414: Chapter 414 The Immortals' Search for the White Immortal Pearl, the Conditions for Opening the Secret Realm!

"Ahem! This treasure sent by Her Majesty the Empress is truly... truly remarkable."

General Li Bufan coughed dryly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

How is this just observing every move of Leader Mo Yuan?

This is clearly blatant voyeurism, and Leader Mo Yuan himself doesn't even know it!

With this supreme treasure, we can truly know ourselves and our enemy!

"That wretch of a Her Majesty the Empress, she's actually quite good at this kind of thing."

Lin Ran shook his head, thinking to himself.

However, just as General Li Bufan said, with this jade talisman, we can indeed know ourselves and our enemy.

And soon, this jade talisman demonstrated its function.

Several days later.

Lin Ran injected his Qi into the jade talisman, and it instantly turned into a mirror, reflecting Leader Mo Yuan at that moment.

And with Leader Mo Yuan was Di Tian!

The two of them sat in a pavilion, seemingly plotting something.

Di Tian spoke up:

"Leader, if we want to enter that Secret Realm, we still need to capture some young Prodigies."

"Otherwise, I fear that old turtle won't open the Secret Realm."

Leader Mo Yuan nodded slightly, "Rest assured, I am already making preparations for this. The life-tracing white immortal bead is inside the Secret Realm, and we must obtain it."

"I have heard that in this world, the first person to obtain the life-tracing white immortal bead can receive the greatest extent of the Immortal's blessings, and their future path will be smooth."

"We now know that the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear is in this Secret Realm, so the advantage is ours."

Di Tian nodded, "We should continue to capture some young Prodigies as soon as possible; otherwise, I fear that long delays will lead to complications."

After saying this, Di Tian inexplicably glanced towards the Void Realm, a meaningful smile curling the corners of his lips.

Lin Ran's gaze was deep, indifferent to this, with not a ripple of emotion on his face.

The others had solemn expressions.

"It seems they have long known the trail of the life-tracing white immortal bead, but because of the restrictions of the Secret Realm, they have been slow to obtain it!"

"Lin Ran, what should we do next?"

General Li Bufan said in a deep voice.

The others also focused their gazes on Lin Ran.

Lin Ran was silent for a moment, then said calmly:

"Didn't Di Tian say that for the Secret Realm to open, a sufficient number of young Prodigies is required?"

"It's just unclear whether these young Prodigies are for sacrifice, or if they are the conditions to open the Secret Realm."

"But regardless, when Di Tian and Leader Mo Yuan head to the Secret Realm, we can just follow them."

Chen Mu nodded, "Mm, that is my thought as well."

"With this jade talisman in hand, we are in the shadows while Leader Mo Yuan and the others are in the light; the advantage is ours."

"Moreover, this is the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear in the world; it is of great significance and must be obtained!"

Saintess Yu Luo said calmly, "Then it is decided. During these days, we will observe every move of Leader Mo Yuan, and we must not let him sneak off to the Secret Realm behind our backs."

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

At this moment, Yu Xi opened her mouth, looking as if she wanted to say something but did not dare.

Lin Ran noticed Yu Xi's strangeness, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "What is it? What do you want to say?"

Yu Xi's beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked back pointedly at Lin Qingmeng, who was still kneeling and refusing to rise. The latter's remnant soul was already very dim, as if a gust of wind would make it dissipate into nothingness.

"What, do you want to kneel in her place?"

Lin Ran asked with a mocking smile.

Yu Xi was instantly speechless and shot a glare at Lin Ran.

What kind of dense, iron-willed man is this, anyway?!

He is truly hopeless!

Lin Ran only glanced at Lin Qingmeng, then immediately withdrew his gaze, not a ripple of emotion rising in his eyes.

His mind was now entirely on the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear in the world; he had no time to spare for anything else.

Whether Lin Qingmeng lived or died was, for the time being, of no concern to him.

And the turning point regarding that Secret Realm soon appeared.

That day, Lin Ran injected his Qi into the jade talisman, revealing Leader Mo Yuan's movements.

At this moment, Leader Mo Yuan had somehow captured a group of young Prodigies, imprisoning them in a net of heaven and earth covered in runes, and was taking them towards a certain location.

Lin Ran knew that the place Leader Mo Yuan was heading to right now was none other than that Secret Realm!

"Lin Ran, there is no time to lose, let's go quickly!"

General Li Bufan urged, his face full of excitement.

"Let's go!"

Lin Ran made an immediate decision, following the trail of Leader Mo Yuan, and led everyone to set off at once, quietly tailing Leader Mo Yuan towards that Secret Realm.

The life-tracing white immortal bead is said to contain the Qi, Divine Ability, and Legacy of the Immortals. In the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, I fear no one could remain calm when facing the life-tracing white immortal bead!

Immortal Ascension is almost the one great event that all living beings in the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm dream of!

And the legendary Immortals are, to the people of the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, even more illusory and ethereal; their traces are hard to find!

...

Meanwhile.

In the Koumo Desert, behind a dense forest, a vast and immense scripture stele was hidden.

And this stele was being carried by a black tortoise stone statue.

But if one looked closely, they would discover that this black tortoise stone statue was not actually a stone statue; it was a living creature, with faint, almost imperceptible breathing, and a slight, hard-to-detect heartbeat.

And in front of the black tortoise carrying the stele, Di Tian stood calmly, while beside him were young Prodigies suppressed by heaven-reaching runes, unable to move.

Their number was quite considerable, roughly estimated to be no less than a thousand.

Among these young Prodigies were both men and women; some had hideous expressions, wishing they could swallow Di Tian alive.

Others looked anxious and uneasy, not understanding why Di Tian had captured them and imprisoned them here.

Could it be...

That in order to obtain something, they were to be sacrificed?!

Once this terrible speculation formed, it would become like an inescapable nightmare, lingering in everyone's hearts at every moment.

As time quietly passed, this nightmare would grow stronger and stronger, even enough to crush a person!

"Damn it! Who exactly are you, and why are you imprisoning us here?!"

"Do you know what kind of power stands behind me? If you dare to kill me, the power behind me will definitely pursue this to the end and will never let you go!"

"Please... don't kill me..."

Facing such a noisy and clamorous scene, Di Tian's expression was clearly somewhat impatient.

"Enough! Everyone shut up! If anyone dares to say another word, I will kill him right now!"

Di Tian's Aura was very powerful; his cultivation at the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Palace Realm was enough to intimidate all the Prodigies present.

Sure enough, this did indeed intimidate quite a few young Prodigies, and the whole world instantly became quiet.

Di Tian's expression eased slightly, and he explained:

"Capturing you and suppressing you here is not to take your lives, so please bear with it for now."
