Lin Guang furrowed his brows slightly, unzipped the bag, reached out to touch its head, and asked, "Lily, what's wrong?"

He then looked at the silver-haired girl and asked, "Do you feel anything?"

"...I don't feel anything."

Vishdair also looked at Lily with some confusion and said.

This made Lin Guang narrow his eyes. Although Vishdair was not very sensitive to Spiritual Element Ether, if someone harbored malice and directed their gaze, she would definitely not be mistaken.

Neither of them felt anything... so what exactly was going on?

Could it only be targeting Lily?

"Ying!"

After shaking for a moment, Lily suddenly stopped trembling, looked around in confusion, and let out a soft cry.

Lin Guang could only consider it overly sensitive and led Vishdair into the line. Soon, it was their turn.

At the wilderness entrance at the base of the Great Wall, Lin Guang handed his ID to the staff member registering people and said, "I rented a two-seater Gale Eagle, the location should already be marked."

"Alright, please wait a moment while I input the map information into the token."

The staff member nodded slightly, reached out to hold a silver feather-shaped whistle beside him—a Spiritual Artifact specially made by the Spirit Master Association—and then a slight glow appeared in his eyes.

"Done."

A few seconds later, he handed the token to Lin Guang, "You can blow it by infusing Spiritual Power outside."

Lin Guang nodded,

After walking out from the base of the Great Wall along with the crowd, Lin Guang and Vishdair's vision suddenly brightened.

It was a simple square, paved only with stone bricks.

At this moment, it was noon, with sunlight shining down from above, making the square dazzlingly bright. Wide roads were opened, extending a thousand meters away and merging into the distant tall, primitive ancient forest.

It was a wilderness scene Lin Guang had never seen before.

With the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence he possessed, he could see clearly the vines, weeds, and various signs of animals and Spirit Beasts lurking in the forest.

And the brilliant sunlight gilded the distant mountains and forests with a layer of golden light.

This was the vast ecological wilderness area spanning several hundred kilometers near Zhen Sheng City.

[Changqing Mountain Range]

"The wilderness..."

Looking at this rare scenery, Lin Guang's mood suddenly brightened, "Truly spectacular."

"What? It's not desolate at all."

Vishdair used her hand as a shade to look around, "I thought it would be all barren mountains and wilderness like on Kazdail's side."

Lin Guang explained with some helplessness, "The desolation in 'wilderness' refers to the scarcity of human presence, not that it's barren here..."

Around him, the Spirit Masters who had come out were already beginning to summon their contract partners. Amidst all sorts of cries, they rode their Spirit Beasts and left the area in an instant.

Seeing this, Lin Guang raised the whistle in his hand, infusing it with Spiritual Power.

"Swoo—"

With the sound of the whistle, a familiar figure spiraled down from the sky and landed beside Lin Guang, stirring up quite a bit of wind and dust.

"Goo!"

It was the Gale Eagle that he and Vishdair had previously ridden together, just slightly smaller than the one in the Secret Realm but still boasting a five-meter wingspan. Lin Guang used the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence to check and saw it was only level 20, but enough to carry the two of them.

This was a mount provided by the Spirit Master Association for short exploration trips. It was a wild Spirit Beast tamed by a Miracle Master and could follow the map embedded in the whistle sound to the destination, but would not partake in any form of combat.

Having ridden a similar one before, Lin Guang and Vishdair naturally were familiar with the process, and they got on the bird, soaring into the sky.

Just like its name, from the sky, Changqing Mountain Range was covered with lush green mountains, the sea of trees extending endlessly.

Although he had seen a similar scene last time in the Flame Turtle Secret Realm, it was not the same completely safe and thoroughly explored Secret Realm, but a wilderness full of mystery and unknown.

However, the Gale Eagle eager to finish its work didn't give him much time to enjoy the scenery; it flew at full speed, descending gradually after just over twenty minutes, as a shimmering lake appeared before them.

This lake was peculiar, seemingly small, but uniquely positioned, nestled on this hundred-meter cliff, packed full, almost cascading down.

The lake water was extremely clear, shimmering under the clear sky, with the surrounding scenery bathed in a dreamy reflection of light, as fluttering leaves whirled and fell onto the lake, creating ripples.

But... upon closer inspection, there appeared a huge silhouette between the lake and the cliff.

It was enormous, like a small mountain, with rough and rugged skin, a carapace covering it that shimmered with an earthen-yellow brilliance, blocking the once powerful river, which slowly accumulated into a lake behind it.

Behold, it was a giant Dam-Clean Turtle, with an estimated body diameter of at least fifty meters!

Though Dam-Clean Turtles are enormous in size, to grow to such proportions, it would need to be at least a Tier Four Spirit Beast... possibly even Tier Five!

For such a high-level Spirit Beast, Lin Guang refrained from recklessly using the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence to appraise it, as it could be detected and cause unforeseen troubles.

Soon, the Gale Eagle swooped down and landed on the open ground at the foot of the cliff.

Here, a man dressed in a black uniform was already waiting and said to them, "Hello, sir and miss, welcome to the True Waterfall. Do you have a reservation?"

The True Waterfall was discovered and contracted by a certain High Tier Spirit Master, who then entrusted its management to the Spirit Master Association. This person was also a ticket inspector and guide employed by the Association.

It can be seen that not far away there is a two-story building, which is probably their usual duty station.

Lin Guang rubbed the Ring of Void and took out his ID for him. The latter used a machine to scan it, nodded, and said, "Mr. Lin Guang, let me repeat the package details for you, one 'Heart Demon Trial' at the True Waterfall, correct?"

"Yes."

"Alright then, would you like to rest in the lounge for a while, or start immediately?"

"Let's start immediately."

"Understood, then please remember the position of the cave entrance on the cliff wall. Once the waterfall flows down, rush toward it, and you will enter the anomalous space of the True Waterfall."

"Hmm."

Lin Guang brought Vishdair to the high ground at the foot of the waterfall, where a clearly exposed riverbed lay dry with a few fish flopping in the shallow pond.

"Don't look, they're just ordinary fish, not to your taste."

"Oh."

Suddenly, a whistling sound echoed through the mountains, followed by a thunderous roar.

The giant turtle crouched at the mouth of the waterfall suddenly protruded its head and limbs from its shell, and then slowly moved amidst booming sounds. It no longer blocked the rivers or lakes, but climbed ashore and squeezed into the forest, scaring countless birds into flight.

Vishdair excitedly exclaimed in Lin Guang's ear, "Wow, what a big head!"

"...…"

— I finally understand how the 'open ground' by the lake I saw on the bird's back came to be.

Just as Lin Guang had this thought, he heard a massive rumbling.

He turned his head, his eyes widening slightly.

As the giant turtle departed, the lake water overflowed from the mountain mouth like a furious torrent, as if it were about to fall into the Naraku Abyss.

The water danced in the air like silver threads, surging countless white waves, accompanied by the deafening sound of waterfalls, as if the earth itself were roaring, echoing through the valley.

A mist of water filled the air, and sunlight refracted through the mist to create a dazzling rainbow.

In just a moment, the waterfall regained its majestic appearance, and the thousand-meter-high waterfall seemed to adorn the verdant mountains with a delicate silver chain.

And as if reconnecting a severed circuit, when the waterfall reappeared, Lin Guang felt an inexplicable wondrous sensation emanating from the whole waterfall.

To put it bluntly, just looking at it feels like one's heart might be touched.

Undoubtedly, the True Waterfall had fully formed.

While waterfalls are common, witnessing the "formation" of one was something Lin Guang had never imagined.

If such a spectacular waterfall is not considered a wonder, how grand and magnificent must a real waterfall wonder be?

"The torrent cascades down three thousand feet, as if the galaxy is descending from the Ninth Heaven."

Lin Guang couldn't help but exclaim.

"All this poetic language really spoils the mood."

"..."

Lin Guang was speechless.

Although it seemed a bit unfair to Vishdair, he had just thought of his childhood friend.

If Miaomiao were by his side, she might share a similar resonance with him.

Shaking his head, Lin Guang rubbed the Ring of Void, taking out the potions he had already prepared. The True Waterfall aroused the "beastiality" within Vishdair, and the spiritual and evil spiritual materials complemented each other, stimulating Vishdair's spirit to provide energy for the manifestation of the "beast."

Vishdair took the bottles from Lin Guang and gulped down two bottles of dark potions, then showed a slightly subtle expression. It's no wonder; it's hard to imagine those spiritual materials would taste good.

The impact of the waterfall's flow wasn't to be underestimated, and the abundant Water Attribute Ether in this environment would interfere with Vishdair's senses. Lin Guang first activated [Burning Water], then gave her an anti-Water Attribute Ether potion, and took out a large bottle of the River-devouring Toad's slime (with excellent waterproof abilities) to coat her, although the slimy feel wasn't very pleasant.

"How does it feel?"

"Don't underestimate me, it's just a bit of slime. It was more uncomfortable when lurking in mud."

The preparations were complete. Whether or not it would succeed depended entirely on Vishdair's personal effort. According to Doctor Kaiwen and Lin Guang's estimation, the chances of success were quite high, though it might take some time.

"I'm going in."

Vishdair asked, "Will you be okay alone out here?"

"..."

Suddenly, Lin Guang remembered Lily's prior warning.
