The Lightning Deity was a physical manifestation of lightning that Lu Zheng had created with his lightning Qi and soul consciousness.
It was like a clone of Lu Zheng except that it could only use lightning path.
Lu Zheng's soul consciousness was limited and he could only create another deity like the Lightning Deity at the same time.
This meant that two deities at the same time were his limit.
If he exceeded it, his brain might explode from the mental strain.
The Lightning Deity dissipated abruptly as Lu Zheng opened his eyes. The sky was already red signifying that it was evening.
"You finally stood up. We didn't want to disturb you since it seemed like you had received inspiration" Olina said warmly.
After the burst of profound meaning Lu Zheng had comprehended after his breakthrough to the Sky realm, it was natural for him to receive multiple inspirations to create and improve upon his martial techniques.
"Is it time to go?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Hmm. We'll be leaving right now. We are already late" Kalani replied.
"What about Themur? Where can he stay?" Lu Zheng asked.
"There's a place where beast pets can be kept during the secret realm expedition. Since Themur is an intelligent beast, he should be given free lance there. He'll be alright" Olina had an assuring tone.
Without more talking, Kalani tore open a spatial passage that the six of them entered.
On the other end of the spatial passage was a large court with the Yin-Yang rotation carved on it.
Multiple martial practitioners stood in the court as they chatted with one another.
The rare Void Passage realm experts were like fish in the pond in this place.
"I can see Kevin Tore from Thousand Jade Palace and Purple Lake Palace's Ariana Stan" Ele quickly pointed out some well-known faces.
"Even Orchid Pagoda Palace's Lucas Devi is here" Olina said looking at a well-built man.
"Starry Sky Palace is also here!" Kalani exclaimed.
"Starry Sky Palace!" Launi exclaimed with a tinge of fear.
"Is that monster also here?" Olina asked.
The eyes of the four Void Passage realm experts shifted from person to person before landing on the man they didn't want to see.
"Immortal Star! He's here!" Ele cried out with horror written all over her face.
Lu Zheng's gaze shifted towards the man they were all scared of before suddenly turning to them.
"Who's this Immortal Star?"
Ele looked at him like he did not know the matters of the world: "His name is Samuel Idowu, the scariest Sky realm expert in the entire North American Union. It is said that he is immortal"
"When he was at the first tier of Sky realm, he fought a first tier of Void Passage realm expert to the death and won" Launi explained.
"That was merely two centuries ago. Word around says that he's already reached the peak of Sky realm. He is definitely stronger now" Kalani said.
"Even if you dare fight anyone, avoid Immortal Star at all costs" Olina warned.
The four Void Passage realm experts took turns to explain Immortal Star's horrifying legend to Lu Zheng.
Even though Lu Zheng had never heard of Immortal Star before, he knew from their words that he was definitely a strong martial practitioner.
"I'll keep that in mind" Lu Zheng said under the watchful gazes of the rest.
After some while, the martial practitioners were transported into the secret realm.
…..
Lu Zheng's head throbbed as his eyes opened. Spatial teleportation through secret realms usually caused headaches.
Only spatial gateways were free of this flaw because they were far more stable.
The scenery around Lu Zheng was an icy plain with snow covering everywhere. His entire vision was filled with white.
"So we got separated huh?" Lu Zheng muttered as he released his Sea of Consciousness.
They were told that the secret realm was a layered one and each layer contained abundant treasures that could tempt even Void Passage realm experts.
Lu Zheng naturally wasn't an exception to this temptation.
"This layer of the secret realm is quite large" Lu Zheng was positively surprised.
From his knowledge, layers of layered secret realms only became larger as one advanced through the layers.
The layered secret realm was like a pyramid with the lower space being larger than the upper.
Lu Zheng had been flying for a long while but he hadn't met anyone else. This meant that this layer of the secret realm had a wide expanse of space.
Soon, he heard a weird laugh: "Tehehe, Laurence's concealment technique is actually very good. I've been trailing you for a long while yet you haven't noticed"
In a flash, Lu Zheng jumped over thirty metres from his original spot as a wary look appeared on his face.
A yellow skinned man with short bushy black hair and eyes that seemed to see all appeared.
He was garbed in purple silk with white polka dots that resembled stars.
"Who are you?" Lu Zheng asked as faint realisation dawned on him.
"Oh? I'm Samuel Idowu but you may know me as Immortal Star" Immortal Star said.
