Chapter 153 Ch-153: Entrance Appears(1)

A few days later, early in the morning, Wang Ming found himself a few kilometers from Ebonheart city, navigating a mountainous area. This region was home to powerful beasts in the Golden Core Realm, deterring most cultivators from venturing into its depths. However, the allure of hidden treasures occasionally led some foolish individuals to their demise.

Wang Ming’s path was obstructed by a menacing mantis-like beast in the Core Formation Realm. Swiftly, he dispatched the creature with a single stroke of his sword. Continuing on his journey, he aimed for the supposed entrance to a secret realm, yet struggled to pinpoint its exact location. Fortunately, this area proved to be relatively safe, with fewer formidable beasts in sight.

“System, can’t you pinpoint the area?” Wang Ming inquired calmly.

[System Message: Yes, but it would take some time. It is useless; only a minute remains before the secret realm entrance appears. It is advised that the host remains patient.]

The system advised Wang Ming to wait patiently to which he obliged, he had noticed during the past few days that it wasn’t teasing him as much as before.

While waiting, Wang Ming opened the quest and reviewed it once more 

[Quest: Secret Realm Opening]

[Description: A secret Realm will be opening near the Ebonheart City of the Black Bamboo Empire in about a week’s time and will remain open for 3 days. Go visit the secret and complete the following tasks:

1. Kill 100 Foundation Realm beasts or Cultivators.

2. Kill 50 Core Formation beasts or Cultivators.

3. Kill 10 Golden Core Beasts or Cultivators.

4. Kill 1 Pure Core Realm Beast or Cultivator.

]

[Time limit: 3 days]

[Rewards: The pill recipe for a Pure Core Realm breakthrough pill]

Tremble 

As Wang Ming focused on the quest, the ground beneath his feet trembled violently. He sensed a surge in spiritual energy, a change not only noticed by him but by various forces around near the Ebonheart city.

[ Ding Dong ]

[ The Entrance to the secret realm has appeared ] 

Out of nowhere, a door the same size as a building materialized a few distance from Wang Ming’s current position, bathed in a red hue, and a beam of light shot into the sky. Recognizing this as the entrance, Wang Ming wasted no time. He hurried toward the gate, not wanting to be late, as he anticipated other forces would soon arrive. His guess proved correct; large families and sects were mobilizing their disciples, rushing towards the same location.

“I should enter immediately before the others arrive,” Wang Ming muttered while sprinting toward the entrance. As he spoke these words, the system sent him a message.

[System Message: Looks like I need to find a new host. Well, it cannot be helped, as my host will die very soon.]

Wang Ming, in the midst of his rush toward the gate, nearly stumbled. His mouth started twitching a bit as he read the message.

“What the hell do you mean, I will die soon?” Wang Ming asked urgently, pausing for a few seconds, anxiously awaiting a reply.

[System Message: Like I said, you will die if you rush to enter, and I have to find a new host.]

“My system, please explain properly. What do you mean?” Wang Ming asked, his eyebrows twitching in annoyance.

[System Message: Does the host see the red hue surrounding the entrance? It is a protection that prevents anyone from entering until it disappears. If someone tries to enter or makes contact while the red hue is still present, that person will turn into a blood mist. As the user is rushing to enter while the red hue is still present, the host will die, and the system has to find a new host.]

The system replied in a neutral tone, sending chills down his spine. His back was covered in cold sweat when he thought he was abut to die in such a stupid way, well he just reincarnated here so does not have knowledge about this world 

“System, is there anything else I need to know?” Wang Ming asked, calming himself down. He figured it was best to learn if there were any other important details.

[System Message: Yes, the time difference between the secret realm and the outside world is different. While it will be 3 days inside, the host will spend about 3 weeks inside the secret realm.]

“Oh,” Wang Ming exclaimed in surprise, thinking it was a good thing that he would have more time to complete his task. Moving forward, he finally arrived near the entrance. He also noticed a group of cultivators standing a few distances away from him, but he ignored them due to their low cultivation.

The cultivators on the other side noticed Wang Ming’s arrival, and some of their faces frowned.

“Boss, there’s someone here,” a skinny man with a pointed mouth said cautiously to the man in their midst.

“Idiot, we already noticed. Do you think we don’t have eyes?”

“No, boss, I’m trying to say that this gate seems to be of great importance. We should…” The man made a neck-slashing gesture, obviously suggesting they eliminate Wang Ming and claim the entrance for themselves.

The boss glanced at their group and observed all of them were at the Foundation Realm, while he was at the 6th stage of Core Formation Realm. He pondered for a brief second, but his face turned pale when he saw Wang Ming’s cultivation.

“Idiot, check his cultivation before speaking. You almost got us killed,” the boss whispered, and the group quickly checked Wang Ming’s cultivation. It was at the first stage of the Golden Core Realm, which Wang Ming suppressed. Their foreheads were covered in sweat when they noticed it 

“Hmm, a shame. I thought I was going to capture and make such a handsome man my toy,” one of the females in the group, dressed in revealing clothing, said lecherously.

“Forget it; let’s not cause unnecessary trouble. Do you think he’s the only one? More people will come, and we can’t hog the entrance to ourselves with our meager strength,” the boss said, and the others nodded their heads in agreement reluctantly.

Wang Ming, who overheard their conversation, smirked when he thought they were going to cause trouble with him. However, his excitement faded when he realized they had decided against it. Just because he is a Dual Cultivator it doesn’t mean that he does not like fitting, in reality he actually loves fighting when specially someone provokes him 

In just a few moments, both Wang Ming and the other group could sense powerful individuals arriving at their location.
