Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World
Chapter 653: Double Cavern Secret Realms (Part 2)

Since the Green Lotus Sect and Eternal One Sect jointly discovered the Double Cavern Secret Realm, each sect gets ten spots.

The remaining thirty spots will be distributed among the other sects.

Amalia had been on the Mystic Void Continent for two months and had learned that the continent was dominated by eight major forces, collectively referred to as the Four Sects, Two Valleys, One Gate, and One Palace.

The remaining four major sects would share the thirty spots equally, with each sect getting about five spots, which was half of what the Green Lotus Sect and Eternal One Sect received.

Normally, the other major forces would not agree to two sects taking the lion’s share, but there was an unwritten rule that whoever discovered a secret realm would have the right to the benefits first.

Therefore, they had no objections.

Getting five spots for an untouched secret realm was already a great deal.

"Sect Leader, how can you be sure that the devils will also enter in equal numbers?" Amalia asked, considering the possibility.

If the devils later secretly sent more people into the secret realm, it could be detrimental to the humans.

"You don’t need to worry about that. The time the secret realm passage remains open is limited. The devils wouldn’t easily break the agreement. Not only would the spatial passage collapse under the strain, trapping the devils inside, but we also wouldn’t let it go unpunished," Sect Leader Qing said righteously.

"When will the secret realm open?"

"In half a month. Gather at the main peak plaza. At that time, an elder will personally lead you there. So, you only have half a month to prepare. Make the most of this rare opportunity to enter an untouched secret realm," Sect Leader Qing said.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for the information."

This news came at a perfect time.

Even if Sect Leader Qing hadn’t mentioned it, Amalia and Kenny Lin were planning to visit the devil battlefield again soon.

"Senior Brother Chang, will you be going too?" After leaving the sect leader’s main hall, Amalia asked Renshu Chang, who had come out with them.

Renshu Chang, now at the mid-stage of Golden Core, seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the late stage of Golden Core, as indicated by the intensity of his aura.

"Master should also give me a spot, but even so, with only seven spots remaining, they won’t be enough to satisfy the other competitors," Renshu Chang said worriedly.

Amalia found this amusing, "Aren’t you from the main peak? Why are you concerned about these matters?"

Kenny Lin chimed in, "Even though he’s from the main peak, he probably handles many of these issues himself. His influence is even greater than that of the eldest disciple of Sect Leader Qing."

"Speaking of which, it seems I’ve never seen any of the other sect leader’s disciples. I always thought you were the only one," Amalia said with curiosity.

Renshu Chang could only smile wryly, "Martial Aunt, please don’t say that. My influence isn’t as significant as my senior brother’s. It’s just that my senior brother focuses entirely on cultivation, and my Master feels my temperament is more suited for handling these matters."

He continued, "There are actually two other disciples of my Master besides me. I’m the second in rank; the top is my eldest senior brother, Jirandai Tang. He’s a sword fanatic and might be cultivating on some snowy mountain. Below me is my junior sister, Qing Meixiang. She’s my Master’s only daughter. She came back once while you were in seclusion; she should be on the devil battlefield now."

Amalia’s mind stirred, "Aren’t they going to the Double Cavern Secret Realm?"

Renshu Chang shook his head, "I’m not sure about that. My senior brother is on the verge of breaking through to the Great Perfection of Golden Core, so he might be the one who will go. Junior Sister Qing is also at the Golden Core stage, but if they both go, there will be even fewer spots left."

Amalia smiled, "In that case, it’s not something you need to worry about, right?"

"It’s not my responsibility, but it does mean that some people will get to go while others won’t, which is not beneficial for the internal unity of the Green Lotus Sect," Renshu Chang said, expressing his concerns.

Amalia looked at him and said, "Now I understand why the sect leader thinks you’re more suitable for handling these matters."

Having a strong sense of belonging to the Green Lotus Sect, being responsible, and having good popularity among people skills are key qualities.

Although he’s a little bit careless, such traits make you a better candidate for being the sect leader’s successor.

Renshu Chang smiled wryly, "Actually, I don’t really want to manage all this."

Amalia nodded her head in understanding.

He gets it but still feels compelled to manage things.

People with such a tendency to worry are naturally suited for leadership roles.

"Are you going back to the Upper Nine Peaks with me, or should I go with you to the Nameless Peak?" Kenny Lin asked Amalia as he walked ahead.

Renshu Chang promptly said, "If you have other matters to attend to, you can go ahead."

Kenny Lin gave him a satisfied look.

Amalia thought for a moment and said, "I need to head back to the Nameless Peak first. Why don’t you come with me?"

"Will your master not drive me away from the mountain?"

Renshu Chang, who had overheard the conversation, couldn’t help but glance at Kenny Lin.

He noticed that he looked very serious and didn’t seem to be joking.

As they spoke, the two figures, tall and straight, slowly walked away.

The setting sun stretched their shadows long, bathing them in warm, golden light.

The tall figure put an arm around Amalia’s waist and leaned in close, whispering something into her ear.

His smile was even more radiant than the warm sun.

Amalia’s sharp features softened under the glow of the setting sun.
