"The size of the map doesn't matter to us. When have we ever entered a place without being targeted? We're always different from others."
"Exactly, exactly, two little unlucky souls."
Gouzi poked its head out and jumped into Fang Xiaoyu's arms.
In the past, it was almost always with Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu because they were very weak then, and it had to take care of many things for them.
Now, as their strength grew, there was less need for Gouzi, so it enjoyed its leisure, usually resting in the hammer and recovering its lightning body.
It was only a few days ago, during Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's tribulation and Old Fang's tribulation, that it stepped out and absorbed quite a bit of the Heavenly Dao's lightning.
"I wonder what's different about us this time as we enter the secret realm. I'm so looking forward to it."
"Looking forward to what? Isn't it always a near-death experience?"
Fang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
Seeing her like that, Wan Lei reached out and affectionately ruffled her small head.
"Hey, don't be jealous. It's just a few more subordinates, what's the big deal? You're still the only one in my heart."
"Pfft, shameless."
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at the people around her, who were looking awkward and wishing they could dig a hole in the ground with their toes. A faint blush crept onto her face.
"It's strange that the Dun family hasn't sent any tribulation-level cultivators to hunt us down since we've come to their territory."
Wan Lei scanned his surroundings.
"Come on, the Dun family only has two old monsters at the tribulation level, one in the lower layer and one in the middle layer. If they really dared to fight us, who knows who would kill whom. If they dare to come, we'll just kill them and kick the Dun family out of the nine major forces."
Fang Xiaoyu said it casually, but the people nearby broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn it, does having power make such a difference? To kick out a peak power that had stood for fifty thousand years just like that?
"They don't even know we're here, so how can they intercept us? I guess it'll be like the Fire Immortal Secret Realm. They'll intercept us when we come out."
"How can they intercept? Each family sends one tribulation-level cultivator? That's too high a price to pay!
When we weren't strong enough, they were willing to pay a price to kill us. But now that we can face them, they're no longer willing to pay a huge price to kill us. Instead, they'd rather coexist peacefully with us, as they don't want to be wounded.
Now is the safest time for us. Strength is the absolute principle of self-protection."
"So, we can't live too comfortably. We still need to find some excitement periodically, like exploring secret realms!"
Young Master Lei chuckled, took Little Yu's hand, and flew towards the storm.
The onlookers, seeing Wan Lei and the two of them leave, breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, those who were still hesitant immediately decided not to go into the secret realm.
If any conflict arose inside, who could possibly defeat these two?
However, they didn't stand idly by. They immediately spread the news of Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu entering the secret realm. After all, sharing first-hand gossip was everyone's instinct, especially since the world was never short of people with a strong desire to share.
And Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, with their miracle of always exploring secret realms whenever they opened, always being targeted, and always surviving, successfully earned the title of "Secret Realm Killers."
At this moment, the two great killers finally entered the "delicate and charming" secret realm.
It was a dark, terrifying, and eerie world.
In the sky, a sickly green moon hung high. The surroundings were dark and silent. As far as the eye could see, thousands upon thousands of malevolent spirits roamed this world.
These malevolent spirits wandered aimlessly, like walking corpses, each emaciated, with sunken eyes, some with severed limbs, and bloodstains of red and green hanging from their mouths.
In the eyes of every malevolent spirit, there was an inextinguishable resentment, as if they had suffered inhuman torture and extreme terror before their deaths.
"Wife, did we take the wrong path? This looks like the Ghost Immortal Secret Realm, not the Earth Immortal Secret Realm."
Wan Lei looked at the malevolent spirits before him, finding it hard to believe.
Since it was the Earth Immortal, why not include something related to earth elements?
Look at the Wood Immortal Secret Realm, it had a dark forest, which was reasonable.
Look at the Metal Immortal Secret Realm, although there wasn't much metal, it allowed people to comprehend the rules of the apocalypse.
Look at the Water Immortal Secret Realm, with its clear purple rain descending, allowing you to comprehend the destructive path of water engulfing all life.
Look at the Fire Immortal Secret Realm, it was a pure elemental world, with a hundred fires contending, pushing the elemental fire to its extreme.
Then look at your Earth Immortal Secret Realm. Why so many malevolent spirits? What does that have to do with earth? What about the final Ghost Immortal Secret Realm?
Are you stealing business?
"Whatever secret realm it is, as long as I can complete missions and get rewards, it's fine. Anyway, we're always different from others. Even in the same world, it's hard to encounter cultivators from the Lei Feng Realm..."
Before Fang Xiaoyu could finish speaking, she saw the sound of tearing and gnawing coming from not far away. Looking closely, she saw several malevolent spirits clinging to a cultivator, biting them desperately. The cultivator's chest had been completely torn open, and his cheeks and neck were also completely mangled.
He wasn't quite dead yet, but he couldn't even scream. He could only kick his legs feebly, twitching as if in despair.
A moment later, a soul floated out from the cultivator's body.
The soul looked around blankly, then recalled the terror it had experienced before death.
The surrounding malevolent spirits dispersed. The newly dead malevolent spirit's eyes were filled with resentment. Roaring and howling, it frantically destroyed everything around it.
"I just came in, I haven't gained anything, why! Why kill me like this? I can't die like this! The great revenge from my fellow disciple's insult hasn't been avenged, and my beloved junior sister is still waiting for me to return! If I die, she'll marry someone else!
I can't die like this! Why! Why! Heaven, why are you so unfair!!!"
Resentment became the cultivator's sole thought.
"It's not surprising. I remember that Earth Immortal himself had a lot of resentment."
Gouzi sighed.
"Before he died, he was just a mortal, but he experienced countless unimaginable human sufferings. After he died, he had a lot of resentment. Because he met several other companions, under their constant guidance, he found the right path and wasn't overwhelmed by resentment. However, most of his divine abilities were related to devouring souls with resentment."
"So, this time, the theme that the Earth Immortal wants us to understand is resentment?"
Wan Lei surveyed the surroundings and suddenly noticed a streak of light rapidly flying towards them.
He reached out and grabbed it, but before he could open it to see, he heard a stern, low shout:
"Scram."
