Chapter 75: Hundred Flowers Secret Realm

Lin Yang's trouble was that the egg actually fell out again.

And!

After it landed, the egg actually flew toward a direction at an astonishing speed on its own.

Seeing his egg fly away, Lin Yang naturally went after it.

After all, he knew almost nothing about the egg and didn't know what it was doing.

Moreover, it ran away—will it cause trouble?

Immediately.

Lin Yang chased after it all the way, chasing and chasing.

Finally, in a graveyard, he caught up with the egg.

But before he could grab the egg, the egg actually...

Misty grass, what are you doing burrowing into someone's ancestral grave?

Hey, damn it, the more I scold you, the further you burrow in.

Come back, I… you… ah… grass!

Lin Yang was utterly speechless; he simply couldn't call the egg back.

Originally, he didn't want to chase it or bother with it.

But the egg was actually teasing him.

Seeing he hadn't come after it, the egg waited a bit longer for him.

When he was about to catch the egg, it suddenly flew away again.

Most infuriatingly, even after he exhausted all his methods, he could do nothing to the egg.

Couldn't break through, couldn't block, couldn't lock on.

It seemed immune to all force attacks, all magical artifact obstructions, all formation controls.

Very mysterious.

Moreover, he discovered a serious problem: after the egg swallowed the vital essence condensed from purple flower petals, it seemed to have grown and become much smarter.

Strange!

But now the egg ran into someone's eastern ancestral tomb, and Lin Yang, to chase the egg, also crawled into that tomb.

Inside the ancestral tomb there was a small opening, as if there were light.

Initially extremely narrow, barely allowing a person through; after walking several dozen steps, suddenly there was a sound of opening up.

This damn thing is a trap.

In an instant, Lin Yang felt the world spin, as if stepping into a spacetime tunnel, and then he plummeted straight to the bottom of the trap.

Immediately, his vision suddenly brightened, and he found himself having fallen into a space where a hundred flowers were in bloom.

Meanwhile, the egg had already been waiting at the bottom; after seeing him fall, it bounced twice, as if mocking his predicament.

Lin Yang's face was full of speechlessness.

Immediately.

He no longer bothered with the egg, after all he truly couldn't catch it.

Instead, he looked around at the surroundings.

This space seemed like a fairyland, with flowers in profusion like brocade, fragrance pervasive, and colorful butterflies dancing.

The abundant spiritual energy far exceeded that of the outside world by several times.

And the reason this place has such abundant spiritual energy is mainly due to the vital essence of all things here.

The vital essence of all things here is at least a hundred times that of Hundred Flowers Valley.

"Is this a secret realm?"

Lin Yang muttered to himself, in this world where cultivation is paramount.

There exist countless opportunities and encounters.

And a secret realm is one such kind.

The birth of a secret realm may be due to what predecessors left behind, or it may arise naturally.

Within lie many opportunities and encounters, or perhaps another kind of blessed cave-heaven, which may contain spirit pills, wondrous medicines, divine arts, secret techniques, divine weapons, and so on.

Every secret realm can be called a fortuitous creation.

If one obtains the fate of a secret realm, lightly one can soar to the heavens from then on; heavily, one person attaining the Dao can bring even chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

However, fortuitous creation and danger are almost directly proportional.

Those who can leave behind a secret realm are certainly not mediocre; they also set up corresponding arrangements and trials.

Thus, from ancient times to the present.

Those who pass the trials can obtain their inheritance.

Those who fail the trials can only end up dead in body and soul.

This is truly all too common in the cultivation world.

Of course.

Yet this secret realm makes Lin Yang somewhat uneasy.

Because purple flowers bloom everywhere here.

These flowers' petals are practically identical to the petals formed from that power which tried to take away Li Yilan and her parents' remains in the Xiao family.

"Could that mass of power actually come from here?"

"Moreover, is the egg also drawn here by the vital essence of this place?"

Lin Yang muttered to himself.

And he didn't know that.

This secret realm is called——the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm.

It is exactly beneath the ancestral ground of Hundred Flowers Valley where the Flower Fairy is buried.

Here lies the Flower Fairy.

Legend has it that this place was once a barren land, and later the Flower Fairy established Hundred Flowers Valley here.

To forge Hundred Flowers Valley into a cultivation holy land, she resolutely, with great fearlessness, merged her own bloodline into the mountains, rivers, and lakes.

Thereafter, Hundred Flowers Valley transformed from a barren land into a cultivation holy land where spiritual essence gathered, flowers flourished, trees grew lush, and birds and beasts possessed spiritual wisdom.

————————

On Lin Yang's side, after the egg arrived here, it also did not continue flying away.

Instead, it lay still above the secret realm, its body glowing with a faint light, beginning to mercilessly devour the vital essence of all things here.

Lin Yang gave a wry smile; apparently this egg truly came for the vital essence of all things here, after all, its devouring speed was so fast it was astonishing.

Moreover, it seemed to greatly need the vital essence of all things.

As time slowly passed, thread after thread of the vital essence of all things, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, flowed into the eggshell.

Soon after, the egg began to tremble slightly, and strange patterns gradually appeared on its shell, as if life were being nurtured and transformed within.

"Could it be that this egg can still give birth to life?"

Thinking this, he was full of curiosity, wondering what kind of life this egg would give birth to.

But after waiting a long while, the egg still showed no sign of hatching.

This made him somewhat disappointed.

Immediately.

He also did not continue waiting, after all, this egg wouldn't hatch anytime soon.

Rather than that, let's go see what exactly is going on with this secret realm.

After all, the purple flower petals here and the flower petals formed by the power that sought to abduct Li Yilan and her parents' remains are truly too alike.

What further connection could there be between the two?

His trip to Hundred Flowers Valley was also to investigate the person behind the purple flower petals.

Afterward.

Lin Yang also did not linger, leaping up and soaring into the sky.

As for that egg, being able to devour the purple flower petals, he need not worry about it.

————————

After walking a distance, Lin Yang asked the system: "System, do you know the situation of this secret realm?"

【Detected that this secret realm is called the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm.】

"Hundred Flowers Secret Realm?"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yang's heart jolted.

Before coming to Hundred Flowers Valley, he had heard the Qingmu Sect Master say that Hundred Flowers Valley has one great ancestral ground, plus four great sects and three great families.

And on that ancestral ground lies the Flower Fairy, forming a secret realm of its own, called the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm.

I never expected that this place is actually the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm.

Moreover, he thought of another matter: although this place is named the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, it blooms with purple flowers, and the petals of these flowers are exactly the same as those formed by the power of the Xiao clan.

Could it be that the power that sought to abduct Li Yilan and seize her parents' remains indeed comes from the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm?

Or perhaps this matter is directly related to the Flower Fairy?

But Li Yilan and her parents are both descendants of the Flower Fairy; why would they treat those of blood relation so?

Just as Lin Yang was puzzled, the system's notification sounded again.

【Detected ahead is an ancient grand formation, within which one person is imprisoned; the system issues a mission: rescue this person.】
