Anomalies in the Endless Ferocious Realm
Ever since the 'chaos spirit transformation bottle' was upgraded in rank, the 'chaos spirit liquid' it produced had become even more effective.
The potency was at least ten times what it was before.
Because of this, Shen Ming, who had been wrapped around Su Ming's wrist, began to react.
"You glutton." Su Ming reached out a finger to scratch its carapace before setting aside several drops of 'chaos spirit liquid' for it.
As it turned out, Shen Ming only absorbed a single drop before its Reincarnation talent was suddenly triggered, causing it to regress directly back to the Mortal Realm.
"What's going on?" Su Ming felt extremely puzzled.
Shen Ming hadn't been with him for very long; it shouldn't have been time to activate its Reincarnation talent yet.
"Master, do not be surprised. This is because my talent has reached its limit; I must use my own Divine Ability to break through that limit once more."
Having returned to its juvenile state, Shen Ming's voice had lost much of its ferocity.
After breaking through to the Void Realm, this fellow Shen Ming had received plenty of benefits from Su Ming.
Yet, its Realm had still been unable to continue rising.
Originally, Su Ming thought it just needed more spiritual power, but it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
Despite being a top-tier Vicious Beast, Shen Ming was still subject to the talent limitations imposed by the world.
If Su Ming hadn't taken it in, and it had followed its original destiny to become Chu Fan's war pet, it would likely have been forgotten by Chu Fan by now.
"I see."
Having understood the cause and effect, Su Ming fed another drop of 'chaos spirit liquid' to Shen Ming.
"Thank you, Master!"
Shen Ming greedily absorbed the drop of 'chaos spirit liquid' completely, and its cultivation immediately surged back up to the Longevity Realm.
"By the way, Master, when I was undergoing Reincarnation just now, I seemed to feel something..."
"What was it exactly?"
"I can't say for sure. If I were to use human words to describe it, perhaps... familiarity?"
"Familiarity?"
Shen Ming had triggered its Reincarnation talent before, but it had never had this feeling, which meant it was related to the Endless Fierce Domain.
Suddenly, Su Ming thought of something and said, "From now on, stay alert. If you discover anything, record it and report it to me immediately. Understood?"
"Yes, Master."
Patting Shen Ming's head, Su Ming closed his eyes and began to Cultivate by absorbing the 'chaos spirit liquid'.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun and moon within the Secret Realm were about to complete their cycle.
At this moment, Shen Ming didn't dare to slack off at all because of what Su Ming had said hours ago.
One must know that when it was usually wrapped around Su Ming's wrist, it only did one thing most of the time—sleep.
This monitoring work was incredibly tedious to it, far less comfortable than sleeping.
Just as Shen Ming was about to doze off, the sun and moon in the Endless Fierce Domain finally completed their exchange.
The Yao Beasts that should have died all completed their resurrection at specific points and began their respective activities.
As for those Yao Beasts that hadn't been killed, they were also 'refreshed' at fixed locations.
The lurking Cultivators immediately swung into action, beginning to hunt these newly resurrected Yao Beasts.
And during this exchange, Shen Ming felt that sensation once again.
Moreover, the direction this time was quite obvious.
Shen Ming firmly memorized this feeling and the direction it came from, waiting only for Su Ming to finish his cultivation.
After another full half-day passed, Su Ming finally opened his eyes.
"Shen Ming, did you find anything?"
Facing Su Ming's inquiry, Shen Ming quickly replied, "Master, I did feel it. In that direction! The thing that gives me a sense of familiarity is in that direction!"
Shen Ming swayed its head, pointing its feelers toward a certain spot.
Su Ming looked up at the sky and asked again, "Did you feel it when the sun and moon in the sky were exchanging places?"
After a moment of recollection, Shen Ming confirmed, "That's right!"
Su Ming nodded, certain that his previous guess was correct.
This Endless Fierce Domain likely had everything to do with the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede species.
If one viewed the entire Secret Realm as a giant Reincarnation Dragon Centipede capable of undergoing Reincarnation at fixed intervals, then why the monsters within the Secret Realm could resurrect would be explained.
Su Ming immediately headed in the direction Shen Ming pointed.
Along the way, he saw many Cultivators hunting the Secret Realm's Yao Beasts.
During the process, Su Ming kept Fortune and Blessing active at all times to ensure he didn't miss any details.
But after flying for a good hour, he still hadn't discovered anything unusual.
As his war pet, Shen Ming had no reason to lie to him.
Since it was in this direction, there was absolutely something in this direction deeply connected to the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede.
It seemed that to truly find that place, he would have to wait until the sun and moon in the sky exchanged places again.
Or he could try another method: continue increasing his mastery of Fortune and Blessing.
After all, Su Ming had only cultivated Fortune and Blessing to Minor Achievement; he hadn't reached a higher level yet.
However, this Divine Ability became harder as it progressed. Although Su Ming was very confident in his talent, he couldn't guarantee he could reach Major Achievement within a few days.
A conservative estimate would be at least a month of full-time cultivation.
So currently, the most reliable method was still to wait for the exchange of the sun and moon.
In the remaining time, Su Ming found a few Secret Realm Yao Beasts of appropriate Realms in the vicinity to hunt.
Then he discovered an extremely strange thing: even though he clearly killed these Secret Realm Yao Beasts himself, the colors they displayed did not belong to him.
Looking at it this way, the dropped items that belonged to Luo Ningshuang earlier seemed to have been a misunderstanding as well.
Though that group of people certainly didn't die for nothing.
"This situation is likely caused by the unique nature of this Secret Realm combined with my own lack of mastery."
After putting away the dropped items on the ground, Su Ming shifted his consciousness into the heaven-reaching pagoda to observe Luo Ningshuang's condition.
At this moment, she was still steadily breaking through, her aura becoming increasingly stable. It looked like she would complete her Breakthrough in another day of outside time.
Completely relieved, Su Ming withdrew his consciousness and continued to observe the situation in the Secret Realm.
Meanwhile, outside the Outer Void, Qian Youcai and the other Sect Heads coveting the Candle Dragon Inheritance Secret Realm had already gathered together.
Even Fairy Yan, whom he had met once before in the Endless Fierce Domain, had arrived.
Today was the day the Dragon Court had to give an explanation.
Faced with the pressure of a group of Heavenly Dao Realm experts, the will of the Dragon Court Ancestor finally appeared.
"You fellows are truly despicable and shameless! This is my Dragon Clan's Legacy; what does it have to do with you Outsiders!"
"Cut the crap. What did your Dragon Clan say when you entered our Human Race's Secret Realms before? 'Since it's a Secret Realm in the Outer Void, it belongs to everyone in the Outer Void.'"
"What, now that the blade is at your own neck, you finally know how to change your tune?"
At this moment, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
