Chapter 1690: Chapter 639: Secret Realm Inheritance
But this time, after two hundred years, returning to the Doran Prairie, he was quickly locked onto and tracked, making him reluctantly believe this point.
Because if it wasn’t for power beyond this realm’s imagination intervening, it’s hard to explain why the Great Mage of the Spirit Wind Tribe could discover him so quickly.
They couldn’t be casting spells every day for two hundred years for investigations!
"Keeping this item on me might not be suitable. Once we get to Tianyuan Immortal City, I’ll see if anyone is willing to purchase it!"
Zhou Chun studied the cyan Flying Eagle statue in his hand for a while, deciding not to keep such a dangerous item to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, most of the other spoils he acquired also needed to be disposed of, including that Quasi-Sacred Instrument.
Once these items are handled, he should have a considerable income again.
After hiding underground for nearly half a month, Zhou Chun finally emerged and returned to Tianyuan Immortal City.
On the other side, after separating from Zhou Chun, Zhou Zhiying embarked alone on her journey to Secret Realm Island.
With a map in hand, and under the cover of the Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk, a unique Demon Beast of the Doran Prairie, she didn’t encounter any danger.
After half a month, she successfully arrived at the lakeside of Muli Lake on the prairie.
Upon reaching the lake, she first stored the Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk into a Spirit Beast Pouch, then raised her hand and tapped another pouch at her waist to release Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai.
"Uncle Bai, I’m relying on you to take Ying’er to that Secret Realm next."
By the lakeside of Muli Lake, Zhou Zhiying respectfully saluted Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai and voiced her request.
Although the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai couldn’t speak human words like the Golden Winged Tiger, communicating with Zhou Zhiying wasn’t a problem.
It nodded to her, then carried her swiftly, diving into the lake’s depths and swimming rapidly toward the location of Secret Realm Island.
After swimming underwater for half a day, Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai brought Zhou Zhiying to the area covered by the Grand Reversal of Grand Universe Array.
"It’s here, right? Uncle Bai, you and Uncle Mu Sang wait outside for me until I’ve completed the task my master assigned, then I’ll come out to return with you!"
Zhou Zhiying, recognizing the familiar surroundings and seeing Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai had stopped, quickly understood and nodded to Baibai about her plan.
She then removed the Spirit Beast Pouch containing Wood Charm Mu Sang from her waist and handed it to Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, while she herself held the Jade Talisman and proceeded towards the array.
In fact, Zhou Chun had hesitated about whether Zhou Zhiying should bring her Spirit Pet into Secret Realm Island.
After careful consideration, he finally decided against it.
The reason was simple; he feared that if Zhou Zhiying failed the trial and got trapped inside Secret Realm Island, his Spirit Pet might also be unable to escape!
This doesn’t mean he thought his Spirit Pet was more important than his disciple; rather, he didn’t want to put all eggs in one basket.
Moreover, if Zhou Zhiying really gets trapped inside, as long as she doesn’t die, she still has a chance to achieve Core Formation inside, and perhaps find a way to escape later.
But whether a Fourth Order Magical Beast could come out after entering, no one knew.
Therefore, not having Zhou Zhiying bring a Fourth Order Magical Beast inside was more prudent.
Upon witnessing Zhou Zhiying disappear into the water, Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai quickly hid the Spirit Beast Pouch containing Wood Charm Mu Sang beneath the lake’s muddy bottom.
After Zhou Zhiying used the Jade Talisman and appeared on the green stone platform within Secret Realm Island, she merely glanced around and proceeded directly toward the road leading to the Main Hall.
Following the road for a distance, she saw a pale cyan Crystal Pillar about ten feet high ahead, with a misty array fog behind it.
As per Zhou Chun’s guidance, she quickly approached the Crystal Pillar, placed her hand on it, and infused it with her own Mana.
As her pure Wind Attribute Mana flowed into it, the Crystal Pillar immediately emitted a faint blue spiritual light.
This blue light enveloped Zhou Zhiying, and promptly triggered something set in place, causing the entire Crystal Pillar to suddenly burst with abundant blue light, engulfing Zhou Zhiying.
In the midst of the blue glow, Zhou Zhiying felt her body abruptly lose control, lifted by a burst of blue wind, instantly carried into the formation mist.
Soon, she appeared in front of the grand and majestic palace gates.
Raising her eyes towards the door, she saw three gilded characters written prominently on the lintel: "Wind Origin Palace."
"So this is the Main Hall of the cave mansion here?"
Zhou Zhiying released her Divine Sense for a scan, but no Array Prohibition was apparent ahead.
She hesitated briefly, then stepped onto the stairs leading to the palace doors.
Everything seemed normal. After she walked up ten or so steps, she arrived at the doors and reached out to grip the handle, attempting to pull the door open.
Yet, no matter her effort, the door stayed immobile.
Seeing this, she pondered for a moment, then infused Mana into the handle.
Unexpectedly, this attempt succeeded.
After infusing Mana, she soon managed to pull open a gap in the door just enough for a person to pass through.
