At noon, under the blazing sun, countless rays of dazzling sunlight streamed through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating the forest. Even this hidden Gorge was bright and cheerful, devoid of any cold or gloomy feeling.
Under a large tree in the Gorge sat a young man dressed in rugged attire—Sun Zhe, who had just emerged from seclusion. He casually perched on a rough old tree root, his legs spread apart, looking very relaxed and at ease. The Fine Iron Long Sword leaned against his left side, within easy reach.
In front of him was a campfire, surrounded by a circle of dry wood, with flames burning fiercely. Sun Zhe held a large skewer of meat over the bright red flames, continuously turning it.
Before entering the Northern Mang Secret Realm, Sun Zhe had only prepared some dry rations in his Ethereal Ring. Most of the meat he had was obtained from hunting beasts in the secret realm. Undoubtedly, the meat from these beasts was far superior to ordinary meat—not only was it tender and flavorful, but it also contained a lot of energy. After all, these beasts were known for their physical strength, and almost every muscle was filled with pure energy. Sun Zhe's body had become much stronger recently, partly due to his daily consumption of this fine meat.
"Heh heh, my grilling skills have improved quite a bit lately..." Watching as the chunks of meat gradually cooked, Sun Zhe chuckled to himself.
Since entering the Northern Mang Secret Realm, Sun Zhe had spent more than half a month here. He had used about three days for seclusion and advancement; most of the remaining time was spent searching for spiritual herbs and treasures. According to the map in his hand, Sun Zhe had explored many places. Although he hadn't found any Divine Weapons, he had collected quite a few spiritual herbs. Naturally, the beasts guarding those herbs had all met their end at Sun Zhe's hands.
Now, Sun Zhe's cultivation level was no longer what it had been when he first arrived. After successfully advancing, he did not stop his training; instead, he took out more than a dozen bottles filled with pills granted by the Sect to enhance cultivation. Although these pills were quite valuable, Fang Yuan did not hold back at all in order to strengthen the competitiveness of Xuan Lei Sect disciples in the secret realm.
Based on Sun Zhe's speculation, other disciples entering the secret realm likely also had some pills for rapid cultivation improvement—especially those true core disciples; they would definitely have received plenty from the Sect. This is one of the benefits of having Sect influence; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be scrambling to enter those major Sects.
With the assistance of these dozen or so pills, Sun Zhe's cultivation skyrocketed from just entering the Thunder Master Realm directly to reaching the peak of Two-Star Thunder Master. After more than ten days of experience and training, he naturally broke through the barrier of Two-Star Thunder Master and successfully became a formidable Three-Star Thunder Master!
Moreover, after stepping into the Thunder Master Realm, Sun Zhe was already able to skillfully integrate Thunder Power into his Martial Arts. With the enhancement from Thunder Power, the power of his Martial Arts nearly doubled. Coupled with his Three-Star Thunder Master cultivation level, most beasts he encountered stood no chance.
However, one thing surprised Sun Zhe: despite traversing over ten ridges in this area, he hadn't encountered a single person—not just from Xuan Lei Sect's other nine members but even from any other sects.
"Could it be that this Northern Mang Secret Realm is truly that vast? Or are these people..."
While thinking, Sun Zhe continuously rotated the piece of meat in his hand. Accompanied by the sizzling sound of grilling, golden droplets of oil slowly seeped out from the meat, and a rich aroma spread through the air. Even Sun Zhe couldn't help but feel a bit greedy; after running around for an entire morning, he was already starving.
"Alright!"
After sniffing the air, Sun Zhe could no longer wait. He unceremoniously tore off a chunk with his hands and began to eat heartily. The golden grease smeared across his lips, but he didn't care; in this wilderness, there was no need to worry about appearances.
Just then, the ground seemed to tremble slightly. Sun Zhe, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly changed his expression and stood up abruptly. His Long Sword was instantly in hand, and a terrifying gleam shot from his narrowed eyes.
"Roar..."
A deafening roar echoed from the distant mountains. As this immense sound reverberated, the entire Mountain Valley where Sun Zhe was located trembled gently, causing countless flowers and trees to quiver slightly. Even Sun Zhe himself swayed involuntarily.
At that moment, a series of continuous roars emerged from the mountains. Shadows sprang out from various parts of the range; upon closer inspection, these shadows were ferocious beasts. They rushed out of their lairs one by one, growling towards the source of the sound as if responding to the massive roar.
Seeing this astonishing scene, even the usually calm Sun Zhe's expression changed. He realized that there were so many beasts hidden within these mountains, including several at the peak of the second tier—powerful creatures that could rival the Seven Star Thunder Master. Even now, facing them would likely result in more defeats than victories for Sun Zhe.
"What on earth is that?"
Wiping the grease from his lips, Sun Zhe unconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. His gaze turned towards the depths of the forest, a hint of confusion flashing in his deep-set eyes.
In the third layer of the secret realm, although the first layer where Sun Zhe currently found himself was relatively less dangerous, this was only relative; danger in a secret realm was always unpredictable.
Even in this first layer, there were still many places that should not be entered—such as deep within this dense forest where the roars originated. According to previous disciples who had entered, this place was said to be filled with countless corpses of young talents; even those who forcibly raised their cultivation to that of a Seven Star Thunder Master had met their end here.
Listening to the enduring roar, Sun Zhe's eyes revealed a rare hesitation. In fact, with his current strength, continuing to search here was just right; if luck was on his side, he might stumble upon one or two Divine Weapons and Spiritual Treasures. However, venturing deeper into the dense forest would likely not guarantee such finds. On the other hand, entering the depths of the forest would naturally increase the chances of obtaining treasures, significantly enhancing his strength, which aligned with his purpose for coming here.
Risk is always proportional to reward; the greater the risk, the greater the potential gain. There has never been anything in this world that comes without effort.
"Roar..." The deafening roar sounded again, but this time it was noticeably weaker than at the beginning, mixed with a hint of urgency.
"Enough! How can one achieve anything by hesitating?"
With a firm decision in his heart, Sun Zhe once again strapped his Long Sword onto his back. With a wave of his right hand, the burning fire was immediately extinguished. He turned and vanished from his original spot in an instant. Upon closer inspection, one could see a White Figure flickering in and out of sight as it raced deeper into the forest, and along this path, not a single beast was able to detect his presence.
