Chapter 796, Strange Secret Realm

Translator: Silavin

 

Looking at Cui Ziyi’s expression, she did not seem to be toying with him.

 

Moreover, Cui Ziyi was not familiar with him and did not know his identity. Deceiving him would probably bring no benefit to Cui Ziyi.

 

Lu Fan did not relax his guard against Cui Ziyi, but his attitude was not as defensive as before. Instead, he smiled and said, “So, you’re saying we don’t lie to our own people?”

 

“Absolutely!” Cui Ziyi immediately smiled, even more convinced that Lu Fan was undoubtedly a person from Dragon Capital. “We don’t lie to our own people!”

 

“Fine then,” Lu Fan nodded. “I don’t want to stay here for long either. I’ll quickly get the materials I need and leave early. But you probably don’t have the materials I need. Because I’m not entirely clear what these materials are either. I only know they can drop from the deepest part of the Abyssal Rift.”

 

“The deepest part of the Abyssal Rift!?” Upon hearing this, Cui Ziyi was stunned. She unconsciously looked towards the deepest part of the Abyssal Rift and asked in surprise, “Do you know what’s in the deepest part of the Abyssal Rift?”

 

Lu Fan replied, “It’s a Secret Realm, isn’t it? They say it’s the most special Secret Realm in the Abyssal Rift. Its difficulty is very high, and since it was discovered, no one has Cleared it.”

 

“Since you know this, you still dare to come here looking for materials!?” Cui Ziyi looked Lu Fan up and down. “Who told you that this material comes from that Secret Realm? No one has been able to Clear it before, so how would they know that the materials you need come from there? Don’t tell me you’ve offended someone and have been set up?”

 

“…” Lu Fan fell silent for a moment.

 

Actually, after gaining some understanding of the Abyssal Rift, Lu Fan also felt something was strange.

 

Because among all the information he currently possessed, he indeed had not found any rumours of anyone Clearing this Secret Realm. So what could actually drop from within the Secret Realm had always been a mystery. No one should know about it.

 

Yet Ouyang Baige had told him to come here searching for Fourth Profession Change materials, and even said that the final missing material was in the deepest part of the Abyssal Rift. This was somewhat bizarre.

 

The only thing Lu Fan could hypothesise was that this final Secret Realm was not one that no one had Cleared. Rather, someone had Cleared it and obtained some materials from within, but outsiders simply did not know about it.

 

If this was not the case, then there was only one possibility, that Ouyang Baige indeed had problems with him.

 

However, Ye Wuxian had also said that Ouyang Baige was truly very capable, and theoretically should not have any problems with him.

 

But if that was the case, why did Lu Fan feel that his Fourth Profession Change matter seemed strange from beginning to end?

 

For a moment, Lu Fan felt like he was not smart enough to solve this mystery, so he simply stopped overthinking things.

 

After all, he had already come here. Regardless of anything else, he should first go to the Secret Realm to investigate.

 

“I might have been set up. But regardless of anything else, I’ll go to this Secret Realm first to have a look. I think with my strength, I should still be able to Clear it.” Lu Fan finally said.

 

Cui Ziyi looked at Lu Fan with some surprise and said, “You’re confident you can Clear it? I must remind you, previously, Fourth Profession Players had come to Clear the Secret Realm, and only half of them survived, needing to escape from this place. The other half all perished inside. Do you truly believe you can Clear it!?”

 

As she spoke, Cui Ziyi carefully examined Lu Fan and said suspiciously, “You’re so young. If you hadn’t just crushed me with your strength earlier, I would definitely have thought you were only in your Second Profession Change. But even if your strength is more than this, given your age, you’d at most be in your Fourth Profession Change, right?”

 

Lu Fan nodded. “En, I’m Level 90. I’m currently collecting materials to create my Fourth Profession Change Array.”

 

“You’re already Level 90?” Cui Ziyi was greatly surprised, but then still shook her head. “Even if you’re already Level 90 at such a young age, you still won’t be able to Clear it. Going in would be seeking death!”

 

Lu Fan was helpless and could only say, “Whether I’m seeking death or not, that’s my business. Right now, I just want to enter the Secret Realm and take the materials I need. Regardless of anything else, our meeting is also fate. This Secret Realm is a natural creation from the world. It does not belong to any one individual. Although this place is now under your gang’s jurisdiction, I definitely must enter this Secret Realm. You don’t need to keep trying to dissuade me. I’m going to the Secret Realm first.”

 

With that said, Lu Fan turned and walked towards the deepest Secret Realm.

 

Seeing this, Cui Ziyi shook her head helplessly and said, “You! I was giving him well-intentioned advice, but instead he thinks I’m being too nosy.”

 

Old Ninth, standing nearby, quietly said, “Sister Cui, shouldn’t we remind him that he can’t enter that Secret Realm right now…”

 

Cui Ziyi waved her hand and smiled, “Don’t remind him. Since he’s so capable, let him try to enter the Secret Realm himself *hmph!*”

 

On the other side, Lu Fan had already arrived before the Transport Array to the deepest Secret Realm of the Abyssal Rift.

 

This Secret Realm Transport Array was three times larger than other Secret Realm Transport Arrays, appearing extremely magnificent.

 

Lu Fan did not hesitate at all and stepped forward, about to enter.

 

However, he discovered that he was actually pushed out of the Transport Array by some strange force!

 

After carefully sensing for a moment, Lu Fan perceived that to enter the Secret Realm, one actually needed a Secret Realm Key.

 

As for what exactly this Secret Realm Key was, Lu Fan did not know. Moreover, even if he knew, he probably did not have one.

 

This made Lu Fan’s brow furrow. The Secret Realm was right before his eyes, yet there was no way to enter. It was truly frustrating.

 

Just at this moment, Cui Ziyi sauntered over, saying smugly, “Little Brother, what’s wrong? Didn’t you want to enter this Secret Realm? Why aren’t you going in?”

 

Seeing Cui Ziyi’s ‘vindictive’ face, Lu Fan could not help but shake his head and laugh, “You knew I couldn’t enter this Secret Realm, yet you deliberately came to watch me make a fool of myself.”

 

Cui Ziyi immediately said, “Don’t throw dirty water on me. I wasn’t trying to watch you make a fool of yourself. You were the one who insisted on entering this Secret Realm now. I couldn’t even stop you. Originally I wanted to tell you some things about this Secret Realm, but you found me too nosy. Who’s to blame for that?”

 

Lu Fan, with no other choice, could only smile and say, “Fine, I was rash. So what kind of Secret Realm Key is needed to enter this Secret Realm?”
