Chapter 504 The Mysterious Secret Realm
"Asura Bloodhand is sealed here?" Dorian glanced at the emerald green pool, his eyes full of curiosity.
He was quite familiar with the Celestia Vale secret realm. However, the Tiger Mount secret realm felt fresh to him, with many differences compared to Celestia Vale. Unlike the grandeur of Celestia Vale, Tiger Mount was more tranquil.
"The divine spring water in this Tranquil Lake is the nemesis of demonic energy, capable of weakening Asura Bloodhand's power to the greatest extent," Francis casually explained, then performed a spell to lift the restriction on the surface of the pool.
A mass of black demonic energy surged and then landed beside them. The pale-faced Asura Bloodhand, still shaken, bowed to Francis and said, "Thank you for releasing me."
Francis, with a businesslike attitude, reminded him bluntly, "Don't thank me just yet. You should know why we are here to find you."
Asura Bloodhand glanced at Ethan and nodded. "I see. You want to ask me about that secret realm."
"I need you to take me to the place you mentioned right away," Ethan ordered.
"No problem. I promised you before that I would take you to find that secret realm, and I won't go back on my word," Asura Bloodhand quickly agreed.
"Smart move, but I'm still not entirely comfortable letting you go just like that. So you'll have to endure a bit more." Before Asura Bloodhand could react, Francis suddenly produced a willow branch, which transformed into specks of green light and entered Asura Bloodhand's body.
"You... you sealed my Sea of Qi?" Asura Bloodhand's eyes widened in shock.
"Without this, given your strength, once you recover, Ethan wouldn't be a match for you. This way, I can safely let you go. For the sake of your freedom, you shouldn't have any objections, right?" Francis said with a smile.
"Fine. Although I can't exert my full master-level strength, my physical strength is enough. Entering the secret realm shouldn't be a problem." Asura Bloodhand nodded.
"You're really not coming with us?" Ethan asked, staring at Francis.
"If I go with you, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. The key to this trip is secrecy; the fewer people who know, the better," Francis reminded him seriously.
"Alright, I hope this trip will be fruitful." Ethan agreed and nodded reluctantly.
"Go ahead, but I must remind you, in another secret realm, you won't be able to come to the Tiger Mount secret realm. So be very careful," Francis advised earnestly.
Ethan nodded, opened a spatial passage, and left the Tiger Mount secret realm with Asura Bloodhand and Dorian.
To maintain secrecy, Ethan and his group did not alert anyone from the Wilson family and quietly set off.
With Asura Bloodhand as a living map, they headed straight for the location of the secret realm.
"Ethan, those two are fine, but Jessie shouldn't come with us on this adventure; she's not strong enough," As they were about to reach their destination, Asura Bloodhand suddenly reminded Ethan.
"What do you mean?" Ethan frowned.
"I mean, that secret realm is too strange and has certain dangers," Asura Bloodhand explained seriously.
"He's right. Jessie should wait outside for us to come out." Elmer nodded in agreement.
"Mom, maybe you should stay outside and wait for us?" Ethan looked at Jessie and asked.
This time, he originally didn't plan to bring Jessie along, but she insisted on coming because she was worried, and he couldn't refuse her. However, now that they were really about to go in, he wasn't comfortable letting her follow him into danger.
"We all know you're worried about Ethan, but you might not be able to help. Once inside, you could become a burden," Dorian said, trying to persuade Jessie before she could refuse.
Jessie was momentarily speechless. She was indeed worried about Ethan and felt she had to go, but Dorian's words were true. Although she still harbored some resentment towards Dorian due to her years of captivity, now was not the time to be emotional.
"Fine, I'll wait for you outside." Jessie rolled her eyes but eventually agreed.
Seeing Jessie agree, Ethan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the group had arrived at the pool at the base of the cliff Asura Bloodhand had mentioned.
Just as Asura Bloodhand had said, there was indeed a very smooth large rock.
"This is it. Ordinary people wouldn't find it. I only stumbled upon this secret realm by accident when I hit this rock wall," Asura Bloodhand said to Ethan, pointing at the smooth rock wall.
Ethan raised an eyebrow and asked, "According to what you said before, we have to start navigating a maze once we get in?"
"That's right, but I've already familiarized myself with one route, the path between the dim area and the exit. I can take you back and forth between these two places without any problem. As for other areas, I'm not familiar," Asura Bloodhand explained.
"At least we know how to get out. That's good news for us," Elmer said.
Ethan turned to Jessie and instructed, "Mom, we're going in first. You wait outside, and remember, don't come in alone."
"But how long will you be in there? If I don't hear from you for a long time, I will definitely go in," Jessie said stubbornly.
Ethan was helpless. He didn't know how long they would be inside the secret realm, but letting Jessie follow them into danger was absolutely out of the question.
"How about this, I'll leave a spatial node here, with a five-day limit. If we don't come out within five days, don't go in on your own. Go find Francis and explain the situation. If something really happens to us, he might be able to help, but you going in won't help at all," Ethan said, opening a one-time spatial node to Tiger Mount. This node consumed part of Ethan's super energy and could be activated by Jessie with a spell, but it was a one-way trip.
"Alright, I understand," Jessie nodded, agreeing with Ethan's reasoning.
"This way, we have a backup plan," Elmer was quite satisfied with this arrangement. Francis, after all, was of grandmaster level. If they encountered problems inside, perhaps only someone of grandmaster level could save them.
After arranging for Jessie, Ethan gave Asura Bloodhand a look.
Asura Bloodhand understood and was the first to approach the rock wall. After glancing at Ethan and the others, he placed his palm on the rock wall, revealing a spatial passage.
"This is a reality node. This secret realm is similar to the Celestia Vale secret realm but different from your Tiger Mount secret realm," Dorian couldn't help but marvel at the scene.
"According to you, this secret realm is on the same level as the Celestia Vale secret realm?" Ethan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Who knows? I'm just saying. We'll have to go in and see to judge," Dorian shrugged noncommittally.
"No time to waste. Let's go," Elmer said, diving into the spatial passage first.
Ethan, along with Asura Bloodhand and Dorian, followed closely behind, disappearing from Jessie's sight in an instant.
