The Special Secret Realm Exploration had reached its conclusion. The Infernal Dimension Arc was turning its final page.
Now, one might be thinking: they landed on Taemia, an Apex World in the Infernal Dimension. Hardly a 'Secret Realm.'
But in truth, Apex World Taemia occupied a unique, secluded pocket within the Infernal Dimension, isolated from the rest. So technically, Jamie wasn't lying—this was indeed a 'Secret Realm.'
As for the cultivators, they were set to return to Denerth Prime by day's end, after receiving their rewards from the spirits for their cooperation.
Originally, the plan was to treat the injured and mourn the fallen today, with a victory celebration and reward distribution scheduled for the 17th.
However, the unexpected arrival of Sect Master Chang, the High Elders, and Jamie altered the timeline.
Jamie confirmed that the remaining devil forces posed no threat, presenting a sealed contract with the Infernal Devil King to prove it.
