Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 159: Secret Realm Part 1

"So, what are we going to do now?" Inside a room, eleven youngsters sit in front of each other, on their own chairs. Hearing Chu Xieyi's words, Qin stood up and bowed in front of everyone.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for involving all of you in this mess. And, I will never forget the risks you took for me. I will definitely pay you back."

"Nobody wants you to pay back anything, Brother Qin. I feel quite better after releasing all of my strength against someone. These kinds of battles excite me a lot." Lan Ming raised his hand and spoke while shaking his head.

"Yeah, except for the fact that nobody fought me." Hearing his words, everyone nodded their heads but one person silently murmured with a sad expression on his face. This person other than Guo Yang.

"Don't worry, Brother Guo! We will get an opportunity to face stronger opponents in the future." Hearing his words, Guo Min raised his voice and cheered him up. But, the next moment, he got a deadly glare from Chu Xieyi who was telling him.

'I am supposed to cheer him up. Stay out of this, son of a bi*ch.'

Guo Min moved his head and shook a few times, thinking 'There is no she would say something like that. It must be my own imagination.'

But he does save that face on his mind so that he would be reminded of the most horrific thing he has ever seen.

"Still, nobody answered my question! What are we going to do now?" Chu Xieyi turned her head away and asked while staring at Qin.

Even Qin didn't know how to answer this. He only knows that the entire Tan Family has been locked down.

Creek!

"Ten of you will enter the Secret Realm hidden away by our ancestor." Suddenly, the door opened and a few people walked in. In the middle, there was a middle-aged man who had a muscular built body and a tall height, wearing a black dress.

He was other than Tan San, the family head. Next to him, there was a replicated version of Tan San except he looked a bit less old. And, at another site, there was an old man who was other than the Great Elder.

Seeing them coming, everyone else stood up and slightly bowed as a greeting.

"No need to be so formal! Everyone, I have some important to the announcement." Tan San stood in front of others alongside the Great Elder and Tan Ming and spoke. His words gained everyone's attention. He nodded his head and continued.

"As you already know, we can't go out for twenty days. That means all of you are stuck here. And, after twenty days, you would probably face the entire powerhouses of the Saitou Region. That would be something hard to face unless you improve your strength to another level."

"But, why are you helping us? I mean I can understand why you are helping Brother Qin. But, you could have ignored us and helped Brother Qin alone. So, what do you want from us?" Lan Ming raised his hand and spoke.

Tan San turned his eyes at Lan Ming and smiled "Are you sure we saved you because we want something from you?"

His question startled Lan Ming and pushed him to think for a moment. He opened his mouth but the words didn't come out. He just stayed silent and let Tan San continue.

"I know many of you won't believe us but we didn't save you to pay us back. In fact, we only saved you because you could help Qin during the battles and you were his friends as well. That's why we didn't leave you there."

"Of course, now there is nothing we can do more. We can only continue with the current plan."

"Plan? Is it helpful for us?" Zhao Tan raised his eyebrows and asked with surprise on his face.

"Yeah, it is helpful. Of course, it will be very dangerous as well. There are many things that I can't explain here. But, I will do my best to make you understand more about this situation."

"First, our Tan Family is not an ordinary family. Currently, we don't have such strength but we still have something to keep us safe and improve to the higher realm once again. In short, our Tan Family has a huge heritage but these heritages can't be accessed at ease."

"The Secret Realm that I just mentioned. It can only be accessed with immense resources. Our Tan Family will send ten of you inside the Secret Realm and let you gain more resources from there. Of course, this will be difficult and need extraordinary strength otherwise I would have sent my family juniors."

"Inside the Secret Realm, you can find an abundant amount of resources. So, we will be splitting the resources you obtain from the secret realm. Although you will be putting your life at risk, don't forget how much we have already paid off for you guys."

"Of course, you can also decline this offer and stay inside the Tan Family for twenty days without any worries. So, what do you think?"

"Umm! Senior, I am not sure if you are counting right. Even if you aren't counting Qiao Fu, there is still one more person in our group. Her name is Liu Bing." Guan Xing couldn't help but raise his hand and explain.

Hearing his words, Tan San's eyes shrunk as he turned his head at the great elder and asked "Why didn't you tell me there were eleven of them?"

"Sorry, I forgot about her. I didn't pay attention to her. By the way, where is she?" The Great Elder rubbed his cheek embarrassedly and asked.

"Uhh! Great Elder, she is standing just a few steps in front of you." Guan Xing couldn't help but point in front of the Great Elder.

"Woah! You were here the whole time?" Not only the great elder, but even Tan San was also shocked when his eyes finally saw her.

"Yeah, I was standing in front of you the whole time. Of course, there is no way you could have noticed me unless your soul power is strong." Liu Bing nodded her head and answered.

'My soul power is not strong. Hello! I was a Great Emperor before. Even though my cultivation has dropped, my senses are still fine. But, how is she able to hide her presence so well to the point I even forgot that she existed?'

'Is it some kind of physique?' The Great Elder asked himself in his mind. For a moment of time, he was frozen. But, his mind instantly woke up as soon as he heard Tan San's words.

"Ahem! The numbers don't matter that much. At least, increasing the number by one won't matter. So, the condition is still the same. If you want to improve, you will follow the rules. If you don't then, you can stay inside the family for twenty days."

Hearing his words, everyone stared at each other for a moment. Qin was ready to leave at any moment because he knew he can't escape from this one. But, others weren't ready yet. They were still confused about Tan Family's Secret Realm.

Lan Ming couldn't help but stand up and ask "Senior if you don't mind, can you tell us more about the Secret Realm? What kind of danger we could face? And, what kind of opportunity we might get?"

Hearing his questions, Tan San paused for a moment before he spoke "Alright, I will tell you. Secret Realm is the place where our ancestors used to stay and practice. This Secret Realm has three major dangers."

"Disaster Sites! Monster Beasts who hates humans very much! And, Tests of our ancestors! There are many disaster sites created by the cultivation of our ancestors. Some places have the river of magma while some mountains are completely frozen."

"You can even find islands floating in the sky and the hurricane you can't win against. Since the Secret Realm was abandoned many years ago, the monster beasts are trapped there for a long time. And, not to mention, these monster beasts are brought here by the ancestors to train their heirs and disciples."

"Most of these monster beasts were supposed to be the food for disciples. And, as for why they survived. Well, the qi inside the Secret Realm is said to be ten times denser than outside. This is an opportunity for you as well."

"And, the last is the test. It can be an opportunity. It can also be your demise. The reason they can be opportunities is that our ancestors were Great Emperors. And, this is also why it can be your demise. Because Will of the Great Emperor can't be shaken."

"As for other benefits, you can get many spiritual herbs and other heaven and earth treasures. These will boost your cultivations. We won't take anything you gain from ancestors' test but we want all of you to bring as many resources as you can."

"So, what do you think?"

At this moment, everyone was silent. Some stared at Tan San with awe while some were a little cautious. But, the most excited one was Qiao Fu. She couldn't help but ask.

"Qin, do you think if we dual cultivate inside the secret realm, our improvement will be a hundred times faster?"
