Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 102 : Are you a birdman?

Just as everyone was stunned at the sudden opening of the secret realm, the voice of the old man rang out in the ten-mile-wide area.

"The opportunity inside the 'Mystic Realm' is great, and the same could be said for the dangers inside. You will encounter life-threatening trials, fierce beasts above your cultivation level, and even opportunities that can kill you by a tiny mistake."

"So, think carefully before entering; you all still have the chance to give up by crushing the token. If you don't do this, you will be teleported inside the 'Mystic Realm' within a few breaths!"

"Remember, everyone will arrive at different locations and would not be able to leave the 'Mystic Realm' for thirty days, so be prepared!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the disciples outside and inside the mystic pond became stunned. However, no one crushed the wooden token as they understood this was a rare opportunity.

"Lan Ming, after entering, you should find Ye Chen and Li Mei; see if you can also meet with Wang Yiyi. It would be better if you all were together. Also, be careful after entering; there are many who will do anything for greed," Zhen Yunqi reminded with a serious look as she handed her escape talisman, location talisman, and such important things.

"Don't worry, sect master; I will be cautious and meet up with everyone first." Lan Ming replied with confidence.

She didn't worry too much since she had a protective inscription drawn on her body by Zhen Yunqi.

However, Jing Xiao, who had broken through the nascent soul realm and arrived here a week before, didn't know this. So, she gave her serious reminders of what she should be aware of.

While in response, Lan Ming nodded earnestly, knowing she was worried about her disciple Wang Yiyi.

Jing Xiao was, after all, not an inscription master, so Wang Yiyi doesn't have any serious protective majors, which could stop a lethal attack. Furthermore, Wang Yiyi was just a little girl; it would be easy to trick her, and since she hadn't taught her anything about killing, she was worried about her mental state.

"Hiss! Brother Chen is really mighty; he can open a secret realm by just strolling inside?" Li Zhenyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath while bragging about how good friends he was with Ye Chen, who is the genius mentioned in the back of the token.

Although other disciples found his words infuriating, they knew that Ye Chen must have been the one who did something to open the secret realm.

Now many were curious about what he 'acquired' by doing this and what was the inheritance test the token was mentioning.

"Humph! I don't believe that Ye Chen had the ability to do this; it must be someone else! There are female disciples at the other lake, right? They must have triggered something; as for him, he must have died already," Zhu Dong stated with hatred.

Hearing his words, a lot of disciples wanted to nod, but looking at the rotting bodies of male disciples Ye Chen had killed three weeks before, they controlled themselves.

"Hehe, look who is talking big? A mere proclaimed genius who couldn't even reach past two hundred and eighty meters! Furthermore, you were the first one to exit the comprehension state between the top disciples, right? What a great talent you have," Li Zhenyuan spoke with disdain, after which he just ignored him and started to brag once again.

A little distance away from them stood Xue Feng and Qin Lian, who couldn't help but sigh and become eager to compete for inheritance with Ye Chen.

'This is a little troublesome, but it might not be bad since others will be here too,' Chang Bai thought to himself, his eyes flashing with unknown light.

As for Crown Prince Ji Feng, his gaze was fixed where Ye Chen had disappeared. There were many questions in his mind now, like what was the grade of Ye Chen's spiritual root and what kind of inheritance he wanted.

Swoosh!

Just as everyone was busy with their thoughts, the wooden token flashed with bright illuminance, and everyone who had dropped their blood on it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

Inside the mystic realm, thousands of bright orbs rained from the sky; some landed hundreds of miles away, while some at the distance of a mile.

One particular orb even landed on top of a towering cliff and transformed into Ye Chen, who assessed his surroundings first.

There was nothing special about where he teleported. He was just standing on the cliff, which gave him a wide view of the dense forest down there.

"The spiritual Qi is here dense and pure too; a pity that no one had time to cultivate here," Ye Chen muttered with a faint sigh as he found the quality of spiritual Qi better than on his main body.

However, he didn't brood over this, and just as he was about to decide in which direction he should go, a faint hum came from his hand.

Before he could react, a pure white pearl flew off fiercely, escaping in a certain direction.

The white pearl was none other than 'Emperor Void Pearl,' a treasure close to divine grade with an independent world inside it.

Ye Chen was stunned at how hastily it escaped; however, he didn't bother to give chase since he had more important things on his hands.

Such as saving his cute junior sister, who was going to encounter some trouble. At first, he had thought that someone might attack him on the way back to the sect, and it was when Li Mei would face danger.

However, with the mystic realm opening, he understood the danger she would face was here. Although it was not life-threatening, he still didn't want to see her get injured.

So, he didn't care about the pearl's escape for now and threw away the broken wristband, which held the emperor's void pearl before.

After this, he wasted no time and used divination art to figure out Li Mei's and others rough location as well as who will encounter the trouble.

Boom!

As soon as he was done with divination, his figure shot forward like a bullet heading in a certain direction.

"I… Am I going to die here?" The little girl Wang Yiyi muttered with sadness as she couldn't find any way to get out of the danger she was in.

Who knows if it was her luck that made her teleport beside a tier-5 herb, or was it bad luck because the herb was protected by the ninth stage of Qi-refining wolf?

She had no chance of escaping from the wolf since she was caught off guard. Fortunately, the wolf didn't use any lethal attack as it was afraid of destroying the herb; however, it didn't mean Wang Yiyi was safe.

Absolutely not, since behind her was a steep cliff, and the wolf had pushed her down. Fortunately, she managed to grasp a tree branch and was able to stop herself from falling to death.

However, it hadn't even been a few seconds when the dried branch started to break. To make matters worse, there were poisonous snakes on the walls of the cliff, so she couldn't get support there.

This left her with no option.

"Master… I am sorry the disciple can't reach your expectations," she spoke with a helpless look as she witnessed the branch failing to hold on for any longer.

Crack!

The next second, the branch of the tree broke, and Wang Yiyi closed her eyes firmly.

"So... this is death... it's quite warm, and... it doesn't look like I am falling," she said with a disheartened tone as if she were already dead.

"Little girl, death is not like this," Ye Chen spoke from behind as he grabbed her by the collar.

If he had been a little late, this little girl might have really died. Fortunately, he had mastered the Phoenix Sky Dance martial technique, so he was able to fly and save her.

"Bad guy? Even in death you are haunting me! You are really a bad guy! How good it would've been if you had died and not me!" Wang Yiyi lashed out with her eyes closed.

Hearing her words, Ye Chen almost loosened his grip.

"Little girl, is this how you treat people who saved your life?" He snorted with an unhappy look.

"Saved my life? I am dying here!" Wang Yiyi exclaimed angrily, and this time she opened her eyes only to see Ye Chen in front of her, grabbing the back of her collar like a cat.

"You—you have wings now! How could it be? Are you a birdman? Then where is your beak and peacock-like head?" She inquired with a dumbfounded look, her attention rather elsewhere than where it should be.

Now Ye Chen really wanted to let her fall, but he kept his cool.

"Just wait; I will deal with you later!" He rolled his eyes angrily.

After this he didn't wait for her response and grabbed her waist before flying off in another direction.
