Unexpected secrets

At the same time.

In the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, Zhong Qing led Medicine Red Dust as they stepped out of the Remnant Immortal Grand Formation.

Behind them, Medicine Red Dust was already dumbfounded.

Her dazed, pretty face had stiffened.

The Remnant Immortal Grand Formation, which had prevented her, a dignified Empress, from even moving her toes, was broken just like that?

No.

It couldn't even be called broken.

It was more like it was ignored.

Feng Aotian, who was behind them, had already become immune, and his expression seemed perfectly normal.

Just then.

The scene before them rolled up like fragments, dissolving into pieces and disappearing, the style changing dramatically, replaced by another scene.

A gentle breeze blew past, refreshing the heart.

What met their eyes was an endless plain. At the end of the horizon, cattle and sheep seemed to be running.

Among the flower clusters nearby, two or three butterflies danced.

Medicine Red Dust looked at the dramatically changed scene before her, finding it hard to believe, unable to imagine that this was still within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.

Beneath their feet, there was also a small stone path.

It led to who knew where.

Zhong Qing pondered for a moment, then took the first step forward.

Seeing this, Medicine Red Dust subconsciously wanted to stop him to prevent any danger, but the words died in her throat halfway through.

She then remembered that the Remnant Immortal Grand Formation earlier hadn't he walked through it just as effortlessly?

As time slowly passed.

The three of them didn't know how far they had walked, encountering no trouble along the way, to the point that even Zhong Qing wondered if they were still in the secret realm.

Because everything presented before him was quite different from what he had expected.

It was too peaceful and serene.

It was like a paradise hidden from the world.

"Master, look ahead."

Just then, Feng Aotian saw something and pointed at the path ahead, shouting.

Zhong Qing looked up.

Indeed, not far ahead, a stone tablet stood erect, with characters seemingly carved upon it.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Zhong Qing walked forward with his hands behind his back, and the three quickly arrived before the stone tablet.

The stone tablet was entirely white, like milky jade, made of an unknown material.

The characters on it were written in a flamboyant, powerful style, not like carvings, but more like they were floating on the surface, shrouded in a faint, misty haze.

At the same time, they could see that beyond the stone tablet, there was no longer a path.

"Immortal methods are truly extraordinary."

Just the calligraphy alone made Zhong Qing unable to help but praise it.

But the next moment.

He froze in place, as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind.

Even with his cultivation, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, fearing that he had misread or was hallucinating.

Beside him, Feng Aotian's voice came.

"The vast expanse of the horizon is my love, the flowers beneath the rolling green mountains are blooming. This should be a riddle given to us by the owner of the secret realm, and perhaps only by solving it can we reach the secret realm."

"You saw the same thing?"

Zhong Qing turned his head, looking at Feng Aotian.

"This, isn't it like this?" Feng Aotian looked at his master, bewildered.

Zhong Qing then turned his head to look at Medicine Red Dust.

Medicine Red Dust nodded.

Receiving confirmation from both of them, Zhong Qing took a deep breath, which meant that the characters on the stone tablet before him were not an illusion.

"Is this really an immortal secret realm?" Zhong Qing asked again.

"Of course it's an immortal secret realm, Master, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?" Feng Aotian noticed Zhong Qing's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Alright?

He was very much not alright.

He had never expected to see these two lines of lyrics on this stone tablet.

Was this a coincidence, or was it truly as he imagined?

If it was the latter, it was too unbelievable.

Just then, the characters on the stone tablet shimmered, and after the original two lines, two more lines appeared.

"Complete the last two lines, and you may enter the secret realm."

Upon seeing this, Zhong Qing was instantly dumbfounded.

He raised his hand to complete the last two lines, but his raised hand paused just as it reached the stone tablet.

"How did it go…"

"The vast expanse of the horizon is my love, the flowers beneath the rolling green mountains are blooming, what kind of rhythm is the most, oh, the most swaying, what kind of song is the most joyful…"

To the side.

Feng Aotian and Medicine Red Dust widened their eyes, looking at Zhong Qing like curious babies, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, why are you singing?"

However, Zhong Qing had no mind to pay attention to what they were thinking.

"Right, it's what kind of rhythm is the most, oh, the most swaying, what kind of song is the most joyful…"

After confirming the lines aloud, he raised his hand and placed it on the stone tablet, leaving the last two lines.

After Zhong Qing left the last two lines, the stone tablet before them quickly changed.

Like dust, it visibly dissipated.

At the same time, the previously ended path reconnected and extended into the distance.

"This, this is solved?"

"The answer to this riddle, isn't it too perfunctory?"

"But Master is truly amazing."

Feng Aotian couldn't help but complain, while also not forgetting to praise his master.

Although Medicine Red Dust beside him also felt that the answer was indeed a bit perfunctory, and she didn't even understand what connection the first two lines had with Zhong Qing's last two lines.

But what shocked her even more was Zhong Qing's speed in breaking through the trials.

From the moment they entered the secret realm, he had broken through three trials, just like playing a game.

It truly overturned her understanding again and again.

Her beautiful eyes flickered.

Perhaps.

Becoming his follower wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

It was more like, a great opportunity!

But Zhong Qing at this moment had no time to bother with what the two of them were thinking; with the answer revealed, it proved that everything appearing before him was not an illusion, nor a coincidence.

So he urgently wanted to know what awaited him at the end of this path.

He quickly walked forward.

The two behind him quickly followed.

Finally, after a short quarter of an hour, a cliff appeared ahead, covered in lush green bamboo, and beneath the cliff, a small courtyard was nestled.

At this moment, the courtyard gate was open.

It seemed to be waiting for him.

"Master, still be careful." Feng Aotian subconsciously reminded him.

Zhong Qing nodded.

Of course, he wouldn't neglect the necessary vigilance.

But just then, a voice like a spring breeze came from within the courtyard.

"Friends from afar have come, please come in for a chat."

"You two wait here, I'll go in and take a look first." After a slight pause, Zhong Qing instructed the two, then no longer hesitated and stepped towards the courtyard.

As he walked into the courtyard, everything inside began to come into his view.

Beside a stone table in the courtyard, a White-Robed Youth was seated.

The Youth's depth was unfathomable; sitting there, he had no aura of cultivation, just like an ordinary mortal, yet his expression was gentle, like a spring breeze, and merely a glance made one instinctively feel good about him.

And beside the Youth, there was also a short Black-Robed Person, lying on a lounge chair with his legs crossed.

By the lounge chair, a dog with its tongue out was fawningly massaging the Black-Robed Person's leg.

And on the dog's head, there was actually a centipede crawling, speaking human words and looking for girls.

Such a bizarre scene made Zhong Qing endlessly curious.

"No need to mind them, sit."

At this moment, the White-Robed Youth at the stone table turned his head, smiled gently, and gestured for Zhong Qing to sit.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Zhong Qing nodded and sat down opposite the White-Robed Youth.

"I know you have many questions, but don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions towards you."

The White-Robed Youth took out a wine pot and filled a cup for Zhong Qing.

Then he smiled leisurely and said: "Let me introduce myself first, I am Yi Feng, a person from the Blue Star who traveled to this world a million years ago!"
