--- Chapter 111 ---

Everyone watched the beautiful-faced assassin with complicated expressions. After all, they expected a name, not a serial number.

"What do you mean by Number 6931?" Yi Xian inquired curiously.

Number 6931 stared at them and clicked her tongue, "It's my name after being born into this world. Everyone in this world is the same as the Great Sky God created us and gave us a mark."

'No matter how I see it, you're just a product with labeling.' Baek Ain thought while releasing a sigh. He couldn't blame this fellow because she probably has stayed in Sage Kingdom Secret Realm for her entire life.

Then again, a person with Great Sky God as a title couldn't be an ordinary person.

Is it Saint Expert Realm?

Or possibly Dou God Expert Realm.

After one hour of questions, Baek Ain and his companion's expressions changed solemnly. Number 6931 is a human, like them(besides two beast tribe's elders and Cai Lin), but they were trapped in this place and followed Great Sky God's guidance to survive.

They have experienced three cycles of life and somewhat equal to three hundred years outside the world. The people in this Secret Realm mate with each other to create Great Sky God's vessel, which disregards their origin.

It doesn't matter what clan they used to be after three hundred years of incest. They couldn't determine much about their ancestors.

Damn, this place is Alabama State. But for Cultivators.

Of course, living in a Secret Realm isn't as good as one thought.

Number 6931 explained that once in a half-cycle, the Great Beast shall come and reduce their numbers by half. Only the strongest out of the strongest will stay and become the guards of this place.

The weak will become nutritions for the lands.

She sometimes used the term "Defective." on her fellow brethren like it was nothing, meaning that one group of people isn't suitable to receive Great Sky God's will.

The "Defective." should be connected to their Incestious Way of Surviving over three hundred years. Even though they have refined their physique to perfect it and have "insanely." good genes, there are always one or two horrible results because of continuous inbreeding.

From Number 6931's statement, their mightier expert was only 5-Star Dou Venerate, and he died recently from heart disease. He was young, only 23 years old.

Still, a 5-Star Dou Venerate at 23 is a sensational achievement.

Even though he couldn't get compared to Baek Ain because it would be unfair, this guy is way better than anyone of the younger generations.

"Now... The last question." Baek Ain looked down at Number 6931 and lifted her chin. "Why are you so willing to reveal this information?"

Number 6931 blushed and replied softly, "I-It's because you are more handsome than my brothers."

"..." The six ladies on Baek Ain's side stared at her in disbelief.

But they can't deny her straightforward statement because Baek Ain is a hottie indeed. Baek Ain is tall, handsome, and overly powerful on top of that.

Even Yafei and Lan Rou couldn't believe the plain-looking boy they used to know became like this. They are used to it now but would occasionally tease him about it.

'I don't like the direction of this conversation.' A wry smile appeared on Baek Ain's face.

He shook his head and tried to seize more, "That's not the only reason, right?"

The blushing face of Number 6931 becomes even redder. She dodged Baek Ain's gaze and answered, "W-Well, you're also the strongest mate potential I have seen."

"Our child should bear your strong genes and become a powerhouse in the future. It's more of a tradition because once in half-cycle, we would hold a hunting game to catch a potential mate."

"Even if the target is dead, we could still extract the seed, so..."

The faces of the ladies on Baek Ain's side become incredibly cold when hearing Number 6931's words.

"I will kill her-!" Cai Lin stretched her hand.

Baek Ain caught her hand casually and said, "Stop, let her finish."

Number 6931 gulped nervously and continued, "So I decided to break the tradition alongside my sisters and brothers."

"W-We wanted freedom, you see... However, the gate of heaven only opened occasionally in the past three cycles." After hearing her statement, the other assassin nodded their head frantically.

"Yet you shot an arrow to my head." Baek Ain sighed helplessly.

Number 6931 lowered her head and mumbled, "But you deflect it so easily..."

'If I couldn't deflect such a slow arrow, I would have been dead many times at this point.' Baek Ain rolled his eyes.

...

...

After planting parasites inside the assassin's bodies, Baek Ain told Yi Xian Rou to nullify her poison. And without further ado, they escorted Baek Ain and his companions out of the Chasing Sky Forest.

Chasing Sky Forest is a large-scale array that utilizes a massive range of branches and countless leaves to create an inescapable net. No one could fly in this area, even Half-Saint Experts.

Of course, Baek Ain won't leave the forest without any gain.

[Ding! You have learned. "Chasing Sky Forest." Array Formation]

'Nice.' Baek Ain smiled slightly.

"Hmm?"

Baek Ain felt something forceful on the front and lifted his head, seeing a majestic-looking gate. His Ashen's Eyes couldn't pierce through the thick gate or the wall surrounding it.

The corner of his mouth twitched as this place fits the Sage Kingdom Secret Realm's name.

"Ain, look down." Yafei suddenly called him.

Baek Ain glanced down and saw the entire kingdom floating above the sky. "You gotta be kidding me..." He whispered in amazement.

"Is it another array?"

Number 6931 and her fellow assassins chanted something silently, but Baek Ain could catch their lips' movement. He frowned and watched the gate open, revealing another Wormhole.

"Let's go." She said to Baek Ain's group.

Leaping into the portal, Baek Ain and others entered the inner core area of the Sage Kingdom Secret Realm.

Baek Ain opened his eyes and saw one thousand miles of land covered with purely marbled white stones. The buildings are more similar to a Western style in the early years, with towers, decently massive buildings, and a massive clock tower in the center.

The area got separated by three layers of walls. They are currently in the utmost outer layer, then the inner layer, and the core area where the clock tower exists.

Well, those aren't bothering Baek Ain. This landmass is no different than Fallen Orchid Sect and other areas he used to live on for months.

What bothers Baek Ain the most is the clock tower.

And just like that, Baek Ain's group already caught the attention of the native people. They observed him and the six ladies like predators who eyed the prey.

BOOM!

Baek Ain released his bloodlust, making the surrounding male shiver instinctively. They better think twice before touching his woman, or he wouldn't keep his blade sheathed.

His actions also make the opposite gender shiver, but the effect was "actually." leaning more toward attraction than fear.

Ignoring them, Baek Ain followed Number 6931 to the Core Area. They traveled on foot and arrived at the clock tower after one hour of walking.

[Ding! A Great Aura detected]

[Do you want to Sign In to the Great Sky Clock Tower?]

'Yes.' Baek Ain answered internally.

[Ding! You have obtained 1x Great Sky Controlling Array Technique(SSS), 1x Broken Clock Hand(SS), and 1x Great Sky Sage's Insight(SS+)]

"6931, why did you bring outsiders to our temple?" A stern voice suddenly appeared. A man who appeared to be in his late thirties walked out from the clock tower and faced them straightforwardly.

"Senior 421." Number 6931 bowed respectfully.

"I have encountered people from the outside world. They can stop my arrows and are eligible to enter the clock tower according to our tradition."

The man frowned and said, "That's not up to you..."

A sword manifested in his hand, releasing a baleful roar.

"Outsider, you cannot enter the temple unless you receive my sword strike."

Baek Ain was uninterested in his challenge and answered, "Sure, do your worst."

"Hmph! You'll regret it!" Number 421 flashed at Baek Ain and swung his sword.

Clank!

Baek Ain lazily caught the sword with his bare hand. There is a hint of green light on his skin.

Crack!

"..." Number 421 watched his sword getting shattered into pieces.

"Y-You..."

Baek Ain grabbed Number 421's face and slammed him onto the ground, causing the white-marbled floor to shake violently. If this were any other ground, it would crack because of Baek Ain's physical force.

BOOM!

Number 421 fainted on the spot. And many others come from the Clock Tower.

"Halt! Drop down your weapon!" A majestic voice directed to Baek Ain.

A purple-haired beauty with dim black-steel eyes jumped down from the clock tower's highest floor. The beauty landed right before Baek Ain and gave him a doubtful glare.

"S-S-Senior 01!" Number 6931 and others bowed toward the beauty.

Baek Ain raised his hands innocently and smirked, "What weapon?"

The beauty frowned as she violently grabbed Baek Ain's hand, but no matter how much she tried. She couldn't move the firm boulder that Baek Ain was.

"You six and this brat... Follow me into the temple." She pointed her finger at Baek Ain and his companions.

[Ding! You have triggered a quest]
