The two massive bodies collided in the valley, unleashing a thunderous roar that seemed to tear the air apart.
The fangs of the earth wolf and the sharp scales of the giant python clashed, sparking bursts of fire, making for an extremely fierce battle.
The earth wolf pounced fiercely, scratching at the giant python's scales with its strong claws, while the giant python, not to be outdone, coiled its massive body around the earth wolf, attempting to suppress it with its oppressive force.
The battle between the two was extremely fierce. The earth wolf nimbly dodged the giant python's attacks and then retaliated fiercely.
Everyone held their breath, watching intently as this life-or-death struggle unfolded.
They could sense the ferocity of the earth wolves and were well aware of the importance of this battle.
The earth wolf's power gave them hope, while the giant python's tenacity made them realize the difficulty of the battle.
As time went on, the battle between the earth wolf and the giant python intensified, leaving both sides with wounds, but also demonstrating their tenacious vitality.
The giant python gradually sensed the power of the earth wolf, and a hint of hesitation flashed in its eyes, as if it were considering whether to retreat.
Taking advantage of the giant python's momentary hesitation, the earth wolf launched another attack, a series of fierce claw strikes and bites gradually weakening the python's resistance.
Finally, under the fierce attack of the earth wolf, the giant python let out a shrill cry, its body began to tremble, and then its entire body exploded, the black aura completely shattered by the earth wolf's power.
The earth wolf howled and stood victoriously beside the giant python's corpse.
The earth wolf nodded to Qin Ze, then transformed into a golden light and flew into the Dragon-Slaying Whip.
"This earth wolf is truly powerful!" the long-browed Taoist priest exclaimed. As a Grandmaster, he was also shocked by the earth wolf's strength.
"Not only the Earth Wolf, but young friend Qin Ze's performance is also admirable." Tianjizi nodded in praise. As the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, he was knowledgeable and experienced, and naturally able to judge Qin Ze's strength.
Blood Demon, Daoist Tiansong, Master Wisdom, and others also expressed their admiration. They knew the danger and difficulty of this battle, and the performance of Earth Wolf and Qin Ze impressed them greatly.
However, they didn't ask why Qin Ze possessed a summoned beast like the Earth Wolf, since every powerful person has their own secrets.
The group helped each other up the mountain and struggled to the top, their bodies utterly exhausted.
Straining their bodies, the group sealed the last anomaly. After the sealing was complete, they burst into laughter.
Zhang Tianshi bowed slightly to the crowd.
"Zhang Huai-ren thanks everyone for their help!"
The crowd cupped their hands and said, "It's all for the greater good of the world..."
The next day, as the sun rose, golden sunlight bathed the land of the secret realm, bringing new life to this place that had once been filled with strange occurrences.
The group found a flat spot in the secret realm to rest and recuperate.
They closed their eyes to rest, absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding nature to allow their tired bodies to recover.
The atmosphere of the secret realm became gentle and peaceful at this moment, as if it were also pleased with everyone's efforts.
After a night's rest, everyone was refreshed and full of energy.
Zhang Tianshi raised the seal in his hand, and a bright light emanated from it.
Everyone felt a powerful force enveloping them, and their bodies gradually disappeared from this secret realm, returning to the modern world.
When everyone opened their eyes again, they were already standing at the entrance to the secret realm.
The hidden scenery has disappeared, replaced by familiar mountains and landscapes.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone left.
Unbeknownst to them, a few minutes after they left, a cloud of black mist quietly followed them out and enveloped the entrance to the secret realm.
The black aura exuded a sinister atmosphere, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance.
The black mist lingered near the entrance to the secret realm for a few minutes, as if it were pondering something.
Then, suddenly, the black mist stopped hesitating, transformed into a dark shadow, drifted away, and disappeared on the distant horizon.
Qin Ze and Zhang Tianshi were completely unaware of the unexpected event and had no idea about the black aura behind them.
Qin Ze followed Zhang Tianshi and Zhang Yuechen back to Longhu Mountain. Everything was as before, with a mountain breeze blowing, peaceful and serene.
As soon as he stepped onto the familiar grounds of Longhu Mountain, he was surrounded by a warm embrace from Wang Ying and Liu Ruoxin.
Wang Ying's smile was radiant and happy, while Liu Ruoxin's eyes were slightly red. Both of them were genuinely happy for Qin Ze's return.
They hugged Qin Ze tightly, as if they wanted to integrate him into their lives and never be separated again.
Wang Ying said with a smile, "Qin Ze, you rascal, you actually ran away for three weeks! If we hadn't believed you would definitely come back, we would have almost gone to the secret realm to look for you."
Liu Ruoxin couldn't help but sigh, "That's right, we've been waiting for so long, thinking about your safe return every single day."
Three weeks?
Qin Ze was stunned!
Zhang Tianshi, who was standing nearby, said, "The flow of time in the secret realm is different from the flow of time in the real world. One day in the secret realm is equivalent to one week outside!"
Qin Ze then suddenly realized what was going on.
Qin Ze shared his experiences in the secret realm with Wang Ying and Liu Ruoxin. Listening to Qin Ze's narration, the two women couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
They were deeply moved and filled with admiration upon hearing that Qin Ze and the others faced monsters, battles, and dangers together, and that they displayed unity and courage in the face of life and death.
This experience made them cherish their ordinary lives even more, and also helped them better understand Qin Ze's growth and resilience.
The next day, Qin Ze had a new idea: he wanted to go to Dragon Tiger Pool to feel the power of the dragon and tiger and further improve his cultivation.
Zhang Tianshi readily agreed and led Qin Ze to the location of Dragon Tiger Pool.
The surface of Longhu Pool is like a bright mirror, crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding mountains and rivers.
Qin Ze took off his coat and gently stepped into the pool.
The cool water flowed in, bringing him a sense of comfort and tranquility.
As Qin Ze stepped in, ripples spread across the surface of the Dragon Tiger Pool. Gradually, two powerful auras began to emerge from the bottom of the pool: a golden dragon aura and a black tortoise tiger aura, intertwining to create a mysterious atmosphere.
Standing to the side, Zhang Tianshi smiled and said to Qin Ze, "The Dragon Tiger Pool contains the power of dragons and tigers, which can enhance one's cultivation, but one also needs a calm mind to comprehend its essence."
Qin Ze closed his eyes and quietly felt the energy emanating from the pool.
He began to mobilize his internal energy, merging himself with the dragon and tiger power in the pool.
As time went by, he gradually felt the mystery of the power of the dragon and tiger, as if he was communicating with the energy between heaven and earth, and his mind was integrated with the universe.
While bathing in the Dragon Tiger Pool, Qin Ze felt a profound improvement; his cultivation was enhanced, and his heart became more peaceful and resolute.
