Fang Yu couldn't help but feel great joy in his heart.
Just as he was about to land, Fang Yu began to fret, saying, "The Inner Essence is excessively depleted, damn it... the Halley's Comet is crashing into Earth—"
Boom—
A loud noise echoed around.
In the dense forest, dust was everywhere.
A portion of the forest collapsed.
It wasn't until a long time later that the forest quieted down.
Cough cough.
Cough cough cough...
A series of coughs rang out.
In this silent forest, it seemed particularly abrupt.
"Damn, the familiar smell, the familiar formula..."
Fang Yu climbed out of the dirt pile. Apart from the shattered trees, there was a deep pit nearby. Just like before, there were a lot of bones around. The environment was very harsh, with lots of water stains. The lighting was dim.
Fang Yu patted the dust off his body, looked ahead, and said, "Luckily, I know the way..."
If it were anyone else, they would be extremely panicked at this moment, helpless, unable to find the way.
But only Fang Yu, familiar as always, walked forward.
Not long after, that familiar winding path appeared, and Fang Yu couldn't help but feel happy and quickly walked over.
Passing through the gloomy woods, the rocks on the path also appeared.
"Not far now." Fang Yu quickened his pace.
Sure enough—
After walking for a short time, Fang Yu saw the small cave at the end of the forest.
If he hadn't been here last time, this cave really would have been particularly difficult to find. After not coming for a while, many new vines had grown at the mouth of the cave, dense and thick.
"That's actually good, in case someday someone as unlucky as me blunders in, it won't be good."
Saying this, Fang Yu walked over.
Instead of clearing away the vines, he preserved them, squeezing through a narrow opening on the side.
After a period of walking.
Fang Yu arrived deep inside the cave.
"Huh? Where are the Dragon Emperor's bones?" Fang Yu searched left and right where the bones appeared before, unable to find them, his hair standing on end, "No way, did they come back to life and crawl away?!"
Coincidentally.
A gust of wind came through the cave, giving Fang Yu a cold shiver.
"Geez... scaring myself!" Fang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Fang Yu continued to walk forward.
Looking toward the somewhat bright direction, Fang Yu said, "Finally almost there..."
The brightness was indeed the entrance to the Secret Realm.
"Why does it feel like there's an attraction... like a whirlpool?" Fang Yu felt his body being drawn, wanting to move toward it, "Could the Dragon Emperor's bones have been sucked in like this?"
With a slight contemplation, Fang Yu continued forward.
The Dragon Emperor was ultimately a thing of the past, mulling over it wouldn't help.
Immediately thereafter.
Fang Yu walked over.
A whirlpool appeared.
Without any hesitation, Fang Yu dove into it.
Swoosh—
Heaven and earth transformed.
Everything changed form, the sky, the land, the air. The sun, moon, and stars changed, as well as the universe and galaxy...
Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"I, Fang Yu, am here again..."
Fang Yu took out his phone and started calculating the time ratio.
Simultaneously, he looked around for the exit of the Secret Realm.
After searching around, he found nothing.
"It seems the Secret Realm exit needs to span the entire Secret Realm again." Just like last time.
Fang Yu wasn't afraid. After all, here was a slow rotating space, giving him plenty of time.
Moreover, now Fang Yu's strength and cultivation were far superior to when he first came to this Secret Realm, slaying monsters here was no longer an issue.
Fighting monsters didn't hold much interest for Fang Yu; it wasn't challenging either.
Rather, he preferred to sit in meditation, first checking the time ratio.
He took out his phone, activated the stopwatch function, and began calculating.
He also observed the position of the sun, making some estimations.
Like this.
An hour passed, the stopwatch didn't move.
Two hours passed, the stopwatch didn't move.
...
Three hours.
Four hours.
Five hours.
...
Fang Yu started to feel a bit anxious.
"What's going on?!" Fang Yu frowned, checking his phone, it wasn't broken.
After five hours, the stopwatch hadn't moved a second!
This ratio is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?
Six hours.
Seven hours.
...
Fifteen hours.
...
A day passed!
Tap.
A crisp sound.
The stopwatch ticked once.
One second passed.
Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"Damn it! Isn't this... in the Secret Realm a day, which is twenty-four hours, in total eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds! "
Eighty thousand times the slow rotating ratio!
Fang Yu started cursing: "What's going on? Damn it... do I have to stay here forever?"
Eighty thousand times!
Converting it, each day outside, Fang Yu needs to stay eighty thousand days in the Secret Realm... which translates to two hundred thirty-six years!
Originally agreed with Ye Wenjun and others was for a week, which means needing over one thousand six hundred years!
"Damn!!!!"
This kind of thing would make anyone curse.
Last time staying in the Secret Realm for seventy years was already unbearable.
Over a thousand years!
It's questionable whether one can live that long.
Immediately thereafter...
Fang Yu's expression turned serious.
"I understand now... it turns out, it's not just people that mutate, the Secret Realm can mutate too. This slow rotating Secret Realm must have evolved. Over a thousand years! It's hard to wait, the plan has changed, I must get out early!"
He secretly made a decision.
Fang Yu stood up.
Just as he was about to set off.
Sounds of footsteps emerged from nearby.
On a boundless plain, a large group of yak-like fierce beasts was charging forward.
"Huh?"
Fang Yu focused his eyes, "Seems like... I underestimated this slow rotating Secret Realm, not only the time has slowed further, even the monsters have strengthened several levels. Well then! I'll use you for practice!"
Swoosh!
The Dragon Roar Sword appeared.
Fang Yu wielded the Dragon Roar Sword and charged in.
...
Meanwhile.
Outside the Secret Realm at Tiandu Mountain.
Inside Tiandu Palace.
Ye Wenjun, Xu Sisi, and Shangguan Linghui.
Were observing the murals in the passage at the back of the hall.
"Sister Wenjun, Mr. Fang said he'd be gone for seven days. Can he really achieve a breakthrough in seven days?" Xu Sisi asked.
Ye Wenjun paused her gaze and said, "According to his previous explanation, in five days, he can cultivate for seventy years in the Secret Realm. Seven days should be around a hundred years, and although a hundred years of cultivation may not make him the world's strongest, it should be enough to deal with the True Phoenix Clan."
"A hundred years..." Xu Sisi and Shangguan Linghui were secretly amazed.
"Oh... I wish one day we also have such an opportunity." Shangguan Linghui said enviously.
Xu Sisi said with a smile, "It's not as good as you think... a hundred years is enough to turn you into an old lady. Forget cultivating, it'll be good if you can even move. Mr. Fang masters the Alchemy Technique, with many herbs in the Secret Realm, if he can create the Life Extension Pill, enduring a hundred years is no problem..."
"Hm." Shangguan Linghui nodded.
Ye Wenjun pointed at the paintings on the wall and said, "Let's not relax, seven days... one can encounter any danger. Tiandu Hall and the Five Great Divine Palaces are Ancient Relics, let's thoroughly observe them, maybe we can have some insights."
"Alright!"
Clearly only seven days.
Yet...
It felt like it never ended.
Just at this moment—
At the bottom of the mountain only five kilometers away from Tiandu Mountain. A group of people dressed in black robes slowly approached.
The eight in front, riding tall horses, looked sternly ahead—
"Ten miles ahead is the location of Tiandu Mountain... find the Holy Daughter and forcefully bring her back! As for the others... kill without mercy!"
"Yes!"
