Behind the stone, he saw a landscape completely different from the barren coastal region outside.

He also felt that he could pass through the stone at any time and enter that rich land.

Without thinking, he stepped inside.

Everything within was real.

The spiritual energy there was so dense it was beyond his imagination.

It could be said that spiritual plants covered the ground.

Thousand year spiritual herbs were as common as wild grass and even ten thousand year ones could be seen everywhere.

Along with such abundance came countless dangerous demonic beasts.

He only explored the outermost area and still encountered life threatening dangers.

He survived only because of his special eyes.

At the same time, he obtained many opportunities and successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment.

After advancing, a stream of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

The information stated that long ago, a spirit insight divine beast had been hunted by a godlike being, broke through the boundary, and descended into this world.

Soon after arriving in the depths of the sea, it died from severe injuries.

The flesh and bones of the divine beast emitted immense power, preventing any living being from approaching.

After countless years, the corpse of the fallen beast gradually evolved into a small world.

As time passed, the energy within that small world became saturated.

As a result, the divine beast’s origin power began to leak outward beyond the small world.

Originally, once this leakage reached a certain extent, after about ten years or so, the small world formed from the divine beast’s remains would manifest in the outside world, which was what people commonly called the emergence of a secret realm.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Zhiyi once rested near the boundary membrane of the small world formed by the spirit insight divine beast, his special physique actually attracted the beast’s origin power.

It transformed into spiritual mist and was absorbed by him.

Most of the origin power that had been leaking outward was taken in by him.

As a result, the emergence of the secret realm was delayed.

Later, he continuously used his special eyes to observe the boundary membrane.

Since the power of his eyes originated from the spirit insight divine beast as he kept injecting that power into the membrane, he gradually opened a small passage.

After entering, he reached Foundation Establishment.

His special physique attracted even more of the spirit insight divine beast’s power, allowing him to obtain some information about the secret realm.

After stabilizing his cultivation, he organized the information he had received.

The realm’s size was unknown, but its spiritual energy was extremely dense and its resources abundant.

All living things there were unusually large.

There was no sun, yet two celestial bodies emitted gentle heat and white light.

Inside, there was no night.

It was always as bright as day.

According to the information he received, the power of a divine beast was beyond the imagination of people in this world.

Even the tiniest fraction of its power released at every moment would be astonishing.

This power also formed a kind of rule.

Once the spiritual energy inside the White Silver Secret Realm became fully saturated, it would begin leaking outward through the boundary membrane.

After roughly a hundred years, the secret realm would emerge.

Including the decades before Chen Qingzhi’s discovery, it was estimated that it would appear in about ten years.

However, Chen Zhiyi had continuously absorbed the spirit insight divine beast’s origin power leaking from the boundary, delaying its emergence.

He had even broken through the membrane and entered the realm, disrupting its natural cycle.

This made the timing of its appearance uncertain.

Chen Zhiyi actually felt fortunate about this.

He was glad he had entered before the secret realm emerged.

Otherwise, once it appeared, it would certainly be occupied by major sects and powerful families.

People like them, with no background and low cultivation, would have no chance.

Because of this, he treasured his time inside the realm.

He cultivated while exploring, searching for resources and a way out, but could not find an exit.

After about seventy days, he was suddenly teleported out.

He reappeared in the same cave.

Outside, Chen Qingzhi had been anxiously waiting.

When he saw him, he immediately spoke with concern.

Only then did Chen Zhiyi learn that he had suddenly walked into the stone and disappeared right in front of Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi had tried every method but could not break the stone or find him nearby.

With no other options, he could only wait outside. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He waited for seven days before Chen Zhiyi reappeared.

Hearing this, Chen Zhiyi was shocked.

Inside the realm, he had used an hourglass to measure time.

By his records, he had stayed for at least two months.

There was actually a time difference between the inside and outside of the secret realm, something he had neither known nor expected.

After coming out, his ability improved significantly after reaching Foundation Establishment.

His vision could now penetrate much farther and directly see through the boundary membrane into the secret realm.

He could also sense the spirit insight divine beast’s origin power outside the membrane.

This time, he no longer needed to wait for it to turn into mist.

He could actively absorb it using his eyes.

Although the amount he absorbed was negligible compared to the total leaking power, it was still effective.

He still had many things he wanted to test, such as whether he could break the membrane again and bring Chen Qingzhi inside.

However, he had been gone too long.

If he did not return, Chen Yufei would worry.

After discussing it, the brothers decided to return to White Silver City first, rest, and then come back to continue their experiments.

But what they did not expect was that Chen Zhiyi, without a Foundation Establishment Pill, successfully broke through on his own.

This caused a huge shock among those who knew him.

Especially the captain of the hunting team he once belonged to, a seasoned and shrewd Golden Core cultivator.
