Chapter 371

Because the imagined crisis did not exist; instead, there was a scene filled with pictorial beauty and poetic sentiment!

Before their eyes lay a breathtakingly beautiful view. Green mountains surrounded them, with blue skies and white clouds, and the air was filled with a fresh and pleasant scent of flowers and grass.

This was a world filled with spiritual energy, where mysterious energy flowed everywhere.

Stepping into the secret realm, they found themselves in a dense forest. Towering giant trees emitted a charming woody fragrance, colorful butterflies fluttered among the tree canopies, and various birds sang joyfully on the branches.

Bunches of fragrant herbs grew among the woods, their buds waiting to bloom, emitting an alluring yet quiet fragrance.

07 On the ground, mushrooms grew in clusters, in all sorts of strange shapes, emitting an intoxicating aroma.

Wandering through the forest, they saw lakes so clear they revealed the bottom, with emerald-green water reflecting the surrounding scenery.

Reeds by the lakeside swayed gracefully, small fish played happily in the water, lotus flowers floated on the surface, and tadpoles of various colors jumped within them.

On the grassy banks of the lake, flowers bloomed like brocade, with butterflies and bees flying among them, giving a sense of beauty as if in an immortal realm.

In the distance lay a quiet bamboo grove, where emerald-green bamboo leaves swayed with a gentle posture, emitting a series of crisp sounds.

Between the bamboo, a small stream flowed slowly, its water so clear and green it revealed the bottom; occasionally, small fish leaped out of the water, shimmering with seven-colored light under the sunlight.

From within the bamboo grove, the pleasant sound of a zither faintly drifted, making one's heart and mind feel refreshed.

Looking from afar, several magnificent clouds floated in the sky, drifting like fine silk threads, moving slowly.

Sunlight poured through the gaps in the clouds onto the earth, forming mottled patches of light that fell upon the leaves, radiating gorgeous colors; occasionally, a rainbow stretched across the sky, its rosy light brilliant, like a bridge to paradise.

This secret realm was filled with spiritual energy everywhere, and the plants and animals within displayed rich and diverse colors and vitality.

The flowers, grass, trees, and plants all seemed to possess spirit, emitting a unique vitality that made one's heart and mind feel refreshed.

This scene, like an immortal realm in the human world, made their heads buzz.

"This is the secret realm? Didn't they say it was full of demons and monsters everywhere?"

"Why does it look nothing like that at all!"

"Look, although the plants and animals here possess spirit, they lack spiritual intelligence; this is a very rare occurrence!"

Hearing these words, everyone's gazes began to examine everything inside the secret realm, discovering that it was indeed as he had said.

Drops of spiritual essence attached to every flower and plant in a way visible to the naked eye; even the birds in the sky carried a trace of spirit!

Yet when they tried to communicate with these creatures possessing spirit, they received only blank information!

This left them somewhat puzzled!

On their continent, there were countless secret realms; they had entered some of them more or less, but none of those secret realms had a scene like this one!

What exactly was going on?

For a moment, a look of doubt appeared on everyone's minds!

Lin Bai was also somewhat surprised at this moment, because the No Beginning Holy Land had established the secret realm within the Great Desolate Mountains, based on the situation of the Great Desolate Mountains.

No matter how he thought about it, something felt wrong; after all, the Great Desolate Mountains were teeming with demons and monsters, visible everywhere, yet the secret realm established here was like an immortal realm—how could this not be surprising?

Just as he wanted to enter and investigate, the sword in his hand began to buzz loudly, the blade trembling violently, wanting to draw Lin Bai's attention.

Lin Bai frowned slightly, holding the sword horizontally across his chest and asking, "Do you sense something wrong within here?"

In the next moment, the sword trembled violently again.

The sword handle slowly slid out of the scabbard!

Lin Bai, not understanding the reason, did not hesitate and drew the sword directly.

In an instant, the sword left his hand and flew toward the azure sky like a force splitting bamboo!

Suddenly!

It crashed down forcefully!

Clang! As if{Water%Novel}*+

As the sword pierced the ground, the scene before their eyes instantly changed drastically!

Everyone's eyes widened like cart wheels!

The place that was beautiful as an immortal realm one second ago became a human hell the next!

The azure sky instantly vanished, replaced by rolling black clouds; the bright sun in the sky suddenly turned into a blood-red sun, shrouding the entire sky in dense darkness.

Amidst thunder and lightning, flashes of electricity illuminated patches of ground, allowing everyone to see a scene like hell!

A massive crack spread out from the highest mountain range, emitting a series of terrifying roars, as if it had life!

The crack expanded continuously, tearing the land of the immortal realm into boundless abysses; the once beautiful flowers and trees turned into flying fragments, permeated with a bloody scent.

What appeared were all kinds of demons and monsters; huge demonic beasts loitered in the valleys, emitting deafening roars.

Those once docile animals had now become terrifying demons; their eyes turned crimson, their bodies grew huge, and they were filled with a ferocious aura.

Fierce wolf packs ran by the lake, their teeth sharp as knives, emitting heart-pounding howls.

The birds flying in the sky also became twisted and evil; their wings were dark as ink, and their eyes were filled with cruelty and cunning.

990 Wavering black mist emanated from them, spreading throughout the entire secret realm; evil ghosts appeared one by one, their hair disheveled, their gazes fierce as they searched for prey.

The lake water also became turbid and dangerous; countless demonic hands reached out from the lake bottom, ready to drag any object touching the water surface into the abyss.

The once pleasant scenery had now become a nest for demons, permeated everywhere with an evil aura and an atmosphere of death.

The sudden change in the secret realm was baffling; beauty and danger intertwined, like a nightmare illusionary realm.

The land that had just been before them quietly vanished, turning into an empty abyss, like the gate of hell, making people's hearts tremble with fear!

The existence of this abyss isolated the entire secret realm, with its core resembling an island!

At this moment, everyone felt a deep sense of dread in their hearts; if they guessed correctly, everything they had just seen was all an illusion!

And if they had taken that first step just now, they would truly have been left here!

At this moment, a feeling of gratitude toward Lin Bai inevitably rose in everyone's hearts; without the sword in his hand, they would probably be finished right now!

But at the same time, the gazes of some people in the crowd became even more excited!

Even they, strong ones of the Golden Core Realm, had failed to detect the illusion; this further proved the sword's extraordinary nature, and they vowed in their hearts that they must obtain this sword!
