Chapter 4: Whispers of the realm (2)

From the very beginning, Ye Tian was quite curious about what lay inside the doors. Finally, a door opened, revealing a book hall. "Wow! A door opened.... But why now? Is it because I became the master of this place?" Ye Tian pondered. "Whatever, let's go and see what's inside first."

Ye Tian hurriedly ran towards the door. This time, when he pushed it, there was no resistance. "What is this? The hall is so large; the shelves are floating," he exclaimed. "How many manuals are there?"

At that moment, a response came to his mind, instructing him to stand at the center of the hall, where a formation was located. The hall was incredibly large, with various cultivation manuals, books, and teaching materials on the shelves floating in the air.

Ye Tian started looking around the books. After some time, he arrived in front of the formation. It was so profound that even Ye Tian, who was not a formation master, could feel its power.

"Let's see what happens!" Saying this, Ye Tian stepped into the formation. Suddenly, his body started glowing with golden light, and a small box flew towards him. The box opened, revealing a cultivation manual inside.

"Five Elements Origin Qi Method" was written on one scroll. "Why can't I read the others?" Ye Tian tried to grab the manual to examine it more closely, but he couldn't. It was as if there was nothing inside the box but a reflection.

Suddenly, Ye Tian thought of something and sat down in front of the box. He opened his knowledge sea and tried to understand the manual. Ye Tian's knowledge sea started vibrating, and words began to appear out of nowhere, floating in front of him.

"So this is Five Element Origin Qi; it's amazing. Though I don't understand anything now, what about the other manuals?" Ye Tian opened his eyes and noticed that the Five Element scroll had vanished. A vague response came, saying, "When the time comes."

After that, Ye Tian took some manuals and sword arts for his use, but what was strange was that he couldn't take any of them out of the hall. So, he stored all of them in his knowledge sea. This time, the manuals didn't disappear.

"Finally, it's done. I have to return; who knows how much time passed." Ye Tian left the hall, preparing to leave the place. At that time, a token appeared in front of him with a message saying that with this token, he could enter from any place and open a teleportation gate.

The token was golden, but when Ye Tian grabbed it, it became golden light and vanished from his hand, leaving a thunder mark. "What's happening?" He panicked, but what could he do? He looked at the mark, but there was nothing wrong.

Finally, it was time to go. A teleportation portal appeared, and before leaving, Ye Tian placed the egg nest in a location with high spiritual qi concentration.

A teleportation portal appeared in the forest, and a young man walked out. His condition was not good. "Where is this place? Let's check first." Ye Tian hurriedly looked around to realize that this place was near the sect's restricted area entrance.

Ye Tian hurriedly left the forest. After some travel, the Outer Sect gate appeared. Ye Tian stepped through the sect's entrance, his weary eyes scanning the familiar surroundings.

He was struck in the same realm for five years, and his journey had finally taken him to the Twin Cliffs. The experience had been exhilarating, yet daunting. As he walked toward the Outer Sect's residential area, whispers followed him.

"Ye Tian's back... Heard he went to the Twin Cliffs..." Rumors spread quickly within the sect. Ye Tian's thoughts drifted to his encounters at the Twin Cliffs. The secrets he uncovered would change everything.

Thinking about his journey, Ye Tian went to his residence – the same hut with a broken roof. It was a familiar feeling.

The next day, Ye Tian visited the sect's information hall, seeking news about recent events. There, he learned that one and a half months had already passed, and he was missing.

After learning about recent events, Ye Tian walked out of the hall. Instead, he found himself confronted by a group of disciples.

"Ye Tian, did you find anything in the Restricted Area?" one disciple demanded. Ye Tian's instincts flared. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Without saying anything, the disciples attacked. "If you know what's good for you, quickly give what you got from there, or get ready to be beaten up." But Ye Tian was prepared.

Unbeknownst to Ye Tian, someone else was watching them from a tree. Her veil blended into the surroundings as she observed Ye Tian's confrontation.

"Something's wrong," she whispered.

Ye Tian stood firm, his eyes narrowing at the disciples. "

"What do you want?" Ye Tian asked, hand on his sword hilt.

"We know you went to the Restricted Area; you must have gotten something. Some disciples saw you in the secret realm that appeared some time ago," one disciple sneered. "Tell us what you found."

Ye Tian's jaw clenched. "I won't tell you anything."

"Don't know what's right from himself," a disciple laughed. "We have Liang Zhang behind our back; don't resist."

The disciples attacked, their movements swift and coordinated. Ye Tian drew his sword, parrying blows with precision. Ye Tian countered a disciple's strike, but another attacked from behind. Ye Tian dodged, his movements fluid.

A disciple landed a kick, sending Ye Tian stumbling. The veiled lady's eyes spiked. "No, no, no!" she whispered, hastening to jump out from the tree.

As Ye Tian struggled to regain footing, the veiled lady burst into the fray. With silent efficiency, she took down two disciples. Her movements were a blur, her sword slicing through the air.

Ye Tian's eyes widened, surprised by the sudden aid. The remaining disciples retreated. "What the... who is she? Retreat! Ye Tian, just you wait for us!" They fled in disarray.

The veiled lady took a glance at Ye Tian, ensuring his safety. For a fleeting moment, their eyes met. Then, she vanished into the crowd, leaving Ye Tian stunned.

Who was she? Ye Tian wondered, still reeling from the battle. He sensed a familiar scent – a mesmerizing aroma that stirred memories. That scent... it's the same as the medicine bottles.

Ye Tian's thoughts swirled with questions. Who was this mysterious woman? Why did she help him? And what did she want?

As he walked away from the scene, Ye Tian noticed a figure watching him from afar – her emerald eyes gleaming with interest.
