Heavenly Dao Child 239 Eden

Ryuu sighed as he sipped on a glass full of juice, as the others were doing the same but their glass had alcohol in them he was already regretting coming to this place, 'What kind of fun is there to spend time getting drunk I will never understand although the food is good, but not as heavenly as the food I got to eat during the banquet, ah if only I could get some of that.'

Ismene turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, "So what kind of training are you going through in order to succeed Senior Antariskh?"

Ryuu was taken aback by that, 'What does she mean by that? What am I succeeding?', he coughed as he calmed his expression as he spoke, "Well Big sis..err Senior Antariskh has very busy schedule as such she has very less time to train me as such most of the time my teachers are the one who are training me, with Senior Antariskh helping in between from time to time.", while inwardly it was a different matter, 'I see so that was her angle, instead of attacking me like her junior sister she is fishing for information, clever and those other senior are surely helping her as well directly or indirectly, tch, I really shouldn't have arrived here.'

Ryuu as such decided to gamble, "So who amongst you are heir as well?"

Ismene spoke curiously at that as she spoke, "Well all of us who were present at the meeting are, and should you not be aware of such information Ryuu?"

Ryuu: "I am really sorry senior but there were so many seniors present and I know only a handful of them as such I was unaware of who amongst you all were present."

Rudie: "So Ryuu what do you wish to join the Immortal Phoenix Army?"

Ryuu: "As much as I want to I believe I still lack in strength as such even if I would love to I think it will be detrimental to both the army and me."

Cezary nodded at that as he spoke, "You are much more intelligent than I was, when I had reached Golden Immortal level I ran away from home to join the army thinking about glory and what not but I really opened my eyes, no matter what one says that place even breaks people from the strongest of people driving them insane as such Ryuu the more you wait before going there the better it is."

At that the mood plummeted amongst them as Zywia spoke, "From what I have heard, you all will be going back to the front lines."

Cezary gave a tired sigh as he spoke, "Yes, it is troublesome but let us not discuss about such morbid things, let us move on from it."

As such they changed the topic going completely as Ryuu started feeling completely like a third leg, all of sudden his attention was drawn by Cezary who spoke in a scolding tone, "Absolutely not Zywia , I forbid it."

Zywia gave an irritating glare as he spoke, "Oh and who is going to stop it, you? I have been preparing for the 'Hidden Space' for so many decades and now you are telling me I will not try to explore it, how dare you?", with that she slowly started to leak her cultivation aura.

As Ryuu cleared his throat bringing everyone attention to him, "Excuse me but what is this place you are speaking about?"

Hearing him speaking the siblings quickly withdrew their aura, after all it would not look good if they accidently harmed Ryuu.

Rasime: "They are talking about 'Eden', a hidden space like no other."

Ryuu looked confused at that as he spoke, "'Eden', I have never heard of it."

Ismene spoke mockingly, "What is this you are disciple of …"

Only to be stopped by Hu Ruogang, "Please sister he is only a Void Immortal level cultivator and it would be a long time before he can safely enter as such I can safely say his masters did not find it necessary to inform him about something he would most likely never see until millennia later."

Zywia: "Brother Ryuu, 'Eden' is a hidden space, that opens every 12 thousand years, no one knows who created it and why, but it is a Utopia for cultivators."

Cezary snorted at that as he spoke, "Yeah Utopia, if you mean by overlooking the death of about 95% of the cultivators who venture into it then yes a Utopia indeed."

Leszek smiled as he spoke, "Hidden space has items that are cultivators' wet dream, various exotic plants, herbs, animals and what not, each and everything that is required for cultivators to grow are found there, in huge quantities, anyone who ventures in there and safely returned is guaranteed to have an increase in their cultivation by leaps and bounds."

Ryuu frowned at that as he spoke, "The place seems too good to be true there must be some conditions attached to it."

Rudie looked pleased at Ryuu's query as he spoke, "You have a nice head Ryuu, the condition is that only those below Celestial may enter, and by below it means that even normal mortals can enter but the enemies inside it are dangerous even to Peak Mystic Immortal Emperors so what chance do others lower than them have."

Ryuu was now interested at that as he spoke, "So when will the place open again?"

Zywia spoke with a big smile, "About 60 years from now on, the entrance of the hidden space appears every 12,000 years at random places and now it is time for it again, soon enough there will be disturbance in the vicinity of its arrival and we will know about its exact location, no one has been able to figure out the exact location of the hidden space yet but soon it will call us to it through creating massive space quakes and electromagnetic storms."

Ryuu absorbed it with eyes wide as he spoke, "So there must be map of that place right."

Cezary shook his head as he spoke, "It is not possible to map the place, and every time it opens the inside is always changes, along with the trials you have to undergo inside it."

Hu Ruogang: "I had visited that place along with a group of friends once, it has multiple areas inside it but if you want to move from one area to another you have to fulfill some requirement such as killing some exceptionally strong being, no one knows how many areas are there but the record for maximum area visited is 10 in fact during my time I only managed to visit 4, the fifth are my friends went in each one peak level Mystic Immortal Emperors they had formed a group of 20, yet only one survived. I do know what happened but it drove everyone insane as they killed each other off, even the survivor was a raving lunatic at the end of the day."

Ismene gave a faraway look as she spoke, "I had a distant cousin who was like my own brother he tried to cheat the place, he was half way to the Celestial realm, he was very strong yet he fell before my eyes at the third floor, because of some people became jealous and greedy. The place is very dangerous not because of the traps or denizens present inside it but because of our fellow competitors not to mention the people of other realms."

Ryuu's eyes widen at that as he spoke, "What do you mean by other realms?"

Cezary, "That place is a link between every realm that once made the great realm of Pangea, as such beings from various realms more often than not wonder in it. Some are dangerous enough to kill us whereas some are weak enough to die because of our presence alone."

Ryuu had stars shining in his eyes as he thought, 'How cool that place is people from other realms I wonder what kind of beings will there be.' conveniently forgetting how he nearly died by the hands of some 'cool beings' from another realm.
