Seeing all the participants entering, the powerful cultivators gradually dispersed as they return to deal with their own business. As the people outside the secret realm’s entrance gradually thins out, the young-looking man, Hong Lei eventually found a chance to interact with Li Yan.
“Dear, how about I guard the place with you?” Hong Lei asked with a gentle voice while trying to hug her, but the lady find the action really displeasing, especially when the man was just lasciviously touching young girls from the group he guided previously.
“There’s no need for you to exert so much effort Hong Lei, how about you return and deal with your important ‘businesses'” the lady answered as she avoids the arms of the man.
“Okay then, just be careful while you stay here, I don’t want to see anything happening to you…” Hong Lei said with a smile on his face before leaving, as he saw the woman’s two martial brothers approaching from the distance.
Giving her one last look, he clicked his tongue as he thought in displease, ‘Hmph, bitch, you think you can keep your high and mighty act, heh… sooner or later, your master will fall, and that’s the time when I offer you to that sir, hehehe, the sight will be quite beautiful to see, and that sir will also give me a chance to breakthrough after that.’
If the lady’s martial brothers, or her newfound lover were to hear of the young-looking man’s repugnant thoughts, they will not hesitate to wager their life just to pummel the face of the man.
After her ‘husband’ leaves, he senses two figures from the distance going towards her direction. Seeing two familiar figures approach her, the lady’s mood lightens and moves towards them with a smile on her face.
“Did something good happen for you to smile like that junior sister?” one of the figures, a fat man with an amiable smile asked.
“What else, she might’ve gotten to that young man’s good books, quite possibly even scoring some points with him” the other figure, an unkempt middle-aged man carrying a neat sword on his back said, his tone with a bit of teasing.
“Elder Brother Jianshen, how did you─” the lady, asking in panic as if someone caught her doing something bad was interrupted by the bald man once again.
“Come on Old Jian, why do you have to spoil the fun in observing junior sisters face when she’s lying to us?” the fat man complained to the other one in an annoyed voice.
“You’re the only one finding fun in that old buddha” the unkempt man answered before staring at his junior sister, before saying to her, “Seems like you develop good eyes, picking that young man and all”
The fat man nods hearing this statement, seemingly approving of their junior sister’s choice as well. “That kid is special, seeing his demeanor and all, not to mention the fact that we can’t see through the nature of his strength despite seeing through his cultivation”
“He’s also treating junior sister quite great” the unkempt man said smiling as he recalls his younger days with the fat man when watching the young man and his brother.
“Just be careful not to get caught, we can’t clash with Hong Lei yet”, the unkempt man left this message before proceeding to leave.
“Hey Old Jian wait for me!!” the fat man shouted as he smiles revealing his white teeth, also leaving behind words for her, “Whatever, since junior sister choose him, we two elder brothers support you”
Seeing the two of them gradually disappearing in the horizon, the lady smiles as she thought about how her secret lover is approved even by her elder brothers. Now she’s even more excited to enter the secret realm to meet up with him, impatiently waiting until all the other experts leave so that she could sneak in.

“Damn, how huge is this cave” meanwhile, a young man is complaining while walking around a giant passage inside a cave, illuminated by seemingly precious ores that he extracted from the cavern walls in a seemingly practiced manner through the masterful use of qi control techniques.
As he continues to walk around while shouting, numbers of Perfection state Core Formation Realm wild beasts are starting to approach him. Some of them are spiders the size of a house, snakes with venom capable of knocking down people with just its fumes and even some lizard-like reptile the size of a dinosaur. Sneakily getting closer towards him, the ‘hunters’ jumps with their eyes mocking as if they thought this ‘prey’ in front of them were bound to die from their might.
It wasn’t even a moment that passed when the situation was reversed, with the young man pulling a blade out of his spatial ring and swinging it, mysteriously cutting all the wild beast in half despite the blade not reaching them, the only clue as to how it happened is the distortion of space extending from the blade’s tip all towards the cave’s walls, leaving a deep cut in it.
“Every time I perform it, I still can’t believe how powerful space mastery is” the young man looks at the blade as the spatial distortion disappears, deciding to just tie the blade in his waist rather than carrying it in his spatial ring, before picking up the carcass of the wild beasts and storing it inside.
It has been a week since Wu Xiaotian entered the secret realm, during this time, he harvested quite a lot, ranging from ores that can be used to forge weapons at least in the core formation realm to beast cores and carcass that can be transformed to tools and cultivation pills and elixirs. The only complaint he has is that he never encountered any other people here, as well as he never knows how long he’s been here already if not for the fact that he partitions a portion of his mind just to count the seconds, adding a bit to his expenditure in mental energy.
It was not all bad though as except the fact that he can’t see anything other than stones often, this environment provides him with a good location to practice his techniques, given how strong the walls in majority of the cave are, in addition to this place being so obscured that he never encounters anyone else, he thought of it as a perfect opportunity to hone not only his fighting skills but also his entire martial skills.
So, during most of the time of the day, with exception to when he cultivates inside the Infinite Qi System, he had been practicing all of his techniques inside the Martial God Space, improving the synergy between his multiple techniques, the [Chaotic Order Weapon Art] not improving in progress but his [Drunken Dance] did.
[Drunken Dance (Self-derived, from 100+ movement techniques)]
[Info: An aggressive yet completely random movement technique that is more suitable for humiliating an opponent than anything else. The nasty style of the movement not only makes the user appear drunk but also makes their opponent appear wasted.]
[Note: NEVER use in a friendly fight]
[Progress: Perfection State]
This is the first time he had seen the system describe a technique like that, as even the trashiest techniques in the shop was described with their merits and demerits, not to mention the note as if stating concern, causing him to look forward to just what kind of mess this technique would create when he use it.
Finally, he also gradually masters the space powers and managed to create a technique out of it, and he thought that its power is so good that it might become a trump card when fighting cultivators stronger than him.
[Rend (Original)]
[Info: Solidifies space into a blade extending in a length dependent on the user’s cultivation level and mastery of space. The solidified space is undetectable by any kind of sense except for the visuals it produces by distorting the surrounding space.]
[Progress: Entry state (Capable of piercing through any opponent so long as their strength is a certain level below the user’s the comprehension of space)]
