Chapter 523: Heading to the Secret Realm

The group finally managed to get organized. Over 20,000 years of seclusion in the divine realm had left everyone quite tired.
Jin looked at the crowd of colleagues in the room and couldn’t help but marvel inwardly—Ye Feng had so many powerful allies around him.
“During the time we were in seclusion, I searched for many ruins. Most of them were relics of top-tier ancient sects, so their treasures should be far better than those of the Danquan Sect before. There are also two or three first-rate second-tier sects. With so many of us, we can split up and go separately,” Jin explained his plan.
“There’s no need to split up. Since our time periods differ, we can explore them one by one,” Ye Feng said. In his view, sweeping through ruins was extremely simple—each could be cleared in just a couple of days at most.
“The reason I suggested splitting up isn’t because of these ruins, but because of something else,” Jin replied immediately after hearing Ye Feng’s words. “A secret realm is about to open soon. Unlike other secret realms, this one is called the Roaring Abyss. Not only can humans enter, but even the magical beasts of the four forbidden lands, as well as some powerful beasts from the Endless Abyss, will come here to seek treasures. This secret realm will remain open for a hundred years before closing automatically. That’s why I suggest we act separately—after all, many ruins will open during those hundred years.”
“I’ve already explored the Endless Abyss using my soul power, and there are no fewer than a hundred powerful holy-grade magical beasts there. The journey to this secret realm will surely be extremely dangerous. So my suggestion is that I and Xiaobai go together, and I’ll bring my fire-type clone along. The other three clones can lead you to explore those ruins,” Ye Feng said. He knew that to enter the Roaring Abyss, one needed the ability to protect themselves. Here, only Bai Yiyi had holy-grade cultivation, and his own soul strength was also formidable. With just soul attacks, he might be invincible across the entire divine realm, so he should be fine.
“I want to go!” Long Tian was the first to object. “Don’t worry. Although I’m not a match for holy-grade warriors now, I can still protect myself.”
“Boss, I want to go too. As long as I don’t encounter soul attacks, I should be fine,” Shi Tuo called out eagerly.

“Actually, Xiaoyu, Xiaobei, Qingwen, and the others can all go,” Bai Yiyi said with a smile. “They can easily blend in with the beast herd; the magical beasts won’t attack them because they’re of the same kind. Those beasts only attack humans. If the lord is still worried, I can take them and hide them among the beasts. In that Endless Abyssal Sea, even the strongest magical beasts are only at the Holy Spirit level, and most of those at the Saint level are roughly on par with me…”

“Boss, we promise to listen to Sister Bai!” Xiaoyu and Xiaobei looked at Ye Feng with pleading eyes. Qingwen and Shitou were also very eager.

“Alright then, Yiyi, take care of them. Leave the treasure-hunting to me; just focus on protecting yourselves.” After a brief silence, Ye Feng finally nodded. “Long Ge, bring both of your avatars along, just in case.”

“I’ll keep the avatars for fire, water, and earth. If we need to explore the ruins later, you can follow my avatars.”

Although Zhu Zhen and the others were reluctant, they knew their current strength wasn’t enough. Going to that secret realm would only hold Ye Feng back, so they had no choice but to give up.

“To be honest, I really want to enter this secret realm too, but my strength isn’t enough…” Jin couldn’t help but sigh. “Even with a powerful guardian at the small completion stage of the Law cultivation, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.”

“How much time is left before this secret realm opens?” Long Tian, who had remained silent until now, suddenly asked.

“Sixty-three days left,” Jin calculated quickly. “It will take about sixty days to get from here to the location of the secret realm.”

“Where is it?” This time, it was Ye Feng who asked.

“On the east coast of the Endless Abyssal Sea, not far from the coastline,” Jin said as he pulled out a map of the Divine Realm Continent from his storage ring and drew a straight line across it.

“Is it within the territory of the Ascendants’ Alliance?” Ye Feng asked casually.

“You could say so, or you could say no,” Jin replied ambiguously. “To the east of Sent City, it is indeed within the territory of the Ascendants’ Alliance, but beyond the coastline, it’s part of the Endless Abyssal Sea—a paradise for magical beasts.”

“Are the magical beasts in the Endless Abyssal Sea always stronger than those in the Divine Realm Continent?” Ye Feng continued, as his soul power had confirmed that there were far more powerful magical beasts in the Endless Abyssal Sea than in the four forbidden lands. It could be said that even the few beast kings in those four forbidden lands would only be at a moderately high cultivation level in the Endless Abyssal Sea.

“That’s natural. The Endless Abyss covers an area nearly ten times that of the Divine Realm Continent, and there are countless times more types of magical beasts. Even in the ancient Divine Realm, the strongest magical beasts all came from the Endless Abyss. Most of the magical beasts in my Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts were captured from there,” Jin said with an air of certainty.

After learning more about the conditions of this secret realm and organizing the team, Ye Feng borrowed a airship from Jin and also borrowed a magical beast at the ninth level of the Law cultivation to pilot it. He, along with Long Tian, Bai Yiyi, and other magical beasts, entered the Refining Realm once again.

Sixty-something days, accelerated by ten thousand times, equaled over six hundred thousand days in the Divine Realm, or 6,850 Earth years. Ye Feng had no intention of wasting such time.

Such a long period would be enough for Ye Yan to cultivate all four laws to the second stage of perfection, leaving him time to practice the corresponding techniques. Although Ye Feng wasn’t sure whether those techniques mentioned in the martial manuals were actually laws.

Though only his soul had reached the Saint level, Ye Feng also discovered that the damaged realm within him had become connected to him. He had previously thought that reaching the Saint level in cultivation was necessary to open that realm, but it turned out that only reaching the Saint level in soul cultivation was sufficient.

With just a slight use of his soul power, a crack appeared in the realm. Ye Feng quickly retracted his soul power and entered the realm.

“Lord Realm Master!” Mo Xing and the others noticed Ye Feng the moment he entered the realm and appeared beside him in an instant.

“Your soul…” The three Dark Lords quickly detected the change in Ye Feng.

“That’s right. It has reached the Saint Emperor level,” Ye Feng nodded.

“During your absence, many warriors who originally had only a fighting mindset developed new souls, but these souls are still weak. If attacked, they might be erased, so we don’t recommend summoning them to fight. That would only result in the loss of strong combat power. In particular, there are over twenty individuals whose strength was second only to ours before they perished. Once their souls are regenerated, their combat power will be unimaginable. If you need to summon warriors to fight for you, call those with intact souls. Although there aren’t many, they are all powerful fighters. Even those who entered this space at the initial stage of the Saint level now have soul cultivation at least at the Saint Spirit level.”

“What would happen if I fully repaired this realm?” Ye Feng asked.

“We will be given complete bodies and turn back into beings with flesh and blood. It’s just harder to repair the souls, but the repair speed will be much faster,” Mo Xing explained.
“Wait a moment. I’ll refine the Laws of Elements first and see if I can directly repair this realm,” Ye Feng said as he rose into the air. He input another 99 laws and secret patterns into the three spheres that already contained 99 such patterns, causing their sizes to double instantly. At the same time, he created a fourth earth-yellow sphere and input 198 laws and secret patterns into it before slowly returning to the ground.
“Use the Ultimate Repair Law to fix this damaged realm!” Ye Feng extended his soul power into the void, aiming to use the power of the laws to repair the realm. After all, the Repair Law had evolved once before, so its effectiveness should have improved, and he wanted to give it a try.
“One use of the Ultimate Repair Law—repair begins!”
The sudden appearance of these words in front of Ye Feng took him by surprise. “Don’t we need to move everyone out of the realm first before starting? Why did it begin right away?”
“The inhabitants of this realm are the original natives; there’s no need to move them. No repulsion force will be generated during repair,” another line of text appeared before Ye Feng’s eyes.
Watching the sky in the realm gradually brighten and the fractured spaces rapidly repair themselves at a visible pace, even the desertified land starting to turn green, Mo Xing and the others were stunned.
“This is…”
Ye Feng also looked around. What was once a desolate, war-torn city had now transformed into a pollution-free green world—a change that was undoubtedly astonishing.
When the last fractured space was repaired, another line of text appeared before Ye Feng’s eyes: Repair completed!
Mo Xing and the others were speechless, their mouths agape. The change was too shocking and too wonderful for them.
“My physical wounds…” The tall Dark Lord beside Mo Xing looked in surprise at his left waist. “Wounds that couldn’t be healed even after all these years have healed instantly…”
“My soul’s wounds have also fully recovered…” The female Dark Lord also noticed the changes in herself.
What were once powerful beings in the form of skeletons and zombies now all had brand-new flesh and blood bodies.

More than a dozen powerful beings whose souls had been damaged, second only to the three great Dark Lords, suddenly appeared beside Ye Feng. “Lord Realm Master, thank you. If not for you, we wouldn’t know until what year or month our souls could be repaired.”
“Your souls have all been repaired?” Mo Xing asked in confusion. “But even if the realm is restored, repairing souls should be a slow process. How could they be repaired in an instant?”
“We don’t know either. We just felt a strange force surge into our bodies, instantly restoring our souls to their full state,” said a man with a dark face, also looking puzzled.
“I used restoration and governance techniques to repair the entire realm, including you native inhabitants,” Ye Feng explained, having obtained relevant information from the Void Realm. “As long as the soul isn’t completely destroyed or vanished, even if there’s just a tiny fragment of consciousness, it can be restored to a complete soul for you.”
“In that case, basically all the millions of beings here with combat awareness will be restored to their full state…” Mo Xing and the others were even more stunned. “Lord Realm Master is truly mighty. It seems we really didn’t choose the wrong person this time.”
“Yes, indeed,” the others agreed.
“Gather them together. I want to see how much combat strength they have and what level they’re at!” This was Ye Feng’s first order since becoming the Realm Master.
