Chapter 211 -211: The Secret Realm Opens

Two Self-Observation experts had begun their research, but they found themselves at a loss for quite some time.

They were sure that the square was a formation, yet activating it was the problem.

Shi Hao also observed; Yuan Chengmie had explored formations, so he was no stranger to higher-level knowledge.

It was an advanced formation.

For the moment, Shi Hao could not determine its rank, but he could affirm that it was surely beyond the level of Self-Observation; otherwise, with the prowess of Luohan Cheng and Lu Feng, not being able to activate the formation wouldn’t have mattered, as they could have broken it forcefully using brute strength.

— When strength reaches its extreme, it can utterly destroy, regardless of whether it’s a formation or something else.

“Eh, there’s a stone here,” a pleasant voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone’s attention.

It was a young girl in a green dress, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a very ordinary appearance, holding a white stone in her hand enveloped in a misty aura.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, she exclaimed in surprise, “Eh, there’s a hole here too!”

With a snap, she inserted the stone into the hole. Boom! A loud noise echoed, followed by a buzzing sound, and then several Light Gates appeared on the square, numbering nine in total, each slowly rotating.

Portals!

This young girl had unintentionally activated the formation.

People did not find it extraordinary; it was a coincidence that the girl had stumbled upon a Spirit Stone, then stuffed it into the hub of the formation, thereby activating it.

It was luck.

But now that the formation was opened, why remain outside?

“Let’s go!”

The Lu, Ceng, and Luo families, each leading their clansmen, moved towards the Light Gates.

Since there were nine portals, and it was unclear which were meant to deceive, they divided their groups into nine, each entering one of the portals.

Those who followed also took action, entering the portals.

As for the young girl?

Too plain-looking, no one bothered about her, and besides, it was just a fluke that she activated the formation. Even without her, someone else would have discovered the formation hub, then inserted a Spirit Stone and activated the formation with ease.

Soon, there was no one left on the square.

“A bunch of ungrateful wretches,” the girl huffed.

“What did you just insert there?” Shi Hao asked since the families of Lu and Ceng had left and he had removed his cloak.

The girl sprang up terrified, her face showing fright.

Then, she turned around fiercely, saying, “You, sneaking up and talking behind others, aren’t you afraid of scaring someone to death—”

Upon seeing Shi Hao, her expression turned to one of “astonishment,” halting abruptly.

This young man was exceedingly handsome!

“What did you put in there?” Shi Hao inquired curiously.

This formation was very high-level, could a mere Spirit Stone really power it?

He didn’t believe it.

“Eh, why do you look so good-looking?” the girl countered.

Uh, it seemed no one had ever asked him such a question before.

Isn’t appearance given at birth?

Thus, Shi Hao asked again, “That wasn’t a Spirit Stone, was it?”

“Why do you look so good-looking?” the girl was equally persistent.

“Cough!” Xiao Hei couldn’t stand it anymore, seeing their mismatched conversation, how much time did they plan to waste?

“My name is Shi Hao,” Shi Hao introduced himself first.

The girl pondered for a moment, then said, “Su Manman.”

“Did you come here alone?” Shi Hao asked.

“Hey, hey, hey, are you checking up on me?” Su Manman placed her hands on her hips, “What’s it to you? Are you thinking of making a move on me?”

Shi Hao felt it strange. Why had only Su Manman among the crowd discovered this Formation node? The Lu Family had been here for quite some time, and even the Self-Observation experts who conducted the search had failed to find it, yet an ordinary girl did?

This was abnormal.

He went to find the “Spirit Stone” that activated the Formation but upon inspecting the groove, he found nothing.

Completely empty.

Even stranger.

“Who exactly are you?” Shi Hao asked.

The appearance of the secret realm indeed had its randomness—like following a landslide or an earthquake, it might present itself to the world. This time, however, it was introduced by a sudden strong light, then the secret realm appeared.

Why did the strong light suddenly appear?

Linking this with the mysterious girl only made Shi Hao feel more suspicious.

Su Manman eyed him warily from head to toe.

“Are we still going?” Xiao Hei asked.

He, just like Shi Hao, was clueless about matters of men and women; thus, no matter how ordinary or stunningly beautiful the girl was, he wouldn’t spare her a second glance.

He’d rather hold his sword.

“Alright,” Shi Hao nodded.

“Which gate?” Xiao Hei asked.

“Any.” Shi Hao replied indifferently.

“One each?”

“Okay.”

Each chose a transportation gate, while the large yellow dog followed Shi Hao, believing it was safer to follow him.

Humm, the transportation began, and the two men and one dog disappeared instantaneously.

Only then did Su Manman pat her chest, showing a relieved smile.

“How careful is this boy, even suspecting me!” Su Manman tilted her head and muttered, rubbing her face, “So uncomfortable.”

She reached out and peeled off a thin layer of skin from her face, revealing a completely transformed visage.

A beauty that could topple empires.

If Shi Hao had been there, he could have made a somewhat accurate comparison—that she might compare with Xia Mengyin, Lin Yuyue, and Luo Qing’er combined.

“This boy is quite fun, and moreover, he looks so good,” thought Su Manman. “I’ll follow and see!”

“Hmph, it’s not because he’s good-looking, I’m just curious to see what he might discover.”

“Exactly!”

…

Humm, Shi Hao stepped through the transportation gate and walked out.

He was surprised to find that the large yellow dog was nowhere in sight.

Considering they had entered the gate together, why had they become separated?

Could it be random transportation?

Then, what’s the point of having nine gates?

Shi Hao shook his head and began to survey his surroundings.

He was in a massive cave with a ceiling at least thirty feet above him, but a river of dark red lava flowed on one side, emitting a startling heat and brightening the cave.

Behind him was the cave wall. Shi Hao tried punching it but immediately winced and withdrew his hand.

So hard, even his horrific strength couldn’t make a mark.

It seems he had no choice but to move forward.

Shi Hao walked to the edge of the lava, extended his hand, and immediately, a layer of frost covered his arm. He stooped down, reaching towards the lava.

However, two feet away from the lava, the frost began to melt, hissing as it turned into droplets that fell into the lava and instantly evaporated into steam.
