That night, the moon shone bright and the stars were sparse.
Behind the main mountain of Tian Yuan City Lord's territory lay a semi-secret realm wrapped in a massive Folded Space.
Before the Lord Altar.
Mu Yuan took out the black-gold card given to him by the Mysterious Merchant.
He examined it carefully, but could not make heads or tails of it. A faint notification from heaven and earth merely sounded beside his ear.
"Notification: Use the special unranked item 'Mysterious Merchant Alliance VIP Card'?"
"Yes!"
He silently confirmed.
The black card, engraved with flowing golden patterns, slowly began to burn. Beneath the scorching red marks, it gradually vanished.
In its place appeared an abstruse and wondrous might that connected heaven and earth, resonating with the power of the Miracle Territory.
"Notification: Construct the 'Mysterious Merchant Alliance VIP Platform' secret realm? This secret realm follows special rules and is a public secret realm."
"Yes!"
A Secret Realm Gate slowly took shape above the Lord Altar.
The ellipsoidal Secret Realm Gate was mostly black, but not the dead, terrifying black of absolute silence. It was an unfathomably deep black, filled with intense mystery. Countless deep-blue and pale-violet star-sands swirled around the gate, adding several touches of artistic beauty to its profound darkness.
Mu Yuan reached out and touched the gate.
"Notification: This is a rules-based secret realm. It follows rules including the cessation of hostilities and absolutely fair trade. In addition, this secret realm can only accommodate lords or individuals possessing the identity of heroes of this territory." "Notification: If the VIP Card holder is not a lord of a territory, he has the right to bring no more than three companions inside."
Yet Mu Yuan still knew nothing about what was inside
