By dawn, six out of the seven Silver Level Chiefs from the Hundred Sects Alliance had arrived.
Three Earth Unrestricted Experts also arrived.
Lastly, three extraordinary forces outside Heaven and Earth Lake.
Long Family!
He Mansion!
Prince Longyang!
From the Long Family came naturally Long Ye and Long Yue.
From He Family came an elder who appeared as a steward, looking kindly, his eyes always slightly narrowed.
If placed in front of any wealthy household’s mansion, no one would believe him to be a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert, only thinking him to be an old steward.
This was the ever-changing He Nian!
From Prince Longyang’s side came a middle-aged man in red armor, the dragon head helmet engraved with a fiery gold sun, followed by a squad of similarly armored guards.
This was Tian Mu, the commander!
All three arrived, each sitting atop a majestic Demon King from the Wing Race.
Wen Venerable first spoke, expressing a lot of praise towards Long Family, He Mansion, and Prince Longyang, emphasizing that if they perform well, they could be selected to advance at Heaven-Gazing Gorge, and likewise earn a chance for their sects to join them, regardless of the realm.
The meaning was, if disciples perform well, even sect leaders could go to Heaven-Gazing Gorge for advanced learning.
Such rewards, to the forces within Heaven and Earth Lake, were irresistibly enticing.
The limits were evident, only by connecting with forces from Heaven-Gazing Gorge and attempting to enter it could there be a chance to tread higher realms.
While these so-called big shots spoke, Wen Ping’s eyes were steadfastly fixed on the cave, extending his spiritual power within.
After the Vast Auction House incident, he fully comprehended that Half-Step Earth Unrestricted couldn’t detect the presence of spiritual power.
The spiritual power had just entered the cave when the scene ahead suddenly opened up brightly.
Sunshine and grasslands suddenly came into view.
Above, instead of dark stones, it was the sky and white clouds.
"Is this the Secret Realm?"
A question naturally arose.
It was his first time seeing such a Secret Realm.
Could the things inside the Secret Realm actually extend into this world through the Qu Realm?
The system responded, "Host, this is not a realm. Spaces where the vibration frequency of veins is warped are called realms. They are all unstable and are separated by the Qu Realm from the great world."
"Then what is this?"
"A realm! Spaces where the vibration frequency of veins is stable are called realms. They are not separated by the Qu Realm, existing within the space, and their entrances are directly connected to the great world."
"So this is a realm."
Wen Ping’s perception began to gaze, moving towards the interior of the Demon Realm.
Curious about discovering the realm for the first time, Wen Ping asked in his mind, "System, can you give me its map?"
"Sure."
With those words, a circular map appeared before his eyes.
The red dot represented Wen Ping’s location. Thousand Mechanism Lake, Black Stone Mountain.
The system’s voice continued, "This Demon Realm spans a diameter of a thousand miles. According to detection, it is a relatively low-level realm, with only a few demons surpassing the Divine Profound Realm within it."
"Isn’t this a natural hunting ground?" Wen Ping’s gaze slowly swept across other corners of the map.
As he looked, Wen Ping suddenly felt puzzled.
No, wait!
Then why, when his spiritual power had just entered it, was the demon Qi so dense?
That rich demon Qi was something he didn’t even experience when passing over Demon Emperor Lake.
The system explained, "The abundance of demon Qi is because this realm is actually a hatchery."
"A hatchery?"
"Fifty percent of the land in the Demon Realm consists of demon eggs. According to detection, once these demons hatch, they will leave through the exit."
"Exit..." Wen Ping immediately looked at the points marked by the system.
Apart from the opening outside Vast City, this Demon Realm has three other openings.
One of them is Demon Emperor Lake!
The other two...
Are also Demon Race nests!
This Demon Realm’s exit connects to three major Demon Race nests.
