System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 88 Ch 88: Cedric Rayes



"Quiet!"

Seeing that the crowd was being so noisy, the First Elder shouted as a thunderous sound was heard, and everyone on the scene was shaken by it, causing their vitality to churn.

"Is this the power of an Origin Sea Stage martial warrior?" Alex felt this pressure, and his desire for becoming stronger grew even more.

The scene fell silent. All the disciples didn't dare to make any more sound and looked at the First Elder with reverence.

The First Elder then continued: "Alright. Then we'll start the competition now. There are two rounds of competition. The first round of the competition is to explore a secret realm. Follow me!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away slowly. Andre and First Elder walked side by side. The rest of the Outer Sect deacons followed behind them. And behind them were the disciples.

"Secret Realm?" Alex muttered with a frown.

A boy who was walking beside him answered Alex: "You don't know? Looks like you are a new disciple. Our Floating Cloud Academy has a secret realm that has two layers. Only inner and core disciples know what is on the second layer of the secret realm. As for the first layer of the secret realm, the academy sends outer disciples to explore. There are many demonic demonic beasts in the First Layer, from Level 1 demonic beasts to level 4 demonic beasts. Outer disciples need to hunt down the demonic beasts in order to get the points. Level 1 demonic beasts give 10 points, level 2 gives 100 points, level 3 gives 1000 points, and level 4 demonic beasts give 10,000 points."

"To prove we have hunted down demonic beasts, we need to gather their demonic cores. Later, we can also exchange those demonic cores for contribution points. Level 1 demonic core gives 1 contribution point, exchanging level 2 demonic core will earn us 10 contribution points, Level 3 and Level 4 demonic core can be exchanged for 50 and Level 100 contribution points."

"Inside the secret realm, all we need to do is to hunt down as many demonic beasts as possible. The points we earn will decide the top ten. And only the top ten can participate in the second round of the competition."

Alex nodded his head in understanding.

.....

The First Elder led everyone to a triangle-shaped tower. This tower had three floors in total. Everyone climbed to the third floor and arrived in front of a huge iron gate. This iron gate was rusty but was still giving off a kind of different charm that is enough to attract everyone's attention.

The first elder waved his hand and a circular light appeared in front of him that extended bigger and bigger, quickly taking the shape of the iron gate before sticking on it, causing the iron gate to illuminate, and the next moment, with a creaking sound, the iron gate opened slowly, revealing a resplendent vortex that seemed to constantly spin in a circular motion.

This vortex was actually the gate to the secret realm.

The First Elder said, "All of you who want to participate in the competition will enter the secret realm. Some of you are new disciples so you might not know. Let me explain everything."

"This secret realm has a total of two layers. Outer disciples are only allowed to explore the first layer. For this competition, you'll have to hunt down demonic beasts. Every demonic beast will give you a different point. The ten disciples who'll gather the highest points will be promoted and can participate in the second round of the competition. Now, enter the secret realm one by one!"

Many disciples started entering one after another. These were the old disciples. After the old disciples entered the secret realm, new disciples started entering. Very soon, it was Alex's turn to enter the secret realm.

He arrived in front of the translucent vortex, stepped into it, and disappeared.

After stepping into the vortex, Alex felt dizzy. By the time he came back to his senses, the scene in front of him was completely different.

Outside was a Wilderness Land. It was a desolate and vast place. However, this was a dark and gloomy space. Gray mist drifted in all directions. The ground here was no different from the wasteland outside.

Alex could only see a few thousand meters away at most.

"Is this the Secret Realm?"

Alex muttered in his heart. It was as if he had come to a different world, and it was extremely strange.

After that, Alex calmed himself down and looked around. This place doesn't seem like a forest. There was no mountain or river. It was a huge piece of land but totally desolate. The land was barren and had yellowish-brown sand below.

Alex didn't know how could demonic beasts live in such an environment.

Alex started wandering around, with the hope of finding demonic beasts to hunt, as well as to find some other disciples who entered so that he could earn a few thousand energy points from them.

.....

Somewhere far away from the Red Leaf Country, a person covered in blood was flying at a very fast speed. He had bad injuries and lost a lot of blood. Anyone could see his pale face.

Many people were chasing after this man. These people all had the cultivation base above Heavenly Completion Stage. Even the person they are chasing after was already at the Crystal Transformation Stage Level 4.

"Cedric, stop there. You won't be able to run away. Why don't you give up and come back to the family with us?" One of the people chasing after the young man named Cedric shouted.

The young man covered in blood sneered and said coldly, "Do you think I'm a three years old child you can fool whenever you want? Rey, it's not me who should give up, instead, it is you!"

"Cedric, don't be stubborn. As long as you return to the family, we'll do whatever you want. We'll give you any resource you want. All you need is to return to the family with us!" Another man said.

"Uncle Abram, you should know more than me what the family actually wants from me. All they think of is using me for their own gains. The family will treat me very well if I return, but for how long? They just want to use me and climb the stairs of Imperial Family. All they want is to use my bloodline. And after using me, they'll throw me like trash. Look at me, what they have done to me already. If I hadn't run away, I doubt I could have come out alive? I always treated you as my father. You who raised me up after my parent's death and now you want to send me to the gate of hell. Do you really want to do that, uncle Abram?" Cedric asked loudly.

For a moment, Abram didn't know what to say. He looked at the people that were chasing after Cedric with him, and kept quiet, not speaking anymore.

But yes, he did send a sound transmission to Cedric, saying, "Cedric, don't blame uncle. I've my family to look after so I can only chase after you. I can't offend the family. But don't worry, I also don't want you to fall in danger. You know your cousin, she can see a glimpse of the future sometime. She told me to let you know where you should go after escaping. Go to the Profound Star Sect in the Middle Lands. There, you'll soon cross paths with a person who can change your fate. From that moment onward, you'll not have to worry about being used by someone just for the sake of your bloodline and die a terrible death. You can leave happily as long as you meet that person!"

Cedric was stunned. He knew very well about the ability of his cousin, Slivya Rosefield. Slivya could see a glimpse of the future but seeing the future is not in her hand. She can't control what to see and what not to. It always comes to her randomly.

This was Slivya's greatest secret that only he, her father Abram Rayes, and her mother Serah Rosefield knows.

Slivya had her mother's surname instead of her father's. No one knows the reason, but everyone guessed it should be related to her mother somehow.

Slivya's mother was very mysterious. Five years after giving birth to Slivya, she disappeared somewhere. No one knows where she went except for her father, Abram Rayes.

She asked Abram many times, but Abram always responded with a single answer. That is, as long as she could become a Void King Stage martial warrior, he'll tell her where her mother went to, and the reason for her disappearance.

Knowing it was Slivya who saw the future and told him to go to the Profound Star Sect in the Middle Lands, Cedric noted down and decided to first escape from the pursuit before going to the Profound Star Sect.
