Bai Qi looked blankly at the rapidly changing landscape below for a long time before finally processing what was happening.

He had finally reached Level Four and was planning to go and earn more points. Why was he suddenly taken away?

Bai Qi looked at the black claw gripping him, then at Bai Qiucha who appeared unaffected and totally accustomed to this. He couldn’t help but ask, “Master, may I ask where we are going?”

“Training,” Bai Heguang simply responded, and then Jiuyou Darkbird tossed them onto its back.

“Dad, you took Bai Qi as your apprentice?” Bai Qiucha, managing to steady herself, asked with surprise.

“Hm.”

Bai Heguang nodded, glancing at Bai Qi, “Are you already at the fourth stage?”

Bai Qi, “Yes, I just advanced yesterday.”

Bai Heguang remained silent for a while before replying, “Good, you can train with Cha.”

“Recently, has there been any abnormality in your beast?”

Absorbing the power of death can also affect the beast?

Bai Qi was startled at the question, he quickly checked Alpha and Gamma’s condition. Confirming they were okay, he shook his head, “No, there’s no difference from before.”

Bai Heguang nodded slightly, then fell into silence. Bai Qiucha, however, couldn’t help but chime in, “When did dad take you as his apprentice? During the last mission?”

Bai Qi nodded, “Yes, I have just been accepted as his disciple a few days before my return.”

With Bai Qi’s confirmation, Bai Qiucha fully accepted the fact that her father had taken Bai Qi as his student, although it took some time to process.

Becoming a Four Stage Beast Master in just six months, Bai Qi’s talent was freakish. It wasn’t too surprising that her father would accept him as a disciple.

However, if this were to be revealed, it would certainly cause an uproar.

That’s okay, it would at least keep the paparazzi off him.

The speed of the Jiuyou Darkbird was very fast, quickly leaving the area of Songlin City, but Bai Heguang showed no signs of stopping and kept going west.

Bai Qi moved closer to Bai Qiucha, speaking in a low voice, “Cha, where is Master intending to take us?”

“Probably to some secret realm tower or wilderness. Dad always thinks that practical combat is much more effective than theoretical teaching.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded in understanding. When white and Old Qin called him for special training, there wasn’t any redundant dialogue; it was simply a pressure intimidation.

Listening to Bai Qiucha, it seemed that Bai Heguang wanted to get him used to the Power of Death through real combat. Sure, the intensity would be much stronger than the training, but it shouldn’t be too excessive.

After all, with Bai Qiucha present, Bai Heguang would not place his son in danger.

He didn’t know what kind of secret realm he would encounter. Perhaps he could obtain some Mythical Resources?

The wilderness was not bad either. The materials freshly harvested from ferocious beasts had the best effects.

Full of anticipation, Bai Qi finally reached their destination.

“Thousand Cliff Stone Forest?”

Bai Qi looked down at the stone columns reaching straight into the sky like long spears, with an expression of surprise.

The Federation had vast territories. Although the Starry Sky Gate and the snare had strong control over various places, some frontier areas were still relatively poorly managed.

And this Thousand Cliff Stone Forest was one of them.

Legend has it that this place was once the dwelling of a legendary beast of the Ferocious Beast Tribe, but it was forcibly expelled by the Federation’s army. The resulting battles made it an inhospitable environment for life.

Both the Federation and the ferocious beasts were too lazy to take control of this area. Gradually, it became a buffer zone between the Ferocious Beast Tribe and the Federation.

However, many people were still willing to take risks and venture here. Apart from encountering some beasts they wouldn’t normally meet, some lucky ones could even stumble upon secret realms.

Looking around, Bai Qi could already discern several forms swiftly hiding themselves. Among the cliffs, he could also see a few dilapidated secret realm gates.

Secret Realm Tower, ferocious beasts; the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest had it all. This must be the location for their training.

Sure enough, Bai Heguang led them through the stone columns to a stone tower that was brimming with a sense of antiquity.

However, Bai Heguang didn’t seem to have the intention of decoding the Secret Realm Tower, instead, he drove the Jiuyou Darkbird directly toward the gate of the Secret Realm Tower.

Damn, is this how a Titled Legendary beasts master deals with the Secret Realm Gate?

Just as the Jiuyou Darkbird was about to hit the gate, Bai Qi felt an invisible fluctuation spreading from the Jiuyou Darkbird. The gate of the stone tower shattered upon contact with the fluctuation, revealing a gray space vortex.

Is this an abandoned secret realm?

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, about to warn Bai Heguang to be careful, but both Bai Heguang and Bai Qiucha remained calm, watching as the Jiuyou Darkbird entered the space vortex.

There was no terrifying fluctuation as Bai Qi had expected. The process of the Jiuyou Darkbird passing through the space vortex was quite smooth. Bai Qi just felt the scene before him flicker and, suddenly, he was in a bizarre world.

This place was all gray, with varying colored orbs scattered about much like a cosmos, albeit more chaotic. He could also see some other things flashing past him occasionally.

“This is a space rift. Anyone who isn’t a Legend, if they fall in here, basically get blown into nothingness by the space storm. You possess the Breaking the Void talent, and in the future, you will unavoidably be dealing with abandoned secret realms, so remember to be careful.”

Bai Heguang looked at Bai Qi’s curious demeanor and reminded him.

“I understand, thank you for the reminder, Teacher.”

Bai Qi nodded, looking at the Jiuyou Darkbird and the invisible region around it that blocked the chaotic space flow, he seemed to have a revelation.

Emperor’s Domain, an ability that only Legendary creatures could master, allowed one to create a space solely belonging to oneself. In that space, you were the creator!

They relied on the Emperor’s Domain to withstand the chaotic flow of space and time. No wonder only Legends could enter here.

However, would Bai Heguang bring them here just to let them train within this space rift?

“Found it. This one has drifted quite far this time, it must be of considerable age.”

The Jiuyou Darkbird flew inside the space rift for a while. Upon sighting a grey-green luminous ball, it immediately reversed direction and rushed towards it.

This time, the Jiuyou Darkbird seemingly faced some resistance, slowing slightly, but only for a moment, before breaking through the crystal wall on the surface of the luminous ball and diving into it.

Bai Qi, who was inside the Jiuyou Darkbird’s domain, felt as if he was in a bubble, and presently, seemed to get squeezed into a larger one.

Finally, when the Jiuyou Darkbird completely entered the luminous ball, the scene before Bai Qi changed again, transporting him into an unfamiliar world.

This world appeared to be completely made up of woods. Looking around, Bai Qi could barely see the edge of the forest.

However, although those trees seemed lush, Bai Qi couldn’t feel any sign of vitality, instead, they resembled a dying old man, exuding an aura of decay.

Bai Heguang dismounted from the Jiuyou Darkbird, turned to Bai Qi, and asked, “Doesn’t the atmosphere here feel bizarre?”

“These trees seem to have been eroded by some kind of power, and their vitality seems weak.”

The feeling he got was similar to the Withering Power of Alpha, but it was stronger here and appeared more pure and concentrated.

Upon hearing this, Bai Heguang shook his head and said, “It isn’t that the vitality of these trees is faint, it’s that this world is nearing its death.”

“The world is dying?”

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, clearly, he hadn’t thought of this.

“Do you know the origin of the Secret Realm Tower?”

Bai Qi nodded, knowing that Bai Heguang was about to give him a history lesson. After a bit of thought, he replied, “The Legendary Beast Master can transform their Beast Control Space into a special secret realm, which is presented in the form of a tower, and that’s the Secret Realm Tower.”

“That’s the explanation given in the Federation’s textbooks, but it’s not entirely correct.”

Bai Heguang looked at the gray-green sky above his head, and said, “A Beast Master’s Beast Control Space was originally just a Soul Space and as the Beast Master’s Spirit Power gradually grew, the Beast Control Space would also become increasingly powerful and begin to resemble a real world.”

“However, a spirit world is merely illusionary. To truly become a mini world, it needs to transition from illusion to reality. The simplest way to achieve this is to attach it to the crystal wall of the main world and use the power of the main world to alter the attributes of the Beast Control Space.”

“But outside the crystal wall of the main world is not always tranquil. To ensure that it isn’t blown away by the space storm, a peg is needed to firmly anchor the Beast Control Space onto the crystal wall of the main world.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately understood and asked in surprise, “Is this peg the Secret Realm Tower?”

“Exactly, with the Secret Realm Tower serving as the connection, the Beast Control Space can harness the power of the crystal wall to transform into a miniature world. As long as the Secret Realm Tower remains, even if the Beast Master dies, this mini world will continue to adhere to the crystal wall of the main world. This is what we commonly refer to as a Secret Realm.”

Having said this, Bai Heguang paused, then continued, “When you become a Legendary, you will have to create your own Secret Realm Tower. Remember, regardless of what type you choose, the most basic element is stability.”

“If someone forcibly destroys your Secret Realm Tower before you die, you can imagine the consequences.”

“I understand!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi repeatedly nodded. Although he was slightly taken aback by Bai Heguang mentioning matters related to becoming a Legendary so early on, Bai Qi still took it to heart.

Was a Secret Realm equivalent to a miniature world?

He had always thought that a Secret Realm was merely an ordinary space. But now that it was actually a small world, would improving it entail turning it into a large world?

And as the Beast Master and owner of this world, wouldn’t that make him a creator?

But for a Beast Control Space to transform from an illusion into a real mini world, it had to be attached to the crystal wall of the main world. To attach it to the crystal wall without getting blown away by the space storms required the pull of the Secret Realm Tower.

To sum up in one sentence.

The Secret Realm Tower was important!

The Secret Realm Tower was important!

The Secret Realm Tower was important!

Important things need to be repeated three times.

It seemed that when building his own Secret Realm Tower in the future, he had to make sure to design it as an indestructible stronghold. Otherwise, if it can be easily breached like that stone tower just now, he would be doomed.

Yes, he should pay attention to the defense measures of other people’s Secret Realm Towers in the future and incorporate any good ones into his own.

As for whether others will be able to break into his Secret Realm Tower after he dies?

By then he would be dead and gone, why would he care whether they could break into his Secret Realm Tower?
