Chapter 447 - 180: News of Building a Defense Tower, Entering His Own Secret Realm

"Do it!"

"We have to do it!"

"I’ve thought of you as my sister-in-law for ages!!!"

"My dear sister-in-law!!"

Amidst her shouting, the impetuous Shen Yue scooped Xiaohong right up into her arms.

"Ah!!!!"

As Xiaohong shrieked, the two quickly started roughhousing playfully...

.

.

WHOOSH.

「Hang City.」

Inside the [Lin’an City] Secret Realm that Shen Fei had created, space suddenly warped, and a man appeared. Outside, the previously calm entrance to the Secret Realm sealed shut instantly, displaying a status that indicated someone was inside and entry was forbidden.

[Ding!]

[You have entered a special single-player Secret Realm!]

[If you fail to clear the Secret Realm, the creatures within will manifest in reality at 10,000 times their strength!]

Using the Secret Realm Teleportation Array, he had instantly crossed over 100,000 kilometers, traveling from the real world in Qing City directly into the Secret Realm in Hang City. Just as Shen Fei steadied himself, his personal panel quickly opened, and lines of text scrolled into view...

.

[Special Secret Realm: Lin’an City (Single-Player)]

[Secret Realm Keywords: Lin’an, City, Snake, Bald Head, Tide...]

[Mission Objective: Explore the Secret Realm!]

[Exploration Progress: 1%]

.

As Shen Fei watched, a few more lines displaying the Secret Realm’s Attributes appeared on his translucent personal panel. Unlike the previous defense-type Secret Realm, "Heaven-Reaching Tower," this new "Lin’an City" Secret Realm he had entered was an exploration type.

Looking at the Secret Realm’s keywords, then at its name, and then recalling the reason it had formed, a strange feeling couldn’t help but surface in Shen Fei’s mind.

Snake, bald head, Lin’an City? If you threw in a Leifeng Pagoda, wouldn’t this just be the New Legend of the White Snake...

Gazing at the scene before him—a misty, rain-swept landscape of Jiangnan with rippling waters—Shen Fei was very curious about what this Secret Realm contained. Although the Secret Realm before him was a special single-player one, Shen Fei could tell that the scenery within it was still vast. He made a preliminary estimate that this Secret Realm was at least several hundred kilometers in size.

At this moment, he was standing by the shore of a rippling, jade-green lake. At the edge of his vision, deep within the lake, he saw an island rising straight out of the water. The island was covered in lush, vibrant greenery. However, what caught Shen Fei’s attention wasn’t the verdant island, but a glittering golden temple halfway up its slope, and within the temple, a tall, spotlessly white Octagonal Tower...

Ahead, deep in the lake, were the temple and the white tower. And behind him, at the other end of his line of sight, Shen Fei saw an Ancient City with the two seal-script characters for "Lin’an" inscribed above its gate. Looking toward the distant Ancient City, Shen Fei could even see bustling crowds moving in and out of it. Moreover, not far from the Ancient City, there were small villages from which wisps of cooking smoke curled into the air...

Do I have to explore every single one of these places? Don’t tell me this place really has a Jinshan Temple and a Leifeng Pagoda!! Don’t tell me that in Lin’an City up ahead, there are actually constables and apothecaries...

He quickly scanned the mini-map of the entire Secret Realm. It felt just like a quaint, ancient society. Shen Fei was a little perplexed by this single-player, special-type Secret Realm. He didn’t know what this Secret Realm was supposed to be about...

WHOOSH.

While his mind pondered how to go about exploring this beautiful, ancient-style Secret Realm, Shen Fei waved his hand and directly summoned a series of Defense Towers around himself. No matter what, combat was still important. Regardless of how the Secret Realm was meant to be played, his Defense Towers were a necessity.

WHOOSH.

Seeing the Defense Towers successfully summoned, Shen Fei nodded and immediately began using his Detection Tower. He knew that if any other player had entered this Secret Realm, the first thing they would do after familiarizing themselves with the environment would be to either head toward the island ahead or make their way to the Ancient City behind.

But Shen Fei wasn’t just any other player. He wasn’t an ordinary player, either. After surveying the Secret Realm’s environment and learning it was an exploration type, Shen Fei simply stood his ground and activated his Detection Tower, which already had a base range of several thousand kilometers.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

As his vision, aided by the Detection Tower, began to permeate the entire Secret Realm, countless vines also spread out across the ground and the lakebed, radiating into the distance. Although this was a Secret Realm, one that belonged exclusively to Shen Fei, and a special one at that, he had no intention of exploring it carefully, slowly, or meticulously. After confirming that it was an exploration-type Secret Realm, Shen Fei immediately began his Detection. After all, he had an Invincible Detection Tower...

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

Following the Detection Tower, Shen Fei’s vision quickly began to sweep across the Secret Realm. He soon discovered that his earlier judgment might have been a bit conservative. With the aid of his detection-enhanced vision, he now realized that the Secret Realm’s length and width might both exceed a thousand kilometers. At the edges of the Secret Realm, there was even a vast expanse of seawater. This Secret Realm named [Lin’an City], in addition to having lakes and rivers, also encompassed a large area of the sea...

BZZZT.

As his vision swept rapidly over the lands, it was suddenly blocked when it passed over the temple with the pristine white Octagonal Tower. He saw that as his vision approached, a translucent Shield appeared around the perimeter of the glittering Golden Temple ahead. It resembled a kasaya and looked as if it were pieced together from stacked bricks. This enormous, translucent golden kasaya enveloped the temple, blocking Shen Fei’s Detection.

SWISH!

His line of sight blocked, Shen Fei didn’t panic. Without getting bogged down, his vision flickered and bypassed it, moving toward the distance.

Anyone can tell that Golden Temple is special. That spot has been marked! I’ll detect the other areas first!

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

Not getting entangled with any of the special locations, Shen Fei’s speed was incredible as he investigated one area after another, immediately marking any anomalies he found. In less than half an hour, his vision, guided by the Detection Tower, had already scanned every unshielded part of the entire world. Including the obvious special location ahead—the Golden Temple—he discovered a total of seven special places, which he marked on his Secret Realm mini-map.

There were two spots in the lake ahead and two spots in the Ancient City behind him. Another spot was in the sea, and one was on a mountain outside the Ancient City. The last special spot was the Golden Temple on the lake...

"Here we go!"

The entire Secret Realm had been scouted, and Shen Fei was ready to act. Originally, as a Tower Master, his plan was to speedrun the Secret Realm if possible. He had figured that since this was an exploration-type Secret Realm, he could clear it as soon as the exploration was complete, without needing to bide his time. He intended to stay put without moving an inch and simply control his Defense Towers.

But after he sent out a wave of detection with his vision, he discovered that the exploration progress on his personal panel hadn’t increased at all. Apparently, to complete the so-called exploration, he needed to physically walk to each of the special points. Detection via the Detection Tower didn’t count. Under these circumstances, Shen Fei had no choice but to start moving.

However, before he set out, he commanded the countless vines that had already spread throughout the entire Secret Realm to strike viciously at the distant Golden Temple deep within the lake.

Putting on airs!

The other special spots in the Secret Realm had only shown slight anomalies when his detection passed over them. Only this Golden Temple had dared to block his detection-enhanced sight. Before he started moving, he decided to launch an initial wave of attacks against it.

Time to poke the grass and startle the snake!

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

At Shen Fei’s command, massive vines shot up from the lakebed, soaring into the sky. Like giant octopus tentacles or enormous Cyan Pythons, they stabbed toward the distant Golden Temple...

"Audacious!"

"What manner of demon is this!"

"How dare you show off your meager skills before an expert!"

"Great Mighty Celestial Dragon! Daluo Spell!"

As the countless vines erupted from the water and struck viciously, an enraged roar emerged from the Golden Temple...
