The Story Never Ends

"What\'s happening today? Did a powerful devil attack the sect?" Davion thought while looking at the sky from his courtyard. But nothing happened afterward except for the defensive formation.

"Is this it?" Davion felt disappointed as he was already imagining fighting powerful devils and earning a lot of experience points.

"Haiz, how could I even think about that? Only a fool would dare to attack the sect so openly." He shook his head.

"Now thinking about the experience points, I have to find some ways to obtain them." Although he had been killing devils these days, they were not strong enough to provide him with sufficient experience points. So, he was feeling a bit down these days.

"Maybe the Secret Realm is the key?" He was about to return to his room when all of a sudden, he sensed someone outside his dome.

"Why is she here?" Davion sighed. He knew that they would be meeting someday, but he still found it too early.

"Let\'s see why she\'s here." He went outside and before she could call him out, he created a gap in the formation for her to enter.

"Oh! It seems like he has already seen me." Leyla exclaimed and went inside.

After walking a few meters, she saw a handsome young man standing there with his hands behind his back.

"Girl, who might you be?" He asked while altering his voice a little.

"You.." She didn\'t know how to react. This was the same expression that Stella and her friends had made when they saw his new look a week ago. They thought that he was a completely different person.

"Girl," he called her again as she didn\'t reply to him.

"Humph, don\'t act like you don\'t know me," She finally answered and then seized him up from top to bottom.

"He looks somewhat similar but different at the same time too." She thought. In her memories, that man didn\'t look this childish. However, her instinct told her that he was the same person.

"Maybe he disguised himself…" she murmured since it was not uncommon to change one\'s look in the cultivation world.

"I really don\'t know you," he said.

"Humph, keep on acting. But I will not get fooled this time. Do you think that I would forget what you did in the Wild Northern Forest?" She put her hands on her hips and had a cold look on her face. She knew that he had a shameless character.

"You must be mistaken," he denied it.

"Hehe, then how will you explain that dragon?" She observed his expression carefully.

"Oh! So, you are her daughter." He exclaimed and said, "Look."

He raised his right hand and lightning flashed around it.

Leyla had her mouth wide open.

"The person you have been mentioning should be my elder brother as I was born with a lightning-based spiritual root, unlike his dark spiritual root." He explained and put his hand down.

"I…" She became speechless when she heard this. She felt that this was also a possibility.

"Hehe, little girl, you are too naïve." He was chuckling inside. He himself couldn\'t believe that he could fool her this easily.

Then he gave a warm smile and suggested, "I think you can introduce yourself now."

"I\'m Leyla, an inner court disciple," she replied and gave a forced smile. Her mind was in a mess right now.

"Pretty name. So, do I have to introduce myself?" He asked.

"No. My mom has already told me about you," she said.

"I understand. Then why are you here? Is it for the Secret Realm?" He questioned.

She was about to reply when all of a sudden, a thunderous voice resounded through the air.

"All the inner court disciples are requested to gather in the mission hall in fifteen minutes."

The two looked at each other and nodded their heads. Then they proceeded towards the peaks. Along the way, Davion didn\'t speak a word in case he might reveal something and the same goes for Leyla as she had various thoughts in her mind. Not only that, she would even frequently glance at Davion and it looked like she wanted to ask him something. But she didn\'t know where to start. Thus, the atmosphere became awkward.

But it didn\'t last long as they saw a huge bird flying above them. The bird descended ahead of them and a young girl could be seen jumping out from the top of its head.

The surrounding disciples immediately became excited when they saw her.

"It is Senior Sister Nora."

"She seems to be more beautiful than ever."

"Humph, how can you doubt her beauty?"

"Of course not. I mean to say that she appears to be much more beautiful after reaching the middle stage of the Golden Core State."

"She is a genius. I heard that she only took 20 years to reach here."

"Haiz, here I am still stuck in the early stage of the Golden Core Stage for 50 years."

Seeing this Davion finally spoke. "She seems to be very popular."

"Yes," Leyla agreed. However, she looked displeased.

"Why is it so? I can even see some disciples far stronger than her bootlicking her." Davion was confused.

"Humph, it\'s all because of her background. Her father is one of the elders of the sect and her mother is even more terrifying," she looked solemn when talking about this.

"Who?" Davion was interested.

"The Sect Master of the Demonic Beast Sect."

"My God! And I thought that you were a big shot…" Davion became shocked when he heard this.

"You..." she became furious with what he said. Didn\'t he mean that Nora was far better than her?

"Eh! Did I say something wrong?" He muttered.

"What if she has a strong background? She is still far from being my match." She scoffed.

"Is that so?" He cast her a dubious glance.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don\'t you believe me?" She was getting annoyed.

"Yes, yes. If not her for her backings, how could she be compared to you? You are stronger and far more beautiful than her in my eyes." He agreed and started praising her.

"Stop." She shyly said and turned in the other direction. One could see a sweet smile on her face right now.

"Wew, it should be good now," he thought and glanced ahead. He saw Nora approaching them.

"Oh! Isn\'t this Leyla?" Nora smiled after nearing them.

Leyla\'s expression immediately changed when she heard her voice. She knew that Nora would be coming for her after she saw her mount and was prepared. But she still found it irritating.

Thus, she coldly asked. "What do you want?"

"Why are you always so harsh on me, Leyla? What have I done to you?" Nora covered her face and produced some sobbing noises.

"Wu…wu…"

"Damn, how dare she make our Senior Sister cry?"

One of the disciples shouted.

"Yeah, who does she think she is?"

"Even if she might be the daughter of an elder, she cannot behave this atrociously."

The other disciples followed him and took Nora\'s side.

"I cannot believe that she could act this way. She looks even better than me." Davion looked at her with interest.

"Humph.." Leyla released her full cultivation base, and the disciples who were yelling instantly shut up. Then they backed away and started gossiping.

"She has also broken through."

"Yeah, she is also talented."

"So, are they going to duel now?"

Nora became shell-shocked when she felt this aura.

"Leyla, I\'ve underestimated you," Nora put down her hands and spoke.

"Are you scared?" Leyla mocked her.

"Don\'t get too cocky after breaking through Leyla. Not everything is about fighting." Nora smiled. But inwardly she was furious because she knew what she said was true. Indeed, she was a bit scared.

"Oh! Then what is it about? Is it acting to earn sympathy from others?" Leyla scoffed.

"Don\'t go too far, Leyla. I\'m talking about the Secret Realm," Nora yelled.

"Is it?" Leyla asked.

"Yes. Don\'t you know that it will open tomorrow?" This was the thing that she wanted to talk about in the first place.

"What?" The disciples were surprised when they heard this. The same goes for Davion and Leyla.

"Hehe, my dad notified me earlier. This is also why we were called to the mission hall." Nora explained.

"Is this the only thing that you wanted to say?" Leyla didn\'t go easy on her.

"Humph, don\'t you know that the opening of the Secret Realm is a bit different this time?" Nora said while pointing her finger upward.

They all looked at the sky and finally understood what was happening.

Seeing their expression, she said, "Not only that, but the Sect Master had concluded that there might be a great possibility of much rarer treasures of heavens and earth appearing in the Secret Realm than previously. Even a treasure useful to a Domain Realm cultivator might appear there."

"Sheesh…"

Everyone sucked in a cold breath and became delighted.. They felt that they could earn great benefits this time.
