"In the Secret Realm, there are living creatures!"

"What!"

Li Xiaoyao's words greatly shocked everyone present.

They had come here several times and had not discovered any useful information.

The Secret Realm was in a completely sealed state, even Li Chengfeng, who had reached the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm, had fallen here, and up to now, no one had received any useful messages from this place.

And now, Li Xiaoyao suddenly told them that there were living creatures in the Secret Realm.

"How did you come to know this?"

"Is this news accurate?"

The three Elders of the Nangong Family asked, somewhat impatiently.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Just now, when I smashed the Black Dragon into the depths of the sea and he was rendered unconscious, as I was about to kill him, a force from the direction of the Secret Realm dragged his massive body away. If it weren't for my sword that had pinned the Black Dragon, he would have already been swallowed by the Secret Realm by now."

"Is there really such a thing?"

"Unbelievable."

"One wonders what exactly is hidden inside this Secret Realm?"

The several Elders quietly marveled, greatly surprised by Li Xiaoyao's discovery.

However, Li Xiaoyao suddenly looked excited and said, "If this power truly exists, my father could very well still be alive."

"You mean…" Li Yunchen's eyebrows slowly knitted together as he pondered for a few seconds and said, "Chengfeng and the others, were they also absorbed by this power into the Secret Realm?"

Li Xiaoyao nodded, "It's highly likely."

Li Yunchen turned around, facing the sea ahead. Not far off was the maritime area of the Secret Realm.

"Only, the risk is too great," Li Yunchen sighed.

The Li Family's top strength was all on this fishing boat at the moment. If they were not careful and an accident occurred in the Secret Realm, what then?

"Great Elder, you don't have to enter the Secret Realm. Considering the situation when my father and the others entered the Secret Realm, once someone steps into the realm's range, it will trigger a wide-ranging natural disaster," Li Xiaoyao said. "Therefore, I should do this alone."

Li Xiaoyao had already given up searching the surrounding seas for Li Chengfeng; he had searched the area around the sea, covering all detectable ranges with his thoughts. Not to mention Li Chengfeng's body, he hadn't even seen a single living fish.

Now the only remaining possibility for Li Chengfeng was that he had been swallowed by the Secret Realm.

Time was life, Li Xiaoyao could not afford to waste any more; he needed to enter the Secret Realm as soon as possible.

As for the dangers of the Secret Realm, Li Xiaoyao could no longer care about that.

"I can't let you go in there alone," Li Yunchen immediately objected. "No one knows what exactly is inside the Secret Realm, nor does anyone know what actually happened to Chengfeng and the others that day. It's still too early to jump to conclusions."

"I can't wait any longer," Li Xiaoyao said urgently. "Delaying even one day means one more day of unexpected changes."

Li Chaotian, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up, "Xiaoyao, don't rush. Entering the Secret Realm now is not appropriate."

"Whether it's appropriate or not, I have to go," Li Xiaoyao said, his mind made up. He had to enter the Secret Realm today.

"You'll leave with them later; I'm going into the Secret Realm," Li Xiaoyao said softly as he looked towards the maritime area of the Secret Realm, which was getting closer and closer.

Nangong Ling'er stood by, her hands tightly clenched together, and within her eyes that looked at Li Xiaoyao, there was a deep worry.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, probably because of Li Xiaoyao's unchangeable decision, as well as the upcoming maritime area of the Secret Realm.

The fishing boat slowly approached the area, and all the Sects stopped.

The ancient sect forces that came here for the first time stood at the bow of the ship, looking ahead. Some closed their eyes tightly, intently sensing, trying to detect the conditions of the secret realm's sea area.

"This sea area is indeed very peculiar," an elder from the ancient sect said softly with a frown, standing at the bow.

"It is said that as long as one does not step into the range of the secret realm's sea area, no incidents would occur."

"If we do not enter, should we just keep hovering outside the secret realm?"

"Look, what's that over there?"

In the not-too-distant sea, a series of white waves surged rapidly towards them, and, through his senses, Li Xiaoyao discovered that these waves were actually demon beasts.

"They must have been attracted by the secret realm," Li Yunchen speculated.

"Let's see what these demon beasts are up to."

All the forces stopped what they were doing, staring unblinkingly at the demon beasts rapidly heading towards the secret realm, curious about what they intended to do.

This group of demon beasts had at least dozens of individuals, coming from all directions. Their goal was the same: the secret realm.

As they nearly reached the secret realm, their speed started to decrease until they came to a stop.

Contrary to what everyone thought, they didn't just rush into the secret realm, nor did they cross the boundary between the sea area of the secret realm and the ordinary sea area.

They circled around the sea area of the secret realm, slowly wandering, seemingly eager to plunge in, but their instincts told them that the waters ahead, though alluring, were also filled with danger.

Between heaven and earth, there was only the sound of everyone's breathing, which rose and fell in a steady rhythm. Apart from that, there was the sound of the demon beasts gently gliding through the water.

This somewhat oppressive atmosphere lasted for about ten minutes until finally, one demon beast could not resist the temptation of the secret realm's sea area. Its eyes turned red, and it swiftly slid towards the sea area.

"Whoosh!"

A vigor shot out from a certain fishing boat, piercing the brow of the demon beast.

Devoid of life, the beast lay cold on the surface of the water, and blood flowed out from its body, staining a large area of the sea red.

The cultivator who had acted stepped forward, standing proudly at the bow, and warned the demon beasts that were suddenly shocked, "Whoever dares to set foot in the secret realm, dies!"

Once any creature enters the secret realm, it could provoke disasters, and they certainly did not want to trigger a string of calamities because of a single demon beast's sudden intrusion.

Although there were still some demon beasts that seemed ready to move, upon hearing those words, they suppressed their desire to enter the secret realm due to the threat of death.

No one noticed that the dead demon beast was slowly drifting toward the sea area of the secret realm.

Slowly, just like that, it approached closer.

"Is it raining?" Suddenly someone said such a thing, and all looked up at the sky, indeed noticing the pitter-patter of rain falling from the heavens.

"Why is it raining?"

"Boom!"

The dark clouds appeared without any warning, catching everyone off guard.

Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized something and immediately turned his head to look at the slain demon beast, and when he saw the beast's body had disappeared from its original location on the water, his pupils shrank drastically.

He looked up quickly towards the secret realm's sea area, indeed seeing a long, red line formed by blood on the sea's surface, flowing into the secret realm's sea area, while the slain demon beast had long vanished.

Li Xiaoyao knew that the killed demon beast must have been pulled into the secret realm by that mysterious force.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder filled the heavens and earth, a force of destruction with immense oppression slowly spread, and Li Xiaoyao turned and shouted loudly, "Turn around, back to the island!"
