Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 16: Gathering (1)

“Get up Yang Wei, today’s the day that we all gather at the mystery realm.” Elder Jing said when Yang Wei was still sleeping.

“Ngh,” Yang Wei struggled a bit before getting up slowly to dress himself up.

‘Ugh, what happened yesterday? My body feels so sore.’ Yang Wei mumbled softly when he felt like his body had no energy.

Usually, he always managed to wake up early and never needed anyone to wake him up but today, he required Elder Jing’s assistance to get up.

After dressing himself up, Yang Wei opened the door to go outside and saw Elder Jing wearing a different outfit.

‘Is that outfit dressed when Elder Jing is serious?’ Yang Wei asked inwardly when he noticed something different from her.

Almost like she was another person who emitted a strong aura of determination unlike the casual and happy Elder Jing when concocting a pill.

“Enough of your leering and follow me.” Elder Jing ignored Yang Wei’s curiosity as she started unsheathing her sword.

*Whoosh*

The sword that was unsheathe floated midair as Elder Jing jumped on top of it whereas Yang Wei was still in a dazed mood.

“Are you coming or not?” Elder Jing said irritatedly on how slow Yang Wei is today.

‘Did the spiritual qi that Yang Wei used up from yesterday did not recover? No, that’s impossible since I fed him a Qi Recovering Pill last night.” Elder Jing wondered in her mind about the abnormal behavior Yang Wei is acting.

“Sorry, I’m coming now.” Yang Wei shakes his head to stop overthinking himself as he hopped into the sword where Elder Jing is standing on.

“Ok, everyone has already left the mystery realm and we’re behind already so I will increase the speed.” When Elder Jing saw Yang Wei standing the sword, she explained that they were already late because Yang Wei wouldn’t wake up.

‘What a blunder to make him train when the mystery realm was going to open?’ Elder Jing sighed as she used her spiritual qi to control the sword to start flying toward the location.

*Swoosh*

Unexpected by the sudden speed, Yang Wei unconsciously held Elder Jing by the waist to control his balance.

“Gah, what are you doing with your hands?” Elder Jing shouted with a blush on her face.

“Uh, sorry, I didn’t mean to do it on purpose.” Yang Wei apologized before slowly letting go of her soft waist.

‘Such a smooth and slender waist.’ Yang Wei looked at his hand that touched her waist and praised inwardly.

Not willing to linger on this awkward situation, Elder Jing increased the speed of the sword to hurry their journey.

This time, Yang Wei was prepared to hold his ground and didn’t become unbalanced where he would have to touch Elder Jing inappropriately.

“Elder Jing, approximately how many people are entering this mystery realm.”

“At least over 100 people will enter this mystery realm and if it weren’t for the restriction where only Nascent Soul cultivators or below can enter. There would have been many more people entering.” Elder Jing replied to Yang Wei’s question while explaining the restriction.

‘Nascent Soul or blow cultivators huh. That is to say that Elder Jing’s cultivation realm is in the Nascent Soul.’ With just a little hint, Yang Wei was able to determine Elder Jing’s cultivation stage.

However, he remained ignorant about the fact that Elder Jing used to be in the Houtian stage.

Elder Jing didn’t bother to explain her situation to anyone and plan to keep everything to herself.

“About the restriction, is there any other information we know besides the limiting of a cultivator?” Yang Wei didn’t plan on prying into Elder Jing’s personal information so he enquired more about the mystery realm.

‘Being well-informed and prepared is always the key to survival.’

Yang Wei may not be strong but if he were to know about the terrain and rules of the mystery realm, it could be a crucial point in surviving.

“Honestly, nothing is known much about this mystery realm besides the restriction because it always changes. The mystery realm environment does not stay the same but is constantly changing.”

Elder Jing said in a solemn expression before continuing her words.

“The last time someone went inside, some people who went for the second time exclaimed in shock when they saw everything had changed. They thought that they could take advantage of the fact that they’ve been here before but it backfired completely. Aside from the restriction, every other rule is altered.”

‘All other rules are altered, meaning this mystery realm could possibly have someone as the mastermind.’ Yang Wei thought about the possibility of what could happen in the mystery realm.

“That is to say, there’s no way to fully prepare yourself as everything will be unexpected so we’ll just have to keep our guards up at all times right?” Yang Wei took a few moments before replying to Elder Jing.

“Smart kiddo, that’s exactly my meaning. We’ll have to be cautious at everything and don’t blindly believe in what our naked eyes see. Therefore, if you ever see some precious item, do not rush to get it and observe the surroundings first.” Elder Jing replied as she wanted to warn Yang Wei of any danger.

Yang Wei wanted to ask for more questions but couldn’t as they arrived at the gathering point where you can see so many people like ants.

As they’re up in the sky, it was difficult to see anyone’s face even with his new improved eyesight so Yang Wei just stood still as Elder Jing lower their altitude.

“Look, Elder Jing finally arrived with that new outer disciple.”

“Tch, to think we were all waiting for him. Does he think he’s some bigshot where he can come and go as he wishes?”

“Enough! We’re in the same sect and there are many other sects here. Don’t disgrace yourself and our sect’s image.” Sect leader Kong shouted aloud to stop the commotion of the disciples who were clearly displeased to know one of their entries was taken by Yang Wei.

Although Elder Jing and Yang Wei heard the discontent of the disciples, they ignored them as Elder Jing took the lead to greet the sect leader.

Yang Wei cupped his fist in respect as he greeted the sect leader after Elder Jing, “Greeting to the Sect Leader.”

When Yang Wei finished his greeting, he was surprised to see many other top sects and even the Phoenix Sky Sect was here. ‘Such a grand gathering, this will definitely turn into bloodshed soon.’
