The confusion that had plagued Yan Qing for days suddenly cleared up.
After hearing that Si Wuxie had used the Fourth Turn Secret Realm to leave behind his inheritance, Yan Qing had wondered whether that was a little too risky.
He could understand Si Wuxie's thinking. If he had left the inheritance outside, then none of the trials would have been meaningful. The other Heralds could simply break through the mountains and dig through the earth to seize it. Besides, Si Wuxie had been a demonic-path giant whose name had been passed down through the ages. His enemies probably formed a line stretching from Shu Road Mountain all the way to Chang'an City.
To keep his inheritance from being taken by his enemies, and since a Secret Realm was unaffected by disasters and calamities from the outside world, it was perfectly reasonable for Si Wuxie to choose a Fourth Turn Secret Realm as the inheritance site.
But the problem was, how could Si Wuxie ensure that his inheritance would not be reset along with the Secret Realm?
Once a Secret Realm reset, everything inside would return to its original state. This characteristic gave Secret Realm Military Garrisons an almost inexhaustible supply of materials, but it also meant that any changes made to a Secret Realm could only take effect once. Capturing Stone Sinking Stream in Xuanwu Lake Military Town took three hours, and two of those hours were spent by the engineers repeating earthworks they had already performed hundreds of times.
A Secret Realm would reset as long as no one was inside. That was an undisputed ironclad rule.
If Si Wuxie's inheritance had been able to exist for nearly a century, there was only one possibility: the Secret Realm had never reset, and someone had been inside the entire
