The distant mountains, their outlines a hazy blue-green, blend seamlessly into the landscape; lush green grass sways and waves crash in the wind; mountain springs gurgle and cascade like silver threads; the river meanders and flows towards the horizon. Flocks of birds and beasts roam freely and unrestrained.
A blessed land with lush water and grass, a paradise on earth.
The scenery before me was like heaven on earth, like a fairyland in a story, a landscape that does not exist in the modern world.
Chang Le and the other two couldn't help but marvel.
Within the 【Mysterious Realm】, there lies a beautiful, magnificent, and carefree little world.
"Rustle, rustle..."
Gu Yujing warned warily, "Be careful, there's something in the grass."
A few red shadows darted through the lush grass that reached ankles or even knees, causing the grass blades to tremble slightly.
The vines slid out from Chang Le's shoulder, poised to strike.
Qin Xian saw it clearly and exclaimed softly, "It's a snake!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless small, bright red snakes appeared from the surrounding grass, flicking their scarlet tongues, conveying a strong sense of warning and expulsion.
“This is a Red Jade Serpent,” Gu Lianghan’s voice suddenly rang out.
The three looked towards the source of the sound and saw a palm-sized flying device overhead, through which Gu Lianghan communicated with them.
Gu Lianghan said, "This is the outermost area. To save your energy and help you better prepare for the rest of the journey, I will escort you along this section."
"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment," Chang Le suddenly spoke up. "I have a more efficient way to deal with the Red Jade Snakes."
As he spoke, Chang Le pulled a necklace from around his neck.
It was a blood-red, crystal-clear scale, with a few strands of strong red silk threaded together to form a necklace.
Chang Le held the scale in his hand and infused it with his supernatural power to activate it.
The aura of the scales was spread out by the fluctuating alien energy.
In an instant, the surrounding red jade snakes seemed to sense danger and retreated, clearing a large area for the three of them.
Chang Le pinched the scale and said, "This is a scale from Xue Wuwang's dragon."
"No wonder." Qin Xian suddenly understood.
Because, in fact, the Crimson Jade Serpent and the Blood Jade Dragon belong to the same family. The Crimson Jade Serpent is born in red-type mineral veins, and rare Blood Jade Serpents will be born in the clan. Blood Jade Serpents can cultivate and evolve by being nurtured by the energy of the mineral veins. If they can get the opportunity, they can transform into Blood Jade Dragons and then cultivate into human form.
The only known existing Blood Jade Dragon is Xue Wuwang. Of course, only a few people know Xue Wuwang's true identity.
In terms of both bloodline and cultivation, the Blood Jade Dragon is far superior to the Red Jade Snake, and the Red Jade Snake reveres the Blood Jade Dragon.
Chang Le walked forward with the scales, followed closely by Gu Yujing and Qin Xian. Wherever the scales passed, the red jade snakes retreated.
The three escaped unharmed and moved away from the group of red jade snakes.
Gu Lianghan's voice rang out again: "I will take you to the entrance of the inner area as soon as possible."
Immediately, a vast expanse of energy with black and white ink-wash effects completely enveloped the three of them. They lightly gathered their energy and flew forward. With Gu Lianghan's [Annihilation of All Laws] protecting them, the surrounding alien species and animals retreated without causing any disturbance.
Soon, the three arrived at the edge of this paradise.
Before them was an opaque wall shimmering with iridescent colors, its lower end embedded in the ground and its upper end soaring infinitely into the clouds, completely separating the area in front of them.
Don't try to find the boundary of this wall by going up or down. This wall is a barrier separating the inner and outer sides, just like the palm of Buddha that the Great Sage encountered in the story. There is no boundary that can be broken through.
The [Annihilation of All Laws] slowly faded away, and Gu Lianghan's voice rang out: "This is the inner area. No one knows what's inside. I can only take you this far. The rest of the journey is up to you."
"Get ready, the internal area will open soon, you are about to enter."
The three looked at each other and nodded.
Immediately, the wall in front of them, as if half-liquefied and half-gaseous, transformed into a gurgling, iridescent light that completely enveloped the three of them.
All three lost consciousness at the same time.
Gu Lianghan, standing beside the golden disc, opened his eyes: "They have entered the true [Mystic Creation Realm]."
...
"Boom—boom—"
The deafening roar grew louder as it approached, and as my consciousness returned and became clearer, the scorching heat felt like a raging fire, directly engulfing me.
Chang Le opened his eyes with a start, only to see a ball of flame from an explosion rushing towards him.
"Damn it!" Chang Le's body reacted faster than her dazed mind. The vine shot out and quickly pulled her away from where she was!
"boom--"
Wherever the flames passed, they scorched and distorted the very space around them.
Chang Le leaned against a half-wall, crouching low to observe. As far as the eye could see, there was the roar of cannons, flames shooting into the sky, and dust flying everywhere. All around were broken walls and ruins, a scene of utter chaos and war.
Chang Le used the half-wall as cover, his mind still reeling: Where is this? Wasn't this supposed to be a secret realm? If this is a secret realm, where is the central control point that issues quests?
"Biu! Biubiu!"
A barrage of bullets ripped through the wall in front of him, leaving a trail of holes. Chang Le fell backward, his face covered in bullet shards.
"Ptooey! Ptooey!" Chang Le spat out the dust in his mouth, his mind filled with a string of question marks and exclamation marks.
When the gunshots faded into the distance, Chang Le opened his eyes, and the sky came into view.
"this……"
Chang Le's eyes widened, reflecting specks of purple light in his round pupils. His lips trembled slightly as he murmured, "My God, I saw the original picture from the textbook!!"
The billowing dust, like smoke and mist, almost blended into the thick, dark clouds, tearing and severing the cloud-covered sky, leaving countless large and small, strangely shaped cracks and channels scattered across it.
