Chapter 55

Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, realizing that even just two of these people were First Return Period experts, each capable of leveling Wanghai City. Now, at least two of them had suddenly appeared here.

Steadying his nerves, Zhao Shuo whispered, "These experts are probably among the top in Death Island. I wonder why they have secretly gathered here."

At this moment, a tall, dark-skinned man among the dozen or so people waved a large broad axe and roared, "We've all been here before, so there's no need to repeat the rules. The Jiu Hua Secret Realm opens every five thousand years, and the opportunities are determined by fate. What each of us gains depends on our luck. I hope everyone avoids provoking the demon kings inside; I'm sure none of us want to be hunted to death."

A dwarf, who was only about a meter tall, said, "Hudeli, why are you saying so much nonsense? Let's all work together to seal off this valley, then wait for the Jiu Hua Secret Realm to open."

Hudeli, the tall man with the broad axe, glanced at the dwarf with disdain and said, "Dwarf Li, do you need to remind us? Let's all work together."

As they spoke, the dozen or so experts, all at least First Return Period, acted in unison. Beams of light shot from their hands, and in the blink of an eye, the entire valley, spanning dozens of miles, was completely sealed off. Unless the seal disappeared, one could only leave but not enter. Of course, if someone could break the seal from the outside, it would be possible, but remember, this seal was set up by a dozen First Return Period experts. Even a Dao Lord would have to put in considerable effort to break it.

The dozen First Return Period experts were completely unaware that their every move was being observed by Zhao Shuo and Bai Jianjia. Perhaps they were too confident, making the mistake of not considering that there could be others in the valley just a few miles away.

"Jiu Hua Secret Realm?"

Zhao Shuo looked at Bai Jianjia with confusion, and Bai Jianjia, who didn't seem much more knowledgeable, also looked puzzled, but there was a hint of joy in her eyes, suggesting she had some understanding of the Jiu Hua Secret Realm.

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but tug at Bai Jianjia's sleeve and whispered, "Bai Jianjia, do you know what the Jiu Hua Secret Realm is?"

Shaking her head, Bai Jianjia said, "I've never heard of the Jiu Hua Secret Realm, so how could I know anything about it?"

Zhao Shuo pouted, "Since you don't know anything, why do you look so happy? What are you rejoicing about?"

Bai Jianjia glanced at Zhao Shuo with disdain and whispered, "You really are uneducated. I wonder how someone like you, who knows nothing, managed to cultivate to this level and even possess a top-tier innate magical artifact. Could it be that the heavens are blind?"

Zhao Shuo looked smug, as if Bai Jianjia was praising him, and said, "You don't need to envy me; your treasure isn't bad either."

Bai Jianjia really couldn't do anything about Zhao Shuo, whose thick skin had been honed in the 21st century. In the ancient world, few people had such a thick skin.

"Although I don't know the specifics of the Jiu Hua Secret Realm, I do know what a secret realm is. In ancient times, countless Dao Lords fell, and their bodies transformed into the earth and mountains. Their essence and blood, gathered in their dantian and sea of consciousness, evolved into various secret realms, grottos, and blessed lands. Since these Dao Lords generally opened their small worlds in these two places, the grottos, blessed lands, and secret realms that evolved from them are likely to contain the lifetime collections of a Dao Lord..."

As Zhao Shuo listened to Bai Jianjia, his eyes lit up. According to Bai Jianjia, this was an ancient treasure. Just imagine, the treasure of an ancient Dao Lord. What could be inside? Even if it were trash, it would now be extremely precious. If he could find it...

As he thought, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but drool, and Bai Jianjia, seeing his appearance, didn't mock him. After all, when she first heard about such things, she, like Zhao Shuo, had been filled with fantasies of one day discovering a grotto or secret realm.

Just as Zhao Shuo was daydreaming, a nine-colored light shot out from the valley. However, when the nine-colored light shot into the sky, it was blocked by the seal set up by Old Lady Kuru and the others.

Dwarf Li looked at the pillar of light with anticipation and said, "This Jiu Hua light pillar is still so dazzling. If it were to reach the sky, wouldn't it attract everyone on Death Island?"

As the light pillar gradually diminished, a nine-colored vortex appeared in the space where the light had disappeared, shimmering and radiant.

Hudeli tightened his grip on the broad axe and was the first to enter the vortex, disappearing instantly. Old Lady Kuru and the others were not surprised by Hudeli's disappearance and followed him into the vortex.

Soon, all the dozen or so experts had entered the Jiu Hua Secret Realm, and Zhao Shuo and Bai Jianjia, who had been hiding in the shadows, let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally, they're gone. I was about to suffocate!"

Zhao Shuo took deep breaths, looking as if he had just seen the light of day again. Bai Jianjia wasn't much better, considering the immense pressure of hiding among so many experts.

Stretching their bodies, Zhao Shuo and Bai Jianjia walked to the seven-colored vortex and looked at the shimmering vortex. "Bai Jianjia, this secret realm is a small world, and it must be vast. Old Lady Kuru and the others will surely disperse, as they are all powerful. But we two can barely protect ourselves. If we disperse, we might not be able to get any benefits, right?"

Bai Jianjia looked at Zhao Shuo and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Zhao Shuo chuckled, "My point is that we should stay together and try to appear in the same place. This way, we have a better chance of getting benefits. Otherwise, even if we find something, we might not have the strength to obtain it. Do you agree?"

Bai Jianjia admitted that Zhao Shuo's words made sense but frowned when she saw him staring at her. "What are you doing?"

Zhao Shuo said, "I'm thinking whether we should hold hands or hug..."

Bai Jianjia's eyes swept over him, and Zhao Shuo quickly stopped, chuckled, and thought for a moment. Bai Jianjia extended her white, jade-like hand and grabbed Zhao Shuo's large hand, saying, "You better behave, or I'll make you pay."

Feeling Bai Jianjia's jade-like hand, Zhao Shuo nodded with a look of enjoyment, "Yes, yes, I'll behave!"
