Everyone was scrambling to absorb spiritual energy near Qiao Mu, but it wasn't long before they discovered a terrifying truth. They couldn't absorb even a single wisp of spiritual energy! What was going on?
Chen Baojia and a few others opened their eyes in horror and bewilderment, trying to get a clear view of Qiao Mu. However, the little stoic was completely enveloped by thick spiritual energy, swirling around her like a vortex. And with several defensive barriers protecting her, it was nearly impossible to see her true state. Gu Yixuan also tried hard to discern the little stoic's current situation, but unfortunately, it was very difficult.
Qiao Mu had no idea what outsiders were thinking; at this moment, she was diligently absorbing the endlessly surging spiritual energy from all directions, with no time to pay attention to anyone else. In her inner vision, all that spiritual energy was pouring into her Dantian Star Domain.
The little tree now looked incredibly lush, having transformed from a pitiful, bare tree to one that radiated vitality. Qiao Mu's heart filled with joy as she watched. She thought of the little tree that had accompanied her through so many years in the void, and recalled its pitiful appearance as a half-dead piece of wood. Seeing it now, she couldn't be happier. It's constantly developing in a better direction, Qiao Mu thought to herself. It will be even better in the future...
This Sun-Moon Secret Realm was larger than the Peach Blossom Star, even almost twice its size. In all these days, Qiao Mu had actually never explored every part of the Sun-Moon Secret Realm. To completely refine it now would require at least two hours.
As vast amounts of spiritual energy flowed into the Star Domain Dantian, the little tree's body swayed slightly, bathed in the light of the spiritual energy. The entire Sun-Moon Secret Realm, amid a tremor, was slowly, bit by bit, quietly crumbling.
Initially, Gu Yixuan and the others naturally didn't understand the situation. But gradually, as the ground began to crack and everything within the secret realm started to blur, everyone clearly realized that things were developing in a bizarre direction.
The secret realm was collapsing!!
Alarm bells rang in everyone's hearts. Led by Gu Yixuan, they quickly enveloped themselves in defensive shields, exchanging panicked glances: "What's happening?"
"Is the secret realm collapsing?"
"We still have at least twenty days before we're supposed to leave, don't we?"
"How could this perfectly fine secret realm suddenly collapse??"
No one could possibly connect the collapse of the secret realm to Qiao Mu. In their eyes, Qiao Mu was powerful, but... refining an entire secret realm? What kind of joke is that? This joke was far too unfunny.
Qiao Mu didn't know what was on their minds, nor did she care what they thought of her. As she silently absorbed and refined, she suddenly opened her eyes.
At the same time, the entire secret realm instantly shattered, and everyone was sent flying amidst chaos and shouts. Qiao Mu reached out and pocketed a smoothly refined pearl, unnoticed by anyone. At this moment, a swirling current of spiritual energy still enveloped her, and three layers of defensive barriers further protected her body, making it impossible for anyone to discern her subtle movements.
The Sun-Moon Secret Realm had been successfully refined!
A faint, playful smile appeared on Qiao Mu's lips.
