Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 17: Gathering (2)

“Listen, Yang Wei, there are many other sects here and most of them aren’t friendly when we get inside the mystery realm.” Elder Jing whispered softly to Yang Wei when they got to their position.

“I understand Elder Jing. I’m not a soft head nor an idiot to believe we will all work together for the greater good.” Yang Wei replied while looking at the other people.

When Elder Jing saw Yang Wei was not lying and truly knows the situation they’re in, she nods her head as she starts explaining the crucial people.

“In the front with red cloth is the sect leader for Tyrant Lion Sect and they’re the closest sect in matching the Phoenix Sky Sect. He calls himself Pang Long as he thinks of himself as the dragon.” Elder Jing said to Yang Wei and reminded him to avoid their sect at all cost.

Yang Wei nodded lightly in acknowledgment as she continued to explain many other important people in this gathering of people.

As Elder Jing takes around 10-15 minutes to point out everyone for Yang Wei to memorize, the sect leader and also the father of Meng Yan, Meng Pao start to stand forward as he announced loudly.

“Hello every sect, as the sect leader and Emperor of this kingdom, I wish you all good luck to this mysterious realm. Remember, everything you obtain is through your own luck and no grudges are to be allowed. What happens inside the realm stays inside, meaning if a sect kills your sect member, you are not allowed to seek vengeance. Is that clear?”

Once Meng Pao finished his announcement, he released his aura to everyone below, to not only pressure them but to show his authority.

Those who defy his rules shall face the consequences of possible sect annihilation.

A moment of silence echoed through the crowd as no one had the guts to speak aloud.

“Haha, well said Emperor Meng Pao, we will definitely adhere to the rules no matter what.” Pang Long said laughing to break the silence but if others have eyes, they could see Pang Long has no regard for the emperor.

It wasn’t any news or surprise that Pang Long planned to make his sect become number 1 and overthrow the Phoenix Sky Sect. It was just that the timing and his power are not enough to do so.

Emperor Meng Pao didn’t bother with his attitude as he simply nodded and said, “All formation experts, please come up as we will open the mystery realm together.”

“Yes, your majesty.”

“It is our honor and duty to assist you.”

*Whoosh*

Every formation expert that is capable of unlocking the portal vanishes from their original position to be near the emperor as they start chanting and drawing multiple symbols.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei was looking at the formation expert works in hope of trying to learn something but couldn’t in the end.

‘Such inscription is too complicated and with my current knowledge, it is only a pipe dream to try and learn it secretly.’ Yang Wei wasn’t disappointed that he couldn’t comprehend a thing.

He doesn’t have any cheating ability besides his soul being a bit more powerful than others.

“Yang Wei, hold my hand as we enter the portal.” While Yang Wei was distracted, Elder Jing suddenly intervened.

“I understand.” Yang Wei didn’t misunderstand Elder Jing’s intention since he knew about the abnormality of this mysterious realm.

By holding hands, it means that they will not separate in case some turbulence occurred.

*Brrrrrrrrrn*

While Yang Wei and Elder Jing were talking, the formation experts managed to open the portal.

“Everyone good luck on your journey and remember, nothing is more important than your life.” Emperor Meng Pao shouted and everyone soon rushed to enter the portal.

However, only the lower and middle sect rushed inside as the top sect remained still for a while.

Elder Jing also didn’t move inside to enter so Yang Wei stood still to wait for her instruction.

‘Don’t believe what your naked eye sees.’ Yang Wei murmured slightly as he saw the situation as a bit awkward and weird.

Sure enough, after a while all the lower and some middle sect people who entered inside to try and get the good first started screaming.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh”

“No, I don’t want to die yet.”

“The Emperor didn’t mention that the portal has this kind of trap.”

That was the last sentence that everyone heard from the people who entered ahead.

It was a cruel and inhumane action since everyone remained nonchalant, almost like they expected this to happen.

“Hahahaha, these dummies who only have greed in their mind deserve it. If they check the surrounding first then even a fool would know that the beginning of the portal is the deadliest.” Pang Long laughed loudly when he heard their screams of agony.

Yang Wei could only shake his head and stay silent in this situation. ‘High-risk high reward and they risked on the wrong side. They could only blame themselves for having their greed overcome their logic.’

“Aren’t you scared a bit, Yang Wei? By the cruelty of the cultivation world where those who are invited are simply scapegoats?” Elder Jing turned her head around to look at Yang Wei and asked.

“Not one bit Elder Jing. You may look at me like any other youths but I’ve been through much worse than that.” Yang Wei calmly replies while showing a rare smile.

Elder Jing didn’t bother anymore but was a bit surprised to see Yang Wei smiling. ‘He couldn’t be a sadist right?’

“Ok, the portal has been stabilized thanks to some honorable people. Everyone can now enter safely.” Emperor Meng Pao announced loudly again and this time, there was no trap.

Everyone from the top sects rushed inside including Yang Wei’s sect as they scurry themselves to become first.

“Hehe, although we lost many people, there are still so many ants.” Pang Long laughed loudly when he saw the other sects competing against him.

It was a fortunate thing that anyone above the Nascent Soul realm could not enter otherwise, the whole realm could be conquered by a few individuals.

“Let’s go Yang Wei.” Elder Jing held Yang Wei’s hand as they headed inside the mystery realm.
