Chapter 2229: Chapter 2229: Secret Realm Pioneering, Three Sects’ Struggle

”Change?”

Dominic Miller nodded: ”The Secret Realm is larger and more perilous than imagined. Although we haven’t discovered any human traces inside, there are numerous magical beasts. They are ferocious and violent, attacking any creature that enters their territory. During exploration, the Sect has already suffered significant losses, including five Great Land Fairies.”

Even the Great Land Fairies couldn’t withstand it?

Carson Flores was quite surprised and asked, ”Are the magical beasts in the Secret Realm that formidable? So, powerful experts from Green Bird City have entered?”

”Yes.”

Dominic Miller replied: ”But it hasn’t been very useful. The Secret Realm is vast, and the most important thing is that entry points are randomly distributed and uncontrollable. Although top experts of the Sect have entered, the risk level decreases significantly. However, the Secret Realm is so large; we cannot rely on just a few experts for slow exploration. Wouldn’t that take until the end of time?”

Carson Flores nodded in understanding: ”No matter how strong one person is, their exploration speed and range are ultimately limited. So, Green Bird City plans to send more disciples in?”

Dominic Miller nodded: ”Yes, this time Green Bird City intends to dispatch five hundred Immortals and two thousand Outer Sect disciples, those who have not yet become Immortal, to conduct a large-scale exploration.”

Carson Flores exclaimed: ”Such a grand arrangement?”

Dominic Miller smiled wryly: ”Because the news about the Secret Realm has already leaked.”

Carson Flores was momentarily stunned but soon realized that the leak wasn’t due to himself.

He had only informed Lucas White, and he had just arrived.

”How did it leak? It’s not related to you, right?”

Dominic Miller shook his head: ”It’s not related to me. It must have been detected by internal spies placed by other Sects.”

Carson Flores was shocked: ”Internal spies? Do Immortal Sects still engage in such tactics?”

Dominic Miller explained: ”Where there’s competition, conflicts of interest, or strife, it’s natural for everyone to want to understand each other’s movements better. Therefore, placing internal spies is quite normal. These spies may not be in core positions, but recently, due to the development of the Secret Realm, the Sect has been quite active. No matter how much we conceal, it’s impossible to hide it completely. Those not paying attention might not care, but those with intentions will surely notice.”

”Green Bird City, Mount Lingmiao, and White Magpie Sect are on the same level of strength; none can overpower the other. Due to various reasons, the three Sect territories are quite close, squeezed into a small area, leading to fierce conflicts.”

”In fact, any of our three Sects could dominate a region with weaker Immortal Sect strength if relocated, but who would willingly abandon a millennium-old foundation and leave as a defeated entity?”

”Because of this mentality, although the three Sects aren’t fighting to the death overtly, they are secretly engaging in battles and often setting traps for each other. Despite the Sect’s efforts to keep the Secret Realm’s development confidential, the setbacks in exploration forced us to send more people into the Secret Realm. Such actions were naturally detected by the internal spies placed by other two Sects.”

”Currently, Mount Lingmiao and White Magpie Sect have formally issued notices to the Sect, requesting joint development and exploration of the Secret Realm. Their reasoning is that the Secret Realm lies within the shared territory of the three Sects, so Green Bird City cannot monopolize it.”

Carson Flores nodded: ”What’s your Sect Master’s attitude?”

Dominic Miller shook his head: ”I don’t know. After all, I’m just an Outer Sect disciple, making it very difficult to contact the Sect’s core, let alone the upper echelon’s decisions. But from what I know, the five hundred Immortals and two thousand disciples are already ready to depart.”

Carson Flores raised his eyebrows: ”They’re already preparing to set off?”

Dominic Miller nodded: ”Yes, notifications have been issued, and they will set off in two days.”

Carson Flores pondered for a few seconds before speaking: ”Can the selected disciples still go out now?”

”Yes, because the news has already leaked, and the other two Sects know about it, the Sect has actually relaxed its restrictions.”

Carson Flores smiled: ”In that case, things are easier to deal with. Since it’s publicly announced, you should know some of the selected Outer Sect disciples, right?”

Dominic Miller nodded straightforwardly: ”What does the benefactor need me to do?”

Carson Flores smiled: ”I need some names. I need two slots among them. Rest assured, it won’t involve you, and unless necessary, I won’t become adversaries with Green Bird City. I just want to sneak into the Secret Realm to search for the Harmony Spring. By the way, if you haven’t obtained the Harmony Spring, how do you know it exists?”

Dominic Miller explained: ”The entry points into the Secret Realm are random. During exploration, some disciples discovered the Harmony Spring but didn’t know their location, so they sent a distress signal, explaining their discovery.”

”By the time the sect’s leading experts received the distress signal, this disciple had already died, so there’s no way to accurately locate where the signal was sent from, only to estimate the range based on direction and distance.”

Carson Flores understood: ”Someone discovered the Harmony Spring and then died. You received the information but can only determine a general area, not the specific location. Is that correct?”
