Chapter 1506 - 1073: Don’t You Bear Any Responsibility?
Jiang Yuan gestured for him to stay calm.
He selected the array at the entrance to the Secret Realm and clicked to use Skill: True Question 100.
[Skill True Question 100 is being parsed, please wait]
[Array preliminarily parsed, breaking in progress, please wait]
[Array breaking completed, please choose——Enter, Destroy, Restore original state, Set up...]
The entire process lasted less than two minutes, and the lost array at the entrance of the Celestial Path family’s Secret Realm was deciphered. He clicked to enter the settings, found the administrator settings, then chose to add Celestial Path as an administrator.
At the moment of clicking confirm to save, Celestial Path suddenly had an unusual feeling—the entry to the family’s Secret Realm could be used at his command!
"How is that possible?" He was dumbfounded, looking down at his fish tail to confirm that he hadn’t reached the strength to control the Secret Realm. But with a thought, the array slowly opened a gap just wide enough for a mermaid to pass through.
With another thought, the gap slowly closed, and even the entire entrance array vanished!
The feeling of being completely in control, calm and adept, was so wonderful!
This wasn’t a dream, so there was only one possibility. With an astonished yet grateful glance towards Jiang Yuan, Celestial Path choked up, "Thank you, sir, for your help! Celestial Path will never forget this and promises to retrieve the Immortal Spring from the Secret Realm to offer to you!"
Earlier, he had been considering risking damage to the Secret Realm’s entrance in a desperate attempt.
Unexpectedly, with Mr. Jiang’s help, he could completely control the Secret Realm. This way, whether entering or concealing it in the future, it was all within a mere thought. Foreign barbarians cannot invade, and even the Clan Leader and High Priest could not touch the hidden entrance—the family’s Secret Realm was entirely his!
"Although I’ve helped you break the array at the Secret Realm entrance, you are the true successor of the family, so once inside the Secret Realm, you’ll be on your own." Jiang Yuan could certainly enter too, but after all, it was their ancestral Secret Realm.
Since the Immortal Spring is stored inside, there might be more treasures. There shouldn’t be any traps set, as after all, it’s meant for descendants and not a tomb-raiding game.
Family descendants entering to claim a treasure wouldn’t be risking half their lives if they weren’t out of their minds looking for trouble.
Celestial Path expressed gratitude once more.
Jiang Yuan advised, "Once inside, be very careful. We’ll be waiting here, if you encounter danger, prioritize your safety first. Run if you must, call for aid if needed, never jeopardize yourself for external things."
As everyone watched, Celestial Path entered the slowly opening entrance, and his figure quickly disappeared.
To prevent any unforeseen incidents within the Secret Realm requiring rescue, he decided to wait for Celestial Path to return and then carry the Seashell Cave Mansion back to Conch Island. After all, the Mermaid Race’s territory is remote, even if the demon cultivators from the Wilderness detected it, they wouldn’t be able to reach here overnight.
The merfolk had all entered the Seashell Cave Mansion, enjoying the comfortable and peaceful new haven;
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan, waiting at the entrance to the Secret Realm, took out ten Immortal Soul Pills from the Storage Bag and gave them all to Sister Hai Shen.
The system gave no response, apparently trying to exploit a loophole was impossible, they had to wait for all ten Immortal Soul Pills to be refined to count.
"So many elixirs?" Sea Goddess Lu Ji was quite surprised and laughed, "Though they’re mundane items, not yet reaching Immortal Pill Level, they are Ninth Grade Elixirs rarely seen in the world. Brother, where did you obtain so many?"
"Immortal Soul Pills were refined by myself," he patiently replied, "Luckily, the main herbs for refining Immortal Soul Pills are abundant in the Undersea World. Sister, you can snack on them like candy, if you need more once finished, I’ll list out the ingredients, and you can help procure them. I’ll refine a few more batches, you can eat freely by then!"
Unexpectedly, my newly recognized brother was a skilled Alchemist, capable of refining Ninth Grade Elixirs.
Sea Goddess Lu Ji smiled and agreed, "My energy is severely depleted now, even the Ninth Grade Elixirs that ordinary cultivators take have strong nourishing effects on the Sea God body. I can’t immediately consume and refine so many at once, let me know anytime you need any resources."
After saying this, she didn’t hesitate and swallowed an Immortal Soul Pill to begin quiet cultivation and refining.
Jiang Yuan pondered, then fed two pills to the remnants of the Vermilion Bird soul in the adjacent cell. Its condition was even worse, and the refining speed was much slower. Whether the Vermilion Bird could wake up once Little Lark completes the refining of Divine Fire was uncertain.
Without any immediate tasks, he patiently waited for Celestial Path’s return from the Secret Realm, while the prosperous areas of the Undersea World were in chaos.
The sea demon beast clans, yet to awaken intelligence, were particularly serene. They follow survival instincts, sensing trouble and hiding away, directly under the protective range of the Sea God, isolated from the world, entering a dormant state akin to hibernation;
Meanwhile, demon beasts with awakened intelligence quickly divided into two factions.
The conservative faction devoutly worships the Sea God. Even occupying large territories with abundant resources, after the abnormal change in sunset and moon, they immediately retreated to their cave mansions for seclusion, praying for the Sea God’s protection. They too, like the demon beast clans without intelligence, are within the protective range, severing external connections, entering a meditative state;
The other faction, their minds calculating fiercely.
Abandoning their resources is absolutely impossible! Particularly, many Great Demon Beasts still occupy Spirit Stone Veins, those shimmering, sparkly Spirit Stones are akin to money, how can they let foreign barbarians profit?
Yet, if they follow divine decrees to do nothing but hide and worship, waiting for comprehensive Sea God protection, they aren’t so convinced. If the Sea God was truly so powerful, would the sun and moon fall? She couldn’t protect herself!
