Chapter 125 - 125 Opening of the Vermilion realm

Both Shun Long and fatty Fu then quickly exited the tent, as they stared at the flying whale above their heads.

On the whale's back, there were many bald monks dressed in golden robes.

The whale that the monks were on, kept flying forward until it stopped in an empty patch of land in front of the 'floating cloud sect's' campsite.

Fatty Fu looked at the golden robes of the monks and said

''Brother! This, is one of the biggest superpowers of our Desolate East, the 'Golden Buddha temple'!''

Shun Long had never heard of the 'Golden Buddha temple' before, but based on the fact that they had a Nascent Soul level expert, as well as a rank 4 'Flying blue whale', he understood that this temple was far stronger when compared to the 'floating cloud sect'.

When Liu Jian saw the huge whale stopping a few hundred meters away from the 'floating cloud sect's' camp, he immediately took a few Elders, as well as Liu Changpun, and went to pay his respects to the 'Golden Buddha temple' experts.

After seeing the bald monk who sat at the top of the 'Flying blue whale', Liu Jian bowed his head as he clasped his hands and said

''Greetings to the head priest!''

The Elders behind him all followed him as they said

''Greetings to the head priest!''

This bald monk was the head priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple', an early Nascent Soul level expert, as well as the strongest expert of the temple. 

Looking at the bowing Liu Jian, the head priest clasped his hands as he said

''Benefactor Liu, no need to be so polite.''

Liu Jian bowed again with clasped hands as he responded

''It's only natural for our 'floating cloud sect' to come and pay our respects to the temple''

After the 'floating cloud sect', there were many other sects who also came to pay their respects to the 'Golden Buddha temple'. 

Fu Li left Shun Long's tent as well, as he too had to pay his respects to the temple with the Elders from his Fu family.

Sitting cross legged on his tent, Shun Long spent the next few days either cultivating, or trying to comprehend the Dao of Time.

Although most people would start comprehending a Dao when they entered the Heaven grade, there were still some geniuses like Fu Peizhi who had a high affinity with certain Daos and could start comprehending them earlier than the rest.

As Shun Long sat down inside his tent, little Black's words echoed inside his head

''Master, to start comprehending a Dao means to start feeling its existence around you. Most Daos, like the Dao of Water, or the Dao of Wind, are easier to sense since they exist in certain parts of nature, while others like the Dao of Ice or the Dao of Thunder are much harder to sense.

Since master wants to comprehend the Dao of Time, then this will be even harder.''

Shun Long understood that, it was an arduous task for an earth, or even a Heaven grade cultivator, to start sensing and comprehend the Dao of Time. However, thanks to his golden eyes as well as the 'Stone of Time' inside his spiritual space, Shun Long's affinity with the element of time gave him hope that he could succeed.

4 days soon passed, and Shun Long spent each day either cultivating or trying to connect with the Dao of Time. 

Although his cultivation was slowly rising, it would still take a few more days until he reached the middle of rank 7 in earth grade.

Finally, today was the day that the 'Vermilion realm' was supposed to open.

Liu Jian's voice sounded in everyone's ears as he shouted

''GATHER HERE!''

A few minutes later, seeing that all of the disciples and Elders had gathered in front of his tent, Liu Jian nodded his head as he said

''The 'Vermilion realm' will open in a few hours. All of you, follow me.''

It wasn't just the 'floating cloud sect' who had gathered its disciples, but the rest of the sects as well.

Shun Long and the rest of the disciples, followed Liu Jian in front of a huge canyon, where the 'Golden Buddha temple' and a few other sects had already arrived.

Black clouds had already started filling the sky, when all of a sudden, an unexpected loud laughter reverberated throughout the silent canyon.

''HAHAHAHA!''

Everyone turned their heads towards the source of this laughter, and saw 2 people flying in the sky, as they quickly approached the 'Golden Buddha temple's' group.

When these 2 people arrived in front of the head priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple', everyone could finally make out their appearance.

An old man was leading the way while a black-haired young man was following behind him, both of them wearing blue robes embroidered with snow patterns.

The old man looked at the head priest in front of him, and clasped his hands as he said

''You must be the head priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple's' branch in the Desolate East. I assume that you can understand who we are.''

The head priest's eyes widened when he saw the 2 men's robes and clasping his hands he replied

''Benefactors of the Snowcloud country, may this humble monk ask, what is it that you seek to find here in the Desolate east?''

The young man dressed in blue robes laughed as he heard this and said

''What we seek? Hahahaha! Aren't you all here for the same reason? The inheritance of the expert who left the secret realm?''

Every sect master's eyes widened as they heard this, before they turned their heads to look at the head priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple'. 

Since the head priest was the strongest out of everyone else here, he could be considered the representative of all these sects.

The old man dressed in blue robes looked at the young man behind him and said

''Your Highness, although the rest of the sects here are puny, the 'Golden Buddha temple' does have some standing in our Eastern continent. Please allow me to handle this.''

The young man thought for a bit before nodding his head.

The blue-robed old man then looked at the head priest, completely disregarding every other sect master around them as he said

''Head priest, I am certain that you know the relationship between your 'Golden Buddha temple' and my Snowcloud country. This is the sixth prince of my Snowcloud country, Yang Gongsun. If you agree to His Highness' request to enter the secret realm, then we will not forget th-.''

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Before the old man in blue robes could finish his words, huge rumbling sounds were heard from the sky as the black clouds had all gathered above the canyon.

Finally, a huge bolt of thunder, followed by many smaller bolts of lightning bombarded the canyon.

BOOOOM

As the bolt of thunder entered inside the canyon, a gigantic pillar of light came from the canyon's depths, as it pierced through the clouds in the sky. When an Elder from one of the sects saw this pillar of light, he couldn't help shouting in excitement

''The 'Vermilion realm' has opened!''
