Millennium Tension

"So, is that what is meant by strength and wisdom? It's somewhat impossible for an ordinary person to survive, even a person with the power of [Rank 9] would have enough trouble with this monster." Ana breathed a sigh of relief because everything was finished.

She was already tense enough with the bombardment of the small snake monsters that kept popping up. Coupled with that strange monster far down there that is at the center of all the trouble. Ordinary people are sure to fall before they even try.

One by one they landed on the ground and checked once more that this hall had returned to its normal state.

"Everything's safe under control, master. What are your next orders?" Alpha asked Aizen with respect and admiration.

Aizen did not answer immediately, he saw a circular energy shield with four pegs still embedded in the ground with the six girls gaping in amazement. The previous incident seemed to have greatly shocked them.

"We need to get the six of them out of these ancient ruins. It will be more and more dangerous and we can no longer guard them." Aizen goes to the energy barrier peg, while Ana and Axel immediately follow there with the seven newly joined servants.

He deactivated the energy barrier then placed the four pegs into [Space Storage].

"Are you all right?" Aizen with a slightly worried face asked them kindly.

"What was that..." Feng Zhi recovered faster than the others and asked a representative question.

The destructive power that Axel spat out was already terrifying and the combined runes of the nine people consisting of Aizen, Ana, and the seven girls who had suddenly appeared completed the shock of the six poor cultivator girls.

Not to mention the terrifying screams from the huge hole that appeared due to their technique. Even though they didn't see a real monster deep underground, just that monster's scream gave them the chills of fear.

"This gigantic hall is no longer like the previous battle hall, we have already fought several guards with the power of the Sky Spirit Realm. This time, the real monster on standby far down there is already at the peak of the Sovereign Spirit Realm and one more step towards Nirvana Spirit Realm."

Aizen provides some information to explain it all with a purpose. Aizen's reply shocked the six poor girls who had just recovered from their shock. Only one word if they were in this gigantic hall without Aizen's group, died. They will die without being able to fight and with no hope but to run away.

"I…" Lin Yu wanted to say something but immediately swallowed it back. They have explored too far which is beyond their reach anymore.

"What are you going to do next? Feel free to tell me." Aizen smiled amiably.

They looked at each other as if they couldn't decide, even Lin Yu and Feng Zhi who used to be the leader of the group didn't know what to do anymore.

"Aizen, may we ask? Please answer honestly and truthfully." Lin Yu opened her mouth after sighing.

"Of course, I never lied in the first place." Aizen brushed his hand aside as he said it was true.

"Is it really your first time exploring the hidden realm?" Lin Yu asked the question she had been asking just before they entered the ancient ruins gate.

"That's true. This is the first time for me to venture into the hidden realm as well as Ana, but it's a different thing for Axel. This is not the first time for her."

Aizen informed them straightforwardly after receiving Axel's ok signal. This would be a farewell for those of these six cultivator girls who had been invited to venture deep into the ancient ruins.

Lin Yu's hunch was right once again, and she had expected it. She knew Aizen never lied.

Then one by one the cultivator girls looked at Axel and the seven new girls who suddenly appeared and joined the group.

Somehow when they saw the seven beautiful girls who were superior to them, they felt sour because their ideal man was no longer accompanied by only two extraordinary girls, now added by seven other girls.

Feng Zhi seemed to be paying attention to Axel in much more detail. Her stature, face, hair, golden eyes, robe, and accessories, she seemed to be matching Axel with someone she seemed to know.

After that, Feng Zhi paid close attention to the ornaments and treasure arsenal around Axel, and then she carefully watched the seven girls who had just appeared during the battle earlier.

She seemed to get enlightened, and only one answer that appeared in her mind at this time.

"Ah! I managed to remember it!" Feng Zhi said loudly as she clapped her hands which immediately caught the attention of the curious.

"What did you remember, Feng Zhi?" Aizen asked with a confused smile but was able to predict the answer as she looked closely at Axel.

"Um, Axel. Are you the goddess of light in legend?" Feng Zhi asked somewhat doubtfully.

Axel smiled at the question."What makes you think that?"

"Nothing, you are just like a story recorded in history and popular since decades ago. The goddess of light and the seven fairies." Feng Zhi couldn't be more sure than this.

"Fufu... I don't understand the story, but you can take it that way." Axel answered so faintly as she covered her mouth using her hand gracefully.

Even though Axel's answer was vague, it was more than enough for Feng Zhi to make a decision. Axel is indeed the goddess of light in question and the seven girls who suddenly appear are seven fairies belonging to her.

But after the questionable thing in her head was finally answered, more questions emerged.

"Then how do you get through the inspection gates before entering the hidden realm? Only under 25 can get through." Shen Xiu was unsure and helped her senior sister to ask.

"Young girl, you think that trivial gate can get in our way?" Axel felt belittled by the question and answered with a disdainful look at the girl who asked.

"S. Sorry." Shen Xiu readily apologized when she felt that her words were ruining Axel's mood.

"Sigh... I know you have a lot of questions, but it is also not our duty to answer them. It is also not within your power to know too deeply. We have guided and protected you all the way to eight thousand kilometers underground in these ancient ruins. You are good seedlings, and I don't mind being followed by you because of that. But things have turned more and more unpredictable and your lives are in danger at any more than this."

Aizen's revelation of the harsh reality made the six girls bow their heads slightly as they knew this would be their farewell.

Aizen allowed the six of them to explore deeper together and gave permission to plunder many treasures and resources because they were promising seedlings, and they were aware of that now. The man they admired was also too kind, he gave them this big opportunity just because of kindness alone.

Aizen sighed slightly as the six girls knew this would be their goodbye, even if only temporarily as he would be visiting several great sects in the future.

"Don't be gloomy like that, we will be visiting your sect in the near future. Greet us best of service when the time comes."

"Is it true?"

"Realy?"

"We'll be waiting for you!"

"It's not just to cheer us up, is it?"

One by one the girls eagerly asked about his certainty, they would happily welcome Aizen's group with the best service in their sect.

"Of course."

Aizen's confirmation makes them less gloomy. The time they spent together was no more than two days and one night and they were as attached and comfortable to Aizen as if it were a girl who had found love for the first time.

"All right, back to the topic of our conversation earlier. So, we will teleport you out of these ancient ruins. Right where the gate of the ruins we entered. You are free to go straight out of the hidden realm and report what you experienced, or continue your exploration in the hidden realm."

The choice given by Aizen is somewhat difficult considering it hasn't been two days since their exploration of the hidden realm, but since their ultimate goal has been accomplished, there's nothing to hold them back other than getting out of here.
