"Heh, look at all those craving teens down there. They all can't wait to go on in, oh? There even that Moli group to off to the side in anticipation too." Kuzumi was commenting as she, along with the others, were looking down on mass numbers of disciples.

Tens of thousands of Holy Twilight Sect disciples were all waiting in front of a plain open field with nothing remarkable on it.

And yet every single one of these youths filled to the brim with enthusiasm as today is the annual Mystic Realm event!

Every disciple heard of unfathomable tales of how this event can even make an ordinary youth transform into a great genius. And now, with the just recent finish sect inclusion test, newcomers were all eager to transform their lives.

"It's quite a life-changing event, young Kuzumi. Now then as much of an opportunity this event is, it's also just as perilous. Remember, this mystic realm is exceedingly enormous to the point where not even us Twilight Guardian could fully explore it. Take extra precaution." Guardian Chui took the time to remind and lecture her eight students.

Before coming here, Kzami had requested for her to have them be invisible from the eyes until the realm open. And after a lovely talk that involved the private use of her first name, she agreed.

"Master, don't worry too much; after all, we're under the leadership of Fairy Kuzumi and Brother Kazami! After today all of us will shock the whole sect!" Luo Ke boldly stated as he has the utmost confidence in the Kazami team.

"Yoh? Is it starting?" Brenda question as everyone's eyes focuses upon the open field that began to rumble.

During this process, everyone breaths held as the quaking became intense until,

'CHI!'

From four specific spots on the open field, four multi-color beams blasted from the ground and met in the middle of the sky. It was an awe stunning sight to witness the bright brilliant flashing all kinds of colors

Only a couple minutes passed and soon out from the connecting beams, spewed out a large rainbow portal that awaited it's challengers.

"EVERYONE BEGIN!!"

And from a booming commanding shout that Kazami noted was even stronger than the first time he met Guardian Chui, the tens of thousands of youths eagerly rushed into the portals.

"I shall send you down now!" Guardian Chui waved her hand, flashing seven of them down to a specific location where they wouldn't get noticed.

Only Kazami remained behind, giving a warm smile to Guardian Chui while she had a worrying glance.

"Be on the lookout for anything suspicious, especially if it comes from Moli. There's not only the dangers of the realms in there, and I know you have strongest of prowess out of all of them."

Guardian Chui warmed him with a gentle warm tone as she placed her trust in Kazami to keep everyone safe. And as he saw her adoringly cute worrying face with a voice that could melt hearts gotten Kazami to gain a flash of inspiration.

Quickly he flashed his Profound Spiritual Eyes along with his god bloodlines slightly dazing Guardian Chui as he became more charming to her eyes. And in a split second, Kazami flashed to Guardian Chui, giving her a quick but warm hug in her dazed state.

"My Guardian Rou is anxious about us, huh? Don't worry; I will come back to you with them."

His body, touch, and voice all sent electric shocks throughout the Guardian Chui body as her face quickly heated up with a massive blush.

"AhH!! Just leave you damn naughty boy!!!" She squeaked out while frantically waving her hands to send the boy to the others.

Guardian Chui had to calm her rapidly beating heart as this was the first time Kazami had ever acted this bold to her. Though with remembering the warm tone he used when saying 'My Guardian Rou' was nearly getting her face to break in a smile.

Throughout the week, Kazami got close to her slowly with teasing or from the fun conversation they would have with each other. Now, seeing him going off to some dangerous realm did get her chest tightened as she shook her head.

'Tch! What am I thinking of? That boy better makes sure my cute disciples, and he stays safe!' She convinced herself in her mind, and with one last look, she took off back to her courtyard.

All the while, Kazami was smirking watching Guardian Chui run off as he knew he could only try this because of the Mystic Realm opening.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Only a few seconds passed after the two intimate events, and the other seven didn't notice their interaction as they were staring into the bright, colorful portal. When Kazami had appeared it broken everyone from their musing Kuzumi grabbed his hand telling them,

"Alright! March, everyone!" With her orders, the twins rushed into the portals along with the other six following close behind.

All the while Guardian Lian who saw the whole exchange was mysteriously smiling at the group of eight before vanishing from sight.

….

"It's amazing! To think Mortal planets are this fascinating!" Lun Yuo remarked while gazing around inside the vast, colorful mystic realm. All shared her sentiments as the others took in the sights as well.

The mystic realm starter zone got filled to the brim with lushes vivid tress that stood at a high height, sparkling vines that connected each tree and bushes that spring to life and numerous of the multi-color of beautiful flowers and roses.

It was like a magnificent grand garden that got cultivated on for thousands of years.

Kazami had noticed that around them was only themselves as the thousands of disciples already rushed on their own or paired up in team formations. Although Kazami felt a light feeling that they were getting gazed upon.

However, spreading his spirit sense out that feeling immediately went away, getting him already cautious as he decided to speak up, getting everyone's attention,

"For now, I'll let Kuzumi lead us to the first treasure while the rest of us spread out our spirit sense for any attackers or beats."

"Got it!" The six of them said in unison while Kuzumi closed her eyes and activated her God's bloodline, combining it with his spirit sense to search for divine energies.

It didn't take long at all before her eyes snapped back open, exclaiming to the group,

"Follow me!"

With Kuzumi in the lead and everyone else following closely behind, Kazami still didn't feel that slight gazing like before. Neither did anyone else bring any attention to the feeling of being watched.

His guard didn't relax in the slightest as the eight of them sped off to their first resources.

All the while Kazami team went off in a different direction. Moli team was already blasting through the colossal forest with no intention of staying in the starter zone.

"I'm telling you we should've just followed them! Those useless four leechings of from Kazami will only bring him harm, and I won't allow any harm to come to my future boyfriend!" Ashely boldly complained to Moli, who kept a smile on his face.

"I, for one, agree with Ash for once. Who knows what kind of 'accidents' could happen in this realm. We could be there to prevent that." Tiny had surprisingly agreed with Ashely getting both girls to take a double-take at him.

"Ehh, you're definitely up to something with that thought, Tiny. Although for you, this is a little too on the nose." Jane stated while quirking her eyebrow.

"You better not be thinking of whatever bad thought against Kazami! Though you're free to go ahead with the rest of them." Ashely threatened and whipped her head back around.

"Heh, so little faith? I'm not that much of a bad guy, you know?" Tiny chortled, and suddenly Moli spoke up with,

"Enough focusing on them, we do not need to bother with them for now. And besides, I'm sure all of us will be in for a treat by the end of this."

….

"RWARGH!"

A frightening, ferocious roar shakes the ground as a humongous mighty black ape with razor-sharp claws that are ambushing down to the Kazami team.

For Mara, Luo Ke, Su Mo, and Dela, they completely froze up as this beast was a tremendous sixth level Heaven Ruler! Their four spirit senses couldn't track the creature at all, easily hiding from their detection.

Currently, they sped far into the depths of the starter zone, not bothering with the outskirt as Kuzumi lead them. This is why they already came upon such a powerful beast as their speed was insanely fast with no rest.

The only reason they could keep up was because of four thin vines from Lun Yuo fingertips wrapped around their bodies, pulling them along.

Nevertheless, while their four bodies may have frozen up from the tremendous ape pressure, they weren't nervous in the slightest.

'Chi!'

As soon as the four were stuck, only a second later, their bodies were free to move as if the pressure never existed in the first place. The four only saw a golden white flash before they took off running again.

'Bang!'

Crashing into the ground was two halves of humongous, ferocious black ape as its eyes were wide open. The ape couldn't even comprehend how it's easy prey killed him when all it saw was a golden white flash.

"Haaah, what a shame! I couldn't even enjoy that slaughtering." Brenda sighed as she kept pace behind Kuzumi.

"Oh, really? Maybe you'll get another chance as we're here!" Kuzumi told them as they came upon a gorgeous big lushes palm tree.

Once everyone could sense what was coming from the palm tree, they all instantly felt refresh and warm. This Mystic Realm already had incomparably strong and pure Qi, definitely, a step above Veiled City Qi, but this palm tree was on another level.

Stopping a few feet from it, the eight saw numerous large green plum shapes fruits hanging from the tree.

"Now that we are here though, I wonder when the dangerous beasts gonna co-"

'BANG!'

Dela cynically comments cut off as abruptly the surrounding trees violently quake, sending numerous of deadly leaves to them. Fortunately for them, Kazami was already prepared as unleashed more power of his God bloodline, erecting a red ice barrier.

The leaves crashed like it got made of steel and yet it failed to leave a dent on Kazami ice shield.

"Amazing prediction, Redhead. Only instead of a monster, we're dealing with killer trees." Brenda taunted Dela, who just clicked her teeth in return.

"We've been at it for a while now, and the only thing we came across was sixth level beast. Furthermore, with our speed, we're undoubtedly in the depths of the starter zone. Even now, all I can sense is sixth level beasts hiding behind these trees." Lun Yuo said her thinking getting Mara to respond with,

"At our levels, we rarely even went to the edge of the outskirts parts of the starter zone. And at most we encounter third level Heaven Ruler beasts or the infrequent weak fourth level ones. We must be nearing the middle zone at this level."

"I see, you know these Heaven Ruler beasts are much smarter then I give them credit for. That ape beasts surely would've killed us easily if we were weak, and I could see it; these monkey beasts hiding realize we're more than troublesome, which is why they didn't attack again." Kazami thought out loud as he and everyone else in the red ice barrier was relaxed.

"From my senses, I can tell once we eat one of these plums, we can soar to the-now, you guys!!" Kuzumi interrupted herself as she and Kazami lit up on their hands and blasted a huge red and blue lightning Qi palm, respectively.

Lun Yuo threw out a brightly glowing purple green rose while Brenda from her fingers, blasted a white golden sword of Qi.

Mara group was confused about why the Kazami team fired from the bushes in a random direction; a huge Dark Qi palm gushed out to clash with the four attacks heading towards the bush.

'BOOOOM!'

The mighty clash of powers cancels each other out as floor quacked nearly sending Mara group to the ground.

Now Kazami and the girls got severe as from the ruined bushes stood an all black-clothed man with a blank look in his eyes.

"Tch, the ninth level, huh? This will be a bit troublesome." Kazami lowly breathed out as Mara group was utter stupidity hearing him.

"Hmmm, this might take some time." The man stated as he gushed out a tremendous Dark Qi aura making the surrounding go chaotic.
