Chapter 83: Crescent Moon Secret Realm

Four years later.

At noon, the sun shone brightly.

The Moon Reflection Water Pool had already attracted numerous important figures.

The Deputy Officer of Spiritual Techniques, Deputy Officer of Physical Law, Spirit Law Official, and Physical Law Official—four high-ranking members from Baishi Town were present.

The other members of the Black Armored Army were also in attendance, with all five Captains present.

Team One: Tong Yuan.

Team Two: Yun Wen.

Team Three: Liu Yuxian.

Team Four: Ji Ming’e.

Team Five: Chao Zichong.

In addition to this, the Spiritual Law team had eight teams present.

Each team consisted of more than seven members, mobilizing a significant portion of Baishi Town’s strength.

Their purpose was clear: to enter the Crescent Moon Secret Realm and collect various rare Spiritual Herbs!

“Phew…”

In Team Two, Yun Ye stretched on the open ground, feeling the pressure reach its peak at that moment.

This exploration of the Secret Realm would be his moment of revenge!

To be honest, Yun Ye did not have complete confidence; after all, he could not predict the future or directly know the outcome.

However, his current state was at its peak, and he had essentially exhausted all his life potential. Continuing to practice would not yield significant increases in power.

Thus, he decided not to wait any longer.

Rather than making excuses for himself like he did in modern times, he chose to embrace the challenge directly. This was the courage a reincarnator like him should possess!

The opening of the Crescent Moon Secret Realm today was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!

At the front,

Qi Lian stood before the three high-ranking officials, her hazy figure still as impenetrable as ever.

She said softly, “Everyone, the Crescent Moon Secret Realm is a treasure of Baishi Town, rich in various precious Spiritual Herbs. This is a huge opportunity for Baishi Town, and it cannot be missed.”

“Your task this time is to find them and bring them back. Therefore, Baishi Town allows each of you to collect six Spiritual Herbs and you may keep one as a reward.”

“However, please take note: consuming Spiritual Herbs within the Secret Realm is prohibited. Baishi Town has its ways of detecting… If discovered, I can only express my regrets.”

“Of course, we will not rely solely on words to bind you. This opportunity is crucial for Baishi Town, so before entering, all of you must complete a sealing contract.”

Unlike past oaths of restraint,

This time, everyone received a piece of paper filled with intricate patterns and writings, imbued with powerful spirituality. According to Qi Lian, this was a tool used to enhance Spirit Law restraints, far stronger than an ordinary oath by a hundred times.

If a typical Spirit Law oath punishes the oathbreaker after the fact, the sealing contract directly counters your actions before you even proceed, rendering you unable to move or even causing your death.

This was undoubtedly a more terrifying and safer measure.

If someone wants to enslave another, wouldn’t it be enough to simply have them sign this contract?

"Don’t worry, the sealing contract lasts only seven days. Once the time is up, its power will fade."

"This also matches the duration of the Secret Realm. You have only seven days to gather as many Spiritual Herbs as possible, which will be of great benefit to you."

Qi Lian noticed the concerns among the crowd and explained.

Then everyone suddenly understood.

Indeed, no power can last forever.

If the binding force is stronger, it should logically be more challenging to use.

Even ordinary Spirit Law oaths need to be reinforced from time to time; how much more so for a high-level sealing contract?

However, the Spiritual Law masters present had no choice. Even the five Captains could not match the Spirit Officials, Spiritual Officials, or Physical Officials.

For example, Yun Wen had faced the Deputy Officer of Physical Law and lost.

Though he later grasped the Essence of Spiritual Law, he did not challenge him a second time, clearly not a match even with the Essence.

Everyone signed.

The contract burned, merging into their bodies, forming powerful restrictions that would forcibly take over their bodies if triggered.

"Restriction One: Do not consume or damage Spiritual Herbs."

"Restriction Two: Do not attack or interfere with others."

"…What?"

Yun Ye’s pupils shrank. If he couldn’t attack, wouldn’t his plan fall completely apart?

But the thought flashed by, and Yun Ye quickly caught the issue.

He had just thought of how to eliminate Shi Baiyan and Tong Yuan, but the oath had not triggered.

Just thinking about it did not activate the restrictions?

"That’s right, the Spirit Official himself cannot read minds; how could a contract?" Yun Ye sighed in relief.

Perhaps he still had a chance!

After completing the restrictions, Liu Quan stepped forward and said,

"The Crescent Moon Secret Realm has chaotic space. After everyone enters, you will be randomly teleported to different areas. There’s no need to find other people; collecting Spiritual Herbs separately will be more efficient."

"After the seven days, you will be automatically transported out, and any objects you have touched within a certain size will come out with you. If you cannot keep track of time and are afraid of missing out, do not let the Spiritual Herbs out of your sight!"

"Otherwise, a Spiritual Law practitioner without any gains has no value; you should all understand this!"

…

The following time was spent in tense anticipation.

Yun Ye silently moved his body, adjusting his state.

Over the four years, Yun Ye had grown from fourteen to eighteen, reaching his peak state.

Now an adult in height and physique, his appearance had slightly improved due to his enhanced condition.

He now looked like a reasonably handsome young hero, feeling better than ever before.

Four years is actually a brief time for a cultivator.

If one is at a bottleneck, no matter how hard they try to cultivate, it is difficult to advance.

However, a growing Spiritual Law practitioner can indeed lead to tremendous changes.

During these four years, Yun Ye practiced diligently day and night.

He finally perfected the foundational boxing technique, Tiger Fist, reaching a level where his punches roared like a tiger.

Though Yun Ye rarely needed close-combat boxing skills, mastering Tiger Fist significantly increased his power.

Now Yun Ye could flawlessly execute the combat techniques of Tiger Fist, each move much smoother than before.

In fast-paced battles, being slightly quicker can mean victory; being significantly faster makes it nearly impossible to lose!

With the mastery of Tiger Fist, he turned to the Bathing Fire Feather Coat.

Four years was still not quite enough to fully cultivate his Spiritual Law, and Yun Ye barely achieved a Major Achievement in the Bathing Fire Feather Coat, still lacking in the Song of the Flame Sword Dance.

The completed Bathing Fire Feather Coat was more than five times stronger than its Minor Achievement form, making it sufficient to handle most tasks without needing to revive his Spiritual Roots.

Even so, Yun Ye’s spiritual prowess was only at late-stage second rank, close to completion, around 850, still far from the third rank.

At his current pace, it would take at least third rank to achieve perfection in technique-level Spiritual Law.

Moreover, this was only a fundamental requirement.

From what Yun Ye understood, very few in Baishi Town had cultivated their Spiritual Law to perfection; even among the Captains, hardly any demonstrated perfected Spiritual Laws.

However, since his opponent was Tong Yuan, Yun Ye had to consider every possibility and assumed he possessed the Essence.

For this reason, Yun Ye specifically researched the Essence of Spiritual Law and achieved considerable results.
