Chapter 35: Meeting Sonya and Yuki
Marx couldn’t help but feel speechless. Did he want to meet them?
He did want to meet Yuki.
"Why not?"
He calmly nodded, trying to suppress his urge to meet Yuki.
His reply surprised Tina. She showed a large smile as she said.
"That’s wonderful! I will go; call them immediately!"
Saying so, she left the room as if she were running away.
Marx didn’t care about her. He just wanted to meet Yuki and learn more about Sonya.
This woman was unique as well because most of the people in the cultivation would rarely decide to help their friends.
Unless their bonds were extremely strong and they always had a positive mindset.
The fact that Sonya’s entire family was destroyed meant she only had Yuki as a friend or a bond.
Not to mention, there was a high chance that Yuki also lost her family during the war. In that case, it made more sense for Sonya to help Yuki.
Both lost their families, and both were childhood friends.
Soon, two women walked into the room. The moment they looked at each other, Yuki’s eyes froze.
Although Marx had disguised himself, he was the owner of the Innate Dao Body. So, it was easy for Yuki to sense him.
"Are you the one my aunt wants me to meet so much? You don’t look that great."
Sonya folded her arms and spoke. Although her words were harsh, she showed no disgust, anger, or disdain.
"My name is Tyler. Nice to meet you!"
Yuki knew Marx had recognized her, but seeing him still use a fake name, she decided not to expose him.
Seeing him extend his hand, Sonya shook his hand and said.
"My name is Sonya Swift. This is Yuki Grace."
Hearing that, Tyler sat down while Yuki spoke.
"Did you come here to find me?"
"Huh? Do you know each other?"
Sonya was surprised by Yuki’s words.
"Don’t give yourself too much credit! I just came here for the ticket to enter the Secret Realm. By the way, we met while exploring a ruin."
Marx replied.
"I see! Since you are Yuki’s friend, I am happy to befriend you."
Sonya put on a lovely smile as she caught Yuki’s hand.
Seeing this smile, Marx thought.
’She is quite happy and naive. No wonder Yuki felt so guilty after taking her opportunity.’
"You know, we might become friends faster than Yuki and I. After all, we aren’t exactly friends?"
Marx stared at Yuki and chuckled.
Yuki gritted her teeth. She realized what Marx was trying to say. Thinking about it, she angrily spoke.
"Don’t try to fool my friends with a fake name and a fake face!"
"You are lying?"
Sonya’s expression drastically changed, especially when she thought about her aunt.
"What about your contract with my aunt?"
Marx hurriedly explained.
"That’s real! I just didn’t want to reveal my identity for some reason. Though, Yuki, you haven’t revealed why you are hiding your true cultivation."
His words stunned Sonya even more. She turned her head around and asked.
"Are you also hiding?"
Yuki’s expression darkened, but she took a deep breath and released her cultivation without releasing a lot of pressure.
"This...It’s Foundation Establishment Realm! You reached this realm so quickly?"
"Wait, I remember something. After I met you two months ago, I passed out. Later, I found that I had awakened a powerful physique, and my spiritual root also improved."
"Was it your doing?"
When Sonya said that, her face showed a complicated expression.
Yuki flicked her on the forehead and angrily shouted.
"Idiot! Don’t reveal the truth in front of others!"
Even Marx was speechless. After all, Sonya revealed everything like a naive fool.
"But he knows about your cultivation realm. I am your best friend, and I don’t even know that."
Sonya put on a pitiful, teary face as she spoke.
"Wait, could it be you two are together?"
Her eyes widened at the thought of such a possibility.
Her words made Yuki’s face turn red with anger and shyness. On the other hand, Marx looked away, neither denying nor agreeing.
Even though they didn’t reply, Sonya had already got her answers. She couldn’t help but feel flustered.
"But my aunt wanted us to be together. I can’t do that if you are my best friend’s love."
Pa!
Yuki slapped her on the head.
"Are you crazy? You don’t even know this person."
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Don’t hit me in the head, Yuki!"
Sonya crouched down, holding her head as she spoke. Then, she raised her head with great difficulty as she replied.
"But my aunt really wants me to be with him. I don’t know what’s going on with her."
Yuki suddenly got silent.
Yeah! How could she forget about the impending doom of the Swift Family? She also knew they had prepared for it.
Not to save their family, but just to save Sonya.
Because Sonya was the only one who had the highest chance of reaching the Golden Core Realm.
Swift Family hadn’t offended anyone, but they had some enemies.
Xing and Nico Families!
Both of them wanted the profit of the Taixu Treasure House, while the Thousand Beasts Controlling Sect wanted an entry to the Secret Realm.
So, in order to destroy the Swift Family as quickly as possible, Thousand Beasts Controlling Sect sent a Foundation-Established Cultivator with a Beast General.
That marked the end of the Swift Family. Regardless of their ten Foundation Established Cultivators, none of them could fight a Beast General and survive.
More importantly, those two families had also sent their own Foundation-established cultivators.
Yuki knew the key to changing Sonya’s fate was to kill that Beast General, but its strength was equal to that of a Golden Core Cultivator.
That’s why she didn’t try to restrict her cultivation despite knowing about the Secret Realm.
She had already reached the Mid-Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With her resources and experience, reaching Late-Stage within four months wouldn’t be a problem.
And that’s exactly what she planned to do.
Thinking about it, Yuki said.
"Your aunt is just worried that your naivety will one day cost you your life. She just thinks he can take care of you."
"Humph! I am not naive."
Sonya pouted.
Looking at her cute expression, Yuki sighed. Before the destruction of her family, Sonya was truly naive.
It was this event that changed her forever.
When they met for the second time, Yuki couldn’t even recognize her, even though her face had barely changed.
"I think we shouldn’t talk about relationships while our cultivation is still low. Let’s just be friends!"
Marx smiled.
Hearing that, Sonya’s eyes lit up.
"Yes, we can be friends. So, three of us are friends now?"
Yuki couldn’t help but feel speechless hearing those similar words. After making friends, Marx would always be the one to take advantage of others.
"By the way, since you’ve reached Foundation Establishment Realm. You won’t participate in the Secret Realm."
"Sonya, you won’t plan to reach Foundation Establishment Realm soon, right?"
Sonya frantically shook her head.
"No, no, no, I want to experience this Secret Realm. I have been suppressing my improvements, and I will continue to do so."
Hearing that, Yuki nodded.
Since Sonya’s Spiritual Root and Physiques had improved, her cultivation was bound to improve, but it didn’t.
It could only mean her desire to enter the Secret Realm was higher than her desire to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.
And her base wasn’t that strong either. For example, previous her could be considered a genius in a small city like Arashi.
But overall, in a country like Niddhog, she couldn’t even reach the top thousand.
It was only after she received that legacy that she could reach the top fifty of the Niddhog country.
Reaching the top fifty was no joke; almost everyone in this rank could reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
After Yuki experienced the power of the golden bead and thought about Sonya’s future, she realized something strange.
The golden bead didn’t pass the energy into her body; rather, her body forcefully pulled it out.
This happened because of her Nine Lives Rebirth Body, which pulled all of the energy from the golden bead.
So, how much energy was that?
In the billions of years of this universe, not a single person had ever managed to evolve their Nine Lives Rebirth Body into an Innate Rebellious Body.
Thousands have awakened this physique, but none have evolved.
This made her realize the energy inside that golden bead was extremely unique. Not just in the sense that it was powerful.
Rather, it was so rare that no one in the cosmos had ever acquired this kind of energy, and even if they did, they probably didn’t have her physique.
After all, even she didn’t know what that energy was.
She only knew the Time Paper used thirty percent of its Time Energy just to restore the golden bead.
In two months, she had produced 0.0003 percent Time Energy after practicing the Return to Origin Technique.
