Chapter 2394: The Unopenable Secret Realm Entrance

~8 min read 1,430 words

In the mist, the Blessing Pool did not glow. But all the data pointed to it being the entrance to the Secret Realm, and Earth Mother still wanted to try.

Did the enemy use some method to conceal the aura of the Secret Realm?

"Blood."

The cyclops brought over a bulging large skin sack and dumped it into the pool.

Splish-splash-splash, it was all earth dragon's blood, bloody and viscous.

After pouring it until the pool was half full, the stone man gestured to the cyclops, who then casually grabbed a nearby wolf demon and threw it straight into the pool.

"Plonk," the wolf demon splattered with blood all over, looking quite embarrassed.

But it immediately got up, shook its body— and stood in the pool.

After observing for more than ten breaths, the wolf demon neither disappeared nor sank. Thus Earth Mother said to the Violent Bear King: "You bleed some, yours."

Those last two words were added by Earth Mother when she saw the Violent Bear King looking left and right, thinking of grabbing another demon to bleed, and hurriedly supplemented.

The Violent Bear King had no choice but to bite open his own forepaw and squeeze out a dozen or so drops of fresh blood into the pool.

At the same time, the stone man also jumped to the edge of the pool, lifted his leg, and stomped a dozen or so times.

Its rhythm varied between fast and slow; someone unaware would mostly think it was dancing, and even the movements had a touch of nonchalance.

It did not use much force, but it caused an unusually deep and far-reaching vibration; ripples invisible to the human eye, at a strange frequency, rapidly surged back and forth several times in the Blessing Pool and its vicinity, forming in Earth Mother's eyes a large net of ripples.

It was like a spider staying right in the center of this large net, able to detect any anomaly.

If there were a Secret Realm entrance nearby, even if it were currently closed, it would cause an anomaly in the shockwave, thereby exposing its true position. Because the junction between the two worlds is not smooth, even if it is a virtual-real connection.

Indeed, the returning wave was slightly uneven.

After several returning waves came in succession, Earth Mother confirmed the location of the anomaly.

"Here it is!" The little stone man jumped down from the Violent Bear King's shoulder, and when he fell into the pool he had already become over a zhang tall. He pressed one palm into the pool bottom, sending blood water splashing everywhere.

Sure enough, it was still in this pool; the enemy was very cunning, using water to conceal the special fluctuation.

But this could not escape its perception!

Not only the Heavenly Demons currently fighting outside the city, but also True Person Sihai and others were distracted, staring at Earth Mother's actions; seeing her suddenly jump into the pool, they all became very tense.

Will the Panlong Secret Realm open again?

Everyone prepared themselves individually.

However, Earth Mother reached her hand into the pool and fumbled around for a long time, but nothing abnormal happened.

She did not believe in evil, and struck the pool bottom again with her palm.

Thud, this time the movement was quite large.

But still nothing happened.

Xiyi, who had entered Panlong Ancient City via the Heavenly Ladder, happened to see this scene and couldn't help but ask his elder brother through thought: "Is it unable to find the Secret Realm entrance?"

"Hmm."

Xiyi cursed loudly: "You scold others every day as useless, but don't even look at what kind of trash you yourself are!"

Ji Yao, however, said: "Earth Mother's abilities are not limited to this; give her some time."

"Tch!"

At this moment, Earth Mother's clone walked out of the pool. If her face could show expression, it would now be blazing with anger.

The shockwave indeed indicated that there was something abnormal here.

She had encountered special relics before that would move the well-known entrance elsewhere, using a blindfold method to cover it up, so this time she specifically used shockwaves. She can ignore the obstruction of the blindfold method and directly mark the abnormal point.

However, after careful inspection, Earth Mother found this was just an ordinary water pool, not connected to the Secret Realm.

Why would the results of her several divine abilities detecting things be self-contradictory?

Or is it that this Secret Realm's entrance used multiple methods to conceal itself, so that she couldn't even find a crack in the door?

During her thinking, another two squads of demon soldiers dug up items from the glowing location and brought them over, eyes full of hope.

A comb.

A tile fragment.

Obviously those two places were not entrances either.

Earth Mother suppressed her anger and comforted herself:

Well, at least we've eliminated two more suspicious spots, bringing us closer to the true entrance.

At this moment, Xiyi's divine words also reached her ears through the stone man's clone: "Earth Mother, how much longer do you have to search? Our time is precious; we can't just let you play in the pool."

Although her brother reminded her, but these few mocking words wouldn't come out, and her spirit felt uneasy.

Earth Mother focused entirely on thinking, ignoring him completely.

The Violent Bear King rumbled: "Maybe, it takes a specific person to open the door and enter."

"Nonsense!" Earth Mother snapped angrily, "Then you go to Shenguo Ducheng and bring me the Sheng King bound!"

"Uh!" The Violent Bear King opened his mouth, as if it weren't impossible, but isn't it a bit too late?

Earth Mother stomped her feet a few more times, but this time the shockwave positioning failed to detect any anomaly in the Blessing Pool.

"What does this mean?" Earth Mother strained to think, "Has even that faint trace of connection between the Secret Realm and reality been wiped out?"

"That is to say, the entrance of the Secret Realm in the Blessing Pool has been completely and permanently closed. But this should have just happened not long ago, so my previous few detections were still able to pick up the residual waves."

"This entrance has been known by too many people; the behind-the-scenes figure fears I will dig it up, so they plan to open another one? That doesn't make sense!" Earth Mother muttered, "The entrance of a Secret Realm should not be changeable at will, let alone, why can living people and living things control it?"

This ruin is getting stranger and stranger.

But Earth Mother became even more excited instead. The more capable the prey, the harder it struggles, the greater the benefit to her.

The Violent Bear King stammered: "Then, that now?"

"The Secret Realm must have another entrance."

Who said every Secret Realm has only one entrance? Close one, and maybe there is still a second or third, just that no one discovered them before.

The earth mother turned her head to look at the remaining glowing points.

It should be right in here, no wonder the person behind the scenes tried every way to confuse and mislead.

¥¥¥¥¥

Panlong Secret Realm.

Seeing the stone bridge built by the earth mother collapse five or six times in succession, Zhu Xiuer was not excited, but instead became more heavy and solemn:

"At this height, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it."

Afterwards, it and He Lingchuan saw Qingtu Ghost step forward and build a floating bridge.

The demon soldiers of Yujing City finally succeeded in crossing the heavenly chasm and reached the Chipa Plateau. They poked their heads at the gate of Panlong Ancient City, lingered for a while before sneaking in, and wandered around inquiring.

"I hope our arrangements can delay them a bit longer."

At this moment, the ground still trembled lightly again, this time in waves, like pulses.

The cave spider queen was especially sensitive to vibrations and immediately said: "What's wrong again?"

He Lingchuan did not answer.

He felt something in his heart, suddenly turned his head to look toward the darkness beyond Minglin Sha, and frowned.

"What?" Seeing his face as still as water, Zhu Xiuer had an ominous premonition and followed his gaze.

In the darkness, the outlines of mountains and rivers could be vaguely seen, they were deforming, but nothing abnormal could be discerned.

He Lingchuan, however, said: "I can sense the state of the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, the formation of the new secret realm……has encountered a problem."
