Lin Yuan looked up and saw that there was now another figure in the room, which had previously only contained him and Jiang Rushi.
However, upon closer inspection, the person did not appear to be a real person like them.
In modern terms, it's like a projection.
It was a kind-looking old man with a white beard. He floated in mid-air, his white robes fluttering without wind, looking very ethereal and otherworldly.
Jiang Rushi was startled by this scene, but seeing that Lin Yuan did not make any move, she quickly suppressed her surprise and doubt.
"You must be the master of this secret realm?"
Lin Yuan respectfully bowed to the old man.
"Indeed, I am the master of this secret realm, the Immortal Venerable Qingfeng."
The old man looked at the two of them with a smile and said.
"Lin Yuan and Jiang Rushi greet Immortal Venerable Qingfeng!"
"We two trespassed into the secret realm without permission and took these things. It was really too rude of us."
Lin Yuan glanced at Jiang Rushi, and the two of them adopted a humble posture.
The old man laughed heartily upon hearing this, “Secret realms are originally meant for training. If I, someone who has already ascended to immortality, were to guard this secret realm and prevent anyone from entering or taking anything from it, then this secret realm would have no reason to exist.”
"What you see now is just a wisp of my divine consciousness. With the depletion of spiritual energy on Earth, I have been unable to manifest myself for a long time."
"I didn't expect that such a big change would have happened when I reappeared."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was somewhat taken aback by his abilities. "Does the Immortal Venerable know why such a thing happened outside?"
"I don't know why, but I've figured out one thing: this is a calamity for Earth."
Immortal Venerable Qingfeng suppressed his smile and looked at the two of them seriously, saying, "You two are destined to meet, so I may say a few more words, since I may not be able to reappear next time."
"This incident seems to have no clues, but it actually has an internal cause. However, because my wisp of divine consciousness is too weak, I cannot see through the secrets of heaven."
"You only need to remember one thing: go with the flow, don't overdo it, and if you can maintain a good balance, you can get through it safely."
"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Venerable!"
Lin Yuan and Jiang Rushi expressed their sincere gratitude.
Then the old man helped them analyze their current cultivation level, as well as the cultivation techniques and spiritual weapons that were suitable for them, and also gave Lin Yuan the alchemy cauldron.
"It's a waste to leave this cauldron lying around. I see you have the makings of an alchemist, so take it and use it. Also, take all these alchemy manuals and materials."
Immortal Venerable Qingfeng smiled and waved his hand, and many things floated towards Lin Yuan.
He thanked them as he put the items into his spatial storage.
When there was nothing left to give them and nothing more to say, they finally escorted the two out of the secret realm.
As for Qiao Cheng and the others, Lin Yuan was not worried.
Since this is a secret realm for everyone to gain experience, then everyone has an equal opportunity.
What happens in the end depends entirely on the individual.
After he and Jiang Rushi came out, they saw that all the ships outside were gone, and they knew that they must have been destroyed by the tsunami.
Luckily, that little island still exists, otherwise I don't know where I'd be waiting for someone.
The two landed on the small island and began to consolidate their cultivation while waiting for Qiao Cheng and the others to come out.
Inside the secret realm, Ding Yun and his team killed another batch of spirit beasts.
What terrified everyone was that these spirit beasts were all exceptionally ferocious, and their attacks were all aimed at vital points; a moment's carelessness could lead to certain death.
Qiao Cheng and the others were protected in the middle, and they were all terrified.
If they had fought on the periphery like Ding Yun and the others, they would probably have died countless times by now.
They all miss Lin Yuan now.
After all, that's a truly powerful shield!
