Path of Absolute Transcendence

'That was dangerous. I should be careful about my surroundings from now on.'

Kai thought after he opened his eyes from meditation. He didn't get injured due to his brilliant presence of mind; getting injured now will be a lot of inconvenience to his plan.

Kai left the cave after a short period of rest. He didn't waste time anymore since he only had two and a half weeks left before the secret realm closed. Kai wouldn't have any chance to interact with Yang Wudi after he returned to the sect.

'I finally found him.' He finally found his target after a long time. He saw Yang Wudi sitting alone under a tree. Instead of directly meeting him, he decided to check around Yang Wudi with caution.

The sect may have sent someone to protect him from the dark. The secret realm allows cultivators up to the god-king realm if such an expert is protecting them; Kai wouldn't be able to do anything.

'Did they not send someone to protect him?'

'Do they not consider any spies from other factions? Or is it that they have absolute confidence in him?

Kai thought doubtfully. But he decided to be more careful when dealing with Yang Wudi since he didn't know anything about his variant physique.

While searching around, Kai found another surprise.

'What is she doing here? Is it just a coincidence?'

He found Anna about a kilometer away from Yang Wudi. He didn't think that Anna could find Yang Wudi easily in this secret realm. The secret area is almost the size of a small country, so finding a person in this secret area needs a lot of luck and hard work.

'It may be they teleported near each other, but I should keep an eye on her just in case.' Kai doubted. He knew there was no such thing as coincidence, or Kai didn't believe in coincidence.

Kai decided to meet Anna to find out her purpose for following Yang Wudi.

"Hey Anna, what are you doing here?" Kai asked after he saw her, and he made his presence known to avoid scaring her.

"Senior brother Kai, I was following the holy son. I was lucky to teleport near him, so I'm here now." Anna replied without any hesitation.

'Is it only luck?' Kai thought. He didn't find any lies in her speech; her expression seemed natural. But his intuition tells him that something is wrong.

'Did something happen during my training?'

During his training in the Refining Tower, Kai wasn't able to spy on Anna. So he had some doubts because her entire temperament changed a lot. Her beauty increased a lot, and certain parts also grew bigger.

"Did you break through?" Kai asked the only reasonable question.

"Yes, senior brother. I broke through before the secret realm opened. Now, I'm also a supernatural realm cultivator."

She broke through after successfully reaching the heavenly foundation. She did not say anything about her foundation to Kai, and he also didn't ask. He knew it was pointless to ask such a question.

"We should start executing our plan now. There are only two weeks left." Kai knew he wouldn't have much time left in the secret realm, so he decided to finish Yang Wudi.

"But, senior brother, how about we get closer to him and make a surprise attack?"

Yang Wudi may have received protective treasure from his father or grand elder, so she suggested this.

Kai thought about it for some moments and decided to accept it. "Okay, we will do as you say. But we won't waste time on it."

He needed to research Yang Wudi's body, so Kai didn't want to waste a lot of time. Anna and Kai went to meet Yang Wudi.

"We greet the holy son."

"We greet the holy son."

Both of them greeted Yang Wudi by his title. It has to be done by every disciple whenever they see the holy son.

"You are Kai; what is the reason you came to visit me?" Yang asked, and he didn't even bat an eye at Anna.

"Holy son, this is junior sister Anna. We came to form a team with you." Kai introduced Anna and revealed his purpose.

"So you want me to form a team with you guys, but what is the benefit for me in that?" He believes there is no point in forming a team.

"Holy son, there are a lot of Tier 3 beasts in the secret realm. I have already encountered one; if we form a team, we can defeat them and share the profit based on contribution." Kai explained the situation.

Yang Wudi thought about the situation for a few seconds and replied.

"Okay, we can form a team. But what about her?"

"Her strength is also good, holy son, so don't worry about her. I can guarantee." Kai spoke for Anna on her behalf. He didn't know about Anna's true strength since he didn't know anything about her talent or foundation, but Kai lied about his plan.

Then the three of them started exploring the secret realm; Kai didn't use his ability to find treasures. His purpose was to only gain trust and make a sneak attack, so he waited patiently for the opportunity.

The three of them fought a lot of beasts on their way, but they were easily defeated by them. Yang Wudi also let his guard down against them and relaxed a little.

"Kai, I think we should spar someday; I want to compare who is stronger." Yang Wudi said it with a strong fighting spirit.

"Okay, holy son, thank you for granting me such an honor."

Kai accepted politely. He never said anything unnecessary to avoid revealing any clue.

"Kai, I need to thank you for your help. Because of the battle between you and Leiyin, I learned a lot of things."

He learned a lot from the grand elder in the training; he achieved muscle control over his body. He also learned to control his pride and arrogance. This is an important reason he formed a team with them; otherwise, he wouldn't have formed a team with them despite knowing there are Tier 3 beasts inside the secret realm.

"It is your hard work, holy son; I don't deserve your thanks."

After traveling for a day, they decided to rest. Anna found a hidden spot for their rest.

"We should take turns to watch out in the night." Considering the dangers of beasts in this area, Yang Wudi said this:

"Okay, holy son. I shall watch first." He wanted to end this facade soon, so Kai decided to guard first.

'I should knock him out during his sleep.' Kai didn't want to waste time because the closing of the secret realm was near.

Yang Wudi went to sleep; he didn't think that someone would plan to kill him in his domain. After confirming that Yang Wudi was asleep, Kai took his sword and coated it with blood poison.

It is capable of paralyzing anyone if reacted with neuropoison. Kai already made Yang Wudi drink neuropoison using Williams.

The neuropoison won't cause any harm to the person if it is consumed alone. But if it is mixed with blood poison, it is deadly. He applied blood poison to his sword to trigger the reaction between them; he didn't want to fight against Yang Wudi without knowing his trump card.

He saw Anna and Yang Wudi sleeping at a distance from each other. Kai slowly moved towards Yang Wudi without alerting him. He swung his sword at him.

*DANGGG*

The sword didn't cut him, instead, it hit a barrier and made a lot of noise.

Yang Wudi immediately woke and became alert.

"What are you doing, Kai? Are you a spy from another sect?" Yang Wudi demanded furiously. He would have lost his life if he didn't have the Holy Son token with him.

The holy son token can save the user from danger for a single time by forming a barrier. The barrier can withstand an attack from the peak saint realm cultivator, but it has become useless now.

"You will pay the price for your choice."

"I don't care about that; I only want your life. Anna, stop pretending and get ready to fight." Kai ordered Anna to join the fight.

Anna woke up and took a whip from her storage ring. Yang Wudi immediately took his spear and got into a fighting stance.

"How about we talk about this matter? You know I can easily fulfill all your desires." Yang Wudi tried talking things as he thought both of them were assassins.

"Hey, did you forget about me? Did you not remember my sister?" Anna asked furiously when she heard his voice.

"Which sister!"

This reply further infuriated her, and she whipped him. Yang Wudi dodged the attack and guessed the reason.

"So, you are from the Caster family. It's a surprise you escaped from my father; it seems you have some luck."

Yang Wudi said this after seeing a similar face on Anna.

"Your sister was good at pleasing people. She is the one who took my first time, and I even thought about making her my first concubine but resisted her fate. So I had no choice but to kill her."

Anna became angry after hearing Yang Wudi insult her sister.

"You will now pay for your sins. I will destroy your entire family after you."

"Ha ha ha! Don't make me laugh. Even though I didn't know about how many powerhouses are in my family, how could you possibly destroy them?" Yang Wudi mocked her and continued, "Don't think that you can survive after provoking me."

Kai became alert after hearing his tone.

'It seems the sect gave him some sort of protection'

Kai didn't waste time anymore on this pointless talk and started the fight with him.
