My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

After a sharp cry, Cheng Zhihai’s body shot directly into the Secret Realm.

Once again, the world around became a bit more silent all of a sudden.

Following Cheng Guang’s entry into the Secret Realm, everyone around the realm couldn’t wait to dash into its center.

After a burst of clamor had passed.

Around the Secret Realm, many powerful beings at the feet of the Sky-Men vanished in an instant.

Almost all the mighty ones had entered the Secret Realm.

Emperor Zhou watched the scenes within the Secret Realm below, his gaze constantly fixed on Cheng Guang’s figure inside, his icy face unchanging.

He had previously planned to dispose of Cheng Guang in the shadows, causing Duke Zhen’s Mansion to lose its heir. Even if they held great power, they would be like a tiger without its teeth, posing much less of a threat.

But now, he was somewhat surprised to see Cheng Guang taking the lead in entering the Secret Realm.

Knowing Cheng Guang as he did, Emperor Zhou knew that Cheng Guang was not one to act rashly.

If Cheng Guang dared to enter the Secret Realm alone, he must have his own assurances.

Yet, at this moment, Emperor Zhou was beset with new doubts.

The mere aura leaking from this Secret Realm was enough to improve his Sky-Man Cultivation Realm significantly, forecasting that the dangers within must not be underestimated.

What assurance could Cheng Guang have in facing such a Secret Realm?

Emperor Zhou’s gaze lingered on the entrance to the Secret Realm, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Apart from Emperor Zhou, the other Sky-Men present merely glanced over Cheng Guang before quickly shifting their attention away from him.

To Emperor Zhou, Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, might be very important, but to the Sky-Men from other dynasties or Clan Powers, he was an insignificant figure.

......

Within the Secret Realm.

After entering the Secret Realm, Cheng Guang found that the system mission referred to it as Five Daos Mountain, but in reality, it was composed not just of five peaks but rather dozens of mountains of various sizes.

These mountains were scattered in a picturesque order, resembling a three-dimensional landscape painting.

The first thing that greeted his eyes upon entering the Secret Realm was the dilapidated gate of a Daoist Temple, the purpleheart wood showing signs of age, it was unknown how many years it had stood there. As he approached, an ancient aura wafted towards him.

Cheng Guang carefully observed and found that although the Daoist temple gate had stood there through countless years, it was not covered in many cobwebs nor much dust.

It appeared as though someone regularly cleaned it.

On either side of the temple gate, two lines of poetry could be found.

With headwear as lofty as the five sacred mountains bright with golden greens, and a jade-colored scepter commanding rivers and mountains like crystal jade.

Robes hanging with the seven stars amidst flickering clouds, a waist encircled by the eight extremities with a shining treasure ring.

Before Cheng Guang could take a closer look, the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly arose from behind.

At the sound, Cheng Guang turned his head and upon spinning around discovered Cheng Zhihai who had closely followed after him.

As Cheng Zhihai entered the Secret Realm, he flew straight towards Cheng Guang. Arriving in front of Cheng Guang, and wearing a worried face, he originally wanted to scold Cheng Guang.

He wanted to reprimand Cheng Guang, saying things like how reckless he was acting. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back down.

Naturally doting on his child, Cheng Zhihai couldn’t bring himself to speak harshly. Upon reaching Cheng Guang, he took his arm, intending to walk back.

"Guanger, something isn’t right about this Secret Realm. It appeared only recently, yet it has attracted the mighty Sky-Men from kingdoms far and wide. It’s not a place for us to meddle in."

"With your grandfather still in North City, if anything were to happen to you here, I alone wouldn’t be able to protect you under the watchful eyes of numerous Sky-Men."

Cheng Guang smiled at Cheng Zhihai, "Don’t worry, Dad. This Secret Realm isn’t as dangerous as you imagine. Besides, risk and opportunity are equivalent. I have measures in my heart."

Cheng Zhihai involuntarily paused, nearly rolling his eyes. "I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. Come out with me."

Then, casting another glance toward Qin Beifeng who stood by Cheng Guang’s side, all respectful, Cheng Zhihai felt he couldn’t quite see through him. Qin Beifeng once attempted to assassinate his Guanger, and now he’s acting this respectful toward him.

Given that Qin Beifeng is a peak Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm expert, just one step away from a Sky-Man, even if he had been subjected to some schemes, his attitude couldn’t have changed so drastically.

Cheng Zhihai sighed and found himself unable to say anything to Qin Beifeng, "It’s one thing for Guanger to act recklessly, but you, Old Qin, why are you acting rashly along with him? You should’ve stopped him a bit."

Qin Beifeng laughed, spreading his hands in a helpless gesture, "I tried to stop him at first, but I couldn’t."

Adding to his previous words, Qin Beifeng said, "However, since the Princely Heir dares to enter this Secret Realm, he must have his reasons. I choose to trust the Princely Heir."

Cheng Zhihai looked surprised at those words, and at that moment, he suddenly heard something, casting his gaze toward the sky, toward the entrance of the Secret Realm.

He saw figures approaching from the distance, their fast-approaching whooshing sounds soon reaching near.

These were silhouettes, each radiating a formidable aura, all very powerful, and at a glance, almost none had a Cultivation Realm below the Sixth Grade.

Swarming in vast numbers from afar, they descended like a plague of flies approaching.
