"Secret Realm?" Baek Ain's companions reacted surprisingly. "You want to take a look?"

Baek Ain nodded and answered, "I mean... We still have some time before visiting the Beast Tribes, so why not explore the Central Plains a little."

"It should have been a problem, right? Seniors." He added while smiling at Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong. After all, they are Cai Lin and his bodyguards.

Cai Lin wondered about something as she never visited Secret Realm before. The same goes for Yafei and Yi Xian.

They did discover some hidden caves and areas, but they were nothing compared to a Secret Realm. And from their chasing informant, this Secret Realm is rather big and filled with treasures.

Baek Ain is interested because he might find rare materials and treasures to refine more artifacts. Or something to increase his battle prowess again.

After asking for some advice from Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong, Baek Ain knew he needed more resources to reach the Saint Realm.

Baek Ain's cultivation speed is fast because of the Record of Burning World, but with no next stage to climb, he could only accumulate his Golden Crow's Flame and slowly le-learned everything from the very foundation.

Of course, he obtained the Essence of Half-Step Saint, yet that was only sufficient for him to reach Low Half-Saint Realm. Remember, his Dou Qi Reserve and purities are one hundred if not a thousand times purer than others.

Half-Saint is unlike any realms below it.

There is no star involved, but three stages instead.

Low(Initial), Mid(Intermediate), and High(Peak).

Baek Ain sighed and remarked, "Senior, what do you think?'

The Beast Tribe's Elders couldn't help but roll their eyes at Baek Ain's question. This guy knew they couldn't reject his request to visit the Secret Realm.

"It's all up to the Saintess." Yao Ling eyed Cai Lin calmly.

Since Xue Rongrong is from the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe, her answer to Baek Ain's question is mellower than Yao Ling's. "If the Saint wants to, this elder shall follow you to the world's end."

Yao Ling was on the verge of pleading, but Cai Lin sealed the deal on this matter with her casual remark.

"Sure, let's check out this Secret Realm. I'm curious what kind of person made it and the treasure inside it." Cai Lin said while thinking about her Ancient Refining's mastery.

The corner of Yao Ling's mouth twitched as she could only sigh and follow Cai Lin's order. She should have known Baek Ain's influence was the biggest in this group.

"South-Southwest Area of the Central Plains..." Lan Rou muttered with a frown.

Baek Ain came to her side and asked, "Does something bother you?'

Lan Rou shook her head and answered weirdly instead, "I might know the location of the Secret Realm."

"Eh?" Everyone was surprised.

Shaking her head, Lan Rou sighed and added, "Even though I know the location of Secret Realm, that place is extremely mysterious... And possessed an immense danger."

"But a group of Dou Ancestors went there?" Yafei commented with a confused expression.

Yi Xian chuckled helplessly and said, "Sister Yafei, you don't understand the wish of the weak. Even if the place is dangerous, many willingly sacrifice their life to change their fate."

"And given this Secret Realm might be full of opportunity, giving it a go wasn't a bad decision."

Lan Rou nodded and covered herself in Spatial Strength. "I'll escort you guys there with the fastest route." She said confidently.

"Follow me."

The group nodded as they entered the Wormhole, feeling tidal of Spatial Strength in the surrounding. Yafei and Yi Xian have little to no mastery of Spatial Strength, so the Beast Tribe's Elders helped them.

Baek Ain, Cai Lin, and Lan Rou don't need the assistance because their Spatial Strength is strong enough to endure mere pressure.

Baek Ain could see a dark realm of full stars with a surprised look and pondered about something. Lan Rou chuckled at his reaction and stated amusingly, "This is your first time using Wormhole. I would have never thought you could make such an adorable expression."

"I could make you let out an adorable expression, you know?" Baek Ain returned with a grin.

Cai Lin slapped Baek Ain's back and said, "Stop flirting."

"Look ahead. People are traveling with transportation to resist Spatial Strength in this Realm.

Baek Ain glanced to the front and saw people using artifacts like boats, carriages, and other things to traverse inside Wormhole. He has read Battle Through the Heavens but still forgets some information like this.

Xue Rongrong suddenly tossed a massive purple-colored feather and enveloped everyone in an invisible aura, shielding them from wild Spatial Strength.

There is a hint of pride in Xue Rongrong's eyes when she is doing this.

"..." Baek Ain and others stared at her silently.

Xue Rongrong maintained her aloof look and said, "If a Half-Saint Realm Expert like me doesn't have a Spatial Ride, it would be shameful."

"Something like this is normal."

"Even Old Snake has it."

"Huh? What do you call me, Bird Brain!" Yao Lin lashed back. "This lady is only a few centuries old!"

'That's not something you should be proud of!' Baek Ain and others thought simultaneously.

[Name: Swaying Nether Bird's Feather]

[Type: Spatial Ride]

[Grade: S+]

[Description: The 34th Feather of the Nether Bird's Ancestor, which enchanted with Spatial Strength to become Spatial Ride Artifact. It could help the user transporting in the Wormhole and cover anything within a twenty-meter radius in Ancestor's Aura, protecting it from harm]

Lan Rou sighed because she forgot to retrieve her Spatial Ride from the Fallen Orchid Sect's treasury. Shaking her head, she glanced at her lover and asked for a new one later since he was a Refiner.

Everyone jumped onto the Swaying Nether Bird's Feather and followed the specific route Lan Rou pointed. They traveled for a few hours, equal to several thousand miles outside.

That's why many people preferred using Wormhole.

Even then, Wormholes aren't the safest either because they encountered two Spatial Storms on the way. Thank god they have Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong as their guardians.

[I warned you earlier] Alicia said with sarcasm.

[Spatial Storm is much more terrifying than Spatial Rift]

[If the wild Spatial Strength in the Spatial Rift you encountered is level three, then the one in this place is maxed level because the Force of Nature strengthened it]

Baek Ain chased her away and responded, 'Okay, okay, I know.'

'Stop scolding me.'

A swirl remained a few meters away from them.

Lan Rou recognized the familiar entrance and said, "Go there!"

Xue Rongrong nodded and steered the feather to the swirl, entering it without much resistance.

BOOM!

They landed in a desert and swallowed a mouthful of sand.

"PUI!" The seven of them spat immediately, removing sand from their mouths.

Baek Ain rubbed his face clean and said, "What the fuck?"

"I don't remember there was a desert here..." Lan Rou looked around weirdly. "When I was still Lan Rouxi, this place was a lush forest over three thousand miles."

Cai Lin brushed the sand off her hair and commented, "It's normal for a place to change after a few centuries. The Tager Desert used to be a meadow, but a sandstorm washed it in the past."

"This place should be the same."

"But three thousand miles..." Yafei looked around, finding nothing but a desert full of red sand. "The sandstorm is too much."

Xue Rongrong blew the sand away from them with her presence and transformed into Nether Bird, a majestic purple-feathered bird with a 30 meters wingspan. The bird reminded Baek Ain of the Golden Crow, but the luster on the feather is inferior.

"Jump on, everyone." Xue Rongrong said while landing in the desert.

"I have sensed many presences from the South."

Without further ado, everyone rides Xue Rongrong's bird form and flies away. They saw a tall monolith engraved with mysterious symbols that shone with crimson light.

"It's them." Baek Ain noticed the seven that ran away from their chaser on the ground.

The blue-robed man approached the monolith and entered a golden-colored orb into a socket, causing the surrounding space to warp slightly. A black swirl appeared and became the entrance to the secret realm.

"ZHAO YU!" The chaser arrived and roared at the Blue-Robed Man.

The blue-robed man named Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Haha, See you guys later."

"The treasure shall be ours!"

As Zhao Yu's group entered the secret realm, almost everyone in the vicinity followed them. Some wise groups waited because they didn't know if the entrance was safe.

After determining the safety ten minutes later, the rest of the people entered the Wormhole.

"Let's go." Baek Ain ordered Xue Rongrong.

Xue Rongrong nodded and flew into the entrance, arriving above the same desert but with one key difference. The sky is mellow green.

[Ding! You have entered Sage Kingdom Secret Realm]
