"There are some, but the cost is worth it. It results in absorbing more qi in the air, making the large area surrounding this place barren of qi.But rather than a bad side effect, in my opinion, this is something good.

Cultivators will be less likely to check this place. They will think the area has already exhausted all its potential."

This didn't happen often, but it was also not that rare. The area around the cavern entrance was also not that popular.

It was very deserted, and MingYue was sure only a few cultivators would find out the area had become barren of Qi.

"That is good then, but it would be better if you had multiple places like this mine."

"I agree, Aunt, we are looking for it," MingYue replied.

She then activated the portal.

Walking inside, Emily felt like they were returning back to their world. The air was filled with mana.

They walked through the gate and were greeted with a big, vast city. MingYue took out a few ID cards from her storage ring.

"These can be used to go around the city. I will not be long."

She then excused herself and disappeared from where she stood. In the secret realm, MingYue could now move as she wished with Vesa's help.

"Where should we wait, Mom?" Emily asked.

"Let's look around for now. I am curious how this city works," Luca said. She could see many of her world's influences; it was clear this was all made by Alex.

Seeing all this made her feel proud.

Meanwhile, MingYue appeared on the island that held the sect members. She saw MingHao now talking with his friends as he was taking a break.

MingYue released her qi subtly, making MingHao turn his gaze. Seeing MingYue standing a distance away, he quickly stood up, "Sorry guys, something came up. Let's talk again later."

His friends looked at him with confusion, as it was out of character for MingHao to suddenly leave. But as he was already nowhere to be seen, they just continued their talking.

None of them felt worried as they believed in the secret realm's security.

Till now, there has been zero crime. It's not that no one thought to do something bad, but Vesa always intervened right when the crime happened. If someone wanted to steal, Vesa would take them after they picked something up.

When they wanted to kill someone before the knife plunged into the victim, they would also be taken by Vesa. This allowed for a very safe place to live.

"Sis, you have returned?"

"Yes, just a moment ago. I will not stay long. How is your cultivation?"

MingHao smiled, releasing his qi.

"Not bad, late core formation stage. When did you have your breakthrough?"

"Not long after you left."

"How long have I been gone now?" MingYue asked as she didn't know how much the time difference was.

The fractured world she came from had many weird phenomena: green lightning, weird gravity, and dimensional fissures. Who knew how long she had spent in that world?

"Around a month."

"I see. Did anything big happen while I was gone?"

"Nothing, it's just that LianFang has put up some requests."

"What did she want?"

"She wants to send a group of people from her clan to go outside searching for YangFei."

"I see… Will she go out too?"

"If it's allowed, yes, but she knows she needs to be here to manage her people."

MingYue thought it over, "It's fine. Just let my master take care of her clan. She can go out, but it must be with you. Bring four people with you."

MingHao's eyes lit up. It had been a while since he had gone out from the secret realm. He also wanted to test out his strength.

"Ok, Sis, I will quickly go and prepare."

He then quickly ran back to his friends, making MingYue chuckle.

"Wait, come back, you brat! I am not finished," MingYue called out in a stern tone, but her lips were smiling.

MingHao froze, turned his head, and asked, "What else, Sis?"

MingYue didn't reply and just gestured for him to come closer. "Close your eyes," she ordered.

She then flicked his forehead, making MingHao protest, "Ouch, Sis, it hurts."

"Who said you can open your eyes? And stop exaggerating," she said with a chuckle.

'Vesa, carve the rune,' MingYue ordered through her mind.

Vesa then materialized in front of MingHao, her hand flickering with green energy.

"Don't move, no matter what you feel."

MingHao responded with a nod. He could feel a weird energy appear in front of him. He didn't know what his sister planned, but he believed she wouldn't hurt him.

Warm energy then started washing all over his body. He felt something start appearing on his forehead. It was like another Qi core.

Looking at MingHao's expression made MingYue feel relieved. Her plan was to send him toward the central region to gain experience.

After the process finished, MingHao opened his eyes, but his sister was nowhere to be seen. "Thanks, Sis," he mumbled, then quickly returned to his friends.

MingYue was already back at her home. She slumped on the couch, then opened a fresh can of soda while listening to the report from Vesa.

Right now, the BaiYue sect's main power came from Lian Fang's people and the goblin army. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The number of cultivators she had was still small, but this didn't mean she couldn't order the civilians to make their move.

With modern weapons, MingYue was sure they could take on a cultivator head-on, as long as it was not someone above the golden core realm.

'The only problem is the central region. With my current force, there should be no problem expanding in this region,' MingYue thought.

She then said out loud, "Vesa, call QingWa here."

"Alright, Queen."

Not long after, the door to her house opened, and QingWa lowered her head, greeting MingYue, "You called me, miss?"
