What secret?
He didn't know either.
But according to experience, there were only a few possibilities.
It was either a hidden Immortal Fate or an old monster lying dormant.
Or perhaps there was a predecessor's Cave Mansion or a secret domain fraught with danger.
All were great opportunities!
They were also great perils!
That was why he felt so uneasy.
One after another, over a hundred Cultivators had fallen and disappeared into Dongting Lake.
Among them were no lack of experts in the late stages of Qi Cultivation.
Although the youth also had late-stage Qi Cultivation, he didn't think he was much stronger than those who had gone missing.
Therefore, he had never dared to venture deep into Dongting Lake but instead set up his base in Mansion City, ordering his subordinates to probe around cautiously with all sorts of methods. Only after several months of careful investigation did he finally confirm the location.
