My Salvation Game Became true?!-Chapter 179 - 175 Level Seven Map Unclaimed Secret
Chapter 179 -175: Level Seven Map, Unclaimed Secret Territory (Requesting Monthly Pass) Chapter 179 -175: Level Seven Map, Unclaimed Secret Territory (Requesting Monthly Pass) Wow!
Fang You had only left the Secret Realm of Cultivation a few days ago, and now he had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Heretical Cult?
This Heretical Cult was no easy pushover like the Wavemist Nation’s officials had believed; they had been lying in wait for a long time, all to carry out a massive ritual.
Had he not received intelligence from Fang You, he might have actually underestimated this Heretical Cult.
Superhuman Rank Bloodbeard People, at least two of them!
And there were even stronger Bloodbeard sacrificers!
As for the black-robed cultists comparable to a third Awakening, there were quite a few of them as well! There were definitely more than the third Awakened experts in his own faction, although they couldn’t compare in combat power.
His faction took the route of elite warriors.
But the cult was undeniably strong and well-provisioned, and Fang You had already worked his way up to a high position within it.
“In just a few days, no matter how strong the abilities you’ve shown, it would be difficult to earn the trust of the Scarlet Sacrificer, right?”
“Yes, but I didn’t join as a new cult member. I targeted a few black-robed cultists and eventually chose one to track and observe for two days. Once I had enough information on him and understood his Awakened Ability, I took his place. I began at a higher level within the cult.”
Just thinking about a black-robed cultist being followed for two days without noticing made Fang You shiver.
But Fang You was on their side, so there was no problem.
“Be careful within the cult. Put your safety above all else.”
There was little else he could do, except to support Fang You with more Ability Cultivation Cards to use as needed, hoping that he/she would soon max out the skills of disguise and concealment.
Fang You asked, “Teacher, what should we do now? Should we take down those four ritual sites? One of them is the Heretical Cult’s main lair, where that sacrifice is.”
Fang You rested his hand on his chin, pondering.
“For now, don’t stir up the snake by hitting the grass. First, find the rest of the ritual sites.”
“The ritual requires seven subsidiary rituals to be carried out simultaneously, but there’s no guarantee that it can’t proceed with a few missing.”
It was also uncertain whether the Bloodbeard sacrificer had any tricks up his sleeve.
What’s more, the Bloodbeard sacrificial powers probably resembled those of the Maggot Man sacrificer—the one who had fled for a thousand miles and had to be killed three times before it was truly eradicated.
That involved some luck.
Had it not been for the enemy’s reckless behavior, coincidentally running into the Angel Envoys like Silver Bell, Pei Hongjing, and others, it would have been quite hard for him to pursue… even harder to discover.
Similarly, if he managed to kill the Bloodbeard sacrificial once but let him escape, it would be extremely difficult to find him a second time.
“And killing a Bloodbeard sacrificial once wouldn’t be easy.”
“He’s not a newly-arrived Maggot Man sacrificial. As Superhuman Rank… especially with a king-throne rank as his true form, the Bloodbeard sacrificial’s combat power is bound to be formidable, plus, he can command the Mysterious Evil.”
He wasn’t certain he could handle it.
If he let the enemy get away and completely hide… or abandon the ritual to create chaos in Blue Star, that would trouble him more.
If he could take advantage of the ritual opportunity to wipe out the entire cult in one fell swoop, that would be ideal.
“Keep investigating.”
“I need more detailed intelligence, the start time of the ritual, or how long the whole ritual will last and how dangerous it is.”
“Understood.”
Fang You said, performed a Cultivation Realm etiquette, then with a sweep of his cloak, his grey mantle billowed and obscured his figure, and the next moment, he was gone.
Fang You stayed on the rooftop, holding two scrolls in his hands.
One was a duplicate of the ritual blueprint; the other was a map drawn by Fang You.
There were seven ritual sites, one of which was well understood, and three others were roughly located.
“The one led by Fang You is located within Wavemist Nation’s territory.”
“As for the other three…”
One was in Southeast Asia, one in Peacock Country, and one within the territory of White Bear Country.
None were within Huang Country.
So, this Heretical Cult avoided Huang Country?
“It’s not yet time to act, but preparations must be made in advance.”
“An Jianyou and Black Blade have the power to deal with four-star Mysterious Evils, but the others…”
Xing Jinglei and Yiluo Xi were still a bit lacking.
Unless they could achieve their fourth Awakening.
But the fourth Awakening required a massive accumulation of mystery points, a total of 8000!
If the timeframe were extended to a few years, accumulating that amount of mystery points wouldn’t be much, but in just half a month or so, it would be nearly impossible.
The one with the highest accumulation of mystery points was An Jianyou, with over four thousand points. This girl was currently the top explorer in Fang You’s Ghastly Realm in terms of accumulated steps.
“Accumulating mystery points quickly isn’t impossible.”
“Simply don’t light the bright torches and walk directly in the Ghastly Realm. Then, you’d be constantly exposed to the grey fog, continuously gaining mystery points and also attracting a large number of Mysterious Evils. If you can kill them fast enough, maybe in one or two hours you could accumulate up to eight thousand mystery points.”
But!
It was too dangerous. He had tried it before, but quickly drew the attention of four-star Mysterious Evils, and even more terrifying five-star Hell-grade Aberrations and six-star Calamity Level Aberrations.
They had bodies too massive to describe and appearances too terrifying to depict.
Despite such enormous Aberrations being visible from a distance even with the fog as a cover, they had appeared very suddenly from within the grey fog.
They came so suddenly, he couldn’t fend them off.
If it hadn’t been for him being in a pseudo-illusion state at the time and alone, he might not have been able to escape.
This method was temporarily unusable.
When An Jianyou and the others explored the Ghastly Realm, he also advised them to avoid battles as much as possible.
“Better to adopt a large-scale cleansing of the Mysterious Evils in the forests.”
“There are many areas in Dong Huang where Mysterious Evils cluster; one person can be responsible for each.”
“Once the domestic ones are cleared, they could go clear out foreign countries.”
“Additionally, improving skills has an impact on combat effectiveness second only to Awakening. Like Xing Jinglei, who now has Cannon Punch, Copper Skin, Iron Bone, with Cannon Punch and Basic Fist Skills at master level, and the other two skills at expert level, if he were to fight… he could possibly take on a four-star Mysterious Evil, just with somewhat less output.”
“What he really lacks is a higher-grade Strange Implement.”
Thinking it over, Fang You opened the game panel.
With a few days of accumulation and some leftovers from before, his fate points had risen to over 2000 again.
They increased quickly.
After all, he now had over a hundred Angel Envoys, and even if only a third of them were doing daily tasks, the income was several hundred points per day. This was without any large-scale actions.
The more he earned, the less painful it was to spend.
He did ten mid-level consecutive summons on the spot, followed by one high-level ten-pull.
“Notice: Acquired Skill Cultivation Card (White)”
“Notice: Acquired a small bag of Ghastly Crystals (Green)”
…
“Notice: Acquired a bag of Ghastly Crystals (Blue)”
…
“Notice: Acquired Skill Cultivation Card (Blue)”
…
“Notice: Acquired Ability Cultivation Card (Blue)”
“Notice: Acquired the Soul of Wang Chui (Purple)”
“Notice: Acquired Frost-cold Flame (Purple)”
…
His eyes lit up.
Although he hadn’t drawn a weapon suitable for Fang You, it seemed that… he got lucky this time.
Two purples, not many in number, but both quite valuable.
Master Wang Chui could finally improve his potential and gain a talent.
And this flame…
“Frost-cold Flame (Purple): A special kind of flame that slightly improves the quality of equipment during forging.”
What great stuff!
He immediately handed it over to Master Wang Chui and also infused Lao Wang’s bald head with the life soul.
Master Lao Wang gained the talent ‘Skilled Craftsman’, his forging skills greatly improved, and it seemed that the green-grade standard combat suits could now be crafted as well.
“Aside from the life soul and flame, I’ve also drawn three skill books this time, but pity, they were all ones I already had… The probability of drawing something new from this card pool is far less than drawing duplicates!”
“But this time, I’ve actually drawn a cultivation card that I’ve never seen before.”
“Ability Cultivation Card (Blue)”
“Description: Using this can quickly enhance the development, application, and upper limit strength of one’s Awakened Ability, with effects similar to a Skill Cultivation Card.”
This is great as well!
Advancing an Awakened Ability relies on level and continuous usage, similar to practicing skills. But while high skill proficiency can lead to experience that aids in quickly harnessing an Awakened Ability, what can compare to a cheat-like boost?
Though this “cheat” also requires personal cultivation.
A total of six Ability Cultivation Cards were drawn.
After considering, Fang You didn’t use them himself, but instead listed them on the exchange for Fang You, Black Blade, Thousand Faces, and Liu Chang.

Marked as recommended, he let them exchange for the cards themselves.
He also prepared to go out and clean up Mysterious Evils, accumulating mysteries, when Xiao Huan appeared and said,
“Master, just hold on a moment, Pei Hongjing has already brought back the Ghastly Crystals traded with the Bureau, and he’ll soon be at the warehouse.”
Once they were put into the warehouse, they would appear on the gaming interface.
And Xiao Huan was well aware that her master was eagerly waiting for this batch of Ghastly Crystals.
“How many?”
“Why not guess, Master?”
Seeing Xiao Huan acting so playfully, he could roughly guess that the Ghastly Crystals were enough.
Enough to upgrade to Level 7 of the map.
Upgrading to Level 6 required 5000 Ghastly Crystals. He had been at that level for quite some time now, and he was earning Ghastly Crystals quickly—hundreds a day. Yet, there were many uses for Ghastly Crystals, so the accumulation had been slow.
He was just waiting for this big contribution from the Bureau.
This time, the Bureau, in exchange for a large number of Awakening slots and trainee slots, paid a substantial amount of Ghastly Crystals at once.
The moment the Ghastly Crystals were stored, a pleasant notification sound rang in his ear.
“Notice: Acquired 22,300 Ghastly Crystals.”
When added to what was previously accumulated, the Ghastly Crystals necessary for upgrading to Level 7, were enough!
Even if it probably emptied the Bureau as well.
“Upgrade map range.”
“As you command~!”
Xiao Huan said.
“Notice: 25,000 Ghastly Crystals deducted, map range Level 6→Level 7, updating map.”
The upgrade took some time, so Fang You didn’t just wait around.
He went out to clear away Mysterious Evils continually, and when he returned to the Hearthfire Secret Realm the next day, he was greeted by the announcement “Map upgrade complete”.
On opening it up, just as he expected, the map now encompassed the entire Blue Star.
All of Blue Star was within his radar range!
High-energy, high-star Mysterious Evils were marked out, along with doors to the Ghastly Realm, all representing wealth and new member slots.
But beyond that were…
“Secret Realms”!
He knew that the map could detect Secret Realms; the Level 6 map had already pinpointed one in Dong Huang.
And now, the map showed a total of five Secret Realms.
One in Huang Country.
One in the White-headed Eagle Federation.
One within the borders of White Bear Country.
Even within the smallish expanse of Sunset Country, there was one.
The last one was located within the Kangaroo Kingdom, but unlike the others, this Secret Realm was marked with several red mission symbols.
“This seems to be an… unclaimed Secret Realm.”
