180: The Secret of an Ancient Underwater City Emerges (Part 3)

Chapter 174: The Ancient Underwater City Secret Realm Appears (Part 3)

All Secret Realms share a common characteristic.

That is, within the Secret Realm, its rules are supreme and paramount!

But outside the Secret Realm, it is quite fragile.

The five Secret Realms of Yingtian Academy are also like this; for example, the Crimson Tide Warm Current, with its terrifying temperature and astonishing power, even Human Grandmasters who fall into it risk death!

But if Human Grandmasters do not enter the Secret Realm, there are plenty of ways to destroy the Crimson Tide Warm Current Secret Realm from the outside.

The Sea of Spiritual Power, Thunder Roar Canyon, and the other four Secret Realms are in the same situation.

The Secret Realm that has just appeared is also the same; no matter what its operating rules are, as long as one does not enter the Secret Realm, the influence and restrictions are minimal. There is no need to abide by the rules of its internal small world, but rather to abide by the rules of the external greater world!

So, Sima Yuan's words at this time were simple: if you don't let our human race enter, then we will directly destroy this Secret Realm, and everyone will go their separate ways.

What I can't get, you shouldn't even think about getting!

This is a situation no one wants to see, as every Secret Realm is a huge fortune, as seen from the five great Secret Realms of Yingtian Academy.

Especially now, before even entering the Secret Realm and without knowing what treasures and resources are inside, to destroy it directly would be too foolish.

This is a situation where cooperation benefits both, and conflict harms all.

Therefore, for so many years, whenever a Secret Realm appeared, the unspoken old rule was: everyone relies on their own strength and takes their own gains!

The four hegemons of the southern wasteland sea and the human race each send a team into the Secret Realm; what they get and what they gain is all based on their own abilities.

Jin Lin looked up at Red Qian, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Red Qian was clearly somewhat exasperated and resentful today; otherwise, he wouldn't have provoked the human race repeatedly.

In the past, this guy was a cunning old fox who would only hide behind the scenes, rarely losing his composure like this.

It was clear that the death of Red Luo had dealt a great blow to this father.

Indeed, Red Luo was a royal member of the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Clan, and a royal member with extremely good talent!

As long as he developed normally, he could grow into a Level 6 Overlord-level expert. With Red Qian pushing him further and mobilizing the power of the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Clan, it might even be possible for Red Luo to advance to Level 7 Emperor!

Later, if he was sent to the Imperial Court, there was hope of reaching Level 8 Legend!

However, now, this sea royal member with unlimited potential had capsized in a ditch, falling into the hands of a Transcendent Level Beast Tamer of the human race!

This not only cost him his life but also the face of the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Clan.

It would be strange if Red Qian wasn't envious upon seeing the Human Grandmasters now!

Seeing that one clan present had not yet agreed, the vaguely visible figure at the forefront of the Azure Water Asura Clan coldly spoke, “Red Qian, what do you say?”

Red Qian let out a cold snort: “Agreed.”

“Alright then,” the Azure Water Asura Clan member continued, “Now, everyone dispatch one person to explore the Secret Realm entrance below.”

The five factions nodded slightly, and one person from each team stepped forward.

The one who stepped out from the human race was not Sima Yuan, the supreme commander of the Southern Border Underwater Great Wall, but Jiang Henian, with his messy hair and flip-flops.

And regarding this result, everyone was not surprised in the slightest, as if it had been discussed long ago.

The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish was Red Qian, the Vajra Fish was Jin Lin, and the Dragon Head Moray Eel Clan also sent their chief, Long Xing.

However, the Azure Water Asura Clan did not send their chief, but instead only sent a slightly weaker expert.

Red Qian gave the Azure Water Asura Clan a cold look, muttering disdainfully, “A bunch of guys who only hide in the shadows!”

Immediately, Jiang Henian flew directly towards the underwater vortex below, plunging into the very center of the vortex.

The other four beasts also swam in together. The vortex was vast and surging, with deafening sounds.

However, for the five, there was no impact whatsoever.

The five seemed to merely pass through ordinary waves, easily arriving before the underwater cave.

The entrance to the underwater cave was not small, with a diameter of nearly tens of meters.

At this moment, immense spiritual power and eerie black light were still gushing out from within, interplaying with the golden Magic Arrays carved around the cave, with a distinct contrast between gold and black.

Jiang Henian looked at the pitch-black light before him without any change in expression or surprise.

Through two months of exploration, he knew that this was an ancient and aged Secret Realm, existing for at least a thousand years!

Such an ancient Secret Realm, only revealing itself after a thousand years, was incredibly unusual.

And the older a Secret Realm, the more likely it is to give birth to Necromancy System power.

The continuously spewing black light before them was precisely the power of necromancy.

Of course, no matter what kind of power the Secret Realm was primarily based on, what concerned Jiang Henian the most was that this Secret Realm might have existed for over a thousand years!

This was something Jiang Henian, Sima Yuan, and other Human Grandmasters were very concerned about!

The appearance of Human Beast Tamers was only a thousand years ago!

This Secret Realm had already existed for over a thousand years… this was truly somewhat eerie!

Everyone was full of doubts, but couldn't figure it out.

There was no way around it; the great catastrophe a thousand years ago had too immense an impact, almost destroying all land and all living beings!

Too few things were preserved, which led to a nearly blank history from a thousand years ago!

Therefore, Jiang Henian, Sima Yuan, and others placed great importance on this Secret Realm from a thousand years ago. This might be an opportunity to unravel the mystery of the great catastrophe from a thousand years ago!

The five slowly approached the Secret Realm entrance, each carefully exploring. Some observed the Magic Array patterns around the Secret Realm, while others released avatars to enter the Secret Realm entrance.

However, it was clear that there was still a residual seal on this Secret Realm that had not been completely lifted. As soon as the avatar entered the Secret Realm entrance, it was immediately completely shattered by an overbearing force, turning into spiritual power and dissipating into the seawater!

The expressions of the five immediately changed slightly; the entire Secret Realm seemed somewhat overbearing and unfriendly!

Jiang Henian ignored the other four sea clans and carefully examined the Magic Array patterns around the Secret Realm entrance. He saw that these golden Magic Array patterns were extremely profound and obscure, with individual runes resembling the oracle bone script of ancient humans.

Jiang Henian's face was solemn. He slowly took out an ancient, mottled turtle shell from his Storage Seashell, which also recorded similar characters.

While comparing the characters on the turtle shell, Jiang Henian used his right hand to channel spiritual power with his fingers, tracing and drawing on the Magic Array runes at the Secret Realm entrance!

Miraculously, although it was extremely difficult, Jiang Henian succeeded in tracing and drawing!

As Jiang Henian successfully manipulated and directed nearly a hundred ancient runes on the golden Magic Array, the previously quiet underwater cave was like a mechanism being activated. The seabed vibrated violently, humming and buzzing!

A huge golden stone tablet slowly rose from beside the Secret Realm entrance, standing before the five!

Red Qian, Jin Lin, and other sea clan experts had long noticed Jiang Henian's strange actions. Now, seeing that Jiang Henian had actually managed to conjure something, their faces were filled with utter astonishment!

“He actually succeeded…”

This scene was unexpected even by Jiang Henian himself!

He stared blankly at the turtle shell in his hand, then blankly at the golden stone tablet before him, falling into a profound silence.

This ancient turtle shell was given to him by Jian Qingqiu.
