"Co on, experience what it's like to ride a divine beast."
Daniel patted the unicorn beneath him as he spoke.
Bliss had a strange expression on his face and replied,
"I think I'll pass… I'd rather just walk."
Daniel didn't insist on convincing him.
And so, the two of them entered the valley in their own ways.
Freya followed behind them, her expression still odd.
At this mont, she had even forgotten about Watson,
who was still recuperating above.
Once the others had disappeared below,
Watson quickly resud healing himself.
At the sa ti, he curiously asked the other disciples,
"Who was that guy down there?"
"No idea, Watson. He looks unfamiliar."
"He probably ca with Bliss… Could he be Elder Holt's disciple?"
"That's possible. Looks like Elder Holt's lineage has produced another incredible figure!"
"..."
Hearing the discussion around him,
Watson's face darkened.
He never expected Bliss to bring such a monstrous talent along…
Even Freya wasn't his match!
Maybe it was best to lay low for now!
Although those people hadn't attacked him earlier,
who knew what would happen once everything here was settled?
If that mysterious disciple really was Bliss's junior…
Then Watson was in serious trouble!
Realizing this, Watson wasted no ti
and hurried toward the exit of the secret realm,
hoping to escape as quickly as possible.
Down in the valley, the scene was quite different.
From above, they had been unable to see what lay below,
as if so kind of barrier had obscured the view.
But now that they were here,
they realized this place wasn't so bad.
Flowers blood everywhere,
and at the very center lay a shimring lake.
Daniel could sense an incredibly dense energy of faith.
"What exactly are you doing here?"
Daniel asked Freya.
After entering the valley,
he had dismissed the unicorn.
Freya's expression darkened,
but she chose not to answer.
"Are you hoping to experience my previous technique again?"
Freya's face grew even more tense.
"Who exactly are you?
Why… why did that happen to ?"
"Don't answer a question with a question,"
Daniel replied calmly.
Under his piercing gaze,
Freya's aura weakened slightly.
Then she finally spoke:
"I found traces of the divine artifact here,
so I've been searching for it."
She then explained what had happened since she arrived.
Shortly after entering the secret realm,
she had encountered Godfrey,
the direct disciple of Thousand Suns Hall's Lord—the one Bliss had ntioned.
Both of them had aggressive tempers.
So, naturally, they had started fighting the mont they t.
However, they were evenly matched.
Neither could gain the upper hand.
Then, during their battle,
the ground beneath them cracked open,
revealing an unusual energy.
They both realized
this must be where the divine artifact was hidden.
So, they stopped fighting and ca to investigate.
According to Freya's theory,
the artifact was likely at the bottom of the lake.
But the lake's surface was covered by a highly intricate magic array.
Without breaking through the array,
it was impossible to retrieve the artifact.
To prevent others from interfering,
Freya and Godfrey had made an agreent—
They would stop anyone else from entering.
That was why Freya had attacked Bliss
when he was about to step in.
"We shouldn't waste any more ti here.
Right now, Godfrey is still working on breaking the magic array.
If he succeeds before us—"
Freya tried to emphasize how important the divine artifact was.
But Daniel, unfazed, simply replied,
"Oh."
Then, he asked,
"Your unicorn bloodline…
Is it inherited from your ancestors?"
Daniel had no real interest in the so-called divine artifact.
After all, he had fed Supre Artifacts to Big White countless tis.
To him,
artifacts were far less intriguing
than Freya's unicorn bloodline.
Hearing Daniel bring up bloodlines again,
Freya's expression darkened even further.
If she weren't completely outmatched,
she would have attacked him already.
"No!"
Freya snapped.
"Your ancestors didn't pass it down?
Then where did your bloodline co from?"
Freya didn't like discussing this topic.
If anyone other than Daniel had asked,
she would have already fought them.
"My ancestors had no such bloodline."
"I was raised by my mother alone.
As for where my bloodline cos from…
If you're curious,
go find the bastard who abandoned my mother and ."
Her voice was cold and detached.
Hearing this,
Daniel imdiately understood.
Freya's unicorn bloodline must have co from her father.
A father who had abandoned his wife and daughter.
As for finding him…
A man who could abandon his family wouldn't be easy to track down.
At that mont,
a figure approached.
"Freya,
why are you taking so long?
Godfrey is almost at the bottom of the lake!"
A woman erged from the water,
calling out to Freya.
But upon seeing three unfamiliar figures,
she froze.
"Dana?! You're here too?"
For the first ti,
Bliss spoke up—
his tone filled with unmistakable joy.
At that mont,
Daniel finally realized Bliss's wish.
So that's what it was.
Bliss, who looked so serious and righteous…
turned out to be this kind of person!
He had actually used the wish fruit
to chase after a girl!
Now Daniel was curious—
if Bliss hadn't been able to enter the secret realm,
what would he have done?
Judging by Bliss's expression,
it was clear—
he had been secretly in love with Dana for a long ti.
After a brief conversation,
Daniel understood the situation.
Dana was similar to Bliss.
She had perford well in the Enlightennt Competition
and used the opportunity to enter the secret realm.
Before Freya had left,
she had asked Dana to guard the magic array.
Now, seeing that Godfrey was nearly at the lake bottom,
Dana had co to check on Freya.
"Do you have any more questions?
I don't want to miss this opportunity,"
Freya asked impatiently.
She knew that
without Daniel's permission,
she wouldn't even be able to approach the lake. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
"Go ahead."
Daniel replied indifferently.
Hearing this,
Freya sighed in relief
and imdiately dove into the lake.
Dana was about to follow when Bliss called out,
"Dana, are you really going down too?"
"I an…
For people like us,
this kind of opportunity is far too unrealistic.
Maybe we should just wait here for the results."
Bliss suggested.
"No,
our teacher instructed to stay by my senior sister's side
and ensure her safety."
Though Freya showed little respect for Dana,
Dana still wanted to fulfill her duty.
Just as Dana was about to enter the lake,
Daniel suddenly spoke:
"Relax.
Freya will be fine.
Because at the bottom of this lake…
There's nothing there at all."
