Chapter 648: Secret Realm

Everyone shook their heads at Neil's stubbornness; however, they weren't bothered by it.

"Shall we start moving?"

One of the vagrant cultivators asked Ramon.

"Sure. Let's go,"

Ramon nodded his head and soon everyone present in the main hall started moving towards the cursed wilderness.

…..

For a normal level 1 commander realm cultivator it takes more than 2 hours to reach the cursed wilderness from the mercenary guild. So, all of them felt Neil was wasting his time.

Moreover, his spirit consciousness was almost empty and he could not use any movement cultivation technique to reach there in time.

'I have to give my best,'

There was a reason why he was stubborn and it was because of his brother.

When they were young, someone picked a fight with him and his brother came to his rescue despite the fact that his big brother was much weaker than the opposite party, he didn't give up and killed him.

After that event, his brother was selected by an elder as his disciple and they started staying in the assassin sect.

'My brother won the fight because he gave his best in the fight. So, I will do that same,'

It created a great impact on him and from that day onwards he was stubborn when it comes to challenges or tasks.

....

Somewhere in an endless space,

'Where am I?'

Both Levi and Paulin appeared into an endless space at the same time and after looking at their surroundings they muttered to themself.

Along with them, there was another person who didn't talk anything and walked in a specific direction.

'Oh, Brother Levi,'

'Brother Paulin'

The next second, they were surprised to see each other and immediately called out their names.

"Brother Levi, Brother Paulin,"

Before they could speak another sentence, they heard a familiar voice from a distance.

"Ajax?"

The voice belonged to none other than Ajax who came way earlier than them into this endless space.

"Yes, it's me."

Ajax smilingly replied to them as he came near to them.

Behind him, Justice was standing like an obedient follower without taking anything.

He was the third person that came along with Levi and Paulin; however, he sensed Ajax and moved towards him before informing him about Levi and Paulin.

"What is this place?"

Since Ajax came before them, they thought Ajax must know something about it. So, they asked him about it.

"I don't know,"

However, Ajax shook his head as he was also clueless about this location.

"But, according to the note there, we are supposed to wait here for the six vagrant cultivators to come,"

Ajax pointed his finger at a small board in the distance and said to them.

"Oh. So, let's wait then,"

Levi nodded his head as he was excited to see what these 'Six vagrant cultivators' were capable of doing.

According to what he learned, the Zrochester province was just a lowly province, where people could not break through to the king realm. So, he was curious about these powerful old men.

As for Paulin and Ajax, they were also excited about the next rounds.

Soon the last hours in round 1 had passed and at the same time, the sun also started rising.

'I can see the cursed wilderness,'

Neil was still unable to enter the cursed wilderness; however, the moment he saw the cursed wilderness, he was excited and unconscious, his speed increased.

'My destination is very close to the entrance of the cursed wilderness. I think I have a few more minutes, I can do it,'

Clenching his fists, he continued to run towards his destination.

'Finally, I can see my destination,'

After entering the cursed wilderness, he soon found his destination marked on the map.

However, just when he was only a few meters away from his destination, he could see that the 'X' mark on the ground disappeared.

'Aargh'

When he saw that, Neil shouted to the sky at the top of his lungs for a few moments and became silent after that.

There was no sad or depressed look on his face as he remained calm and looked at his surroundings for a moment, before going out of the cursed wilderness.

"Where are you going? Don't you want to try other rounds?"

Just as he exited the cursed wilderness, he heard Ramon's voice from the above.

'H..he i..is f...flying,'

Neil was shocked to see Ramon flying in the sky without any help.

"I asked you something,"

Ramon increased his tone as he said to Neil.

"Yes, sir. I want to give it a try,"

After hearing Ramon's condensed voice, he hurriedly suppressed his shock and with a nod, he gave a reply to Ramon.

"Good. Come with me,"

After saying that, Ramon started flying toward the earlier location where Neil was coming from.

Even though Ramon said that he basically didn't bother to look back at Neil because Neil was also flying along with him.

'I am flying...I am flying,'

Neil was excited as he enjoyed the feeling of flying without a flying mount.

...….

Inside the endless space,

'Swoosh'

While Ajax, Levi and Paulin were waiting for the six vagrant cultivators, they saw many familiar young cultivators start to appear in the endless space.

"Looks like all are coming here,"

Ajax and others were excited and hurriedly went to meet them.

Within no time, the endless space was filled with many young cultivators.

'Swoosh'

While the young cultivators were excitedly discussing the next rounds, another batch of silhouettes appeared in the endless space.

This time, it was the six vagrant cultivators, Edmond, Udo, Darbaudr, Rulf and Neil.

'Brother,'

The moment they appeared, Neil looked for his brother and hurriedly rushed towards him.

'Neil. You must have impressed one of the six vagrant cultivators. That's why they brought you here personally,'

Justice praised his brother as he knew how persistent and stubborn his brother could become. So, he assumed he must have impressed someone from the six vagrant cultivators.

'No, brother. Sir Ramon said that the so-called round 1 is just for timepass and it has nothing to do with the original disciple selection ceremony,'

Neil shook his head as he explained what he knew about the event.

'Oh'

After hearing his little brother's words, Justice didn't say anything and nodded his head.

"Everyone, this so-called round 1 is just a simple round to see how serious are you about the event,"

Soon, Ramon became the spokesperson as he was the host of the event and he continued, "The real trials will begin after we reach somewhere else and it is none other than my secret realm."

While saying that, he pointed both his thumbs to his back and all of a sudden, a portal opened that made all the young cultivators excited.

'Is that an entrance to the secret realm?'

'I heard something about it from my grandfather when I was still a kid; however, I can't remember anything,'

'Keep quiet and let's go and see,'

Some young cultivators heard abouts 'Secret realms'; however, they didn't have a clear idea about them.

Nevertheless, all the young cultivators knew one thing for sure and it was this was the fortuitous event that could change their lives.
