Bianca admitted it.
The Blacklight chapter of the Raging Tide was very interesting.
But for her, Ashland was the absolute priority for her strategy.
Before thoroughly clearing the Ashland Chapter, she wouldn't spend too much energy on other Secret Realms.
And today, the Ashland Chapter storyline was about to achieve significant progress and breakthroughs.
Because in the past twenty-four hours, Adventurers led by Chronos had pooled their wisdom both online and offline. One or two thousand people collaborated to conduct a comprehensive study of the Everlasting Journey Sutra: Insect's Gift and Everlasting Journey Sutra: Dragon's Homecoming.
Never before in the history of Blackstone Town had the storyline of a Secret Realm made Adventurers so enthusiastic.
Many hands make light work.
With everyone working together, they finally deciphered the specific method for performing Dragon's Homecoming.
This plan was more perfect than the ancient method of severing the Dragon Heritage, but it was also extremely demanding.
The ancient method only required going to Fairyland, finding a material called Dragon Tears, letting the Dragon Heritage Divine Child consume it, and then killing the Divine Child with the Undying Severance, or having the Dragon Heritage attendant commit suicide with the same blade.
This method required sacrificing either the Divine Child or the Dragon Heritage attendant to temporarily sever the Dragon Heritage curse, allowing the other person to return to being a normal human.
However, it only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.
Therefore, the Adventurers decided to complete Dragon's Homecoming.
According to the Everlasting Journey Sutra, three things were required to complete the Dragon's Homecoming plan:
Dragon Tears
Ice Tears
The Child of Rejuvenation
All of them were extremely difficult to obtain.
The Dragon Tears went without saying.
Just reaching Fairyland was already troublesome.
Adventurers needed to collect Lodestone, Fragrant Water Lily, and Everlasting Cherry Incense Wood to create Source Scent. Only with Source Scent could they enter Fairyland; otherwise they wouldn't even be qualified to approach the Source God.
After investigation by dozens of Adventurers in Ashland, and with information provided by Kyle and Emma, they now had a general idea of how to obtain these materials.
The Lodestone might be found in a place called Mizuo Village, deep within Ashland.
The Fragrant Water Lily grew in the Sunken Valley behind Ashland Castle, in a place called Bodhisattva Valley.
As for the Everlasting Cherry Incense Wood, it was even more troublesome. Although the previous Divine Child Jonas had brought an Everlasting Cherry tree from Fairyland, it had withered because Owen the Owl had broken off one of its branches.
In other words, the incense wood could only be obtained by finding Owen.
So complicated.
So troublesome.
The difficulty was extremely high.
But it ignited the fighting spirit of the Adventurers.
Because it was difficult, it was worth challenging.
Because it was difficult, the sense of accomplishment after completing it would be even greater.
Two to three hundred Adventurers focusing on Ashland united. They would spare no effort to complete the great plan of Dragon's Homecoming as quickly as possible.
First, ten Adventurer representatives were selected.
These included Adventurers such as White Crane Sage, Bianca, and Three Reeds.
They all shared two characteristics:
1. They had high ranks and abundant energy, allowing them many attempts.
2. Their exploration progress in Ashland was far ahead of others.
After the top ten representatives were selected, they no longer needed to queue. They could continuously challenge the Secret Realm while others provided support and intelligence.
Only in this way could they ensure the task would be completed in the shortest possible time.
White Crane Sage had not seen Adventurers treat a Secret Realm with such unity and seriousness in many years.
Naturally, he approved.
Bianca had a strong competitive spirit. When she saw hundreds of Adventurers treating the Dragon's Homecoming plan with such importance, she naturally stepped forward.
To be the first to clear Ashland.
If she could be the first to achieve Dragon's Homecoming, it would be a historic event recorded forever in the history of Miracle City.
It had to be done.

Bianca soon set off toward Sunken Valley.
Even with her skill and the Wolf's mobility, the journey still took nearly four hours.
She teleported through a Ghost Buddha statue beneath Ashland Castle and traveled through caves toward the ancient White Serpent Shrine.
This shrine proved that ancient Ashland once worshipped the White Serpent God as a mountain deity.
She continued forward.
Soon she reached the extremely dangerous Sunken Valley, where cliffs thousands of meters high dominated the terrain.
A single mistake would mean instant death.
During this journey she also had to pass the heavily guarded Gun Fort, defended by descendants of ancient Ashland who used powerful firearms.
Even Bianca died nine times before finally fighting her way through the fortress.
At last, she reached Bodhisattva Valley.
And there—
A giant white serpent, nearly five hundred meters long, appeared.
It was the terrifying White Serpent God.
A Tier-3 monster.
Its power was overwhelming.
Bianca barely escaped by hiding inside a cave.
Even watching through the crystal, the Adventurers felt fear.
But Bianca said calmly:
> "Although the White Serpent God is powerful, it must be killed."
Because one of the materials for Ice Tears required a Serpent Fruit.
This fruit was a rare material formed from the essence blood of the White Serpent God.
Even worse, two were required:
One fresh fruit
One dried fruit
The difficulty of Dragon's Homecoming became even clearer.
But Bianca believed they could succeed.

Finally, deep inside the valley, Bianca discovered a giant reclining Buddha statue.
Below it lay shallow water.
And in the center stood a massive white ape guarding a glowing lotus.
Fragrant Water Lily.
One of the three materials needed for Source Scent.
But the monster guarding it was extremely powerful.
Guardian Ape – Tier 2 Four-Star.
The battle began.
After a fierce fight, Bianca pulled the giant sword from the ape's neck and cut off its head.
But the ape stood up again.
A massive Immortal Centipede controlled its body.
After several failed attempts, Bianca finally discovered the correct strategy.
She used the Malcontent Ring and the Loaded Umbrella to counter it.
Then—
With Undying Severance, she cut the centipede in half and stabbed the blade into the corpse.
The giant ape finally collapsed.
They had won.
Bianca collected the Fragrant Water Lily.
Two materials for Source Scent were now within reach.
But Bianca wasn't finished.
She looked toward the valley entrance.
Where the White Serpent God still waited.
> "The Great Serpent's Viscera is required to create Ice Tears."
> "Sooner or later we must fight it."
> "So I might as well try now."
The Adventurers watching through the crystal were stunned.
She had just defeated the Guardian Ape.
And now she wanted to challenge the White Serpent God.
Even Qi Ji—who had been observing the Ashland storyline—was surprised by the speed of their progress.
If everything went smoothly, they might collect all three materials, create the Source Scent, and enter the Source Palace today.
And if Bianca could truly defeat the White Serpent God—
They might achieve the perfect ending:
Dragon's Homecoming.
