The Emperor's Secret Realm

Netherworld Demon Sect.

The figures of Mo Tianxiao and Nangong Wan appeared in front of a magnificent palace that stood as high as the heavens.

"Master, we have returned."

The two entered the palace and cupped their hands in a respectful greeting to the figure leaning back on the throne.

Yue Liuli was reclining on her chair, holding a wine flagon and pouring wine into her mouth. She looked completely indolent; one could not tell at all that she was a supreme expert.

However, Mo Tianxiao knew that this master of his, who looked peerlessly beautiful but cared nothing for her image, was an ultimate backer who was about to become a Great Emperor.

She was ridiculously overpowered.

"Wan'er, now that you have avenged your great enmity, you can cultivate in the sect with peace of mind. You do not need to worry about certain people coveting your Immortal Bone."

Yue Liuli's cold and clear voice rang out, leaving Mo Tianxiao somewhat baffled. Who exactly were these certain people? If you have the guts, just say the name!

"In two years, the Void Emperor Secret Realm will open. When the time comes, I will have Xiao Mozi take you there to seize some fortuitous encounters. That Void Emperor was also an Immortal Bone possessor in the past. Obtaining his inheritance will be greatly beneficial to your cultivation."

"Yes, Master." Nangong Wan nodded.

She wasn't clear about this Void Emperor Secret Realm, but with her senior brother going with her, there was nothing to worry about.

"Um... Master, if I remember correctly, the Void Emperor Secret Realm you mentioned is the Great Emperor's secret realm that opens once every hundred years, and only cultivators below the Tongxuan Realm are allowed to enter, right?"

Mo Tianxiao scratched his head and hastily asked.

According to his memories, it was a secret realm created by a Great Emperor specifically to find a successor. Inside, there was wealth left behind by the Great Emperor, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even Great Emperor cultivation techniques.

Even if one could not obtain the Great Emperor's inheritance, just getting a tiny fraction of the treasures left behind by the Great Emperor would be more than enough to gorge a low-level cultivator.

"What if it is?"

Yue Liuli raised her eyes to look at Mo Tianxiao. "Xiao Mozi, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao spoke cautiously,

"Master, most of the people who enter this secret realm are Soul Formation Realm cultivators. I am merely at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and Junior Sister Wan'er is currently only at the Golden Core Realm. It won't be just the two of us going, will it?"

Below the Tongxuan Realm was the Soul Formation Realm. In order to seize more resources in the Great Emperor's secret realm, most factions would send peak Soul Formation Realm cultivators.

Even rogue cultivators needed to have at least a Soul Formation cultivation base to dare enter. Otherwise, let alone finding fortuitous encounters, it was hard to say whether they could even survive.

After all, one could only rely on oneself inside the secret realm and could not summon their master. Wouldn't that be putting oneself in grave danger?

"For the sake of sustainable development, the number of slots to enter the Void Emperor Secret Realm each time is limited. Top-tier factions have three slots, while second-tier factions have two.

Aside from the thirty slots held by sect factions, the major dynasties combined have ten slots, and rogue cultivators combined have ten slots.

A total of fifty people will enter the secret realm.

As for our Netherworld Demon Sect, we have three slots. You and Wan'er will take two, and the remaining slot can be fought over by all the demon sect disciples, based entirely on their strength.

Therefore, aside from you two, there will be another disciple entering the secret realm with you in two years."

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao felt that things were not looking good. The two of them, noobs below the Soul Formation Realm, had actually pre-booked two slots. Wouldn't the other disciples bear a grudge against them?

One had to know that there were tens of thousands of disciples in the demon sect. He could be considered a genius, but that didn't mean there were no existences even more talented than him.

Moreover, Soul Formation cultivators who were hundreds or even a thousand years old were a dime a dozen in the demon sect. No matter how you looked at it, the selection shouldn't have fallen on the heads of their senior brother and junior sister duo, right?

"Master, I feel that Junior Sister and I are still young. It wouldn't be a bad idea to wait until the next century to go to this Void Emperor Secret Realm. Let's give this opportunity to other disciples."

Mo Tianxiao really did not want to go to some Void Emperor Secret Realm. Although there were many fortuitous encounters, he didn't need them at all! By relying on his system and slowly laying low, he could still become an Emperor or an Immortal.

If he were facing a Child of Destiny at the same level, he felt that provoking them a little wouldn't be a problem. But if he ran into a Child of Destiny with a higher cultivation base than his own, he absolutely had to stay as far away as possible.

According to the system, there were tens of thousands of Children of Destiny in this world. He had no idea how many Children of Destiny he would encounter in this Great Emperor's secret realm. What if these Children of Destiny found him an eyesore and decided to mess with him?

"The matter of the slots has already been decided and cannot be changed. Isn't there still two years before the secret realm opens?"

Yue Liuli glanced at Mo Tianxiao with her beautiful eyes, having completely confirmed his identity in her heart. He was absolutely the very same Mo Tianxiao who had abandoned her in her previous life.

His style of doing things was so familiar that it made her heart ache.

Whenever he met a powerful opponent, he only thought about running away, but when he encountered the weak, he would strike out with heavy blows. It was the typical behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Wan'er, do you have the confidence to break through to the Soul Formation Realm in two years?" Yue Liuli's gaze fell on Nangong Wan.

Hearing this, Nangong Wan thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "I am confident!"

Thinking about how she had broken through to the Golden Core Realm within just a year of stepping into cultivation, Nangong Wan naturally had confidence.

Beside her, Mo Tianxiao stared at her with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.

You have confidence, so you're so high and mighty, but what about me??

"Then the matter is settled. Xiao Mozi, I hope you can also smoothly break through to the Soul Formation Realm in two years. Otherwise, you'll just have to enter the Void Emperor Secret Realm with a Nascent Soul cultivation base."

Yue Liuli's tone left no room for refusal.

"Master~ Don't you know what level I'm at?"

Mo Tianxiao still wanted to try and salvage the situation. Asking him to break through to the Soul Formation Realm in two years—even if he used a cheat, he might not be that fast, right?

"Wan'er, you may head back first. I have some matters to instruct your senior brother on privately."

Yue Liuli ignored Mo Tianxiao and instead looked at Nangong Wan, telling her to return first.

"Yes, Master." Nangong Wan cupped her hands, turned around, and exited the main hall.

Mo Tianxiao suddenly felt that something was amiss. He just didn't want to go throw his life away; did that warrant a private talk?

"Master, I've figured it out. Since Master believes in me so much, I will definitely participate in the Void Emperor Secret Realm two years from now.

If Master has nothing else, your disciple will take his leave first."

Mo Tianxiao hastily cupped his hands, then turned around, preparing to run away.

"Halt."

Yue Liuli's voice rang out without the slightest fluctuation in tone, yet Mo Tianxiao stopped in his tracks, not daring to move an inch.

Turning around, Mo Tianxiao looked at Yue Liuli cautiously. "Master? Is there something else?"

For some reason, he felt somewhat resistant to being alone with his master.

Yue Liuli stood up and stepped forward on her long, slender legs, arriving in front of Mo Tianxiao. She reached out her pale arms and wrapped them around his neck. Her beautiful eyes stared intently at him, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a slight smile.

"Xiao Mozi, you seem to be very afraid of me? Are you hiding something from your Master?"

A waft of delicate fragrance assaulted his face. Looking at the beautiful master who was so close at hand, Mo Tianxiao gulped, his gaze subconsciously sweeping downward.

So white... so...

Wait, no!

Hastily withdrawing his gaze, Mo Tianxiao put on an innocent look. "What is Master saying? How could I possibly hide anything from you?"

"Master, you mentioned earlier that you had something to discuss with me..."

Yue Liuli suppressed the throbbing in her heart, withdrew her arms, and let go of Mo Tianxiao. "I just wanted to tell you to cultivate faster. Don't let your junior sister, a latecomer, surpass you. That would be embarrassing."

"Alright, you may go."

With a wave of a sleeve, Mo Tianxiao felt his vision spin. In the next instant, he found himself standing outside the grand hall.

"What the hell?"

Mo Tianxiao was completely baffled. His master was acting rather strange.
