Chapter 202: Hidden Scroll
The inside of the stone hut was almost completely empty outside of a small stone mat located in the corner of the room and a few simple pieces of furniture like a chair and table made out of stone.
The small stone mat was most likely used for cultivation, while the other furniture was used to make things inside of the small stone hut feel more homely. At least that was what Xuan Hao thought…
Looking around the small stone hut, there was nothing that really caught his eyes as he made his way into a small room located beside the area where the stone mat was laying.
Entering the room, Xuan Hao’s vision was instantly caught by a scroll in the corner of the stone huts backroom… Though it would be more precise to say that it was the only thing that caught Xuan Hao’s attention inside of the small backroom.
After all, there was nothing inside of it outside of the scroll laying in the corner of the backroom.
This alone was more than enough to make Xuan Hao curious as there was not really anything present inside of the small stone hut that could give him any idea as to who it had belonged to in the past or what purpose it might have served outside of a secluded area for someone to quietly cultivate.
Rustle~
Picking up the scroll and unfolding it, Xuan Hao’s eyes instantly focused on the large words written on the top of the scroll.
“W-what is this!?” Starring at the large words written on top of the scroll, Xuan Hao encountered a problem that he had never encountered before…
“I can’t read it…”
Simply put, the words were another language outside of the common language used throughout the Ewaria Continent…
This was not really something that Xuan Hao had expected to encounter, and he felt helpless as he could only stare blindly at the weird words on the scroll before putting it away in his interspatial ring. Maybe he would be able to understand it at some point in the future and find out what was written in it…
Roar!
As Xuan Hao just put away the scroll written in an unknown language, a loud roar suddenly echoed through the entire underground world as Xuan Hao suddenly felt himself tremble unconsciously upon encounter the vast and overwhelming aura followed by the roar.
“Domain Lord demon beast…” Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao quickly made his way outside of the small stone hut and moved in the opposite direction that the roar had come from.
The direction that the roar had come from was not the same place that Xuan Hao had come from, but was around the same general area, so by going in the opposite direction, Xuan Hao just had to continue his journey towards where the entrance of the secret realm would be located above.
The only difference would be the fact that he moved faster and tried his best avoid any possible encounter with the demon beasts that roamed the underground world of the secret realm.
ROAR!
Unfortunately for Xuan Hao, it seemed like the source of the roar was only getting closer and closer with each passing moment, even when Xuan Hao had already utilized his cultivation to the max to move towards the location that the entrance of the secret realm was located as quickly as possible at this point.
Even worse, the roars from the distance seemed to grow more and more enraged as Xuan Hao was able to pick up the sound of fighting in the distance.
Ah! Please don’t involve me! Can’t you guys go fighting somewhere else…?
Feeling the fluctuations of what he could only assume was several Domain Lords fighting the demon beast roaring loudly begin to close in on him, Xuan Hao felt like he might become an unfortunate bystander caught in the aftermath of the fight between Domain Lords if he was not fast enough.
…
A few hours earlier at the entrance to the secret realm where the people from the Sky Empire had just finished setting up their first line of defence surrounding it, a large shadow suddenly appeared in the air above as the people from the Sky Empire below all looking up in shock.
“The Onyx Empire…” Inside of the flying ship that had landed just beside the entrance to the secret realm, the general turned around and looked up at the banners swaying on the side of the large flying ship that had suddenly appeared above them with a dense killing intent brewing inside his eyes…
The Great Sky Empire and The Onyx Empire had long since been enemies with each other as they were located just next to each other and the only reason why they hadn’t ended up fighting an all-out war to destroy the other, was the fact that the other empires and powerful factions close by would be more than happy to take advantage of their fighting to swallow up some of their territories when they were weakened.
But this was not the main reason, as there was a well-known mountain range that covered the bordering area between both of the empires. The mountain range was not just any ordinary mountain range, but it had several demon beasts at the Soul Accension Realm hidden within!
This alone was more than enough to cause both empires to only stare at each other from afar as they patiently waited for an opportunity to launch a devastating attack on the other.
Of course, this was not to say that both empires did not fight with each other as both of them constantly secretly send people into each other’s territories to cause chaos.
The general of course knew about this and had long since known that the Onyx Empire would be one of the first groups of people to show up at the secret realm as it was located close to their border with the Onyx Empire…

Please help! Need ideas for name suggestions for privilege tiers, no idea what to call them. The few ideas I have for now are something that has to do with cultivation, like mortal-earth-heaven tier or something like outer disciple, inner disciple, core disciple and so on. The last thing I have is to just call them fluffy rabbits, fluff ball-fluffy rabbit- fluffy wolf and so on… No idea what to do with the naming, that is why I’m asking here for help with suggestions! XD
