--- Chapter 67 ---

At the majestic podium, the top 4 of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament's contestants called to receive their rewards.

Hayate yawned with three young ladies around him. He doesn't look like a winner at all but rather a playboy.

The Heavenly Sword Villa's Master, Ling Yuefeng, looked at them with somewhat satisfaction on his face. Well, he also gives Xia Qingyue more appreciation.

"Congratulations to all of you." Ling Yuefeng declared with a smile on his face.

"The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament hasn't changed for years, but we finally got new faces this year."

"We also witnessed the power of this new generation and hoped they could prosper this land."

Hayate ignored Ling Yuefeng's statements because they were pretty generic to ignite the spirit of young people.

It's a good action from Ling Yuefeng, but they needed a reality check and a better environment to improve themselves than empty engaging words.

"Then, let's reward these young people!" Ling Yuefeng opened a crate behind him. An armor with dragon-like scales entered everyone's sight.

"Junior Hayate, This Dragonscale Armor shall be your 1st ranked reward." He handed the armor to Hayate, who only nodded and picked it away.

Ling Yuefeng took a small tube from the crate and handed it to Xia Qingyue. "Junior Qingyue, please take these three drops of Purple Veined Marrow Quenching Fluid."

"It can help you refine your bone marrow and brain, enhancing physical and mental prowess."

He tried to grasp Xia Qingyue's hand, but she quickly grabbed the tube and left no chance for him to do so.

"Thank you." Xia Qingyue said coldly. Her black eyes looked at Ling Yuefeng with disgust.

"The next reward is 1 Purple Striped Dragon Heart Pellet." Ling Yuefeng gave a small wooden box to Cang Yue.

"Thank you, Uncle Yuefeng." Cang Yue answered with a polite smile.

"As for the last." The Heavenly Sword Villa's Master added while moving his gaze to the nervous Xiao Bing'er.

"I'll give you an offer, Junior Bing'er."

"Do you want to become my disciple or take three earth profound enhancement pills and 5000 Purple profound coins?"

Fran took Hayate's advice seriously and whispered something to her disciple's ears.

Xiao Bing'er looked at Ling Yuefeng and answered, "I'll just take the pills and money."

"Thank you for the offer, Sect's Master, but I already have a teacher."

Ling Yuefeng chuckled and responded, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Xiao Bing'er nodded while glancing at Fran.

The Heavenly Sword Villa's Master could only shake his head in disappointment. Well, you can't get everything in this world.

He looked at the crowd and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a cheer to our Blue Wind Ranking Tournament's winners."

"WOAH!!!"

"YEAYYY!!"

"HAYATE! HAYATE! HAYATE! GIVE ME YOUR CHILD!"

"XIA QINGYUE, PLEASE STEP ON US!"

"PRINCESS CANG YUE, WE ARE YOUR FANS!!!"

"XIAO BING'ER! YOU GO, GIRL!"

A loud yet tremendous applause and cheer echoed in the Heaven Sword Arena, giving Xiao Bing'er goosebumps all over her skin because no one ever cheered her existence like this.

Hayate was annoyed and walked off the podium because they had another event a few hours later. He was followed by Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue, leaving Xiao Bing'er alone in the center of attention.

He warned Fran beforehand, so Xiao Bing'er should be safe from these people's hands.

Cang Yue gave Hayate a peck on the cheek and said, "You fulfilled your promise."

"Maybe this big sister should reward you more~."

Xia Qingyue frowned and commented indifferently, "More like he was the one who would reward you."

"No, obviously, it would be his reward because he could take my first time~." Cang Yue winked her eyes, which left Xia Qingyue quiet for a moment.

"You say a lot for being a virgin." Xia Qingyue abused her privilege by sleeping first with Hayate.

Cang Yue was speechless. She would never expect Xia Qingyue to spit such venom at her, but then she is too weak to help Hayate.

Her hand balled into a fist, wanting to throw a punch at this girl but held herself back in this place.

She smiled gently and answered, "We'll see in the future."

Hayate sighed inside and commented, "You two, don't fight with each other."

"Also, Qingyue, who allowed you to say something like that in public?"

Xia Qingyue lowered her head and pouted, "Hmph, She was the one who flirted with you..."

"I know she's your fiance, but still..."

There is a dark thought inside Xia Qingyue's head about doing something to Cang Yue, but Hayate will hate her after that.

As they arrived in the hallway, Hayate gave each of them a kiss on the forehead. "We'll be a big family." He said calmly.

"It's good to have a rivalry, but hurting each other is never nice."

"Qingyue, Cang Yue, you're sisters."

"Remember that."

He opened his arms to them and said, "Hug time?"

Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue stared at each other, smiling a little because of Hayate's invitation.

They lunged themselves into Hayate and hugged each other for a few minutes.

'This is not bad.' Hayate thought to himself.

Xia Qingyue felt incredibly relaxed and cuddled into Hayate's embrace more. Her whole body is so comfortable that she can melt into his body.

Cang Yue also felt the same and her heart at ease when hugging Hayate. It's simply a heavenly feeling.

"Oh my, why don't I join in as well?" Hong Guan giggled and suddenly hugged them.

"Um, me too." Little Ghost appeared from the shadow and clutched Hayate from behind.

Chu Yueli also stepped into the hallway and immediately saw this odd scene. Her eyes widened in surprise and loneliness for some reason.

"Come here," Hayate said while tilting his head, causing a smile to bloom on Chu Yueli's face.

"If you say so~!" Chu Yueli joined the big hug.

Hayate's cold blood started to waver, but it was still in full effect because he couldn't detach it from his cultivation. Yet, This moment is somewhat an exception within his heart.

After this, they celebrated the day with a warm hotpot.

--- The Following Day ---

Every Blue Wind Ranking Tournament's sects, which had reached the top ten immediately, were called by Heavenly Sword Villa's Master.

Hayate had expected this from the start. He walked to the Heaven Basin Realm's portal located deep within the northern section of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range.

He unhurriedly was followed by Hong Guan, Cang Yue, and fully-healed Feng Juechen.

As for the Frozen Cloud Asgard's side, Chu Yueli brought Xia Qingyue, Wu Xuexin, and Shui Wushuang.

Ling Jie rested his head on a wall and noticed Hayate was walking toward this place. After being defeated by this guy, he had quite a respect for him.

"I'll win next!" He shouted with spirit while running away to his big brother.

Hayate felt amused by Ling Jie's action and commented, "Sure, I'll wait for your improvement."

When Hayate and other factions arrived on the site, Ling Yuefeng and several other elders from Heavenly Sword Villa greeted them.

Xuanyuan Yufeng is also here with an odd blush on her face. Her hand was seizing a stained white handkerchief, which released a floral scent.

She smiled at Hayate and tried to wave her hand at him, but Ling Yuefeng disturbed her by walking forward to Hong Guan.

"I hope everyone is ready." Ling Yuefeng said while looking around.

He pointed at a swirling blue portal near a huge rock and continued, "The place beyond this portal is a Secret Realm."

"It's called Heaven Basin Secret Realm, full of innumerable resources and treasures, and at the same time, it also contains immeasurable danger."

"The realm is immeasurably huge, and nobody has been able to travel to the end."

"This realm can only take at most fifty people at a time, which led to the top ten ranking sects in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament getting a chance to explore it with five people per sect."

"When opened, People can only explore the realm for two days."

He stared at everyone and solemnly added, "After which everybody will get teleported out against their will. If they are dead, they will remain in the realm."

"So please stay in a group."

"Is there anyone who has a question?" He opened a chance to ask questions.

Hayate opened his mouth and questioned, "Do you have any idea who created this realm?"

Ling Yuefeng shook his head and answered, "We don't know, but some assumption led to an existence of a super strong practitioner who had reached at least the Sovereign Profound Realm."

"Or even Profound God, who decided to open a chance for us, mortals."

Hayate sneered inside because Profound God is just a cultivator with Divine Origin Realm. Jasmine had explained in the past that creating a realm is possible but requires a tremendous force.

Divine Origin Realm cultivators wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

'That portal...' Jasmine's voice appeared in Hayate's head.

'It's weird.'

'I've never seen the secret realm's portal like this.'

Hayate glanced at Hong Guan and signaled her to proceed with their second plan.

Hong Guan smiled and tapped her shoulders, causing 4/5 people in the crowd to look at her. They are Ghosts who had disguised themselves as other sects' members.

"Then, shall we enter the Basin Secret Realm?" She said, to which everyone responded with a nod.

The portal widened, and they could see the weather inside the Secret Realm. It's just pure white land with low temperatures.

Every elder's expression in the area hardened.

"Fuck!" Someone in the crowd cursed their luck.

"It's fucking snowstorm this time."

"This is bad! We can't enter recklessly-." Ling Yuefeng warned them, but Hayate entered the portal anyway.

--- Heaven Basin Secret Realm ---

Hayate landed on a snowy field and looked around with golden eyes, scanning through the snowstorm.

AUUU~!

A wolf howl echoed in the area, causing Hayate's ears to twitch because it was familiar.

He laughed wryly and said, "Great, I found another Kaiju of mine."

"Werewolf."
