Chapter 110: The Secret Realm Carrier, the Crescent Moon Treasure Ring
The grand hall was indeed very dilapidated, but from the shattered remnants, one could faintly glimpse the glory that once was.
However…
A startling white pillar ran through the hall, bringing an end to this glory.
The area close to the white pillar had completely turned to sand, only the more distant parts managed to preserve some integrity.
“A sword energy that has lasted for ten thousand years, what kind of powerful realm does this represent?”
Yun Ye looked up along the pillar and discovered its true form—
This was a sword energy that penetrated the heavens!
The mark, unscattered for ten thousand years!
Even today, Yun Ye still felt a stinging sensation on his skin, a feeling of internal bleeding.
He was now a spiritual body!
“Buzz!”
The Dao sword in Yun Ye’s hand emitted a sword cry, like a gentle wave, soothing the sharp aura in the air.
The sword energy that had lasted for ten thousand years finally collapsed today, transforming into a surge of sharp energy rushing in all directions.
Protected by the Two-Part Slash Authority Dao Sword, Yun Ye was unharmed but could not help but sigh at the true strength of a great power.
He was also very satisfied with the Dao weapon in his hand.
“Tomorrow, Again Tomorrow · Two-Part Slash Authority Dao Sword, although the name is long, this Dao weapon is indeed extraordinary.”
“I failed the third trial, but I ended up in this grand hall. What does this mean?”
Yun Ye walked deeper into the hall.
Thanks to the unobstructed formations, he roamed the entire hall.
However, everywhere he went, dust and ashes filled the air, leaving nothing behind.
Even the jade slip of the Spiritual Law of the Free Heaven, sealed in the deepest part, had inexplicably shattered into eight pieces. Though the carrier was not destroyed, it had lost its transmission efficacy.
“Is this completely erased? Causality spell extinguished?”
Yun Ye gained nothing.
He watched helplessly as treasures and legacies turned to dust.
Logically speaking, high-grade spiritual treasures should not deteriorate so thoroughly after ten thousand years, but considering the situation surrounding that sword energy, Yun Ye felt this might be the method of a hostile force against the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon.
This sword energy could obliterate the spiritual essence of the entire hall; directly destroying the legacy of the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon from afar was likely within reach.
Eventually, Yun Ye stopped at a spiritual pool.
—There was no path ahead.
The spiritual pool still overflowed with liquid spirit energy after ten thousand years, the spirit energy rich to a toxic level.
Yun Ye felt scared just looking at it from a distance.
He activated the Spiritual Eye to observe from the golden and silver formations, but was met with a harsh sting from the powerful spirit energy.
But the spirit energy of the Dao weapon formations could not be compared to this place at all; not even one ten-thousandth could match.
From a great distance away, Yun Ye began to lose vitality rapidly; if he opened the Spiritual Eye here, he might be blinded instantly.
“The spirit energy has become so dense that it has turned into liquid. If even a little spills out, those who breathe it in cannot control the massive amounts of spirit energy they inhale. This is too terrifying.”
Yun Ye murmured to himself.
Under normal circumstances, this would not happen; breathing could not attract spirit energy. However, when the spirit energy has condensed to a liquid state, it spills out in the form of water beads, which can be physically absorbed into the body…
For ordinary people, this is pure poison, causing a frantic evaporation of vitality.
Anything left behind by the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon would be the treasure that Baishi Town dreams of.
This pool water is not only non-toxic for those wanting to cultivate a spiritual body but also acts as a super accelerator.
One hundred years of achievement could be forged in a year or even less.
The Spiritual Pool is likely the heart of the entire Secret Realm, gathering and circulating endless spirit energy.
With no place to go, Yun Ye observed the area for a while, and then he suddenly noticed something in the pool water…
There was something!
“A ring?”
Yun Ye confirmed that he saw a ring in the pool water.
The ring was at the center of the pool.
In that area, there was no spirit liquid, as if it had been swallowed by the ring.
This was not simple; being soaked in such spirit liquid for ten thousand years would either corrode something into dust or nourish it into a material of invincibility.
This ring was clearly the latter.
To have remained intact for ten thousand years is undoubtedly a precious treasure!
“Splash!”
Yun Ye swung his sword, as if cutting through space, causing the spirit energy to retreat and creating a path.
Maintaining his alertness, he pressed forward with the Dao sword, step by step, toward the pool water.
But until he stepped into the pool and reached the ring, nothing happened.
At close range, Yun Ye finally saw the true form shrouded in misty spirit energy, and he was astonished.
“This is… the Moon Disk!”
The ring was the "Sun" hanging in the sky of the Secret Realm.
The features were very clear; through the center of the ring, one could see the entire view of the Secret Realm.
Moreover, infinite heat radiated from this ring.
It turned out that he had come to the sky.
This ring was probably the core of the entire Secret Realm; the Spiritual Pool was merely a component providing energy!
Yun Ye was evidently very interested in this thing. If he could control the Secret Realm, wouldn’t that mean he could soar?
Thinking about this, Yun Ye took out a Spiritual Sword and touched the ring…
No reaction occurred.
Yun Ye sighed in relief and tried various things, but he found that nothing worked; the ring remained unresponsive.
Just as Yun Ye reached out to take the object directly, he suddenly paused in mid-air.
“Instead of directly touching it, why not drip some blood first? Don’t treasures usually require blood to acknowledge their master?”
Yun Ye thought this way and acted accordingly.
A drop of blood fell.
The entire Spiritual Pool turned red.
The clear scene inside the ring instantly transformed into crimson, and a whirlpool appeared— the ring rose into the air, shining brightly in the sky.
At the same time, all living beings in the Secret Realm felt the sky dim, but it quickly returned to normal, as if it were just an illusion.
…
Yun Ye looked astonished.
As the ring ascended, he clearly felt a slight connection to it, as if he could control it now.
“Dripping blood to acknowledge the master actually works?”
Yun Ye casually tried it.
By chance, in this moment when all formations and defenses had been worn away after ten thousand years, his casual attempt was indeed correct, directly allowing the ring to acknowledge him as its master!
“The inheritor of the Moon Ring shall be the current master of the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon.”
“To all those who come in the years to come, follow your own path; achieving the path means becoming an immortal.”
“Hope that in the future, the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon will have someone extraordinary, capable of overpowering the world and gaining true immortality.”
“Becoming an immortal, oh becoming an immortal, can it be achieved in ten thousand years…”
This was likely an image left by the previous master of the Gate, imprinted in his mind as the ring acknowledged its master.
He did not mention why the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon perished, but simply expressed his sighs.
“Come!”
The Moon Ring descended.
It hovered in Yun Ye’s palm.
This was a ring the size of a basin, entirely made of shimmering, flowing energy, with a mountain and water space evolving at its center, truly extraordinary.
With a thought, Yun Ye transformed the Moon Ring into a small hairband, which he clasped in his long black hair; although the flowing, shimmering, moonlit color was somewhat eye-catching, it was not unusual for a Spiritual Law master to possess a Spiritual Tool.
Later on, once he completely refined the Moon Ring, he could choose to absorb it into his body, keeping his wealth hidden.
Looking at himself in the Spiritual Pool, Yun Ye was somewhat surprised by his appearance.
After achieving the Nine Bone Spiritual Body, he was already somewhat handsome, and now with the enhancement of the Moon Ring, he exuded an air of the extraordinary.
His simple clothing could not conceal this brilliance.
This feeling was something he had not experienced for three lifetimes and was quite pleasant.
“Boom…”
After Yun Ye took the Moon Ring, the palace in the sky began to collapse, with the White Mist spreading once again.
Now that he held the Moon Ring, Yun Ye had gained partial authority over the Secret Realm and knew that the White Mist would take him back to the Stone Tablet, so he did not resist.
He glanced at the Spiritual Pool.
Yun Ye was engulfed by the White Mist.
When he took the Moon Ring, he understood many things.
The Spiritual Pool wouldn’t cease to function without the Moon Ring; it would just consume more spirit energy.
In the future, the spirit energy concentration of the Secret Realm would decrease… This probably wouldn’t attract attention, for without a master, the Secret Realm would gradually head towards destruction; a decrease in spirit energy concentration was just the first step.
