"Everyone get out! Brother Tianming will not see any of you today!"
Ever since she returned yesterday, Ye Qingxue, overcome with jealousy, confined Lin Tianming in her room.
Anyone who approached her room was chased away, just like a kitten guarding its food.
Saintess Sofia and Chief Nun Sarah both experienced her Empress-like intimidation.
Even the nun who came to deliver food was frightened by Ye Qingxue's fierce demeanor.
"I...I'm here to deliver food...it's dinner time now...you are guests, and this is the meal prepared by our Bright Holy Sect for honored guests..."
Upon hearing it was the meal delivery, Ye Qingxue's attitude softened a bit.
"Thank you."
After giving thanks, Ye Qingxue took the tray and brought it into the room.
"Brother Tianming, it's time for dinner!"
Lin Tianming was not new to seeing her this way.
Last time in the Beiyin Domain, he was accustomed to her jealousy and knew how to comfort her, staying by her side calmly.
"Qingxue, come, let me feed you!"
Being fed by Lin Tianming made Ye Qingxue feel incredibly sweet, and she didn't forget to feed Lin Tianming in return.
"Brother Tianming, Qingxue will also feed you, let's feed each other!"
[Being so affectionately close to Brother Tianming feels the best!]
Ye Qingxue's happy thoughts also reassured Lin Tianming that he was doing a good job in comforting her.
Thus, Lin Tianming continued to accompany Ye Qingxue until the opening of the Light Holy Sanctuary Secret Realm and followed Sofia to the Holy City's Light Holy Sanctuary Secret Realm.
"Tianming, this is the entrance to the Light Holy Sanctuary Secret Realm of the Central Holy Domain Holy City. Before being transformed into a Secret Realm, this Light Holy Sanctuary was actually a refuge sanctuary, specifically sheltering the displaced refugees of the Central Holy Domain who were scattered by the eastward crusades of the Holy Cross Army from Xiluo Domain.
Unfortunately, during that invasion by Xiluo Domain hundreds of years ago, even the Light Holy Sanctuary sheltering refugees couldn't escape harm...
The city gates of the Holy City were breached, and the unarmed refugees inside the Light Holy Sanctuary were slaughtered by the self-proclaimed righteous Holy Cross Army from Xiluo Domain...
Although eventually, our Central Holy Domain expelled the invaders with our resilient will, the Dead Souls of the refugees killed in this Light Holy Sanctuary didn't disperse, and turned into Undead Vengeful Spirits, wandering inside and outside the sanctuary.
To make future generations remember this painful lesson and to prevent the souls in the Light Holy Sanctuary from harming the living, the Light Holy Sanctuary was sealed into an isolated space, forming the current Secret Realm."
Even though it was a conflict from hundreds of years ago, Sofia still spoke with a solemn expression.
Lin Tianming, though a Jiuzhou person, was somewhat familiar with the centuries-old grudges between Xiluo and Central Holy Domains.
He could very much understand Sofia's sentiment of remembering history.
Previously, when he smashed the Knight Statue at the entrance of Holy Cross Academy in Shenwu City, Xiluo Domain, Sofia had thanked him and mentioned the discord between the two domains.
Ye Qingxue couldn't help but take a few more glances at Sofia.
Sofia continued, "Although this happened hundreds of years ago, and currently the relationship between Xiluo Domain and our Central Holy Domain is still alright, history should not be forgotten. Remembering history is also a way to warn ourselves and all people of Central Holy Domain, to avoid such tragedies from happening again."
Realizing she might have spoken too much, Sofia looked towards Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue.
"Sorry, I got carried away and said too much. Actually, I don't hate the present people of Xiluo Domain, nor do I harbor deep-seated resentments..."
"Brother Ming and I understand, Sofia, your previous interaction with Lilith showing friendly relations serves as the best proof!"
This time, without waiting for Lin Tianming to speak, Ye Qingxue, usually a jealous type, comfortingly addressed her rival.
Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised, but he was pleased with such a development.
If Qingxue could always maintain harmony like this, that would be wonderful!
He noticed that other Secret Realm Trialists nearby had started to enter the Light Holy Sanctuary, so he too reminded Sofia about it.
"Should we also enter the Secret Realm?"
"Yes, once inside, it's a random teleportation, and there are many undead resentful spirits, so be careful."
With Sofia's confirmation, Lin Tianming, like the other Secret Realm Trialists, walked towards the entrance.
Seeing Lin Tianming take a step first, Ye Qingxue reverted back to her love-struck state: "Brother Tianming, wait for me!"
"It's a random teleportation inside too, Qingxue, let's regroup if we meet!"
Lin Tianming waved to Ye Qingxue, his silly and adorable girlfriend, and took the lead to enter the realm.
Ye Qingxue followed closely behind.
Sofia walked last, slowly entering the Secret Realm.
Just as Sofia had told Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue, upon entering, they were randomly assigned to different areas.
As soon as Lin Tianming entered, he encountered an undead Light Holy Beast in the ruins of the Light Holy Sanctuary.
This spirit of the Light Holy Beast was only Level 56, and upon seeing Lin Tianming, the intruder, it let out an angry roar.
It had once been one of the guardians of the Light Holy Sanctuary, dying at the hands of the Holy Cross Army of the Xiluo Domain centuries ago.
Its obsession with guarding the Light Holy Sanctuary persisted after death, turning it into an irrational resentful spirit wandering nearby.
Blinded by hatred, it could no longer distinguish friend from foe, seeing only enemies to be eradicated.
Before the sanctuary was sealed and transformed into a Secret Realm, many Awakeners from the Central Holy Domain were killed by it.
After the transformation, some unlucky Secret Realm Trialists also met their demise under its deadly claws.
Clearly, Lin Tianming was one of the unlucky ones to face the Level 56 Light Holy Beast upon entry.
But regardless of bad luck, Lin Tianming was not afraid of a Light Holy Beast of a lower level than him.
Instantaneous Bubble Shadow!
"Rest in peace!"
With one move of the Divine Domain Water Attribute Skill, Lin Tianming easily dispatched the Level 56 Light Holy Beast spirit.
With its last bit of obsession fading, the peculiar power covering the Light Holy Sanctuary left behind an extremely pure Light Holy Power.
If absorbed by a Light attribute superpower Awakened, it would significantly boost their power.
While the cultivation energy within was also useful for non-Light attribute superpower Awakened like Lin Tianming, the absorption efficiency was not as high.
Lin Tianming immediately began absorbing on the spot, quickly showing a pleased expression.
For him, at Level 60, the cultivation energy in this Light Holy Power still offered a substantial boost.
Just as Lin Tianming decided to search for more special Light Holy Power, a mysterious man exuding a dark superpower aura appeared in front of him.
Apart from the dark superpower, an unsettling aura of deceitful god mist swirled around this mysterious man.
This person… no… this Deceit God, was none other than the Dark Lord whose mortal world form Lin Tianming had shattered before!
"I have been waiting for you for a long time, puny mortal!"
Declaring his identity as a Deceit God, the Dark Lord was incredibly arrogant from the start.
Hearing this, Lin Tianming laughed.
And said a phrase that, no matter how many times repeated, would instantly unnerve the Deceit God, the Dark Lord.
"You… are not as good as her!"
