When Liang Yi integrated the Secret Realm Key into the Array, turning the entire mountain into the entrance of the Secret Realm, there naturally was a reaction within the Secret Realm.

Under the illumination of a bright moon, within a dilapidated valley, a group of people dressed in peculiar cloaks were scattered around, continuously searching for something, their Divine Sense sweeping through the surrounding valley area over and over again.

"My lord, we have been searching for nearly three months, but still haven't found the Blood Demon mentioned in the records!" The only Seventh Realm cultivator among the group approached a young man with white hair and white eyebrows with a respectful expression, looking somewhat weary.

Since arriving here three months ago, they had combed through the entire Secret Realm with their Divine Sense, time and time again. However, except for some traces of harvested Spiritual Medicine in certain areas, there was no one else around.

Let alone the Blood Demon mentioned in the records, not even the usual relics or inheritances typically found in Secret Realms were seen—nothing but desolate ruins everywhere.

Exploring with Divine Sense is mentally exhausting, especially when they were fully devoted to continuous exploration for three months. In the process of investigation, everything big, from rocks to trees, to something as small as a speck of dust had to be meticulously identified, fearing something Mystical Mechanism might be hidden.

For such a vast Secret Realm to be this deserted was somewhat illogical; they didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

Thus, even a Seventh Realm cultivator could not avoid feeling a touch of fatigue after three months, not to mention the other Sixth Realm cultivators. If they hadn't carried a good amount of elixirs to stabilize and restore their Divine Soul power, someone would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

"Still no findings at all?" Bai Sheng frowned tightly, his tone extremely impatient.

This was the last unexplored area on their map; if even here there was nothing unusual, then they might have completely wasted these three months.

Moreover, without that thing, it would be very hard to heal the Sect Hierarch's injuries.

"It's all that damned Liang Yi's fault!!" Every time Bai Sheng thought about the main culprit for why they had to expend so much effort— that Liang Yi who had disrupted their plans at the Blood Control Sect—he felt an itch in his teeth, wishing he could tear that man into a thousand pieces!

Originally, the Supreme Elder of the Blood Control Sect had, under their subversion, secured the Blood Demon's Core, and as long as their Devouring Spirit Sect got hold of it, combined with some of their unique Secret Techniques, this Blood Core would nearly serve as a second life. So long as the Divine Soul wasn't completely destroyed, it could almost be brought back from the brink of death from the Ghost Gate.

Not to mention that in cases where ordinary healing Immortal Pills were ineffective, this Immortal Elixir made from the Original Law was effective even for cultivators in the Eighth and Ninth Realm,

But that group led by Xu Yi deliberately sealed that Supreme Elder for over a hundred years, and after Liang Yi appeared, somehow managed to extract the Blood Core that had already fused with the Supreme Elder.

This took the Devouring Spirit Sect by surprise, thoroughly ruining their plan.

Without that Blood Core from the Blood Moon, the Devouring Spirit Sect had to look elsewhere for healing their Sect Hierarch. From some records, they learned that a Blood Demon likely existed in the Secret Realm next to the Medicine Valley, so the Devouring Spirit Sect directly dispatched the White Tiger Envoy to lead the team, determined to obtain the Blood Demon's Blood Core.

They've been exploring here for three whole months. They even knew how many times a certain beast thousands of feet underground mated, but they didn't find a single hair of the Blood Demon.

This inevitably made them wonder if there was some error in the records.

Bai Sheng clenched his fists, a cold light flashing through his eyes. Everyone around was his trusted follower, searching desperately under his supervision, so it couldn't be an issue on their end. However, if they failed to find anything unusual again, he would definitely destroy this Secret Realm with one punch before he left.

At the very edge of the valley, within an inconspicuous mound of dirt, a pair of stealthy eyes closely watched the crowd below.

As a gentle breeze blew, tiny particles of sand and dirt whirled up, not created as an illusion for disguise. Even if a Cultivator was standing right next to the mound and used Divine Sense to investigate, they would not detect anything unusual about it.

The person hidden within this mound was none other than Yu Wei from the Wind God Commerce.

After receiving a message from his father, he had vanished from the players' view, and no matter how they searched, they could not find him. However, he wasn't hiding in the headquarters of the Wind God Commerce, but had been wandering through various Secret Realms, constantly searching for something.

This Secret Realm was discovered by accident. Originally, because the gate to this Secret Realm was difficult to break through, Yu Wei did not plan to enter. Unexpectedly, a group of kind-hearted people directly helped him break open the gate of the Secret Realm.

Since such an opportunity arose, Yu Wei naturally did not hold back; after disguising himself, he regally followed this mysterious group inside.

But what he never anticipated was that there was a Cultivator of the Eighth Realm among this group!

With his level of disguise, Cultivators of the Seventh Realm wouldn't notice anything unless they carefully investigated him face-to-face, but despite the Cultivator of the Eighth Realm not paying much attention to him, he inadvertently revealed himself.

Fortunately, ever since he was young, he tirelessly practiced the cultivation techniques of the Wind God Sect taught by his father. Even while traveling the world, he continued cultivating, which allowed him to surpass countless predecessors at a young age.

It was precisely with the help of the once celebrated cultivation techniques of the Wind God Sect that Yu Wei barely managed to escape with his life from the Cultivator of the Eighth Realm using his Sixth Realm cultivation.

However, having been tailing them for so long, Yu Wei did have some gains; at the very least, he figured out what these people were after.

It was the legendary Blood Demon! They wanted to kill the Blood Demon to obtain a Blood Core for healing someone.

But having been busily burrowing in and out of various Secret Realms recently, Yu Wei was not very clear about the events happening in the Mystical Mechanism Continent and hadn't recognized that these people were from the Devouring Spirit Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't foolishly confront them directly; he would have called for backup instead!

Enduring momentarily made him increasingly infuriated, and retreating made him feel increasingly aggrieved!

Moreover, Yu Wei was determined to obtain that Blood Core; after healing himself and getting ready, he stealthily entered again, planning to intercept the Blood Core from these people before they could get it.

To let them know what a real surprise is!

For this, he was extremely careful in hiding his presence, using a large number of Spirit Talismans and Concealing Arrays to mask his aura. Coupled with his expertise in this area, even that white-haired youth of the Eighth Realm didn't notice him from a certain distance.

But just then, a towering beam of light suddenly shot up from the far end of the Secret Realm!

As the beam's light illuminated the entire Secret Realm, a very lazy yawn sounded from the depths of everyone's hearts. And as the light from the beam scattered, the land of the Secret Realm, bathed in its glow, seemed to reverse time, directly reverting to an ancient era!
