Chapter 329 -326: This Secret Realm, Easily Within Reach

Tang Yu didn’t know, and the diary’s owner knew even less.

“July 1, the Secret Realm gate still hasn’t opened, and we don’t know how much time has passed outside. We have started to wait, maybe next year, or perhaps just tomorrow, the gate will open.”

“Fortunately, before entering the Secret Realm, we prepared lots of food preserved with special methods. It hasn’t expired, so we don’t need to worry about survival… It’s a pity, though, that the Secret Realm is just an enclosed space that cannot generate Source Energy, so we cannot cultivate or conduct complex research.”

“September 13, the Secret Realm gate still hasn’t opened; there are only five of us here, which is incredibly boring. I somewhat regret not bringing some women with us into the Secret Realm… but that’s not realistic. By the time I wake up, either they would have all died, or I could only meet their great-great-great… great-grandchildren, assuming we had enough food to support that many people.”

“September 25, I noticed that Da Na frequently visits Merlin and Locke’s Mage Tower, staying for days on end; this sly fox! She says it’s for scholarly exchange, but why not choose me? Is it just because I’m a bit bald? Doesn’t she know that baldness represents wisdom, and knowledge is the true charm of a Mage!”

“October 3, continuing my research, even if I cannot perform experiments, I can still perfect my theories. I must prove that I am the most knowledgeable!”

“October 5, Merlin actually asked me to play cards. Has Da Na dumped him? That makes sense, Locke is built like a gorilla, it’s a mystery how he became a Great Mage.”

“October 6, we continued to play cards. This card game named ‘Mage Legend’ is really interesting; why didn’t I notice it before?”

“October 7, playing cards.”

“October 8, playing cards.”

“October 9… Ryan, oh Ryan, have you forgotten your research? Have you forgotten what the Chief Mage once said, that to advance one must reflect on oneself multiple times a day? You can’t continue like this!”

“October 10.”

“Playing cards.”

“October 11.”

“Playing cards.”

“October 12, I resolved to quit ‘Mage Legend’. I’m not just talking flippantly—today, I’ve already turned Merlin away at the door. From now on, I swear; I must focus on research, even if it means dying in the lab, dying in obscurity; I refuse to play cards again!”

“October 15, I’ve persisted for three days. Today someone else asked me to play cards. Am I that easily corrupted? I am not! Merlin, I’m not going to play cards with you anymore… wait, seems it was Da Na.”

“Mage Legend is really fun!”

Tang Yu was exasperated.

He had used up so many Reconnaissance Crystals to translate this page—what for?

Just to see the antics of this jester of a Mage named Ryan?!

Absolutely frustrating!

Tang Yu quickly flipped through the pages. Having seen so much, he had picked up a few simple words; ‘playing cards’ was one he was extremely familiar with. Every time he opened a new page and saw those words, he would skip right past without a second thought.

He definitely was not going to waste Reconnaissance Crystals on playing cards anymore!

Finally,

the diary started to near its end, and the timeline began to jump more quickly.

Twenty years later…

Tang Yu read in the diary that they could barely wait any longer. Among the five of them, the older Mage, Merlin, as well as another, were nearing the ends of their lives.

After discussing, they decided to take control of the central mechanism of the Secret Realm and forcibly open the passage.

What happened next, Tang Yu didn’t need to read to know.

Indeed, their attempt failed. Although the entrance to the Secret Realm was opened, what appeared was not Origin Star but a void space.

Black cracks in space appeared from the dome, with the Annihilation Wind sweeping across…

Tang Yu finally understood why the buildings in the town were damaged and disappearing.

…

…

In the wilderness, a team of over a hundred people was rapidly advancing.

“Are we almost there?”

A young man in the center of the team frowned. He was wearing a brown combat uniform made from advanced demonized beast fur, incorporating the latest technology from Jing City, looking quite imposing.

Upon closer inspection, although the team was moving fast, they still maintained a perfect formation. The awakeners on the outermost edge held shields, the next circle gripped long spears, and those inside were equipped with modern firearms and possessed extraordinary abilities.

This team was very organized!

“We’re close, Young Master Li Ting. It should be just another dozen kilometers.”

“That’s good. The vehicles are all broken. Taking a trip is really inconvenient. I hope my uncle can manage to get us a source energy chariot from the science department.” The young man frowned, turning his head, “I heard the secret realm wasn’t first discovered by our people? Did the location leak?”

“Rest assured, the secret realm was discovered this morning by a small team at Transfer Station No. 5. After we received the news, we sent people to monitor them closely. Anyone that team had contact with has been silently taken care of; there’s absolutely no mistake.”

“Hmm.” The young man lifted his chin, sweeping his gaze around, “Everyone here is devoted to your duties. My Li Family will not treat you badly. The benefits of mastering a secret realm are well known to you all. The Ancestor Dragon managed to increase their breakthrough rate from the Fifth Tier to the Sixth Layer significantly by controlling a secret realm, becoming strong among their peers… If our Li Family can control the secret realm, you will also have the chance to enter it someday.”

The others glittered with motivation, their spirits greatly boosted.

Secret Realm.

It was a very mysterious term.

It was said that many special items and cultivation techniques nowadays were passed down from secret realms.

Whoever controlled the secret realm could lead the waves of the era.

Even the Li Family, who didn’t own a secret realm, merely co-controlled one with several major forces in Jing City. Still, the benefits the Li Family had gained were immense…

Thinking about that secret realm heated the young man’s heart.

He had cultivated within the secret realm where his progress was several times faster than in the outside world. Even the powerful rune battle blade in his hand, which far surpassed the finest weapons Jing City could produce, came from that realm.

Now, a secret realm was within easy reach!

“Young Master, just over the ridge ahead and we’ll be there,” an awakener wearing high-quality gear, who had run from the front of the team, reported. “I had split from the captain and the others over there earlier. I believe they’ve already secured the entrance to the secret realm, just waiting for your arrival.”

Li Ting nodded with satisfaction.

He thought that these people had indeed not wasted the resources provided by the family. They were competent and could potentially be promoted to be his close aides.

They leaped and sprinted up the not-so-tall hill.

Standing there, the wilderness around was completely visible, and the secret realm was immediately discovered.

It appeared like a mirror, revealing the distinctively styled building inside, surrounded by swirling clouds, quite magnificent.

Li Ting’s gaze moved downward…

Suddenly,

He froze.

In front of the secret realm, there stood only a single cloaked figure, whose face couldn’t be discerned.

Where was the team that had secured the secret realm’s entrance?!
