Chapter 154: Ch 154- Secret Realm

The ship moved through the Cang Wilderness at a steady speed. Mo Yuan and the others stood on the deck, looking at the scenery below.

From this height, the huge wilderness looked completely different. Mountains, forests, rivers and countless beasts could be seen from above but everything seemed much smaller.

Mo Yuan looked around for a while before turning toward David.

"Senior, how long will this secret realm remain open?"

David replied, "It should last for one month. After that, we will open the entrance again so everyone inside can come out."

His expression became slightly serious as he continued, "But remember this clearly. You must come out within that month. If you miss the time, you won’t be able to leave until we open the entrance again."

Mo Yuan nodded. "Understood."

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Senior how will you open the secret realm? "

Seeing Mo Yuan’s confused expression, David explained, "We have a special formation given to us by the Holy Base. It was created by a cultivator who has made some progress in the Space Dao. With that formation, we can force open a temporary entrance to the secret realm."

"However, the formation can only be used twice."

Mo Yuan’s expression became serious.

David continued, "The first time is to open the entrance and send everyone inside. The second time is to open it again after one month so everyone can leave. That is why missing the deadline is not an option."

"I understand."

David pointed toward the sky. "Once the time comes, just look toward the sky. The exit will be very easy to see. As long as you head toward it, you will be able to leave."

Mo Yuan nodded. "I’ll make sure to leave before the month is over."

"Haha, I know you will," David said with a smile.

Mo Yuan looked at the ship beneath his feet and suddenly became curious about something else.

"Senior, how does this ship actually work? Where does it get its energy from?"

Hearing this, David and the other Sovereign Realm cultivators smiled.

"Haha, I knew you would ask that sooner or later," David said. "You already figured out that the ship is floating because of formations, right?"

Mo Yuan nodded. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

He had already guessed that much. A formation was clearly maintaining the ship’s flight but the ship still needed some kind of energy source to keep those formations running.

"As for the energy, it comes from Primordial Qi stones," David explained.

"As expected," Mo Yuan muttered.

He had already guessed it.

He looked toward the front of the ship and asked, "Then how fast can it actually go?"

"At maximum speed, around 100 Mach," David replied.

Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"100 Mach?"

"Yes but don’t expect us to travel at that speed all the time. The faster the ship moves, the more Primordial Qi stones it consumes. We can’t afford to waste that much energy."

"I see."

Mo Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

A ship capable of reaching 100 Mach was already extremely fast. If it could maintain that speed for a long period, traveling between distant bases would become much easier.

However, the Primordial Qi stone consumption must be enormous.

The group continued traveling through the wilderness while casually talking.

....

On the other side, at the location where the selected cultivators were supposed to gather, fifty-two people were already standing in the middle of a forest.

Fifty of them were the cultivators selected from the tournament and Ming Yue was also among them.

The other two were Mu Shaobei and Qin Wushang. They were standing together, waiting for the secret realm to open.

However, as time passed, confusion slowly appeared on everyone’s faces.

There was nothing special about this place. It was just an ordinary forest with huge trees covering the surroundings. There was no ancient ruin or any mysterious formation and there was not even a strange fluctuation of Primordial Qi.

"Is this really the place?" one of the cultivators asked.

"How are we supposed to enter a secret realm here?"

Before anyone could answer, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

Everyone looked up.

A massive flying ship was slowly approaching from the distance.

The ship was nearly a hundred meters long and floated high above the forest. Formation patterns could faintly be seen around its body, giving off a powerful feeling.

"Is that a flying ship?"

One of the cultivators couldn’t help but shout.

The others were equally shocked.

"It must be the transportation tool of the Sovereign Realm seniors."

Mu Shaobei also looked at the flying ship. Then he frowned slightly.

"Mo Yuan, my sister and Bai Ningning aren’t here yet. Why are they late? Don’t they know that if they miss the opening, they might not be able to enter?"

Qin Wushang, who had been looking toward Ming Yue, glanced at him.

"I don’t know. They are your friends. How am I supposed to know?"

Mu Shaobei rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything else.

The flying ship slowly came closer.

Then, just as everyone was wondering if it would land, the huge ship suddenly disappeared.

Seven figures appeared in the sky.

Mu Shaobei’s eyes widened.

"That’s Mo Yuan! and my sister and Bai Ningning!"

His voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The cultivators below looked toward the sky and were stunned.

"Seven people?"

"Why are they coming with the Sovereign Realm seniors?"

"Wait, isn’t that Mo Yuan?"

Ming Yue also looked toward the sky.

Seeing Mu Qingying and Bai Ningning beside Mo Yuan, she wasn’t too surprised. They were both connected to Sovereign realm cultvator, so it made sense for them to receive special treatment.

But Mo Yuan was different.

’He is actually going with them too.’

Ming Yue clenched her fists slightly.

’This is what talent and strength can bring.’

At that moment, the seven figures began descending.

David had been controlling their bodies with his Origin Sense but as they approached the ground, he released his control.

Mo Yuan landed softly on the ground beside Mu Qingying and Bai Ningning.

He looked around at the gathered cultivators.

There were many familiar faces but his eyes soon stopped on the young man standing beside Mu Shaobei.

The young man was around six feet tall with black hair and a handsome appearance. A sword hung from his waist and his aura was restrained.

Mo Yuan immediately activated his Copy and Paste talent.

Soon, information appeared in his mind.

Human: Qin Wushang

Cultivation Talent: Ultimate Grade

Berserker Talent: Peak Grade

Sword Talent: Peak Grade

Mo Yuan wasn’t surprised.

He had already read about Qin Wushang when he first arrived at Cang Lan Base.

’The Berserker Talent should be the reason he can increase his strength by fifteen times.’

Mo Yuan looked at him carefully.

’And he should also have some sword technique that can increase his strength further.’

However, Mo Yuan wasn’t completely sure about the exact multiplier.

In the information he has read and it said 3x but he wasn’t sure that it was true.

’Interesting.’

Mo Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

At the same time, Qin Wushang was also looking directly at him.

The two geniuses silently looked at each other for a moment.
