Chapter 589: Chapter 575 Origin of Secret Realm, Lord Hou!_1

The Divine Marquis, revered by millions, must render great service to their people in order to receive the reinforcement of folk spirit and be ennobled, shocking all of the hundred realms present.

A Divine Marquis not only possesses supreme strength but also an indication of one’s status. Those who can be ennobled are inevitably people who have a great destiny bestowed upon them, and they wield profound influence on the entire human race.

Each tribe births its unique tribal fate, whether it’s human or even the weakest race among the Hundred Clans. As long as they can establish their own tribe and obtain recognition from Heaven and Earth, they can give birth to the unique fate of their own tribe.

But among the Hundred Clans of Heaven, the tribal fate of each race is in opposition to each other. When a human warrior slaughters different races, they diminish the tribal fate of other races. This reduction and enhancement in turn indirectly strengthens the tribal fate of the human race.

To become a Divine Marquis, one inevitably needs to slaughter countless different races to gain the blessings of tribal fate. Losing a Divine Marquis is a considerable loss for any tribe.

The Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis fell thousands of years ago, but a trace of regret remained, attached to the wreckage. The human world is vast, and the fate of the tribe stretches to infinity. Who knows through which mysterious method that trace of regret managed to evade detection by the collective will of the tribe.

Now that Xiao Chen has devoured that trace of regret, the folk spirit sensed the fall of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis and hence materialized. Xiao Chen, in turn, devoured the remnant of what was left. From the perspective of the folk spirit’s will, he has made a great merit, hence it descended with purple Qi.

The corpse of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis was burned by the folk spirit’s fire and returned to Desolate Wilds. This brought relief to Xiao Chen, as such a corpse with significant merit for the human race should not be defiled in any way.

As the purple folk spirit dispersed, the secret realm was still filled with a raging sandstorm. The Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis had fallen, leaving behind a ravaged secret realm.

The sky was torn apart, creating a space rift hundreds of miles wide. In the secret realm, the black sand filled the sky, ancient trees toppled and wilted. It could be said that it was on the verge of becoming abandoned.

Space turbulence occasionally swept down from the sky, cutting the remaining ancient trees. To most warriors, even if they could locate and refine the origin of this secret realm, it would not hold much value.

However, Xiao Chen had other ideas.

"Hum, hum, hum!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen held a fist-sized silver crystal stone in his hand. It emitted a dazzling silver light and was filled with a riot of colors. This was the Primordial Stone of this secret realm.

Having refined that remnant of sense, Xiao Chen easily found the Primordial Stone of this secret realm. Like the broken secret realm, the Primordial Stone was also filled with cracks that resembled a spider web, densely packing the stone’s surface.

"I wonder how things will change once the Mountain and River Seal Space absorbs the Primordial Stone of this secret realm!"

A strong light burst forth in Xiao Chen’s eyes. The next thing he planned to do was to let the Mountain and River Seal absorb this Primordial Stone. As for the ruined secret realm within a hundred mile radius, it was of no consequence to him since he already possessed the Mountain and River Seal World.

Having the Mountain and River Seal absorb this Primordial Crystal could expand the Cave Heaven World within the seal. The loss of the Primordial Stone would equate to losing its foundation of existence, thereby hastening the complete disappearance of this secret realm.

Xiao Chen originally intended to bring this Primordial Stone out of the secret realm and then have the Mountain and River Seal absorb it. However, he found that it was almost impossible to take the Primordial Stone out of its respective secret realm unless it was destroyed.

"Hum!"

The Mountain River Seal once again appeared in Xiao Chen’s hand. At that moment, Xiao Chen found it hard to comprehend the situation inside him. When he advanced to the Towering Realm and constructed a nine-storey Martial Arts Tower, the Mountain River Seal had transformed into the base of the tower, forming a unique, tenth-floor Martial Arts Tower.

However, over time, Xiao Chen found that the tower base formed by the Mountain River Seal was not integrated with the nine floors of the Martial Arts Tower. With a thought, the Mountain River Seal could manifest itself before him.

Whoosh!

At the moment Xiao Chen was deep in thought, the Mountain River Seal in his hand suddenly emitted an unprecedented devouring power without warning. The Green Mang shone brightly, forcibly seizing the Primordial Stone from his hand.

As the Green Mang flared up, Xiao Chen’s mind followed along, plunging into the Mountain River Seal Space.

He saw the silver Primordial Stone, transformed into a streak of silver light, speeding towards the chaotic edge of the Mountain River Seal.

Over the years, the Mountain and River Seal Space had grown to the size of a hundred li (approximately 50km) radius, not much different from the realm of this secret realm. Beyond its four edges was a grayish fog, and one could barely perceive a trace of chaotic energy.

Boom, boom, boom!

However, before Xiao Chen could take a closer look, he saw the Primordial Stone that had burrowed into the chaos, bursting forth with an endless light.

Boom!

The formerly calm chaos around the Mountain River Seal suddenly began to rumble at a visible speed, like a giant dragon in the vast ocean, erupting with a terrifying roar.

The rolling chaotic energy stirred violently. Immediately afterward, Xiao Chen saw a huge rift open in the chaos, and the silver light constantly bloomed from the Primordial Stone. The torn grayish space ultimately lost the ability to close back.

"Hum hum hum!"

With every burst of silver light from the Primordial Crystal, the space it tore open expanded a little more, and the silver Primordial Crystal in turn shrunk a little.

Boom boom boom!

Accompanied by the sound of intense rumbling, a space of thirty mile radius centered on the Primordial Crystal had been opened up, residual gray fog shattering continually, and even thick Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy manifesting constantly in the void.

Although it was only a thirty-mile radius at the moment, there were still heavens and earth. However, the earth was desolate, and far from matching the Cave Heaven Space that had existed for a long time.

While Xiao Chen focused on the changes in the Mountain and River Seal Space, a gray-robed old man revealed his figure a hundred miles outside of Xuanling City.

The old man, with an iron sword on his back, took a look at the faintly appearing ancient city in the distance, did not hesitate, and with a single step, appeared a thousand steps away.

In a short time, the old man crossed hundreds of miles. He didn’t spare a glance at the warriors outside Xuanling City and simply stepped through the void, heading towards a grand stone fortress in Xuanling City.

"Who dares to break into Yuanling Temple!"

The old man bypassed the gate of the stone fortress and entered directly. The soldiers guarding the fortress were instantly enraged. They all gripped their weapons tightly and surrounded the old man.

"Scram!"

At that moment, a rough and angry shout sounded, and a robust man dressed in red battle armor appeared.

After the surrounding soldiers dispersed, the red-armored robust man kneeled and said in a deep tone, "Yuanxue pays respects to Elder Yuanhong!"

"Get up, it’s been decades since we last met, I did not expect you to have broken through to the Fourth Heaven Realm, well done!."

The old man with the iron sword on his back nodded slightly and then quietly spoke.

"Because of Yuanxue’s dull aptitude, it took him several decades to progress to the Third Heaven Realm, and by luck, he passed the Thunderfire Tribulation to advance to the Towering Realm Fourth Heaven. I’m honored by the elder’s praise."

"I know that over the years, the clan placing you here is indeed unfair, causing you much suffering. Before leaving, clan leader said, if you found the secret realm to be truly fruitful, they would transfer you back to the tribe with great rewards."

As he spoke about the Secret Realm, a flash of heat crossed the eyes of the sword-bearing elder. Those capable of opening a Secret Realm would have to be at least of the Towering Realm Eight Heaven’s Realm, such a powerhouse is something their Yuan Feng Marquis Division didn’t have.

What kind of opportunity would be in a Secret Realm opened by a powerhouse of at least the Towering Realm Eight Heaven Realm? He couldn’t help but get excited at that idea, wishing he could immediately open the Secret Realm to find out what was in it.

After this news was passed back to the tribe, the Clan Leader and he consulted in secret, and he immediately headed for the Xuanling Mountain Range.

Unlike the single dominant Bai Ze Marquis Division of the Border Wasteland Region, the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain had three Marquis-grade battle divisions. The Yuan Feng War Brigade was only one of them, and also the weakest. It was just him and the Yuan Feng Clan Leader who were honored powerhouses of the tribe.

After reassuring Yuanxue, they both appeared in a Stone House moments later.

Sitting at the head of the room, Elder Yuan Hong softly asked, "Where exactly is this Secret Realm, and does anyone else know about it?"

"Reporting to the Elder, the Secret Realm is in an abandoned mine shaft a thousand steps below the surface. Besides me, three other elders in the Temple also know about it," replied the burly man.

"Where are they now?"

"One is cultivating in the Stone Fortress and the other two are stationed at the mineral vein." After a pause, he got a bad feeling in his heart but still cautiously asked, "May I know why the Elder asked?"

"The Secret Realm is a matter of great importance. We must be careful of non-tribal people!" A murderous intention flits across Yuan Hong’s eyes.

"Reporting to the Elder, these three were the warriors I recruited after I was sent to Xuanling City years ago. We have shared life and death together for hundreds of years. They have agreed to join the Yuan Feng Marquis Division. Plus, I know them like the back of my hand, they will not leak a word about the Secret Realm."

"Foolish!" Yuan Hong reprimanded, "How big the temptation of an owner-less Secret Realm is, don’t you understand that if there’s any hint of information, it will attract the nearby several realms’ Marquis-grade battle divisions. How much of a chance do you think our Yuan Feng Marquis Division would have of securing this secret realm?"

"Only the dead can keep a secret!"

Feeling the strong murderous intent from Yuan Hong, Yuanxue couldn’t help feeling a chill down his spine.

"Don’t worry, you won’t have to do anything. I will personally take care of it. They won’t know what happened when they go on their way. When the Secret Realm opens up, you will follow me back to the Division."
