Chapter 6

The young girl in white took a deep, delighted breath of the aroma wafting from the food and exclaimed crisply, “Little Rachel, your cooking is getting better and better! Just smelling it makes my mouth water! That’s it, I’ve decided—from tomorrow on, I’m coming over to your place for meals! No, wait! Why wait for tomorrow? I’ll come tonight. You’re living alone now, right? That must be so boring. I’ll keep you company!”

  “Sure, you’re more than welcome! But Grace, didn’t you just say that tonight your idol, ‘Heavenly Sword’ Ning Fangyuan, is leading a team to raid the Slaughter Guild? If you come to my place, how will you enter the Moon God Realm and keep up with the latest news?”

  “I’ve already prepared for that!” As Grace Harris spoke, a small, jade-green device, resembling an earpiece, appeared in her hand!

  Compared to a regular earpiece, this gadget was crafted with far more precision, but it didn’t have a microphone, and instead of covering the ear, it was meant to be worn at the temple!

  “You actually brought your Moon God Realm receiver with you…”

  “Of course! This is my precious treasure, so I naturally carry it everywhere!”

  “Moon God Realm?”

  Snapping out of her recovery state, Evan Grant’s gaze immediately fell on the receiver in Grace Harris’s hand, which looked a bit like a headband!

  As if she’d heard Evan Grant’s question, Rachel Derek suddenly remembered something. She quickly took off the backpack slung over her shoulder, rummaged through it for a moment, and pulled out a device similar to the one in Grace Harris’s hand, except this one was a mysterious black color!

  “I brought your receiver for you. I know you—no matter how injured you are, you’d never just sit still. To avoid causing trouble for the hospital, if you get bored, just go to the Moon God Realm. You can do whatever you want there to pass the time! Did you hear me?” As she spoke, the girl seemed to recall the five resolute words Evan Grant had said upon waking up that morning. She frowned slightly, a bit helpless, and added, “If you really feel like you can’t live without Hannah Cooper and want to keep chasing after her, then go challenge the first level of the Moon God Realm! As long as you can break through the first level and earn a one-star clearance, you’ll be able to use the Moon God Realm’s power to sense the world’s spiritual energy hidden within the aura of the Moon Demon Realm and absorb it. Maybe you’ll be able to quickly break through to the fourth stage!”

  “The world’s spiritual energy hidden within the aura of the Moon Demon Realm!?”

  Evan Grant was momentarily stunned!

  He didn’t care what the Moon Demon Realm was, but spiritual energy was the key to whether a cultivator could rapidly increase their true energy and, after reaching the postnatal limit, make the leap into the Innate Secret Realm!

  In an instant, Evan Grant’s expression became solemn!

  With his master’s guidance, he had reached the postnatal limit at fourteen, then remained at that stage for a full ten years. During those ten years, no matter what he tried—using rare treasures, enduring harsh environments, or risking his life in extreme danger—he still… still couldn’t break through to the Innate Realm, become an Innate expert, and fulfill his master’s lifelong regret!

  But now…

  It had been less than a day since he woke up, and he’d already heard about spiritual energy and seen hope for advancing to the Innate Secret Realm!

  This…

  Taking a light breath, Evan Grant quickly calmed himself down!

  The more critical the moment, the more he couldn’t lose his composure!

  “The… the receiver, give it to me!”

  Rachel Derek nodded and handed over the black Moon God Realm receiver!

  “With this receiver, can I absorb spiritual energy?”

  “Of course not!” Rachel Derek glanced at Evan Grant, a faint crease appearing on her fair forehead: “If it were really that easy, there wouldn’t be so many people stuck at the third martial stage, unable to break through for life. Derek, I know you’re eager to reach the fourth martial stage and become an elite student at our Xingyao Academy to prove yourself to Hannah Cooper, but if you can’t pass the first level of the Moon God Realm, don’t force it. Otherwise, it could cause serious damage to your mind!”

  “Damage my mind?”

  “You… you haven’t forgotten even this, have you?”

  It wasn’t that he’d forgotten—he’d never even heard of it!

  But of course, Evan Grant couldn’t say that, so he just nodded silently!

  “You… you… I really don’t know what to say to you. It’s one thing to ignore minor details, but knowledge about the Moon God Realm is crucial for our future! How could you forget something so important… I really don’t know how you made it to third year!”

  “All right, all right, Little Rachel, don’t be mad! Just explain it to him again.”
