155: Chapter 152 The Crescent Moon Secret Realm

"Secret Realm? What is that?" Fang Yu wondered inwardly.

However, Zhu Lingxuan did not explain much. She continued, "The entrance to the Secret Realm is located in Chenxing City. It takes one hour to get from Guanghan City to Chenxing City. You can rest or chat with each other..."

Pausing for a moment, Zhu Lingxuan continued, "Fang Yu wasn't at Xinyue Martial Arts University before, and he doesn't understand many things. Williams, Zhuang Yiliu, and Mo Yuan, try your best to answer his questions."

"Yes." Williams, Zhuang Yiliu, and the other three obediently replied.

Even a Genius like Williams dared not show the slightest bit of impudence in front of a First-Class Sky-Patrol Envoy like Zhu Lingxuan.

"I will come out when the spaceship lands." With a flash, Zhu Lingxuan entered a private lounge at the back of the cabin, and the door closed shortly after. The atmosphere inside the cabin instantly relaxed a lot.

"Fang Yu."

"Let's reintroduce ourselves. I am Jonah Williams." The blond youth smiled and extended his hand again, "I hope we can have plenty of exchanges in the next six or seven years." Fang Yu hurriedly reached out his hand.

Only then did Fang Yu notice that this super powerhouse, universally recognized by countless people for sweeping away all opponents at the Blue Moon High School Tournament, did not seem as arrogant as he was on the arena stage.

At least for now, his personality seemed quite mild.

"Six or seven years? What do you mean?" Fang Yu couldn't help asking.

His mind was full of questions.

Originally, he thought he was just going to pay respects to 'Flame Monarch Qin Tuo', but right now it didn't seem that simple.

"Fang Yu, it seems you really don't know anything at all," Zhuang Yiliu laughed. "Where we are going is the Secret Realm, also known as the 'Crescent Secret Realm', which is the highest Holy Land for Cultivation in the entire Blue Moon Alliance."

"Legend has it that this mysterious ruin was originally excavated by Senior Adam and later finally structured and constructed by Senior Ye Xinghe." Zhuang Yiliu said solemnly, "It is specifically used to Cultivate the absolute top geniuses of the entire civilization." "For instance, Xinyue Martial Arts University's 'Graduate School' is located within the Crescent Secret Realm, and the graduate students of Xinyue Martial Arts University all Cultivate in the Secret Realm."

Fang Yu was shocked to hear this.

No wonder he had never heard of it.

Listening to this, the Crescent Secret Realm was definitely an important stronghold within the Alliance.

"But aren't graduate students only here for two years?" Fang Yu asked doubtfully. "Williams just said six or seven years..."

"It's different," Zhuang Yiliu laughed.

"Most graduate students of Xinyue Martial Arts University can only stay for two years." Mo Yuan's voice was somewhat cold as he said calmly, "The Secret Realm quotas are extremely precious and very rare."

"In the Crescent Secret Realm, except for Starry Sky Martial Artists and some very special Sky-Patrol Martial Artists who can Cultivate there for a long time,"

"The remaining members of the Secret Realm are divided into two categories."

"One category is graduate students, who stay for two years, enter the Secret Realm every January, and must leave after two years; they are also known as 'ordinary members of the Secret Realm'." "The other category consists of core members of the Secret Realm, also known as combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs, meaning martial arts doctoral students. Once selected, they will immediately go to the Secret Realm to Cultivate," Mo Yuan said. "They can continue to Cultivate there until they are 30 years old, leaving only after the silver age bracket completely ends... Even if they become Sky-Patrol Martial Artists, they can still Cultivate there."

"Combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs? Martial arts doctoral students?" Fang Yu was dumbfounded.

Cultural doctoral students were very common.

But martial arts doctoral students? Fang Yu had never heard of them before.

"To Martial Artists, academic qualifications are just a title with no practical meaning; strength is the most important thing," Zhuang Yiliu said. "In short, the number of core members of the Secret Realm is extremely small... Even most Level 1 Starry Sky Seeds cannot get it."

Fang Yu clicked his tongue inwardly.

Was the difficulty this high?

"Are we all core members of the Secret Realm?" Fang Yu also reacted in an instant.

"Yes."

"Starry Sky Martial Artists all have privileges, and their Disciples... as long as the number is not too large, most of them can obtain the identity of core members of the Secret Realm. Of course, the Disciples' own strength cannot be too poor either." Zhuang Yiliu sighed with emotion, "In the first half of the year, a quota came out among the Seniors of Xinyue Martial Arts University, but unfortunately I failed to compete for it successfully."

"This time, becoming a Disciple under a Starry Sky Martial Artist allows us to go to the Secret Realm in advance."

"I just didn't expect that you would also be selected," Zhuang Yiliu laughed. "If the Senior students ranked ahead of you find out, haha, I'm afraid they'll be so angry they explode."

Fang Yu couldn't help smiling.

The Senior Level 1 Starry Sky Seeds were all Earth Martial Artists, and most of them had broken into the Peak battles this time. In terms of strength, they were all above him. Take Zhuang Yiliu for example; in terms of strength, she was not currently the number one person among the Seniors.

But in the end, the two people among the Senior students who obtained the quota for core members of the Secret Realm were the two of them.

"The Secret Realm quota has never been about absolute strength, but about potential," Williams smiled. "Since a Starry Sky Martial Artist chose Fang Yu... it proves that Fang Yu's potential must be astonishing."

Fang Yu smiled and didn't explain anything.

He was chosen most likely because of the 'Hundred-Aperture Star Sign'.

"The Crescent Secret Realm possesses the civilization's best auxiliary cultivation facilities and special resources," Zhuang Yiliu said. "Many resources are unique to the Secret Realm, and the outside world doesn't know about them at all."

"Most importantly, the Secret Realm has the best faculty in the entire civilization."

"Like us, it seems we are studying under Starry Sky Martial Artists... but during our cultivation process in the Secret Realm, many First-Class Sky-Patrol Envoys will also come to give lectures." Zhuang Yiliu's eyes shone brightly, "Even frequently, we can run into civilization-level leaders like Ye Xinghe, Adam, and Qin Tuo."

"In short."

"This is a Holy Land for Cultivation," Zhuang Yiliu smiled. "Continuing to Cultivate in it until the age of 30—as far as I know, the vast majority of core members, as long as they don't die in life-and-death sharpening, will find it very easy to eventually become First-Class Sky-Patrol Envoys."

"Even achieving the rank of a Starry Sky Martial Artist."

Fang Yu held his breath.

This so-called Crescent Secret Realm was clearly a gathering place for super geniuses... To become a core member, aside from Disciples of Starry Sky Martial Artists like himself, I'm afraid the top existences among Xinyue Martial Arts University's graduate students would also have a chance.

Thinking of this,

"Zhuang Yiliu, I remember you said before that you had all already taken Sky-Patrol Martial Artists as your masters?" Fang Yu asked with slight doubt, "Can that be changed?"

"Yes."

"Among the community of Martial Artists, having multiple teachers is very common," Williams smiled, speaking fluent Xia language. "Like me, in middle school, I took an Earth Martial Artist as my master."

"I respect my teacher very much."

"However, as my strength increased, my previous teacher could no longer guide me on the martial Dao. Surely I can't be barred from choosing a new teacher?" Williams shook his head, "That wouldn't be reasonable."

Fang Yu was pensive.

"Taking a new teacher has two conditions."

"First, it requires the consent of the original teacher," Zhuang Yiliu continued to explain. "Under normal circumstances, the original teacher will not stop them." Fang Yu couldn't help nodding.

If a Starry Sky Martial Artist wanted to take a Disciple, even if a Sky-Patrol Martial Artist were unwilling, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to have any objections.

"Second, there can only be one personal teacher. If one was originally a Personal Disciple, a new agreement needs to be drawn up... giving up many rights and interests as a Personal Disciple, such as inheriting estates and the like, basically equivalent to reverting to an Inner Sect Disciple," Zhuang Yiliu said. "However, as a Disciple, one still has to shoulder many obligations as a Personal Disciple."

Fang Yu suddenly understood.

This was the core of it.

There is no free lunch in this world.

Want to take a stronger teacher? You can! But you have to give up some original benefits, and not a single bit of the obligations you should shoulder can be reduced.

Such a system would probably also reduce some of the worries of Earth Martial Artists and Sky-Patrol Martial Artists... After all, once a Personal Disciple cultivated with painstaking effort becomes even more outstanding and cuts ties to take an even stronger person as a master,

if there were no guarantees at all, I'm afraid not many powerhouses would be willing to Cultivate others wholeheartedly anymore.

Time passed.

Regarding Fang Yu's various puzzles, Zhuang Yiliu, Williams, and Mo Yuan answered them one by one with considerable patience... Although the three of them had never been to the Crescent Secret Realm,

having stayed at Xinyue Martial Arts University for a long time and previously cultivated following Sky-Patrol Martial Artists, the various secret information they knew was much more than Fang Yu's. Under this exchange,

it also broadened Fang Yu's horizons and knowledge a lot, giving him a relatively vague concept of the upcoming 'Crescent Secret Realm'.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

The spaceship entered Chenxing City. Compared with Guanghan City, Chenxing City was much smaller in scale, but it now housed a population of nearly ten million and was also a top-ranking large city on New Moon.

Finally.

The spaceship landed slowly.

Everyone walked off the spaceship.

"Is this the legendary headquarters of the Pioneer Group?" Fang Yu looked up.

Not far away was a huge tower-shaped main building, silvery-white throughout. Fang Yu estimated visually that its height should exceed 500 meters. The top of the building thrust straight into the highest point of the city's protective shield. The huge tower-shaped main building had no decorative lines, save for a striking vertical black pattern running from top to bottom.

This was the logo of the Pioneer Group.

The Pioneer Group was a Martial Artist group established by Adam, the first Starry Sky Martial Artist of the Blue Moon Civilization and now the second strongest person in the civilization, and it was also the first Martial Artist group in the Alliance.

In terms of fame and strength, the Pioneer Group could be said to be on par with the Xinghe Group, only slightly weaker by a fraction.

"This way, please."

Someone had already been waiting here to guide Zhu Lingxuan, Fang Yu, and their party into a building next to the main building of the Pioneer Group, undergoing layer upon layer of identity verification. Along the way, there were Martial Artists everywhere.

There were also quite a few humanoid martial arts robots.

The strictness of the security made Fang Yu secretly shocked.

Finally, after passing through ten metal gates, the crowd arrived deep inside a mysterious corridor. Fang Yu was already somewhat dizzy; he even suspected whether he was still inside the building.

Another door opened.

It was an elevator.

"Get in," Zhu Lingxuan said softly. They entered the elevator.

Neither Fang Yu nor Zhuang Yiliu and the others noticed that the moment they stepped into the elevator, invisible fluctuations of Star Power had already scanned their entire bodies.

"Recording mental wavebands."

"Recording iris information."

"Recording biological information."

"Generating identity authorization."

... Messages were transmitted deep into the earth.

"Hum~"

The elevator began to descend rapidly.

"This?" Fang Yu stared dumbfounded at the display on the elevator.

- 5 kilometers!

- 10 kilometers!

- 20 kilometers!

Is this an elevator? This is a space elevator, right? Where is this going?
