Jiu Bai Nian ( 900 years) ago there was a mad cultivator from unknown origin who bought terror both to the righteous and demon cultivators.

It was said that his talent was unmatched and there was no one who could rival him.

Such a shame that there was no detail record about him and the only thing that people knew about him was from the record talismans that caught a glimpse of his silhouette during a battle.

The storyteller looked at the customers who were listening to him attentively which makes him please.

So, he put on a mysterious air and looked at them with a cunning smile " do you know why I told you his story when you guys already know about it? "

The chubby youth sitting not far away from him spoke up " because every time we hear it, his tale leave us with fear and mystery that we could not fathom"

The storyteller gently shook his head.

Seeing everyone looking at him without blinking he finally said " You guys might not know, but...it is said that when that mad cultivator appeared there seem to be a glimpses of a beast silhouette that matches a Ancient Qióngqí beast.

It is said that Qióngqí is a monstrous beast with a tiger like body, large black wings, sharp fangs, glowing red eyes, covered in dark fur and ancient runic patterns, standing amid storm clouds, ominous aura."

Hearing the words of the storyteller, people shuddered because of how vividly he had described it.

"Fourteen years ago the noble prince from the Xian domain happen to have similar case with that mad cultivator.

That is, a Qióngqí beast appeared when he was born! How strange of a coincidence!

And it was said that the noble prince didn't shed a single tear or make any noise and the people almost thought he was dead.

That is not the only strange thing about him, during his birth there was not a single living animals near his birth chamber for about 10 miles away.

So strange! As if he is born to be stood alone without any companion!!

And the most strangest thing is that even a Tiān Xīng Guān sect master Xing Tianji who is a Heavenly Fate Observer couldn't even read his star chart, as if heavens itself was forbidding."

He didn't have to say further, people with their imagination could fill up what the storyteller was implying.

Even though it was still full of loopholes people couldn't bring out any reasons to point that out.

Who cares if that young prince was another mad cultivator or his reincarnation, what they care about was their enjoyment in the gossip!!

But the possibility of another mad cultivator might emerge still sent the chill down their spine. If that were to happen.... just thinking about it make them shudder!!

After all the mad cultivator couldn't be said to be neither good nor bad.

So, people couldn't completely hate him nor could they stop their fear and admiration.

After saying what he wanted to say, the storyteller waited for the people, knowing fully well about their doubt, but he remains silent.

Just like he had thought, someone raised their doubts " if that's the case, everyone in the cultivation world would have known such big news"

" Yes, such a big news would surely could not be hidden for so long "

The storyteller didn't say anything and just left after saying that, after all it was their choice to believe it or not.

Seeing that the old man just left without trying to explain himself people started to waver, after all, he was a famous storyteller who have fame and no one would be stupid enough to spread a false rumor about the Xian family.

******

Meanwhile, the protagonist of the story was deep within the Clouded Yinwood forest.

Which was famous for its rare treasure and herbs, even though it was tempting no sane cultivators dare to step into it as a rare thing comes with danger, the forest was full of trick and danger lurking in every corner.

The Clouded Yinwood forest was not only famous for its rare treasures and danger but also because it is always covered in fog making it difficult to see what lies within the forest and also for the rich Yin qi making it a perfect place for demonic cultivators.

But even the demonic cultivators also didn't dare step into it recklessly as the more tempting it was the more life-threatening it was.

The once still forest was now filled with echos of beast roaring and slashing of flesh and within a few minutes the forest returns to its natural tranquility.

The silence of the forest was not peaceful, it was heavy, suffocating.

At that moment a pale hand emerged from the fog, slowly the veil of fog parted and showed the youth clad in black robe covered in crimson blood.

His waist length Silver hair mixed with blood and his purple pupils still like a frozen lake without any ripples of emotions makes him seen even more unapproachable.

In the world of cultivation everyone was beautiful as one cultivates, the impurity inside the body was eliminated as well as reshape the body.

But the person covered in blood had an extraordinary looks that left no room for anyone to rival easily, if only he didn't have oppressive aura making people think twice before getting close to him.

This person was none other than the noble prince from Xian domain, Xian Taiyi.

After his fight with a mid-tier beast he didn't feel happy or a sense of accomplishment.

If it were others in his place they would have been overjoyed and would have brag about it to others.

Xian Taiyi : " too weak" after saying this he left the Clouded Yinwood forest.

His words were outright arrogant

and if others were to hear it, they would have fainted out of anger.

*****

Xian Taiyi was not a person to settle in one place, moving from place to place.

Even he himself didn't know what he was looking for, only a strange feeling that he must do something.

After leaving Clouded Yinwood forest he set off to another destination, The Fallen Immortals tomb. This was a secret realm open once every ten years.

Not far away from him in a secluded place a youth was watching his every move without blinking, he didn't know if the Xian Prince notice him, seeing him walking away make him unsettled.

The attendant of the youth looked at his young master, hesitating in order not to upset him.

The youth seeing his attendant troubled face could only sigh " don't do anything, in cultivation only one's afford mattered and even if you use underhanded tricks it won't work and only harm ourselves"

He knew well in his heart that there couldn't be anyone who could match him among their peers.

Sigh, even now he still trembles thinking back of that day.

The root of the cause was all started three years ago, he was still reckless and arrogant because of his talent, and that's when he met him for the first time at the celebration banquet, back then he was arrogant just because he was the pride of the family and challenged him and was mercilessly defeated within a few breaths.

Along with the defeat his pride was also shattered and from that day on he never neglected his training.

" Even after years of training I'm still behind him." the youth turn back, after all he still had to make preparations for the secret realm.

Ten days later, at the Floating Isle.

The place was already crowded with many cultivators, Xian Taiyi wearing cloak walk past through the crowd without glancing around at the places, unlike others who was curiously looking around or buying items for their safety.

Just when he was about to step into the back alley he heard a bitter cry for help.

The cultivators who was always bragging about righteousness was now avoiding the fellow cultivators who was making trouble for the mortals.

They could only shake their heads and sigh, it wasn't that they didn't want to help them it was just that the opponent was someone from a prominent clan, and they dare not act against them for their own benefit.

Xian Taiyi didn't like to involve in other business yet even after such commotion he didn't show any sign of leaving.

Seconds later the cultivators who was making things difficult for the mortals was sent flying and knock up onto invisible wall and fainted.

Seeing this scene everyone was stunned, and he just calmly looked back and went behind the alley and teleported directly to the back mountain.

His past experience of staying in the inn wasn't good as some cultivators would keep making trouble for him, and he didn't have time to deal with them.

As someone who loves peace, it was troublesome to deal with every single one of them.

*****

The Secret realm doesn't have any rules, but after all those years of not finding any rare treasures suitable for the higher level cultivators the high ranking cultivator stopped appearing and instead became a secret realm for youths.

It wasn't that the big shots of the prominent clan wasn't greedy, after all the secret realm was unique and they wouldn't dare let it slip, but after years of not finding anything special they give up.

As for how unique? Everyone in the cultivation world knows that when a secret realm appears there wasn't any special fluctuations and most of the secret realm was found after years of appearing.

As for this secret realm, there was a dramatic fluctuations of space before it's appearance.

And the most important about this was that unlike other secret realm, it has a name inscribed in golden above it's entrance, while other secret realm was named by cultivators.

When the hidden power house appeared they saw a long elegant words, The Fallen Immortals tomb at the front of the entrance and were bewildered for a while.

At that time many cultivators fought like a cat and mouse in order to get inside the realm.

Alas, their fight was for nothing and left them with disappointment.

For many years they tried their luck but gained nothing so, finally they completely lost hope.

It was useless for higher cultivators but it was important for lower cultivators.

So, many of the cultivators seize this chance to gain experience and connect with people of their same peers.

While others were connecting with big families, Xian Taiyi was peacefully meditating under the willow tree.

He was going to breakthrough again, in a matter of two or three days he'll be able to break through.

For the secret realm to open there were still seven days left, perfect.

He could easily level up and stablize.
