Qin Ming learned more details along the way, such as the peaceful and warm atmosphere of the small secret realm, without any sense of death or killing, which is why Huo Lin did not stop the black hole when it flew past.

However, Huo Lin later discovered that he couldn't get in.

To be precise, he was rejected by some invisible rule. This not-so-gentle fire-elemental powerhouse stood before the entrance to the secret realm, his scales glowing red. He tried three times, but each time he was pushed out by a gentle yet irresistible force.

Keda, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, was stunned. "You can't get in?"

Fire Kirin didn't speak, but exhaled two puffs of white breath from its nostrils and impatiently swept its tail across the ground.

Keda observed the entrance to the Violator's Secret Realm up close, then plunged headlong into the radiant barrier.

Fire Kirin didn't even have time to extend its claws to stop him.

Keda's figure blended into the entrance of the secret realm without any hindrance, like a drop of water falling into the water.

Fire Scale: "..."

Huo Lin stared at the light screen that had returned to calm, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, the breath carrying a slightly burnt smell.

Then he turned and walked away, his four hooves treading on the air, each step leaving faint ripples of heat in the air.

As for why he later appeared in front of Qin Ming with a worried look, which startled Qin Ming, it was probably due to a subtle displeasure.

Or, to put it another way, when you're extremely annoyed, you only have one thought left: to deliberately blow up a target.

Indeed, out of curiosity and for safety reasons, Qin Ming asked Huo Lin about his specific operational plans during a break while traveling with him.

Huo Lin's reply was concise and powerful, carrying an unquestionable certainty.

After learning that it was a "targeted blast" rather than a "delicate surgical operation," Qin Ming remained silent for two seconds before fully understanding why he needed to notify the two inside.

Huo Lin means that he is very confident in his control and that his power can be precisely controlled within a very small range.

We just need to inform them in advance so that they can be mentally prepared and avoid the area when construction begins.

After the explosion, they also found the portal by following the guidance of the contract.

Although "targeted demolition" sounded quite scary, Qin Ming believed Huo Lin because he said he was confident.

He was led along by Huo Lin.

Fire Scale was moving extremely fast. The surrounding scenery turned into a blurry band of light and shadow as it moved at high speed. Qin Ming couldn't even tell whether he was moving forward or traveling through some kind of folded space.

The wind was shut out by the heatwave barrier surrounding the Fire Scale, leaving only a strange silence, with only occasional flashes of light leaving brief afterimages on the retina.

I don't know exactly how far they went.

When the scene before him became clear again, Qin Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It is truly an auspicious place.

The entrance to the secret realm was located in a tranquil valley he had never seen before. The mountains on both sides were gentle and covered with unknown light-colored vegetation with large, soft leaves that swayed gently in the breeze, like the earth breathing slowly.

In the center of the valley lies a small body of water, its surface crystal clear, reflecting the soft sunlight above.

There was no glaring sun or oppressive clouds; the light filled every inch of space just right, warm but not scorching.

What surprised Qin Ming the most was the atmosphere of this place.

It's not just a pleasant smell, but a feeling of being soothed from the depths of your soul. It's like loosening all your tense nerves one by one, peeling away layers of accumulated fatigue.

It's peaceful and natural, a feeling that allows you to let go of all worries.

He even felt that he could sit there all day, not thinking about anything, not doing anything, just staring blankly at the shimmering waves on the water.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is exceptionally rich.

Qin Ming had been practicing cultivation for some time now. The dormitory area had a special spirit-gathering array, and the concentration of spiritual energy was already quite considerable. However, the natural environment here was comparable to the effect of multiple arrays stacked in his dormitory area.

Each breath felt like inhaling a small ball of pure energy. The spiritual energy flowed smoothly and gently through the meridians, without the sluggish feeling that required effort to guide during normal cultivation.

The spirit beast's senses are indeed sharp.

The fact that they can find such naturally formed treasures hidden in unknown corners speaks volumes about their intuition for rare and precious materials.

Qin Ming was simply enjoying this rare tranquility in his mind when he suddenly felt the golden bead in his mind move.

The golden bead was something he had acquired long ago, a gift from heaven and earth, and it had never harmed him. On the contrary, at several crucial moments, the golden bead had provided subtle guidance, like a silent and reliable companion.

At this moment, the golden bead trembled slightly deep within his consciousness, and rings of golden light rippled out from its surface, growing brighter and brighter, as if awakened by something in this place.

The light radiated outward from the depths of his consciousness, and Qin Ming could clearly feel it as if it were about to burst through his body.

Qin Ming looked down at the back of his hand, where golden patterns were faintly visible. They didn't seem like deliberate runes, but rather like some kind of naturally growing veins, subtly echoing the aura of this valley and the entrance to the secret realm before him.

Qin Ming thought about the origin of the golden pearl, and decided to relax and let nature take its course instead of resisting.

The next second, the light emanating from his body suddenly intensified, creating a mysterious connection with the entrance to the secret realm that Huo Lin could not enter.

A flash of light.

Qin Ming disappeared.

The situation was so sudden and so fast that Huo Lin didn't have time to react.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively stretched out his front paws, only to catch a wisp of fading golden light. The entrance to the secret realm returned to normal, the light curtain flowing, as quiet as if nothing had happened.

Huo Lin remained silent for a long time.

His nostrils flared violently, exhaling several wisps of hot breath, and his chest heaved noticeably.

Then his tail lashed out, whipping through the air with a piercing sonic boom that startled the surrounding light-colored vegetation, causing it to bend over in unison.

The first one to go in was the little butterfly.

The second bird to enter was a phoenix.

The third person to go in was a human he had personally brought with him.

He watched helplessly as three guys entered the secret realm, one after another.

And he, Huo Lin, a powerful overlord, was left out in the cold.

Now that the only person he could contact has gone in, what else can he do?

The targeted demolition plan fell through halfway. Huo Lin slowly lay down, resting his chin on his front paws, his eyes fixed on the entrance to the secret realm, where the flames flickered.

He wasn't planning on leaving; he was going to wait there.

……

Qin Ming felt a flash of light before his eyes, and the sensation under his feet changed from the soft grass of the valley to a denser texture.

"Have I... gotten in?"

He steadied himself, looked around, and scratched his head.

The interior of the secret realm is even more breathtaking than the exterior. Above, something that appears to be either clouds or light floats slowly, casting ever-changing, soft shadows.

The ground was covered with a layer of fine, downy grass, which felt like walking on a thick carpet. Scattered among the grass blades were tiny flowers that emitted a faint glow, which looked very pretty.

In the distance, low hills rise and fall, and some strangely shaped trees can be vaguely seen, their branches and leaves outstretched as if welcoming guests.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the air was a level higher than outside, and Qin Ming felt every pore of his body relaxing.

However, he didn't have the time to appreciate it for long.

The incident happened so suddenly, I imagine Huo Lin outside must be in a state of shock.

In addition, although it is said that there is no murderous aura here, it is still a completely unfamiliar environment, so it is always better to be cautious.

Qin Ming suppressed his appreciation for the beautiful scenery and called out.

"Cangxuan, help me see the way."

A wisp of white light mist condensed and took shape beside him, revealing Cang Xuan's figure.

The white wolf's fur was as smooth as satin, shimmering with a silvery light in the soft glow of the secret realm, and its eyes were calm and deep.

Cang Xuan nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and extended his senses in all directions.

With Cang Xuan by his side, Qin Ming felt much more at ease.

Cang Xuan quickly determined the direction and stepped forward, his steps steady and silent.

Qin Ming followed beside him, looking around at the surroundings as they walked.

Everything in the secret realm exudes an unadorned natural beauty, a harmony created by the hand of heaven and earth, yet perfectly balanced.

Occasionally, the chirping of birds would come from somewhere, clear and melodious, as if from a very, very far place, or as if whispering in one's ear.

Not long after they started walking, perhaps the secret realm sensed the aura emanating from Cang Xuan, or perhaps Cang Xuan was indeed skilled at leading the way, the scenery ahead changed slightly, the outline of the hills became clearer, and two familiar figures were flying towards them from not far away.

The blue phoenix with a black veil on its head, its wings fluttering, was none other than Keda and the Black Hole.

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, none of them were missing, and they all looked quite energetic.

Upon closer inspection, the black hole's eye gleamed with a bright light, and its words were full of pride and boasting.

"Boss, this is a treasure Butterfly found, a highly nourishing item!"

Qin Ming smiled and didn't rush to take it. Instead, he reached out and rubbed Keda's head, then stroked the black hole beside him.

"You guys," he said with a smile, but also a hint of helplessness, "the fire horns outside are about to explode. You need to think carefully about how you're going to explain this when you get out!"

"Huh!"

The butterfly wings of the black hole stiffened, and its eyes darted away.
