After entering the Pavilion Among Flowers, Huo Hai stopped paying attention to those who had entered alongside him. He moved through the place with great caution while observing his surroundings. Gradually, Huo Hai confirmed that this truly was a secret realm.
This secret realm was utterly different from those he had seen before. The ones he had seen previously were either the purely natural White Lotus Secret Realm, where people could not live, or the Fallen Soul Swamp secret realm, built by a single person and abandoned for a very long time.
This secret realm had always been tended by the people of the Pavilion Among Flowers. Within it were green mountains and clear waters, everything flourishing with vibrant life. Strange mountains and perilous peaks rose everywhere, while the ground bloomed with clusters of flowers. If Huo Hai had not known something of the Pavilion Among Flowers, he might even have thought the people living here were like the women of the Drifting Flower Pavilion. What a pity. Huo Hai shook his head with regret.
The secret realm covered an enormous area, but with Huo Hai's speed, he still made a full circuit of it in a short time. There were no dangerous creatures within the secret realm, so Huo Hai no longer needed to tread so cautiously.
This entire secret realm was not much inferior to the one within Fallen Soul Swamp, though it could not compare with the White Lotus Secret Realm in size. The White Lotus Secret Realm was at least as large as one kingdom among the Southern Nations.
The secret realm before him was somewhat smaller than an ordinary first-rate Sect. As Huo Hai traveled, he discovered quite a few villages and towns. Everyone here seemed to live fairly well—at least, on the surface.
