125: Day 1 activities concluded

Lin Chuan looked at the animal skin contract in his hand and said with a solemn expression, "I have a way to fuse Blazing Fire Peak's secret realm foundation with that of Tianquan Peak. When the time comes, I can allocate some Spirit Stones specifically to Blazing Fire Peak. Would you be willing?"

Peak Master Lie Huo was extremely surprised to hear Lin Chuan's words and said, "What did you say? Fuse secret realm foundations? Does such a method really exist in this world?"

"I can't say, it just depends on whether you are willing or not," Lin Chuan replied.

The Peak Master of Blazing Fire Peak hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Anyway, no one goes to the Blazing Fire Peak's Secret Realm nowadays, so I'm willing. But the secret realm foundation ultimately belongs to the Sect, so I need to ask the Sect Master for his opinion on this point."

Lin Chuan handed the animal skin back to Peak Master Lie Huo and smiled, "That is only right."

But Peak Master Lie Huo didn't take it, instead saying, "Keep it with you for now. I'll go find the Sect Master immediately and meet up at your residence later."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Chuan to react, he directly flew off.

Lin Chuan looked at Peak Master Lie Huo's receding back and shook his head speechlessly. Being a part-time Deacon of the Hall of Enforcement is quite convenient, huh? He just completely ignored Tianquan Peak's no-fly rule.

Lin Chuan returned to his residence, found the spiritual tea sent by the Sect, brewed a pot, and sat on a lounge chair in the courtyard to wait.

After a short while, Peak Master Lie Huo arrived with a clearly displeased Spiritual Void Master. He sat down at the table as if he owned the place and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You can speak now. What was the urgent matter that made you call me here? You've delayed me and Elder from running a Dungeon Instance!" Spiritual Void Master said dissatisfiedly.

Only then did Peak Master Lie Huo recount the matter to Spiritual Void Master, waiting for his answer.

After hearing it, Spiritual Void Master fell directly into deep thought. After a long while, he asked Lin Chuan, "Do you really have a method to fuse secret realm foundations?"

Lin Chuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Spiritual Void Master hesitated for a moment and then said, "Lin Chuan, I'll be blunt. You know there aren't many Secret Realms in the entire Southern Region. Since the founding of my Spirit Realm Sect nearly 3,000 years ago, we have only occupied five secret realm foundations as our basis for survival. If they are fused now, will there be a way to separate them again in the future?"

After hearing this, Lin Chuan inquired with the System in his mind, then shook his head and said, "Once fused, they cannot be separated."

Peak Master Lie Huo interjected, "Oh, Sect Master, anyway, no one goes to my Blazing Fire Peak's Secret Realm now. Whether it exists or not, what's the difference?"

Spiritual Void Master ignored Peak Master Lie Huo's words and instead said to Lin Chuan, "Little Lin, I know that with your abilities, you will leave my Spirit Realm Sect sooner or later. When you leave, will this Secret Realm still exist?"

Hearing the Sect Master say this, Lin Chuan instantly understood Spiritual Void Master's concern. He was simply afraid that one day when Lin Chuan was gone and the Secret Realms were fused, no one would be able to create Secret Realms like the Dungeon anymore. At that time, the very foundation of the Spirit Realm Sect would be shaken.

"Haha, Sect Master, you actually don't need to worry about this. Even if one day I no longer open this Secret Realm and you need to remodel it, the fused secret realm foundation will also bring special functions to the new Secret Realm." Lin Chuan did not tell him everything the System had said, only mentioning it vaguely.

"I've said all I can. It just depends on whether you, Sect Master, are willing to take a gamble," Lin Chuan said after taking a sip of tea.

As soon as these words were spoken, Spiritual Void Master fell into silence again, not speaking for a long time. Clearly, a struggle was going on in his heart.

Peak Master Lie Huo also understood what Spiritual Void Master was worried about at this time and couldn't help but sit aside, not daring to speak.

After a long while, Spiritual Void Master sighed and said, "In that case, I'll believe you this once. I'll take this gamble!"

Hearing Spiritual Void Master's words, Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Haha, Sect Head, rest assured, you won't be disappointed. Additionally, I should say that I currently have no intention of leaving the Spirit Realm Sect."

After saying that, Lin Chuan thought to himself, 'If I leave, where else am I going to earn so many Spirit Stones?'

Since the decision had been made, Spiritual Void Master naturally wouldn't stop it anymore. He directly said to Peak Master Lie Huo, "I agree to this matter. Hand over the secret realm foundation contract to Lin Kid!"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Chuan pull the animal skin from his robe. He couldn't help but glare at Peak Master Lie Huo. Good grief, if he had really encountered someone with malicious intent, the Secret Realm would already belong to someone else by now.

Peak Master Lie Huo scratched his head sheepishly and quickly asked Lin Chuan, "Do I need to prepare anything for fusing the Secret Realms?"

Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Just remember to clear everyone out of Blazing Fire Peak. Just give me one day, and don't let anyone up the mountain."

In fact, fusing the two peaks' Secret Realms was just an instantaneous matter for the System, but it was better to cover it up. Otherwise, the sudden disappearance of the Blazing Fire Peak's secret realm foundation would indeed easily arouse suspicion.

Peak Master Lie Huo agreed, "Rest assured, I'll go back now and have all the Disciples of Blazing Fire Peak withdraw. They can stay at the Hall of Enforcement for the time being."

After saying that, he left directly.

Lin Chuan looked at the animal skin contract in his hand and felt expectant. He wondered what new content this Secret Realm upgrade would produce.

At this time, inside the Secret Realm, the Monster Siege event was nearing its end. After Jian Wuxie's group of four had just killed another Octopus Monster, they looked at the countdown for the event's end and quickly found a random Goblin to enter battle with.

On the Second Prince's side, they had stopped their actions and began to summon the soldiers who participated in the event to gather, wanting to collect intelligence books to exchange for rewards.

The team currently ranked first was, without exception, the team of Jian Wenxuan and the Monk Dehai. With the Green Plum Spirit Child, a Summoner, present, fighting those monsters seemed extremely easy.

Although they had also joined the fun during the period and risked their lives to challenge that mechanical Minotaur Giant Beast—only to be turned into ice sculptures and stand there for a while—overall, their points were still in a leading state.

As the countdown ended, the System's voice finally rang out.

【Today's Monster Siege event has ended. A total of 120,684 monsters were killed this time, reaching the condition for the universal reward.】

【The universal reward has been sent to everyone's mailboxes. Please check them yourselves.】

【The team ranked first in today's Monster Siege event points is: Jian Wenxuan, Akunda, Fo Ben Wu Xiang, Qing Mei Zhu Ma. Please keep up the good work.】

Listening to the System's broadcast, Jian Wenxuan laughed, "Haha, we are temporarily the first-place team. Now let's see if that brat of mine still dares to be arrogant with me!"

Monk Dehai smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, it's only temporarily first. There are still three days left in the event. It's still too early to tell who will ultimately win. We must not be careless."

"Old Monk, you're such a buzzkill!" Jian Wenxuan said dissatisfiedly.

On the side, Akunda said, "It is truly an honor to be able to fight with all of you today. I am just a Loose Cultivator from the Eastern Region. Thank you all for not looking down on me."

Jian Wenxuan quickly said, "Don't say that. Your strength is also extraordinary, Fellow Daoist. Although you are a Loose Cultivator, you are also quite famous in the Eastern Region. There's no need to be so modest."

Monk Dehai also smiled and said, "Yes, Fellow Daoist is being too humble."

Green Plum Spirit Child reminded, "Don't forget to contact us before the event starts tomorrow. Let's continue together."

Akunda nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
