Xuan Fire Continent, Soul Forging Forest.
Xiao Chi, Chi Yu, brought his younger brother Xiao Yan and Xiao Ling here to slay beasts and devour fire.
The Fourth Elder, who had been secretly protecting them, watched Xiao Chi spend several days only slaying beasts without devouring fire, utterly puzzled.
In truth, Xiao Chi had long known of the Fourth Elder's arrival. With Extreme Dao within him, nothing could remain hidden from him. How could he not know?
Having failed for several days to encounter a demon beast with aptitude above Profound Fire, Xiao Chi was considering giving up and returning to the city.
Just then, Ji Dao's voice sounded. "Master, a secret realm has been discovered!"
Xiao Chi, who had been about to step forward, immediately stopped and connected with the system through his mind.
"Where?"
"The specific location has been marked for you. Please open the panel to view it."
"Mm, excellent!"
After opening the panel and obtaining the exact location, Xiao Chi was overjoyed. Every secret realm contained opportunities, though danger always accompanied them.
But with Ji Dao here, even danger could become an opportunity.
"Let's go. We're heading for the central area." Xiao Chi turned and spoke to Xiao Yan and Xiao Ling.
The two nodded. Their admiration for Xiao Chi had reached the point of complete reverence.
Whatever Xiao Chi said went. They had no hesitation whatsoever.
Seeing the three of them heading toward the central area, the Fourth Elder shifted his feet and secretly followed.
The Blazing Sun shone overhead, making Soul Forging Forest feel somewhat stifling.
A patch of dark clouds drifted across the sky. It might rain.
Xiao Chi and the other two walked and paused along the way until they reached the location indicated by Ji Dao.
Lush vegetation filled their view.
