"No."
Draelor Loxley explained, "Although regions change, there is one region that never changes, and adventurers call this region the safety zone of the Holy Spring Secret Realm."
"The greatest danger when exploring the Holy Spring Secret Realm isn’t the Great Demons in the realm, but rather the fear of encountering region rotation. Every time it rotates, all adventurers not in the safety zone disappear along with the region."
Carson Flores frowned, "All disappear?"
Draelor Loxley nodded, "Yes, over a dozen times it has happened so far, and the regions that disappeared have never reappeared, nor have any of the adventurers who vanished with them. No one knows what they encounter, nor do they know if they will ever appear again."
Profound River widened his eyes in surprise, "Then if we’re traveling through a region and it resets, are we stuck and unable to get out?"
Draelor Loxley nodded, "Crossing the region to reach the northern safety zone, if traveling at full speed, would take about half a month. As long as we reach the safety zone, even if the region resets, we will be safe."
"But if we’re really that unlucky and the region rotates during this half month, we will disappear with it, and only those who disappear know where they end up and what they face afterward."
"Perhaps they’re just trapped in that region, still surviving, or maybe they’ve been destroyed along with that world..."
Since Carson Flores and the others agreed to help Draelor Loxley capture Ghost True Sage, promising to find a way to remove the poison from him, Draelor Loxley became very cooperative, telling them everything he knew.
For him, Ghost True Sage was a mountain standing over his head, and as long as he was controlled by Ghost True Sage, death was only a matter of time.
Take this time for instance, he was ordered to kill Carson Flores and the others, but ended up being captured. If the group didn’t intend to eliminate Ghost True Sage by the roots, he would’ve been killed already.
Would he be so lucky next time?
Though the group would abolish his cultivation, they promised to find a way to detoxify him, and once the poison was gone, he could easily live for a few hundred years in the Mortal Realm.
He lost his cultivation but gained life and freedom.
Floating Cloud asked, "How long has it been since the last region rotation?"
"About thirty years."
Draelor Loxley answered, "On average, the refresh time is around sixty to seventy years, but it’s not fixed. It can be as short as a decade or as long as over a hundred years. Entering the Holy Spring Secret Realm is more about luck!"
Carson Flores calculated in his mind, half a month to the safety zone and another half month back, that’s one month in total. In a year of twelve months, counting ten years, that’s about a one percent chance, and if the time frame is extended longer, the probability decreases even further.
Statistically, it’s not high, but as long as there’s a probability, it could still happen.
If it happens, it’s 100%; if it doesn’t, it’s 0%.
Floating Cloud said solemnly, "Let’s hurry through at full speed."
Flowing Cloud asked Draelor Loxley, "Are you sure Ghost True Sage will be among them?"
Draelor Loxley answered honestly, "Of course, he wouldn’t tell me where he’s going, but since he’s so severely injured and everyone wants him dead, he won’t be running around. The first thing he’d do is heal, so it’s likely he’s here."
"If he’s not here, I can’t help it, but at least by finding the place, the two injured people can receive treatment."
Everyone knew Draelor Loxley was used by Ghost True Sage as a tool; while he wasn’t exactly a good person, they didn’t blame him too harshly.
The group took a brief pause, gathered some information, confirmed there were no recent changes, and entered the Holy Spring Secret Realm.
The Holy Spring Secret Realm was similar to other Secret Realms, just a small world. The group identified their directions and headed north at full speed.
Though they encountered some troublemakers along the way, in the presence of Floating Cloud and Flowing Cloud, those were standard easy pickings.
Half a month passed quickly.
When the towering peak piercing the clouds appeared ahead, Draelor Loxley breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the peak, "Beyond the peak lies the safety zone."
The group was instantly invigorated. Although they were all very powerful, the uncertainties of the Secret Realm still made them apprehensive.
Didn’t many powerful figures fail or even disappear when trying to unravel the secrets of the Holy Spring Secret Realm?
They didn’t think they were that much stronger than those people, so they chose to be cautious. Better safe than sorry.
The group crossed the peak and their view expanded into a vast expanse.
Beyond the peak was a massive basin, stretching endlessly, dense with lush forests.
Guided by Draelor Loxley, the group moved forward, quickly reaching the edge of the forest, where a boundless lake lay ahead.
Carson Flores looked around, "Isn’t this supposed to be the safety zone? Why is there no one here?"
Draelor Loxley chuckled, "Though this is the safety zone, there’s no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or anything valuable here. People come in for treasures, knowing this is the safety zone, but who would come here to stay?"
