"The Secret Realm appears?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng let out a light chuckle and replied, "Then, we should head over and check it out."
Be it the appearance of a treasure or the surfacing of the Secret Realm, in his role as City Lord, it was essential for him to inspect the matter personally.
At these words, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale responded by propelling itself forward amid the azure Divine Light toward the source of the disturbance, generating an imposing presence.
The disturbance in this area was quite intense, with the Divine Light piercing the heavens, and already a number of rogue cultivators had arrived to probe what was happening.
Right at that moment, a massive burst of demon Qi erupted from the heart of the Great Dream Marsh, surging toward them in mighty torrents, causing the expressions of those cultivators to shift in alarm.
"What in the world is that!"
"It's a Demon King—a supreme-tier Demon King that's been attracted here!"
"We're finished, completely finished!"
These cultivators scrambled away in panic.After all, apart from a handful of False Core Cultivators, the majority of those who had shown up to look into it were merely at Foundation Establishment.
Facing a Third Rank Demon King in the vast expanse of the Great Dream Marsh meant certain death for them.
With so many fleeing together now, as long as they could move faster than some of the others, survival might still be possible.
"That's a Whale King, and there's a person riding on this Whale King!"
"It's the City Lord along with the City Lord's Wife!"
"Salutations to the City Lord, salutations to the City Lord's Wife!"
The subtle demon Qi radiating from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale weighed down on them even from a distance, making numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators feel burdened as if shouldering a mountain, their mana thrown into chaos, struggling to draw breath, their complexions turning pale.
Yet, upon spotting the pair—a man and a woman—standing together on the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, enveloped in swirling Chaos Qi, their features indistinct but exuding an otherworldly grace, they swiftly identified Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, and called out their greetings with fervor.
Learning that the arrivals were the Dream City Lord and his Wife, rather than some feral Demon King from the Great Dream Marsh, every cultivator there let out a collective breath of relief.
Lu Changsheng instructed the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale to ease its oppressive aura somewhat, since even that alone might squash certain Foundation Establishment Cultivators flat.
"Why does the City Lord's spiritual pet seem even more frightening than in the past? I can hardly catch my breath just from its proximity."
"Is this the same Whale King as before? It radiates even greater splendor now. I recall it had just a single horn previously, but look—now there are two, shaped like Dragon Horns!"
The gathered cultivators gazed upon the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale with a mix of astonishment and awe.
In ordinary times, they wouldn't have the opportunity to get close to a Demon King of such elite rank.
Still, several among them observed how the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had transformed since the old days.
"Hold on, what's that over there!"
"A body stretching a hundred feet—could it be... a Demon King!"
"Have the City Lord and his Wife ventured into the depths of the Great Dream Marsh to slay a Demon King?"
"I think I felt a horrifying ripple from the Great Dream Marsh's core earlier—might that have been the City Lord and his Wife taking down a Demon King?"
As the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale drew nearer to the spot where the Divine Light soared upward, observers caught sight of a massive whale, riddled with wounds, shackled in chains, and towed along behind the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
Even though this enormous whale's entire form had its demonic and malevolent aura suppressed, appearing lifeless,
Judging by its immense size alone, it was clear this was a dreadfully powerful Third Rank Demon King!
Suddenly, shock rippled through the crowd like a colossal tidal wave, as they stared up at Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian on the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale with profound respect, hardly daring to exhale.
"It truly is the Secret Realm."
In the distance, Lu Changsheng beheld a enormous swirling vortex of wind, from which the heaven-piercing Divine Light poured forth.
From within this vortex of tornadoes, he detected faint ripples of the void and an archaic presence distinct from anything in the Great Dream Marsh.
"This Secret Realm probably lies under the Dream Swamp Sea—perhaps triggered by the Spiritual Whale's tribulation and breakthrough, or maybe by my husband's clash with the Flood Dragon King that affected the Sea Eye, leading to the Secret Realm's surfacing."
Hong Lian examined the scene before them and offered her thoughts.
"Spiritual Whale, are you able to part this section of the sea?"
Lu Changsheng inquired of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
Hearing this, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale unleashed the might of a Fourth Rank Demon King, poised instantly to act.
"Hold on."
Lu Changsheng halted it at once, inwardly noting how this beast was so eager and forceful, then he turned his sharp gaze to the distant cultivators and ordered firmly, "Everyone, fall back a hundred miles."
The cultivators who heard him felt a pang of disappointment but understood that a Secret Realm like this was far beyond their grasp, so they paid their respects politely before fleeing as streams of light.
After most of those individuals had departed, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale emitted a deep bellow, sending waves of energy rippling from its pair of dragon horns, which then inverted the waters of the oncoming tornado vortex.
"This, this, this..."
The retreating cultivators witnessed the spectacle and wore faces full of terror, crying out in disbelief as if beholding a specter.
In their thoughts, what sort of heavenly techniques and might was this displaying!
They quickly understood that the City Lord had sent them away not to drive them off, but to protect their lives.
Otherwise, the sheer force of this divine ability, with its raging tsunami surge, would overwhelm them entirely.
Soon after, Lu Changsheng spotted beneath the tornado vortex a stark, barren cliff of rock rising straight up, devoid of any grass.
Sections of this cliff were crumbling away, exposing an underlying structure that gleamed like blue crystal.
Peering through the crystal, one could glimpse a hazy island aglow with luminescence.
"Once the entire rock cliff sheds completely, does that mean the Secret Realm will reveal itself?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes shone with brilliant golden radiance as he scrutinized the cliff ahead, where threads of unseen prohibitions swirled, and traces of void energy seeped from the fading seals.
These prohibitions were incredibly complex and deep, yet the ravages of time had weakened them, setting off a gradual process of their own unraveling.
"Going by this pace, the Secret Realm should open within no more than three months."
Hong Lian's lovely eyes shimmered with a crimson light as she observed the hidden prohibitions etched into the rock cliff.
