"Little rascal, just a few days after you went into seclusion, the trees in Jiangnan province started turning green, and a massive rift appeared in the East Sea, with a lot of Spiritual Energy pouring into Earth. Elder Chen and Elder Yue Chan said it was the Penglai Secret Realm about to open. Once you come out from seclusion, you can head over there."

Ruan Xinxue smiled slightly and explained.

"Is the Penglai Secret Realm about to open?"

A flash of brilliance passed through Qin Yang's eyes as he spoke.

Previously, when he was at the Nangong Clan, Nangong Feng had told him that the Penglai Secret Realm opens once every hundred years. Inside, there are many rare Spirit Medicines and Fruits, as well as some opportunities. But of course, there are also some powerful Demon Beasts.

However, the Penglai Secret Realm holds another significance for Qin Yang.

According to Zilan's Vermilion Bird inheritance, thousands of years ago, the place where those cultivators disappeared on Earth was also within the huge rift above the East Sea.

Now the rift at the entrance of the Penglai Secret Realm is in the East Sea, and these two places are likely the same. Through the Penglai Secret Realm, it might be possible to reach another new world, which remains to be seen.

This journey to the Secret Realm is one he must take!

"Old Joe, do you know what the current situation is with this Secret Realm?"

Qin Yang looked towards Old Joe and asked.

"Qin Yang, this time the Penglai Secret Realm is causing quite a stir. The trees in Jiangnan, Kyushu Island in Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia have started turning green, attracting worldwide attention. Later on, the immense rift at the entrance to the Secret Realm was discovered, and many countries' research vessels rushed to the site, monitoring and studying day and night."

Old Joe said.

"During my seclusion, so much happened?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

"Qin Yang, boy, not just those countries' vessels but our Huaxia's Ancient Martial Artists, the ninja families from Japan, and the Bordeaux Clan from the West.

Plus Superpower Users from the United States, Russia, the European Union, and other countries have also deployed to the area. Besides, other powerful individuals from around the world have gathered there, waiting for the Secret Realm entrance to stabilize."

Old Joe's expression darkened slightly, and his voice carried a hint of seriousness as he spoke.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Qin Yang nodded, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. It seems, apart from the resources and Demon Beasts, there would be skirmishes among various forces within the Penglai Secret Realm.

Just right, he wanted to settle some scores with those Japanese, and the Western Werewolves.

"Qin Yang, boy, besides those countries, our Huaxia has also deployed people. Huo'Er, Thunder God, and others from the Special Security Department will enter the Penglai Secret Realm."

Old Joe said, then immediately turned his gaze towards Qin Yang.

"Some countries might target each other, Qin Yang, boy. The old man knows you're strong. If they need help, I hope you can keep an eye out."

Old Joe revealed the purpose for waiting for Qin Yang.

"Rest assured, Old Joe, don't forget, I'm also a member of the Special Security Department, and the blood flowing in me is Huaxia's."

Qin Yang nodded and smiled.

Even without Old Joe mentioning it, Qin Yang wouldn't ignore them if he saw it, let alone with Huo'Er and the others there.

"Hmm, according to the news from Huo'Er and the others, the entrance to the Secret Realm is nearing stability. It might be accessible by noon today."

Old Joe said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang's expression tightened. It was already past nine in the morning.

"Seems like I should set off too."

Qin Yang said, then with a thought, sent a message to the Flying Thunder Eagle.

Screech~!

In the grass, the Flying Thunder Eagle playing with the Fire Flame Lion flapped its wings and flew over.

The Fire Flame Lion affectionately nudged Qin Yang's hand. The current Fire Flame Lion had a powerful aura, not weaker than an expert at the Innate Realm.

From the perspective of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Fire Flame Lion already counted as a Peak Demon Beast at the Qi Refining Realm.

Qin Yang opened the Spirit Beast Bag and put the Fire Flame Lion inside. The Penglai Secret Realm had many Spirit Medicines and Fruits, as well as many Demon Beasts, which would certainly aid Xiao Yan's growth.

"Brother Qin Yang, I also want to go."

Zilan, off to the side, said.

"You? It's no child's play in there. Aside from the powerful Demon Beasts and hidden dangers, the Werewolf Princes and Japan's Celestial Ninja are not easy to deal with."

Hearing this, Qin Yang immediately shook his head and said.

"Brother Qin Yang, I can protect myself, see."

Zilan pouted and said, with Fire Spirit Power emanating around her.

"High Level Immortal Warrior?"

Qin Yang was taken aback. In just a few days, Zilan had achieved a breakthrough to High Level Immortal Warrior, and her Fire Spirit Power was purer and more robust than an average Fire Element Spirit Root user's.

This Fire Spirit Body talent is indeed exceptional, especially at the Immortal Warrior stage, almost without bottlenecks.

"Brother Qin Yang, I can protect myself, and even if I can't, you will be there, right?"

Zilan chuckled, tugging at Qin Yang's sleeve, and said.

"This..."

Qin Yang hesitated.

"Also, Brother Qin Yang, I want to test my skills. I've learned some magic yet to be used in practice."

Zilan said.

Faced with Zilan's pouting, Qin Yang was somewhat helpless, but after some thought, he eventually nodded.

Zilan had already advanced to High Level Immortal Warrior. In the Secret Realm, if she makes breakthroughs, she could even step into the Immortal Master Realm. Besides, the path of cultivation requires overcoming challenges.

"Alright, you can come, but once there, you must listen to me."

Qin Yang said, looking at Zilan.

"Hehe, I will. Brother Qin Yang is the best."

Zilan chuckled, her pretty face brimming with excitement.

With that, after briefly bidding farewell to Ruan Xinxue, Old Joe, and others, Qin Yang and Nangong Zilan vanished, onto the Flying Thunder Eagle.

Screech~!

The Flying Thunder Eagle let out a piercing eagle cry and flew towards the East Sea.

Flap~! Flap~!

The Flying Thunder Eagle flew over the border between Jiangnan Province and Jiangbei Province, entering Jiangnan Province territory. As it flew further, Qin Yang noticed more and more trees sprouting new buds and green leaves.

"Haha, while Jiangbei Province feels like autumn, Jiangnan Province, especially the coastal area, seems like spring, kind of feels like time has changed."

Qin Yang chuckled and then withdrew his gaze from the green-tinged forests below to gaze ahead where the limitless sea came into view.

Over the sea, the breeze carried less of a salty dampness, and Qin Yang could clearly feel the Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth becoming much denser.

"This Penglai Secret Realm can emerge with so much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the Spiritual Energy inside must be even richer."

Qin Yang's eyes gleamed.

Swoosh!

The Flying Thunder Eagle sliced through the void, carrying Qin Yang and Zilan towards the Void Rift.
