Ming Zhitian said, "It's bound by thousands of meteor chains, unable to exert its full power, and its vision is also restricted, greatly diminishing its strength. Xue'er and I went through many trials to trap it here."
Guo Qiang flashed a wicked smile, "Calling each other so intimately, are you married?"
Ming Zhitian laughed heartily, "You might be surprised, but you actually guessed right."
Guo Qiang was stunned, "No way? You got married down there?"
Ming Zhitian stood tall and proud, "Of course. With my character and charm, it was a piece of cake."
Guo Qiang gave him a thumbs up, "You're amazing. To be honest, your feelings for her..."
Ming Zhitian said seriously, "Of course. At first, I pitied her, and then I fell in love with her."
Then, he took out ten pills from his storage bag, "This is for you, ten Grade 100 Body Refining Pills. Should be enough for you to advance two or three levels?"
Guo Qiang was shocked, "Ten? And Grade 100 pills! They're worth millions of Divine Martial Coins. Are you really willing to give them to me?"
Ming Zhitian scoffed, "My brother, stop being so hesitant. Do you want them or not?"
Guo Qiang took them with both hands and immediately put them into his storage bag, "Yes! Yes! Hehe, only a fool wouldn't want them."
"Thank you! Zhitian."
Ming Zhitian waved his hand, "No problem, it's a small matter. What else do you need? Cultivation techniques, spiritual artifacts, anything."
Guo Qiang said, "It's enough, it's enough. Ten Grade 100 Body Refining Pills, I'm content.
Almost forgot the main thing, the Forgotten Secret Realm has opened. You're late, hurry up and come with me, all the treasures will be snatched away."
...
The three-day period had passed. Ming Zhitian, rushing along with Guo Qiang, arrived at a desolate land where a swirling vortex of light was flashing and slowly closing.
The three sect leaders, Tian Nanjie, Bai Lingyue, and Xiao Le, were waiting there, eager for the disciples of their three sects and nine factions to explore the Forgotten Secret Realm.
Tian Nanjie crafted a pair of Heaven-grade spiritual artifacts, the Fierce Python Gauntlets, for Ming Zhitian and threw them to him as he stepped into the Forgotten Secret Realm, "Find Jie Qingxia as soon as possible. I've arranged for her to meet you inside and protect you."
Guo Qiang gave a brief reminder, "Brother Zhitian, you have one month. Remember to manage your time, and it will automatically send you out!"
—
Entering the Forgotten Secret Realm, there were cherry blossoms and verdant greenery, surrounded by forests, with occasional desolate lands. It seemed to be in different directions, making it very easy to get lost, which was the essence of "Forgotten."
The dense spiritual energy was overwhelmingly powerful. Cultivating here was at least ten times faster than in the outside world.
Ming Zhitian thought of what Tian Nanjie had said, asking Jie Qingxia to protect him? Could it be that this place was still dangerous?
Without further thought, he casually put on the Heaven-grade spiritual artifact, the Fierce Python Gauntlets. He felt that even a Dan-refining master wouldn't be a match for him now.
"Which way should I go first?..." Ming Zhitian pondered, which way would Senior Sister Jie Qingxia go?
Cherry blossoms, greenery, forests, desolate land, four directions. Ming Zhitian decided to choose the cherry blossom path.
The ground was covered in cherry blossoms, but there were no cherry trees. He didn't know where they were drifting from.
Ming Zhitian thought that most girls would like flowers, so he chose the cherry blossom path.
Suddenly, a wild beast leaped out! It didn't look like a human, a wolf, or a bear. He didn't know what species it was.
Ming Zhitian punched it! He killed it instantly. "This is too weak? Not as strong as the armored ferocious beasts I encountered during my training on Tianqiu."
But the next second, a colossal creature descended from the sky! Blocking his path.
It was a huge, colorful spider! A big spider in the cherry blossoms? Ming Zhitian was certain that these were all illusions. Whether it was the cherry blossoms and greenery, or the forests and desolate lands, they were all illusions, designed to deceive.
The spider's eight furry long legs remained still. It directly spat silk at Ming Zhitian! Attempting to entangle him.
Ming Zhitian's fists were entangled by the sticky, white, and highly resilient spider silk. Just as the spider thought it had succeeded and was about to entangle Ming Zhitian's legs.
Ming Zhitian suddenly removed the Fierce Python Gauntlets, pulled out his hands, and with a push of his legs, he flew into the air!
His cyan aura intensified! He then channeled it into his hands, and his two fists struck the spider's body in succession! Instantly, black ichor splattered everywhere, and it was immediately beaten into a paste.
