313: Arrival at Weijia

"I don't know, but it's definitely not the Third Grade. If it were the Third Grade, I would have noticed."

Xiao Weiqing asked worriedly, "Then it's the Second Grade?"

"I'm afraid it's the First Grade. Once that girl Wei Lan sets her mind on something, she'll do it regardless of the consequences."

Wei Cangbai spoke with equal concern. Having taught her for two years, he understood Wei Lan very well; her personality was extremely stubborn.

Xiao Weiqing also realized the danger level of this Illusory Moon Secret Realm.

In the Wei Family, aside from Wei Cangbai, no one else had passed the Third Grade trial in sixty years, let alone the Second Grade trial.

From this, the difficulty of the trials was evident.

If Wei Lan truly took the First Grade trial, according to Wei Cangbai, it would be a certain death sentence.

"Grandfather, please tell me, where are the Phantom Moon Ruins?"

"And how do I enter the Illusory Moon Secret Realm?"

"If Wei Lan really is taking the First Grade trial, how can I save her?"

Wei Cangbai said, "The entrance to the ruins is right in the Wei Family home. Go find Wei Chaosheng—he's your Sixth Uncle—and have him take you into the ruins."

"The Illusory Moon Secret Realm is at the center of the ruins. It opens on the night of the full moon."

"As for saving Wei Lan, if she really is taking the First Grade trial, you will also need to take the First Grade trial. Only by completely taking control of the Illusory Moon Secret Realm can you ensure Wei Lan's life isn't in danger."

"Wait!"

Ning Xing interrupted, "Weiqing, won't taking the First Grade trial be just as life-threatening for you?"

Wei Cangbai said, "With Xiao Weiqing's current Seventh Realm strength, I don't know what will happen if he takes the trial."

"Members of the Wei Family usually take the trial at the Fourth Realm to increase their Bloodline concentration."

"Old Ghost Wei, what about you?"

"Did you not take the Second Grade or even the First Grade trial after you became stronger later on?"

Wei Cangbai explained, "For that trial, there's no limit on the number of attempts before the Fifth Realm, but once you succeed, you can't take it again."

"After the Fifth Realm, a person can only take it once. If there were no limit on attempts, my Wei Family would have dominated Great Xia long ago."

Then,

Wei Cangbai shared a few more details about the Illusory Moon Secret Realm.

Xiao Weiqing listened intently, not missing a single word. Once he understood the general situation, he made a decision.

"Grandfather, I plan to head to Xinchang Prefecture right now."

"I still have to guard this place for a while and won't be returning for now. However, I'll notify Old Sixth. If you need anything, just find him."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

"Mhm."

Wei Cangbai thought for a moment and added, "If anyone makes things difficult for you, don't lower yourself to their level. After all, they are your elders. Of course, if someone truly stands in your way, then teach them a lesson on my behalf."

Wei Cangbai knew the nature of the Second and Third branches of the family, so he gave Xiao Weiqing a few words of caution.

"Understood, Grandfather."

"I won't provoke them. I only want to save Wei Lan."

"Good, go then. I'll have Old Xu take you."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, stood up, and left.

This time,

Neither Xie Zhiyuan nor Ning Xing stopped him, because they knew they couldn't even if they tried.

However, since it involved a God, everything was unpredictable. If anything were to happen to Xiao Weiqing, it would be a loss for Planet Blue.

"Old Ghost Wei, tell the truth. How much risk is there for Xiao Weiqing on this trip?"

Wei Cangbai glared at Ning Xing. "I really don't know. However, there is certainly risk. I've told him everything I can. If I truly had a way to handle the Illusory Moon Secret Realm, I wouldn't have thought about having the Wei Family abandon the Red Pupil Bloodline."

This was the truth.

In recent years, many Wei Family disciples had failed their Second Awakening. After they were unable to improve their Bloodline, Wei Cangbai had considered no longer pouring resources into descendants with the Red Pupil talent.

But,

The word 'God' had always kept him from making a final decision. Wei Lan was actually his last attempt.

He had originally intended to nurture Wei Lan to take the Second Grade trial, which would have ensured at least another century of glory for the Wei Family.

Unexpectedly,

Plans couldn't keep up with changes. With this incident involving Xiao Weiqing, Wei Lan had entered the Illusory Moon Secret Realm early and might even have taken the First Grade trial, from which no one had ever returned.

Xie Zhiyuan rubbed his bald head and then said:

"Don't worry, Weiqing is much stronger than you imagine. If even he cannot pass a God's trial, then no one on Planet Blue can."

"You have that much confidence in him?" Wei Cangbai asked curiously.

Xie Zhiyuan said, "Ultimately, for your Illusory Moon Secret Realm, those who enter the trial must have the strength to crush their peers—they must be Geniuses among Geniuses."

"Correct."

The trial of the Illusory Moon Secret Realm didn't have much to do with the Realm one entered at. The higher the Realm, the more difficult it naturally became, but as long as one had strength far exceeding their own Realm, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Old Headmaster, you still haven't said what's going on with Xiao Weiqing's strength. How has he already stepped into the Seventh Realm in less than two years?"

Xie Zhiyuan shook his head. "You don't need to doubt Weiqing's strength; it was all gained through his own Cultivation."

"All you need to know is that Weiqing has slain a Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm."

"What!"

The two were horrified.

Although Xiao Weiqing's Aura was powerful, that was the pressure brought by his Divine Soul power.

Ning Xing and Wei Cangbai were both top-tier experts of the Eighth Realm. Naturally, they could see at a glance that Xiao Weiqing hadn't even forged a Divine Body yet. How could he possess the strength to slay a Demon Venerable?

"Don't ask. Even if you do, I won't say. The fewer people who know about this, the better."

"Next time you have the chance, you can ask him yourselves."

Speaking of this, Xie Zhiyuan cursed angrily:

"You bastard, Weiqing originally didn't want to expose himself, but it was you who did a bad deed out of good intentions."

Ning Xing wiped the spit from his face, stood up, and slipped away.

Wei Cangbai also suppressed the shock in his heart and stood up to leave, preparing to go tell his family's Old Sixth to make sure he entertained Xiao Weiqing well and didn't let him suffer any grievances... A private aircraft, with lines full of a sense of technology, flew toward the south at extreme speed.

"Grandpa Xu, how much longer until we arrive?"

"Young Master Weiqing, there are still 42 minutes."

"As quickly as possible."

Xiao Weiqing sat down and allowed himself to regain his calm. He didn't know how dangerous it was inside the Illusory Moon Secret Realm, but he definitely couldn't panic; he had to be calm.

Otherwise, he might not be able to save Wei Lan and might even get himself killed, or perhaps fail to rescue Wei Lan due to his own mistake—all of which were unacceptable... Xinchang Prefecture.

Wei Family Manor.

A middle-aged man stood with about twenty people behind him, all core members of the Wei Family, seemingly waiting for something.

The middle-aged man's strength was not the strongest among the group, but his presence was not weak at all. His face was cold and stern, he did not smile, and he had the Aura of someone in a high position.

He was precisely the sixth son of the Wei Family's first branch, Wei Chaosheng. Although he only had Fifth Realm strength, he controlled more than half of the Wei Family's resources.

"Old Sixth, why have you gathered us?" Wei Chaoming asked, with his son, Wei Hong, standing behind him.

"That's right, Old Sixth. Although Father left you in charge of everything in the Wei Family before he left, don't just issue orders for no reason, okay? Everyone is busy with Cultivation. Not everyone is like you, reaching their limit at the Fifth Realm."

Another middle-aged man spoke, his words carrying a hint of resentment.

This person was named Wei Chaogui, the eldest son of the third branch, with Seventh Realm strength. He was the father of Wei Qifan and Wei Yingying.
