Aaaaaah!
Flop!
Shortly after Zheng-Fu was knocked down by the kick, he tried to get up and wipe the blood stains on his mouth. His condition did not seem too bad because he was able to recover quickly. But even so, he still felt pain all over his body.
"Young man, I know you're worried about the Princess and want to see her. But the Princess left the messages with the four guardians of these lands. Besides me, the golden dragon, there are also the White Tiger, the Flaming Swan, and the Sacred Deity Turtle, the four of us are guardians of the different secret lands. Princess believes that you'll definitely join the mission in the four secret lands. And my Dragon Deity Secret Land is the first place that opened.
And I finally found you. But when I know your energy level, I think it's too early to tell you about it. So, I thought of letting you go back alive first. But things changed when my son appeared before you and wanted to kill you. So, we met so early!"
Golden Dragon King briefly explained it in as much detail as possible. This made Zheng-Fu realize that the secret land was not the only place there. Each secret land was ruled by a divine spirit monster beast from each race. And Qi-Er left a message for him with them. But because the Golden Dragon King's secret land opened first, Zheng-Fu had a chance to meet him first.
It was very unbelievable for the Golden Dragon King because he had just received a message not long before he met Zheng-Fu. However, when he learned that Zheng-Fu's energy level was still too weak, he thought of not telling him yet. But fate decreed that he tell Zheng-Fu this time.
"I'm... Err... Divine Dragon, can you tell me a story about Fu-Er? Who really is she? Isn't she the daughter of the Monster King of the Below World?" Zheng-Fu slowly calmed his mind, before asking the elder golden dragon about Fu-Er.
"I can't tell you about that right now. I can only tell you that she is one of the Princesses of the Top World that only Deity Stage cultivators and beyond can enter. Of course, in that realm, the Deity Stage is not the highest stage. There are other stages higher than that. Anyway, stepping up to the Deity Stage is not easy. You must at least cultivate energy for several hundred years. At the earliest, it may be several decades. There is absolutely no way to reach that stage in just a few years!"
The elder golden dragon was unable to tell Zheng-Fu about Fu-Er. He could only talk about certain things. And he told him about a realm that was higher than this Main World which was also known as the Top World where the Deity Stage identities live.
Umm!
"Then can I ask another question?" Hearing this, Zheng-Fu was shocked but tried to keep a calm demeanor and asked one more question.
"Yes, of course! If it's a question I can answer, I'll answer you," the elder golden dragon lightly nodded.
"I want to know if Fu-Er is still alive right now?" Zheng-Fu asked about the most important thing for him, which could motivate him to continue living toward his goals.
"Of course, Princess is still alive. But she had to stay vigilant. Even so, you don't have to worry. No one will be able to harm her during these ten years. But after ten years, I'm not sure either if Princess is still safe!" the elder golden dragon replied as far as he knew. For he was only within this land, and he could contact Fu-Er with a communication jade that could only be used once.
Umm!
"Thank you so much, Divine Dragon! I'll train hard and try to reach the Deity Stage as soon as possible. But how do I get out of this secret land now? Or do I have to wait for the secret land to open next time before I can go out?" Zheng-Fu understood everything. Therefore, the only way he could help Fu-Er was to make himself even stronger. But now, the first thing he had to do was get out of Dragon Deity Secret Land.
"Of course, you can leave because there is still time left for the gate to open. Therefore, I'll have Ling-Ying take you to the entrance. And before we part, I'll give this to you."
Huh?
"What is it?"
"This is my blood. This bottle of blood will help you to strengthen your body and increase your energy level. But let me give you one warning before using it. That is, you'll have to experience unspeakable pain after using it. And if you lose consciousness while drinking my blood, your body will be burnt and your energy realm will disintegrate!"
The elder golden dragon described the item given to Zheng-Fu which was his blood. Because his blood was strong ancient dragon blood, when Zheng-Fu drank it, it would adjust the structure of Zheng-Fu's body to become stronger. And it would also increase Zheng-Fu's energy level.
"Thank you so much, Divine Golden Dragon. Then, I'll excuse myself. Because right now everyone must be waiting for me!"
Zheng-Fu appreciated and was grateful for the elder golden dragon's generosity. He would consider this a great grace to him. And he would definitely repay this elder golden dragon later.
"Well! You can go now, or the gate will close. You'll have to wait several years before it opens again!" The elder golden dragon lightly nodded, before telling the woman named Ling-Ying to take Zheng-Fu back out to the exit gate.
"Yes, sir!"
Half an hour passed...
Thud!
"I can only send you here. And the next secret land to open is the Sacred White Tiger Deity Secret Land which will open next year. That secret land does not restrict the energy levels of those who will participate in the quest and is much more dangerous than this place. Because our King is a merciful person who does not like killing. I wish you good luck from now on," the woman said with a calm face but with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth which looked creepier than pleasant.
"Thank you very much for the advice. I'll quickly cultivate myself to become even stronger. One year from now, I'll become an advanced Deity Soul stage cultivator!" Zheng-Fu persisted. It would be impossible for him to become a Deity Stage cultivator within a year. But at least he would do his best.
"Umm! So, before parting, I'll give this to you. I believe that it'll help you break through your current energy level to a higher stage!" She gave him a box as small as a fist, which contained some valuable items.
"Thank you very much! All right, I have to leave. See you later," Zheng-Fu did not open it to see what was inside. But he believed that it would definitely be a valuable item. But he did not want to open it now because the gate was about to close.
Umm!
Whoosh!
In the courtyard in front of the secret land entrance...
"I'll wait until the secret land gate closes. In case there are any remaining Dharma Sect disciples!" a medium-rank Dharma Sect elder spoke up. After he saw only a few of his sect's disciples had just come out.
"Of course, Heavenly Melodies Sect Master Elder. We're also waiting for our disciples. If the secret land gate is closed and they still haven't exited then they're already dead within it," the elder from the Sacred Infernal Divine Subdue Sky Sect said with a smile on his face. But that smile was concealed with slyness.
"Right as Master Mo-Leng-Dong said. We'll all wait until Dragon Deity Secret Land gate closes. If none of the disciples come out, we can leave here," said Elder Li-Xiao-Bai. He also wanted to wait for Zheng-Fu because Zheng-Fu was an important person in the sect and they had to take good care of him. So, the elder could not go back until it was certain that Zheng-Fu did not come out.
"All right!"
"I agree!"
"Me too!"
Many elders agreed with this opinion. Because there were disciples of many sects that had not come out yet. Of course, everyone had mentally prepared for their death. But no matter what, everyone still held a glimpse of hope that they would eventually come out.
At the camp area of Holy Heavenly Blossom Sect...
"Senior Sister Yi-Lin, do you think Comrade Zheng-Fu has come out yet?"
"That's right, Senior Sister. I'm very worried about him. I'm afraid of what will happen to him!"
"Because of him, we survived. But I don't know if he has come out of the secret land now or not?"
"I want to know just like you guys. But I haven't seen him leave the secret land since we left. And now the secret land gate is about to close," Yi-Lin turned to answer her junior disciple with a concerned expression. She was worried about Zheng-Fu no less than anyone else.
"I believe that he'll definitely be all right, Yi-Lin. Someone like him, I believe, will be able to survive and come out in the end!" Qi-Yi spoke to comfort Yi-Lin and her junior disciples. She did not know why this young man named Zheng-Fu had caused her comrade and junior disciples to change so much. But when she remembered when Zheng-Fu came to save her, she could understand.
"Can you tell me who you guys are talking about?"
"We're talking about…"
"Another one has come out of the gate!"
At that moment, the observer's shout sounded as a shadowy figure walked out of the Dragon Deity Secret Land gate. After that, the entrance gate closed instantly. And the person who came out was none other than Zheng-Fu.
"He's out! He really came out!" Yi-Lin's expression was filled with joy. And she unconsciously shed tears as she saw who it was.
"Is it that guy!?" the young woman who had asked previously, looked up at the person who had just come out of the gate.
"That's right, Lin-Xi. It's him. He was the one who came to save me from the Devil Sect. So, I still survive until now. Perhaps you were also saved by him. Just you did not know it," Qi-Yi answered the question instead of Yi-Lin.
Oh!
At first, Lin-Xi did not want to believe it. But when she saw the expressions on Yi-Lin and Qi-Yi's faces, she had to believe and accept it.
Back to Zheng-Fu...
Ah!
"Finally, I'm able to come out. The weather outside is worse than inside. But it's normal for it to be like this! Inside is a secret land that is filled with many rare herbs and magical treasures, so there's a lot of Heaven Energy. By the way, why are there so many people waiting to greet me?"
After Zheng-Fu came out, he could not help but mutter, comparing the conditions inside and outside the secret land. And at that moment, he noticed a large number of people coming toward him.
