"Nascent soul realm?" Aana raised her eyebrows in a surprised manner upon hearing that term from Maria's mouth, this is the first time she is hearing this term, Aana knew that maria is someone who has higher cultivation than her but she didn't know what exactly her cultivation base is, despite trying multiple times she failed to see through her cultivation base.

"I understand if that's what you want then I am ready to dual cultivate with you" after a momentary silence yohan finally broke his silence and looked at maria in a calm manner,a hint of surprise appeared on maria's face hearing yohan's quick response and seeing those calm expression on his face, unlike Aana he was not surprised to hear about Nascent soul realm, Maria couldn't control her curiosity and she finally decided to confront him.

"You knew about Nascent soul realm dont you?" She asked him caughting Aana by surprise, Aana tilted her head and she looked at Yohan in disbelief.

"What is she talking about yohan, how did you know about something that even I am not aware of,she is spouting nonsense won't she?" Aana ask in anticipation afterall it had been eighty years since she started cultivating under Evelyn's supervision and being one of her disciples Evelyn never mentioned anything related to Nascent soul realm to her, Aana knew if her master knew about that she would definitely told her about something this significant, but soon Aana's facial expressions become dark and solemn when yohan broke his silence.

"Yes, I am aware of the existence of Nascent soul realm" Yohan responded without any hesitation, Hearing Yohan Maria took a deep sigh and closed her eyes for a moment before opening them."How did you know? only a handful of people knows about those hidden realms," Maria asked to yohan.

"That I can't tell you"yohan responded to maria without giving any thought,yohan was very well aware that he can't tell her or anyone about the existence of the system because it will complicate things for him if anyone came to know about the system, he maybe reached the heavenly soul realm but he knew that he has to be very careful when it comes to revealing his secret and Maria is someone who he met recently and he knows nothing about her background, the entire room turned dead silent when yohan refused of telling maria about his source of information.

"Then can I ask you something else?"After a few moments of silence Maria regained her composure and looked at yohan.

"Sure, go ahead" Yohan nodded his head.

"Why did you agree to dual-cultivating with me when you already know about those hidden realms and I am pretty sure you also know how to attain them?" Maria looked at Yohan in a serious manner.

"It's simple lady maria I gave you my words, I promised you that I am going to repay you no matter what and I am not someone who breaks my promise"yohan responded to her directly looking into her beautiful eyes.

"Even after knowing that I am taking advantage of your yang qi and after attaining my goal I might try to betray you or worst try to kill you because If I reach the Nascent soul realm then there is no one inside this entire kingdom who could withstand against me," Maria said as she looked yohan, Hearing her words Aana gulped nervously while yohan's facial expressions remain unchanged."I don't really care, a promise is a promise and I am someone who is very clumsy at keeping my promises, it's your choice whether you want to leave or stay after attaining your goal"yohan responded to maria, hearing yohan's words a bright smile appeared on maria's face and she shook her head.

"You always amuse me yohan, let's talk about this later, I am going to remove the barrier that was placed on this place," Maria said to him and with those words she disappeared from his sight leaving Aana and yohan alone when she left Aana tilted her head and looked yohan in a serious manner.

"Are you sure about this, what if she tries to kill you after attaining the Nascent soul realm, this could be disastrous for you and the people of this kingdom, if that happened even my master can't do anything to stop her, she will become the first person to attain the Nascent soul realm" Aana took yohan's hand and said those words to him in a trembling voice.

"She will become the First person to attain the nascent soul realm? bullishit, do you still believe that crap Aana,"yohan placed one of his hands over Aana's hand and caressed it before responding to her, Aana's facial expressions changed drastically upon hearing yohan's words.

"What do you mean by that yohan, you are scaring me, my master is the only one who is close to attaining the Next major realm or should I say attaining the nascent soul realm, she is the strongest cultivator inside the entire kingdom" Aana exclaimed as she looked yohan in a serious manner,yohan exhale deeply and he shook his head.

"I don't know Aana but deep down in my heart I always knew that there are forces that exist which are beyond than our imagination, you may call it a hunch,"yohan said as he looked at Aana in calm manner, Aana exhale deeply and a moment later she placed her head on yohan's heart before hugging him tightly.

"Yes yohan you are right for a moment I was blinded but there are forces that are greater than our imagination and they indeed exist, just like that woman..." Aana exclaimed as she remembered the event which happened inside the eternal prison. There was a mysterious woman who infiltrated the eternal prison and rescued that old man Lee tao who cowardly attacked Evelyn, those memories started surfacing in Aana's head.

"How about we call it a day, go to bed and take some good sleep while I go and see Elsa," Yohan caressed Aana's back and said to her.

"I understand but I will wait for you, I don't want to sleep alone"Aana raised her head and looked at yohan in a serious manner.action
