Accidentally Reincarnated in Cultivation World-Chapter 298: Hidden Realm

The whole day, Yu Xuan spent his time wandering across the floating island, familiarizing himself with every corner.

The massive territory was divided according to the ten peaks of the sect, with one special region constructed solely for the Discipline Committee, the overseers of all gate-related matters.

Everything involving the gates — entry, exit, emergencies, punishments was officially under their authority and approved by the Elders.

Yu Xuan patrolled the entire night without a real destination.

Just walking.

Observing.

Letting the chilly, floating-island breeze clear his mind.

He didn’t encounter any major incidents but he did notice a few people secretly tailing him.

Or rather, attempting to.

Yu Xuan decided to let them follow for now.

He had plans for them later.

As he walked beneath a floating bridge, a system notification blinked into his vision.

[Reverse Causality Detection Bug Removed]

A single sentence.

No explanation.

Yu Xuan raised a brow.

’Status.’

A familiar black-gold interface lit up in his vision.

Yu Xuan’s eye twitched when he saw the new title.

Lightning Holder.

"Well... I do have a bunch of lightnings," he muttered.

Then his gaze drifted to his age.

He was officially sixteen now.

Before entering seclusion, his birthday had been near he’d turned fifteen then.

A little over a year had passed.

Now, sixteen.

He chuckled wryly.

’It’s been six years since I first became an adult... How nostalgic.’

He remembered the day he awakened in this world, no heavenly phenomenon appeared.

No special vision.

He’d been slightly disappointed at that time.

"Two more years until I’m legally an adult again..." he sighed.

According to Earthly standards, he was still underage.

According to cultivation standards... age was practically irrelevant.

He stared at the rising sun, troubled by the most absurd dilemma:

Which standard should I follow to be an adult?

Should I be an adult now, or when I turn eighteen?

After struggling for a moment, he exhaled.

"Forget it. This is the cultivation world, time will decide for me."

The sun slowly rose above the floating island.

Just then, his medallion buzzed.

A message appeared in the group Yu Xuan himself had created.

[Yu Clan’s Prodigies]

[The Sword God: I, The Sword God, have stepped onto the floating islands! I will challenge the Young Master for the Young Master Position!!!]

Yu Xuan laughed lightly.

"Hahaha... Mo Lin is challenging my position again."

Mo Lin, alias The Sword God now, was one of the top talents in the Yu Clan.

And extremely competitive.

"Well, I suppose I should humble him soon," Yu Xuan said, stretching.

’Will the others come too?’ he wondered.

Thinking back, of the few hundred geniuses selected from the entire realm, nine had been from the Yu Clan alone.

Yu Xuan frowned.

’Is my clan secretly some terrifying ancient hidden-clan?’

He thought about it.

Then dismissed the idea.

"No way. If that were true, the old man wouldn’t be so stingy sometimes."

Eternal Star Heavenly World

Meanwhile, far away in a training courtyard, Yu Changming was overseeing Yu Long Qingqing or rather, Little Blue’s training.

Suddenly.

Achoo!

Yu Changming froze.

"...Who is thinking about me?"

At his cultivation level, sneezing didn’t just happen.

Someone was definitely thinking or gossiping about him.

He clicked his tongue.

"Tsk. Little Blue, your posture is wrong again."

He walked over and corrected his stance, completely unaware his son was blaming his thriftiness across realms.

Back on the Floating Island.

Yu Xuan messaged Number One, and they agreed to meet at a remote location.

Yu Xuan then moved like a streak of light, soon reaching the outer region of Myriad Path Peak’s territory.

From there, he followed the coordinates Number One sent him and arrived at a secluded spot hidden by natural formations and immediately felt déjà vu.

It resembled the hidden area entrance where he once caught his master pretending to be a scholarly senior.

Different layout, same shady vibes.

Waiting inside were Number One, Two, Three, and Four.

All dressed entirely in black, faces covered, looking like a group preparing for highly questionable activities.

Yu Xuan stared at them.

"...Hey. Did you lie to me? Are we robbing someone?"

"Boss, you’ve arrived!" Number One said, tossing something toward him.

Yu Xuan caught it, a small bangle-like artifact.

He infused a bit of Qi into it.

In an instant, darkness wrapped around him, altering his appearance and suppressing his presence.

Even his clan robes were masked behind the black veil.

"This is disguising me," Yu Xuan muttered. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Number Four, regaining his scholarly tone, explained.

"Boss, the land originally belonged to the extreme northern region of the sect. Due to... certain events as you know, the entire island was moved here and there is a hidden realm situated in this area."

Yu Xuan nodded.

"Let’s go then."

With that, all five disappeared into a massive boulder which swallowed them.

A moment Later.

Six figures arrived in the same spot.

Among them, a green-haired girl stood at the front, clearly the leader.

She narrowed her eyes.

"This is unexpected. They’ve already entered, we must go in and capture the demon."

One of her teammates hesitated.

"But Senior Sister... the reinforcements—"

"The reinforcements can WAIT!" she snapped.

"We need to enter this secre— I mean we need to capture the demon."

"Senior Sister your thoughts just leaked."

"Shut up! I need to avenge myself!"

The group pushed forward.

And so, this hidden realm was suddenly becoming very crowded.
