Chapter 680: The Linghuan Secret Realm?

Ye Feng was taken aback. Xun Ming actually thought he had the conditions? He shook his head and smiled, “It’s not about having conditions. I still need to participate in the Strongest Fighters Competition tomorrow, so I don’t have time to guard you while you take the pill. Therefore, I need to put you inside a time-accelerating treasure so you can take the pill there.”
“Ah…” Xun Ming’s face turned red instantly. He asked awkwardly, “Are you really willing to help me like this? Without any conditions?”
“The senior also helped me! In the secret realm where the Chongxuan Tower is located, I’ve already received many benefits,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “And I promised the senior back then that I’d help him recover fully.”
“Then fine!” A strange look flashed in Xun Ming’s eyes as he suddenly asked, “How many years has it been since the start of the Star Realm era?”
“The 77th cycle of the 8th Era—888,987,654,320 Star Realm years. (PS. One cycle = 1 trillion years; when 100 cycles are completed, an era ends.)” Ye Feng replied casually. Though the number was long, he remembered it clearly.
“It’s already the 77th cycle?” Xun Ming frowned slightly before lifting his head after a while. “I get it. Please send me in!”
After sending Xun Ming into the Absolute Martial Ark, Ye Feng finally let him take the Qi Jue Bu Hun Dan.
Inside the Absolute Martial Ark, Xun Ming stayed for over a month before waking up again. His originally weak soul had now solidified into something tangible, and he appeared full of energy.
“Haha, thank you so much, young Ye Feng!” Upon waking and seeing Ye Feng beside him, Xun Ming quickly greeted him. “Now, although my soul is still at the peak of the Star Universe level, it’s two to three times stronger than before. With a little more time, I can find a body to possess.”
“Possess a body?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. He naturally understood what possession meant—it involved erasing someone else’s soul and taking over their body. The key was that the person being possessed had to be alive; it couldn’t be done just by finding any corpse. Erasing someone’s soul meant their true death, preventing them from entering reincarnation. Ye Feng wasn’t keen on doing such things. Although he had mastered nine soul-related divine techniques, he usually didn’t use them lightly, and even when he did, it was only as a supplement.
“There’s no other way. The soul needs a host. Otherwise, how can it just float around?” Xun Ming said helplessly. “Reincarnating and starting over takes too much time. Even if I really want to reincarnate, I must kill my enemies first.”

“Your enemy?” Ye Feng was taken aback. Only then did he remember that Xun Ming wouldn’t have turned into a wisp of residual soul for no reason—someone must have harmed him to turn him into this state.
“A guy who coveted my most powerful spiritual treasure back then and pretended to be friendly with me. I was truly blind to think of him as a friend,” Xun Ming said, filled with anger. “He took advantage of me fighting with someone else to sneak up from behind and try to seize my most powerful spiritual treasure. Unexpectedly, the treasure protected its master and saved my life, but only left me with a wisp of residual soul to survive. To avoid being hunted by him, I used my last strength to split the treasure into parts and hide them in different places.”
Ye Feng’s soul power searched through the void, “A free privilege: obtain the best physical body for the soul to reside in, preferably one that allows cultivation.”
“Use a free item to gain a privilege once: a peak-level Star Universe physical body. This is a top-tier physical body from the primary main plane, capable of 100% compatibility with the soul and allowing for cultivation…”
“I happen to have an upgradable physical body here that I don’t need. I’ll give it to you!” Ye Feng said as he took out the physical body.
Xun Ming was also surprised but quickly fixed his gaze on it. “Great stuff! Such a perfect physical body, and it’s even upgradable? I just wonder about the compatibility level…”
“100% compatibility. Spend a few days getting used to it, and it’ll be no different from your original body,” Ye Feng said with a smile as he handed the transparent coffin containing the physical body to Xun Ming. “This is yours now!”
Hearing this, Xun Ming was overjoyed. He rushed into the physical body.
After a while, the body’s heart finally started beating again, and its eyes slowly opened. Once its vital signs were detected, the coffin automatically opened, and Xun Ming stepped out.
“Hehe, this body is really useful. Much better than possession, and much more convenient too,” Xun Ming said with a smile.
“You don’t need to reincarnate either,” Ye Feng nodded.
“Thank you!” Xun Ming was very happy. “You’ve given me so much; I certainly can’t take it for free.”
Ye Feng became curious about what Xun Ming might give him in return.

“I’ll tell you where a secret realm is.” Xun Ming’s words piqued Ye Feng’s interest a bit. “The secret realm I’m talking about is called the Langhuan Secret Realm. It used to be the headquarters of a super sect in the Void Realm—Wuzong. This headquarters itself was an enormous secret realm, accounting for one-tenth the size of a primary main plane. That’s why many other sects coveted it. So, those sects united to launch a massive attack on Wuzong, and in the end, Wuzong, that super sect, disappeared. The Langhuan Secret Realm was shattered into six fragments by the besieged using secret magic and divided among them. But when it was shattered with magic, something went wrong—the realm split into seven fragments. The most core fragment, containing Wuzong’s main hall, rushed into the spatial chaos and vanished. And the secret realm I’m referring to is this core fragment.”
“You mean that core fragment of the Langhuan Secret Realm will appear in this realm?” Ye Feng became excited after hearing this story. In the Void Realm, those considered super sects were all guarded by extremely powerful void treasures, with countless treasures in total.
“That’s right. But very few people know about this. The Langhuan Secret Realm first appeared in the Star Realm during the seventh cycle of the Eighth Era. After that, it appears every seven cycles. This is the seventy-seventh cycle. Moreover, after checking the years, if our previous calculations are correct, the Langhuan Secret Realm should appear next year.” Xun Ming’s words made Ye Feng even more eager.
“Is there any other condition to open this realm besides time? Are there any entry requirements? For example, can’t one enter if certain conditions aren’t met?” Ye Feng pressed further.
“There are no opening conditions. However, the Langhuan Secret Realm is located at the very center of the Chaotic Star Sea. Usually, there’s a strange barrier there that makes it impossible to enter. Only when the realm is about to open does that barrier disappear, revealing the Langhuan Secret Realm itself.” Xun Ming wasn’t willing to hide anything.
“At the very center of the Chaotic Star Sea?!” Ye Feng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. “Isn’t that the place where the Heavenly Dao Master passed on his teachings to us? And my Sky-Piercing Tower also comes from there… How could there be another secret realm?”
