Chapter 52: With this trick, Chen Daoxuan was forced back three steps
As Chen Daoxuan continuously infused spiritual energy into the entrance of the Secret Realm, the inscriptions on the stone pillar began to flicker faster and faster! Nobody had expected that his so-called method of opening the Secret Realm in advance wasn't some elaborate secret technique, but rather the simplest and most direct approach!The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Was he planning to fill the Secret Realm with spiritual energy directly!?
The so-called Secret Realm was a separate space created by powerful experts. The conditions for opening it were relatively straightforward. Without any special requirements set by the realm's master, the Secret Realm would open once the spiritual energy within reached its limit.
Hence, the frequency of Secret Realm openings varied based on the size and scale of the realm, with some opening every few years, while others might take several hundred or even a thousand years.
This method of directly filling the Secret Realm with spiritual energy to assist in its opening was known to nearly everyone, but no one had ever attempted it. The reason being, it was virtually impossible! Or rather, impossible for them.
If a Boundless Realm Ninth Layer expert arrived, they might be able to advance the realm's opening by a few days, but it would likely consume eighty percent of their spiritual energy!
It was important to note that for a Boundless Realm expert to fully recover eighty percent of their spiritual energy required quite a substantial amount of time.
Who would pour in spiritual energy as if it were water just to advance the Secret Realm's opening by a few days? After all, they weren't merely channeling spiritual energy into a person's body; they were filling an entire separate space, possibly even a small world!
But for Chen Daoxuan, none of these concerns were relevant. Not to mention that the entity that had manifested was a mere projection with the same strength as his true self and would only last for ten minutes before dispersing. He also had no need to save spiritual energy.
Ever since his breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm, he had felt as if his spiritual energy was endless. His Qi Sea was incredibly unique, not just an ordinary Qi Sea, but an entire universe!
He even suspected that if he were outside the realm of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, he could instantly fill his body with spiritual energy. Once beyond the range of the pavilion, even with a hundred years, he might not be able to fill his required spiritual energy through normal absorption.
Thus, despite the vast amount of spiritual energy required to prematurely open the current Secret Realm – so much so that it could absorb the combined energy of everyone present – Chen Daoxuan's attitude was, to put it bluntly: it was a mere drop in the bucket!
Under the gazes of onlookers, who regarded him as something of a nouveau riche, the inscriptions on the entrance of the Secret Realm suddenly lit up, having been completely filled with spiritual energy. As a precaution, Chen Daoxuan even surged more energy through his palm, planning to channel it in.
A crisp "crack" sounded, and the stone pillar developed an almost invisible crack. Observing this, Chen Daoxuan silently withdrew his hand. Since no one had seen it, if anything happened later, he couldn't be held accountable...
"It's fine. Even if we're not fated to be master and disciple, it's not a big deal. Go ahead. If you encounter danger inside, you and Yanran can help each other."
Chen Daoxuan chuckled lightly, his eyes flicking to the remaining two minutes displayed on his system interface.
Hearing this, Li Shenruo respectfully bowed to Chen Daoxuan, then entered the teleportation array without looking back. The sooner they entered the Secret Realm, the greater their advantage, and maybe even the difference of a single step could determine their success in obtaining the Immortal's heritage!
Confronted with the opportunity of gaining an Immortal's inheritance, Li Shenruo wasn't one to be modest.
After Li Shenruo disappeared into the teleportation array, Chen Daoxuan shifted his gaze to Wang Yan, the Eastern Region's genius at the Ninth Layer of the Profound Sky Realm.
Under Wang Yan's anxious gaze, Chen Daoxuan approached him.
"May I ask, Senior, is there anything you wish to instruct me? Rest assured, Senior, if I see senior's disciple in danger inside the Secret Realm, I will do my utmost to assist!"
Although Chen Daoxuan wore a faint smile, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as they locked eyes. After all, the Ren Clan's heir had met a similar smile before...
"Well, you're not bad," Chen Daoxuan commented, clearly satisfied with Wang Yan.
He was about to pat the young man's shoulder as an encouraging gesture when he suddenly recalled that Wang Yan was covered in ashes. Consequently, his hand halted midway, his expression morphing into one of distaste.
This action nearly reduced Wang Yan to tears!
"Drip... Drip..."
An unidentified liquid trickled down his pant leg, quickly soaking the ground beneath him. This move forced Chen Daoxuan to retreat three steps, his face filled with astonishment as he looked at Wang Yan.
"Even someone of this age doesn't bother taking off his pants to relieve himself anywhere?"
