Another shichen passed...

Crack! Crack! Crack!

"We're back!"

Huh!?

Eventually, everyone returned to the entrance with joyful and comfortable faces. They were full of various thoughts and feelings. However, when they arrived, they found Zheng-Fu sitting cultivating energy in a spell curtain that could see through.

"Should we call him?" one of the clan leaders asked worriedly.

"This matter... I think we've to ask Sectmaster," the other clan leader added, looking expectantly at Li-Gao.

Ah!

Sigh!

"Anyway, we've to call him. For all our work within here is finished. If we don't call him, how will we…"

"You can leave this secret land at any time, Sectmaster. There's no need to wait for me to take you out. You guys just walk through that gate, and everything will be all right!" However, before Li-Gao could finish his sentence, Zheng-Fu spoke first, with his eyes slowly opening up.

"You're already awake just now?" Li-Gao felt a slight flush of blush as he saw Zheng-Fu suddenly opening his eyes.

"I was just awake when you guys arrived," Zheng-Fu replied to Li-Gao with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

You!!!

"All right! By the way, will you go out with us? Or will you stay here?" Li-Gao himself knew that he would not be able to counteract Zheng-Fu. So, he talked about leaving the secret land instead.

"You can leave first. I'll stay here waiting for a hundred disciples to come in. And I'll take care of them too," Zheng-Fu shook his head and refused.

"Then we'll leave first. I'm curious how the maneuver is going now. Maybe if it isn't finished yet, it will have to be postponed for another day," Li-Gao replied and nodded understandingly. Before he led everyone out of the secret land.

"Young Master, we also excused ourselves, sir. We've to go back to the villages to tell everyone about the progress and other details," Hu-Tai-Min walked over to Zheng-Fu and spoke.

"Right, sir!" Yang-Gui added.

"You both can go. I can stay here alone. It seemed that several spirit monster beasts and high-level spirit monsters had ventured outside their territory. I have to deal with them!"

Zheng-Fu did not hold back the two of them. Because there was something he needed to deal with next. That was defeating spirit monster beasts and spirit monsters that were not in their places. Since the previous king of the secret land was killed by Zheng-Fu, they thought that this land no longer had a king. Each of them, therefore, thought to seize power and set themselves as the dominant one. They went out of their territories to announce their greatness to other species.

Two shichens passed by...

Whoosh!!!

"I didn't think the effect of changing the king would be so chaotic!" Zheng-Fu said tiredly after he had spent two shichen dealing with this chaos.

"I'm curious how the maneuver is going now. If it's not finished today, it's probably tomorrow that a hundred disciples will come in. Hmm. I don't know if Chang-Yue and Tai-He can make it through." After finishing dealing with the immediate situation, he thought about the maneuvers of the disciples outside.

Whooooosh!!!

Whooooosh!!!

Whooooosh!!!

Whooooosh!!!

But at that moment, in front of the entrance to the secret land, a large number of people suddenly appeared.

"Big Brother!"

An excited shout calling to Zheng-Fu sounded. The person calling was none other than Chang-Yue.

"Chang-Yue!"

"Master!"

Even Tai-He could get through the maneuvers. Although his energy level was lower than Chang-Yue's. But with the various fighting techniques he possessed, he had an advantage over opponents with higher energy levels than him.

"You two are very good to have made it through," Zheng-Fu complimented the two of them happily. Before he turned to look at the other youths and the others who were older than him but had energy levels no more than the Heavenly Golden Core stage.

"I congratulate everyone for winning the maneuvers and gaining the right to enter the secret land. You'll have one month in this secret land. During this time, you can do anything, whether gathering forest resources, hunting, or finding a seat to cultivate. There is only one prohibition, and that is, do not kill one another. If something like that happened, the one who took action could prepare to stay here forever!"

Zheng-Fu's words were both encouraging and frightening at the same time. Although everyone in this group had never had any conflict before, greed could lead to evil thoughts, such as killing. Therefore, Zheng-Fu had to remind these people to be aware in the beginning.

"We understand, Senior Master Zheng-Fu! But Senior Master, would you please give us a brief explanation about this secret land?"

A question from one of the youths rang out. And this was the question everyone wanted to ask as well. Because they did not know anything about the secret land.

"Of course! I'll let you guys know. This secret land has many different environments. You can choose a cultivating area to match your element. Besides that, there are spirit monster beasts and spirit monsters that are stronger than the Heavenly Golden Core stage. The deeper you go, the more chances you have of encountering them. However, the benefits are also greater.

"Besides, Secret Land has guardians from two races. They'll watch over you and keep an eye on you to ensure you don't break the rules, but they won't help you even if you're in danger of death. Remember, everyone must be conscious to survive. All right, let's disperse! A month will pass by so quickly. If you delay, you'll be wasting your time in vain!"

"Yes, sir, Senior Master Zheng-Fu!"

"Yes, sir, Senior Master Zheng-Fu!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than half of them chose to leave as soon as Zheng-Fu finished speaking. As for those who were still there, they wanted to get a feel of the weather and check out the nearby area first. Some of them also sat down to absorb the Heavenly Energy around there. Because they had reached the bottleneck that was ready to break through to the next stage.

"Big Brother, this secret land isn't as good as my cultivate room. Why would you want me to come here?" Chang-Yue walked over and asked Zheng-Fu as he was observing the surroundings.

"Even though this place doesn't make you cultivate faster, it'll increase your experience in battle. So, you need to come here. If you cultivate in the mountains alone without coming out and facing any battle, when it's time for you to face a difficult situation and you really have to fight, you'll lose to even the lower-level enemy! Therefore, I want you to learn and practice how to survive in this secret land," Zheng-Fu immediately explained to Chang-Yue the reason he wanted her to come there.

"I understand, Big Brother! I'll never disappoint you," Chang-Yue nodded and answered attentively. Before she turned to persuade Tai-He, who was behind her, to go out with her, "Let's go, Elder Brother Tai-He."

"No, you cannot!!!"

Hah!

"Big Brother!"

"This time, you have to go out alone. Tai-He won't go with you!" Zheng-Fu hurriedly raised his hand to stop the two of them and told Chang-Yue to go alone.

Huh!!?

"Master, but this is the first time Younger Sister Chang-Yue…"

"I have already decided. You don't have to say anything else. You should go in the direction you want. Don't stay with her or help her at all! I want her to help herself," Zheng-Fu said with a serious expression. In fact, he did not want Chang-Yue to be alone. But as he might not be able to continue to take care of her all the time, he had to do whatever it would take for Little Chang-Yue to survive in this harsh world.

"Yes, sir, Master!"

"I understand, Big Brother! I'll rely on myself and pass this test!" Although at first, Chang-Yue was dissatisfied, seeing Zheng-Fu's serious face, she did not get angry and agreed to do what he ordered her to.

"Very good, my sister! I believe you'll be able to get through it. Because you are my sister!" Zheng-Fu was very proud and happy to see that the little girl was so indomitable and chose to try her best.

"Yes, sir!"

After responding to his words, Chang-Yue did not delay; she and Tai-He left the safety zone, separating in different directions. Chang-Yue chose the direction of the sweltering volcano. Because the element in her body is the Fire Element. That area was suitable for her cultivation.

As for Tai-He, he did not have any Latent Elements. Thus, he headed into the forest to encounter spirit monster beasts and spirit monsters instead.

"See you next month!"

There was only one month for their cultivation this time. It might seem very fast for many people. But for those who had to cultivate and survive at the same time, it was not fast at all. Unless they had their own plans and methods that allowed them to have an easier time cultivating.

A month passed...

PFOOM!!!

Boooooooom!!!

Ha ha ha!

"I finally managed to break through the bottleneck!"

"Me too! Cultivation this time is really good!"

"Not only breaking through the level, but I have also gathered quite a lot of rare herbs and spirit monster beast souls."

"But a month flew by so quickly. If I have got two more months, I think I can raise two more levels!"

The bustling chatter of the disciples who had begun to return to the safety zone sounded. They had all benefited quite a lot over the past month. Apart from greatly increasing their energy level, they could also get rare herbs, magic items, spirit monster souls, or even good friendships with other clans or other forces.

Among these one hundred cultivators, more than ninety of them were able to break through the Heavenly Golden Core stage to become the Heavenly Star stage cultivators. The rest of them were still a little bit stuck. But even so, they were not worried at all. With the resources they had acquired, they believed that after leaving the secret land, they would break through those obstacles.

"Big Brother, I'm back!"

At that moment, Little Chang-Yue's voice sounded. She returned exactly at the appointed time. Moreover, her energy level and aura emanating from her were much stronger than before. And next to her was Tai-He, who came back at the same time.

Umm!

"Looks like everyone has returned. Then it's time to leave the secret land!"

"Yes, sir, Senior Master Zheng-Fu!!!"

As soon as everyone had completely returned, Zheng-Fu took them out of the Heavenly Command Secret Land. And outside the entrance gate, Li-Gao, all Elders, clan leaders, and force leaders were waiting to greet their disciples with expectant faces. After seeing their disciples come out safely and greatly increase their levels, they had very happy expressions on their faces.

"Respect, Sectmaster, and Master Five Pillar Elders! I have brought all of them back safely. My duty is now over. Next time, hopefully, you guys can do it yourselves!"

Hah!!?

Zheng-Fu's words made everyone extremely surprised and puzzled. They did not understand what Zheng-Fu meant. And what exactly did he want to convey?
