After confirming the subtle differences between each Spirit Fruit Forest, Qi Tian used these differences as a basis to choose the direction of the more lush Spirit Fruit Forests as his guide to move forward.

In Qi Tian’s view, in an environment with almost no differences, the reason for the disparities in the growth of the Spirit Fruit Forests lay in the unequal distribution of the Spirit Qi. Definitely, the place with denser Spirit Qi would foster better growth of the Spirit Forests.

In a secret realm where directions are indiscernible, moving towards the area with denser Spirit Qi was undoubtedly the right choice.

Qi Tian, riding on his flying sword and maintaining a steady speed, flew forward for about an hour, covering three to four hundred li, then he paused.

Standing on his flying sword, he furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and took out the Sound Transmission Treasure given to him by Cat Ear City to actively contact Gao Yuqiu.

Feeling the activity from the Sound Transmission Treasure, Gao Yuqiu thought something had happened and hurriedly connected, anxiously asking, “Sir, what’s happened?”

Qi Tian said, “Hurry up and come here to meet up. I have something to discuss with you all.”

Knowing Qi Tian’s abilities, Gao Yuqiu viewed the possibility of Qi Tian hesitating during this crucial Holy Land competition as unlikely. Seeing Qi Tian acting so cautiously definitely meant that significant issues had arisen. She quickly notified her teammates and sped up towards Qi Tian’s direction.

Soon, everyone gathered again. As soon as they met, Gao Yuqiu hurriedly asked, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

Qi Tian said, “Let’s land on the ground first. It’s too conspicuous in the air.”

Everyone landed together, and Qi Tian, not choosing to discuss privately with Gao Yuqiu, spoke in front of everyone, “My friends, since we entered this secret realm, we have been like headless flies scrambling around, searching for the right direction. Now, I am at least seventy percent sure that we are moving in the right direction. As long as we follow this, we will increasingly approach the heart of the secret realm, meaning we will encounter opportunities more frequently.”

Hearing this, everyone rejoiced greatly. Throughout their journey, Qi Tian’s abilities had consistently exceeded their expectations, and they now wholly trusted his judgment, not believing that Qi Tian would deceive them on this matter.

Gao Yuqiu asked, “If that’s the case, Qi Tian, why didn’t you continue moving forward and instead called us all here?”

Qi Tian said, “Here’s the issue — I feel that if we continue to advance, we might encounter a ‘tiger on the road’, and no ordinary one at that. If we keep moving in this direction, we will inevitably clash head-on with this ‘tiger on the road’, and a fierce battle awaits us. I wonder if everyone is prepared for this?”

“How severe is this battle going to be? It must be quite serious for you to take it so cautiously,” Xiu Zhengyu’s voice conveyed no small measure of weakness.

Qi Tian said, “It’s several times more severe than the desperate battle we encountered at the Infant Fruit Tree. I’m not just talking about the fight we had with the Tiger Baby Bees, but including all the battles that occurred around the Infant Fruit Tree. On that basis, it’s several times magnified.”

At these words, all team members gasped. The series of battles around the Infant Fruit Tree had been quite troublesome for them. If not for Qi Tian’s timely return, they might well have perished completely. Now Qi Tian was telling them that an even more daunting series of battles awaited them, unavoidably filling them with worry and fear.

Somewhat incredulous, Xiu Zhengyu said, “Qi Tian, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?”

Qi Tian shook his head and said, “I wish I were exaggerating, but the reality is just so. We are still in a relatively safe area, but if we proceed further, we will enter the opponent’s alert zone. One careless move and we could encounter them.”

Xiu Zhengyu asked, “Even if your sensory range is stronger than ours, and you can detect what we can’t, given the considerable distance, how can you be so certain that a high-intensity battle awaits us up ahead?”

Qi Tian said, “There are two ways. One is to wait here; in a day or two, you will understand why I am making such a judgment. The other way is for you to nominate a few good at stealth to move forward in the direction I told you and to scout. With good luck, it might take about an hour to conclude. Choose between these two, but I must declare that if you choose the second method, I will not participate to avoid any impressions that I might be misleading you.”

Gao Yuqiu and the others looked rather solemn. Qi Tian’s words were certainly not without basis, meaning there was indeed great risk ahead. And with Qi Tian declaring that he would not accompany them, if those who went to scout encountered danger, they would face it alone, losing their support, which was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous task.

The team gathered to discuss. They first ruled out the method of taking a detour. Having rushed for several hundred li, they could clearly feel that the direction chosen by Qi Tian this time was much better compared to when they were without clues. If they continued in this direction, perhaps as Qi Tian had said, they would gradually approach the center of the secret realm. Unless they were faced with insurmountable risks, they would not abandon this correct direction.
