The Yandere System in the World of Cultivation - Chapter 68

Chapter 68: The secret realm is revealed

Ming Xiao seemed to say it on purpose, smiling softly.

Although many people did not know Victor’s appearance, at least yet, his origins have long been known, and that the woman that he called little sister Mu, Mu Bing Yun, used to be his ex-fiancée.

Displeasure flashed in Mu Bing Yun’s eyes, she was surprised that the person she most admired and also dreamed of would suddenly drop such words on her. She was known as a disciple of the righteous sect, but Victor, her ex-fiancé, was the most terrifying demon for the righteous sects.

It was impossible to clean such a stain.

“If he does show up, I’ll be the first one to take his head!” – She answered briefly, and then she stepped aside and didn’t speak to anyone else, it was obvious that she was offended.

‘A bunch of idiots!’ Victor didn’t want to listen to any more of their pointless conversations, so he moved as far away from them as possible.

From their conversation, he found out a few things.

First, Ming Xiao absolutely had to be killed as well as Mu Bing Yun, who seemed to want to die too. He didn’t touch her before just because of Chu Yuechan, because he liked this mature, hot woman a little bit but now he has changed his mind.

If she really tries anything against him, he won’t hesitate to kill her.

The moment he first thought about murdering them, a message was heard in his head.

Ding!

[Master, a new task is available!]

[Ming Xiao courts death! Help him return to the yellow springs.]

[Reward ???, will be available after the quest’s fulfillment.]

Victor’s eyes lit up at that moment, the system clearly understood him and gave him such a surprisingly simple task that he already planned to do anyway.

***********

A few hours had passed and the pocket space was still closed, and many were impatient, beginning to wonder whether it would even open today, so Victor didn’t waste time and meditated all this time, occasionally taking a quick peek to check if it was open or not.

Just as he was about to close his eyes once again and return to meditation, a bright light suddenly illuminated the entire area near the dimensional pocket.

Ding! Don! Ding! Don!

At that moment the whole world seemed to stand still.

All over the world you could hear the sound of drums seemingly coming from heaven itself.

“This is…” Looking around, Victor noticed the unnatural expressions on the faces of the sect’s envoys, as if they themselves were encountering such a phenomenon for the first time.

At that moment, each and every cultivator gathered heard a voice in their heads.

[The ancient emperor is waiting for his heir, only a man of incomparable talent as well as an iron will will be qualified.]

[Only cultivators with at least a heavenly rank physique are allowed entry to the secret realm!]

After the words were finished, the spatial pocket was opened, but it was impossible to enter it yet, because a huge barrier was formed nearby in which an impressive stone stele could be spotted.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw, this was the first time this had ever happened, usually as soon as the dimensional pocket was opened anyone could enter it, but now only geniuses could enter it.

Disappointment and hatred was evident in many of the young cultivators’ faces, they had already given up all their hopes for an inheritance, but now it was truly impossible. The rules that the ancient emperor had established could not be broken and all they could do was to watch stupidly as the geniuses entered one by one.

Of course, it did not occur to everyone, many did not give up and still attempted to pass the test, but to their surprise the stele did not react at all as if they had not touched it.

Indeed, how could an ancient emperor leave a legacy to an ordinary useless man.

Unlike the losers, the cultivators with the heavenly physique were full of joy, they not only got rid of many competitors but were also excited, just from the demand for entry it was clear that the inheritance held in the secret realm was not a simple one.

As you know, the more difficult the rules and greater the risks, the greater the reward.

Victor was among the disappointed, he had not yet entered the spatial pocket but his identity would already be exposed, as soon as he touched the stele everyone would recognize him.

Victor rubbed his temples from the approaching headache; it was clear that not only the righteous and imperial sects would hinder him, but the demonic ones as well.

Who wanted an already horribly talented man to inherit the legacy of an ancient emperor?

Could he have been stopped at all after that?

As Victor began to approach the stone stele for the entrance he suddenly stopped narrowing his eyes and saw Mu Bing Yun slowly approaching the entrance.

‘Does she have a heavenly physique?’ Narrowing his eyes Victor thought, he was a little curious as to which group she belonged to, the geniuses or the misfits trying their luck to enter the secret realm.

She slowly walked over to the stele and touched it.

Boom! There was a rumbling sound.

[Physique of heavenly rank, allowed to enter the secret realm!]

After a huge inscription appeared on the stele with her physique, she was blinded by the light and disappeared.

Many cultivators screamed with jealousy, they couldn’t stand that a little girl was better than them.

But, Victor was shocked by a completely different situation, he looked at Ming Xiao, who froze like a stone at the sight of this.

‘So she was hiding her physique, huh?’ Victor grinned, it was no surprise, a wolf in sheep’s clothing was quite common and many cultivators purposely hid both their physique and base of cultivation, for safety and profit.

[Physique of heavenly rank, allowed to enter the secret realm!]

[Physique of heavenly rank, allowed to enter the secret realm!]

[Physique of heavenly rank, allowed to enter the secret realm!]

[…]

“Isn’t it rare?” Victor didn’t expect so many young cultivators to turn out with a heavenly physique; more than twenty of them had already entered, and it didn’t seem to be over yet.

[Physique of heavenly rank, allowed to enter the secret realm!]

At this moment a stronger sound than before was heard, the person who showed such a result was none other than Ming Xiao.

‘No wonder,’ thought Victor.

Only after almost everyone had entered the secret realm did Victor begin to approach the stele, he was the last one to enter it. He didn’t enter first for one reason only.

They won’t be able to recognize his identity if he enters last, the stele will show the result, but only people outside the spatial pocket will get to see him and that he entered the secret realm.
