I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 139: Entering the Mystic Realm, the Power of Flight?

“Elder Gujian.”

Mi Xingye spoke.

“Fang Jie does indeed far exceed his peers. However, as a core disciple, it is inappropriate to waste everyone’s time for him alone. Not only Fang Jie, but my disciple He Mingye has not yet returned to the sect as well. Mingye and Fang Jie are both top core disciples of the sect. So even if they are in the second batch to enter the mystic realm, they will still gain a lot.”

Hearing this, Elder Gujian frowned slightly.

“Sect Master is right, I was rude.”

After that, Elder Gujian returned to his seat and looked calm again.

“Disciples, let’s go now!”

Elder Yuancheng waved his sleeves.

Instantly, the light curtain around them disappeared.

Then, more than a dozen flying void realm demon beasts landed in front of the Elders Hall.

Mi Xingye and Elder Yuancheng walked directly towards a colorful high level void realm raptor. This time, they would personally lead the group to the Fog Night Abyss.

In addition, several elders also got on the backs of the demon beasts. They were responsible for guarding outside the mystic realm once the disciples entered it.

More than a dozen disciples above the fourth stage void realm also sat down.

Luckily, the backs of the demon beasts were very wide, so it was not a problem for three to five people to sit down.

Xu Ning and Zhuo Zongyi sat together on the back of one of the demon beasts.

The demon beasts took off, with everyone moving swiftly through the clouds.

“I didn’t expect that we would have the opportunity to enter the mystic realm of a legendary martial arts master. How rare of an opportunity this is.”

Zhuo Zongyi sat opposite of Xu Ning, and he was quite excited. “Anyone who can be called a legendary martial arts master must be a master in the dao realm.”

“A master in the dao realm?”

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard of this realm.

“Yes, a dao realm master is an existence that transcends the void realm.”

Zhuo Zongyi explained: “In that realm, martial arts will enter a whole new level. This kind of leap is even greater than the advancement from the mortal realm to the void realm. Legend has it that when a dao realm master performs martial arts, even with just a wave of his hand, strange phenomenons will appear around them. When some martial artists in the dao realm release a punch, they can punch through a mountain, and when they stomp on the ground, the ground will crack for ten miles. This kind of strength is unimaginable to ordinary people.”

‘Punch through a mountain?’

Xu Ning felt like he was telling a story.

“Do you think I’m exaggerating?”

Zhuo Zongyi said, “When I first heard about the strength of a dao realm warrior, I was also shocked. But I have read many books in the core disciple sect, and they all have similar descriptions. Junior Brother, if you are interested, you can borrow more books to read when you return to the sect.”

“Okay.”

Xu Ning wanted to know more.

“Senior Brother, is there still a dao realm master in State Jifeng?”

Zhuo Zongyi looked knowledgeable, so Xu Ning took the opportunity to ask.

“Hard to say.” Zhuo Zongyi said, “On the surface, it has been more than 100 years since a dao realm master has appeared. But a dao realm master’s life span is longer than 300 years, so no one knows if there is a dao realm master hiding in State Jifeng.”

“By the way, Senior Brother Zhuo, are ‘dao seals’ related to dao realm masters?”

Xu Ning suddenly remembered that he had heard the word “dao seal” repeatedly.

“Yes.”

Zhuo Zongyi explained, “Dao seals are the physical embodiment of a dao realm master’s comprehension in cultivation. A void realm martial artist can observe and learn from it, which in turn has a miraculous effect on their cultivation. You and I have not yet broken through the common seal realm, so there is no need to observe dao seals yet. When you break through to the common seal realm, the Sect Master will definitely let you observe and comprehend it.”

Zhuo Zongyi’s words made Xu Ning’s future path clearer.

However, for Xu Ning, the dao realm was still far away.

The most important thing now was to obtain more resources in the mystic realm.

“Huh?”

Zhuo Zongyi looked into the distance, his eyebrows suddenly tightened.

“What’s wrong, Brother Zhuo?”

Xu Ning followed Zhuo Zongyi’s gaze.

On the back of a raptor, Bao Ruyuan and a handsome man who was wearing a gold crown and holding a folding fan, sat facing each other. The two looked to be chatting happily.

“Bao Ruyuan, why are you with him?”

Zhuo Zongyi had a hint of fear in his eyes.

“Who is that?”

Xu Ning looked at the man and asked.

“That person’s name is Chen Xiaoyi, and he is the strongest person besides Senior Brother He Mingye and Fang Jie.”

Zhuo Zongyi said, “It is said that he has begun to study a dao seal, and is starting to break through to the common seal realm.”

The common seal realm was the biggest divide in the void realm.

In the Yuelan Sect, when core disciples break through to the ethereal enlightenment realm while there was an open position, they could firmly assume the position of an elder.

Among the core disciples, He Mingye and Fang Jie were the only ones who were above the common seal realm.

“Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan are together, so after entering the mystic realm, we must be careful.”

Zhuo Zongyi warned, “Bao Ruyuan is a vengeful person, and we have a grudge against him. If we enter the mystic realm and the two of them join forces, we may really be in danger.”

“We are all disciples of the sect, but they dare to attack us?”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

“Normally, there would be no need to worry about this.” Zhuo Zongyi said, “But opportunities and risks coexist in the mystic realm. There are always disputes over resources and treasures. Even if you kill someone, you can say that they died in the mystic realm.”

“Is that so…”

When Xu Ning heard this, he started to become wary of Chen Xiaoyi and everyone else who was entering the mystic realm.

“We are near the mystic realm, everyone get ready!”

A few hours later, an elder at the forefront suddenly shouted.

The Fog Night Abyss was not close to the Yuelan Sect, but because of the flying void realm demon beast under them, they traveled rather quickly.

They had set off at noon, but before the sun could set, they had already arrived.

“This is the Fog Night Abyss!”

Zhuo Zongyi looked down at the terrain and said.

“Fog Night Abyss?”

Xu Ning had never been here before, so he didn’t know.

But when he heard about the Fog Night Abyss, he subconsciously thought of Xiao Qiyun.

This was because Xiao Qiyun, the Leader of the Seven Boxers, had disappeared in the Fog Night Abyss.

After Xiao Qiyun returned to the sect today, he did not follow everyone into the mystic realm again. He just returned to the inner sect, so Xu Ning did not meet with Xiao Qiyun.

Because of Xiao Qiyun’s contribution, Mi Xingye had decided to take him in as an in-name core disciple.

And if he could confirm that the owner of the mystic realm was Shi Fengxu, then Xiao Qiyun would be promoted to an official core disciple.

Moreover, as the discoverer of the mystic realm, Xiao Qiyun could follow any batch of disciples to enter the mystic realm.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The flying demon beasts flapped their wings and slowly lowered their altitude.

When they descended into the abyss valley, sunlight was already scarce, and the surroundings began to dim.

But for these void realm martial artists, seeing in the dark was not a difficult thing to do.

“We’re here!”

Mi Xingye and Elder Yuancheng landed in front of a pond.

The other flying demon beasts also followed.

Soon, everyone got off the demon beasts’ back.

“My fellow disciples, the mystic realm is 300 meters below this pond.”

Elder Yuancheng’s voice was loud. “Enter the pond and pass through the barrier, then you can enter the mystic realm.”

“According to the information we have gathered, after entering the mystic realm, everyone will be scattered into different locations by the mysterious power of the mystic realm. There are dangers everywhere, but there are also countless opportunities out there. I hope you can protect your lives and dare to explore the unknown.”

“Also, after entering the mystic realm, there is no fixed way out. If you want to come out again, you have to figure it out yourself.”

What Elder Yuancheng said was all the information provided by Xiao Qiyun.

“Lastly, before entering the mystic realm, I want to give everyone a warning.”

Elder Yuancheng’s tone had a hint of coldness. “All the disciples here are the elites of the Yuelan Sect, and we are all from the same sect. After entering the mystic realm, I hope that everyone can help each other in times of crisis. If anyone dares to fight against their own people, they will be sent to the Disciplinary Hall to be executed!”

These words also made some disciples who had other intentions restrain themselves.

“Okay, enter into the mystic realm!”

After that, Elder Yuancheng jumped into the pond and led the way.

The other elders began to coordinate with the disciples and entered the pond one by one.

Thump! Thump…

One by one, the disciples jumped into the pond.

Xu Ning and Zhuo Zongyi were at the back of the group.

“I wanted to join forces with Junior Brother Xu, but we are going to be separated after entering, what a shame.”

Zhuo Zongyi sighed.

“No worries, Senior Brother Zhuo. After entering the mystic realm, if we can meet up, we will still have the chance to work together.”

Xu Ning said.

Soon, everyone entered the pond.

Xu Ning was the last one to enter.

“Xu Ning.”

Just when Xu Ning was about to jump into the pond, Mi Xingye stopped him.

“Master.”

Xu Ning quickly cupped his fists.

Although Xu Ning and Mi Xingye had not yet contacted each other privately after getting into a master-disciple relationship, Xu Ning had still received pointers and secret techniques from He Mingye, and established connections with some core disciples.

These were the benefits of being the in-name disciple of the Sect Master.

“After you became my in-name disciple, I haven’t really performed my duties as a master. I feel a little ashamed.”

Mi Xingye said, “Once you come out of the mystic realm safely, let’s get closer to each other.”

“Definitely, Master.”

Xu Ning responded.

“This is for you.”

Mi Xingye handed Xu Ning a grape-sized round bead.

The round bead was crystal clear and fluorescent light could be seen reflecting inside, like a precious gem.

“You carry it with you.” Mi Xingye said, “It can help you block three fatal attacks from a common seal realm practitioner.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Xu Ning quickly took it.

The mystic realm was extremely dangerous. With this extra degree of protection, his safety was guaranteed.

“Okay, go.”

Mi Xingye waved his hand.

Xu Ning cupped his fists and saluted, then his body started to surge with true qi as he fell into the pond.

In the pond, Xu Ning’s clothes were now wet.

After Xu Ning dived more than 300 meters, he saw Elder Yuancheng in front of the underwater barrier.

“Xu Ning, be careful.”

Elder Yuancheng’s voice traveled through the water and reached Xu Ning’s ears.

Although Xu Ning was Mi Xingye’s disciple, Elder Yuancheng admired him.

Xu Ning cupped his fists in response.

Afterwards, Xu Ning passed through the barrier.

When he touched the barrier, his fingers seemed to touch a layer of water, with ripples appearing around it.

After his entire body passed through, it was pitch black. The great night vision that void realm martial artists had was useless here.

Xu Ning took a few steps forward before he suddenly felt a spiral under his feet. Then, his whole body fell into the hole, as if he was pulled into a vortex of quicksand.

When Xu Ning gained control of his body again, he found himself in a cave.

Inside the cave, there were irregular-shaped rocks everywhere, vines and plants were attached to the walls, and the fruits of the plants were even glowing.

Xu Ning’s night vision was working now, so although the cave was dark, he could still see clearly.

‘Is this the mystic realm…’

Xu Ning took out the two swords on his back.

Afterwards, Xu Ning did not leave immediately. He planned to first use the Martial Arts Panel.

Xu Ning had not used the 6,000 units of energy he had obtained previously.

‘It takes 1500 units of energy to advance a fourth level secret technique to the fifth level. With four secret techniques, it adds up to exactly 6000 units.’

Xu Ning didn’t think too much about it. He just directly raised his four secret techniques to level five.

Now that his strength had improved again, Xu Ning felt more confident.

Xu Ning held two swords in his hands and slowly walked along the cave.

Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, Xu Ning heard a strange noise.

In front of him, a palm-sized bug quickly flapped its wings and flew towards him.

The bug had a slender body that was several feet long, with sharp blades as its mouth.

‘The vitality of this bug is almost comparable to a middle level demon beast!’

This was the first time Xu Ning had seen such a bug.

The flying insect seemed to have smelled Xu Ning’s scent as it flew straight over.

Its blade-like mouth suddenly aimed towards Xu Ning.

‘This bug is very aggressive…’

When Xu Ning saw this, he immediately waved his sword. In an instant, the flying insect was cut in half before its body parts fell to the ground.

Xu Ning bent down to pick it up. He wanted to check the carcass of the bug, but he suddenly found a fluorescent stone in the body of the flying insect.

“This is the source of the bug?”

Xu Ning took out the fluorescent stone from the body of the flying insect.

However, when Xu Ning’s fingertips touched the stone, a notification appeared on the Martial Arts Panel in front of Xu Ning.

…

Discovered 1 unit of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

…

“There is energy in this?”

This was the first time Xu Ning had touched an energy source of a living creature.

Although it was only one unit, Xu Ning was still surprised.

“Yes.”

Xu Ning absorbed the fluorescent stone of the flying insect.

After absorbing it, the fluorescent stone turned into powder.

“Interesting…”

Xu Ning shook off the powder in his hand.

Just as he was about to continue forward, Xu Ning heard a dense buzzing sound from the corner ahead.

A cloud of fluorescent green fog appeared, but on a closer look, it was composed of hundreds of flying insects.

“Flying energy?”

Xu Ning waved his sword.
