Chapter 211 - I’ll Stop Pretending and Show My Hand (1/2)

Boom!

The world was shaking.

Inside the Womb Realm, everyone who had been cultivating felt the tremor and were jolted out of their trance.

Jiang He awoke with a start as well.

However, unlike the others, he was yanked out of a dream.

Rubbing his drowsy eyes, Jiang He arose from his soft, large bed and walked up to the window. Looking out, he saw an opening split out of the horizon.

“Huh…”

“The Secret Realm’s passage is open?”

Yawning, Jiang He stepped out of his mansion, reverting his luxurious mansion into a capsule.

He put it away and walked out of the gorge he had been in, and climbed up a peak.

“Eh?”

Jiang He!

Nearby, Cheng Dongfeng was cheerfully waving and dashing towards Jiang He, all smiles as he asked, “How was your cultivation, Jiang He?”

“It’s alright.”

Jiang He replied simply, muttering inwardly that he did not cultivate at all anyway. Then, after a glance at Cheng Dongfeng, he frowned and could not help asking, “Why aren’t you rank-eight yet?”

Cheng Dongfeng’s smile stiffened.

At first, he had been thrilled.

After all, he was merely rank-seven novice-pinnacle when he entered the Secret Realm. Though he made it up to rank-seven pinnacle, he was just one step away from rank-eight.

Most importantly, Cheng Dongfeng had glimpsed how he should take that ‘step’ in the seven-days’ worth of cultivation, and he was confident that he could reach rank-eight in one month even after he left the Secret Realm.

Even so…

Jiang He’s single line flung his mood into the bottom of the abyss.

Forced to change the conversation, Cheng Dongfeng said, “By the way, I’ve never seen any of the Diamond Sect Disciples since I entered the Womb Realm. I was actually worried that they would bother us on purpose and interfere with our group’s cultivation. It seems that I was being petty despite their magnanimity… I’m surprised that their disciples are that well-disciplined.”

Jiang He was about to answer when he saw a Buddhist radiance descending from the skies—the head monk of the Diamond Sect had come personally to receive Jiang He.

“How has your tour been, Mister Jiang He?”

The head monk asked with a smile, catching both Jiang He and Cheng Dongfeng with a curious energy with a wave of his hand.

Jiang He was at a loss for words and complained, “Head monk, the design of your sect’s Secret Realm is a little illogical. I can’t leave for seven days, so what if there’s a family emergency back home or catch some serious sickness that needs curing without delay?”

The head monk was speechless.

The disciples’ family was the Diamond Sect itself. What emergency could there be?

As for sickness…

Golden Sect disciples who were allowed to enter the Womb Realm would be at least rank-seven or even above divine-tempest, each of them as lively as the next—how could they be sick?

He turned to Jiang He and exclaimed in surprise, “Could your family have an emergency?”

“Haha!”

Jiang He laughed before answering truthfully, “It’s no big deal. I was just bored in here and so wanted to go out for a stroll.

Bored?

Now this is too much.

The others could not wait to cultivate as much as they could once inside the Secret Realm.

And then there’s you, who came here to complain about being bored?

Still, how could the head monk say something like that?

Meanwhile, even as the head monk brought Jiang He and Cheng Dongfeng out of the Secret Realm passage, River White Nima was flying out of the Secret Realm too.
