143: So I'm not a waste physique?

After sending Mo Fan to the peak where the teleportation array was located, Mo Yingying flew away on her Flying Sword.

She was about to make a Breakthrough to the ninth level of the Transcendent Martial Artist Realm, so she needed to prepare.

Watching his daughter fly away on her Flying Sword, turning into a stream of light, Mo Fan felt complicated.

"So the future is this difficult, and I really am a short-lived ghost..."

He sighed.

Although he had guessed it long ago.

Now that it was confirmed, there was still some turmoil in his heart.

"It seems my previous decisions were all correct—"

Mo Fan lamented.

Because he had guessed some of it early on.

Even though he said he wanted to lay low.

He would still be impulsive and take risks at critical moments.

Whether it was saving Lin Yiyi.

Or the time he took the risk to pick the fire spirit fruit on Huilong Mountain.

If he had chosen to lay low, the situation would have been completely different.

In that case, his cultivation speed would not have been so fast.

Given his personality, if there hadn't been that invisible sense of crisis, he wouldn't even have gone to challenge the Trial Tower.

At most, he would have chosen the path of Alchemy, slowly accumulating Spirit Stones, and slowly grinding it out.

Anyway, he would be invincible in the end.

It would just take a little more time.

If he could get stronger steadily, why take risks?

What Mo Fan truly longed for was to hide in the academy, secretly getting stronger, and never leaving the Sect.

Waiting until he was invincible.

Only then would he go out and roam.

Although it would be a bit busy, at least it would be much safer, and the probability of him dying young would be low.

However, the reality was that he didn't have such conditions.

Time was not on his side.

If he slacked off even a little.

The tragedy of the future might happen again.

Although, according to the normal trajectory, there were still twenty-one years before the destruction crisis would appear.

However, ever since Mo Yingying had Transmigrated, the butterfly effect had already begun.

The light gate that was originally supposed to appear in twenty-one years might not necessarily do so now.

Last time, when the Demon Race attacked Yuxu Academy like they were crazy, Mo Fan had already started to become alert.

Now, combined with what his daughter said.

He felt that the timeline of the demon turmoil would very likely be advanced!

Since the timeline of the demon turmoil might be advanced!

Then the timeline of the light gate's arrival might also be advanced!

If he still regarded twenty-one years as the deadline, then when the disaster arrived early, the tragedy would happen again!

"I must get stronger as soon as possible—"

Exhaling a heavy breath of turbid air, Mo Fan turned and walked towards the Magic Array.

This was a barren mountain with sparse vegetation and grayish-white rocks everywhere.

The location of the teleportation array was on a flat piece of land at the top of the mountain that looked like it had been carved by a knife and axe.

At this moment, many people had already gathered in front of the teleportation array.

There were men and women, all with outstanding temperament and strong cultivation auras.

Every time a Secret Realm opened, some talented and potential-filled Inner Sect Disciples would be selected to enter, which was considered a benefit of the Sect.

Newly promoted Core Disciples were 100% guaranteed to get this Opportunity.

Other ordinary Inner Sect Disciples needed to go through strict screening and review to obtain a spot.

Moreover, the content of the review involved multiple dimensions, not just limited to cultivation and combat power.

...

As soon as he approached the teleportation array, Mo Fan noticed an unusual gaze.

Focusing his eyes, he saw Xie Siyuan, the Peak Master of Demon Slaying Peak, with a face full of resentment.

"Heh, you brat, you finally came!" Xie Siyuan said with a cold face, clearly displeased.

Mo Fan was startled, calmly checked the time, and found it was just on time.

But seeing Xie Siyuan's look, which seemed like he wanted to eat someone, Mo Fan could only smile awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, had something to do, came late!"

"Hmph, a boy obsessed with women!" Xie Siyuan muttered in a low voice, and without further ado, he directly operated the Cultivation Technique to slowly activate the teleportation array.

This time, it was his turn to activate the teleportation array.

With a swoosh, the square teleportation array, about two hundred square meters and built somewhat like an altar, slowly lit up.

At the same time, everyone curiously looked at Mo Fan, and started whispering in twos and threes.

"Is he also a Core Disciple?"

"Looking at Elder Xie's reaction, he should be..."

"Adding the previous two, there are actually three Core Disciples this time?"

"Terrifying, is Yuxu Academy about to rise? Three Core Disciples recruited in just a few months..."

"Isn't that right? It is said that when the Secret Realm opened before, basically only one Core Disciple participated, and it was even normal not to see a Core Disciple for several consecutive times!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's too hard to be promoted to a Core Disciple. With so many Inner Sect Disciples, the number of Core Disciples has always been stable at fifty or sixty..."

But soon, someone became puzzled.

"Uh, his cultivation aura seems... a bit weak? He definitely hasn't reached the Transcendent Realm yet. How did he get promoted to a Core Disciple?"

"Perhaps he has outstanding talent in other areas? Like Alchemy, Talisman making, Magic Array, Artifact Refining, etc.? Anyway, a Core Disciple cannot be simple; there must be something extraordinary!"

"Hmm, very likely. Envy, why am I just mediocre in every field?"

A group of people sighed and whispered.

Mo Fan had powerful Mental Energy and keen perception, so he could naturally hear them discussing him.

He didn't mind this.

Let them discuss.

As long as no one with a brain problem came out to provoke him just because his cultivation was weak.

Under Xie Siyuan's efforts, the mysterious energy between heaven and earth continued to gather, and the Magic Array became brighter and brighter, but it would still take a few minutes before it was fully activated.

Just then, two figures walked towards Mo Fan.

A man and a woman, both with extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance.

"Hello Junior Brother, are you the newly promoted Junior Brother Mo from Chixia Peak?" A tall man with a gun bag on his back spoke first.

Mo Fan habitually cast an Appraisal Technique.

Suddenly, the azure Virtual panel flashed, and the appraisal information appeared immediately.

【Wang Yang, a newly promoted Core Disciple of Cangyan Peak at Yuxu Academy, with fifth-level Transcendent cultivation, skilled in Alchemy, and a warm personality.】

From Cangyan Peak?

Not bad, not bad.

After coming out of the Secret Realm, it's about time to start learning more about Alchemy!

After all, earning Spirit Stones through Alchemy is the most reliable way!

Establishing a good relationship with this person might make it easier to sneakily learn things at Cangyan Peak in the future.

Just as Mo Fan was pondering, Wang Yang seemed to have thought of something and quickly said:

"Haha, I was so nervous I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wang Yang, and I was promoted to a Core Disciple three months ago. I am currently at Cangyan Peak."

Mo Fan smiled and replied: "Hello Senior Brother Wang, I am Mo Fan, who was promoted to a Core Disciple this month. I am currently at Chixia Peak."

Hearing Mo Fan's answer, Wang Yang's eyes flashed with deep envy.

In his view, being able to join Chixia Peak was like having good fortune for eight lifetimes!

They are all beauties!

The Peak Master is even a top-tier beauty!

It's simply a paradise on earth!

If he could go to Chixia Peak!

He would be willing to lose fifty years of his life!

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, just said seriously:

"Chixia Peak is good. Chixia Peak has outstanding people, Junior Brother will definitely have great achievements in the future!"

Mo Fan: "..."

You are being too insincere!

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is Junior Sister Gu, currently at Flowing Light Peak." Wang Yang looked at the woman beside him and introduced her.

"Hello Senior Sister Gu." Mo Fan smiled and greeted her, and at the same time cast an Appraisal Technique.

【Gu Shuiyue, a newly promoted Core Disciple of Flowing Light Peak at Yuxu Academy, with third-level Transcendent cultivation, keen perception, and extraordinary accomplishments in movement techniques.】

Flowing Light Peak?

Mo Fan focused slightly.

After all, it is a Legacy dug out of a Secret Realm.

Even for movement techniques, there must be something unique, right?

Maybe I can go to Flowing Light Peak to take a look in the future!

"Hello Junior Brother Mo~" Gu Shuiyue smiled sweetly, squinting her eyes as she looked at Mo Fan, unable to look away for a moment.

She was a girl, so she wasn't envious of Mo Fan going to Chixia Peak.

She just thought this Junior Brother in front of her was so handsome.

Such a handsome Junior Brother, in Chixia Peak where there are only women, must be very dangerous, right? Can he protect himself?

"Alright, the three of us are all Core Disciples, and now we know each other.

"Then we must support each other when we get to the Secret Realm and strive to gain more Opportunities!"

Wang Yang clenched his fist and said.

Hearing this, Gu Shuiyue immediately nodded, still looking at Mo Fan:

"Hmm, hmm, Junior Brother Mo, your cultivation is a little behind, so you can try to keep your distance from us.

"The Secret Realm is indeed not dangerous for Transcendent Martial Artists.

"But for Foundation Establishment Martial Artists, there is still some danger, so you must be more careful~"

"Thank you Senior Sister for the reminder." Mo Fan quickly thanked her.

"You're welcome, we are all fellow Disciples, we should support each other!

"By the way, it is very likely that we will be scattered when we are teleported in. Affected by the mysterious silver substance, communication equipment cannot be used, so we can leave signs to facilitate gathering!"

"That is indeed necessary." Wang Yang nodded and immediately mentioned a few simple symbols, using them to represent different meanings for easy contact.

The three of them memorized the symbols one by one.

"Okay, that's it for now. After teleporting in, gather as soon as possible!"

...

Before long, the teleportation array burst into dazzling light, and the space in that area began to look blurred and distorted.

Just then, Xie Siyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a loud voice:

"The teleportation array has been activated, everyone, come up!"

As the voice fell, the Disciples immediately focused and walked towards the teleportation array.

"The Secret Realm is very large and has many Opportunities. There are only thirty of you in total. It is fine to compete for good Opportunities, and it depends on your own abilities.

"However, using unscrupulous means is undesirable, and killing each other is a great taboo of the Academy!

"You are Martial Artists, if you want to fight hard, if you want to use tricks, go to the battlefield to kill demons!

"The Human Race has been able to multiply to this day because of unity!

"I won't say much more, take care of yourselves!

"Line up, come over one by one!

"The Secret Realm will be open for two months.

"After two months, you will be automatically teleported out and instantly return here, please seize the time!"

After speaking, Xie Siyuan stepped aside, leaving the center of the teleportation array open.

Everyone, with nervousness and anxiety, walked towards the center of the teleportation array one by one.

With a swoosh, a cyan light flashed, and the body of the first Disciple standing in the center of the teleportation array immediately dissipated and was teleported away.

"Next." Xie Siyuan said lightly.

"Here!" A Disciple responded and quickly walked into the center of the Magic Array.

With a swoosh, he also disappeared.

Then, one Disciple after another was teleported away.

"Let's go, let's go over too." Wang Yang greeted and walked towards the teleportation array.

"Hmm." Gu Shuiyue nodded and quickly followed.

Mo Fan focused and followed as well.

The three of them were in the back.

When it was Mo Fan's turn, only he and Xie Siyuan were left.

"Greetings Elder!"

Stepping onto the teleportation array, Mo Fan found that Xie Siyuan had been staring at him, so he had to salute him.

"When you wake up to reality, remember to come to Demon Slaying Peak to find me!" Xie Siyuan said seriously.

Mo Fan: "..."

So this guy is still thinking about this?

However, if he has time, it would be nice to go to Demon Slaying Peak to learn the Demon Slaying Record!

If this guy doesn't mind him getting it for free...

"Okay, Disciple will remember!" Mo Fan nodded solemnly.

"Not bad, you still have some awareness. The teleportation array is about to close, hurry up." Xie Siyuan reminded.

"Okay." Mo Fan focused and walked into the center of the teleportation array.

With a swoosh, the space distorted.

Mo Fan felt his vision blur, and when he recovered, he found himself in a new space.

A dilapidated village, as far as the eye could see, was all broken walls and ruins.

Dried-up streams, fields abandoned for who knows how many years, barren mountains and forests...

Everything he saw was desolate, without any vitality.

Mo Fan focused, his Mental Energy overflowing, covering the scenery in front of him.

【Ruins fallen into the dust of history, having gone through the changes of who knows how many epochs, hidden in the Void Realm, an existence between illusion and reality.】

Mo Fan: "???"

What the hell is this?

This was the first time he had seen such appraisal information.

How is it like a mystery?

Between illusion and reality... what does that mean?

Mo Fan was confused and could only narrow the range of his Mental Energy and cast an Appraisal Technique on the stone under his feet.

【An ordinary pebble that has existed for who knows how many epochs, it will instantly weather away if taken out of this world.】

Seeing this appraisal information, Mo Fan felt a little relieved.

"Still the same taste—"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Mo Fan began to perceive carefully.

He operated his Cultivation Technique a little.

He found that there was no spiritual energy in the Secret Realm, and it seemed that he couldn't Cultivate.

But soon, he captured particles of mysterious and mystical energy.

These mysterious energy particles were not spiritual energy, but they seemed to be of the same origin as spiritual energy. There was no problem using them to drive Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, and guiding them into the Qi Sea could also convert them into Innate Protective Aura.

What was even more outrageous was that Mo Fan found that after absorbing these mysterious energy particles, his cultivation seemed to have improved a little bit.

Although the improvement was not obvious.

But he still sensed it.

There was no way, when he was outside, absorbing spiritual energy to Cultivate was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to make any waves.

Let alone feeling an improvement in cultivation after Cultivating for such a short time.

Even if he Cultivated for a whole day, his cultivation would not change at all.

But now...

"What is going on?

"What exactly are these mysterious factors, and why can even a trash Physique like mine improve so fast?"

Mo Fan was stunned.

He made a rough calculation.

According to this speed of absorbing mysterious factors.

He didn't even need to go looking for Opportunities; just by Cultivating quietly like this, his cultivation could break through two or three small Realms in two months, directly reaching the fourth or even fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

"If even I can improve so fast, wouldn't those Geniuses with excellent Physiques take off directly when they come in?"

Under normal circumstances, compared to those Geniuses who can easily break through their cultivation.

Mo Fan's cultivation progress after ten years of outside Cultivation might not compare to someone else's one month.

"If Geniuses like them come in and stay for two months, wouldn't they—"

Thinking of this, Mo Fan shook his head.

"This is unreasonable—

"The effect of the Secret Realm cannot be so Heaven-Defying.

"As far as I know, although the Secret Realm is magical, generally after two months, if one's cultivation can improve by two or three small Realms, it is considered good luck—"

Thinking of this, Mo Fan was stunned, his brain buzzing.

"So... the one with the problem is me?

"The spiritual energy outside is not suitable for my Cultivation?

"But the mysterious energy factors in the Secret Realm are very compatible with me?

"Why is this?

"Could it be that I am not a so-called trash Physique, but a Genius Physique born in the wrong era?"
