Chen Ming did not return to the Prince Mansion but went directly to the Six Gates to find Master Hong of the Hall of Reincarnation to demand a spot to enter the Secret Realm.
Master Hong received him and carefully examined him a few times, "I heard you've gathered the Yang Spirit, which truly shocks me. Unexpectedly, your talent in the Dao of cultivation surpasses even your skills in the Martial Dao."
"You've overpraised me, Master."
"You've come to see me for the matter of catching the traitor?"
"No. I came here this time for a spot in the Secret Realm. The merits I earned from my diplomatic mission to Southern Chu should be enough to exchange for a spot in a top-grade Secret Realm, right?"
Master Hong said, "Naturally."
Chen Ming asked, "Very well, when will the spot for the recently opened top-grade Secret Realm be available?"
"Three days later. However, that Secret Realm is quite dangerous. Besides that, another top-grade Secret Realm will open in three months—"
