On this journey into the secret cave, Qin Fengming had all but exhausted the Mountain Breaking Talismans he had crafted before entering the tunnel. Only a handful remained.
Yet Qin Fengming felt no sense of loss. Instead, delight shone on his face.
Even setting aside the hundred-odd thousand mid-grade devil stones, the spell incantations and runes Qin Fengming had gleaned from that enormous array—things he had never seen before—were enough to set his heart leaping with joy.
Such things could not be bought with spirit stones.

Whether in the Devil Realm, the Human Realm, or the Ghost Realm, whenever the power separating the realms weakened, passage into another realm was possible only at a few neighboring locations.
Although the positions of the realms constantly shifted, the immense attraction between any two realms generally prevented their relative positions from changing too greatly. Thus, when the power separating the Three Realms weakened, passages appeared between neighboring realms. These were the routes by which the inhabitants of the Three Realms crossed into one another's territories.
The Three Realms War generally lasted over a hundred years before the power separating the realms stabilized again. Within an enemy realm, however, securing the energy supplies they needed was extremely inconvenient.
