"Oh, that works for me. I can accept that frequency," Xu Ran said, elated beyond expectation. He hadn't imagined that Yun Yun, who was usually conservative, would make such a decision. It seemed Yun Yun really wasn't familiar with these things, which conveniently worked in his favor.
But to be fair, Xu Ran's request wasn't excessive.
With three entrances and two being off-limits, that left only one choice, right?
"Actually, those secret realms are just like that…" Xu Ran explained, sharing the rules of the secret realms with Yun Yun. Of course, they looked simple but were not easy in practice. It was like playing a game; so many people knew the rules yet still couldn't pass, relying on their skills.
"How did you come up with all this stuff? It's so difficult, will anybody pass?" Yun Yun looked at Xu Ran as if he was a madman.
If someone really managed to clear all the stages according to Xu Ran's rules, wouldn't that person be monstrously talented?
"If they can't pass, then they can't pass. How could my inheritance be easily obtained by them? If they're too weak, better they don't embarrass themselves."
"Okay then."
Yun Yun stuck out her little tongue. She also felt that what Xu Ran said made sense.
Moreover, even if they couldn't pass the highest level of assessment, they'd still gain a lot by making some progress.
"Anyway, thank you for this," Yun Yun said, looking at Xu Ran with sincere eyes. If she were to rely on herself, wanting to strengthen the Yunlan Sect would be a wishful thinking beyond her capability.
Even if she became a Dou Zong, the foundation of the sect was weak; once she, the Dou Zong, left, the Yunlan Sect would be beaten back to its original state.
But now, with the secret realm established by Xu Ran, it was likely that in the future, experts above Douwang or even Douhuang would emerge in an endless stream. In a few decades, the Yunlan Sect would have several Douhuangs at the very least.
With that, the Yunlan Sect was bound to become a powerful sect in the future.
"Thank me for what? You're my wife. Do we even need to say thanks between us?"
"You haven't married me yet! Until we're officially wed, you'd better not even think about those silly fantasies. I absolutely won't agree to it. No touching or looking!"
Yun Yun warily watched Xu Ran.
Thinking about the embarrassing requests he had made these past few days, she couldn't help but blush.
What on earth was filling Xu Ran's head every day, and how could he think up so many naughty things?
But that wasn't all there was to it.
Just like with the Yunlan Secret Realm, Xu Ran was capable of coming up with it as well.
It felt like Xu Ran was omnipotent, excelling not only in proper affairs but even more so in talents for the improper ones.
"Alright, alright. Of course, I have to. I'll marry you and Yan Ran together."
"Let's go check on Yan Ran and the others. They've also entered the secret realm to see if they've gotten their hands on something good," Xu Ran said with a smile.
He had certainly favored Yan Ran and the others in the secret realm he created.
Where ordinary people might gain inheritance or treasures in the secret realm, they had to go through trials and only after passing could they obtain them. Although Yan Ran and the others faced the same process, the challenges they encountered were much easier.
Amidst the spatial tremors, Xu Ran and Yun Yun entered the secret realm.
This is an immensely vast space, with mountains and water, just like a small world.
But what's most important is the majestic Dou Qi energy within the secret realm. Even without touching those legacies, merely cultivating here for ten days to a month can lead to significant progress in one's "Cultivation Level".
However, if anyone truly thinks that way, they'd be foolish.
Everyone knows that the person capable of creating such a world must have left behind extraordinary things.
To construct such a secret realm, one must at least control space power.
Only a Dou Zong Expert can begin to control space power, and a Dou Zun Expert might be able to construct Spatial Wormholes, but to create a world like this alone, only a Dou Sheng or stronger could achieve it.
Moreover, even for a Dou Sheng, it would be impossible to construct such a perfect secret realm alone.
It can be said that the secret realm Xu Ran established will only reveal its true power when a peerless genius emerges within Yunlan Sect. Across the entire Continent, the Yunlan Secret Realm would be renowned.
However, those things require a genius with sufficient talent to trigger them. If the talent is not enough, they naturally can't be activated.
Those legacies, which are potent enough to cultivate up to a Dou Sheng, will only appear when someone with the potential to cultivate to a Dou Sheng level comes along. "Every time I come in here, I feel amazed. It's simply fantastic, how great would it be to cultivate here every day?" Yun Yun exclaimed. Even after entering several times, she felt differently each time.
In her many years of cultivation, she had never seen such a powerful secret realm.
Even the most prestigious Canaan Academy on the continent, with its Cultivation Tower that brings great benefit, seems to be merely on par with this.
"You can always come here to cultivate. This secret realm can accommodate seven or eight people with no problem. The energy inside can be replenished quickly. However, if too many people come, the energy of the secret realm will be drained." Xu Ran indeed had the ability to create an even more powerful secret realm.
But doing so would disrupt the current rules of the Continent too much.
And now, this was already sufficient for Yunlan Sect.
"By cultivating here, even without your help, I can definitely reach Dou Zun," Yun Yun said with a charming smile. In such a place, even those old monsters would be tempted.
The Heavenly Energy here was so rich that at its peak, it nearly liquefied.
Moreover, within this secret realm, there are training grounds tailored for attributes of Dou Qi geniuses.
At the moment, Nalan Yanran and the others were attempting to conquer a ninety-nine storey high tower.
Inside, there were powerful beings conjured from the energy of the secret realm, and only by defeating them could one advance to the next level. To enter the ninety-ninth level, one must possess the ability to fight across at least twenty ranks.
Most disciples of Yunlan Sect, even the top geniuses of the sect, could only breach the first ten levels.
However, Nalan Yanran and her companions had already reached beyond the fortieth level.
It wasn't just because Xu Ran had been lenient, but because they had truly learned a lot following Xu Ran these days; fighting across levels was as simple as drinking water and eating food. In this secret realm, geniuses capable of fighting across ranks naturally had an edge.
Before, Nalan Yanran was only at the Great Fighter "Cultivation Level", but in just a short time, she had broken through to Douwang, and who knows what treasures she found in this secret realm.
At any rate, the items placed inside, even Xu Ran had nearly forgotten what they were.
As for Qing Lin and the others, they had also gained massive increases in their power.
Xiao Yi Xian also had a breakthrough to Dou Spirit and could now brew Fifth-grade Elixirs.
