After they left Dog Head Ridge, Ye Qingci said to Fang Chen, "Fang Chen, why don't you take me to see the Ninth Secret Realm too?"
"Sure!"
Fang Chen nodded vigorously.
Just then, his Spirit Sword Talisman trembled slightly. He swept it with his Spiritual Sense, and Myna bird's voice echoed in his mind. "Fang Chen, are you out of seclusion yet?"
Fang Chen replied at once, "I am. What about you?"
"I didn't attempt the trial," Myna bird said. "Ye Kong and Chi You cleared it, but your nine Clones still haven't. That's a little strange. Should we go in and ask the Realm Master?"
"My Clones still haven't cleared it?"
Fang Chen frowned slightly. His nine Clones had begun the trial even earlier than the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and Ye Kong. Yet those two had already cleared it, while his Clones had not.
Fang Chen shook his head. "No need to ask. I have faith in my Clones. They'll clear it!"
"All right," Myna bird replied.
Fang Chen said to him, "Since you're out, let's get ready to head for the Buddhist Land!"
"Okay!" Myna bird replied.

Ye Kong was full of praise for the Ninth Secret Realm.
