He only had a few decades of lifespan left, how could he not be anxious.

"Brother! With your bloodline, you can definitely do it, you just lack some resources."

Lei Jiani comforted him.

At the same time, she also felt she had wronged Zhou Er.

Zhou Er had become her Dao Companion, and he hadn't asked for anything.

Moreover, she also knew that Zhou Er was eager to achieve success in his cultivation and return to seek revenge on his enemies.

However, it was not easy for the Demon Race to advance to the Demon King Realm.

They also needed a lot of spiritual items, or the Demon Core of a senior.

If he could swallow the Demon Core of a Demon King, Zhou Er's chances of advancing would increase by at least fifty percent.

This was also the fastest and most reliable way for the Demon Race to advance.

The key was that her father and mother were still in their prime, and they weren't even in a hurry to choose an heir, so they naturally wouldn't leave their Demon Cores behind.

Unless, a Demon King fell nearby.

Then, if her father could snatch the Demon Core, otherwise, it would be too difficult for Zhou Er to achieve the Demon King Realm.

Of course, Zhou Er was not from the Demon Race; he wanted to break through to Golden Core.

Now, his body was strong, and it was not impossible to form a Golden Core using the methods of the Demon Race.

"Brother! In the future, I'll have my father keep an eye out for you, to see if any Demon King falls."

Lei Jiani said to Zhou Er earnestly.

"Jiani, thank you."

Zhou Er pulled Lei Jiani closer.

Lei Jiani's figure had long since returned to that of a young girl. Her posture was soft but not sagging, charming but not vulgar, both light and agile, yet hiding natural, graceful curves. Every movement and stillness exuded a relaxed and alluring physique.

Coincidentally, Cang Hao was being taken care of by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so the couple had an intimate moment.

Aside from not being able to find a Demon Core for Zhou Er immediately, Lei Jiani was quite good to Zhou Er.

Zhou Er had also found many items over the years, obtaining some related attributes for the Water Attribute.

This increased the strength of his Water Attribute Spells.

Lei Jiani took Zhou Er's desire to advance to heart and specifically mentioned it to her parents.

Father Lei and Mother Lei also felt that Zhou Er's accumulation was sufficient and that he indeed needed to find a Demon Core to break through as soon as possible.

"It just so happens that the Tianyi Secret Realm will open next year. Why don't you and Cang Er go together?"

Lei Ze thought of their East Sea's premier secret realm, the Tianyi Secret Realm.

This Tianyi Secret Realm was the legacy left behind by a Divine Lord after his death.

It opened once every sixty years, and any Water Race below the Golden Core realm in the East Sea could explore it for treasures.

Lei Jiani was about to agree but suddenly remembered that she still had Cang Hao to look after, so her expression showed hesitation.

"Dad! If we all go to the secret realm, what about Xiao Haohao?"

Lei Jiani still couldn't bear to leave.

"Xiao Haohao can stay with your mother and me. Don't you trust us?"

Lei Ze said.

Lei Jiani fell into hesitation.

Upon returning, she informed Zhou Er of this matter.

"Tianyi Secret Realm, what is that?"

Zhou Er still didn't quite understand.

"It's a Divine Lord who perished near the East Sea a thousand years ago."

Lei Jiani explained to Zhou Er.

According to the rules in the sea, the flesh and blood of a fallen Great Power would nourish other Water Race descendants.

The Bequest of a Divine Lord could even transform into a secret realm, nourishing descendants for hundreds or thousands of years.

To avoid conflicts among the Water Race and for the sustainable exploitation of the secret realm's resources, the East Sea Dragon God established the rule that it would open once every sixty years, and only Water Race descendants could enter.

Her father, Lei Ze, was the current patriarch of the Thunder Eel Clan and naturally had many opportunities to enter.

"Now, the Tianyi Secret Realm is nearing its end, and the inheritance of Divine Lord Tianyi will appear. Whoever obtains the inheritance of Divine Lord Tianyi, even if they don't achieve Divinity, can at least obtain a Heavenly King Seat."

Lei Jiani said somewhat nervously:

"Therefore, the competition within the secret realm has been very fierce in recent years. Many Water Race members have fought fiercely. I'm afraid if we all go and none of us return, what will happen to Xiao Haohao?"

Seeing Lei Jiani's flustered appearance, Zhou Er stepped forward, pinched Lei Jiani's cheek, and said:

"Jiani, your current strength is only Mid-Stage Second Tier, still too weak. Why don't you stay at home? I'll go by myself. You just wait for my good news upon my return."

After comforting her for a while, Lei Jiani finally calmed down.

If it weren't for Cang Hao, she would have been willing to die in the secret realm with Zhou Er.

After much deliberation, the day of departure arrived. To Zhou Er's surprise, Lei Jiani's sister, Lei Jiaxin, also wanted to go.

Lei Jiani and Mother Lei would stay behind in Thunder Dragon City and take care of Cang Hao.

"Husband, please take care of Big Sister. Big Sister is currently cultivating again and is only at the level of a junior demon general. Of course, your own safety is the most important. Xiao Haohao and I will wait for you at home."

Lei Jiani instructed during the farewell.

"I understand. You take good care of yourself at home too."

Zhou Er nodded.

After saying goodbye, Zhou Er set off under Lei Ze's guidance.

Lei Ze led the two to the entrance of the Tianyi Secret Realm, tens of thousands of miles away, where various Water Race beings had gathered.

Lei Ze, a demon king under the Eight-Armed Heavenly King Youluoduo, went to greet Heavenly King You first.

After greeting him, Lei Ze also introduced his second son-in-law to Heavenly King You.

"Lord Heavenly King!"

Zhou Er bowed respectfully upon seeing Heavenly King You, who had a total of four pairs of arms.

"No need for formalities! We Water Race don't have as many rules as the land dwellers."

Heavenly King You waved his hands with a smile.

Four hands moved together, stirring up a wave of water.

After a few brief words, Heavenly King You and Lei Ze stopped paying attention to the younger generation and engaged in conversation with several other demon kings and heavenly kings.

"They're all scrawny and ugly."

Lei Jiaxin remarked disdainfully as she looked at the other demon race members.

Few of the demon race here had completely shed their Water Race features like she had.

Although Lei Jiaxin hated humans to the bone, she still liked the human appearance.

She was particularly pleased with her current legs, which were long, shapely, and perfectly proportioned, without an ounce of excess fat.

Hearing Lei Jiaxin's words, Zhou Er asked:

"Big Sister, don't you have any friends coming to this secret realm? Aren't you going to catch up with them?"

"No need. Once we enter the secret realm, we'll be in competition. Only we are still family and can trust each other."

Lei Jiaxin said.

Although most of the Water Race were simple, they weren't without their wicked schemes.

Once inside the secret realm, no one knew what the situation would be like. Perhaps a friend they thought they had would stab them in the back.

After waiting for several days in the sea near the secret realm, it was finally time for it to open.

Before the secret realm opened, Lei Ze gave a few instructions to Zhou Er and Lei Jiaxin.

"Jiaxin, Cang Er, once you go in, whatever you can get is yours. Don't fight with others. Your safety is the most important thing."

More than getting things back, Lei Ze cared more about the safety of his daughter and son-in-law.

His daughter and son-in-law were still young and would have other opportunities later. There was no need to rush.

"Got it, Dad!"

Lei Jiaxin said impatiently.

"Yes! Father-in-law!"

Zhou Er also responded.

"Alright, there's no need to say more. You two will stand in that circle in a moment. The five Heavenly Kings will then teleport you into the secret realm. Work together and be careful."

Lei Ze pointed out the location to the two of them.

Zhou Er already knew about this location and nodded.

When the time came, the descendants of the Water Race swam into the circle of the teleportation array.

The five Heavenly Kings stood in five different locations, performing hand seals. Then, the surrounding water waves began to ripple, and the descendants of the Water Race disappeared amidst the waves.

When the water waves returned to calm, they found themselves in a very strange environment, with giant skeletons visible everywhere.

Upon entering, the descendants of the Water Race immediately formed small groups and headed in different directions.

Zhou Er looked at Lei Jiaxin and asked, "Where should we go first?"

"See the flesh and blood below? Even a bite of that flesh and blood would be a huge profit for us. For now, let's collect as many resources as possible here. We can gather again when the Heavenly Kings call us back."

Lei Jiaxin pointed to the red and white flesh and blood not far away.

This was the flesh and blood from the true body of the Tianyi Water God. Even after a thousand years, it had not decayed and was nourishing the creatures in the seawater.

Of course, it wouldn't decay so quickly underwater.

Not only flesh and blood, but this secret realm also hid more inheritances from Tianyi Water God, waiting for those with the intention to discover them.

Zhou Er nodded and swam towards a less crowded direction with Lei Jiaxin.

After swimming for a while, they finally saw the true flesh and blood of a Divine Lord.

Seeing this, Zhou Er dug off a piece and swallowed it.

He didn't taste much. This Divine Lord's flesh and blood had been here for who knows how many thousands of years, but it still looked quite good.

Lei Jiaxin, however, paid no mind to this piece of flesh and blood. She looked around, searching for the best way out.

After filling his Taotie Space, Zhou Er followed Lei Jiaxin to explore further inside.

As they swam, the group encountered a band of Water Race from the Shark Race.

These Water Race from the Shark Race had several rows of gill lines on their faces, sharp teeth, and developed muscles.

"These are subordinates of the Eight-Armed Heavenly King."

The largest Shark Clan Strongman among them recognized Zhou Er and Lei Jiaxin immediately upon seeing them.

"Run!"

Lei Jiaxin immediately pulled Zhou Er and swam in another direction.

While swimming, Lei Jiaxin explained to Zhou Er:

"The Eight-Armed Heavenly King and Heavenly King Sha have always had a conflict. I heard these Shark Race people like to hunt the descendants of the Eight-Armed Heavenly King's subordinates."

After hearing Lei Jiaxin's explanation, Zhou Er finally understood.

Although they were all under the East Sea Dragon God, there were considerable conflicts among the Five Great Heavenly Kings.

They appeared harmonious on the surface, but once inside the secret realm with no one else around, they revealed their fangs.

Fortunately, the other party hadn't focused their attention on them yet. He guessed it wasn't as bad as Lei Jiaxin imagined.

Just as the two moved away from the group of Shark Race, a half-naked Shark Clan Strongman rushed out from a fork in the road.

The strongman grinned, revealing his rows of fangs, and said:

"You brats of the Eight-Armed Heavenly King, why do you run when you see us! Let's have some fun together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three other Shark Race individuals gathered around, surrounding the two.

Zhou Er could feel Lei Jiaxin trembling. He shielded her behind him and shouted:

"What do you want?"

"What do we want? Of course, we want to taste the two of you."

The strong man shark swept aside the water wave, accelerated, and punched towards Zhou Er, while simultaneously opening his sharp mouth to pounce.

After Zhou Er dodged, he sprayed Qingming Cold Poison around.

The cold poison spread in the water, and the sharks' movements immediately slowed down.

Realizing something was wrong, the Shark Clan members immediately retreated.

Zhou Er took the opportunity to escape with Lei Jiaxin, who was also somewhat poisoned.

After the Qingming Cold Poison was released into the water, its toxicity was greatly diluted, and it couldn't stop the sharks for long.

The sharks behind them pursued relentlessly, and Zhou Er fled in a panic.

If he were alone, he might have had a chance to escape, but with Lei Jiaxin in his arms, his speed was slowed down.

Of course, he couldn't abandon Lei Jiaxin, after all, she was his nominal Big Sister.

If he were the only one to come out after the secret realm ended, it would be difficult to explain to Lei Jiani and the others.

Lei Jiaxin also slowly recovered, and she continuously thought of countermeasures.

Suddenly, she saw a giant clam, which could perfectly accommodate the two of them.

This was a top-tier Rank 2 Ancient Giant Clam, and the strength of its seashell was enough to withstand the attacks of the shark clan.

"Let's hide inside that seashell."

So, she got down from Zhou Er's embrace, took his hand, and they squeezed into the Ancient Giant Clam's seashell, immediately closing it.

After the seashell closed, the space inside became cramped, and Zhou Er and Lei Jiaxin were squeezed together.

Zhou Er could feel Lei Jiaxin's full, soft flesh pressing against him, her shape changing slightly, and their faces almost touching.

Lei Jiaxin could feel Zhou Er's body heat.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, the two of them couldn't care about that, and nervously felt the surrounding water waves, sensing the sharks' movements outside.

Several Shark Clan members chased them here and, knowing they had hidden in the Ancient Giant Clam, shouted from outside:

"We're leaving, you can come out now!"

"Boss, they wouldn't be that stupid, would they, to be tricked by us like this?"

Said a slightly fatter Shark Clan member.

"Idiot, if you don't say it, won't they know?"

The Shark Clan Strongman at the head slapped the other person.

After struggling for a long time and still having no way to deal with the Ancient Giant Clam, the few Shark Clan members had to leave.

After all, their main purpose for entering the Tianyi Secret Realm was to find treasures; killing prodigies from opposing forces was just a secondary objective.

Sensing that the Shark Clan members outside had left, the two inside the Ancient Giant Clam breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there was still another problem.

How should they get out now?

Zhou Er could even feel the clam flesh wrapping around them, attempting to digest them.

Lei Jiaxin was even more flustered. Due to the strange movements and the chaotic clam flesh, her distance from Zhou Er was getting closer and closer. She could feel her legs intertwined with Zhou Er's.

"Big Sister, let's change positions."

Zhou Er felt Lei Jiaxin's soft flesh jiggle twice and said.

He wanted to adjust to a more comfortable position.

The more he adjusted, the closer the two became. Zhou Er's hand accidentally landed on Lei Jiaxin's perky buttocks.

Zhou Er adjusted again, and his hand slid to her thigh.

Lei Jiaxin also sensed this, feeling extremely awkward.

After a long period of awkwardness, Lei Jiaxin regained her composure and said to Zhou Er:

"Jiani doesn't have such smooth thighs, does she!"
