Xiao Chen knew there had to be some kind of danger lurking around the crystal.
So he had already prepared his defenses, silently chanting the name of the Jade Platform Fire Lotus.
But when he discovered the danger was just some vines, he was actually a little disappointed, and even a bit confused.
Admittedly, the vines were somewhat deadly.
'But this alone probably wouldn't be enough to threaten elite cultivators, would it?'
After all, the Cangran Secret Realm had been around for a very long time. It wouldn't make sense for only the map to leak without any accompanying warnings.
'So, there must be other dangers?'
Xiao Chen scanned his surroundings, remaining on high alert.
He wasn't afraid of an ambush from other cultivators, but if the danger came from the Secret Realm itself, things could get unpredictable.
He didn't want to activate the Blade of Night unless it was a critical moment.
