A few days later. Li Shiren looked at the group in front of him, their faces determined, a hint of blood vitality on them, and satisfaction showed in his eyes. Although there were still some issues during battle, things had improved significantly from the beginning, at least there were no more rookie mistakes. "We should return in a few more days," Li Shiren silently thought. Since this training was an attempt by the family, he didn't bring much food when they set out. The sea didn't lack meat, and since it was everyone's first training, it shouldn't be prolonged. "Uncle Ren, what is that over there?" Li Zhihao pointed towards the far northwest direction, where the Profound Origin Continent could be vaguely seen, the place he referred to likely not within Yunping State, but it wasn't too far either. Upon hearing this, Li Shiren looked in that direction, only to see a huge bubble encompassing a small heaven and earth, with spiritual energy forming mist and lush vegetation within— a pity the scene was very blurry, and the distance was too far, so that if it were not at night, he wouldn't have been able to see the bubble at all. "Uncle Ren, is this a mirage?" Li Zhihao asked, not understanding. Li Shiren shook his head, a complex expression on his face, and whispered in a voice only he could hear, "That is a secret realm, but it seems this realm is about to return to the membrane." Although Li Shiren had never entered a secret realm, he had seen the opening and closing of a secret realm of the Beast Taming Sect. The scene he was witnessing was the same as when one closed. When a secret realm opened, actually, there wasn't much disturbance. This was because the appearance of a secret realm was actually the occurrence of a small crack in the membrane, and if a secret realm was nearby, it would simply "slide" into the Profound Origin Continent, so the disturbance was naturally not great.@@@@ But when the membrane repaired itself, the Heavenly Dao didn't allow the secret realm to remain on the Profound Origin Continent, so it had to be forcibly pulled out. During this process, the phenomenon that Li Shiren and the others saw would appear. "Such a pity!" Li Shiren lamented softly. "Why have you returned so soon? Has something happened?" Li Shiqing, seeing the anxious expression on Li Shiren's face, asked with concern. Standing by, Li Zhirui also rose to his feet. The majority of the clansmen who had gone on this training venture were the young members of the family. If anything had happened to them, the Li family's power would suffer a severe blow, potentially leading to generational gaps. Li Zhirui was present in the main hall to seek advice from Li Shiqing on practicing the Visualization Skill due to his meridian issues that hindered him from absorbing spiritual energy and enhancing his mana. He couldn't possibly just idle away his days, so he focused on practicing the Visualization Skill. Moreover, after several days of devoted practice, Li Zhirui had made considerable progress in the second realm and was on the cusp of breaking through to the third realm. This prompted him to seek Li Shiqing's help, only to encounter a hurried Li Shiren. "It's nothing, it's nothing, everyone has returned safely," Li Shiren quickly clarified, noticing that his demeanor had caused a misunderstanding and hastily explained, "The reason we came back early is because I discovered a secret realm within the territory of the Green Sword Sect!" Li Shiren then went on to recount the details, and Li Shiqing, who was previously very shocked, gradually calmed down. A secret realm that had already closed, and moreover, one located on Green Sword Sect's territory, was destined not to be related to the Li family. "Secret realm?" Li Zhirui suddenly spoke, "Could this be the reason the Green Sword Sect made moves against the Marketplace?" Before this revelation, Li Zhirui had never suspected Green Sword Sect, because destroying the Marketplace didn't benefit them. If they destroyed it just for the sake of destruction, then given the many years of standoff between the two major Sects, Yunqing Marketplace would have been demolished countless times. But now, hearing the news that Li Shiren had brought back, Li Zhirui connected the two events and the suspicion towards the Green Sword Sect suddenly surged. "Are you suggesting that Green Sword Sect intentionally arranged for cultivators to attack the Marketplace, diverting Yuanming Sect's attention to this matter, while they took the opportunity to explore the secret realm?" Li Shiqing quickly grasped the implication of Li Zhirui's words and, after thinking it through, realized it was indeed possible. Li Zhirui nodded, "Although I'm not aware of the rank of that secret realm, it's certainly a place infused with an abundance of resources, something Green Sword Sect would naturally wish to keep secret by all means." Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Li Shiren was reminded of the flash of Spirit Light that had crossed his mind when he learned of this affair; he had felt something amiss at the time and it turned out to be the case indeed. "Do you think we should inform the Yuanming Sect about this message?" Li Shiqing furrowed his brow, uncertain. Telling Yuanming Sect might bring certain rewards, but once the message leaked, it could provoke the hostility of the Green Sword Sect, or even targeted aggression.
