"That's too scary. From now on, be careful before doing anything."

Du Yuze expressed his shock and gave everyone a heads-up.

"Yeah, just be more vigilant. Actually, our strength isn't lacking," Lin Yifan responded.

The implication was to not be overly worried; they were capable of handling the Spirit Beasts within the Secret Realm.

"Exactly!" Du Yuze agreed with this viewpoint.

Given that they were able to eliminate a large Sect, any Spirit Beast within the Secret Realm was naturally not a big deal; he was just being overly cautious.

"Are you hurt?"

"With me here, how could we possibly get hurt?"

"Boss is truly boss, as steady as Mount Tai."

Du Yuze genuinely admired them; the situation must have been urgent, even though he didn't witness it firsthand. But from Lin Yifan and Xiaofang's expressions, he could tell the result.

On the other side, once safe, Xiaofang voiced her curiosity: "Yifan, how did you know there were Spirit Beasts in the river?"

"I encountered a similar situation in the Beixuan Palace Secret Realm, so I knew," Lin Yifan replied.

"I see."

Xiaofang had an epiphany, solving the mystery in her heart.

"Alright, let's not dwell on it; let's leave quickly!"

Although startled by the water Spirit Beast, there was no need to fuss over it. After all, there were many Spirit Beasts within the Secret Realm, and it's impossible to kill them all. Therefore, they shouldn't waste precious time on them.

Xiaofang and Du Yuze had no objections, so the three of them set off together, leaving the area.

Soon after, they found a small town that had already been searched by others, so it likely wouldn't have many treasures left.

Lin Yifan's goal was not to seek treasures but to find Ancient Books, so the town was still of interest to him.

They continued to search while changing locations.

By the time they reached the third small town, several hours had passed.

Calculations showed that the long night should have ended, but the sun never rose, and night remained night.

This puzzled Xiaofang and Du Yuze, leaving them uncertain about the situation.

"Why hasn't the day broken yet?"

"Twelve hours have passed; isn't it time for dawn?"

"Don't foolishly gaze towards the east; the sun won't rise."

Lin Yifan shattered Du Yuze and Xiaofang's illusions, waking them up.

"Why?"

Xiaofang and Du Yuze were astonished, unsure why Lin Yifan said that. Did he know what was happening?

"Because this is a Secret Realm, completely cut off from the outside world. The weather and rules here are artificially created; haven't you noticed the moon hanging high in the sky, unmoving? That's the biggest proof," Lin Yifan explained.

"Seems like it!" Xiaofang and Du Yuze had a sudden realization, acknowledging the truth.

Their entry into the Secret Realm began in the morning, but the environment inside was nighttime, indicating no connection to the outside.

Furthermore, the Secret Realm is protected by a powerful Formation Prohibition, controlling everything here.

Once they understood, they curiously asked, "Is the Beixuan Palace Secret Realm like this too?"

"Yes, but the Beixuan Palace Secret Realm is different; it has day and night, whereas here it's only night," Lin Yifan answered.

"I understand now; so that's how it is."

Xiaofang and Du Yuze solved the mystery of why there's no daytime in the Secret Realm.

However, they were curious about when Lin Yifan learned about this, so they asked, "Yifan, when did you find out there wouldn't be daytime in the Secret Realm?"

"Before encountering the two medium-sized Sects," Lin Yifan answered truthfully.

"So early? Where did you discover it?" Xiaofang asked further.

"Learned it from an Ancient Book," Lin Yifan responded.

"Got it!"

After annihilating the Diancang Sect, Lin Yifan had been searching for Ancient Books. No wonder he discovered this secret before them.

"Boss, what else did you find in the Ancient Books?"

Du Yuze was very curious because those were about ancient matters. He very much wanted to learn what happened in the Ancient Era, how this Ancient Cultivation Organization perished, and moreover, wished to obtain an Immortal Level Martial Arts.

"I discovered the name of this Ancient Cultivation Organization," Lin Yifan answered with some reservation.

"What's the name of the Ancient Cultivation Organization?" Du Yuze asked curiously.

"Moon Worship Sect!"

"Moon Worship Sect? That's a peculiar name. Boss, do you know why they chose this name?"

"I don't know!"

Lin Yifan shook his head, not wanting too many people to know about the Moon Worship Sect.

"That's a pity. If I could figure out why it's called Moon Worship Sect, maybe it could unravel ancient mysteries and provide insights into how this Sect operated."

Du Yuze sighed repeatedly, feeling he missed something significant.

"Don't think too much; understanding it thoroughly might not benefit you."

"Boss, what do you mean by that?"

"This sect practiced shady Martial Arts, which aren't good for personal development; hence, getting entangled with them could ultimately harm yourself," Lin Yifan replied.

"You're right!"

Du Yuze agreed with this viewpoint.

All along the way, the Martial Arts Secret Manuals they picked up were either related to poison or blood, or even Feng Shui Eight Trigrams; they were indeed shady practices. Long-term cultivation would certainly be detrimental to one's path, possibly altering a person's character from good to bad.

Next, Lin Yifan continued searching for Ancient Books in the town to understand the situation back then.

Xiaofang and Du Yuze transformed into assistants, helping Lin Yifan find these Ancient Books.

Arriving at the residential district of a wealthy family in the town, they began their search.

Soon, they unearthed a large number of books.

These books were continuously delivered to the room where Lin Yifan was, allowing him to review them.

Lin Yifan was absorbed in the sea of books, turning into an outsider watching the complex historical stories and understanding the diverse lives of the Ancient Times.

The books they found ranged from literary works to diaries, Martial Arts Secret Manuals, account books, and even writings depicting secret affairs between men and women.

Most of these books were useless; so after skimming them, Lin Yifan would usually discard them.

Constantly perusing, he finally discovered something valuable in a journal.

According to the journal's owner before his death, an Elder from the Moon Worship Sect has a Cave Mansion, located within this Secret Realm.

This Elder generally stayed outside, seldom returning to the Moon Worship Sect, for reasons unknown.

This was a tremendous piece of news; having an Elder's Cave Mansion implied more treasures and records on Moon Worship Sect.

He eagerly wanted to obtain these, so after quickly finishing the remaining Ancient Books, he set out.
