It has been four days since Dana has been flying non-stop towards the Secret Realm, well 'non-stop' as in detouring on many occasions. As a result finding 'shiny' looking treasures on the way there.
Which seemed to exactly prove the system was right in the matter of withholding the technique, as Dana ended up causing trouble on many occasions, as many of the treasures she 'found' seemed to have owners.
But, from the words of Dana 'finders-keepers', caused not a short amount of suffering for the many nobles which ended up becoming Dana's newest victims, with her robbing all of their belongings without even their clothes being spared, making these previous rich young masters become a bunch of penniless beggars within a few hours.
Obviously, Dana was about to leave the clothes, but upon seeing the gold and a few 'shiny' ornaments engraved within them, ended up triggering her greedy nature of treasures leaving the pitiful nobles without even the clothes on their backs.
Of course, none of this mattered to Dana who was flying happily alongside the treasures she rightfully claimed, as if they had incompetent owners, then who can blame her? They would just get stolen by another person! She reassured herself.
This system upon seeing Dana displaying such shameless behaviour was thinking of a solution to 'fix' its host as quickly as possible.
Shortly, Dana arrived at the location on which the Secret Realm opens, of course, she changed into her human form, way before she came within the sight of the other human cultivators.
Dana soon saw a large crowd of cultivators waiting outside what seemed to be a 'large gate', which she guessed was the portal to the secret realm.
As no one knew the true origins of the secret realm as its complexity is far above what these sects could comprehend, many powerful sects over the years have studied it without success, thus only the Tier 3 sects now find interest in entering it, as it is mainly used for the cultivation resources contained within, which may be valuable for a Tier 3 sect, but for the bigger sects? Not so much.
Searching around to for the area in which the Elemental Sect disciples are, her eyes scanned around the large crowd of cultivators, quickly finding her Master alongside a few Sect Elders within the Elemental Sect she recognised, finding the location of her Master and the Elemental Sect, Dana strolled over towards her master.
Seeing Dana moving towards them the group of cultivators were astounded by such breathtaking beauty, they previously thought that the other known beauties within the continent were unparalleled with it impossible other women being able to surpass them, but this woman before them destroys this assumption completely, as there is simply no comparison between the appearances of those beauties in contrast to her.
In fact, if she stood beside the top beauties of the Xinghai Continent, then Dana would outshine them completely, making them look ordinary.
"Who is that?" Muttered a young cultivator staring at Dana with infatuation.
"That must be the new genius of the Elemental Sect, Dana the disciple of Yueqin Wen. They have been bragging for weeks that she the new number one beauty within the continent... it seems they are right after all." Another cultivator said, managing to discern Dana's identity from her appearance.
Hearing Dana's identity caused many to be completely shocked, as they originally scoffed at the thought of Dana being declared the number one beauty by the various Elemental Sect disciples, but now seeing the reality before their eyes, not one person can question this at all.
Ignoring the heated gazes of the cultivators, soon Dana is in front of her master and before Yueqin Wen can reprimand Dana for disappearing without notice for a few months, Dana scooped her up in a big hug, lifting her in the air swirling her around, dumbfounding the surrounding cultivators in addition to causing Yueqin Wen previous emotionless face to dye red as she attempted to regain her previous cold mask.
"Ahh, master. Your disciple missed you so much, sorry I got a little too affectionate." Dana said with a pitiful look as if she was worried her master would punish her.
Seeing Dana's appearance caused the crowd to instinctively feel sorry for her and the need to protect her, making the system rolls it eyes at Dana's acting as in the past few days it found that Dana seemed to be world-class in this field as she made many nobles actually reward her for stealing from them, by providing 'information' on the individual she witnessed doing so.
Of course, this was a load of rubbish, but with Dana sounding so convincing in addition to her appearance, caused the nobles wanting to make a good impression on her, making Dana receive even more 'shiny' things from the people she just robbed.
Seeing the crowds accusing glares, and the innocent look Dana was giving her as if it was completely accidental, quickly diffused Yueqin Wen's anger for her sudden disappearance and picking her up in an embarrassing manner in front of the public.
"It's a fine disciple... after all, it is nothing wrong just being happy to see me. Can your master speak to you at this moment?" Yueqin Wen replied.
Seeing that she has gotten out of trouble this easy, a breathtaking smile emerged on Dana's face stunning the crowd, Dana said, "Sure Master, I guess I got a lot to tell you about my previous month."
This was followed shortly by Dana following Yueqin Wen into an Inn not too far away from the entrance of the secret realm, of course, this Inn's primary business came from the once a year-round mass of cultivators heading here, not to mention there is a Town near the Secret Realm, which gets a fair amount of travellers all year round, so this Inn only purpose isn't for the Secret Realm.
Yueqin Wen quickly led Dana into her room as she closed the door, now away from prying eyes, Yueqin Wen stared at Dana with a stern look before asking, "Well, you got some explaining to do Dana, you went randomly missing out of no were for around two months! Do you know how worried I was, I thought he took you as well!"
Seeing Yueqin Wen's deeply concerned appearance, caused a pang of guilt within Dana's heart at seeing the obvious concern her master had towards her, causing Dana to reply, "I'm sorry Master, I just wanted to improve my strength as much as possible before coming here as I cannot rely on your protection forever, not to mention I was worried that you wouldn't let me leave the sect without supervision so I went without informing you."
Hearing Dana's obvious remorse caused Yueqin Wen to calm down, as in the end it was Dana's choice and she knew that the girl just wanted the means to defend herself without her babysitting, thus she quickly forgot the thought of Dana leaving for the past few months and instead spoke with a smile, "Well how successful has it been?"
Thinking that Dana's cultivation improved by only a fair amount, Yueqin Wen was dumbfounded when Dana didn't conceal a thing from her at all, revealing her full cultivation, which is an improvement of a full four ranks, not to mention it is a promotion of a new realm.
Seeing her master completely frozen with a gaping mouth, Dana suddenly grew worried, "Hey master are you alright?"
Yueqin Wen snapped out of these thoughts upon hearing Dana's voice, as she replied, "Yes, yes... you just gave your master a big shock that's all, as I knew your talent was better than mine, but not that much... your talent is higher than that Chao Sung by the speed of your cultivation."
Witnessing her master mutter Chao Sung's name such hatred reminded Dana of her promise to her master, "Don't worry Master, he will pay for what he did to your daughter, as your disciple I can assure of you that." Dana said determinedly.
Yueqin Wen suddenly broke out crying as she heard Dana's reassuring reply, as it felt as if she will finally see that man pay for what he has done...
With the death of all those, she cherished within this world, it had already caused Yueqin Wen to fully lose the will to live any more without them...
But, she continued to live on for one reason only, revenge.
She knew her daughter and husband wouldn't want themselves to die in vain, so she lived on for that reason only, as the many years passed she was starting to give up hope in ever having vengeance be given towards the man which ruined her once peaceful, happy family.
However, Dana has finally lit up hope once again within her.
Causing her to have full faith in Dana carrying out her promise.
Seeing her master's emotional appearance, caused Dana to instantly embrace her, as Yueqin Wen cried on her shoulder.
Dana knew that Yueqin Wen was a strong woman, thus seeing her like this, clearly shows that she has been holding this within her for a long time, and now she is letting it all free as if the burden which had been upon her for the years since her daughters death has been uplifted by Dana.
A few hours later Dana left her masters room with a cold expression as she thought within her head, 'Chao Sung I will surely butcher you for what you did to my master and from how your reputation precedes you, your death will surely remove a great scrouge from this continent.'
Removing these murderous thoughts, Dana soon directed them elsewhere, as she knew it was finally time to meet the two girls who fully intended on betraying her.
As Dana promised to join them in entering the Secret Realm, she cannot disappoint them now can she?
