Chapter 180: Ch 180: Going to the Secret Realm
It did not take Rein much time to prepare. He just told everyone about the secret realm and Colinde, Lu Shi and Lan were ready to accompany Rein there. Himiko and Mei would not be able to accompany Rein but still they were planning to go with him to the place where the secret realm was located.
Obviously it would not be possible for both of them to go as one of them needed to stay in the house to take care of it. So they were going to decide who was going to stay with a friendly sparring game. After three fights, it was decided that Himiko would be staying at home while Mei would get to accompany Rein's group.
After that Rein just needed to wait while the sect started doing selection for the remaining members. Most of the remaining people would be super talented core disciples but inner disciples and outer disciples were also given a chance.
The result of this selection test was very surprising. Other than Rein's group, 21 other people were going to get the chance and 24 core disciples and wanted to join the group. So it was speculated that all of the other members of this team would be cute disciples. But surprisingly that did not happen.
There were a total of three upsets. Two of the inner sect disciples performed extremely well and were able to earn a spot among the disciples who were qualified to go with Rein.
But the biggest surprise was actually an outer sect disciple who suddenly showed off his amazing prowess and was able to defeat several core disciples to get the qualification for himself. His skill was not of a very high quality but still his cultivation speed was very fast and his foundation was solid.
This was truly a surprising turn of event but the elders were happy with their sect having so many top tier talents.

Very soon it was the time of departure. All the 21 selected candidates were already told that the lead core disciple Rein would be their leader for this expedition so no one should have any problems with this. But when Rein actually appeared before them, quite a few disciples started to complain and questions Rein qualifications to lead them in such an important expedition.
The disciple who was most active in opposing Rein was the new sensation of the Divine Scale Pavillion, the outer sect disciple who had managed to rise above many to become a part of this team. He had been feeling very self assured after getting a high status in the sect after getting a good result in the competition.
Not only was he taken in by one of the elders, many ladies had also started to flock around him after this. This made his ego to grow without any obstacle. The elder who had taken him in was also one of the rare elders who was not fond of the current sect master and that's why he was also not fond of Rein.
This man was not given much information about how insanely talented Rein was so he was still judging Rein with the standard of a regular genius. So he thought his new pawn might have a chance against Rein and so he manipulated this new rising star to have a bad feeling toward Rein. The current situation was the result of that.
Among the 21 disciples 15 were fine with Rein leading them but the other 6 were unwilling to be led by a person whom they believed to be weaker than them as Rein's age was low. So they were unwilling to cooperate at any cost.
Rein did not need to think much to find a solution to this simple problem and he just asked Colinde to beat them up. Colinde was the same age as Rein and her fame was also great. But all the rumours about her were so farfetched that no one was able to believe that these rumours were real.
So these older disciples had not taken her much seriously and were beaten up very badly by Colinde. After getting a beating of a lifetime, all of the rebellious disciples became very obedient and decided to follow Rein and Colinde without making any fuss. In this world of mystical skills, personal strength was the biggest power.
...
Even though Rein was the leader of this expedition, his main leading duty would start after they entered the secret realm. One of the Pattern Condensation realm elder would be coming with them as a supervisor and for the travelling part he would be the one to lead all the disciples.
They were going to go to the location of the secret realm with a flying boat. These flying boats were extremely rare and only a few high ranking sects had access to them. These things were extremely fast and were extremely helpful for travels.
The location of the secret realm was on an island far away from the mainland. Normally a person would need to travel for several months to reach this place. But with this super fast flying ship, Rein and his group would be able to reach their destination in just a week or two. This was truly amazing.
The flying ships had powerful weapons capable of taking care of most of the outside dangers. Only a high level Divine Castle rank powerhouse could pose a threat to it. For the most part, the journey was very peaceful except on the fifth day when the ship was attacked by a peak divine castle rank demon.
Demons were already quite powerful among their rank and this particular demon was a flying one, who were notorious for being even more troublesome than regular demons. But they did not even need to take any action and Colinde alone was able to take care of it.
Normally even with all her talents, Colinde was not strong enough to take care of a peak divine castle rank powerhouse. But this particular enemy was a demon against whom Colinde enjoyed a huge buff. That was the reason why she was able to defeat it so easily.
This act actually pushed Colinde's fame among the participating disciples to be even more. Rein's own reputation was nowhere near this amazing. Rein himself was fine with this though and even praised Colinde for a job well done.
Other than that abnormal demons, their ship did not face any other troubles. After journeying for about 11 days, a small but majestic island came to everyone's view. This island was called God Fall Island. According to the myths, in the ancient era, a fallen gods body had turned into this island and the secret realm here was also created by her remnant will.
That was the reason why this secret realm was valued so much as there might be a way to become a true god realm cultivator here.
There were already a few other flying ships around the area and all the people who would be entering this place came out to the deck to see whom they would be competing with in the secret realm.
That was how this big event started.
