All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Go ahead and make a scene! The more you cause trouble, the more disappointed your grandfather will be in you.

One day, you'll squander all of your grandfather's love.

Once you leave, everything will go back to square one.

Once you leave the Hai family, you will lose their protection and die even faster. I will make sure you die without a burial place.

Feng Ning, you can't beat me after all!

Feng Ning simply looked at him quietly. "I've been alone for the past ten years or so. I don't need family, and I won't in the future. You saved my life, and I helped the Hai family get a few more spots. That evens things out."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without looking back at all.

Grandpa Hai immediately cast a spell to immobilize her.

Feng Ning was almost laughing in anger. "Old Master Hai, are you trying to keep me here in this way? Then I can tell you clearly that you'd better kill me now and leave my body in the Hai family. If I step into the Hai family alive today, I will immediately commit suicide."

Grandpa Hai was so angry that he suffered a heart attack.

"Are you really so heartless? You're unwilling to fulfill this old man's dream?"

“Grandpa Hai, this is not fair. If your real granddaughter comes back one day, how am I supposed to face her? If my family comes back one day, how are you supposed to face them? We were strangers to begin with, why make things complicated? Why don’t you keep that little bit of hope in your heart and continue searching? Maybe you really will find your real granddaughter?”

Neither of them could convince the other.

But in the end, Old Master Hai backed down. "Fine, fine. If you really don't want to stay in the Hai family at all, what can I do even if I force you to stay? You can leave, but you earned that spot yourself. I'll save one for you. You can still go to the secret realm in a few days."

Then he waved his hand and released the restriction.

Feng Ning didn't answer and left directly.

Her departure caused sorrow and worry for some, but none of that mattered to her anymore.

She left nothing behind at the Hai family home, nor did she take anything with her; this time, her departure was quite decisive.

After she went out, she first bought some daily necessities, and then found an inn to stay in.

Many people have come to Hunyuan City recently. If it weren't for the fact that the city is large enough and there are enough inns, she probably wouldn't have a place to stay tonight.

After she found an inn to stay at, she set up a protective array around the inn to isolate her aura.

It must be said that her studies during this period have been effective.

Formations are different from combat techniques, which require constant battles and competition with others to improve.

However, formations are different; once you understand them, you can use them.

She continued cultivating until the secret realm opened, at which point she ended her cultivation.

As soon as they stepped outside, they ran into a group of people who had also come out of the inn.

One of the little girls tilted her head and observed her for a while.

The people accompanying him blocked her view.

"Miss, don't look, it's scary."

The little girl then looked away and stopped paying attention.

Feng Ning also noticed the commotion on their side, but did not linger.

But there were too many people today, so to prevent anything unpleasant from happening, she wore a small hat to cover her face.

All five hundred people gathered in the square.

Steward Liu handed out identity tags to everyone and asked them to carve their names and leave their spiritual imprints on them.

After taking it, they immediately opened the teleportation channel to the secret realm.

This secret realm is a separate space with restrictions on cultivation levels; only those below the Golden Core stage can enter.

When they went to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts before, they were able to observe the situation inside the forest and promptly detect anything amiss.

But things are different in the secret realm. There is no water mirror or any place to observe in the secret realm.

Once these people go in, they are basically responsible for their own lives.

It is rich in resources and full of opportunities; it all depends on one's own abilities.

Of course, it does not restrict killing for treasure.

Therefore, even if you find the treasure, you may not be able to live to the end and take it out with you.

It still comes down to ability.

When Feng Ning entered, she was teleported to a forest.

It looks perfectly normal; there's nothing strange about it.

She determined the direction and headed deeper into the forest.

Along the way, they only encountered some low-level demonic beasts and some very common spiritual herbs.

She didn't miss any of the treasures she could see.

She's still a penniless bum who's living off her savings.

Ye Yuan left behind some spirit stones, and the original owner's mother left behind some gold bricks.

But once these things are gone, they're truly gone.

Especially the little Vermilion Bird, whose food is spirit stones. The spirit stones picked up from under the lava are not enough for it to eat until it reaches maturity.

She still needs to find ways to earn spirit stones, so she's not willing to let any treasure slip by.

She collected all the medicinal herbs and magical beasts she encountered along the way into her spatial storage.

Upon seeing these spirit beasts, she suddenly thought of the Beast Taming Technique.

Yes, isn't now the perfect time to master beast taming? There are plenty of spirit beasts here for her to experiment on!

She immediately became excited and began searching for the spirit beast.

She first encountered a Xuanwei Rock Serpent, a first-tier demon beast, less than two fingers thick and a little over half a meter long, with an earthy body and a crimson tail, looking extremely alluring.

The moment the Blacktail Rock Serpent saw her, it attacked immediately, giving her no chance to react.

She quickly stepped back a few paces to a safe distance and used her magic to try to communicate with it.

The attacking figure of the Blacktail Rock Serpent suddenly paused, its originally fierce gaze turning dull.

"Turn around."

The Blacktail Rock Serpent obediently turned around in place and continued to look at her with a confused expression.

Feng Ning was very happy and directed it to pick up a herb from not far away, instructing it not to damage the flowers and leaves.

It obediently carried it over.

Feng Ning squatted down and patted its head twice. "Good boy, go play now."

Then, the little snake turned and left.

Feng Ning was very happy that the first experiment was a success.

After that, she tried a few more times, and unsurprisingly, she succeeded each time.

But she only tried first and second-tier demonic beasts and spirit beasts.

I haven't summoned any Tier 3 monsters yet, and if I encounter one, I'll avoid it if possible.

After all, she couldn't handle a third-tier demon beast. If she summoned one, it would be fine if it obeyed, but if it didn't, she wouldn't even have a chance to resist and would be dead.

She valued her life highly and didn't want to die here, so she didn't provoke those third-tier demonic beasts.

Sometimes, when she encounters a second-tier monster, she will choose to fight it for a while to improve her combat skills.
