Fang Yu gripped the Transmission Crystal Stone tightly, uncertain whether it had the power to teleport or not, yet he still spoke, "Is this a gift of apology from you?"
Bai Qi nodded and said:
"If you insist on perceiving it that way, that’s fine."
"Good, I hope we et again."
He bowed with his hands together in respect.
Fang Yu walked toward the swirling vortex.
With a whoosh,
Fang Yu’s figure disappeared.
...
Nightti, stars, ruins.
The familiar scene returned.
"Brother Yu! You’re finally back! I’ve waited for you for half a day!" Chen Daotian was the first to rush over.
Fang Yu surveyed his surroundings and then his gaze finally rested on Chen Daotian, "How long has it been?"
"About five hours. It’s almost dawn."
Fang Yu nodded.
He had spent about half a day in the Secret Realm, the ti difference was not significant. Just that... it seems like there’s never a nightti in the Secret Realm.
"Brother Yu, did you find the Twin Lotus?"
"Mm."
Fang Yu shook the Twin Lotus in his hand.
At this mont,
Jiang Ren approached with so docunts in hand, his face filled with anticipation and excitent as he looked at the object in Fang Yu’s hand.
Fang Yu wasn’t stingy; he smiled and tossed over everything other than the Twin Lotus, saying, "These are for your son... these are all dicinal herbs for recovery. You’re a doctor, don’t tell you don’t know how to use them!"
Jiang Ren took the herbs and sniffed them in front of his nose.
This sniff was instantly invigorating; it was as if a revelation dawned on him, and he beca incredibly excited.
This was genuine dicinal material, with astonishing effects!
Thump!
Jiang Ren knelt down on the spot, his face filled with emotion as he cried, "On behalf of my son, I thank Mr. Fang for his imnse kindness... From now on, my son’s life and mine are in the service of Mr. Fang."
"Wow... it was similar to what was said last ti. It’s hard to tell which words of yours are true," Chen Daotian said with a laugh.
"Uh... last ti, I didn’t bring my son..." Jiang Ren explained.
The two n laughed together.
Fang Yu spoke, "It’s not as serious as you think, no need for lives in exchange... I just need you to help with a ticulous inventory of the Secret Realm."
"Yes!" said Jiang Ren.
"Especially those Secret Realms with fierce beasts, make sure to mark those clearly. Their destructive power is astonishing. Once they escape, our bustling city won’t withstand the tornt," Fang Yu comnded.
Several people nodded in agreent.
Chen Daotian spoke, "We just received a report from our Dark Web brothers... they’ve found so Secret Realms in less populated regions, suburban cities, or forests. But these Secret Realms seem to be guarded by highly skilled entities, our people can’t get close."
"Don’t rush... We must figure out exactly what we’re facing... This ti in the Secret Realm, the harvest was great. At least one thing is certain, we must be cautious."
"About what?"
"People and objects within the Secret Realm," Fang Yu said earnestly.
"People in the Secret Realm? No way, the conditions of so Secret Realms are extrely harsh, how could they possibly be suitable for human habitation? Even such green Secret Realms are few and far between," Chen Daotian said.
Fang Yu replied,
"If I hadn’t entered this Secret Realm, maybe I would think the sa as you. But now, regardless of the environnt, humans could exist there. Don’t forget... Humans are the most intelligent creatures. They can overco various environnts and grow... And if these people are also cultivators, what do you think then?"
Upon hearing this,
Chen Daotian shuddered.
He caught the key points in Fang Yu’s words and asked, "Brother Yu, are you saying you t other humans in this green Secret Realm?"
"That’s right!"
Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the twinkling stars in the sky, "I t Killing God, Bai Qi..."
"Killing God Bai Qi!?" Chen Daotian’s eyes widened, "Are you kidding? Isn’t that figure from the history books? Brother Yu, you must be joking; you’re talking about the sa Bai Qi who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people?!"
"It’s him," Fang Yu confird definitively.
Chen Daotian’s face was full of surprise, "That’s... quite the joke."
"Believe it or not."
"I believe... If that’s the case, then we really need to be careful. The spiritual energy in the Secret Realm, the environnt, are all far superior to our current world. Their cultivation levels must also be frighteningly powerful."
"You’re right about that."
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, "The ones with the lowest cultivation among them are all above the Great Heavenly Position."
Hearing this,
Both Chen Daotian and Jiang Ren were shaken.
If compared, then the gap between the people of modern society and them is simply too vast.
Their weakest are all at the Great Heavenly Position, whereas the people of modern society are entirely powerless.
Jiang Ren spoke calmly,
"If there are people in the Secret Realm... it confirms one thing..."
"What?"
"It confirms that the Secret Realm has been consciously opened and closed for a period of ti. I suspect... there are countless Secret Realms across this continent... I’ve checked so ancient texts, and over two thousand years ago the Secret Realms were widely opened once. After that opening, the spiritual energy began to gradually thin. Over a thousand years ago, when the spiritual energy completely weakened, the Secret Realms disappeared... Around that ti, one more thing was inconceivable. That is... when the Secret Realms were opened, countless people disappeared," Jiang Ren said.
Chen Daotian stared, "Is that so?"
"Exactly... So, I have sufficient reasons to suspect that the Secret Realms were also opened during Ancient Tis. Each ti they opened, many people disappeared."
Fang Yu chuckled and said, "What you’ve described now seems very likely to be true. However... one thing might need to be changed. This ti the Secret Realm has opened, the number of people who will disappear won’t be large; on the contrary, I have a feeling that more people will appear!"
"I agree," Chen Daotian said, "The encounters we had tonight prove it."
The three n nodded and quickly returned with their Dark Web brothers.
...
Once back at the Fang Family.
Fang Yu handed the Twin Lotus over to Ye Wenjun.
Ye Wenjun, ecstatic at the sight of the Twin Lotus, rushed off to find Xie Daoyun without even uttering a thank you.
...
In the room.
Xie Daoyun, in a white robe, white hair, and white shoes, sat in a chair, gazing into the distance.
Ye Wenjun pushed open the door, hurried to Xie Daoyun’s side, and said softly, "Sister Daoyun, the treasure that can restore your power has been found."
She thought Xie Daoyun would be delighted.
But to her surprise, Xie Daoyun only glanced at the Twin Lotus indifferently, her gaze complex as she looked back at Ye Wenjun.
"With indifference she spoke, "Wenjun, tell the truth... do you really hope that I recover my strength?"
Her voice was calm and cold, and despite her lost cultivation, years of high position lent her tone an intrinsic authority.
