Chapter 46 Entering The Secret Realm

Entering the Secret Realm

In Xue Feng's office, he, along with Duke Wang, Duke Yan, and Emperor Duan Zhen.

Duke Yan's full name was Yan Zhanyu, and true to his name was an effeminate-looking man. He was also a native of The Great Xuan Empire. Like the Wang Clan, his clan had been around since its establishment. He was currently dressed in a set of blue robes that matched well with his blue eyes and black hair.

Duke Yan had the highest realm of the three Dukes at the peak of the Domain Lord Realm. However, since the Yan Family were more businessmen than fighters, he could only fight with the other two evenly and not beat them.

Currently, the three were sitting around Xue Feng while a maid had served them tea cautiously. After doing so, the girl ran off, fearing she would do anything stupid and threaten her life.

Taking a sip of the tea Duan Zhen was the first to speak, "So, have you found the Secret Realm yet, Duke Xue?"

"I have sent out one of my best subordinates to where the phenomenon came from. Whether or not it's the Secret Realm or not we will have to wait." Xue Feng said, not answering the question directly.

Though Duan Zhen was annoyed at Xue Feng's dismissiveness, he knew it was his territory, and starting a fight over something so trivial would only ruin his reputation. He snorted before closing his eyes, waiting for the message.

"Brother Xue, I see your cultivation has made progress in these past few years." Yan Zhanyu said with a smile.

Though Xue Feng did have cultivation concealing artifacts, none would work against powerhouses at his level, so his rise in cultivation was easily noticeable by the Peak stage Domain Lord Yan Zhenyu.

"Hahaha, it's still nothing compared to Brother Zhenyu." Xue Feng replied with a smile.

"It's only because of our age gap. When I was your age, I was still in the Law Manifestation Realm." Yan Zhenyu said wistfully.

Xue Feng was currently only 82. Though it might seem he was an old man with a foot in the grave, he looked like a man in his mid-thirties. With his cultivation in the Domain Lord Realm, he had a lifespan of 500 years. So in mortal realms, Xue Feng was less than a fifth of the way through his life, equalling out to less than 20 years old. However, with his slow progress in the early stages, he appears how he does now.

While Yan Zhenyu was almost 130 years old, even with his Peak Yellow Grade Martial Veins, without the elemental affinity that Xue Feng had, his progress was a level slower.

"Hmph! He most likely forced his cultivation higher with some pills he made his wife make." Wang Yichen snorted,

It was well-known within The Great Xuan Empire that Li Rou was the best alchemist. So her making pills for Xue Feng was something very plausible. Adding along to the fact that Xue Feng was at the limit of his potential, using some pills that sacrificed any future achievements was something believable.

Hearing this, Xue Feng just smiled and didn't respond. If this were a week ago, he would've defended himself. However, why should he bother with a soon-to-be-dead man?

After another hour of waiting, the group collectively opened their eyes and looked in the direction of where Xue Bai and his bodyguards were.

"This? This is someone breaking through to the Law Manifestation Realm?" Duan Zhen spoke uncertainly.

"Xue Feng, you sent a pair of Peak Law Engraving men to investigate?" Wang Yichen asked.

"Yes, this should be them. They had been at the peak of that realm for more than two years now. I assume finding the Secret Realm finally gave them a chance to break through." Xue Feng said happily.

With the Wang Twins becoming Law Manifestation Realm cultivators, he now had two more commanders underneath him. How couldn't he have been happy?

Standing up, Wang Yichen spoke, "Now that we know where the Realm is, shouldn't we go over?"

"Wait a little more. They brought along some low-cultivation slaves to check the Secret Realms limit on cultivation. They'll be sending me the info shortly." Xue Feng lied.

Xue Bai had already told him the details of the Secret Realm. However, how could he say that? So he gave a reasonable lie to give his son more time?

Nodding, not finding any irregularities in the lie, Wang Yichen said back down, awaiting the message.

After another ten minutes of waiting, Xue Feng pretended to receive the awaited message. Then, pulling out a communication slip to continue the lie, he read out, "The limit is the Muscle Nourishing Realm."

"Is there an age limit?" Wang Yichen asked.

"No, there isn't. However, we should leave opportunities like this to the young generation, shouldn't we?" Xue Feng answered.

Yan Zhenyu and Duan Zhen also nodded, agreeing with Xue Feng's statement.

Not wanting to be against the other three powerhouses, Wang Yichen put away his idea of deploying mind-controlled slaves to loot the Secret Realm for what it was worth.

"I assume you three brought along talented juniors with you?" Xue Feng asked. And after seeing the three nod, he continued, "Bring them to the Estates entrance, and I'll take you to the Secret Realm."

While the three men were gathering their clan members, Xue Bai was about to enter the Secret Realm.

"Young Master, my idiot of a brother, and I can't thank you enough for letting us break through alongside you." Big Wang said sincerely while he knelt down.

Though Little Wang was annoyed at being called an idiot, he still knelt down, too, showing his deep gratitude.

If it weren't for the Spiritual Qi wave, the twins wouldn't have broken through even with another year to prepare. But thankfully, not only did the phenomenon give him ample Spiritual QI, but it also gave them a small enlightenment allowing them to comprehend the Law Manifestation Realm and advance.

"It's fine. The stronger you two are, the better protected I am." Xue Bai said while motioning them to stand.

Standing, Big Wang asked, "Young Master, I sent the message to the Duke. Now, what do we do?"

"You two stand here and wait for my father. And I will enter the Secret Realm." Xue Bai said while going to walk in.

"Wait, Young Master, it's dangerous." Little Wang shouted while pulling Xue Bai back.

Annoyed, Xue Bai looked back at Little Wang like an idiot, "What do you think I am here for, to sightsee. I am going to enter the Secret Ream before my father and the other Dukes come here." Xue Bai snapped.

"But, Young Master, you said the limit was the Muscle Nourishing Realm. You're only in the Vein Transformation Realm. How could you defend yourself against a beast at the peak of that realm?" Little Wang said worriedly.

Not knowing how to answer that question without leaking critical information, Xue Bai just pulled Little Wang's hand off his shoulder.

"My father let me do this, so let go of me, Wang Ye." Xue Bai ordered coldly.

Hearing Xue Bai call him by his actual name Little Wang shouted back in fright. With how nice Xue Bai treated the two of them, he had forgotten that Xue Bai could have them die with one order.

"Sorry, Young Master, you can do as you'd like." Little Wang spoke softly while moving back.

Nodding, Xue Bai stepped through the paw print, which served as an entrance. Walking through, Xue Bai felt his vision blur, and his body moved rapidly. The feeling continued for about half a minute until he saw his surroundings change.

Now standing in a forest, Xue Bai saw the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.

He currently stood under a tree at the edge of a forest. While in front of him was a beautiful landscape that mesmerized him. Though he hadn't created his brain vein, allowing him to better his vision with Spiritual Qi, the purple gas he had received from the eye had strengthened his body twice fold, giving him better eyesight. And allowing Xue Bai to see this picturesque scene.

Mountains so tall they seemed to pierce the sky, trees that were thicker than ten men, grass so green it looked fake. Everything in front of him screamed beauty. If a photographer from earth took a picture of this scene in front of him, they could win a Pulitzer Prize with no competition. Sadly this view was all to Xue Bai himself.

After relishing the view, Xue Bai's eyes finally turned serious. Before his father would arrive with the Dukes and the Emperor, he had to prepare a trap that could wipe out the Wang Clan members while leaving the Yan and Duan Clan members alone. Thankfully the Secret Realm wasn't very big, and he knew just the right method to use to kill them.

"But first, I need to complete Step 2."
