Zhang Xuan, having awakened his Immortal Realm, sat cross-legged atop the island reef, frowning as he pondered for quite some time.
"Looks like This Seat's estimate was correct. The truth really is hidden within that Secret Realm world."
"An Immortal Realm... I wonder what rank the Backstage Manipulator's Immortal Realm is."
He shook his head, calming himself before rising to his feet. After glancing at Long Sanhe's skeleton, he waved a hand and stored it within his own Spirit Platform Immortal Realm.
Without returning to the villa, he leaped into the sea once more.
Having awakened his Spirit Platform Immortal Realm, his speed had soared. In mere moments, he reached the depths of the trench.
The Azure Giant Tortoise waited by the stone wall. Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, it rose to greet him.
"You can go back!" Zhang Xuan told the giant tortoise before darting into the stone wall.
The scene shifted instantly, and he reappeared within the Secret Realm world.
Night had fallen by then. After thinking it over, he flashed toward the inn.
The proprietress, Hong Yin, was sitting in her room with a troubled expression. She had sent people everywhere to search for Zhang Xuan, yet there was no trace of him.
"Could it be that the fate between you and me ends here?" She frowned as she gazed out the window, murmuring to herself.
Just then, the window beside her shattered with a crash, and Zhang Xuan shot inside.
Hong Yin froze for a moment, then burst into delighted joy and threw herself into his arms.
"I knew it. The fate between me and my husband has only just begun!"
Zhang Xuan looked utterly baffled. Uh... what is this woman doing?
He reached out, wanting to pull Hong Yin away, but she refused to let go.
