Chapter 740: Traces of Mother (Second Update)
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
"How is that possible?"
In his memories, the Dragon Emperor had also visited many Secret Realms.
Among them, the one near the Nine Layers Hall of the Lu Family was the most dangerous. It was full of Fierce Beasts. However, those Fierce Beasts liked to stay in places with dense Spiritual Energy, and there were no wild beasts dwelling at the entrance leading to the modern city. Thus, there had always been peace.
Xie Daoyun also managed to regain his Supreme Heavenly Rank strength by continually cultivating after entering the Secret Realm.
However...
Why did the Fierce Beasts suddenly decide to tunnel through?
"Could it be because of the revival of Spiritual Energy?"
That was the only possibility that could make the beasts approach the original entrance.
With the revival of Spiritual Energy in the city, the situation of sparse Spiritual Energy near the entrance no longer exists. Naturally, the Fierce Beasts would approach the entrance of the Secret Realm.
Fang Yu recalled the monsters he encountered in the slow-turning Secret Realm.
All kinds of shapes and sizes, totaling hundreds of thousands.
Over seventy years, he had been killing monsters every moment of every day.
With so many monsters, there were always one or two that stumbled upon the entrance and jumped out.
"Brother Yu, what do we do now?"
"Let's not panic yet... We need to figure out the function of the Secret Realm first. If we can find some places rich in Spiritual Energy, or with Heavenly Treasures, or that can increase the speed of Cultivation, then mark those coordinates first, send our brothers to guard the entrance, and forbid anyone from approaching. If it's a dangerous Secret Realm, seal the entrance. I will teach you some basic Sealing Spirit Arrays, without Spiritual Energy, the monsters naturally won't approach the Secret Realm anymore."
Chen Daotian said, "This method sounds good, but how do we know the function of the Secret Realm?"
"Test it," Fang Yu replied calmly.
"How do we test?"
"Are you freaking using your brain to hold water..." Fang Yu rolled his eyes, "There is a kind of chain on Tiandu Mountain, made from millennium refined iron. Use the chain to trap animals like cattle and sheep, push them into the vortex, then pull them back and observe the changes."
Upon hearing this.
Chen Daotian said, "Damn, how could you even think of such a method, truly worthy of being my idol. I'll send someone to do it right now."
After hanging up the phone.
Fang Yu jumped out of bed.
He turned on the TV, and the news interface was displayed—
"Today's news. Several mutated monsters have appeared in various parts of Jiangzhou, which are harmful and aggressive. The police have currently killed one hundred and twenty-three Rhino Monsters. The rest of the Rhino Monsters are still being pursued. Scientists have examined and researched the dead Rhino Monsters. They found that the Rhino Monsters contain a large amount of high-protein substances, their skin layer is as hard as metal, their flesh is rich in trace elements, and the Rhino horn contains a large amount of medicinal properties, capable of curing human cancers. Citizens are advised not to kill the Rhino Monsters privately to avoid injuries."
"Jiangzhou News Channel. Recently, several Earth black holes have appeared in Jiangzhou. Scientists have discovered that this is due to changes in the Earth's magnetic forces. The situation in the vortex is currently unclear, and all citizens are advised not to approach the black holes casually. Currently, our city has a missing population of thirteen thousand and fifty-two people, and this number is still rising. Additionally, experts advise those so-called Martial Artists to act cautiously, and not to rush in!"
...
Fang Yu only watched two pieces of news before turning off the TV.
He put down the remote control and sighed, "The world has changed drastically, we need to prepare for the battle with those Secret Realms."
With that thought.
Fang Yu went downstairs.
He learned that Ye Wenjun and others were practicing swordsmanship in the backyard.
Without greeting, Fang Yu went straight to his master Fang Ju's room.
Fang Ju was drinking and resting in the room.
Seeing Fang Yu come to visit him, he smiled and said, "You little rascal, now becoming Emperor Yu, you can still bring yourself to see someone as ordinary as me?"
Fang Yu smiled back and said, "Old man, starting to tease me again... In this world, choosing such a path was not my initial desire."
"Stop your nonsense and come inside, sit down."
The two sat down.
Then Fang Ju started, "So, what brings you here?"
"Sometimes, it feels like a dream... Suddenly I became Emperor Yu... In fact, before this, I always thought I was the reincarnation of Dragon Emperor, but later found out it wasn't so. This really affects my judgment. I came to Master to clarify one thing, am I really from the Lu Family?" Fang Yu asked earnestly.
Upon hearing this.
Fang Ju replied, "You are indeed from the Lu Family. Your father Fang Jintian, a Martial Arts Sixth Layer expert, was forced onto a path of no return."
Fang Yu nodded slightly, not at all surprised by the answer.
"And what about my mother, Dan Rou? Where did she really go? The last time you told me she wasn't dead, the world is vast, yet I am confident I can find her. Do you not know any clues at all?"
Seeing Fang Yu's serious persistence.
That made Fang Ju sigh.
Standing up with a worried look, he then said with his hands behind his back, "Before your mother left, she had told me never to tell you about her whereabouts. Unless... you can make the Mandala Flower bloom."
"The Mandala Flower bloom?" Fang Yu took the Mandala, that cold ornament, from his neck. How could this possibly bloom?
Isn't this a joke?
"Master... what else are you hiding from me?!" Fang Yu became anxious.
"This is the last thing... I had planned to take this secret to my grave."
Fang Ju sighed again, "Since I returned to Jiangzhou, every day I've been pondering this question—your path, my path, the path of ordinary people... Later, I realized, your path is destined to be extraordinary. I knew someday you would come and inquire about this. I just didn't expect it to be so soon. Actually, all this time I stayed with the Fang Family, I was waiting for you... Ah, I'm unsure if this is right or wrong, I only know that the bond of blood is something nothing can sever."
Hearing this.
Fang Yu stood still in shock.
The two remained silent for a long time.
Fang Yu finally spoke, "Master..."
Fang Ju raised his hand and said, "Study the Mandala well, it's a very magical thing. It has helped you achieve what you have now, which means it's no simple matter. This is the last little help I can offer you."
"Master starting to be sentimental again." Fang Yu laughed.
"Get going now... I still need to have a good drink." Fang Ju gestured as if to shoo him away.
"Hey, you old man... when I'm free, let's have a good drink together." Fang Yu grabbed the Mandala and returned to his room.
...
In the room.
Fang Yu looked at the Mandala petals again.
This petal that has been with him for many years, from when he wandered in Jiangzhou, became a Martial Artist, then a Cultivator, and finally a Saint-level expert.
It was all granted by this Mandala petal.
He had observed the Mandala so much that he knew exactly how light or heavy, and how thick or thin it was.
"I've studied you for so many years, and I never imagined you still held a secret... What secrets are you hiding?" Fang Yu murmured to himself.
