Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 271 - 270: The Realm of Grade 1—What Does It Truly Take to Enter?
This somewhat narrow passage seems to head upwards.
Step by step upwards, at the end, it’s getting brighter.
Shen Han advanced cautiously with every step.
His eyes were fixed ahead, constantly on alert for the appearance of dangerous traps.
But the terms that emerged before his eyes were nothing dangerous.
Continuing to step forward, he finally reached the end of the light.
Cautiously poking his head out, he looked outside.
It seemed to be a meadow here, and not far away, there was another stream.
Surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, it felt like a secluded paradise.
Occasional bird chirps, accompanied by the sound of flowing water beside him.
Indeed, it was an ideal place for seclusion.
Following behind Shen Han, Shi Yuezhu and Su Jinyu also stepped onto the grassland.
Seeing the surroundings, the master and disciple’s eyes, which were glowing faintly, widened involuntarily.
The scenery around was truly beautiful.
Standing here, one could faintly smell a floral fragrance.
In a moment, the three all noticed something amiss.
Setting foot in this world, it seemed as if their powers had disappeared.
Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu had experienced the Immortal Extinction Array before, so they were somewhat composed.
But Su Jinyu was not so calm and was quite flustered.
Wanting to return the way they came, as soon as they returned to the passage, their powers seemed to restore.
"Is it the Immortal Extinction Array, Moon Bamboo Peak Master?"
Shen Han looked at Shi Yuezhu and asked.
Regarding arrays, Shen Han already had some understanding, and by his observation, it didn’t seem like the effect of an array.
But being uncertain, Shen Han asked Shi Yuezhu.
Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu also shook her head.
Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she had thought of something.
"At the time, the strongest powerhouse that appeared was at the Peak of Second Grade.
Reaching this point, almost every aspect had reached the extreme.
The strength of the body, thought, enlightenment...
Every aspect conceivable was nearly at the extreme, with no direction for improvement."
As Shi Yuezhu spoke, Su Jinyu, who returned to the passage, carefully walked back again.
Not paying attention to Su Jinyu, Shi Yuezhu continued with a frown.
"I once talked with the Sect Leader about what the First Grade Realm should be like to reach.
In the discussion, they tried to derive a conjecture..."
"Is it the power of laws and rules?"
Shen Han spoke his thoughts, following with his words.
Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu’s eyes turned toward him, looking quite surprised.
"You... how did you know..."
"I guessed..."
This conjecture was something she and the Sect Leader reached after years of experience and insights from cultivating to the Immortal Realm.
Shen Han merely guessed it.
"So, Moon Bamboo Peak Master means that in this world, the Power of Laws was altered by a First-Grade Powerhouse.
That’s why it has effects similar to the Immortal Extinction Array here?"
Shi Yuezhu nodded.
"Perhaps Little Pool Immortal had a different purpose.
It is only under this law that his inheritance can truly be obtained."
Hearing this, Su Jinyu beside her was no longer as worried as before.
Obtaining Little Pool Immortal’s legacy made facing the dangers seem reasonable.
Moreover, from the start of exploring the Secret Realm, there were essentially no deadly traps within it.
This Little Pool Immortal probably wasn’t interested in bullying those entering the Secret Realm.
If he wanted to act, with a single thought, even Shi Yuezhu might not withstand a single move.
Realizing the laws in this world were different, the three became even more cautious.
Without the backing of cultivation and strength, many minor issues had to be taken seriously.
Looking up, this world still seemed somewhat vast.
The three dispersing to seek might be a good idea.
But after some thought, Shen Han rejected this notion.
In an unfamiliar land, even traveling together, they might be caught off guard; let alone separating.
By advancing together, though exploration might slow, they would at least avoid major troubles.
And if there were danger, they could help each other.
Remembering the direction, they began exploring from the left of the stream.
Before exploration, the three entered the passage and retrieved items from their Storage Rings.
They had to know that in this world, even the Space Law of Storage Rings was ineffective.
Along the way, they assured Tianyi Academy of their safety.
Throughout the journey, Shen Han’s gaze held a certain seriousness.
Observing his surroundings for anything unusual.
After walking nearly ten miles, apart from encountering some fruit trees and picking some fruits, nothing was discovered.
No danger, but also no gains.
"Master... will there really be a legacy here..."
Su Jinyu’s patience was indeed lacking, as this was merely half a day’s exploration.
Not even having fully probed this world, Su Jinyu was already considering giving up.
Shi Yuezhu felt somewhat helpless.
In this vast world, setting up such trials.
Could it be that Little Pool Immortal was truly bored, whimsically deciding to test those who came...
Seeing that Su Jinyu really didn’t have much patience, but this was an unfamiliar land.
She dared not let her wander off alone.
After some thought, Shi Yuezhu decided to let her follow behind and not search for unusual circumstances.
As long as she didn’t fall behind, it was fine.
Su Jinyu followed, watching her master and Shen Han walking ahead. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The two seemed to speak little, but only needed to exchange a glance to know how to cooperate.
This level of tacit understanding made Su Jinyu feel something was amiss.
She genuinely felt that there was something different between her master and Shen Han...
In this world, where strength completely vanished, places usually reachable with a leap became slightly challenging to climb.
After Shen Han climbed up first, he immediately extended his hand to pull Shi Yuezhu up.
However, Shi Yuezhu instinctively turned her head slightly, looking at Su Jinyu behind her.
Seeing her gaze directed this way, Shi Yuezhu retracted the hand she had originally extended...
After Su Jinyu reached, allowing Shen Han to pull her up, Shi Yuezhu extended her hand again.
This was probably the first time the two had held hands in almost a year.
In their minds, they unconsciously recalled previous scenarios...
At that time, there was no Su Jinyu by their side to be a hindrance.
Until the sky darkened, the three had explored half of the mountain range.
Along the way, Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu picked quite a few wild fruits.
Su Jinyu now realized the purpose of these wild fruits, that they were food to stave off hunger...
She was somewhat unaccustomed, although she often trained outside.
She’d never been in a situation where food was just wild fruit.
Shen Han didn’t mind whether she ate or not; night was falling soon.
Not knowing how long the training would last here, the food they brought should be saved wherever possible.
Resting here for the night also required warmth.
This time, fortunately, it was still summer, unlike their previous time in Qianyang Country.
It was then late autumn, colder weather, and more susceptible to colds and illnesses.
But even in summer, the nights were still cold.
Shen Han began searching all around for thicker branches, and Shi Yuezhu, understanding, started looking for broader leaves.
Soon, under their cooperation, they built a... cage?
Wrapped outside with vines and covered with leaves, it was considered a small shelter against the cold.
Su Jinyu was somewhat disdainful, but had no choice...
