She began circulating her mana, trying to suppress the dark flower. But she soon discovered that its power far exceeded her imagination, as though it carried the laws of the Great Dao from the Upper Realm.

Fairy Yuechan could not help but gasp in shock. "Is this a secret realm? Could this be the legendary Dao Flower...?"

Before she could finish, however, a powerful force suddenly enveloped her. The next moment, she vanished into the sea of flowers filling the sky.

Douluo Continent, Tiangeng City.

Shi Hao was still leaning against the wall, a foxtail grass stem between his lips. Dressed in white robes, his long black hair fluttered wildly in the wind, giving him a carefree and unruly air. His sharply defined face was handsome with a hint of roguishness, while his deep eyes seemed to conceal endless arrogance and mystery.

He had waited from afternoon until nightfall. Only when the silver moon hung high overhead did he suddenly sense a disturbance.

Shi Hao raised his head and looked into the night sky. The moon had suddenly become brighter, like a silver disc hanging in the heavens. Then, the night sky split open, and the moonlight grew incomparably radiant.

The next second, moonlight poured down like a galaxy. A woman's figure emerged beneath it, floating down from the night sky and landing before Shi Hao.

She wore a snow-white gauze dress that drifted like clouds, making her resemble a jade maiden from a celestial palace. Every detail of the dress exuded exquisite refinement. A pale moon-colored sash danced lightly at her waist, rising and falling in the wind alongside her long hair, displaying her elegance and liveliness.

A pink veil covered her face, thin as cicada wings, faintly revealing the smooth, luminous texture of her skin.

Behind the veil, her beautiful eyes were clear and translucent, as though they could see through everything in the world.

She held an emerald-green longsword in her hand. Its blade seemed carved from jade, and its edge gleamed with a cold light.

The sword never left her side, as if it were part of her body. Fairy Yuechan's fingers lightly brushed over the blade, every movement natural and graceful.

Her bearing was noble and imposing. Her figure flickered beneath the moonlight as though she might ride the wind away at any moment, making others afraid to approach her carelessly.

Looking at the woman before him, Shi Hao showed no fear. He smiled faintly and said, "It seems you are Fairy Yuechan."

Fairy Yuechan looked at Shi Hao in surprise. Slowly, she lifted her veil and revealed a peerlessly beautiful face. Her skin was white as jade and seemingly delicate enough to break at a touch, while her eyes shone like brilliant stars.

Her nose was high and straight, and her lips curved slightly upward, lending her an air of nobility. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, fluttering gently in the night breeze.

"I received a mysterious summons and followed its trail until I found that black Flower of the Other Shore. Could it be that this Pocket World is hidden within that black flower?"

Shi Hao nodded and said,

"That is right. Your arrival here is a fortunate opportunity. You may regard this place as a Pocket World within the Dao Flower. Someone opened this secret realm for you and invited you to this world to gain experience..."

"Someone opened a secret realm for me... Who opened it? And who are you?"

Fairy Yuechan stared at the white-robed man before her in astonishment. Her voice was soft and sweet, like a clear spring flowing through one's heart.

Shi Hao smiled faintly. He stepped forward, circled Fairy Yuechan's graceful figure once, and his black tied-up hair fluttered in the wind. He bore a seven- or eight-tenths resemblance to the Wild Heavenly Emperor from Perfect World.

Yet Fairy Yuechan before him remained unmoved, which meant she had not yet met the Wild Heavenly Emperor of Perfect World.

Shi Hao guessed that the Wild Heavenly Emperor from Perfect World probably had not yet reached the Heaven Mending Pavilion or met Weird Grandpa.

With that thought, he no longer had any reservations.

Shi Hao's gaze traveled from Fairy Yuechan's head to the tips of her toes as though he were admiring a work of art. His eyes held appreciation and satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad. Wide hips—good for bearing children."

Shi Hao teased with a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

At those words, Fairy Yuechan flew into a rage. Her delicate body trembled lightly as she abruptly drew her emerald-green longsword. The blade carved a beautiful arc through the air, its tip pointing directly at Shi Hao.

Anger appeared on her face as she shouted, "Insolent! You lecher, who exactly are you?"

Moonlight fell over Fairy Yuechan, illuminating the smooth radiance of her skin. Her long hair drifted gently in the night breeze, like countless fine threads dancing in the air.

Fury flashed in her eyes, as though she wanted to glare straight through Shi Hao.

Yet in the face of Fairy Yuechan's anger, Shi Hao remained entirely calm. He lightly raised his hand and released the emerald-green willow branch. It swayed softly in the darkness like a green ribbon dancing through the air, making a rustling sound.

The moment Fairy Yuechan saw that willow branch, her delicate body suddenly trembled. She sensed a force within it that filled her with fear.

That power seemed to carry the aura of the Desolate Domain.

Seeing Fairy Yuechan's reaction, Shi Hao became even more confident. He knew that although he was far from being her match right now, he could call upon the Willow Deity.

He only needed to call the Willow Deity once, and the Willow Deity's avatar would immediately appear and suppress Fairy Yuechan.

Thus, Shi Hao feared no one now—not Fairy Yuechan before him, nor level-99 Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, or Tang Hao...

After casually retracting the willow branch, Shi Hao maintained his calm smile and said,

"Enough, Yuechan. I am not your enemy. I am the one guiding you to gain experience in this world. Although the Great Dao laws and spiritual energy of this Pocket World cannot compare to the Eight Realms of the Lower Bound, time passes extremely slowly in this secret realm. A year here is roughly equivalent to an instant outside. Even if you cultivated here for a full hundred years, less than a day would pass beyond this secret realm. Do you not think this is an extraordinary opportunity for you? Here, you can slowly comprehend Divine Techniques you have yet to master and temper your state of mind. You have endless time to break through at your leisure. Once you finish training in this secret realm and return to the Eight Realms, or even the Upper Realm, your strength will far surpass those of your generation, and you will become a true peerless prodigy of the first generation."

"Is that true?"

Hearing this, Fairy Yuechan's delicate body trembled lightly, as though she found it difficult to believe.

Shi Hao passed by her side and gently patted her fragrant shoulder as he said,

"Of course, Fairy Yuechan. You should be able to sense it yourself. The laws of time in this secret realm differ from those outside. The flow of time here follows the birth and destruction of the Dao Flower and is not affected by the outside world..."

Feeling Shi Hao's touch, Fairy Yuechan took a deep breath and closed her eyes, carefully sensing the flow of time within the secret realm. Her heartbeat gradually slowed, and her breathing became steadier, as though she were slowly merging with this place.

Gradually, she seemed to detect a clue. All the laws within this secret realm were completely isolated from the outside world and untouched by any karmic ties of the Great Dao.

A moment later, Fairy Yuechan opened her beautiful eyes. Delight suddenly appeared on her lovely face as she said,

"So it is true. This really is a fortunate opportunity..."

Then, she looked at Shi Hao's face again and thought to herself.

Could this be a secret realm my master from the Upper Realm opened for me? But I have never even heard of such a secret realm. Forget it. Since I am already here, I should first follow this strange fellow and explore this secret realm.
