Chapter 813: 813 - The Second Phase of the Cosmic Void Sect’s Secret Realm
"Very well."
The powerful voice of the Cosmic Void Sect’s leader echoed through the vast courtyard, reverberating off the jade columns.
The disciples, who until then had been chatting while casting unfriendly glances toward Qingyi, fell silent at once.
All eyes turned to the golden portal.
The sect leader advanced with steady steps, his robes billowing slightly as he took his place before the immense, gleaming structure.
"Today is a great day—the day we will finally begin the second phase of the Cosmic Void Sect’s secret realm."
"This is just one among thousands of cycles that have already passed, and millions that are yet to come."
"I know that many of the recent decisions have caused anxiety among you, and that is natural."
"But do not worry; those who were left behind will be rewarded, and our sect will rise to glories never before seen!"
Qingyi remained silent, his arms crossed over his chest.
For a brief moment, a shadow of suspicion flitted across his face, but it soon dissipated.
After all, such speeches were not unusual for a sect leader to make, especially following such a controversial decision.
The leader of the Cosmic Void Sect continued his speech for a few more minutes, and upon concluding, he stepped forward.
He raised his hand and infused a thread of Qi into the golden portal.
The structure glowed intensely, almost blinding those present, before opening with an explosion of energy.
A spatial rift resembling a wormhole appeared at its center, slowly spinning on its axis.
Qingyi took a step forward, intertwining his fingers with Rou’er’s and holding her hand firmly.
’System... what’s happening?’ he asked mentally, feeling the blood boil in his veins and his heart pounding faster than it should.
[Those are your draconic instincts. It’s natural that you haven’t gotten used to them yet.
They may mean something, or they may mean nothing. Instincts are irrational by nature. Proceed with caution.]
Qingyi nodded discreetly and approached the portal.
The moment he crossed the threshold, he sent Rou’er into the world of the mind.
Immediately, he relaxed.
He felt his body being swallowed by a spatial fold, the very universe before him transforming, compressing into a single point before expanding again.
His eyes closed reflexively, and when he opened them, he stood in the middle of a strange forest, surrounded by trees so tall they seemed to want to scratch the skies.
"It’s exactly as Xue Hua told me it would be," he murmured, casting his senses throughout the region as he looked around.
The secret realm stretched over a little more than a million square kilometers—a truly gigantic expanse—but Qingyi’s senses, already extremely keen, were not restricted within it.
A quick scan was enough to confirm that everything seemed normal.
Even when he activated his draconic eyes and examined every corner around him, he found nothing unusual in the arrays that sustained that world.
"Maybe I’m overthinking this?" he asked himself, taking a step forward.
That was, after all, the most reasonable explanation he could come up with.
Feeling much more relaxed than before, he soared into the skies, stopping just above the treetops before releasing Rou’er from the world of the mind.
The beauty was perfectly capable of flying on her own, but, naturally, she didn’t even think of doing so.
Instead, she clung to Qingyi’s body, her slender legs wrapping around his firm hips as she felt, with satisfaction, the young man’s large, calloused hands grab her plump thighs.
He squeezed, and his thick fingers sank deep into the lush, pillowy softness.
The warmth of her skin seeped through the thin fabric of her robe, teasing his hands with every faint shift of her body.
Rou’er let out a soft sigh, her cheeks flushing a delicate pink as she pressed her face against his firm chest, savoring every possessive squeeze.
"Hm... what are you waiting for, hubby? Shouldn’t we go straight to awakening my bloodline?" she asked in a sweet voice, her breath warm against his skin.
"Yes." He nodded.
He had already received all the sect’s instructions on where to go and how to activate Rou’er’s bloodline.
At the center of that realm stood a massive jade platform, and upon it rested the most powerful artifact ever created by the ancestor of the Cosmic Void Sect—responsible for awakening the bloodlines of hundreds of geniuses over the millennia.
Qingyi held Rou’er even more tightly against him, pinpointed the location in his mind, and shot off in that direction.
The space there was very delicate, so he preferred not to use his spatial Qi unless it was absolutely necessary.
He didn’t want to end up creating a spatial rift that would collapse into a black hole simply out of haste.
Celestial emperors could easily handle things like being at the core of a black hole, but he, coming from Earth and knowing his limits and the power of the singularity well, preferred not to push his luck.
Spatial rifts were, in fact, truly terrifying things.
In the end, even at top speed and with the powerful flight restriction weighing on his shoulders, it took Qingyi only about four hours to reach the central region of the secret realm.
His eyes landed on a jade platform, exactly as Xue Hua had described.
It was circular, approximately one hundred thousand square meters in size, and at its center, floating a few centimeters above the ground, was a crystalline orb.
He landed right in front of the orb, his face relaxed as he carefully removed Rou’er from his embrace.
Before letting her go completely, he brought his broad palm down in a pat against her full ass.
Rou’er let out a little squeal of surprise, her lips curling into a cute pout.
"Come on, weren’t you in a hurry to get back to Xue Hua? From what she told me, it’ll be over pretty quickly."
Rou’er nodded, reaching her hands toward the orb.
The very moment the tips of her fingers touched the smooth surface, her eyes snapped open, along with Qingyi’s.
A powerful surge of Qi spread throughout the area, causing the air to vibrate.
In the skies above them, characters began to appear, glowing with an ancient, golden light.
[Maiden of the Celestial Will.
The blessed daughter of the Celestial Will.
Granddaughter of the primordial empress of the Celestial Will.
The destined ruler of all the Primordials.
Eternal is her glory.
Absolute is her will.]
