Free Web NovelChapter 629: Chapter 315: Yun Yao! Decision!
Entering this Secret Realm, although also dangerous, at least there’s protection from a Nascent Soul influence. As long as he doesn’t seek death by getting involved in the treasure fight in the inner hall, it should be fine.
"Brother Lin, this Secret Realm indeed has opportunities for Nascent Soul advancement. If we go alone, we’d need to search for the Secret Realm Fragment.
By then, it will certainly be another bloody storm. If we’re accompanied by a Nascent Soul cultivator, it can naturally be avoided."
Listening to Yun Yao’s words, Lin Chang’an nodded secretly. This is the advantage of following a powerful sect, at least the ticket for entry doesn’t require a fight.
"Moreover, if Brother Lin goes, perhaps Yun Yao might see Brother Lin again inside the Secret Realm."
At this point, Yun Yao jokingly teased, brushing her green hair lightly past her ear.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an fell silent.
From the information Yun Yao previously revealed, he could deduce this.
This mysterious old demon painstakingly cultivated the Profound Yin Divine Fire and searched for the Extremely Yin and Cold, or the exceptionally Yang Phoenix Cry Bird, also in pursuit of a certain treasure inside the Secret Realm.
These Nascent Soul cultivators have each plotted for a hundred years, making Lin Chang’an shiver in his heart. What exactly is in the most important Secret Realm of the Demon Beast Abyss?
To make these old monsters go to such lengths?
"Yun Yao, you are planning to defect after this Secret Realm, aren’t you?"
Lin Chang’an stared intently at Yun Yao. The last time Yun Yao planned to defect, it was because of a flame of the Profound Yin Divine Fire within her.
Unable to control it, not wanting to be devoured, she wanted to defect.
"Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Brother Lin."
Facing Lin Chang’an’s gaze, Yun Yao smiled charmingly and nodded, acknowledging her plan.
"This mysterious old demon wants to successfully cultivate this Profound Yin Divine Fire, but I’ll make sure it doesn’t go as he wishes."
Yun Yao seemed unwilling to delve deeper into this matter, so she only mentioned it briefly and then began talking about the Secret Realm.
"Brother Lin, on the whole, Bihai Palace is relatively trustworthy. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a dominant force in the Demon Beast Abyss for tens of thousands of years."
"Furthermore, in a trip to the Secret Realm two hundred years ago, Bihai Palace indeed recruited several Loose Cultivators, and three came out alive, one of whom even became a Quasi-Fourth Rank Array Master of Bihai Palace..."
After listening to Yun Yao and incorporating the information he gathered from various sources, Lin Chang’an quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that, at least on the surface, the reputation of Bihai Palace was dependable.
But he wouldn’t let his guard down. As Yun Yao said, even with protection from a Nascent Soul influence, there’s still a risk of falling.
"Moreover, the Tier Three Upper Grade Array inheritance you’ve been searching for, such things might appear at a Nascent Soul cultivators’ trade fair, but are rarely found at market auctions."
Yun Yao’s words were unmistakable; simply put, a difference in strength means interacting in circles of different ranks.
Just like after his Core Formation, whether in mana, vision, or knowledge, it was vastly different from when he was at Foundation Establishment.
At least the Core Formation Spiritual Objects that are extraordinarily difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to obtain, aren’t so unattainable for Core Formation cultivators.
At the very least, the channels exist.
"And with nearly a hundred years until the Secret Realm opens, with Brother Lin’s current talent, it should be time to search for Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects then.
But these Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects are fraught with enormous peril, and entering this Secret Realm with the protection of Bihai Palace’s Nascent Soul cultivators, as long as you don’t enter the inner hall, you can choose to withdraw right after completing the task..."
Listening to Yun Yao’s analysis, Lin Chang’an nodded in private.
This was a reasoning he understood, mainly a matter of intelligence discrepancy.
"In that case, it seems I really should venture into the most important Secret Realm of the Demon Beast Abyss."
Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects!
Yun Yao also noticed Lin Chang’an’s interest, but she immediately poured cold water on it.
"Brother Lin, although there is protection from Bihai Palace, major Nascent Soul cultivators would not easily strike against juniors, to avoid battle before entering the inner hall.
But the dangers within the Secret Realm are numerous: ghost winds, gang winds, poisonous fog, extreme cold, flames, etc. Even Core Formation Late Stage cultivators would fall if unprepared."
Hearing Yun Yao list the dangers of the Secret Realm like a treasure chest, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel awe.
This truly is a perilous land.
And the reason Yun Yao knew this so well is because after reaching Core Formation, with the faint flame of the Profound Yin Divine Fire planted within her, she was destined to enter the Secret Realm.
The mysterious old demon, naturally, withheld nothing regarding the situation inside the Secret Realm.
"The most important Secret Realm of the Demon Beast Abyss, then!"
Yet Lin Chang’an pondered silently, this matter differed from the past.
It was said that before it opened a hundred years later, he could still make decisions at any time.
But currently, once he agreed, he would receive half of the benefits promised by the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace.
Inheritances of Tier Three Upper Grade Arrays, insights from Nascent Soul cultivators during Core Formation, and even parts of the permissions of the Pavilion of Treasures promised by Master Tan.
Once these benefits were in hand, there would be no room for regret.
Otherwise, if he backed out at the last minute, he would be hunted by Nascent Soul cultivators and the major force in the Demon Beast Abyss, Bihai Palace.
"It seems tomorrow I need to visit Master Tan and the Sixth Elder."
One must act decisively; Lin Chang’an, though cautious, wouldn’t dawdle when it came to making choices.
And Yun Yao did not dissuade, instead showing a smile.
Because when Lin Chang’an reincarnated as a cultivator, it was impossible for him to be satisfied with just Core Formation; he was surely going to take his chances.
In her view, rather than aimlessly searching for Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects, wasting precious time and facing equal dangers, it was better to try their luck in the Secret Realm.
As long as he’s not greedy, going to this Secret Realm, might not end up larger than finding Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects alone.
...
"However Yun Yao, your Divine Sense injuries could take at least a month to recover."
In the box, Lin Chang’an reminded solemnly that injuries to the Divine Sense take far longer to heal than physical wounds.
"And as for the Profound Yin Spiritual Fire within you, although it’s just a flame, it continues to consume your mana to grow stronger. If you have time later, remember to come by."
Yun Yao’s injuries were manageable and would eventually heal.
But this flame within her, even he could do nothing about.
As Yun Yao said, since the mysterious old demon could cultivate this divine technique, naturally, the Profound Yin Spiritual Fire nurtured by her Golden Core power could also be cultivated and mastered.
The prerequisite is relying on Lin Chang’an’s mana to assist in purifying and controlling it.
"Rest assured, Brother Lin. Although the Yin Soul Sect Secret Realm transformed into a ghostly domain, I can just be considered to have turned misfortune into gain. This Profound Yin Spiritual Fire is extremely Yin and Cold.
Through the Secret Techniques passed down by the old demon, it can just take advantage of these Yin Spirits to cultivate, while nourishing the Spiritual Fire."
The Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea may not lack Yin Spirits, but hunting high-tiered Yin Spirits is no small undertaking. This ghostly domain was plain as day right in front of them.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an came to a realization, while Yun Yao showed a smile.
Implying that unless something major occurred, she’d also be in the sea area around the ghostly domain.
They could just as well rely on dual cultivation to accelerate strengthening.
After Lin Chang’an treated Yun Yao’s injuries in the box, they had a rare reunion.
Then, sharing drinks, they discussed a lot, especially about Ghost Cultivators and Yin Spirits, which Yun Yao clearly knew much more about.
...
The next day.
Lin Chang’an prepared a gift and went to visit Master Tan.
Master Tan was delighted, personally taking him to visit this Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Elder, this is the Loose Cultivator Lin Chang’an."
In a majestic palace, after seeing Lin Chang’an brought in by Master Tan, the Sixth Elder merely nodded lightly.
"A mere Loose Cultivator, reincarnated one, yet with a firm dao heart. Rest assured, Bihai Palace will keep its promise to you without lessening an ounce, including the information in the Secret Realm.
And part of the high-tier resources from the Pavilion of Treasures will be open to you, but the prerequisite is that you must grasp the way of arrays to Tier Three Upper Grade before the Secret Realm opens!"
Confronted with the imposing presence of this Nascent Soul Elder, Lin Chang’an respectfully cupped his hands, saying:
"Thank you, Sixth Elder!"
Should it be an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, pressure might mount, naturally being unable to enter the Secret Realm without a breakthrough.
Facing him might then result in being sold to Bihai Palace.
Yet Lin Chang’an never worried about this point, given his talent, as long as he had proper inheritance and time, he wasn’t inferior.
It was Lin Chang’an’s steadfast gaze, his demeanor having never doubted his own talent for breakthrough, that led this rare smile on the Sixth Elder’s stern face to appear.
"Not bad, should you break through to Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master, I will award you with another one or two protective magical treasures."
This Sixth Elder wouldn’t sit idly by watching his chosen person die before completing any task.
