Chapter 176 Ch 176: Some Secrets
All the people in the Three Cultivation Lands know that the Flame Dragon Clan is the strongest force. It is also the only force that is directly connected to the True Essence Sky World and knows how to go there.
All the people in the Middle Lands know that Gatlin, the previous sect leader of the Profound Star Sect somehow provoked the Flame Dragon Clan, however, only a few know that Gatlin actually stole the Egg of True Dragon and killed the person who was bringing the Egg of True Dragon back to the clan.
This enraged the Flame Dragon Clan and they immediately began hunting Gatlin. But Gatlin was fast. He knew that the Flame Dragon Clan would not let the matter rest and will definitely come after him. If he stayed in the sect, the entire sect might be destroyed by them. After all, although Profound Star Sect used to be a First Rate Force, it was not powerful enough to go against the Flame Dragon Clan.
So Gatlin hid the Egg of True Dragon somewhere inside the sect. It is most likely that the Egg is hidden in the Forbidden Ground and its clue could only be found after one enters the Forbidden Ground of the Profound Star Sect.
After hiding the Egg of True Dragon, Gatlin hurriedly called his disciple who is also the current leader of the sect, told him about the trouble he has caused, and escaped the sect.
The current Leader then spread the news about Gatling leaving the sect which saved the sect a lot of trouble. The Flame Dragon Clan ignored the Profound Star Sect and went after Gatlin. They managed to heavily injure him and even sealed his cultivation base, but Gatlin still somehow managed to escape alive. Where he went, no one knows.
When the Flame Dragon Clan failed to find Gatlin again, they went their anger on the Profound Star Sect, causing the strength of the Profound Star Sect to weaken greatly as it fell from the First Rate Force to the Second Rate Force.
Other people only know that Gatlin has hidden the Egg of True Dragon somewhere in the Forbidden Ground of the Profound Star Sect.
However, Rayan knows another secret that the Profound Star Sect is hiding from the world. In fact, even in the Profound Star Sect, maybe no one knows about this secret. Even if there are people who know, there should be very few people.
Rayan's intention of entering the Forbidden Ground of the Profound Star Sect is different from others. Be it if they are Cedric or Shivika, or other disciples from big forces and powerful families who recently entered the Profound Star Sect, all of them want to obtain the Egg of True Dragon. However, what he wants is not the Egg of True Dragon but the other secret hidden in the Forbidden Ground of the sect.
The secret that Rayan wants is actually a dragon sealed somewhere inside the Forbidden Ground.
Because of the Sky Dragon Pagoda which is Rayan's greatest secret as well as the reason behind his regression, Rayan came to know about the sealed Dragon inside the Forbidden Ground of Profound Star Sect.
The Sky Dragon Pagoda is somehow related to the sealed dragon. If Rayan wants to truly awaken the Sky Dragon Pagoda and obtain all the benefits it has to offer, he has to get the Heart Blood of this sealed dragon. It is because, according to the information that suddenly appeared in his eyes after the Sky Dragon Pagoda reacted for the first time, the main material to create this pagoda was the tail bone of this sealed dragon.
"What is the opportunity you are talking about?" Cedric looked at Rayan and asked. Shivika also nodded his head and looked at Rayan.
Rayan nodded and replied: "The opportunity will come exactly a year and a half later from now. At that time, Flame Dragon Clan will organize a big competition where geniuses from the Three Cultivation Land will participate. All the forces at that time will go to that competition, and that'll be the perfect time to enter the Forbidden Ground, do whatever we want to do, and come out without alerting anyone."
"A year and a half? Do we have to wait that long?" Shivika frowned and muttered in a low voice. She was unwilling to wait any longer.
Rayan again said: "Yes, if you want to not be caught by the elders and punished by the sect, you should wait. Let me tell you a secret that no one knows, there are three elders guarding the Forbidden Ground. They are hidden and only the sect leader, Grand Elder, and two other elders know about their existence. These three elders are also the main fighting force of our Profound Star Sect, for two of them are Void Martial Stage martial warriors. And one is on the verge of breaking through to Void King Stage."
"Do you guys really think you can get past them and steal the Egg of True Dragon?"
"What?"
Cedric and Shivika were shocked when they heard Rayan. They had never thought that such powerful people are hiding inside the sect.
But if those three elders are really guarding the Forbidden Ground and are the main fighting force of the Profound Star Sect, then it is too terrifying. The Profound Star Sect is actually pretending to be a pig right now.
But then again, why did these three elders never take action when they were forced by the Flame Dragon Clan?
Why did they do nothing when the sect's ranking fell from being a First Rank Sect to a Second Rate Force?
Maybe, Rayan knew what they were thinking in their hearts. He said: "If you are thinking why these three elders had never taken action, then let me tell you. Flame Dragon Clan is the strongest force in the Three Cultivation Land. Our sect only has these three Void Martial Stage martial warriors. Even if one of them broke through, there'll be only two Void Martial Stage and one Void King Stage martial warrior. However, the Flame Dragon Clan has tens of Void Martial Stage and Void King Stage martial warriors. They also have three Extreme Void Stage martial warriors. Even if the three hidden elders of our sect would have taken action when our sect was being forced by the Flame Dragon Clan, they couldn't have done anything against their enemies."
The two people standing in front of Rayan took a deep breath. Both of them were extremely shocked and didn't know what to say for a few seconds.
After a while, Cedric suppressed the rising emotions in his heart, darted his gaze at Rayan, and asked: "How do you know about all these things? I mean, since only a few people know about the existence of three hidden elders, then how did you know about them? You even know about their cultivation base as well as the fact that one of them is on the verge of breaking through and becoming a Void King. Why do you know all these things? Are you a spy or what?"
'F*ck!' Rayan cursed in his heart when he heard Cedric's question. This thought never crossed his mind that people can ask him why he knows all these secrets when no one knows. He was careless and carelessly spilled out many things that he shouldn't have.
But now that the deed is already done, he could do nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Rayan smiled and said: "You don't need to know why and how I come to know about these secrets. Also, I assure you guys that I'm not a spy. Look at my strength, how can I be a spy with this kind of cultivation base?"
Cedric and Shivika nodded their heads. This makes a lot of sense.
Ultimately, Rayan is just an Enlightenment Stage martial warrior. He couldn't be a spy with such a weak cultivation base.
"I never heard anything about a competition being held by the Flame Dragon Clan. Why do you know this?" Shivika frowned after a moment of silence and asked. She said: "And... Flame Dragon Clan has never organized any competition before. Why would they do that this time?"
Rayan smiled at this question. Of course, he knows everything because he is a regressor. To him, everything has already happened before.
He said: "As I said before, don't worry about how I know things that others don't know or heard about."
"Umm... As for why the Flame Dragon Clan is organizing a competition this time, as far as I know, it is because they want to select some geniuses. After selecting those geniuses through the competition, they are planning to bring them to the Essence Sky World. I mean, the True Essence Sky World where no one from the Three Cultivation Lands could reach on their own."
