Ye Fan safely returned from his ascension, and he wanted to visit everyone around him. Then, he planned to send some girls who had little self-defense ability into the second secret realm.

Currently, Ye Fan had moved his temporary refuge from the first secret realm to the second. Sending the girls there gave him more peace of mind since the second secret realm had a complete void layer of protection, making it inaccessible to ordinary immortals and cultivators.

As for whether the second secret realm was absolutely safe, it was not within Ye Fan’s consideration. He just didn’t want the women around him to face more danger.

The girls he needed to send over first included not only the sisters Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting but also Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan, who were all important to him. Yet, he wasn’t sure if he should send all these women to a relatively unfamiliar place because in the second secret realm, there were only a few people, and seeing each other frequently might cause slight awkwardness.

So Ye Fan proposed the idea of relocating the entire Celestial City to the second secret realm.

When he presented this idea to Sang Yuan, Dao Zhen, Xi He, and others, everyone thought Ye Fan’s plan was a bit insane. After all, in their eyes, it was already hard enough to send one person into the second secret realm, let alone an entire city.

Xi He asked, "If the master feels capable of sending Celestial City in, then so be it. But we wonder if the residents of the city will adapt. Going in would feel like being imprisoned, and those cultivators probably wouldn’t want to enter such a cage since resources for cultivation are scarce inside the second secret realm, with little available for improving their cultivation level!"

"What if I just move the ordinary citizens of the city there?" Ye Fan replied.

At this point, Xi He stopped talking as she believed Ye Fan had made up his mind, and saying anything further would be in vain.

With Ye Fan’s current cultivation level, he could bring about earth-shaking changes. Moving an entire city wasn’t too difficult, but the challenge lay in how to get it into the second secret realm in its entirety.

Sang Yuan said, "Young master wants to move the Celestial City, and I support it without reservation. Please start whenever you wish..."

On this issue, Sang Yuan chose to unconditionally support Ye Fan, while Xi He opted for silence, effectively acquiescing to Ye Fan’s actions. Only Dao Zhen sneered and said, "If you move a city in, have you considered what they will eat, use, and how they will live? How will they face unknown dangers? Do you think the citizens would be willing to go?"

Ye Fan replied, "I don’t need their willingness right now. I simply plan to temporarily relocate the cultivators from Celestial City, and let the citizens live freely within it. Since I can move a city, I don’t mind moving an entire country. By transferring such a large plot of land at once, those people will find belonging. Because there, they still have suitable communities. Now with the impending tribulations, the citizens actually prefer finding a haven. What’s the difference between living in the Pan Gu Secret Realm or the second secret realm?"

This left Dao Zhen speechless.

Indeed, if Ye Fan could relocate a population equivalent to a country into the second secret realm, their life there would be quite simple, very similar to staying in the first secret realm without any change in their living environment.

"When do you plan to move the city?" Xi He asked.

"I will fully consider the opinions of ordinary citizens. I will not conceal this matter from them and will even let them choose whether to stay in the Pan Gu Secret Realm or enter the second secret realm. Sang Yuan, I leave the announcement of this to you. You can also spread the news in other places. If any residents wish to relocate to the second secret realm to rebuild their homes, I will move them there..." Ye Fan paused with a sigh, "Although finding a new life for them is a good thing, I’m still worried they may not adapt well to the environment over there. The environment there isn’t the same as a typical secret realm. I need to rebuild the ecosystem, and the sudden influx of people might disrupt it, potentially causing short-term ecological damage..."

The concept of ecology was something even Xi He, who was wise and intelligent, did not fully grasp, let alone Sang Yuan and Dao Zhen.

Since the second secret realm didn’t even have animals, Ye Fan, upon arriving there, would need to recreate an animal ecological environment to ensure their survival. Under these circumstances, microorganisms would interact, altering the ecosystem.

Though Ye Fan foresaw significant challenges, he wasn’t overly concerned. Primarily, he knew that compared to the introduction of a traditional people’s way of living, changes brought about by human civilization were truly detrimental to the ecosystem.

Should Earth’s residents enter the second secret realm, they might bring catastrophic disasters because the industrial materials highly valued by Earth’s humans would inflict irreversible damages on the ecosystem, while ordinary primitive farming had not caused much impact.

Xi He commented, "Since the master has decided, we will support it. For ordinary people, whether they live in the Pan Gu Secret Realm or move to the second secret realm, the impact isn’t significant. Instead, the second secret realm can more give them a sense of home. It might be best for you to handle the explanation for the citizens, Sang Yuan, as all the cultivators in the Pan Gu Secret Realm are now coordinated by you!"

"Okay." Ye Fan nodded and said, "In my initial plan, no cultivator is allowed to enter the second secret realm. This is to prevent cultivators from misbehaving or being infiltrated by evil forces. I simply want to relocate ordinary human residents, and additionally, a few people for protection. At that time, Xi He, you might be one of the people I assign!"

Since Xian Nu was not present, Xi He merely nodded to show her agreement. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Ye Fan looked up at the sky and said, "We’ve discussed everything necessary. Sang Yuan, please notify everyone of the news as soon as possible. For this task, you won’t need to go. Let Xi He and Dao Zhen accompany me. Once I return, I might commence moving the entire city. The transition will take only a day or two, so you must relay all my intentions to the people in the shortest time to ensure those who want to stay, can have their choice fully respected!"
