I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

Hungry Monkey forced a dry laugh, not quite sure how to respond. He wasn't certain whether Miao was praising him or mocking him.

The place was concealed.

Outsiders definitely couldn't enter anymore.

But the fact that they absolutely couldn't get in was a big problem.

...

"What do you mean?"

Chen Miao glanced at the coordinates on his wristwatch and then looked up at Hungry Monkey: "Actually, we don't necessarily have to reach the target location. This place is concealed enough. Although it's not the deepest part of The Land of Extreme Cold, it's sufficient."

"It should be impossible for anyone to intrude here."

"There's also a highway, which makes it convenient for us to access the outside world via the Hell Bus."

Having said that,

Chen Miao, who had made up his mind, immediately took out the "Heavenly Palace" item from his chest, preparing to set up the new base right here on this empty piece of ground.

However—

Just as he used the dotted line to define the perimeter of the domain, a prompt box suddenly popped up before his eyes.

'Ding, it has been detected that the open space before you is not unclaimed land, and the Heavenly Palace cannot be placed here. Please ensure that the open space is unclaimed before activating the Heavenly Palace.'

At the same time.

In the semi-transparent panel before him, the Secret Realm entrances within the dotted line were flashing red continuously.

The message was clear: his Heavenly Palace couldn't be built on top of Secret Realm entrances. To place the Heavenly Palace here, he would need to clear out all of these entrances, and there was only one way to do that...conquer them.

"This is going to be troublesome..."

Chen Miao frowned, looking at the dense and numerous Secret Realm entrances before him, with all kinds of Secret Realm Levels. To conquer them all would take forever.

But since he was already here,

he certainly couldn't just give up.

He immediately chose an area with lower Secret Realm Level entrances and pondered for a moment before saying: "Let's start from here. Everyone pick a realm you're capable of conquering, and go at your own pace."

"First, clear out a small space to set up the Heavenly Palace, just enough to settle down for tonight."

"Leave the higher levels to me."

...

Immediately after, Chen Miao rode the Hell Bus back to Fengtian City and, after picking up the second batch of people, headed towards one of the Secret Realm entrances.

Although the method was crude,

he couldn't think of any shortcuts.

Just as he was about to enter the Secret Realm, Yuan Buping suddenly strode over from not far away, speaking uncertainly, "Miao, I have a suggestion, I'm not sure if it'll work. Based on our earlier experiments, there is a height limit of 3 meters here."

"That means anything over 3 meters, whether it's buildings, people, or even items, will be instantly frozen solid and then shattered, right?"

"That means, even if we clear out this area and establish our base, the highest structures we can build can't exceed 3 meters. This will impose a lot of restrictions, primarily it must be flat, and many Tower Defense Buildings also can't be constructed."

"This isn't very favorable for us."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Miao glanced at Yuan Buping casually, "Are you suggesting this place isn't suitable? That we need to find another location?"

"I actually quite like this place. It's sufficiently concealed, although living conditions are a bit inconvenient. But these are challenges we can overcome. Here we can quietly grow stronger for a long time."

"That's what's truly precious."

"Not that."

Yuan Buping shook his head and casually pointed his finger at the ground: "My point is, maybe we shouldn't consider placing our base on the surface, but underground. There are no Secret Realm entrances underground, nor any height restriction rules."

"As long as we dig deep enough, there are no height limitations on our structures. So not only would it be concealed, but the Secret Realm entrances and height restrictions could also serve as an excellent cover for us."

"Additionally, with this dead-end road and the existence of the Hell Bus, this place could become an excellent secret base for us, nearly absolutely safe. There are many downsides to underground construction—one of the biggest is not seeing sunlight. But in this special environment, even above ground, there's no sunlight, so there's not much difference from being underground."

"What do you think, Miao?"

"Let me think."

Chen Miao narrowed his eyes and took a pack of cigarettes from his chest, offering one to Yuan Buping and lighting one for himself. As he smoked contemplatively for a moment, he suddenly turned his head to Yuan Buping with a smile: "Not a bad idea; we can consider it."

"But the problem is, it's too cold here. The brothers need to quickly clear a space to build up the Heavenly Palace and activate the Constant Temperature System, otherwise, they won't be able to hold up."

"Is there enough time?"

"Inside the Secret Realm, at least it won't be cold."

"We have enough time!"

Seeing Miao adopting his suggestion, Yuan Buping was extremely excited: "We just need to dig a space three meters deep to start with, no need to make it too big. The brothers already have the experience and the right tools. It will be done quickly."

"Then we can build the Heavenly Palace there first."

"In the days to come, we can slowly dig deeper, until we've created a foundation deep underground that is deep and robust enough to serve as our official base, and then we'll move. That will prevent any problems."

"Okay."

Chen Miao nodded: "Just do as you've said, take the brothers and start working on it. Just be careful not to cause a collapse."

"Understood!"

Afterward, Chen Miao went on his own toward the entrance of the E-Level Secret Realm in front of him. Even though he had scrapped the plan to build the Heavenly Palace on the surface and changed it to building underground, he still intended to enter this Secret Realm.

After all, he needed to perfectly complete an E-Level Secret Realm entrance to successfully level up the Nothingness Space.

Secluded cultivation.

These two words were his plan for the future, and it was not just talk. His strength did not require the outside world; what he needed most was time, and here there were so many Secret Realms to conquer.

Just give him a peaceful year here, and when he emerged, the whole world would be his for the taking.

Too many things had happened recently, causing him some irritability. He didn't like too many unforeseen events. Without sufficient strength, he didn't want to get involved in outside affairs anymore.

...

Soon—

He stepped into the vortex before him, and as a bright flash blinded him, he instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he found himself in a village.

A somewhat familiar village.

No, not familiar; he was certain he had been to this village before, and he had thoroughly searched every corner of it.

He looked at a puddle on the ground next to him and saw his own face reflected in it: wrinkled and an old man with a full head of silver hair.
