A peculiar energy permeated Zihuan Star, this energy suppressed the fluctuations of the True Yuan within cultivators. Lin Mo noticed Luo Lian among the crowd, even he and several elders had somewhat odd expressions. It seemed this energy not only affected Star Sea Level cultivators but also didn't spare those at the Half-step Star Domain Level.

Under the influence of this strange energy, everyone's strength decreased to varying degrees, making this 'Ancient Secret Realm' journey full of danger.

Just as the forces of the Refining God Pavilion arrived, the sky suddenly echoed with a series of thunderous heavy sounds. Dozens of spaceships rapidly flew in from the distant horizon and then hovered mid-air. Each spaceship resembled ferocious giant beasts, exuding a violent suppression.

These spaceships were divided into three teams, each comprising more than ten ships. After the ships halted, figures swarmed out of the vessel like locusts, then stood densely in mid-air, among them three strong auras as 'clear' as Luo Lian's strength.

Subsequently, these three teams steadily floated in front of Luo Lian and others. The teams were distinctly separate. One team was dressed entirely in black robes, with bizarre purple cloud patterns embroidered on the robes. Everyone exuded a dark aura, clearly the forces of the Netherworld Sect.

Another team wore clothes in red and black hues, surrounded by Blood Energy. Each person appeared like a puppet, expressionless, yet causing the other three teams to somewhat change color, showcasing this team's daunting strength.

The last team appeared much more normal, wearing ordinary attire, without any special energy fluctuations. Leading them was a silver-haired elder, wearing a Star Robe, exuding an immortal aura.

Upon seeing the team in red-black apparel appear, Zhou Xinyue clenched her fists tightly, her beautiful eyes flickering with hateful, cold gleams. Some of her True Yuan uncontrollably seeped out.

Lin Mo glanced at Zhou Xinyue, slightly furrowing his brows.

"They are from the Five Primus Sect, the ones who wiped out our Moonlight Sect and killed my Master." Zhou Xinyue gritted her small silver teeth, her whole body exuding icy killing intent.

"Since I've promised to help you take revenge, I will definitely annihilate the Five Primus Sect." Lin Mo reached out, lightly placing his palm on Zhou Xinyue's shoulder. A gentle Primordial Power flowed into the latter's body, soothing her chaotic True Yuan.

The chill on Zhou Xinyue's face slightly receded, and she nodded silently.

The Netherworld Sect, Refining God Pavilion, Five Primus Sect, and the silver-haired elder in the Star Robe should be from the Hexagram Sect.

These Four Great Forces were evenly matched, mutually restraining each other. Furthermore, the four leaders all remained at the half-step Star Domain Level. This 'Ancient Secret Realm' was of utmost importance to the four of them. If they gained opportunities and legacies here, they could truly step into the Star Domain Level, from then on dominating the other three Great Forces.

"Sect Leader Tu, Spear Sect Master, Ban Sect Master..." Luo Lian presented a fake smile to the trio, his gaze flashing with sharp brilliance.

Resources are limited. For a sect to develop, it must vie for resources. The overt and covert struggles among these Four Great Forces had unknowingly persisted for years. Due to their comparable strength, they maintained a delicate balance. If someone succeeded in advancing to the Star Domain Level this time, the other three Great Forces would certainly face devastating blows.

"Master Luo, let's cut the crap. We're all here for the Ancient Secret Realm, which must be on Zihuan Star. The secret realm hasn't appeared yet, so there's no need to start a war immediately. We should work together and find the secret realm first." A black-robed middle-aged man flew out, his voice was sinister and hoarse, gradually spreading out.

The two sect masters of the Five Primus Sect and Hexagram Sect nodded slightly, evidently agreeing with Tu Ji's words.

This time the appearance of the Ancient Secret Realm was significant. Not only had the Four Great Forces come to Zihuan Star, but some other smaller forces and dynasties might have quietly entered Zihuan Star, planning to get a share. Of course, this wasn't what concerned them; they worried about the arrival of a Star Domain Level strongman. If that happened, it would become exceedingly difficult for the Four Great Forces to obtain treasures.

Lin Mo suddenly raised his head, looking towards the Netherworld Sect's camp. Thousands stood densely in mid-air, among them two pairs of eyes like venomous scorpions' cold glints piercing through the crowd, staring at him.

Among those glances, Lin Mo was very familiar with one of them. He should have expected that guy would chase him to the Anlin Star System. The question remained whether Marquis Mu pursued him there as well.

"Alright, now we're cooperating to find the Ancient Secret Realm. As long as the four of us team up, the other forces have no chance to intervene," Luo Lian said with a faint smile.

This alliance evidently lacked any binding power. Once the Ancient Secret Realm was discovered, the struggle among the Four Great Forces would likely become exceptionally fierce.

Swish, swish, swish...

Figures suddenly darted from mid-air, rushing directly towards Zihuan Star. Whoever first discovered the secret realm's entrance would gain the upper hand.

"Mr. Lin, I'll go with you."

As Lin Mo and Zhou Xinyue soared, Luo Yi also swiftly followed.

The trio rapidly flew northwards, Lin Mo's eyes gleaming with brilliance. The Green Wood Token in his Space Ring emitted a verdant glow, faintly guiding him in that direction.

Meanwhile, a small team from the Refining God Pavilion closely followed them.

The closer they got to the north, the more intense the reaction of the Green Wood Token, constantly emitting a verdant glow, even transforming into a dazzling green radiance.

An hour later, an extended mountain range appeared before Lin Mo, the peaks towering into the clouds, reaching a thousand blades high. Lin Mo darted into the heart of the mountain, trees lush, grasses flourishing, each tree hundreds of meters tall, the canopy blocking out the sun.

Lin Mo took out a Green Wood Token, the token radiated dark green luminescence, then detached from his hand and transformed into a green meteor, flying deep into the forest. Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, his foot stamped firmly on the ground, and his figure shot forward like a wisp of smoke.

Luo Yi and Zhou Xinyue hastily caught up with Lin Mo. When the trio stopped again, they discovered a natural lake in the mountain forest. The lake surface was like a mirror, and the green token plunged into the center of the lake, stirring green ripples, spreading continuously from the center.

Excitement lit up Zhou Xinyue's delicate face, "Mr. Lin, there must be treasure in this lake!"

"But this treasure, we of the Netherworld Sect will take it!" Suddenly, a sinister voice with a lazy tone rang out. Lin Mo's sword-like eyebrows raised, his eyes focused on the sky. Three black figures slowly descended from the sky, their eyes gleaming with a hint of chill, staring at Lin Mo by the lakeside.

"It's someone from the Netherworld Sect, Wu Chong!" Luo Yi slightly parted her red lips, that once cool face revealing a trace of seriousness.
