The Secret of the Spiritual Realm

When the sun had completely set, Long Guan had just walked out of the alchemy hall. Without the presence of Yu Nuan and Yu Nuwa made Long Guan experience a bit of hassles during the day.

He did not think that today would be exhausting for him. But on the other hand he thought a little about Yu Nuan who was invisible for the whole day.

"Is he mad at me?" muttered Long Guan while covering his face with one of his palms. Long Guan looked a little thoughtful, then went back to neutralizing his thoughts.

From a distance Long Guan saw a disciple who had met him the first time Long Guan arrived at the Sect.

Senior Zao! yelled Long Guan calling the senior disciple.

"Junior Long Guan, you are getting more extraordinary" Zao Yang said after the distance between the two got closer.

"Haha.. Senior is overly complimenting" Long Guan said with a crisp laugh.

"Congratulations for your achievements representing the Sixth Hill to enter the competition" Zao Yang said with sparkling eyes.

Zao Yang was the first senior disciple Long Guan had ever faced while testing his abilities. Zao Yang believed that Long Guan would succeed in the competition, at least being able to enter the top five. Everyone knew that on this occasion each Sect gave rise to each of the outstanding geniuses, such as the Ice Phoenix Sect who had sent a recently famous female disciple the Ice Phoenix Goddess. In addition to the Ice Phoenix Goddess there is also a female disciple nicknamed the Cruel that is Zhishu.

"Thank you, senior" Long Guan said as he cupped his hands back to congratulation from Zao Yang.

Long Guan was not surprised to hear Zao Yang's remark, previously the Sect Leader had already informed him personally. The competition in question was commonly held once every ten years and was special to determine the strongest Sect in the Spiritual Realm.

During this time only the Eternal Peak Sect had always led and been the patron of Emperor Xia Bang. The Xia Empire which was the ruler of the Spiritual Realm was a single empire that governed the four great regions.

Each of its territories was led by a Governor-General who was the representative of each Sect. Just like the Star Sword Sect had a representative ruling in the Southern Region who was in the Zhenxun Capital.

That was why the news of Long Guan's marriage could get to the Sect quickly because there was a connection between the ruler of the Zhenxun Capital and the Star Sword Sect. Chan Hongli was one of the best graduates of the Star Sword Sect.

At the previous Inter Sect Competition he had obtained the Third rank, but his existence was the greatest disciple in the Star Sword Sect at that time. Now that ten years will soon change, the era of power change will also change.

The previous rebellion of the Wang family was due to the political contemplation of the power of the Spiritual Realm. If Azazil and the Darkness Sect did in a frontal manner, then the Wang family supported by one of the Elders of the Eternal Peak Sect made a very smooth move.

On his grand scheme, the Elder of the Eternal Peak Chang Gui would take on the role of mastering the Sect. After these two knots of power were overpowered, then overthrowing Emperor Xia Bang and becoming Emperor of the Spiritual Realm was a very easy path.

They had already planned for it in a period of nearly ten years, but Long Guan messed up for less than three months. It was inconceivable how Elder Chang Gui was resentful towards Long Guan who had destroyed his power in the Southern Region.

That was why at the next development, Great Elder Ang Bei was willing to go down the mountain to interfere in the affairs of the Sect. The evil scheme of the Wang Family and Elder Chang Gui had been known to Chan Hongli who was the younger brother of Chan Fan the Sword Sect's Chairman this time around.

In time, Long Guan would inevitably get involved with the Politics of power if he could become the best in the Inter Sect Competition. But unfortunately, until now Long Guan had not known about the power scheme in the Spiritual Realm.

Unlike his father-in-law Hung Quon, he and the Hung family saw great potential in Long Guan when they removed the Tang surname from the Zhenxun Capital. Unexpectedly, Hung Yin and Long Guan's relationship is impeccably imprinted in the marriage bond. So in the future the position of the Hung family in the South will be a central figure who has many pieces.

The existence of Hung Fei the son of the Hung family was originally considered as their luck, but Hung Fei was very difficult to direct. Hung Fei who was the teacher of Long Guan in the lower realms preferred to be a pure cultivator. Hung Fei's departure back then to the dimensional portal, made the other big families extremely scornful of the Hung family.

But the sky had another will, Long Guan's current existence had given rise to a wind of change, there were ripples of waves that would be created behind the silence of the Southern region. Long Guan who had gained full support then he would become a dark horse at the contestation performance in the Eternal Peak Sect.

Just one more week later the event will be held, today in the hall of the Star Sword Sect is preparing for the departure of ten disciples.

The distance between the Star Sword Sect and the Eternal Peak Sect was four days if using the Golden Eagle. The Star Sword Sect as the number three power in the spiritual realm had resources that were not comparable to the Eternal Peak Sect nor the Ice Phoenix Sect, either, therefore the competition between sects this time was also a struggle for resources for future development.

On Mount Puncak Abadi there is an ancestral heritage that is millions of years old, where there is a kind of island surrounded by a large lake and flanked by two canyons. There was also the deepest secret of the cultivators of the Spiritual Realm, this place was also the target of the power of the Darkness Sect before.

On the mountain of the Eternal Peak, buried the secret of the power of the Spiritual Realm. If this secret was revealed then it was certain that a new power would appear that was very terrifying but very coveted by the Celestial Cultivators. Those who are stuck in their bottleneck will exceed the limits if they only get the inheritance.

An ancient inheritance called the Crystal of Eternity. The crystal can penetrate the true power of the gods. If all this time they were only at the Heavenly level, then they would be at the next level namely the Eternal Stage, Soul Melting Stage and Return Stage. If they had mastered that level then they could feel in the Upper Realm which was the Sacred Domain.

The island was the true legacy of the Spiritual Realm, to enter it required four tokens held by each of the great Sects like the Star Sword Sect. It is said that there are also mythological animals tied by several pillars, these animals become sacred animals protective of the spiritual realm.

According to legend the animal was the personal mount of the previous Emperor of the Spiritual Realm, but the current Emperor Xia Bang was unable to conquer the mythological beast, and this of course lowers his prestige as a ruler.
