He Only Lasted 3 Seconds!
Frog Claw Basin.
A corner of the southwest.
Roger walked slowly along the edge of the Great Secret Realm.
Peach Blossom Mountain is always shrouded in a pink mist.
His gaze would occasionally pierce deeper into the clouds and mist.
They were trying to figure out the depths of this place.
It's a pity.
The origin of this Great Secret Realm is quite mysterious.
Even Roger's "Absolute Insight" could not see through the obstacles.
On the contrary, it was during the process of strolling around in circles.
His Historical Knowledge was very enlightening!
On the data panel.
Lines of information slowly appeared.
"Historical Knowledge: You have gained knowledge of the legend (Peach Blossom Mountain)"
"Legend (Peach Blossom Mountain): A mountain of spirits and monsters from the Tallen Era."
The mountain and its surroundings are home to many spirits and monsters.
Peach Blossom Mountain holds a pivotal position in the Taren mythology system.
There are rumors that...
The sacred tiger worshipped by the Taren people originated from this mysterious and extraordinary mountain range.
Peach Blossom Mountain itself is suspected to be a Sub-Plane.
And in the ancient documents and records.
Tallen Era, there were frequent stories of people who accidentally entered Peach Blossom Mountain and received enlightenment from immortals.
There are also folk tales about a fleeting dream leading to a large family;
You possess the ' Time Scroll '.
You will gain the following additional knowledge:...
The Historical World corresponding to Peach Blossom Mountain is the sealed 9th History.
In this important historical context.
Because two Celestial God-level Martial Artist were born.
Therefore, this Historical World is the best preserved of the 12 historical regressions.
This comes at a time when the tides of history are turning back.
The 9th History, who has been taken in, will use Peach Blossom Mountain as a springboard.
Gradually merging into Mystra's Prime Material Plane.
Who can control Peach Blossom Mountain?
Whoever gains the upper hand in the upcoming conflict of the 9th History Return will be able to seize the initiative.
"Sixth Sense: You realize that the appearance of Peach Blossom Mountain is somewhat abrupt, seemingly out of necessity..."
I read those lines of information over and over again.
Roger's Perception Authority was also pulsating slightly.
In a daze.
He vaguely saw a stubborn moon bear diligently fishing in Ox-Eye Lake.
She held on for a very, very long time.
Unfortunately, the true form of the Golden Carp was never found.
In a fit of anger.
She used her special skill! It was a night without stars.
Qin remained lying on the Ox-Eye Lake as usual.
The Golden Carp at the bottom of the lake assumed she was the same as before and thus remained unsuspecting.
Who knew she would suddenly unleash her supernatural powers.
They drank all the water from Ox-Eye Lake in one gulp!
This time.
The fish and shrimp at the bottom of the lake were all exposed.
The slightly careless Golden Carp also gave itself away! In a hurry.
In order to escape from the bear's jaws.
The Golden Carp had no choice but to manifest its physical form.
They then fled in a sorry state to the southwest.
But Qin relentlessly pursued him.
The Golden Carp sighed helplessly.
It transformed into a large pink mist! Yet, it could be seen in the moonlight.
The mountains in the southwest of the basin are covered in a continuous expanse of pink.
One after another, strange peaks rise abruptly from the ground.
Taoyuan Mountain, a hidden paradise.
Thus, it was born!
The final scene of the perceived image.
Roger saw Jean resolutely walk into that pink area.
At that time.
The secret realm of Taoyuan Mountain has not yet been fully developed.
She easily broke in.
Then several rather pathetic screams came from inside.
Through divination and perception.
Roger can confirm that the piano is safe for the time being.
But she certainly didn't become the owner of that Golden Carp.
Otherwise, the Great Secret Realm wouldn't be like this now!...
"That Qin, she actually found the Golden Carp..."
I repeatedly reviewed the images I had just perceived.
Roger was also quite amazed.
He had thought that such a rare creature as Golden Carp would be difficult to catch.
I never expected that Qin would almost capture me alive using such a clumsy method!
This did remind Roger—
sometimes.
Don't overcomplicate your goals.
After the battle in the White Whale Plane.
Most of the old cunning bastards in Mi Star are already dead.
But in the face of the historical tide of return.
Mystra is very likely to usher in an era in which everyone is rejuvenated!
in this case.
He still clings to his old, outdated ways of thinking when trying to understand the enemy.
On the contrary, you might fall into the predicament of overthinking! However, Golden Carp are indeed not so easy to deal with.
Almost three days have passed since then.
Not only did the eager disciples of the Clear Spring Sect suffer a setback here.
Qin was never able to leave the mountains again.
This gives us a glimpse into the situation.
Besides Historical Knowledge and Sixth Sense.
Roger then searched for more details about Peach Blossom Mountain in the "Time Scroll".
After all, this scroll is said to contain all the content of 12 historical and contemporary times.
Although he has not yet become the true owner of the painting.
However, some functions are still usable.
Very soon.
More information about this Great Secret Realm before Roger's eyes appeared!
In the description of the Time Scroll.
The Golden Carp itself was not a spirit or monster.
It is merely a spiritual entity formed from the combined thoughts of countless spirits and monsters of Peach Blossom Mountain.
It is the Peach Blossom Mountain Master.
It is also the key to the Great Secret Realm and the 9th History.
Just like the "Fire Whirlwind" in "Ten Desolations Scorched Earth".
Got the Golden Carp.
This would give you the opportunity to gain the initiative in negotiating with the existing civilizations or powers of the 9th History!
"I just wonder how many people are left from the 9th History..."
"If the present world of Mi Star is already so miserable, then the Ten Desolations Scorched Earth of the Third History have become ruins. Even if the 9th History is well preserved, it probably won't be much better off."
"Hopefully, at least some Martial Artist's Inheritance can be preserved..."
Roger thought to himself.
At that very moment.
In the Great Secret Realm realm before him.
Suddenly, three figures were thrown backwards in a disheveled manner!
Thud! Thud! Thud! They fell to the ground one after another.
It looks like he fell pretty hard.
Fortunately, the soil in the Frog Claw Basin is loose.
These three were clearly members of the Clear Spring Sect, who also had martial arts disciples.
This level of damage is still bearable.
"Notification: You have activated 'Stealth'..."
Roger stood calmly beside his three disciples.
Listening to their conversation.
They must have just been kicked out of the Great Secret Realm.
His tone was quite dejected.
But one of the tall, thin men said:
"Didn't you say it's easy if you're lucky?"
"At worst, you can get something like a monkey or a mandrill..."
Why did I turn into a big-mouthed frog!?
The other two shook their heads.
A fat man sighed:
"I'm a little better off than you. I turned into a grass snake, but I hadn't been swimming for long before a guy dressed as a farmer hit me to death with a hoe!"
"This Peach Blossom Mountain is just as eerie as the legends say."
"People with bad luck don't even qualify to go in!"
The last dwarf couldn't help but nod and say, "Who can argue with that?"
"You two, one a snake and the other a frog, are alright."
"I turned into a muddy eel! Not long after, the wicked people in the mountains caught me and made soup. When I was kicked out, I could still smell the aroma of the soup!"
The three of them poured out their grievances to each other.
The atmosphere gradually became more optimistic.
"Hi..."
"This kind of thing was within our expectations."
"Isn't everyone here just trying their luck?"
The tall guy patted his butt and stood up.
The three of them prepared to leave together.
At that very moment.
The short man suddenly said, "This Great Secret Realm..."
"I wonder if the Sect Master can handle this?"
The fat man next to him interjected, "Logically speaking, is there anything in this world that the Sect Master can't handle?"
"He's the kind of person who can cleave Nine Great Planets in two with a single sword strike!"
"I heard that that sword strike not only cleaved several planets in two, but also killed millions of demons in the abyss..."
Um.
How many layers of rumor has this fat guy heard? It's so outrageous! Roger frowned deeply upon hearing this.
I actually quite enjoyed it.
He glanced at the fat man a few more times.
If there's a chance later, I can reward him.
However, only a few seconds passed.
The fat man then changed the subject. "But Peach Blossom Mountain is completely unreasonable."
"Even Vice Sect Master Ji got thwarted here! Did you hear? He only lasted 3 seconds!"
"The vice sect leader is a big shot now, right? This shows that the Great Secret Realm has nothing to do with strength; it's purely a place where luck matters!"
Upon hearing this...
The other two nodded in agreement.
They expressed opinions such as "If the deputy sect leader couldn't hold on, then the Sect Master probably in grave danger as well."
These words caused Roger's usually generous expression to gradually darken.
These three guys are clearly from the Cloud Gate.
He's just spouting nonsense.
To be honest...
It wasn't that Roger deliberately smeared Ji Qiu.
This guy is quite strong and has made great contributions.
But how many times has he suffered setbacks?! A rational analysis is needed.
A mere hidden paradise on Peach Blossom Mountain.
He, a vice sect leader of the Clear Spring Sect, couldn't even last three seconds...
If this gets out...
Wouldn't that ruin the reputation of the Clear Spring Sect?
Roger knew.
At times like this.
That's often when you step up and turn the tide! However...
At his level of status and position.
It's not convenient for me to say anything more deliberately.
Roger then quietly lifted the secrecy.
Then, to the astonishment of the three men...
I casually stepped into the area of the Great Secret Realm!
That final moment.
Roger perked up his ears slightly.
But then they heard this scream:
"Broken!"
"The Sect Master was right next to us!"
"Everyone says that the Sect Master has small eyes... no, I mean, a narrow mind... Could he have remembered us, the Wheatfield Three Musketeers?"
The sounds around me gradually faded away.
OK.
The Wheatfield Three Musketeers, right? I'll remember you.
Roger's smile gradually froze.
The next second.
A strange power enveloped him!
Darkness and light.
It flipped repeatedly against a dreamy pink background! On the data bar.
"Hint: You have entered the Great Secret Realm of Peach Blossom Mountain!"
"As an outsider, you have been given one chance to become a ' Peach Blossom Mountain '!"
"Please select your identity..."
That instant.
Roger realized that he was being enveloped in a round Bubbles in the form of a consciousness.
And all around were a large number of bubble-like Bubbles.
However, most of the Bubbles are empty.
Visible to the naked eye.
A few Bubbles containing kernels flickered sporadically.
Roger sensed it briefly.
They then knew that they wanted to enter Peach Blossom Mountain.
All power will be 'confiscated'.
Outsiders must travel through the Great Secret Realm in the form of spirits.
No wonder Ji Qiu only lasted 3 seconds!
"Each solid Bubbles represents a different Sprite Template!"
"You need to obtain the Sprite Template to enter the Great Secret Realm!"
"Ji Qiu has most likely touched a blank Bubbles!"
Roger quickly analyzed the situation.
On the data panel.
"Hint: You have found ' Blank Template ' (expelled) *974"
"You have discovered the 'Tier I Sprite Template: Grasshopper'"
"You have discovered the 'Tier I Sprite Template: Wild Dog'"
"You have discovered the 'Tier I Sprite Template: Porcupine'"
"Tier II Sprite Template: Iron-Eating Beast"
"Tier II Sprite Template: Male Flower Fairy (Rare)"
"Tier II Sprite Template: Pegasus"
"Hint: You have discovered Tier IV Sprite Template: Spilled Water Flood Dragon"
"This is it!"
"A jiao is still a dragon species!"
Between thoughts.
Roger confidently wriggled towards the shimmering golden Bubbles! To be fair...
Moving the Bubbles is really difficult.
Also be careful not to bump into other Bubbles.
It took Roger a while to move his Bubbles next to the golden "Spilled Water Flood Dragon".
The next second.
He relies on his precision guidance technology.
I happily bumped into the golden Bubbles.
And they attempted to force their way through.
But what he never expected was...
The membrane covering the golden Bubbles was so thick and strong.
Roger suddenly put it on.
Not only did they fail to break through and enter.
It was even bounced back by the extremely strong flexibility of the golden Bubbles!
"This is bad!"
The thought flashed through Roger's mind.
The next second.
A warm current enveloped his consciousness!
In the blink of an eye.
Roger suddenly turned his gaze to the data panel!...
"Record: Your talent as a spirit is insufficient; you have been rejected by the ' Spilled Water Flood Dragon Template'!"
"Hint: You have acquired the identity of Peach Blossom Mountain!"
"You have obtained the Tier I Sprite Template: Grass Carp"
"Grass carp template (Roger)"
"Realm: Membrane (2)"
Talent 1: Bubble Breathing
"Bubble blowing: You can exhale a very visually appealing burst of Bubbles, but it doesn't have much destructive power."
Talent 2: Quick Cycle
"Rapid cycle: You eat quickly, and you poop quickly too."
Talent 3: Fish's Memory
"Fish's Memory: It is seven times more difficult for you to learn supernatural magic than for other spirits; but at the same time..."
You are seven times more likely to find happiness than any other spirit.
"Hint: In 947 Peach Blossom Mountain, on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, you became a grass carp in the 'Heavenly Lake'."
"Please exercise caution when operating within the territory."
Peach Blossom Mountain is Sprite Paradise.
However, with the invasion of Aberrant Matter...
Many spirits and monsters also began to change their habits.
It is a spiritual grass carp with only 2 membranes.
You should understand your situation...
"Damn it!"
When Roger instinctively wanted to utter that word.
The bluish-gray grass carp opened its foolish fish lips.
A series of bubbles sprayed out.
Near the white sand at the bottom of the lake.
A crab scurried sideways across the road.
The Bubbles skimmed over its crab shell.
It glanced silently at the grass carp.
Without saying a word, he walked away.
"I was ignored..."
"My Spilled Water Flood Dragon!"
"No, how did it turn into a grass carp?"
Roger swam around in the white sand, utterly puzzled.
This grass carp is a spirit.
But it's probably the worst kind of spirit.
Besides being highly concealed.
It's not as easy as Ji Qiu giving up the first blood.
Roger saw no future in it!
"Based on the experiences of other disciples, as long as this Sprite Template is given away, they will be expelled from the Great Secret Realm..."
"But I can't exactly fantasize about starting as a grass carp and eventually evolving into an ancient giant Kun, can I?"
After making a few complaints.
Roger calmed down.
After digesting the little memory the grass carp had left.
He knew that he was in a place called Tianhu in Peach Blossom Mountain.
This lake is located on the second highest peak of the Peach Blossom Mountain.
From a bird's-eye view.
Its shape is like a gourd.
Therefore, this Heavenly Lake is divided into the Sun Lake and the Moon Lake according to its size.
Sun Lake is vast and treacherous.
Many large spirits and monsters are active there.
Roger's previously coveted Spilled Water Flood Dragon might also be from that area.
Moon Lake, on the other hand, is small and tranquil.
There are only a few fish and shrimp here.
The algae were not very abundant.
The advantage is that there are no particularly ferocious predators.
In the grass carp's memory.
The area around Moon Lake is full of spirits with two or at most three membranes, just like him.
And those that can 'break the membrane and become evil'.
Most people went to Sun Lake to join in the fun.
As for why...
Even the grass carp didn't know.
Because it really is just a grass carp.
"He's been promoted to a tough guy, what kind of difficulties hasn't he encountered?"
Even if it's a grass carp start.
"I can defy fate too!"
After clearing my thoughts.
Out of caution.
Roger circled Moon Lake once more.
When you're hungry, eat some plankton.
When you get tired, hide under the sand and rest for a while.
Several hours later.
Roger, having searched Moon Lake to no avail, resolutely stood before the crevice of the artificial hill leading to Sun Lake! The next second...
He plunged in headfirst.
Whoosh! A dark shadow flashed by.
He didn't even get a good look at what the other person looked like.
The world gradually turns gray!
"Notification: You have been expelled from Peach Blossom Mountain!"
"There are 72 hours left until the next chance to meet the Peach Blossom Mountain!"
"As expected of the Sect Master!"
"They actually lasted for more than three hours!"
Near the ear.
A burst of heartfelt praise rang out.
Roger's eyelids twitched.
Who else could it be but Ji Qiu speaking? And at this moment, outside the Great Secret Realm.
Apart from the Wheatfield Three Musketeers and Ji Qiu.
It was completely surrounded by a dense crowd!
"Sect Master to say a few words?"
"The Sect Master must have made a new discovery!"
"Yes, Sect Master, what exactly is going on with Peach Blossom Mountain?"
The crowd couldn't help but cheer.
From their eyes.
Roger couldn't see a trace of praise or sarcasm.
This shows that...
They genuinely believed that Roger was invincible!
This moment.
Roger suddenly felt a slight pressure.
"Perhaps..."
"This is what they call maintaining an idol image..."
He was about to say something.
Who knew that it would happen at this moment?
Roger suddenly sensed an aura filled with destructive power! The next moment...
Roger suddenly turned around.
He looked towards the south of the Great Secret Realm +!
His gaze swept beyond the Peach Blossom Mountain.
We've arrived at the southern part of the Frog Claw Basin!
There.
A woman dressed in light blue was indifferently surveying the pink mountains in front of her.
It seemed to sense Roger's gaze.
She gave him a defiant look.
The next second.
She now held a key with wings.
The key kept fluttering.
He led the woman into Peach Blossom Mountain!
In an instant.
The Great Secret Realm of Peach Blossom Mountain seemed to have been cleaved open by a powerful force.
Roger saw the woman nestled among thousands of Bubbles.
With the help of the key.
She actually has the power to pick and choose!
final.
She chose a golden Bubbles to incorporate into it.
Then it completely vanished from Roger's perception!...
"Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing: You've discovered the Ether Witch and the ' Fire Whirlwind '!"
"Record: With the help of Fire Whirlwind, the Ether Witch obtained Tier IV Sprite Template (Mantis Princess)."
"Mantis Princess: The second leader of the Mantis Demon faction, an enemy force in Peach Blossom Mountain."
She and her mantis Mantis Demon were widely active outside of ' Jade Ring Mountain '.
But they always coveted Peach Blossom Mountain.
..."
"I can't wait 72 hours!"
"We have to find a way to get in again!"
Seeing this scene.
Roger frowned.
But the other party possesses one of the 12 keys, "Fire Whirlwind"! They have clearly become a 'VIP player' in the Great Secret Realm.
Roger is now at a disadvantage! "The key..."
"The key..."
"Wait! The key!"
That instant.
Roger suddenly remembered something.
Then he hurriedly rummaged through his Tinder Pouch and pulled out a prop!
It was a lantern with an antique appearance.
On the data panel.
"Lantern of the Lost City (Special Item/Upgrade)"
"Description: This is a treasure from a city that does not exist in present history. Under certain conditions, it can be a key."
"Time Scroll: You have activated the ' Lantern of the Lost City,' and obtained one of the 12 keys (Soul Herding Lamp)!"
"The presence of the Soul Herding Lamp has been detected..."
"You have been given the opportunity to re-enter Peach Blossom Mountain and have had an additional stroke of luck!"
"Opportunity: Every second, you can choose your identity as Peach Blossom Mountain once more."
"Ah, this..."
"The key was right beside me!"
"Sure enough, it's easy to forget things when you have too many!"
Roger was filled with emotion.
If it weren't for the Ether Witch's actions...
He had absolutely no recollection of having such a strange lantern in his hand!
According to the description in the Time Scroll.
This Soul Herding Lamp corresponds to the Second History! Just like the Fire Whirlwind.
This key, while not allowing Roger to directly enter the world of 9th History.
But they can enjoy extra benefits in the Great Secret Realm where everyone is treated equally! It's just a pity.
Fire Whirlwind directly provided the Ether Witch with a super Sprite Template.
It seems that Roger can only rely on repeatedly ramming into the Soul Herding Lamp!
But no matter what.
He has to hurry!
then.
Roger hurriedly said a few words to the crowd, "Everyone, you can all leave now."
"I have nothing to say."
"We just need to hurry up."
As they were talking.
He re-entered the Great Secret Realm under the watchful eyes of everyone!
"Really!"
"The Sect Master is truly exceptional!"
"We can only enter once every 72 hours!"
"He can score at least twice!"
Seeing this scene.
The group began to discuss it enthusiastically.
Ji Qiu, who was originally going to disperse everyone, couldn't help but watch Roger's back.
beside.
The tall, thin man, one of the Wheatfield Three Musketeers in charge of relaying messages, couldn't help but ask, "How long do you all think the Sect Master can hold out this time?"
Ji Qiu's face darkened. "How can you describe it as 'persistence', Sect Master?"
"Shouldn't we be discussing how long we can last in the Great Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing this, everyone...
They all nodded in agreement.
But they hadn't even figured it out yet.
A towering figure suddenly sprang out from the Great Secret Realm!
Wow! That person's movement skills are quite impressive.
It managed to stabilize itself during the rebound.
Immediately.
He walked back into the Great Secret Realm with a blank expression!
Someone nearby calculated in a daze:
"7, 7 seconds..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Whoosh! The wind rises again!
Roger was ejected again!
This time he was clearly more experienced.
It was popped up.
The figure suddenly shot off in the opposite direction!
Gradually.
The person counting grew increasingly dazed. "5 seconds!"
"3 seconds!"
"One second!"
"Still 1 second!"
"Sect Master... what are you trying to do?"
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd.
Roger continued to frantically In and Out the boundaries of the Great Secret Realm.
The interval must never exceed one second!
On the data panel.
A flood of information flashed by.
"Warning: You touched a 'blank Bubbles ' and have been banished from the Great Secret Realm!"
"You have touched... the mark of exile..."
"You... let go..."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Under Roger's exceptional movement control.
He only took 17 minutes.
It popped up all the blank Bubbles in the template selection phase! On the data panel.
"Hint: You destroyed 1 blank Bubbles, bringing your total number of destroyed blank Bubbles to 974."
"Your elusive talents have received a slight boost..."
"I never imagined that blank Bubbles could be a kind of monster!"
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm used to automatically switching markers..."
"I almost missed it!"
The next moment.
Roger entered the Great Secret Realm with great joy!
What was presented to him.
They were all spirits of different ranks.
in.
There are 5 golden Bubbles.
These correspond to five different Tier IV Sprite Template!...
"Spilled Water Flood Dragon (Heavenly Lake Overlord)"
"Juvenile Heavenly Peng (Thunder Marsh Overlord)"
"Iron-Eating Beast Zhu Lianlian (Corps Commander of the Huanbishan Garrison)"
"Flower Immortal (Flower Demon Leader /Lord of the Valley)"
"The Mantis Queen (Mother of the Mantis Princess / King from Beyond the Territories)"
"Huh?"
Which one should I choose?
Roger fell into deep thought.
This period of deep thought lasted for 24 hours!
