Inside the Land of Light and the Great Xia Empire...

A surging undercurrent is sweeping through.

In fact, except for those involved, no outsiders knew about this matter.

After all, when it happened, only Xu Lingjun and the involved parties were present... While those Creation Realm Grandmasters have been silent for decades, it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t care about their reputation.

Being beaten without a reason.

No one would publicize that aggressively.

Half a month later.

Xu Lingjun, with the help of the Great Xia Empire’s powerful information capabilities, has accomplished the magnificent feat of beating up the Creation Realm Grandmasters across the entire Blue Star!

Afterwards...

He returned to the Secret Realm.

Meeting Zhou Tong was indeed an unexpected pleasure.

Received his Cultivation Techniques...

Although at his current Realm, these techniques no longer help him as much as before.

But after simplifying them into a Cultivation Technique through his Talent Source...

By that time... He can offer his people more cultivation options!

But before simplifying, naturally, he needs to use his own vision to improve and complete it, thus maximizing the compensation for his own Source Value consumption.

A few thousand each book, eight books in total, also represent considerable consumption.

Even though with Xu Lingjun’s current strength, he could completely research the techniques himself and then create the Talent Source...

But in terms of authenticity, how could it compare to the techniques trained by Zhou Tong from his self-allowance over the years?

Several days later.

Xu Lingjun emerged from seclusion, already holding several mysterious Techniques in his hand.

Different from the Body Refining Technique like the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, these techniques each have their strengths and peaks...

With the creation of so many mysterious techniques, Xu Lingjun’s vision expanded, and his strength increased significantly again.

Switching cultivation is impossible...

These original versions of the techniques are destined to rot away because they are too difficult, except for Xu Lingjun, no one likely can meet the prerequisites of these techniques.

Time passed slowly.

Until the agreed time is about to arrive...

Baoxue Empire’s Uther You is still eagerly awaiting, daily hoping for the arrival of those Creation Realm Grandmasters.

Currently, the number of experts in the Baoxue Empire is extremely scarce, gaining techniques relies on the help from foreigners.

And it must be invitations from both Great Xia Empire and Land of Light...

In this way, he can maximize balancing the situation and avoid being left with no benefits.

But he could not possibly know.

Just days before the assembly arrives...

Many Creation Realm experts unexpectedly gathered at the entrance to the Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm is hazardous, but it is of little concern to them.

Only if some Creation Realm expert inadvertently enters through the same entrance...

For a moment, these experts who had met before and were somewhat familiar, stared at each other at the entrance to the Secret Realm.

"What are you doing here?"

"Nothing much, just felt the urge to come and browse, feeling my fortune lies here!"

"Um, yes, the Secret Realm is filled with Spiritual Qi; there must be incredibly magical opportunities inside—can’t miss them lightly!"

Both sides smiled cordially.

But inwardly, they silently mocked...

So it wasn’t just me who got beaten; this guy also got thrashed by the King of the Secret Realm.

Upon stepping into the Secret Realm.

They discovered extremely bizarre changes within.

Years ago, before entering the Creation Realm, whether for training or treasure hunting, many of them came to the Secret Realm.

But that was many years ago.

Coming again now, they noticed anomalies...

The Secret Realm has changed.

The oppressive and ferocious killing intent is gone.

Though they still saw the presence of Demon Beasts...

But those Demon Beasts merely glanced at them, then blissfully ignored them, continuing to bask in the sun.

As if they were quite comfortable with humans being there.

For a moment, it puzzled those Creation Realm Grandmasters who prepared to casually slay these Demon Beasts.

After all, they traveled far as guests; if attacked, defending themselves is fine...

Provoking them actively... may lead to another beating, which is mild.

If the King of the Secret Realm harbors malice, they will likely not fare well.

Well, well.

They refrained from violence.

Just after entering.

All the plants around these Creation Realm Grandmasters suddenly began to speak.

"Welcome to the Secret Realm. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

"Who are you?"

The Creation Realm Grandmasters’ faces became wary and guarded.

Although they knew that a monster like the King of the Secret Realm could arise... The Secret Realm was far more complex than they initially thought.

Still, they never imagined even the plants had become entities.

"Please follow me; the King awaits you inside."

Lu Ye now naturally calls Xu Lingjun the King of the Secret Realm.

This decision came after deep consideration.

She isn’t very skilled at leading, under her guidance, the Demon Beasts within the Secret Realm might survive, but it’s mere existence.

Yet, with Xu Lingjun... These Demon Beasts would undoubtedly live better.

Those warriors from the Polar Star Battlefield know well how to coexist with these Demon Beasts... Especially now as the Secret Realm is about to become the storm’s center across the entire Blue Star.
