Chapter 45 Entering The Secret Realm

[Ding! A new protagonist is detected near the host!]

"Huh? What the hell, I didn't even finish the first one and already a second one appeared." Wang complained.

"Where is he?" Wang Chen looked around at the disciples who were all present near him.

"Hmm?" Wang Chen noticed a disciple of the Blood Fang Sect shining with a golden aura with a sealed chain lock on it.

The disciple was of average height, with a lean but muscular build. His features were not particularly handsome, but there was a fierce determination in his dark eyes that caught Wang Chen's attention.

"System, show me his status," Wang ordered.

[Ding! Unable to display status.]

"What do you mean? Why can't I see his status?" Wang Chen became confused. This was the first time the system had failed to display a character's status.

[Ding! Host, that individual has not yet unlocked their identity as a protagonist. Currently, they are under the protection of Heaven's Will. Once they unlock their protagonist identity, you will be able to view their status.]

Wang Chen let out a sigh of disappointment. "Looks like even protagonists have to go through identity crises," he muttered to himself.

Wang Chen then turned his attention to the other disciples, scanning the group for any signs of those with decent luck. He was determined to find new opportunities for himself in this secret realm.

"Ahem ahem…. I am an elder from one of the top sects in the Canglian dynasty. Listen to me, all of you disciples who are going to the secret realm. I am going to tell you what you need to do to pass the test." He stood tall in mid-air, his voice amplified by the power of his Qi, ensuring that every single person in the vicinity could hear him loud and clear.

"As you enter the secret realm, you will find various types of medicinal plants and treasures. Legend has it that there is an inheritance of the great emperor hidden within, but no one has found it yet. However, there are also beasts in the secret realm, and they range in cultivation level from Foundation Building Realm to Core Formation Realm," explained the elder.

He continued, "Beasts in the Foundation Building Realm are considered normal, as they don't have their core form. However, from the Enlightenment Realm, some beasts have their core, and these beasts are called Tier-1 Beasts. In the Innate Realm, those beasts are called Tier-2, and in the Core Transformation Realm, beasts are called Tier-3. If you kill a Tier-1 beast and submit its core to me, you will receive 1 point. If you submit a Tier-2 beast core, you will get 2 points, and if you submit a Tier-3 beast core, you will get 3 points."

The elder paused for a moment before addressing the disciples' concerns. "I know what most of you are worrying about - that some high-cultivation-base disciples will kill Tier-3 beasts and win easily. But you don't have to worry because there are not many Tier-3 beasts present, and there are maze formations. Even if your cultivation base is high, if your dao heart is not strong, you could become confused and will likely be sent back here after the examination is over or be killed by some beast. So, don't let your guard down."

After explaining all the details, the elder approached the gate of the secret realm, used a token, and pressed on the gate to open it.

As the token suddenly went in, there was a creek sound and slowly the gate started opening.

The elder announced, using his Qi to amplify his voice. "All the disciples who enter will be sent to different locations randomly and you will have seven days to explore the realm. After that, all the disciples will be automatically kicked out and those who performed the best will be selected for the second round."

With that, the elder stepped closer to the gate and inserted the token, causing it to open fully. "Now, each sect disciple can make their way towards the secret realm gate," he said, gesturing towards the entrance.

With this information, each sect's disciples began to make their way towards the gate of the secret realm, ready to embark on their journey.

Su Zhong stood in front of Su Chen and the other members of their faction, giving them a motivational speech. "Remember, in the secret realm, we represent not only ourselves but also our sect. So, be careful and cautious in every move you make. But also, don't forget to seize every opportunity that comes your way. Let's show them what we're made of!"

Upon hearing Su Zhong's motivational speech, the great elder couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, as he was already devising a devious plan.

Wang Chen's eyes narrowed as he caught a glimpse of the Great Elder's sly grin. Sensing that something was amiss. He turned to the system to check the Great Elder's status.

Upon seeing the Great Elder's status, Wang Chen was shocked. He had not expected the Great Elder to be so ruthless, even with his own sect disciples. He muttered to himself, "This guy is up to something. I'll have to be extra careful in the secret realm."

"But now that I know the plan, I can turn the tables and use it against the great elder. He will surely regret thinking about this plan," thought Wang Chen to himself.

Wang Chen moved forward with the other disciples towards the entrance of the secret realm. As soon as he entered, he was enveloped in a bright light and soon found himself teleported to a wilderness area within the secret realm.

He looked around and didn't see any other disciples nearby. He used his spiritual sense to scan the area and found that some disciples had spawned in a nearby location. Without wasting any time, he hurried in that direction.
