Chapter 325 - Absorbing The Saint Herb (1/2)
This young man was Zhong Yue, he had traipsed past two layers of seals and reached to a teleportation formation where he was transported to the Swords Gate secret realm. After that, he deciphered the 64 layers of water curtain seals under Xin Huo guidance before finally reaching the other side of Swords Gate Mountain where he met Jun Sixie and the others.
The ten elders saw that it was him, and they all heaved a breath of relief at the same time. They then released their Sword Qi and kept their soul weapons.
"How did Seal Suppression Hall Master come to be in this secret realm?"
Elder Lei Shan's voice rumbled like thunder, he asked, "How did you go in and how did you get out?"
Zhong Yue hesitated for a second before he opened up to them, "I entered through the Devil Soul Forbidden Land. I retrieved the bodies of all the previous headmasters as well as Elder Feng's. Then, I walked all the way up to this secret realm and saw the headmaster and elders right here. What are you all doing here?"
The elders blushed in embarrassment and had their mouths became tightly shut. The fact that they were planning to open the secret realm but were stopped before even entering was something they would prefer not to say. This was not to mention explaining their fear and anxiety when they mistook Zhong Yue's silhouette for a godly zombie or even a living god.
Those present were the respected elders of the Elder Council, and the great Headmaster Jun — all of them were fully equipped, and there was even the Great Boundless Divine Sword of Swords Gate with them. And yet, none of them could enter the secret realm, whereas an Atman Body hall master had just taken a tour around it as if it were his home.
It was way too embarrassing to say out loud; hence, they would rather steer away from the issue.
Jun Sixie and Shui Zian exchanged looks and saw the joy and surprise in each other's eyes. From Zhong Yue's words, did he mean that he had entered the Devil Soul Forbidden Land and strolled around it until he met with them?
How was that possible?
Shui Zian then quickly asked, "Is the Devil Soul Forbidden Land safe to walk around in now?"
Zhong Yue shook his head, and he answered, "Not now, but Elder Feng has exterminated the power in it, so the Swords Gate will still be safe for the next five hundred years. But despite the little threat it poses now, it is still not a place you would wish to enter. I'm betting that not even Elder Shui will be able to make it out safely."
Shui Zian's face turned dark and gloomy. His eyes glared ferociously at the hall master while he breathed heavily in anger. As of this moment, he had never had a greater urge to beat this kid up.
What do you mean by Elder Shui not making it out?
This brat entered the Devil Soul Forbidden Land and came out like as if it were nothing. What was he implying by saying that Elder Shui can't do it? Is Elder Shui that weak?
Zhong Yue then said apologetically, "Elder Shui, I'm not really good with words, so I hope that you can forgive me for that. But … it is true that you can't come out once you've entered. Although I can, it's not possible if you follow along … Well, I'm not saying that you are a burden ... no, why are you looking at me like that … No, don't, don't hit me. I'm just being honest and truthful … Old man! Stop! If you don't, then I will fight back … Damn it. I'll take you to the grave with me then!"
Shui Zian had pulled him over and pummeled him into the ground. The two of them rolled on the cold floor and fought like brutes. The elders on the side then quickly stepped in to intervene, but somehow, within the confusion, a few more legs joined in on kicking Zhong Yue. Even the new headmaster made sure to land a few discreet kicks on his butt.
After the two kicks she gave him on the butt, Jun Sixie's face blushed in red. She calmed her thoughts and said, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around already. Seal Suppression Hall Hall Master, how exactly did you get out?"
The crowd dispersed and to leave Zhong Yue in the middle, whose clothes were disheveled after being bullied by the elders.
Zhong Yue tidied his clothes and then said smilingly, "Of course I've just walked out like how you walk out from a door. After all, these 64 seals are nothing compared to the gods' seals of the Devil Soul Forbidden Land. It really isn't that difficult."
The elders nearly spurted out a mouth of blood, and their urge to beat him up that had just been appeased suddenly flared again.
Way too easy? If it were easy, why would they, the elders, and even the headmaster be left twiddling their thumbs in resignation outside of the secret realm barrier?
The words that
came out of this brat sounded like a grating taunt to their ears!
"You all can't get in?"
Zhong Yue was puzzled, "Well, in that case, I guess I can teach you then. Please don't look at me like that again, am I monster or something? It really irks me…."
The elders and Jun Sixie wee speechless, while Elder Lei Shan quickly asked, "Are there any treasures in the secret realm?"
Zhong Yue nodded, "Yes, two divine weapons revolving around the god's sitting corpse."
The elders and Jun Sixie's eyes lit up. Jun Wumei quickly said, "Are there any cultivation methods in it?"
Zhong Yue mulled and answered, "Didn't notice, but this secret realm is very big. I suppose this god would have left behind some sort of cultivation heritage. However, that should only be available after passing through the tests that it left behind."
Just like the heritage of the Monster God Ming King, this Swords Gate secret realm would also have the heritage of the guardian god, one that wasn't any more inferior to that of the Monster God Ming King!
The elders were overjoyed, and Zhong Yue said solemnly, "But we can do this later. For now, we shall bury the ancestors I've brought out from the Devil Soul Forbidden Land."
The others concurred, after all, the headmasters and Elder Feng's funeral were more important. They could always come back to the secret realm after that.
The crowd hiked to the golden summit and summoned all of the disciples to hold the grandest funeral they ever had to bury the headmasters and Elder Feng into the Grand Spirit Palace. This Grand Spirit Palace was forged by Jun Sixie and the Elder Council to enshrine the headmasters and distinguished heroes of humanity.
