In a remote mountain range within Dongyuan Domain.
Three figures suddenly appeared there.
Yet they remained for only an instant before vanishing from the spot once more.
Still, in that brief instant, their appearances could be clearly seen.
They were none other than Fang Xiao, Yao Ling, and the Yao Clan spy.
Clearly, Fang Xiao was using a spatial shifting technique to lead the two deeper into the mountain range.
Their destination was the hiding place of the Yao Clan.
Although the spy knew only the general location where the Yao Clan had concealed themselves.
So long as he pointed out the direction, how could Yao Ling, the Great Elder of the Yao Clan, not know the exact location?
"Roughly how much longer until we reach the Secret Realm you mentioned?"
Yao Ling immediately answered Fang Xiao's question.
"With Senior's speed, we should reach the Secret Realm in about half a day."
A Secret Realm, like a grotto-heaven, was an independent existence separated from the world itself, both attached to the World Barrier.
The difference was that grotto-heavens clung to the outer side of the World Barrier.
Secret Realms, on the other hand, lay on its inner side.
Although Secret Realms avoided being drawn away and turned into a Realm Battlefield when worlds collided.
Because they remained enclosed within a world, they were still governed by that world's heavenly will.
Thus, they could not give birth to Dao Track Projections, nor could they be used to evade tribulations.
For that reason, Secret Realms were far less valuable than grotto-heavens.
Of course, their uses differed, so they were not simply discarded and left unused.
Thus, some Secret Realms still existed.
And the Yao Clan was currently hidden within one such Secret Realm.
Yet Yao Ling did not feel the slightest joy
