Chapter 949: Chapter 932: Origin of Secret Realm - The Silver Fish!

Xue Sha was the appointed guardian of Zhen Nan City by Xiao Chen, overseeing thousands of miles of land in the Southern Region of the Border Wasteland, guardedly positioned to the south of the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, a location of great significance.

For this reason, Xiao Chen had just appointed Xue Sha to preside over the Southern Border, commanding one hundred thousand Tribal War Masters to station there.

Overall, Zhen Nan City was a city inhabited by adventurers, where the Gu Yuan Tribe would only station Strong Ones and War Masters, allowing adventurers from all over the Border Wasteland to reside within the city walls.

Even the warriors from the major tribes of the Border Wilderness Domain could also dispatch forces to station in Zhen Nan City, which was located not far from the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, facilitating hunting and gathering, and thus forming a natural trading hub. Building the city here attracted a large number of solitary adventurers.

...

Mysterious Void Secret Realm.

Within the ancient Secret Realm, a majestic vitality emanated, but more so, it was peaceful and tranquil.

Atop the central ancient mountain of the Secret Realm, Bu Canghai lay on a gentle slope, gazing up at the sky of the entire Secret Realm. His wounds had completely healed by then, but with no alternation of night and day in this Secret Realm, he could no longer clearly count how long he had been there.

He could only roughly estimate that he had been in the Secret Realm for about two to three months. Initially, while he was recovering from his injuries, he had explored every place in the entire space, searching for an exit. However, now, as he lay on the slope, he was no longer interested.

The remnants of the Xuankong had lived in this space for ten thousand years. If there had been an exit, they would have long left this Secret Realm, with no need to be trapped for countless years, greatly reducing their tribe’s population.

"Big Brother Bu," suddenly, a girl’s ethereal voice rang out, stirring Bu Canghai from his contemplative state, bringing a smile to his face.

"I just knew Big Brother Bu must be here, thinking about how to find an exit."

Seeing Bu Canghai turn his head, the worry in his brows apparent, the young girl gently came to his side, reaching out her small hand to smooth out the wrinkles on his forehead, in a somewhat affectionate gesture.

"Xin’er, has no one really walked out of this Secret Realm throughout these long years?" Bu Canghai asked almost instinctively.

Immediately, the young girl chuckled lightly, his question having become the one he had asked most frequently these past days, turning into his obsession.

Nonetheless, the young girl patiently replied, "Big Brother Bu, there is no record in our tribe of anyone ever leaving the Secret Realm. However, there have been other warriors from the outer world who have entered this space, just like Big Brother Bu. Eventually, they all remained within the Secret Realm."

"The warriors who entered this Secret Realm were all unfortunate. If there were someone endowed with a great fortune, why would they enter this space and die of old age here?"

At this, the young girl Xuan Xin seemed somewhat emotional.

At that moment, however, she noticed that Bu Canghai, upon hearing her words, fell into deep contemplation, and couldn’t help but softly call out, "Big Brother Bu, what’s wrong?"

Meanwhile, Bu Canghai, upon hearing the words spoken by the young girl, suddenly had a flash of insight, and couldn’t help but murmur softly.

"Fortune..."

Even in his previously calm eyes, a spark shone brilliantly as he abruptly sat up from his reclined position on the slope.

"Big Brother Bu, what’s wrong?" Yet, Bu Canghai did not answer her; instead, he grasped her small hand.

At Bu Canghai’s action, the young girl Xuan Xin was startled because in the next moment, Bu Canghai even held her tightly in his embrace.

After a long while, the young girl held in Bu Canghai’s arms finally let out a soft yelp, blushing at the cheeks, while by then, Bu Canghai had also regained his composure from his excitement.

Hum!

Moments later, a purple and gold colored fortune jade slip appeared in Bu Canghai’s hand, the same kind used by Huang Xiaotian in the depths of the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, which was made by Yun Wei and distributed among the disciples.

"What is this?"

Looking at the purple and gold colored, crystalline jade slip in Bu Canghai’s hand, the young girl Xuan Xin’s blush faded, and she asked softly.

Hum hum hum!

But the next moment, three more identical fortune jade slips appeared in Bu Canghai’s hand. These jade slips were made from the fortune of the Gu Yuan Tribe, and as Xiao Chen’s personal disciple, Bu Canghai had deep ties with the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Moreover, at this moment, Bu Canghai took out all the fortune jade slips he had. Today, if it were not for Xuan Xin’s startling remark, he would have forgotten about these jade slips.

The power of fortune was intangible and elusive. Perhaps by using the power of fortune, he could find the exit of this Secret Realm.

In fact, to find the exit of the Secret Realm, one must find the core of the Secret Realm to control it, but the spatial core had no constant state. If not found, one could never know what it actually looked like.

It might be a piece of space crystal hidden in the Void, a segment of Duanmu, or even the fragmented stones underfoot. The Secret Realm inhabited by the remnants of the Xuankong, although not large, had existed for a very long time, even forming a simple Heaven Circulation within.

The more perfected the Secret Realm, the deeper the Secret Realm core was hidden.

"This is a fortune jade slip made by the tribe where Big Brother Bu is from, currently the strongest tribe in the entire Border Wilderness Domain, with a thriving fortune."

Bu Canghai explained softly, his hands not pausing for even a moment. Four purple and gold-colored jade slips all shattered, releasing dense plumes of purple and gold haze that merged into his body.

In an instant, Bu Canghai’s entire body shook violently, as if a clarity had emerged before his eyes. Then he patted Xuan Xin’s little hand and his body soared into the air, rushing towards other areas.

The fortune imbued in him had a time limit; if he couldn’t find the exit of the Secret Realm within this period, he would likely be trapped and perish within this realm.

The Secret Realm was merely a hundred miles in area, with an Ancient Mountain at the center. Beyond that, up to where space annihilation occurred, there was a clear path featuring a small river. Aside from that, there was nothing else.

Bu Canghai’s figure continuously flickered within the Secret Realm. Activating his Hidden Soul Talent once more, his powerful Soul Power surged, not sparing any location—be it fragmented stones, withered wood, ancient trees, or green grass. Now with the aid of fortune, his Soul Power was even stronger than before.

However, where he passed, the withered wood and broken stones were all lifeless, while the ancient trees and green grass thrived with vitality. Apart from these, no other signs of life appeared.

Naturally, Bu Canghai’s actions made the remnants of the Xuankong in the Secret Realm look up, but after a glance, they shook their heads and bent down again to tend to the Spirit Rice in their spiritual fields, for in the Secret Realm without ferocious beasts, Spirit Rice was their staple food.

Over these past days, they had seen Bu Canghai’s actions countless times and had grown accustomed to it. They too could understand the hope of a warrior, accidentally trapped here, wishing to return to the outer world.

No! That is not it!

Bu Canghai was fast, his Soul Power naturally strong, and he had even probed three feet into the earth and checked every bit of soil.

An hour later, he had scoured most of the Secret Realm, except for the central Ancient Mountain and the river, finding nothing else.

The same amassed purple and gold-colored fortune power had also mostly depleted, now only a faint purple haze was visible on him.

Splash!

Landing before the river, Bu Canghai kicked a rock into the river. This river in the Secret Realm had no source nor end and traversed through the realm, both ends merging into the boundless chaos at the edges of the Secret Realm.

But the river water was alive, and it was by relying on this water that the remnants of the Xuankong could continue to thrive.

In the river, there were some fish-like beasts, though none of high rank. However, these represented one of the few sources of meat in the Secret Realm, fished by the people of the tribe only during sacrifices or when new members were born.

Of course, when Bu Canghai had been injured, he too had received this treatment. Although the fish soup made from the river didn’t do much beyond satisfying hunger for a warrior of his caliber.

Buzz!

Sending his will through the water’s surface into the river, Bu Canghai started to explore throughout the river.

Splash!

Fish occasionally jumped from the water, splashing droplets around, while Bu Canghai’s will reached the riverbed, the river not deep, only about thirty feet.

On the riverbed, some aquatic beasts crawled about, Red-whiskered Shrimp, Black-armored Crab, but all were common beasts too ordinary to notice his probing.

Thus, Bu Canghai began scouring the entire riverbed. These ordinary fish and crab beasts hardly sensed his scrutiny.

Buzz!

Just as Bu Canghai’s will reached the center of the riverbed, a foot-long silverfish suddenly jerked as if startled and darted downwards.

Hmm!

Bu Canghai murmured softly in surprise. The strongest beast in the water was no more than a one-star, equivalent to the Bone Tempering realm of his race. How could it sense his awareness, especially since that silverfish wasn’t even a one-star?

Something strange!

Immediately, his will swept over the area again. All the fish remained oblivious, but that silverfish, startled once more, darted out from under a chaotic pile of stones and headed towards the end of the river, where the water met the endpoint of the Secret Realm’s space.

Boom!

The next moment, Bu Canghai dove into the river without hesitation, chasing after the silverfish.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A dark shadow emerged from between his brows, moving in an instant across dozens of feet in the water and binding the silverfish.

Splash splash!

Waves surged in the water as Bu Canghai burst out from the river, tightly clutching a silverfish in his hands.

The fish shimmered with a silver glow, its tail constantly slapping against his arm, struggling to break free. The power unleashed by the silverfish, which wasn’t even a one-star beast, was surprisingly enough to make it difficult for Bu Canghai to hold onto it.

Feeling the faint spatial fluctuations emanating from the silverfish, Bu Canghai couldn’t help but want to burst into laughter. Who could have imagined that the core of the Secret Realm’s space, would actually be a small fish!
