After pushing the door open, Lin Su quickly realized that a strange yet dignified middle-aged man was standing in Mu Yuxing's office.
"Does Senior Mu have a guest?"
Observing the man who was looking at him with interest, Lin Su couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Who is this? Should I excuse myself?"
While he was still pondering, the middle-aged man spoke in a calm and gentle voice, "Are you Zhennan's child?"
Huh?
Upon hearing his father's name mentioned, Lin Su was momentarily taken aback, then he quickly realized, "Guildmaster?"
"Just call me Uncle Qi," the middle-aged man said with a gentle smile, confirming Lin Su's guess.
So it really was the Guildmaster of the Beast Taming Union who knew his father.
In fact, Lin Su hadn't seen the Guildmaster for some time, and because of his mother's instructions, he had considered paying a visit as a junior, but surprisingly he was told that the Guildmaster had left and hadn't returned yet.
So, had he just returned?
"Hello, Uncle Qi."
The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile, "You're here to see Deputy Guildmaster Mu, right? Go ahead and chat, I'll leave you two."
"Alright." Lin Su nodded and turned to Mu Yuxing, "Senior Mu, we should be heading to the Nirvana Pool the day after tomorrow, right? I don't know much about the Nirvana Pool. Is there anything I need to be aware of?"
"The Nirvana Pool, huh." Mu Yuxing's face showed a hint of understanding as he turned to look at Qi Yunhan, "Given that Guildmaster Qi is here, he will probably take you there the day after tomorrow, so it's better to let him explain."
As he spoke, Mu Yuxing gave Qi Yunhan a suggestive look.
Watching Mu Yuxing's gesture of passing the buck, Qi Yunhan couldn't help but smile wryly, "I'll tell you about the Nirvana Pool, since that secret realm is one of the two controlled by the Beast Taming Union in the Southern Territory, and I am more familiar with it."
"Secret realm?" Lin Su asked with some curiosity. He had come across the term in materials provided by the Beast Taming Union, but there didn't seem to be any detailed description of what a secret realm was in those documents.
"Indeed, the Nirvana Pool is located within a secret realm," Qi Yunhan noticed Lin Su's ignorance and began to explain simply, "A secret realm is an independent small space that exists because of certain reasons attached to the supernatural. Think of them as tiny worlds."
"What?!" Lin Su's expression stiffened.
There's such a thing in the supernatural world?
Weren't all the changes in the two worlds caused by the Ghost Energy Stone?
What's the deal with this secret realm? Why doesn't Earth have them?
Could it be that secret realms are formed by the supernatural world itself for some reasons? Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"The emergence of secret realms can be traced back to two thousand years ago," Qi Yunhan, not noticing the change in Lin Su's expression, took it as normal astonishment and continued, "about two or three hundred years after Ghost Energy Stones appeared in various places, secret realms began to randomly appear, varying in size."
"Newly born secret realms contained no living beings but could naturally generate supernatural resources. Moreover, like the Beast Taming Space, they could accelerate the growth of beasts, and the environment within could also aid the improvement of Beast Tamers' Beast Taming Spaces. They could even hasten the training speed of martial artists."
"Whether for beasts, Beast Tamers, or martial artists, such places are treasures, and initially, the contention over each secret realm led to large-scale battles among the strong," Qi Yunhan said with a smile. "Now, two thousand years later, the secret realms all over have their owners and are unlikely to change hands easily. Only when a new secret realm emerges does exploration and conflict occur."
Whether it's beasts or humans, both can gain strength faster within them?
Lin Su couldn't help but be astonished; just this point alone filled him with envy.
Not to mention that supernatural resources also naturally arise within these secret realms.
Who would have thought that such marvelous places existed in the supernatural world... If only Earth had them too...
Wait a second!
His expression shifted slightly.
"Uncle Qi, was it two or three hundred years after the appearance of the Ghost Energy Stone that the first secret realm emerged?"
"Yes," Qi Yunhan nodded. "What about it?"
"Nothing... Nothing," Lin Su quickly composed his expression, but his heart was roiling with waves of shock.
Two to three hundred years!
The catastrophe on Earth had appeared merely two hundred years ago.
Could this mean that within the next hundred years, Earth might also see the emergence of a similar secret realm?
If lucky, perhaps as early as tomorrow; if not, maybe a hundred years from now.
It seems I need to find information about secret realms and the history from two thousand years ago in the supernatural world. That way, no matter when Earth's secret realms appear, I would be able to seize the initiative.
At this moment, Lin Su couldn't continue to probe further; he could only suppress this thought and then asked, "Uncle Qi, is there anything I should be aware of when entering the secret realm where the Nirvana Pool is located?"
"That secret realm is known as the Nirvana Secret Realm. Its most important resource is the Nirvana Pool, located in the realm's central area," explained Qi Yunhan. "Besides the Nirvana Pool, the Nirvana Secret Realm also contains environments suitable for various types of pet beasts that can accelerate their growth. These environments periodically spawn supernatural resources."
"The Nirvana Secret Realm is open for two days each time, and when you leave, you can take away any supernatural resources you find."
