Chapter 219 – Paradise City

"You're right… However, not her. She is one of your sect disciples that we encountered along the way." Seth pointed towards Jiang Yi. 

"Oh? She is Duke Jiang's daughter, the one that passed our particular admittance test." 

Jiang Yi stepped forward and bowed towards her. 

"Junior Jiang Yi greets Senior Palace Master Yushui." 

The way she acted was so respectful, that if Seth didn't see what happened that day, he would certainly think she was a role model disciple. 

Palace Master Yuhui nodded and said: "I have to thank you for bringing Seth and his friend here. You've helped me by doing that." 

"I did nothing much Palace Master, just told him to follow me, since I would be entering the sect today. We were just lucky to meet at the right place and time. Maybe it was fate." 

Seth was amused by what she was saying and how she was making it sound like they became good friends. What amused him the most, was the fact she had a thick enough skin to fabricate that story, even though he was right in front of her. 

"So that's what happened… Actually, the Glazed Lake Sect has more than one single entrance, but all of them are only able to be opened from the inside, so it is impossible for anyone to find it, unless you're someone from the sect. That's why your role was crucial. The only person able to come and go freely is the Lake Goddess. As for the others, there are some restrictions." 

"What kind of restrictions?" Seth asked since he didn't want Caizhi getting imprisoned inside there forever. 

"Don't worry, this is not a prison. Those restrictive measures, are how we control the entrance of the disciples that had to leave. Everyone is naturally free to go outside, but to get in, there are some special measures to be taken." 

"Cool." 

"Come, let's go inside, use your mana to bring those people to the lake and I will control the formation to allow us in." Yushui instructed Seth to help the members of his group. 

"Alright." 

Seth went to where Meihui, Meiyi and Rina were and said: "Let's go, this is the place we will be staying for some time." 

He took Meiyi from Meihui's arms and used his Mana to support his mother-in-law's steps towards the lake. She saw that she was stepping in a platform made of mana, but it didn't differ much from a normal road. 

Rina used her own Mana while Jiang Yi was a water element user and could at least walk slowly on water. Jiang Yi was a talented individual and the skill she was executing, was something only Qi Transformation or stronger cultivators would be able to execute; yet she was doing it. 

"Close your eyes and do not resist. You'll feel a suction from below, but that's part of the process." Palace Master Yushui instructed them, before activating the formation. 

Since they were not members of the Glazed Lake, she had to make the barrier recognized them as an exception first, before actually pulling them in. Very quickly, their energy signature was recognized and the following process started. 

Slowly, their bodies started to sink down but none of them felt the lake water touching their skin or clothes. Less than twenty seconds later, all of them were gone. They had transmigrated to another dimension, a private dimension where the Glazed Lake Sect was located. 

This private dimension was something like the Fire Labyrinth, but much smaller. However, even though it was relatively smaller than the Fire Labyrinth, it was still as big as a whole human city. 

After passing through that thin spatial layer, they didn't appear on the air like they expected, since it was the point of view they had from the outside. They appeared inside an open building right at the heart of the city. The group immediately saw many disciples moving left and right, doing their jobs and doing their things. 

The situation here looked just like if they had arrived right at the central district of a human city, a really vivid and movement place, full of disciples. But Seth felt a mind-blowing sensation after he activated his Soul Sense briefly. 

Every single person he saw was a woman. Most of them were definitely beautiful and talented women, comparing to the standards outside. He was inside a heaven for men and on top of that, he was alone in that paradise land. But instead of getting excited, he started to prepare himself for the incoming trouble. There would certainly be a cost for steeping up in this paradise. 

"Wow!" Rina suddenly exclaimed after admiring the place. She was able to see a beautiful palace standing tall some kilometers away from the area they were. After that, she realized there was another palace at a considerable distance away from the first one. 

She turned around, seeing that on each of the twelve borders of that city, there was a huge and magnificent palace. Each one of them, were where one of the Twelve Palace Masters lived together with their exclusive disciples, training and accompanying their growth every day. 

Chun Meihui wasn't able to describe how beautiful this place was. She tried to compare it with Misty Horizon, but she had to admit that this place was at least ten time bigger than her small village. In terms of appearance, it was just like the Blue Breeze Capital City, a fresh and lively environment that was filled with the water element. However, quality of everything here, was greater than there. 

Seth was the only one that was not admiring the city, since Lexi was screaming inside his head that she loved the quality of the spiritual energy in the air, urging him to absorb some of it together with her. 

"Come with me, I'll bring you to my Palace, where you will be able to stay for the time being." Yushui said and started to walk away from the building. 

Seth and the members of his group followed after her, but right after they left the building, the entire street seemed to have paused. All those disciples suddenly turned their heads towards Seth, not believing they were actually seeing a man, even though he was right before their eyes. 

"Look!" 

"Oh my god! Is that actually a…" 

"A man! There is a man here!" 

"What? Where? Let me see him!" 

Suddenly a lot of disciples started to gather around the area Seth and his group was, almost circling them. They even ignored Palace Master Yushui's presence, only focusing on Seth. 

"It's real!" 

"There is a man here!" 

Rina disliked the way those women were acting, but she didn't say anything. However, she approached Seth's body, as if ready to protect him from any of those hungry wolves eyeing him. 

Chun Meihui didn't understand why those people were acting like that. She was but a simple woman, that never imagined other women would absent from having any contact with men, just for the chance to grow stronger. 

Jiang Yi watched what was happening, but she kept silent. There was a crafty light inside her eyes, as she made sure to secretly follow the group, doing the least amount of noise possible. She saw her chance of jumping up the ladder at this moment and decided to grab it. 

The group started to move away, following Yushui towards the palace she was responsible for. As they moved through the city, that crowd of curious females followed them like they were beautiful flies following an attractive light. 

Lexi was so focused on trying to find the best spot for collecting spiritual energy, that she lost the chance to make any remarks on this crazy situation. 

Palace Master Yushui ignored all those girls following them, moving steadily towards the palace she was in charge of. Her head was not on the present, but on how she would convince the other Palace Masters, to let Seth do what she wanted him to do. 

Twenty minutes later, they were right outside the area that delimited the bounds of her palace. In front of them, there was the gate that led to the frontal garden, where it would be ten thousand times more peaceful, than the streets behind them. 

The gate opened and Seth's group accompanied Palace Master Yushui inside. Impressively, not a single person tried to go after them. All those women stopped right outside the gate, respecting the delimited area. 

They knew how strong a Palace Master was and none of them dared to get the enmity of one of them, since their dreams were to actually study the cultivation road under their tutelage. 

After passing by a beautiful garden and arriving before a huge door, Yushui used her Mana to undo the formation protecting the entrance. That door opened up automatically, reacting with Yushui's Mana signature, what alerted the disciples residing inside that building. 

Jiayi was the first one to appear, running forward to greet her Master. 

"Master, you're back! Eh?! Senior Brother Seth???!!!" Jiayi got surprised after seeing Seth's face. 

Instead of going to where her master was, she ran towards Seth, already full of questions for him.
