“All right; stop being such a coward! You’re a man, so you should take responsibility for sleeping with her! A dragon and a phoenix make a perfect pair anyway! Also, that girl has given you all of her power, so she must be deeply in love with you! You should marry her if you have the chance. Anyway, let’s put that aside for now. Hurry up and help me find the location marked on the treasure map!” Ranzoph urged him.
Jared took a deep breath to calm himself down before heading out using the treasure map as a reference point. Although his strength was restricted by Heavenly Law, there was no one else in the secret realm, so he had nothing to worry about.
Chester and the others figured Jared must have entered the secret realm as he had been inside the vortex for far too long. Quindon was injured by the strong current of the vortex and got ejected out of there, but. Jared was always full of surprises.
A loud rumbling noise echoed throughout the area as the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently all of a sudden. “Oh, no! This secret realm is about to collapse! We need to leave right now!” Quindon shouted at the top of his voice.
Hearing this, everyone quickly ran toward the Teleportation Array and returned to their respective secret realms. Chester glanced at the black vortex one final time before he was forced to leave as well. The appearance of a new secret realm meant the destruction of an old one.
However, none of them expected the secret realm that would disappear to be the one they were having their Secret Realm Conference in. It was most likely related to the Dragon Bell that Jared had taken away.
It wasn’t long before everyone inside the secret realm had evacuated the place. There was a loud boom as the secret realm broke into several pieces and disappeared completely.
Jared was still rushing toward the location marked on the treasure map, so he was completely unaware that the secret realm used for the Secret Realm Conference had collapsed and disappeared.
He suddenly paused in his tracks after making it through a dense jungle, and the look on his face grew anxious in an instant.
Jared had detected multiple different auras that were closing in on his direction. “Huh? Why are there people here in this secret realm?” asked Ranzoph in confusion. Jared, too, was just as surprised.
Could it be that the others came in when they didn’t see me come back out? With my strength being restricted, I don’t want to run into these people until I know who they are! I should hide somewhere and see how things go!
With that in mind, he quickly hid himself and waited to see what would happen. Soon, dozens of figures slowly came into view. Jared was frozen in shock when he saw who they were.
These people aren’t from the Eight Major Secret Realms! They’re from the hidden realm! I may not know most of them, but I do know Garthor from Stormwind Sect and Isaac from Alchemical Sect! There are a few more middle-aged men among them. Judging by the strength of their auras, I’d say they’ve achieved Martial Arts Sovereign! They’re most likely sect leaders!
“Who would’ve thought an entrance to a secret realm would open up near our hidden realm, huh? This place is amazing! Simply breathing in the air is enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed! I think I’ll move my sect here!” Wrey said enthusiastically.
Isaac’s eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the herbs growing all over the mountain. “Yes, you’re right! The herbs in this place are rich in variety! I think I’m going to move Alchemical Sect here too! This place is many times bigger than our hidden realm, so we won’t have to compete against each other for territory and resources!”
“Don’t get too carried away just yet, you guys. If this secret realm has an existing owner, then we could get into very serious trouble for trespassing without permission! I think we should explore this place thoroughly before making any further plans. If there really is no one here, then we can consider moving here,” Hugh said.
