Hearing this, Andy seemed intrigued.A broad smile spread across his face as he looked at Adrian and said slowly, "Haha, Adrian, you've come to the right person. When it comes to the factions in Central Wasteland, I'd say I know quite a bit."The forces entering this secret realm can be divided into a few main groups. If we're careful, we shouldn't run into the strongest among them."The most formidable faction is Sacred Lunaland. They're incredibly powerful, with several warriors rumored to reside within their sanctuary. These beings have surpassed the Tribulation Stage but remain confined to their territory."Next is the Emerald Pool. This faction consists entirely of women, each possessing astonishing strength. They're as mysterious as they are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs."Third is the Celestial Court, an ancient organization with a vast foundation. In the Celestial Domain, they're known as the ultimate protectors, commanding terrifying celestial soldiers and

Ahead, the golden light pierced the sky with such brilliance that it filled the onlookers with uncontrollable excitement.Many couldn't resist the urge to charge forward, eager to claim the treasure. Nearby, a middle-aged man in a purple robe looked livid."This might be the forbidden zone of the secret realm, where my celestial ancestor is buried!" the man exclaimed, his face twisted in grief and anger, as though mourning a treasure already claimed."Hey, Adrian, look at that man," Andy said with a sly grin. "Don't be fooled by his expression. He's got quite the background. He's the Vice Master of the Quad Aqua Faction."Andy glanced at the purple-robed man and added, "The Quad Aqua Faction was one of the most powerful groups of the ancient era, rivaling even the Celestial Court.""Andy, you reckless vagabond, stop muttering behind my back!" the man, Urias, snapped. "I spared you last time. Are you asking for death now?"Andy's face darkened. "Urias, don't push your luck! Last t

Even a vast empire like Ciawales had to show utmost courtesy when dealing with people from Central Wasteland.A few powerful warriors from the Central Wasteland could easily obliterate the entire Ciawales.The crowd stood frozen, their gazes flickering with hesitation as they debated whether to press forward or reconsider.The ground shook violently beneath them, and the deafening roar of destruction echoed in the air.Amid the shimmering golden light, a formidable barrier had formed. It seemed capable of repelling any intrusion, unsettling the onlookers deeply.They couldn't grasp what was happening, but the idea of retreating was equally tormenting. The allure of the treasure ahead was too strong to ignore.Yet, the golden light served as a dire warning. Moving forward could cost them their lives. Torn between greed and fear, the crowd remained paralyzed.The middle-aged man's earlier words echoed in their minds: stopping or retreating might be their best option to ensure safe

Could entering the secret realm really demand such restraint?Adrian pondered the saying, "A man without sin is guilty when he possesses a treasure," its logic striking a familiar chord. With a faint smile, he replied, "Mr. Finnian, you are absolutely right."Andy, however, impatiently cut in, "Old man, quit rambling. Let's get inside already. Use your treasure to carve an opening!"The elder raised an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise and mild annoyance crossing his face. "So that's why you dragged me out here? To make things easier for you? Heh, I don't offer my help for free."He added, "Let's get one thing straight: if I enter with you, you two brats are responsible for protecting me. If danger comes my way, you step in first."Andy rolled his eyes, but Adrian nodded calmly. "It's a blessing to have you lead us. Of course, we'll protect you."The elder nodded approvingly. "Alright then. Follow me."With a gentle wave of his hand, Finnian's pipe emitted a dazzling golden light

The towering mountain peaks loomed in the distance, interspersed with smaller ones.Finnian smiled faintly and remarked, "This seems to be the third forbidden zone within the Great Dragon Mountain's secret realm. Our luck isn't too bad."Adrian looked surprised. "Mr. Finnian, are there more forbidden zones within this realm?"Finnian chuckled. "This secret realm contains ten forbidden zones, each with its own dangers. One must tread carefully in every one."The tenth forbidden zone is akin to hell. It holds not only ancient demonic beasts but also the undead from a thousand years past. It's a place of unparalleled terror. Entering it is almost certain death."Although he spoke lightly, his words carried undeniable weight. The dangers he described were anything but ordinary.Suddenly, distant tremors echoed. On a far-off mountain peak, a cyan light shot straight into the sky.Finnian smiled again. "Heh, someone couldn't resist. They've stirred up a big mess now."The cyan light
