This somewhat narrow passage seems to head upwards.
Step by step upwards, at the end, it’s getting brighter.
Shen Han advanced cautiously with every step.
His eyes were fixed ahead, constantly on alert for the appearance of dangerous traps.
But the terms that emerged before his eyes were nothing dangerous.
Continuing to step forward, he finally reached the end of the light.
Cautiously poking his head out, he looked outside.
It seemed to be a meadow here, and not far away, there was another stream.
Surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, it felt like a secluded paradise.
Occasional bird chirps, accompanied by the sound of flowing water beside him.
Indeed, it was an ideal place for seclusion.
Following behind Shen Han, Shi Yuezhu and Su Jinyu also stepped onto the grassland.
Seeing the surroundings, the master and disciple’s eyes, which were glowing faintly, widened involuntarily.
The scenery around was truly beautiful.
Standing here, one could faintly smell a floral fragrance.
In a moment, the three all noticed something amiss.
Setting foot in this world, it seemed as if their powers had disappeared.
Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu had experienced the Immortal Extinction Array before, so they were somewhat composed.
But Su Jinyu was not so calm and was quite flustered.
Wanting to return the way they came, as soon as they returned to the passage, their powers seemed to restore.
"Is it the Immortal Extinction Array, Moon Bamboo Peak Master?"
Shen Han looked at Shi Yuezhu and asked.
Regarding arrays, Shen Han already had some understanding, and by his observation, it didn’t seem like the effect of an array.
But being uncertain, Shen Han asked Shi Yuezhu.
Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu also shook her head.
Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she had thought of something.
"At the time, the strongest powerhouse that appeared was at the Peak of Second Grade.
Reaching this point, almost every aspect had reached the extreme.
The strength of the body, thought, enlightenment...
Every aspect conceivable was nearly at the extreme, with no direction for improvement."
As Shi Yuezhu spoke, Su Jinyu, who returned to the passage, carefully walked back again.
Not paying attention to Su Jinyu, Shi Yuezhu continued with a frown.
"I once talked with the Sect Leader about what the First Grade Realm should be like to reach.
In the discussion, they tried to derive a conjecture..."
"Is it the power of laws and rules?"
Shen Han spoke his thoughts, following with his words.
Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu’s eyes turned toward him, looking quite surprised.
"You... how did you know..."
"I guessed..."
This conjecture was something she and the Sect Leader reached after years of experience and insights from cultivating to the Immortal Realm.
Shen Han merely guessed it.
"So, Moon Bamboo Peak Master means that in this world, the Power of Laws was altered by a First-Grade Powerhouse.
That’s why it has effects similar to the Immortal Extinction Array here?"
Shi Yuezhu nodded.
"Perhaps Little Pool Immortal had a different purpose.
It is only under this law that his inheritance can truly be obtained."
Hearing this, Su Jinyu beside her was no longer as worried as before.
Obtaining Little Pool Immortal’s legacy made facing the dangers seem reasonable.
Moreover, from the start of exploring the Secret Realm, there were essentially no deadly traps within it.
This Little Pool Immortal probably wasn’t interested in bullying those entering the Secret Realm.
