Within one of the four great secret realms—the Time Realm.

A plain-looking young man blushed. As if he had thought of something, his plain face suddenly twisted, and he instantly appeared sinister and malicious.

In a blank world, his gaze was fixed on a figure in the surrounding crowd.

The purple-haired girl was already like a dragon among men, with every move she made exuding a unique charm; she was none other than Diefang.

When they entered the secret realm, they were teleported to this blank world, its size and current state unknown.

Chenxi came to Diefang's side.

For some reason, she felt uneasy.

This secret realm is completely different from what her master described...

Her master said that the Secret Realm of Time should have been a dense forest that blocked out the sun, and although there was light, it was only a few wisps.

But looking around her now...

Forget about a forest, she didn't even see a single blade of grass!

Chenxi felt a pang of sorrow; her master had betrayed her!

At the same time, Diefang was also observing her surroundings, and she only felt that this scene...

It was like a small world casually created by her favorite master.

In Master's words, this world is composed of 'Tao'.

Some of the group of prodigies observed their surroundings, while others focused their attention on Diefang and her friends.

Some of the more cautious and ambitious prodigies have already decided to follow Diefang relentlessly in the secret realm, because they don't believe that the Human King would be willing to let his disciple die in the secret realm.

Although they also had a heart that sought the Dao, they had no intention of fighting against the crowd in the face of such terrifying talent.

However, there was one exception: that seemingly unassuming young man who harbored desires he could never fulfill, such as—taking Diefang as his wife, just as his master dealt with those favored young ladies.

Aside from him, anyone who saw a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation unleashing the aura of a tribulation would say: "You can't play this game, he's cheating!"

That's a leap of two major realms!

There are intellectually disabled people, but they are only a small minority; the vast majority are perfectly lucid.

With that talent, plus his status as the King of Men's disciple, he had no chance at all.

at the same time.

As they looked around, something strange was also observing them.

Suddenly, a sound like silver needles falling to the ground was heard.

Everyone on high alert noticed it instantly.

A voice seemed to rise from beyond the heavens.

"There are quite a lot of people here this time, and some demons have even infiltrated. They seem intent on..."

The voice stopped abruptly before it could finish speaking.

It was as if their previously nonchalant attitude had suddenly been met with something shocking.

The voice quickly rang out again: "Interesting, quite interesting indeed. This time, something like this has actually snuck in. Hahaha, interesting... Let me think, the last time I saw this thing... a thousand years? That doesn't seem like a very long time?"

While the group of prodigies were puzzled by these words, a vague and ethereal thing, like a soul, suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards Diefang.

The hearts of all the prodigies instantly sank to the bottom.

They couldn't sense this thing with their divine sense or soul, but they could see it with their eyes.

It appeared in my eyes, but I could only see it; everything else... seemed to be outside of this time and space.

Diefang looked at the ghost-like creature and subconsciously summoned her spirit sword.

That ghost-like thing ignored all of Diefang's defenses and even her spirit sword.

Diefang was shocked, but she soon realized that this suddenly appearing thing did not seem to have any intention of harming her.

It was seen circling around Diefang, as if observing her.

"Strange, you little girl should have gone to the Realm of Destiny. You might have been able to kidnap the entire Great Path there, haha. But coming to the Realm of Time isn't without its advantages, though the rewards are entirely up to you."

By this time, Diefang had already made up her mind, and even Chenxi and the others guessed that this person might be a senior from the Time Realm.

While the possibility of it being a bluff cannot be ruled out, the mere fact that it ignored her defenses and the aura of the spirit sword is enough to make some guesses.

Diefang immediately dispersed her spirit sword, which turned into specks of starlight that drifted in the air, and then slightly cupped her hands in greeting.

"I wonder where Senior is in the Time Realm..."

The ghostly being slowly spoke: "Lord of the Time Realm, you may call me... Time."

...

Inside the secret realm, Wenxin held a sword in her hand, surrounded by people from the Sword Domain.

Everyone already regarded Wenxin as their leader.

They were on a small island, and looking into the distance, all they could see was the unseen sea.

Of course, there are other people, such as the geniuses from other major domains, those who obtained the tokens purely by luck, and the old monsters who were trying to steal the tokens.

They were just as confused as Diefang and the others, cautiously observing their surroundings.

Suddenly, a voice rang out: "Start from here, the road is right beneath your feet, the path... is right beneath your feet."

Then there was silence.

A beautiful black-haired girl seemed quite annoyed by this mental activity, frowning as if she was thinking about something.

Wenxin couldn't help but recall her master's instructions: 'The way of space... the most childish thing is being blinded by a leaf. You can be shrunk countless times, placed on a drop of water, and in front of you, next to that drop of water, is what seems like an endless sea, or perhaps it's just a drop of water, infinitely magnified...'

No one could figure it out, but everyone had a vague idea in their hearts.

Does the way of space mean that one must reach the end of this boundless sea?

When someone tried to call out again, there was no response.

The black-haired girl suddenly moved. Too lazy to think too much, she decided to explore the secret realm first. She immediately summoned her sword, rode on it, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Following them were the twenty rogue cultivators who had obtained their tokens by luck, who rushed off in a certain direction.

The geniuses from other major regions also rose thoughtfully.

Only the geniuses of the Sword Domain unanimously focused their attention on Wenxin.

Just kidding, if they have powerful connections, are they going to get kicked if they don't cling to them?

As if sensing something, Wenxin found a clean spot and sat cross-legged.

Sword Domain members: No, Sword Father, are you sure we're not going to make a move?

Although they were puzzled, no one left Wenxin's side. They all decided to meditate for a while to see if they could sense anything.

At this moment, a consciousness was quietly observing them, taking several glances at Wenxin.

Such a profound person as Fu Yuan... What a pity, if only he had come a thousand years earlier, that kid wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

As for those few demonic creatures, let them be. They've already provided the necessary power to the secret realm. But since they suddenly intruded, we can't completely ignore them. Let's give them a little punishment.

It was as if there was some unseen connection between us.

Time... Has some extraordinary guy appeared over there? Anyway, I've got nothing better to do, so I might as well go check him out.
