”

The three arrived at the Sect Master's Great Hall. Liang Wenjing watched as the three returned.

“You're back. I have already handled Elder Gao's affairs and dispatched other Elders to that location.”

“This matter was thanks to you all.”

Wen Yu looked at Liang Wenjing and said, “Sect Master, these are small matters. By the way, there is something else you should know about.”

She then recounted Su Yu's words to the Sect Master.

“I see. No wonder. To think such a thing exists. It seems this Secret Realm is not simple, and the things inside should be quite precious.”

“This is also an opportunity for us. Since the Demonic Path acted so discreetly, it means the value within is not low.”

“We need to send people over to explore it when that Secret Realm opens.”

“If it's good, we can even let the Sect Disciples go inside for some tempering.”

Seeing this, Su Yu said, “If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first, Sect Master.”

“Mhm, I will go handle the matter you mentioned.”

With that, the three left the hall.

Wen Yu looked at Su Yu, who was about to leave. “Elder Su, remember to tell me when Sister Ling returns.”

“Mhm, alright.”

Su Yu returned to his courtyard.

The news that his cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation had already spread.

This didn't cause too much of a stir.

Many Disciples had their own ideas in mind.

At this moment, a Disciple who heard this news also had some thoughts.

He was a newly entered Disciple and knew about Su Yu's affairs.

After learning more, he also had this intention.

If he could become Su Yu's Disciple, his status would naturally go without saying. In the Xuantian Sect, there weren't many people with a higher status than Su Yu now.

Moreover, Su Yu was a friend of Old Ancestor Ye Lin.

Plus, since he had no other Disciples, resources and such could surely be enjoyed exclusively. This was also a very good thing.

Zhang Lei had confidence in himself—no, he had confidence in his talent.

He felt that Elder Su wouldn't refuse him; surely he just hadn't encountered a Disciple with talent like his before.

During this period, Su Yu also received visits from several friends; it was always like this whenever he came out of seclusion.

However, they wouldn't stay for too long as they had their own things to do.

It also allowed him to see many new Faces.

Those friends who had Dao Companions were now mostly surrounded by children and grandchildren; they were becoming Old Ancestors themselves.

They would also chat with Su Yu about the children in their families.

There would always be some with arrogant personalities or a few bad habits.

Some even had quite a bad reputation within the Xuantian Sect; for these matters, they were all strictly punished without leniency.

Just as Su Yu saw his friends off, he noticed a Disciple visiting.

The person coming was none other than Zhang Lei.

Su Yu did not stop Zhang Lei from entering.

Zhang Lei saw Su Yu sitting in the courtyard. “Disciple Zhang Lei pays respects to Elder Su.”

“Are you also here to seek apprenticeship?”

“Yes, this Disciple wishes to take Elder Su as my master. I believe my Aptitude is acceptable.”

Su Yu looked at the Zhang Lei before him.

Indeed, he was a possessor of the Lightning Spiritual Root, which was a Mutated Spiritual Root.

In the Southern Region, this was indeed an extraordinary talent.

Generally, Elders and Peak Masters would basically not refuse such a Disciple, and might even come to blows over him.

But Su Yu was different.

“A Lightning Spiritual Root is indeed good talent, but as I've said, I do not take Disciples. You should go back. Even if I were to take a Disciple, talent is not very important in my eyes.”

Zhang Lei wanted to say something more, but seeing Su Yu wave his hand,

he turned and left. This was the first time he had hit a wall.

Previously, as a Lightning Spiritual Root holder, he could say he had whatever he wanted.

Elder Su was indeed difficult to deal with.

Su Yu watched the departing Zhang Lei. It was normal for a youth with strong talent to be confident in themselves.

Who wouldn't have some unique thoughts when achieving extraordinary things at a young age?

Even he was the same; he didn't deny his own past ordinariness.

Su Yu looked into the distance, thought of some things,

and then vanished from the spot.
