Chapter 1114: A Quick Visit

Feng Xiaoxiao has, up to now, captured more than ten ferocious beasts and feels that's enough; ferocious beasts also need to eat, consuming cultivation resources, and if she catches more, she can't afford to raise them.

Even if she tried to sell them, the beasts here are too ordinary, lacking rare varieties, and fetch no good price.

So the Feng Clan disciples are too lazy to bother, just choosing the ones they like and capturing them as pets.

Only Ye Liuyun works tirelessly, never taking a break.

"Are you never tired? Don't you need rest?" Feng Xiaoxiao kept chasing Ye Liuyun, asking.

Ye Liuyun, while talking to them, kept throwing magical nets to capture ferocious beasts.

He explained to Feng Xiaoxiao: "It's fine! Using magical nets to catch beasts doesn't require me to expend True Essence!"

"Why are you catching so many beasts? Even if you need meat, a Storage Ring should be full by now," Feng Xiaoxiao said, still unaware that Ye Liuyun has a Space World.

"Why do you have so many questions! Stop following me and go rest!" Ye Liuyun, not wanting to reply, tried to drive them away.

Feng Xiaoxiao, helpless, had to return to the camp to rest.

Ye Liuyun seized the chance to swap with his clone and went back to his Space World to rest.

The subsequent situation unfolded much as Ye Liuyun had anticipated.

"We can't go further forward; everyone retreat!"

Ye Liuyun immediately led the group back in a charge.

They now faced a massive number of Di Zun First Rank beasts; although they aren't afraid of beasts of this rank, the sheer quantity would eventually wear them out to death.

So Ye Liuyun made a swift decision, taking advantage of everyone's abundant True Essence, and ordered an immediate retreat.

Ye Liuyun led them to keep retreating until they reached the Zao Hua Fifth and Sixth Layers' beast domain, then stopped.

"Yuan Hai, Wan Xing, you two are in charge of bringing the team back to the Formation area. From now on, at most three squads may go hunting each time. The others must stay on guard at all times."

Ye Liuyun instructed Yuan Hai and Wan Xing: "Remember, never be careless thinking there's no danger. Sometimes danger appears when you're most relaxed!"

Both of them immediately nodded in agreement.

"What about you?" Yuan Hai asked worriedly.

"I have to scout ahead, otherwise I can't report back to the Elders!" Ye Liuyun fabricated a lie.

"Then be very careful!" Yuan Hai took him at his word, moved by him.

"You too! I'll have the Black Python help me catch some beasts, then return to protect you."

After saying that, Ye Liuyun left the group and rushed toward the depths of the Secret Realm.

Yuan Hai and Wan Xing earnestly led the team back, setting up camp near the Formation.

Thus, after this brief visit, the Feng Clan disciples all withdrew.

After walking for a while, Ye Liuyun released the Black Python, giving it several Storage Rings capable of holding living things.

"Go capture beasts from Zao Hua Ninth Layer down to Di Zun First Rank. Once the Storage Rings are full, meet me near the camp and also guard those Feng Clan disciples."

At this moment, Ye Liuyun hadn't forgotten to hunt beasts.

The Black Python swallowed the Storage Rings and began the hunt.

Ye Liuyun donned the Invisibility Cloak, activated the Xuanwu invisibility shield to protect himself, and then rushed straight toward the Secret Realm's central area.

Here, the beasts disappear after the Earth Sovereign Ninth Rank. The central area of the Secret Realm seems to have no beasts daring to enter.

Starting from the Earth Sovereign Third Rank beasts, their density drops sharply.

In other words, there are no Tianzun Realm beasts here. Above Earth Sovereign Third Rank, beasts are few.

Since Ye Liuyun is no longer fighting, the advance speed is very fast.

In the Secret Realm's central area, not even a shadow of a beast can be seen.

Mountains, forests, vegetation, etc., are the same as outside, but the concentration of spiritual energy has increased severalfold.

Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense, sensed the presence of a structure in the distance, and immediately sprinted toward it.

When he got a bit closer, he discovered that the Secret Realm's central area was actually a massive city.

"A Demon Race city?"

Seeing the city, Ye Liuyun felt doubtful.

The city's black hue and style resembled Demon Race architecture, yet there was not a trace of Demon Qi inside.

Everywhere was silent; not a single living creature was seen.

"What place is this?"

He approached the city with lingering doubt. Upon getting close, he found the city gate open.

He examined it closely and confirmed that the traces were all fresh.

"Could Mo Tianheng have already arrived?"

Thinking of that, he entered the city, searching for the building Mo Tianheng had mentioned.

He walked to the city center, where Ye Liuyun finally saw the building.

"You're too slow! If you don't come soon, I'll have to go in myself."

At that moment, Mo Tianheng emerged from behind a stone pillar at the palace entrance, speaking toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun folded away his Invisibility Cloak and asked Mo Tianheng: "Can you see me?"

"I can't see you, but I can sense you!" Mo Tianheng replied.

But Ye Liuyun guessed that he probably hadn't noticed the Xuanwu.

"Let's go, come in with me, I have something good for you!" Mo Tianheng beckoned Ye Liuyun, and they entered the Grand Hall together.

"What's going on here?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"This was originally a Demon Race outpost, but a great being expelled the demons and turned the site into a Secret Realm, raising some ferocious beasts around it for protection."

Mo Tianheng, clearly familiar with the place, pushed open the palace doors and led Ye Liuyun inside.

"Then what treasures are here?" Ye Liuyun became curious.

"There are two treasures, you must be interested!" Mo Tianheng chatted with Ye Liuyun while scanning the hall's interior, as if recalling something.

Mo Tianheng continued: "One is the key to Heaven beyond Heaven. The other is the Demon God's Primordial Elixir."

"Wait, what is Heaven beyond Heaven, what key?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

At this moment, his clone was also inside Space World, inquiring of Qiong Qi.

"Heaven beyond Heaven is the Divine Realm!" Qiong Qi explained.

Mo Tianheng, however, explained it in greater detail.

"The so-called Heaven beyond Heaven is actually just a world—only a higher one than this. Some also call that place the Divine Realm. But many of its inhabitants do not even know that our world exists."

"What's good about it?" Ye Liuyun continued to ask.

"The martial arts there are far more advanced. Look at this world—don't you see no Divine Rank experts? That's because Divine Rank experts won't stay here, since this place lacks the cultivation resources they need. Whereas there, Divine Rank experts are everywhere."
