After walking in the dark for so long, he still wasn't used to the light. He stood there for a moment, his eyes tightly shut for two minutes. Then he slowly opened his eyelids. Zhang Xuan was stunned.
"Where is this place?"
Under the bright light, Gong Nanling found himself standing under a dome. Exquisite relief sculptures were carved all around. Those carvings were something Gong Nanling had never seen before.
On the dome, there seemed to be an enormous overhead light. However, the resplendent light that it emitted didn't seem like a light, but rather a sky full of stars.
Gong Nanling did not look at it too much and continued forward through the only tunnel.
After five minutes of walking, the light dimmed again.
The surroundings were completely empty. It was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of heartbeats.
Gong Nanling pursed his lips and quickened his pace.
As he walked, he encouraged himself.
As they walked forward, the air seemed to become thinner and thinner, and even their breathing became hurried.
"Could this be a dead end?"
Gong Nanling stopped, placed his hands on his hips, and leaned his body forward as he took two deep breaths.
It was impossible to turn back now.
"Even if I die here today, I must continue walking forward."
After encouraging himself, he continued to walk forward.
Beep, beep...
The sound of water droplets could be heard, and the air was filled with an ethereal vapor.
Gong Nanling frowned and looked to the side.
A wisp of clear and cold light fell down from above, and within the light and shadow, there were droplets of water that were constantly falling down. Around him were dark rocks.
"Secret Realm?"
Gong Nanling was stunned and his gaze tightened. Look carefully. The scenery in this place was extraordinary. There was grass, flowers, and a few small trees.
"Young Master Jun..." "Young Master Liuli …"
He continued walking forward and started calling for Jun Liuli.
A few more shouts, and only the fainter echoes answered him.
"Young Master Jun..." "Young Master Liuli …"
Gong Nanling continued to call out.
Still no one responded.
Gong Nanling's heart skipped a beat as he thought in his heart.
"Ye Tian probably wouldn't lie to me. Could it be, this is not a 'secret realm'? "
He raised his head and glanced at the wisp of light.
The mist gently sprinkled out, like smoke.2
This scene was truly beautiful.
"Young Master Jun …"
Gong Nanling shouted as he continued to move forward.
A moment later.
An extremely weak voice could be heard.
"Young Master Gong …"
"Young Master Jun, is that you?"
Gong Nanling suddenly stopped and looked around.
"Young Master Gong, go forward …"
The volume of his voice had obviously increased by quite a bit.
"Oh, okay …"
Gong Nanling was able to tell that Jun Liuli was indeed the one who answered him. He quickly followed the sound and continued forward.
"Young Master Jun …"
"I'm here."
There was a hint of surprise in his weak voice and he confirmed it was Jun Liuli.
Gong Nanling stopped again and frowned as he looked over. Only then did he realize that there was a huge pond in front of him. The water in the pool was pitch-black.
A faint fragrance hung in the air.
"Young Master Jun, where are you?"
He hurriedly scanned through it. Perhaps it was because the ink-black water in the pool was blurred by his eyes, but Gong Nanling didn't see Jun Liuli.
"Here …"
Gong Nanling looked around again and finally saw a figure beside a protruding rock by the side of the pool.
"Young Master Jun …"
He quickly ran over.
"Young Master Gong, why are you here?"
Jun Liuli, who was leaning against a rock, had no color on his face, as if he was suffering from a serious illness.
Gong Nanling half-squatted in front of him and replied excitedly.
"Lord Priest asked me to come …"
"What did he ask you to do? "Could it be …"
