"The Secret Realm is emerging?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng let out a light chuckle and replied, "Then, let's head over and check it out."
Be it the appearance of a treasure or the surfacing of the Secret Realm, as the City Lord, he needed to inspect it personally.
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale responded by propelling forward through the azure Divine Light toward the surging waves, generating an impressive display of power.
The disturbance in this area grew intense, with the Divine Light piercing the heavens, and already some rogue cultivators had arrived to probe what was happening.
At that moment, a sudden burst of demon Qi erupted from the heart of the Great Dream Marsh, charging toward them in massive surges, causing the faces of those onlookers to pale in terror.
"What in the world is that!"
"It's a Demon King—a peak-level one at that—it's been attracted here!"
"We're finished, completely finished!"
These cultivators scrambled away in panic.In truth, apart from a handful of False Core Cultivators, the majority who had gathered to investigate were merely at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Facing a Third Rank Demon King amid the vast expanse of the Great Dream Marsh meant certain death for them.
With so many fleeing together now, as long as they could outpace a few others, survival might still be possible.
"That's a Whale King, and there's someone riding on this Whale King!"
"It's the City Lord and the City Lord's Wife!"
"Salutations, City Lord! Salutations, City Lord's Wife!"
The subtle demon Qi radiating from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale pressed down even from a distance, making numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators feel weighed down, their mana thrown into chaos, struggling for breath, their complexions ashen.
Yet, upon spotting the pair—a man and a woman—standing together atop the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, enveloped in swirling Chaos Qi, their features indistinct but exuding an otherworldly grace, they swiftly identified Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, and called out their greetings with fervor.
Learning that the arrivals were the Dream City Lord and his Wife, rather than some feral Demon King from the Great Dream Marsh, every cultivator there exhaled in relief.
Lu Changsheng gestured for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale to ease its oppressive aura, since even that alone might squash some Foundation Establishment Cultivators flat.
"Why does the City Lord's spiritual pet seem even more frightening now? I can hardly draw breath just from its proximity."
"Is this the same Whale King as before? It appears far more imposing than I recall. Back then, it only had one horn, but now there are two, looking just like Dragon Horns!"
The gathered cultivators gazed upon the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale with a mix of astonishment and awe.
Normally, they wouldn't get anywhere near a supreme Demon King like this.
Still, a few among them observed how the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had transformed since past times.
"Hold on, what's that over there!"
"That body's a hundred feet in length—it looks like... a Demon King!"
"Have the City Lord and his Wife ventured into the depths of the Great Dream Marsh to slay a Demon King?"
"I think I felt a horrifying ripple from the Great Dream Marsh's core earlier—could that have been the City Lord and his Wife taking down a Demon King?"
As the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale drew closer to the spot where the Divine Light soared upward, eyes caught sight of a massive whale, scarred and chained, trailing in the wake of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
Though this colossal whale's entire form had its demonic and malevolent aura suppressed, appearing lifeless,
Judging by its sheer scale, it was clearly a formidable Third Rank Demon King of dread repute!
Suddenly, shock rippled through the crowd like a colossal tide, as they stared up at Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian on the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale with profound respect, holding their breaths in silence.
"It truly is the Secret Realm."
Before Lu Changsheng lay a enormous swirling vortex of wind, from which the heaven-piercing Divine Light poured forth.
From within this vortex, he sensed traces of spatial disturbances and an archaic presence unlike anything in the Great Dream Marsh.
"This Secret Realm probably lies under the Dream Swamp Sea; it might have surfaced because of the Spiritual Whale's tribulation during its breakthrough, or perhaps due to my husband's clash with the Flood Dragon King affecting the Sea Eye, leading to the Secret Realm's appearance."
Hong Lian examined the scene ahead and offered her thoughts.
"Spiritual Whale, are you able to part this section of the sea?"
Lu Changsheng inquired of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale responded, unleashing the might of a Fourth Rank Demon King, poised to act without delay.
"Hold on."
Lu Changsheng halted it swiftly, inwardly noting how this creature was so eager and forceful, then turned to the distant cultivators with a firm order, "Everyone, fall back a hundred miles."
The cultivators, hearing his command, felt a pang of regret but understood that a Secret Realm like this was far beyond their grasp, so they paid their respects and fled as streaks of light.
After most had departed, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale emitted a deep rumble, sending waves of energy from its pair of dragon horns, which turned back the waters of the vortex before them.
"This, this, this...."
The retreating cultivators witnessed the spectacle, their faces twisted in dread, shouting out as though they'd encountered a specter.
In their thoughts, what sort of divine abilities and might was this!
They quickly grasped that the City Lord had sent them away not to shoo them off, but to protect them.
Otherwise, the sheer force of this divine technique, with its raging tidal waves, would overwhelm them entirely.
Soon after, Lu Changsheng spotted beneath the vortex a stark, barren cliff of rock, devoid of any vegetation, rising straight up.
Sections of this cliff were crumbling away, exposing a surface that gleamed like blue crystal.
Peering through the crystal, one could glimpse a hazy, luminous island shrouded in mist.
"Once the entire rock cliff sheds its outer layer, will that open the Secret Realm?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes gleamed with brilliant golden radiance as he scrutinized the cliff ahead, where faint streams of invisible restrictions swirled, and hints of spatial aura seeped from the crumbling barriers.
These restrictions were incredibly complex and deep, yet eroded by the passage of time, they were now breaking down on their own.
"Going by this pace, the Secret Realm should open in no more than three months."
Hong Lian's lovely eyes shimmered with a crimson light as she observed the unseen restrictions covering the cliff.
