Xu Tianhua is still the deputy captain of the Celestial Net in Jiang City.
Hang Yu has no control over him in Jiang City.
The present world belongs to the present world.
The Spirit Realm belongs to the Spirit Realm.
The forces of the Cyan Dragon Group, the Celestial Net in Jiang City, and the Spirit Realm can cooperate and exchange resources, but it must be done clearly and transparently for long-term benefits.
Hang Yu brought along two beautiful women, one big and one small, and a Husky with big, blinking eyes running around, but they didnât expect that the originally dark and eerie place had undergone a significant transformation in just a few days.
Seven or eight high-intensity lights.
Made the area around the Ghost Church bright as day.
Dozens of Celestial Net members supervised the construction crews, busy repairing roads to create a safe passage, avoiding ghosts as much as possible so people outside can enter smoothly.
Xu Tianhua walked over and said, "Finally youâre here."
Su Yunbing asked, "Celestial Net doesnât plan to turn this into an underground base, does it?"
Xu Tianhua said, "Haha, Celestial Net thinks enclosing it and charging entry fees is reliable, so itâs being developed as a key project for departmental revenue. There arenât many people here now, but soon journalists from various media will get the news and come for coverage, so we have to hurry."
This is the first instance in Jiang City.
No matter its size.
It can generate significant profit.
Hang Yu asked, "Are you so sure you can make money?"
"Involving similar Trial Secret Realms, many cities both domestically and internationally have already started appearing these days," Xu Tianhua said. "Some are controlled by officials, others have been privately discovered and concealed by large civilian forces, even causing fights and numerous casualties, but itâs certain that the Secret Realms are all valuable."
Er Gou spoke, "Wow, arenât you afraid that charging fees like this will upset the citizens?"
Xu Tianhua seriously said, "Er Gou, youâre wrong to put it that way. If private forces owned it, public access would be questionable. People with such high awareness arenât many these days... Letting Celestial Net manage it is undoubtedly most suitable. Just like tourist attractions, we improve the environment and provide guides for the Secret Realm, only charging a little entrance fee. Whatâs the harm in that?"
Hang Yu rolled his eyes.
Charging money is charging money, thereâs no need to dress it up so grandly.
However, itâs quite normal to do so; Hang Yu just doesnât have the capability or enough influence, otherwise, it would be him enclosing this place, not Celestial Net, as itâs a very lucrative business.
Hang Yu asked, "Have you understood the situation inside?"
Xu Tianhua replied, "Although itâs been activated, and weâve sent several batches of Celestial Net brothers to probe, itâs quite challenging inside, and no challenge has been successful."
Su Yunbing asked, "There isnât a life-threatening risk in case of a failed challenge, is there?"
Xu Tianhua replied, "What you enter is not an absolutely real environment, it should be a real Phantom, and within this environment, there doesnât seem to be any life-threatening harm."
Hang Yu asked again, "How are the people from the Spirit Realm being handled?"
Xu Tianhua said, "Vampires are under the study of professionals. As for the two Spirit Realm people who escaped... though Er Gou has been borrowed several times, there hasnât been any particular breakthrough â they seem quite adept at hiding."
Hang Yu said, "I suppose theyâre keeping a low profile because the situation is tense and they donât want to show their heads."
"Letâs not talk about this, letâs try the Ghost Church first."
The Ghost Church is a four-person instance.
A maximum of four people are allowed to enter and challenge at one time.
Hang Yu, Bai, and Su Yunbing are definitely joining.
Xu Tianhua, representing Celestial Net, is the fourth member of the team.
"Each activation of the Ghost Church consumes ten Green Crystals, and after each challenge, successful or not, it cannot be challenged again within ten days." Xu Tianhua told Hang Yu. "Of course, you all can experience it for free."
While speaking.
Xu Tianhua gave a signal with his eyes.
Celestial Net members activated two altars.
The closed church doors suddenly became soft.
Like a transparent, glowing curtain of water, releasing a strong attraction from inside.
Bai blinked her big eyes, looking indifferent.
Er Gou was full of curiosity, eager to rush in immediately.
Su Yunbing was amazed; she had never experienced the World Towerâthis was her first trial.
"Letâs go."
Hang Yu, along with the dog and the other three, went inside.
The group felt their vision blur, and they appeared in the middle of a large cathedral.
Unlike the eerie oppression before entering the instance, the inside of the cathedral was bright and the brilliant Crystal Stones emitted a holy, Divine light; a whisper echoed, making oneâs heart feel clear.
Whatâs happening?
As the four stood stunned.
Suddenly, some information appeared in each personâs mind.
[Secret Realm Name: Dawn Church Defense Battle]
[Basic Introduction: A conflict occurred between the Dawn Goddess and the Nether God. This rare conflict between deities dragged in hundreds of Spirit Realm species, causing chaos. At this moment, one of the Nether Godâs fanatical followers, the newly risen legend-level power âWitch Demon Emperor - Amonthisâ is performing a Dark Ceremony, cursing every Dawn Church across several Spirit Realm territories...]
[Task Introduction: The Dawn Church is suffering from the evil curse of Amonthis. In the next six hours, it will face assaults from various powerful Undead creatures. Please assist the followers of the Dawn Goddess to guard the church against Dark Power invasions.]
[Success Reward: Unknown]
......
Su Yunbingâs beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, "Strange, whatâs going on, why do I know this information?"
Hang Yu said, "Thereâs nothing surprising about it. Trial Secret Realms arenât merely instances; they are carriers of all sorts of history, major events, and intrigues of the past Spirit Realm. The more we experience these Secret Realms, the deeper our understanding of the vast Spirit Realm becomes... Sometimes, the history within contains extraordinarily valuable knowledge, which can surpass the rewards of the trial itself."
There are some things Hang Yu didnât say.
Secret Realms arenât always simple instances.
Some Secret Realms can even affect their surroundings.
Moreover, the plots of some Secret Realms are interconnected, involving many secrets.
Additionally, Secret Realms arenât always safe; some have exceedingly harsh penalties.
In summary, this isnât just like playing a game and entering an instance, so it must be approached with caution.
Xu Tianhua frowned, "The Secret Realm we encountered in the World Tower was just a conflict between an Earth Lord and an Earth King, I didnât expect this church to involve a dispute between two Spirit Realm deities."
"No need to worry, what we need to deal with isnât the deities themselves, just the curse attack from a legend-level powerhouse," Hang Yu paused and continued, "More precisely, itâs a fraction of the curse, less than a few hundred or even a thousandth of its Strength!"
A legendary powerhouse following the Nether God cast a curse on the Dawn Goddessâs church.
There are hundreds or even thousands of churches heâs attacking at once, and this is just one of them.
Whatâs there to worry about?
Theyâre not asking you to confront the formidable legendary master directly!
Every trial has a threshold. Since you can enter the Secret Realm, it means that the threshold is met, and you wonât face a situation you canât handle. The Secret Realmâs content has been adjusted, revealing only a Mirror Image of the event, not an exact 100% replica of what happened then, so itâs not insurmountable.
However, involving divine disputes.
Truly caught Hang Yu by surprise a bit.
Er Gou suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, Boss, someone is appearing nearby."
The group looked around and saw flashes of light and shadow as figures in white robes appeared around the church area, including one particularly striking beautiful female figure.
