40: The Cai and Bai families are confused! Return with the secret realm!

Lin Xuan knew that refining would take a significant amount of time, so before descending, he placed a Grand Saint-level illusion formation and a Grand Saint-level defensive formation at the entrance.

This was to prevent being discovered by people or demonic beasts midway, thus disturbing his refining process.

While Lin Xuan was refining, the Secret Realm remained incredibly lively.

...

The main forces of the three families were locked in fierce competition over the resource islands.

In the Face of absolute profit, the alliance between the Cai Family and the Bai Family appeared pale and powerless, instantly crumbling.

Conflicts were commonplace in the struggle for the resource islands at the border between the two families' allocated areas.

However, both sides, out of consideration for the high-level members of their families, did not resort to killing, merely driving the others away.

Yet, this also showed that the relationship between the two families was merely superficial; they could part ways at any moment if the profit was sufficient.

In fact, if it weren't for the Lin Family being a common enemy, the two families might not even have been able to sit down and talk peacefully.

And if the situation between the two families was like this, the situation between them and the Lin Family was even more intense, with a not insignificant number of casualties on both sides due to theScramble resource islands.

However, the Lin Family members had significantly improved their strength after a month. This was not only an increase in cultivation but also an improvement in combat prowess.

Inside the Creation Tower, with the boost to comprehension, everyone's Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, and divine abilities had improved to a certain extent, greatly enhancing their combat strength.

Therefore, when competing for resource islands with members of the other two families, they fought with exceptional bravery.

Although the opponents' Realms were similar to theirs, their combat strength was incomparable to the members of the other two families.

However, because the Lin Family had to contend with both the Cai and Bai families simultaneously, their casualties were no less than the other two families.

On a resource island, a major battle had just ended, and the Lin Family members were clearing the battlefield.

"Young Master Lin Haoran, the battlefield has been dealt with. In this battle, we killed 4 Bai Family Cultivators, severely injured 9, and 20 escaped."

A Lin Family member reported.

The leader of the more than twenty Lin Family members here was none other than Lin Haoran, who had rushed all the way and finally successfully met up with the main force of the Lin Family an hour ago.

Since obtaining the greatest Opportunity in that Secret Realm and the human emperor banner, he had been searching for suitable demonic beasts and members of the Cai and Bai families to contribute to his great cultivation endeavor.

This was their honor!

However, he only wanted demonic beasts above the Cave Heaven Realm; he found those below the Cave Heaven Realm too weak.

Because he discovered that those below the Cave Heaven Realm provided him with very little improvement, and the higher the Realm, the stronger the Soul Slaves refined.

So he simply gave up on those low-level demonic beasts and specifically sought out and refined demonic beasts above the Cave Heaven Realm.

And through his efforts, he had now successfully broken through to the first layer of the Law Manifestation Realm, progressing incredibly fast.

One must know that before entering the Secret Realm, he had only just broken through to the ninth layer of the Cave Heaven Realm a few days prior, and now, after only one or two days in the Secret Realm, he had broken through again, and it was a major Realm Breakthrough...

With this cultivation speed, besides Lin Xuan, who had a cheat, who could compare?

...

"What are the Lin Family's casualties?"

Lin Haoran asked the Lin Family member.

"In this battle, one Lin Family member died, 5 were severely injured, and the rest had at most minor injuries with no major issues."

"Okay... Leave two people to take care of the severely injured Lin Family members later. The other Lin Family members will follow me to the next resource island after a short recovery."

Lin Haoran ordered.

"Yes, Young Master Lin Haoran!"

...

In a building on the central large island.

Fourteenth Elder and Fifteenth Elder were quickly examining the Jade Slips here...

"Old Fifteen, it seems we're lucky. This is actually a scripture storage pavilion!"

Fourteenth Elder said excitedly.

Hearing this, Fifteenth Elder nodded, but his expression held some regret.

"It's just a pity there are no Cultivation Techniques or divine abilities above the Quasi-Emperor level..."

"Alright, be content. Two Saint Emperor-level Cultivation Techniques are good enough."

Fourteenth Elder couldn't help but laugh and scold.

A minute later, the two of them collected all the Jade Slips here and prepared to leave.

"Which way do we go next?"

Fifteenth Elder looked at Fourteenth Elder and asked.

"...Let's head north this time."

"Alright!"

...

Meanwhile, at the spiritual medicine garden, a chaotic battle was unfolding!

Three people and two Mighty Apes, unleashing their full power, constantly throwing various Martial Skills and divine abilities at each other, each move deadly.

All three sides wanted to kill the other two, so the fighting was extremely chaotic.

For example, the two Mighty Apes might have been battling Cai Niao and Bai Yin one moment, and the next they would attack Lin Tianyu. And after Lin Tianyu counterattacked, he might be fighting Bai Yin again the next moment...

It could be said to be a truly great "chaotic" battle, too messy!

Tian Du, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but feel a bit dizzy, completely unable to predict what would happen next.

Boss, this isn't my fault. This... I really don't know how to cheer for you...

This chaotic battle continued for another half an hour, when suddenly at a certain moment...

The Secret Realm suddenly shook, and the next second, everyone felt a dizzying sensation. When they regained their senses, they found themselves outside, at the location of the Secret Realm entrance from before.

But at this moment, where was there any Secret Realm entrance?

"This... What's going on? Weren't we fighting for resource islands? How did we suddenly appear outside?"

"Damn it, I was just about to get a sacred medicine! Why did you kick me out?"

"Out? Holy crap! I was just about to kill that bastard Cai Xiao. If you're going to come out, at least come out a little later!"

"You..."

...

Everyone was completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events, and they instantly started discussing it, some even cursing.

And the "culprit" of all this, our handsome Young Master Lin, was secretly chuckling in his heart at this moment, but on the surface, he appeared completely bewildered, showing no hint of a flaw.

If this were his previous life, wouldn't he be a damn Oscar-winning actor!

Just a few dozen seconds ago, he had successfully refined the core of that Secret Realm.

After refining it, he gained complete control over the entire Secret Realm, naturally including the ability to expel anything inside.

Then he expelled all the living members of the three families who were still inside, including himself.

This was his Lin Family's Secret Realm; letting the members of the Cai and Bai families stay for even a second longer was a loss for his Lin Family, how could that be allowed!

So he didn't hesitate at all and immediately brought everyone out.

As for bringing out the Lin Family members without a word, it was to prevent the Cai and Bai families from knowing that it was his Lin Family, that it was Lin Xuan, who did it.

After all, quietly making a fortune is the way to go!

Not only did he gain the Secret Realm, but he also got to upset the Cai and Bai families, and he could also witness this amusing scene. It was simply killing three birds with one stone!

Lin Tianyu and the other two, who were originally in the middle of a fierce battle, were suddenly teleported out. Even with their temperament, they couldn't help but lose their composure a little.

But they quickly adjusted.

The first thing the three of them suspected was that the other Family had done it, but they scanned the surroundings and found that everyone's Faces were full of surprise and bewilderment.

It wasn't the Lin Family/Cai Family/Bai Family who did it?

Then it was strange, why would such a situation occur?

They had never heard of a Secret Realm where this kind of situation had happened before...

The three of them had the same thought.

In the end, the three of them racked their brains but still couldn't figure out why such a situation had occurred. They could only attribute it to one sentence: In the cultivation world, there is nothing that cannot happen, and they had truly witnessed it...

Finally, the three families could only return to their respective families with full of doubts and unwillingness...

Of course, except for Lin Xuan!
