The Su Family’s final Secret Realm.
Its true location was in a place that no one would have ever expected.
The front lines could not be lost.
Only one person accompanied Su Liumeng as she returned to the Su Family ancestral home.
Standing in the center of what was now the most magnificent hall of the Su Family, the former Great Elder tapped his toe against the ground and stomped down hard.
“Do you know where the Secret Realm is?”
Su Liumeng grew thoughtful. “Under your feet?”
“Exactly.” The Great Elder’s eyes were filled with approval. “It is right beneath our feet.”
This junior was far too outstanding.
She was so perfect that he had marveled at her more than once.
“Who could have imagined it? The final foundation of my Su Family lies directly beneath the entire ancestral home. This small world was the first one discovered by our Su Family ancestors.”
“To be precise, it was the first Secret Realm discovered by the Su Family. Afterward, a Heaven-Shrouding Array was laid out using methods that defied the heavens and ghosts. It completely flipped the space-time of the Secret Realm, forming this small world that can accommodate a few million people.”
“Later, my Su Family felt that living here alone was too boring, so we simply invited other aristocratic families to move in as well. This is precisely why the Su Family is situated in the area with the densest energy in this small world.”
The Great Elder walked to the very center of the hall. Looking at the place where the ancestral tablets were kept, he reached out and removed one of them.
In an instant, the wind rose and the clouds surged.
A hexagram-like array rose up, surrounding the hall.
The array was dazzling, shining like pure moonlight.
The nodes of the array were numerous, like stars adorning the side of the moon, exceptionally brilliant.
Densely packed stars instantly filled the entire sky.
It was a dizzying sight, making it impossible to tell for a moment what rank this array actually was.
The array was not a flat surface but a three-dimensional structure.
Su Liumeng stood in the dead center, looking up at the brilliant river of stars above.
The pressure had already taken physical form.
Even today, one could still marvel at the profound and mysterious nature of the ancestors.
If she had not sensed a complete lack of hostility from it, Su Liumeng would never have stayed in such a dangerous place for long.
Because this array already posed a physical threat to her.
She was somewhat stunned. No wonder the Su Family’s Thirteenth Ancestor had not feared the greed of others even upon his passing.
Even as the Great Elder, there were still things about this titan that had spanned millions of years that she did not understand.
This massive array was likely the Su Family’s true final foundation.
As long as this array existed for even one day, it wouldn’t matter how many enemies came; it would all be in vain.
This was a vertical wall of bronze and iron that could not be broken by mere numbers.
In fact, it was highly offensive.
In front of her, amidst the lingering starlight, a small teleportation array appeared.
“Go in.”
“Inside lies the final foundation of the Su Family.”
Su Liumeng nodded and cupped her fists toward the Great Elder. “Take care.”
Her figure flashed. Without any hesitation, she stepped into the teleportation array.
—
The Ghost Realm.
A spirit boat was already approaching its destination.
It was a land of entirely black, scorched earth. The ground was very viscous, as if it had been repeatedly drenched in blood throughout the passing years.
I wrinkled my nose. ‘Disgusting.’
I didn’t like this smell.
Xi Zhiruo waved her small hand, and flowers instantly bloomed ahead.
In the blink of an eye, the originally viscous land transformed into a wondrous sight of flowers in full bloom.
When it came to the Emperor Realm domain and modifying rules, this was the true way to use it.
As the world’s number one mother’s girl, Xi Zhiruo would tell you that it was, of course, just a tool to make Mother happy.
—
The Divine Mountain.
The High Priest stared at the image in the array, his expression fracturing for a moment.
What had just happened?
How did the territory where his master slept suddenly grow countless flowers competing to bloom in an instant?
Was he seeing things?
The High Priest rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
It wasn’t until the image in the water mirror stopped changing that he flew into a rage.
“This is simply…”
“It’s simply ridiculous.” It took him a long while to find the right words.
The High Priest could no longer sit still. He had to go to the site and see exactly what was happening.
His master’s true body was of the utmost importance.
There could be no mistakes.
It was at this moment that a subordinate suddenly arrived to report.
“Report — “
“Report! Someone just said they saw the silhouette of a spirit boat near the Abyss.”
The spirit boat did not appear in the water mirror’s image because of the technique Xi Zhiruo was using.
That was why the word “ridiculous” had escaped the High Priest’s lips.
“That’s impossible.” The High Priest didn’t believe it at all.
He was accustomed to being dictatorial. Hearing this, he let out a cold sneer. “My master’s resting place is protected by the World’s Number One Array. Others can’t even see its true nature, let alone approach it in a spirit boat.”
“Stop spreading these delusions.” The High Priest kicked the subordinate away. “I’ll go to the scene and see for myself.”
Fifteen minutes later.
He arrived near the Abyss.
By borrowing the power of the World’s Number One Array, he finally saw the object in the sky.
It was —
A spirit boat that he had long since dismissed and declared would never appear here.
At this moment, it was clearly visible in the sky.
The High Priest’s expression cracked for a second, but he remained calm. “In the end, they only entered this place by pure coincidence. No one can see through the disguise of the First Great Array.”
“Even if you can get close to my master’s resting place, what can you possibly do in the face of the Abyss, which is defended by the number one array?”
“Young man, I advise you to leave quickly.”
“Otherwise, once you enter the array’s attack range, you will only lose your young life for nothing.”
The High Priest’s voice rolled out across the distance.
Xi Zhiruo let out a yawn. “What is he babbling about?”
“I didn’t hear a single word.”
I nodded calmly. “Me neither…”
Xi Zhiruo clapped her small hands. “Then let’s just ignore him. We’re about to reach the target. Why bother with a little ant like him?”
The High Priest’s composure began to crumble.
These people actually dared to ignore him?
Suddenly, his pupils shrank as he stared at the direction the spirit boat was heading.
How?
The spirit boat was heading straight for the Abyss.
Could it be —
That the details of the First Great Array had been seen through?
No, impossible.
The High Priest possessed a fanatical confidence in his master.
Then there was only one possibility left: it was still a coincidence.
Unknown experts of unknown origin and unknown purpose.
They had likely come here by accident. Perhaps their intention was just to search for something in the Ghost Realm, and it had nothing to do with his master who had been asleep for countless years.
The High Priest quickly calmed down. He even felt a slight bit of excitement.
Keep approaching.
If you have the ability, get a little closer to the Abyss.
That way, he could activate the First Great Array at any time and leave these two arrogant young people in the Ghost Realm forever.
This was the price for not listening to advice.
Thinking of this, the High Priest sneered repeatedly.
In fact, the spirit boat continued to sail forward, its heading fixed exactly on the location of the Abyss.
The High Priest gripped the staff in his hand. His eyes held an unprecedented level of excitement and fanaticism.
Awaken once more!
World’s Number One Array!!!
After an interval of 500 years, he would finally be able to see the power of the invincible array his master had personally laid down once again.
He would let these two ungrateful young people become the first hymn announcing his master’s return to the world on the path to resurrection.
