183: Chapter 183 Token = Secret Realm Key

The center of the Secret Realm was eerie and strange.

Yet, Yin Moon felt that Xuan Ming and the others before her were even more terrifying than the Secret Realm's environment.

The probing in their eyes seemed to want to tear her apart alive!

"I'll talk, I'll say anything!" Yin Moon proactively confessed before anyone even asked.

She frantically reached her hand under her skirt.

With a "pop," her hand emerged from under her skirt.

In her palm lay a twisted, bizarre black token.

Yin Moon extended the token forward, and Xiao Tian retreated repeatedly.

All eyes, which had been focused on Yin Moon, now fell on Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian's face instantly turned bright red.

The young man's blush explained everything.

"Oh, a Virgin," Xuan Ming said with a smile.

Xiao Tian's blush now spread not just on his face, but down his neck.

He frantically avoided their gaze and said gruffly, "Why are you looking at me? Brother Xuan Ming, weren't you going to ask questions?"

Xuan Ming raised his hand, and the token in Yin Moon's hand flew into his palm.

"What else is there to ask? The answer is right here."

Xiao Tian was dumbfounded.

Just then, Xuan Ming suddenly threw the token to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian stiffened at first, then he fumbled, unsure whether to catch it or not.

Finally, the token fell to the ground, rolled once, and got covered in dirt and sand.

"Hahahaha..." Xuan Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

It wasn't just Xuan Ming laughing; the others simply weren't as obvious.

Xiao Tian's forehead was practically steaming.

Angrily, he flung his sleeve and stomped aside, distancing himself from these brothers who were making fun of him.

When Xuan Ming had had enough of laughing, he raised his hand and used spiritual energy to pick up the token, simultaneously using a Cleaning Spell to remove the dirt and sand from it.

Playing with the strange token, Xuan Ming's lips curved upward. "If I'm not mistaken, this token is the key to open the Soul Stone Secret Realm, right?"

Yin Moon's eyes widened in shock, filled with disbelief, clearly displaying the words "How did you know?"

Xuan Ming chuckled, "Is it that hard to guess?"

"You were arranged to be the first to enter the Soul Stone Secret Realm, and Ancestor Qian Hun cares so much about your life and death, so you must have something very important on you."

"And just now, you were teleported here, and shortly after, all of us who entered the Secret Realm were also teleported over. Isn't the token's purpose obvious enough?"

"Let me think again. The reason Ancestor Qian Hun arranged for other Disciples to attack everyone else as soon as they entered the Secret Realm was to make you disappear without anyone knowing, to prevent you from falling victim to others in the Secret Realm and having this Secret Realm key fall into other people's hands. Am I correct?"

All correct!

Yin Moon thought, if she didn't even need to confess, was there any chance for her to live?

"So, the Thousand Souls Sect has always insisted on entering the Secret Realm first because they needed to use the Secret Realm key to open the Soul Stone Secret Realm?" Chen Xuanfeng suddenly asked.

Isn't that pure nonsense? Xuan Ming thought amusedly, playing with the Secret Realm key.

"The first person to enter the Secret Realm takes the key?"

Chen Xuanfeng stared at Yin Moon, questioning.

Yin Moon nodded, afraid that if she didn't confess enough, she would be dealt with, and hurriedly said, "It's not just the key, there's also a matching Cultivation Technique, which is very difficult to learn."

"Therefore, Revered Master would always select a Disciple in advance to be the Opener for entering the Soul Stone Secret Realm, to learn the Spatial Teleportation Technique inscribed in the Secret Realm key."

"Because I was the Opener in the previous session, I was naturally chosen by Revered Master again this time. It was just bad luck that I encountered Fellow Daoist Su and died on the arena. It was Revered Master who took my Soul away afterward, saving me from becoming nourishment for the Soul Stone Secret Realm."

Su Xin frowned, "You are, Yin Moon?"

Yin Moon hastily nodded, thinking, 'This news is explosive enough, right? Controlling the Secret Realm key can actually control the lives of those who die in the arena. Such news should be enough to buy my life, right?'

However, Chen Xuanfeng spoke again, diverting the topic, "Can't the Secret Realm key be used to open the Secret Realm if it's placed in a space ring or Storage Pouch?"

Yin Moon nodded inexplicably, then, remembering something, she became somewhat shy, her face covered in a blush, and she glared at Chen Xuanfeng with a reproachful look, thinking he was teasing her.

"Of course, otherwise, how could I, how could I put the Secret Realm key, put it in..."

Chen Xuanfeng, however, ignored the blushing Yin Moon, his gaze meaningfully shifting to the Secret Realm key in Xuan Ming's hand.

"Every Opener is a female cultivator?"

Yin Moon shook her head blankly, "Of course not. Revered Master only looks at one's Comprehension Ability and whether they can learn the Spatial Teleportation Technique. Before me, it was a Senior Brother."

Xuan Ming's smile slowly froze, and the hand holding the Secret Realm key stiffened in mid-air.

Chen Xuanfeng tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his lips, but his voice still betrayed his mood.

"Ah, a Senior Brother, I wonder how he hid..."

"Clatter!"

The Secret Realm key fell to the ground.

Xiao Tian, not far away, stiffened and lowered his head, looking at his hand and the fabric on his chest that had touched the Secret Realm key.

Yin Moon saw Xuan Ming drop the key and only then belatedly understood what Chen Xuanfeng was trying to imply.

Her face turned pale, then green.

This was a path she hadn't considered before.

Thinking that this Secret Realm key had once... and then she...

"Ugh!" Yin Moon gagged.

Xuan Ming silently looked up at Yin Moon, who was gagging with a look of disgust.

Chen Xuanfeng led his brothers to retreat.

The next scene might be a bit bloody, so it's better to stay far away.

Su Xin shook his head, glancing at Yin Moon, who was still gagging.

She was trying so hard to live, yet she couldn't hold back at this moment.

Xuan Ming wasn't actually a fan of bloody killings.

His killing methods were usually extremely artistic, making people die in beautiful illusions, smiling even in death.

Even in death, they died gracefully and beautifully, as if they were just sleeping.

"Ah!" The hand Yin Moon used to cover her mouth, gagging, was severed at the shoulder and flew to the side.

It rolled once on the ground, its pale fingertips still twitching.

Yin Moon's delicate face, which she had obtained through Possession, was stained with her own fresh blood, revealing a hint of demonic allure.

She stubbornly looked at Xuan Ming, tears welling in her eyes.

Xuan Ming smiled, "Divine Soul attack, I am your ancestor."

"Ah!" Yin Moon's remaining hand desperately clutched her forehead, as if that was the only way to alleviate the pain of her Divine Soul's tremor.

Blood slowly flowed from her eyes, ears, and nose.

Yin Moon let out a skyward roar, and gusts of eerie wind swept through.

Countless Vengeful Souls surged from within her. These Vengeful Souls not only attacked Xuan Ming and the others but also backfired on Yin Moon herself, gnawing at her flesh and blood.

This was also the reason Yin Moon hadn't resisted from the beginning; her newly Possessed body simply couldn't control the Vengeful Souls originally refined by the body.

But now, she couldn't care less; she wanted to perish with these people!

"Explode for me, ahhhhh..."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Countless Vengeful Souls exploded amidst her roars, and terrifying self-destruction power swept in all directions.

The entire Secret Realm center shook violently due to this unprecedented explosion. The rocks on the distant Soul Mountain shattered, revealing a brand new Soul Stone Ore Vein beneath.
