The little guy seemed reluctant to leave, grabbing Gong Hongru's clothes and refusing to let go, sobbing and whimpering, looking like he was reluctant to part with life and death.
Mu Hanyan looked at it with a sense of resentment. Please, I am your master, okay? I don’t know what benefits the master has given it that it doesn’t even want to be its master.
Gong Hongru ignored its coquettish and cute behavior, and simply lifted it by the neck and stuffed it into Mu Hanyan's hand.
Mu Hanyan then discovered that after not seeing the little guy for such a long time, he had gained weight again, and his fur was shiny and glossy. What surprised Mu Hanyan the most was that a mysterious energy was surging in the body of this little auspicious beast, and it was obvious that he had grown a lot.
"Master, this is..." Mu Hanyan looked at Gong Hongru in surprise.
You should know that the growth rate of exotic beasts is usually much slower than that of humans. Although we don’t know what kind of exotic beast or divine beast this little auspicious beast is, it is definitely not simple, and its growth rate is even slower. Even if it eats the beast soul relic, it only grows faster at the first time, and then stagnates.
Gong Hongru didn't know what method he used, but he actually made it grow a lot bigger.
"Last time when I went to Beiyuan Mist Source, I brought it along specifically. It ate a lot of rare treasures, and because of the power of heaven and earth, it grew much faster than usual." Gong Hongru smiled lightly and said calmly.
Mu Hanyan's eyes became moist. Only then did she realize that Gong Hongru had planned to capture the Yunbeiyuan Mist Source since he first accepted her as his disciple. The reason he kidnapped the little auspicious beast was to help it improve its strength and prepare for today's trial.
She is so lucky to have such a master.
"The time has come, go quickly." Nangong Jingyuan urged.
"Remember, once you enter the secret realm, no one can help you. Whether you live or die, you can only rely on yourself." Gong Hongru reminded again.
"Yes, Master, I will be careful." Mu Hanyan knelt down, kowtowed to his master, and then walked towards the gate of the secret realm.
"Sir, please be careful. We will wait for you to come back." Behind him, Hua Yue and others waved and shouted.
Mu Hanyan waved her hand and stepped into the gate. Her figure quickly disappeared in the ripple-like light and shadow, and the gate also disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"Let's go, everyone should disperse." Gong Hongru said to Hua Yue and others.
"Master, let's stay here and wait for Hanyan to come out." Huayue and the others shook their heads at the same time.
"Let's go. She won't come out here." Gong Hongru said.
"Ah?" Hua Yue and others looked at Gong Hongru in surprise.
"The door to this secret realm only opens once every 100,000 years. If Han Yan wants to return the same way, she will probably have to wait until 100,000 years later." Gong Hongru explained.
"So, does that mean there are other exits to this secret realm?" Zirong speculated.
"I don't know either." Gong Hongru replied.
"..." Hua Yue and others were stunned at the same time.
"According to the teachings left by our Longyan Academy's founder, as long as we find the Destiny Star Plate, we will find a way to leave the secret realm," Gong Hongru added. There were no outsiders present, and to them, the Destiny Star Plate wasn't a big secret, so he didn't bother to hide it.
The hearts of Hua Yue and the others sank at the same time. Gong Hongru had not actually finished his words. If the Destiny Star Plate could not be found, Mu Hanyan would never be able to get out. Unless she could live to the next time the secret realm opened in 100,000 years, that... was obviously impossible.
Although everyone has always had almost blind trust in Mu Hanyan, this time, everyone's heart was involuntarily hanging in the balance.
Afterwards, everyone left. No one could influence whether Mu Hanyan could find the Destiny Star Plate or leave the secret realm smoothly. Just as Gong Hongru said, everything depended on her alone.
No one noticed that there was a hint of indifference and sarcasm in Jiang Yunhe's eyes: there were some secrets that Gong Hongru knew, and he also knew them, while there were some secrets that he knew but Gong Hongru, Nangong Jingyuan and others did not know.
…
At this moment, Mu Hanyan's eyes have become different.
Around him, countless fantastic lights and shadows flew by, as if they had traveled through time and space, through countless centuries of life and death, just like what one would see when practicing astrology.
However, when practicing the art of divination, everything was just an illusion in the mind. At this moment, Mu Hanyan felt that her body was flying forward along a corridor of time and space, truly traveling through time and space.
Suddenly, my feet felt light, and the sound of wind whistled past my ears, as if I were falling from a great height. Looking down, I saw, as expected, a vast ice field beneath my feet, expanding in front of my eyes.
Mu Hanyan was shocked. If he continued to fall like this, it would be strange if he didn't die. Could it be that all the elite academy students who had entered the secret realm trials in the past had failed in this way and died?
There was no time to care about how others died. Mu Hanyan’s first concern was whether she would live or die.
Mu Hanyan practiced the technique and used the wind control technique, but unfortunately, only those who reached the Saint level or above could truly use the wind control technique. With Mu Hanyan's current strength, even if her actual combat power far exceeded that of the swordsmen of the same level, she could not overcome this gap.
Although she had tried her best to gather her strength, her body continued to fall, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
At this critical moment, Mu Hanyan suddenly had an idea and quickly executed a series of hand gestures. Behind her, a multicolored light flashed, like wings spread out in the wind. Mu Hanyan's body froze, and her descent slowed considerably. Then, she landed lightly on the ground.
Mu Hanyan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then turned her head to look at the golden magic weapon in her hand. It was called Feiyun Qingyu, a magic weapon that Feng Qingyu had refined when they were fighting a few days ago. It could control the wind for a short period of time.
For other practitioners, this kind of magical weapon that can only fly with the wind for a short time is obviously of no help in improving combat power. If used for traveling, it is not as good as a good horse. Therefore, few people are interested in it when it is brought to the market. In the end, one was sold, and Mu Hanyan kept the other one. Unexpectedly, it saved her life at the critical moment.
If that fat guy wasn't so wretched and lascivious, it wouldn't be bad to have him as your master. Mu Hanyan thought of the wretched fat guy again, and a feeling of gratitude rose in her heart.
After putting away the magic weapon, Mu Hanyan began to survey her surroundings. All she saw was a blanket of snow and ice, stretching as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.
This is the world within the secret realm. Could it be a sealed, independent space? Mu Hanyan was confused and lost for a moment.
