"Yes, the entrance is closed."
Rong Zi gasped and asked cautiously, "Then... can it be opened again?"
"able."
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew... That's good. You scared me. I thought that once the entrance to this secret realm was closed, it could never be opened again."
She patted her chest, still shaken, and urged the tortoise shell on.
"Then hurry up and open the entrance to the secret realm. I'll be right back."
The tortoise shell remained unmoved, and instead said, "It cannot be opened yet."
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi's heart skipped a beat.
"Um?"
The tortoise shell explained, "We'll have to wait three years."
Rong Zi: "...?!?!?!"
After a long silence, Rong Zi asked with an indescribable expression, "So, you mean we'll have to stay in this secret realm for the next three years?"
The tortoise shell replied, "That's right."
Upon receiving the correct answer, Rong Zi's face immediately fell, and she became furious.
Why didn't you say so sooner?!
"You didn't even ask me!" the tortoise shell said, feeling wronged.
Rong Zi: "..."
This is terrible!
I wonder what the people outside the secret realm will think.
Could it be that they all thought the master and his disciples were trapped in this secret realm?
Especially Murong Zhen.
If she can't go out, she won't be able to continue casting the spell to make his hair grow.
This means that Murong Zhen will have to keep sporting that kappa-like hairstyle and wait for her outside for three years...
Thinking of this, Rong Zi raised her hand and slapped her forehead.
My head hurts...
...
Outside the secret realm of the Immortal's Lair.
Three days after Rong Zi and his group entered the Immortal Treasure Realm.
The crowd watched helplessly as the entrance to the secret realm slowly closed, but Rong Zi and his disciples were nowhere to be seen. The crowd erupted in chaos.
"It's already this late, why haven't those people from Rongling Sect come out yet?"
"Logically speaking, even if they didn't come out at this point, they would have been thrown out by the Immortal Treasure Realm. Now that they haven't shown up yet, could it be... that they've already perished?"
"Really? Although the opportunities in the Immortal Treasure Realm are hard to come by, no one has ever died there before."
"Didn't Rong Zi go in too? With her strength, it shouldn't be difficult for her to escape unscathed from the Immortal Treasure Realm, right?"
"That's different. Don't forget, only sect disciples who have won the grand competition can enter the Immortal Treasure Realm. As the sect leader, Rong Zi is not qualified to enter. Although we don't know how she got in, she must have violated the rules of the Immortal Treasure Realm. She might have been killed by the Immortal Treasure Realm as soon as she entered."
Upon hearing this, everyone present pondered for a moment, and many of them gasped in shock.
"Wow, maybe that's actually possible."
"If that's really the case, then Rongling Sect is in a terrible state. They finally won the grand championship and earned the honor of being the top sect among the five major sects, but before they could even savor that honor, the entire sect was wiped out..."
"It wasn't easy? Please put your hand on your heart and say it again, what exactly was so difficult about Rongling Sect winning this championship?"
