Free Web NovelChapter 1713: Chapter 1581: Emperor’s Secret Realm
Central Domain, vast land, boundless and immense, with undeveloped primordial forests everywhere, it’s common not to see a trace of humanity for tens of thousands of miles.
In the deep mountains of the southern Central Domain, apes cry and tigers roar, cranes screech and wolves howl, presenting a wilderness scene, vines twisting like dragons, the dense forest overshadowing the sky.
At the center of this wilderness region, a tall building towers into the clouds, an immense academy adorning this wilderness.
Here is the Imperial Academy, renowned alongside the Immortal Academy, occupying a vast area, with several low mountains included within the academy’s range, comparable to a city.
Outside the academy are several Dragon Veins, winding and twisting, seeming ready to take flight, appearing extraordinarily majestic and splendid.
Within the academy, there is a massive square that can accommodate thousands without feeling crowded, a place for the daily activities of the Imperial Academy disciples.
At this moment, the entire square is quiet, not a single figure, emphasizing tranquility.
Suddenly, the void above the square split open, and Ye Fan, along with ten others, under the guidance of Seng Dao Yan and the Old Bastard, stepped out from the void, descending onto the square.
After Seng Dao Yan announced that the selected ten could cultivate in the Emperor’s Secret Realm for a year, without any delay, they immediately used the Transmission Array Platform of the Yuehua Dynasty to teleport them to the Imperial Academy.
Thinking about entering the Emperor’s Secret Realm, it must be through the unique Transmission Array Platform of the Imperial Academy, which also prevented others from secretly entering.
Under the guidance of Seng Dao Yan, Ye Fan and his group arrived at the Transmission Hall of the Imperial Academy.
This is a magnificent building, with each stone pillar thick enough for several people to encircle, making people walking inside the hall feel exceptionally spacious.
Inside the Transmission Hall, there are platforms for transmission arrays, marked with their destinations, similar to those in the Immortal Academy.
Among these transmission platforms, Ye Fan immediately spotted the one leading to the Emperor’s Secret Realm.
Because it was too special, not only much larger than the other platforms but also inscribed with many ghost talisman-like, non-character symbols, appearing ancient and grand.
The Old Bastard, as the head of the Immortal Academy, is not qualified to enter the Emperor’s Secret Realm, just as Seng Dao Yan is not qualified to enter the Immortal Secret Realm.
These are the heritages of an academy, which must not be known to outsiders, nor can they be allowed entry.
Thus, after entering the hall, the Old Bastard stopped, accompanied by the vice-principal of the Imperial Academy.
While Ye Fan and the ten others, under the guidance of Seng Dao Yan, ascended the transmission array platform, once the platform was activated, a light encompassed the entire platform, including everyone on it.
In the void, there is no concept of time; it seems to have stopped, perhaps it was a long time, or just a moment, as the void split open, and Ye Fan and others stepped out from the void.
Upon stepping out of the void, Ye Fan immediately felt the difference in this heaven and earth, not only was the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi much richer, but various elements were also abundant, at least twice as abundant as in other places.
"Welcome, young talents, to the Emperor’s Secret Realm."
Seng Dao Yan smilingly introduced some knowledge about the Emperor’s Secret Realm, which astonished everyone.
It turns out, the Emperor’s Secret Realm was indeed left by the Great Emperor, although Seng Dao Yan did not specify which Great Emperor it was.
Moreover, this space, though left by the Great Emperor, wasn’t created by him but existed as a realm before him.
Back then, the Great Emperor discovered it and used it as his place for seclusion until he passed away through Transformation, and this space was left to the Imperial Academy.
With the arrangement of the Great Emperor, this space is very vast, definitely a holy land for cultivation, with the inspiration left by the Transformation of the Great Emperor.
The entire Emperor’s Secret Realm is roughly divided into three major areas. Firstly, there is the Emperor Hall, which contains all the records of Great Emperors throughout history, cultivation notes, and warnings for future generations.
This area draws attention from all Di Clan members, as obtaining the cultivation insights and warnings left by their ancestors is definitely a great gain.
The second area is the Elemental Ocean, with a larger area, divided into eight parts corresponding to eight elements. Cultivators can enter the Elemental Ocean to cultivate, gaining insights into the essence and laws of various elements.
This is a precious legacy left by the Great Emperors and one of the strongest heritages of the Imperial Academy!
Previously, in every contest between the Immortal Academy and Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy always managed to suppress the Immortal Academy, thanks in no small part to the Elemental Ocean.
For cultivators, especially those at the Divine Power Realm, understanding the essence and laws of various elements is of immense help for breaking through to the Lord Realm.
Meanwhile, for those already in the Lord Realm, it’s also an indispensable way to enhance strength. The more Elemental Laws one comprehends, the stronger the cultivator becomes; it’s entirely proportional.
Thus, the Elemental Ocean is the most cherished place for everyone; comprehending one more Elemental Law elevates one’s status.
Generally speaking, for ordinary cultivators, each can only comprehend the laws of one element, as they have already set their direction at the Divine Power Realm.
However, for those Demon Level geniuses, there’s a certain likelihood of comprehending the laws of two elements, although it has never occurred and only theoretically possible.
The last area is a Trial Arena, containing a large number of Lord Realm Xuan Beasts, including descendants of the Demon Kings, but they have already perished, leaving an undying remnant thought gathered by the Great Emperor, controlled by a Supreme Array Formation.
If cultivators wish to undertake the trial, they must first notify the Imperial Academy’s guardian formation teacher, who will activate the formation using secret techniques, allowing them to witness the peak combat power of the Xuan Beasts.
Of course, these Xuan Beasts cannot continue to grow stronger; they can only serve as puppet-like tools for the Academy’s disciples to use for trials.
Even so, a Xuan Beast at the lord realm, even at the early lord realm, possessing peak combat power is not something ordinary cultivators can defeat.
Besides these Xuan Beasts, there are also a few human-shaped creatures, naturally eternal remnants, cleverly utilized by the Great Emperor as tools for trials.
"The Ancient Emperor is indeed formidable!"
Upon learning this, Ye Fan could only marvel at the Great Emperor’s grandeur. An entire space being organized into such an orderly holy land could only be accomplished by the Great Emperor.
The three emperors’ sons showed no surprise, as to them, such methods from any Great Emperor were quite commonplace.
Having witnessed the unrivaled grace of a Great Emperor firsthand, they naturally regarded such legends without skepticism or astonishment.
"Country bumpkin!"
Seeing Ye Fan’s astonished look, the Ancient Immortal coldly mocked.
"I may be a country bumpkin, but I can humble you like a dog in the same realm," Ye Fan retorted mercilessly.
"You..."
The Ancient Immortal was infuriated, as this was the last thing he wanted to bring up, yet Ye Fan mentioned it publicly, fueling his anger.
"Enough!"
Seng Dao Yan shouted firmly, "From this moment onwards, you are partners, allies against the adversary. I don’t want to see any internal disputes happening."
Seng Dao Yan’s strong intervention left the Ancient Immortal without an excuse to act, forcing him to glare at Ye Fan with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
Ye Fan was unfazed, believing that every inch of this space was closely monitored by the Imperial Academy, making it impossible for the Ancient Immortal to attack him.
The Emperor’s Secret Realm is vast, and although they were already in this space, it would still take a while to fly to the Emperor Hall.
Along the way, Ye Fan noticed that the entire land in this area had a very complex color scheme, with any conceivable color present, none of them occupying a large area, and no buffer between two colors, seemingly forcefully pieced together.
This discovery made Ye Fan very curious; typically, soil colors are limited to hues like yellow, red, black, and brown, with transitional colors in between, but here there were absolutely no transitional colors, appearing particularly bizarre.
It wasn’t just the colors; the crucial aspect was that every color seemed meticulously arranged.
Could it be some kind of formation?
Ye Fan was shocked internally. If the entire Emperor’s Secret Realm was arranged as such, that would be a grand gesture.
Flying rapidly for a quarter of an hour, the mountains and earth retreated quickly beneath their feet, the wind making their garments whip loudly, and everyone’s hair streamed back, looking ethereal like immortals.
Having learned the general layout of the Emperor’s Secret Realm, each pondered their cultivation plans in the coming year.
As the most suitable holy land for cultivators, the speed of cultivation within the Emperor’s Secret Realm was unquestionably faster than outside, requiring everyone to focus on their own priorities.
Ye Fan was no exception, having decided upon discovering the Elemental Ocean to delve into the essence and laws of elements, prepping for the breakthrough to the lord realm.
Previously, at the Immortal Academy, he had cultivated to the peak of the Divine Power Realm but kept failing to break through to the lord realm, indicating an underlying reason.
Upon learning that the comprehension of elemental laws is key to breaking through, it dawned on him; he lacked not power nor opportunity but insights into elemental laws.
If he could grasp the elemental laws, he would swiftly break through to the lord realm, ready to battle anyone, even taking on the unrestricted Ancient Immortal with confidence in victory.
"Ahead lies the Emperor Hall. Before delving into cultivation, review the insights and warnings left by past emperors; it will undoubtedly be beneficial." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
As Seng Dao Yan’s voice reached them, Ye Fan and others saw a majestic ancient building emerge on the horizon, resembling the archetype of an ancient palace.
"I have other affairs, so I shall not personally guide you further. If you have questions, consult the teachers here for assistance in your cultivation and learning."
Landing before the Emperor Hall, Seng Dao Yan gave brief instructions before departing, leaving a white-haired old teacher to open the hall’s entryway.
"All insight manuscripts and warnings are on the walls and steles. Explore them yourselves. Should you have questions, ask me, for I cannot enter..."
The white-haired old teacher provided Ye Fan and his peers with a concise briefing on the Emperor Hall and then fell silent, reclining on a chair to rest his eyes.
