"I was planning to tell you all about it anyway," Luo Fan said with a calm smile.
"Now that you've all returned, it's the perfect time."
As he spoke, Luo Fan explained to the three of them about the Source Crystals.
After that, he began to describe the situation within the secret realm in detail.
Of course, Luo Fan claimed that the secret realm had been accidentally discovered by his Space Worm clone.
At that moment, the three of them grew visibly excited.
Just then, Babata suddenly appeared.
Originally, Babata had been playing games inside the Virtual Universe.
However, a moment earlier on Mars, Luo Feng's Golden-Horned Beast true body had released its own Domain after mastering it.
So when the spaceship's alarm went off, Babata split off a portion of his consciousness to investigate.
He had assumed that Luo Feng himself had achieved a breakthrough, but after asking, he learned that Luo Fan had given him some kind of treasure.
Now, hearing Luo Fan's words, Babata's face was filled with shock.
"That's impossible! Back then, my master used a secret technique to envelop a region spanning over a thousand light-years around Earth."
"He even scanned that entire area himself, and there wasn't any sign of a secret realm!"
"If there had been one, I would've known immediately!"
At this moment, Babata's face was full of disbelief, confusion, and doubt.
Luo Fan shrugged.
"Who knows?"
"Maybe it only appeared sometime during the past fifty thousand years."
"After all, some hidden secret realms are extremely difficult to detect."
"It could be that this one just happened to emerge in these fifty thousand years."
Hearing that, Babata could only accept the explanation with a reluctant nod.
Luo Feng, Thor, and Hong all stared at Luo Fan with eyes full of longing.
Seeing their expressions, Luo Fan said directly,
"All right, all right. I was planning to take you all there anyway."
"But before that, you two need to request leave from the Myriad Leaf Secret Realm and the Flowrock Secret Realm first."
Hearing this, the two of them didn't hesitate. They immediately entered the Virtual Universe to ask their mentors for leave from their respective secret realms.
When they had come out earlier, they had only taken leave for a few days.
So now, both needed to formally request permission from their instructors.
The reason they had joined the Myriad Leaf and Flowrock Secret Realms in the first place was because those two realms were relatively lenient.
If they had joined the Virtual Universe Company, things would have been very different.
They would have been scheduled endlessly, including life-and-death training and all sorts of mandatory trials.
Even holidays there came only once every hundred years.
That was exactly why the two had chosen not to join the Virtual Universe Company.
As for Luo Feng, there was no need for any of that.
After all, he hadn't joined any organization yet.
"When are we going to visit that secret realm?"
"Or maybe you could just give us the coordinates? Your child was just born, after all."
Thor hesitated for a moment, speaking cautiously.
He knew Luo Fan's child had only recently been born, so he didn't want to trouble him by asking him to go personally.
Luo Fan replied simply,
"My avatar will take you there."
"There are many of my avatars within the secret realm right now," Luo Fan continued. "When the time comes, they'll guide you to your respective regions."
The three of them nodded upon hearing this and stood up to leave.
However, after Luo Feng rose to his feet, he hesitated for a moment before sitting back down.
"My current body is only at the Planetary Level. It's better to let my Golden-Horned Beast true body go instead."
"Besides, Xu Xin is about to give birth soon."
Because Xu Xin had used many valuable cosmic resources to enhance their child's potential, the baby had not yet been born.
Thor and Hong both nodded in understanding.
They then accompanied Luo Feng aboard his spaceship.
Next to Luo Feng's Golden-Horned Beast true body stood one of Luo Fan's Space Worm avatars.
After the two departed, Luo Fan went back to check on his children.
Though the twins had only been born a short while ago, they could already walk, run, and even fly.
They could also say a few simple words.
Like "Papa," "Mama," "Grandpa," and "Grandma."
What they drank daily was a specially formulated nutrient solution Luo Fan had purchased from the Universe Galaxy Bank.
Each meal was worth over a hundred million universe coins!
These were customized potions crafted by cosmic alchemists.
Normally, only immortals would buy such things to gift to their descendants.
But Luo Fan was simply spending lavishly because he could.
…
Meanwhile, Thor and Hong had already arrived on Mars.
They knew Luo Feng's Golden-Horned Beast true body was aboard a spaceship there.
After boarding, under the guidance of Luo Fan's avatar, they set off toward the secret realm.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.
Babata stared at the secret realm entrance displayed in the external simulation, still unable to fully believe it.
"So there really is a secret realm…"
Luo Feng and the others, however, were visibly excited.
Seeing their expressions, Luo Fan's face grew serious as he spoke,
"Don't be careless, the three of you."
"Especially you two, Hong and Thor."
"Luo Feng has a clone, and his Core isn't in the Golden-Horned Beast true body, so he's relatively safer."
"But the two of you must be extremely careful!"
"There are even World Lord–level beings inside the secret realm!"
"And there are plenty of Domain Lord and Universe-level secret realm creatures as well!"
The three nodded upon hearing this, their expressions turning cautious.
Taking advantage of the moment, Luo Fan quickly established a task.
[Mission: Escort Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor to the Law Source Secret Realm. Reward: Luck +100,000; Comprehension +10,000; Domain Lord–level Water Source Crystal ×10.]
Luo Fan's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the rewards.
Domain Lord–level Water Source Crystals!
And ten thousand Comprehension points!
At present, his Comprehension had already reached over ninety thousand.
Another ten thousand points would push him past one hundred thousand!
Every time Luo Fan's Comprehension reached a tenfold milestone, whether one thousand or ten thousand, he would experience a breakthrough in enlightenment.
He was certain that upon reaching one hundred thousand Comprehension, he would very likely enter a state of sudden enlightenment.
This opportunity for insight was one he needed to seize carefully.
Moreover, Luo Fan now finally knew the name of this secret realm.
Previously, he had not known what it was called.
Now he finally knew the name of this secret realm was the Law Source Secret Realm.
Soon, the three entered the realm.
Since they entered together, they stayed close to one another.
At this moment, the system's task completion sound also echoed in Luo Fan's mind.
He didn't immediately claim the reward, preferring to wait and make some preparations first.
Once inside the secret realm, they didn't need Luo Fan to explain, the area before them was clearly the Thunder Region!
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and massive bolts of lightning surged everywhere.
Thor carefully sensed the surroundings and immediately noticed something different.
"My Domain here… its power has tripled!"
Hong and Luo Feng, on the other hand, realized that for them, not only had their Domains not strengthened, but their power had actually been reduced by about thirty percent.
As the three stepped out of the spaceship and began to feel the environment, a wormhole suddenly appeared in front of them.
By now, the three were already accustomed to sudden wormhole appearances.
In the next moment, a Space Worm avatar, transformed into its true form, emerged from the wormhole.
"Thor, stay here. I'll take Hong and Luo Feng to their respective regions."
