Free Web NovelChapter 2773: Chapter 991: Leaving the Secret Realm
Veteran Scholar nodded, then went with Shen Changle and Nangong Lanfeng to Nangong Lanfeng’s courtyard. Following old routines, Nangong Lanfeng attempted to open the Secret Realm, for his courtyard was much like the Veteran Scholar’s Library, with a direct entrance. But this time, after attempting to open the Secret Realm, the entrance remained elusive, as if it didn’t exist...
"What’s going on? Why isn’t it opening?" Nangong Lanfeng frowned.
"Maybe it hasn’t been opened yet; Dean, try once more!" Shen Changle suggested, puzzled.
Nangong Lanfeng tried again, and once more it was as calm as ever—nothing happened. Though the Cloud Underworld Secret Realm opens once every century, it could be opened earlier or delayed. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have opened it early for Mo Jiuli...
Nangong Lanfeng attempted several more times, but the Secret Realm stubbornly remained closed!
"How could this be? Could something have happened inside?" Veteran Scholar frowned.
"Not necessarily; perhaps the time span of the Secret Realm has extended. Let’s wait a bit longer!" Nangong Lanfeng said, frustrated.
Veteran Scholar knew there was no alternative, so he turned back to the Library. They could only wait, while those inside the Secret Realm were somewhat fortunate. As they explored different regions, finding some treasures, they were initially worried about being teleported out. Now, they hadn’t been, and although puzzled, they felt no danger and continued treasure hunting...
Aside from Yuhai Academy, the people left behind by the Cloud Underworld’s various great families and forces were also anxious but helpless, forced to wait...

Inside the Secret Realm
Mo Jiuli continued to comprehend Elder Shen’s heritage while Di Minghan and others began to faintly perceive the Secret Chamber Mo Jiuli occupied, alongside the faint flicker of divine fire. This indicated Mo Jiuli had comprehended one-third of the heritage, and soon, she’ll completely grasp it, allowing them to fully perceive the exterior scene...
The Divine Fire was amazed at how swiftly Mo Jiuli comprehended, as the Master made it clear before his demise that fully understanding the heritage required at least a few centuries, even for the most talented individuals. Yet Mo Jiuli achieved it in mere days...
If the Divine Fire realized that Mo Jiuli increased the difficulty by combining Elder Shen’s heritage with her own array formations to comprehend faster, it might be dumbstruck...
Three months later, Di Minghan and others clearly perceived the exterior scenes, including Mo Jiuli sitting on the ground comprehending and the jumping divine fire seed nearby...
Yet Mo Jiuli hasn’t awakened; in fact, she’s fully comprehended, making her very pleased with Elder Shen’s heritage, gaining significant insights! Upon completing the comprehension, Mo Jiuli felt an impending advancement. However, she chose not to advance in the Secret Realm, instead suppressing her spiritual power within...
"Cough, cough..." Upon hearing a soft cough, Mo Jiuli moved her divine sense, deliberately rejecting any sounds or stimuli unrelated to her comprehension.
"Hmm? You little girl, having accepted the Old Man’s heritage, are you thinking of sneaking away?!" The voice detected Mo Jiuli’s action, speaking in exasperation.
