Chapter 131: Chapter 131 – Secret Realm

Standing in front of the murals, Chen Heng thought about the changes that had happened to Song Qi.

Before, Song Qi had been cowardly and weak, and he was just an ordinary young man who did not know much about the world.

However, he had become a different person after that day.

Not only did he become much more mature, but he also knew his situation clearly and took the initiative to ask Chen Heng for help to change the situation. He could even take out the Bright Moon Foundation Technique to give to Chen Heng.

From then onwards, many of the things that he did made Chen Heng quite surprised; he was completely different from the original Song Qi.

These changes were not things that could happen in just one night.

This was especially so when thinking about their experiences in the historical remnant. It was as if Song Qi already knew everything about this place.

Initially, Chen Heng had suspected if Song Qi had been possessed, but now, knowing that he had gone back in time, everything made sense.For the future Song Qi to go back to his old body, it was only natural that his personality would seem different.

Moreover, this also explained how he had so much knowledge.

After all, he had gone back in time, so he would naturally know many things about the past.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng suddenly felt enlightened.

Before, he had never considered the possibility of Song Qi going back in time because compared to being possessed, this seemed much more unlikely.

However, going back in time was indeed possible—after all, the very same thing had happened to Chen Heng.

If this had happened to him, why couldn’t it happen to someone else?

With how vast the world was, it was not strange for a similar thing to happen to someone else.Song Qi was an example of this.

Following this, a more important question appeared in Chen Heng’s mind: Just who had left this mural behind?

That person had been able to predict the changes in Song Qi and knew that he would come to this secret realm. Given this, that person would most likely be an extremely powerful figure in this world.

Why did such a person leave behind these murals in this place?

“Teacher…” Chen Heng felt quite confused as he asked, “was it the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect’s people who left behind these murals?”

His gaze was calm as he asked emotionlessly.

Dan Qingzi felt quite confused, as well as angry, “Of course not. It was most likely left behind by the person who stole our resources! That damned thief not only stole our resources but damaged our secret realm and left behind something like this.”

He looked quite angry and sounded infuriated.

He was not Chen Heng, and because he had not experienced those things, he did not think that those murals referred to Song Qi and Chen Heng.Chen Heng nodded.

Since they were not left behind by the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect’s people, they were most likely left behind by the person who had taken away the things here.

However, why would such a powerful person who could predict the future take away the things here?

Even though the resources here were good, compared to someone of that level, they should not hold any appeal.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng looked back at the murals.

As he looked at them, the murals started to go through changes, and the people and scenes became hazy.

Chen Heng seemed to be able to see runes flying about, slowly forming a rune formation.

“This is…”

Looking at this, Chen Heng felt quite startled and had a bad feeling.

In the next moment, his senses were proven right.A strange power appeared, spewing out and covering Chen Heng’s entire body.

In the next moment, a mysterious and complicated rune formation was formed, covering Chen Heng and dragging him away.

Where he had been, the murals once again returned to normal before quickly fading.

After Chen Heng was teleported away, the murals disappeared as if they had never been there.

A hazy feeling spread out, and Chen Heng understood what had happened to him.

Before he had understood what was happening, he had triggered the rune formation and been teleported away.

That rune formation had been hidden by the murals, most likely by the person who had left behind the murals to teleport someone here.

Did I take the blow for someone else? Chen Heng thought to himself while feeling the darkness and haziness before him.Based on the scenes from the murals, originally, it should have been Song Qi who found the murals.

As such, the hidden rune formation should have been for Song Qi.

In other words, Chen Heng had been transported here in Song Qi’s stead.

In the next moment, the scenery before him changed.

The hazy darkness disappeared and was replaced by light.

Chen Heng opened his eyes and looked around.

After being teleported, he had come to a different secret realm.

Compared to the previous secret realm, this one looked quite strange.

All around him, golden flames engulfed the surroundings, burning in all directions.

Flames covered everything, and only the center of this secret realm was empty.

At the center was an altar, on which was a violet-gold crystal.

The surging flames made it seem like a world of flames, containing a formless energy that could shake people’s hearts.

Even though the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect’s secret realm before was quite impressive, compared to this one, it looked very ordinary.

Looking at this world of flames, Chen Heng was quite confused but soon came back to his senses.

Even though this secret realm looked quite mighty, it did not have much.

There was only the altar and the violet-gold crystal.

After looking around, Chen Heng frowned and called out, “Teacher?”

He called a few times but received no reply.

On his back, the faint silver light that the Silver Splendor Sword gave off was a bit dim.

For some reason, during the teleportation process, the sword seemed to have been affected or damaged, and even Dan Qingzi within it seemed to have received some damage.

It seemed that he could not wake up for the time being.

Sensing this, Chen Heng could not help but frown.

This secret realm was filled with a mysterious and unique power, repelling anything that did not belong to this secret realm.

Perhaps this was why Dan Qingzi had been injured and fallen silent.

Standing there, Chen Heng could feel that the secret realm’s repulsion towards him was quite weak for some reason.

“How do I leave from here?”

He looked around as he frowned.

He had come to a strange place and there was not a single person to talk to.

If Dan Qingzi was here, he could at least discuss with him any methods to escape.

However, there was not even a person to ask.

Chen Heng looked around before his gaze fell on the altar—precisely speaking, the violet-gold crystal on the altar.

It was not very big and about as big as an infant’s fist.

The crystal gave off a faint violet-gold light, and it was as if it contained a mystical power.

It looked like some kind of unique treasure and was the only thing in this secret realm.
