At the same time.

In the mystical Secret Realm.

Winter passed and spring came, spring passed and winter came.

Cycles repeated.

In a quiet place, filled with birdsong and floral fragrance.

Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun sat face to face, meditating with their eyes closed.

Whenever they opened their eyes, they would see each other; when Fang Yu opened his eyes, Ye Wenjun would close hers, and when Ye Wenjun opened her eyes, Fang Yu would close his.

In this way, they passed an uncountable number of springs and autumns.

This was truly a world for just the two of them.

It's said that when you're with the one you love, time flies.

Ye Wenjun didn't quite feel this, but Fang Yu deeply experienced it.

Fang Yu had once cultivated in a Secret Realm for ten thousand years and understood the vast differences in this world; even though it felt like only a dozen hours, over thirty thousand years had passed. This was different from the slow-turning Secret Realm behind Tiandu Mountain.

In the slow-turning Secret Realm on the mountain back, although time turned slowly, the sense of time passed in the Secret Realm was indistinguishable from outside. In other words, one must truly spend hundreds or even thousands of years inside the Secret Realm before just a day or two passed outside.

The ten-thousand-year Secret Realm was purely a mystical kind of Secret Realm.

The difference in time between the inside and outside of the Secret Realm was immense and felt different.

...

No one knows how long it took.

Fang Yu opened his eyes again and saw Ye Wenjun's clear face, unchanged, feeling reassured, he softly said, "Wife, I told you, you haven't aged..."

Only then did Ye Wenjun open her eyes.

Looking at a clear pool of water beside her.

As Fang Yu said.

Nothing had changed.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Not only have you not aged, but you've also become more beautiful... I'm right, aren't I? The spring water has whitening and moisturizing effects, plus the Yin Yang Balance, it's hard not to become beautiful."

Ye Wenjun's face turned rosy.

Too shy to respond to Fang Yu, she asked, "How long have we been cultivating?"

Fang Yu answered, "About thirty thousand years of springs and autumns..."

"Th- Thirty thousand years?"

Ye Wenjun was shocked and seemed incredulous, "How is that possible?!"

Seeing Ye Wenjun so surprised, Fang Yu also sighed and said, "The world is vast, full of wonders beyond imagination... There are many things in this world that humans can't explain. To this day, I don't even know how this Secret Realm was formed. However, I have a feeling that this Secret Realm won't last much longer..."

"What do you mean?" Ye Wenjun asked.

"Look at the trees around us..."

Ye Wenjun looked around.

All over the mountains and plains, trees were growing, some towering over the sky and frighteningly thick, some grew together. As resources expanded, trees grew more abundantly, and although some trees, upon reaching a millennium, stopped thickening, new trees would take root and sprout, constantly occupying space.

Space constantly shrinks.

The ultimate result is an explosion!

At this point, Fang Yu suddenly understood... the inevitable explosion of time-based Secret Realms.

In eight thousand years of outside time, no matter how large the space is, such a Secret Realm will be blown apart by expansion!

No wonder each time a Secret Realm in Jiangzhou exploded, it brought forth many Heavenly Treasures.

Of course.

Another major reason for the explosion of the Secret Realm is the asynchronicity of time, similar to interwoven space that does not merge; how could spaces on different timelines coexist in the real world simultaneously?

Ye Wenjun couldn't help but be amazed.

"I never thought the mysteries within a Secret Realm were so many... No matter how developed the technology and civilization of modern humans, it might be challenging to thoroughly research this thing."

"Indeed."

Fang Yu slowly got up and said, "Wife, let's go back... What's your cultivation level now? I can't see through it anymore..."

Ye Wenjun smiled slightly and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, my cultivation level should be at the Full Saint Realm!"

"Full Saint?"

"Hmm, you don't seem very happy," Ye Wenjun observed.

"Yes..."

Fang Yu sighed, "Thirty thousand years of springs and autumns, I thought I could break through to the Void Saint Realm! Unfortunately...I spent ten thousand years repairing my Qi Sea, another ten thousand filling it up, continuously breaking through, returning to the Full Saint Realm, and spent the last ten thousand years seeking a breakthrough, yet never found the method!"

Ye Wenjun said:

"Greed bites off more than it can chew... You also said, the Void Saint is about being desireless and asking for nothing... we are destined not to break through to the Void Saint, don't you think?"

Seeing Ye Wenjun's watery eyes.

Fang Yu was deeply touched.

He had many ties and couldn't let them go, how could he possibly break through to the Void Saint under such conditions?

But.

The Secret Realm was about to explode.

No one knows if more powerful monsters will appear after the explosion.

However.

Being a Full Saint isn't bad...

Currently, there was still a mass of energy in his body that hadn't been absorbed. It seemed to be used to activate the Human Emperor's power. Fang Yu didn't concern himself with it anymore. Over these thirty thousand years, Fang Yu had expanded his Qi Sea enough to accommodate the energy's growth.

"Wife, you really know how to talk... If the price of breaking through to the Void Saint was losing you... I'd rather not break through for a lifetime!" Fang Yu said.

"Smooth talker!"

Although Ye Wenjun said this, she felt inexplicably moved inside.

"Hehe... let's go!" Fang Yu chuckled, holding Ye Wenjun's small hand.

Using the energy within his body again, he broke open an exit.

The two stepped into the vortex, their figures disappeared.

As they vanished.

The trees and weeds in the entire Secret Realm began to grow wildly, even more crazily than before.

The mountains and rivers were expanding!

As Fang Yu anticipated, this Secret Realm couldn't hold on for much longer.

...

Tiandu Mountain.

Outside the great hall.

"Mr. Fang is back!"

"Mr. Fang has returned!"

"Miss Ye is back!"

The news spread instantaneously throughout Tiandu Mountain.

Inside the great hall.

Everyone gathered.

There were brothers from the Dark Web, members of the Xu family from the Northern Desert, members of the Seventy-two Sects, the core members of the Luli Sect, members of the Five Great Divine Palaces, and various Hall Masters... even the Taia Sect, one of the Three Divine Sects, were all present.

"Mr. Fang, haven't seen you and Wenjun sister for a whole day, where did you go?" Shangguan Linghui blinked and asked.

Fang Yu scanned the entire great hall, glanced at Shangguan Linghui, and said in a low voice, "Don't ask questions if you don't know..."

The whole room burst into laughter.

At this moment.

Fang Yu asked, "Jiang Ren."

"Present," Jiang Ren stepped out.

"Have all the hiding Secret Realms been found?"

"Arrangements have been made..."

"Very good, how much time is left before the explosion?"

"Reporting to Mr. Fang... exactly twenty-four hours are left."

At that moment.

Jiang Hongxiu walked out holding a Zen Stick, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I believe we can enter the Secret Realm in advance. From my experience, ten hours before a Secret Realm explosion, there will be massive fluctuations."

"Hmm... thanks for the reminder, Clan Leader Jiang! How about this, Chen Daotian, Lin Weifeng, Xu Huawen... Shangguan Linghui, Ye Wenjun... and Xu... huh, where's Miss Xu Sisi?" Fang Yu asked puzzledly.

Chen Daotian stepped out and recounted the incident of Xu Sisi getting injured.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu shook his head and said, "Such a reckless girl, give her this medicinal grass to take..." Fang Yu tossed out a stalk of medicinal grass...

This medicinal herb was an extremely rare quality herb of over thirty thousand years.

Fang Yu didn't bother to introduce it.

"Those mentioned earlier, be ready to go to the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land with me in an hour... everyone else, enter the Secret Realm in advance!"

"Yes!"
