Chapter 771 - 791: Children’s Voices in the Secret Realm
"Specifically what it is, I’m not very sure either. In the beginning, the ancestors of the Ghost Race left a saying that there is a treasure in this Ghost Secret Realm that only someone with fate can obtain. However, after tens of thousands of years, no one still knows what exactly is inside.
I see that your strength is quite impressive, so I want you to give it a try. I’ll give you three days. If you don’t find anything within three days, then you and Yiyi should prepare for your wedding. In the meantime, I’ll also invite some prominent people to attend your ceremony!" said the Lord of Netherworld.
"So that’s how it is. Thank you for your fulfillment, Lord of Netherworld. Although I can’t guarantee that I can find the treasure, I will do my best! Being valued so highly by the Lord of Netherworld, Lin Feng feels flattered and a bit overwhelmed," Chu Linfeng said with a smile.
"Father, can I stay? I want to look for it in this Secret Realm with Lin Feng; maybe we can really find it?" said Princess Yiyi at this time.
"Yiyi, you’d better come back with me. This Secret Realm is not as simple as you think. With your strength, you simply can’t stay here. I’m only letting Lin Feng try because his strength is decent. If you don’t believe it, you can ask him when he comes back," the Lord of Netherworld directly denied Princess Yiyi’s request.
Princess Yiyi was a bit reluctant, but seeing the determined attitude of the Lord of Netherworld, she could only give up. At this time, Chu Linfeng said, "Yiyi, you should go back and dress yourself up nicely; wait for my return."
Princess Yiyi looked deeply at Chu Linfeng and said, "You must be careful, I’ll be waiting patiently for you!" The usually spoiled and capricious Princess Yiyi suddenly turned into a docile and dependent girl, which was quite unsettling for many of the Ghost Race people.
Afterward, the Lord of Netherworld and the others left, leaving Chu Linfeng alone in the entire Ghost Secret Realm. Looking at the ground that had already returned to its original state, Chu Linfeng said, "This Ghost Secret Realm is indeed strange. I wonder what kind of treasure might exist here."
"Lin Feng, if my estimation is correct, there might very likely be an Illusory Treasure here. It might not be of much use to you, but it could be useful to your Purple Demon Thunder Fox. To obtain this Illusory Treasure, you need to enter the Illusion Realm of this Ghost Secret Realm," said the Sword Spirit at this time.
"Entering this Illusion Realm doesn’t seem easy, right? This Ghost Secret Realm is so vast that searching for it is really troublesome," Chu Linfeng said.
"You might find it if you use Divine Sense to observe. Don’t you have Chu Qing? Let her help you take a look; it shouldn’t be difficult. The fact that an independent space could appear here must be related to that Illusory Treasure. If you can obtain it, this Ghost Secret Realm might reveal its original appearance," said the Sword Spirit.
Chu Linfeng felt very fortunate to have encountered the Sword Spirit and Chu Qing. Without them, perhaps he would still be a worthless second young master in Liuyun City, constantly absorbing Star Power to break into the Black Tortoise Realm.
Thinking of this, Chu Linfeng couldn’t help but think of Chu Linyue and Chu Xiaohai, and also the maid Lin Yanran who had been serving him. Memories came rushing in, and a feeling of nostalgia arose in his heart.
However, Chu Linfeng quickly withdrew his thoughts and chuckled bitterly, "What am I thinking about? Getting distracted at a time like this is really inappropriate." He then said to Chu Qing in the Storage Ring, "Qing’er, can you help me see if there’s anything special in this Ghost Secret Realm?"
"Wait for me a moment, this place is quite peculiar; I need to come out to use Divine Sense to observe," said Chu Qing at this moment.
With a thought, Chu Linfeng made the Wind Stabilizing Pearl appear in his hand. Following a flash of azure light, a little girl appeared in front of Chu Linfeng.
But this time, she wasn’t bare-bottomed; she was wearing the same azure dress. Her two small, horn-like braids were tied high on her head, making her look very clever.
"Big brother, I’ll help you look right now!" Chu Qing promptly said after coming out.
A streak of azure light flashed between her eyebrows, and she immediately closed her eyes. After a long time, she opened them again, but her face showed a very excited smile.
"Big brother, I discovered a very strange place. It seems there’s a Restriction there, and I can also feel the breath of life, like a child, just a few dozen meters ahead," said Chu Qing.
"A few dozen meters ahead? There’s nothing here, except maybe some misty things," Chu Linfeng remarked, looking at the empty space in front of him with some frustration.
"You can’t see it with your eyes, you have to use Divine Sense to perceive it. I spent quite a long time sensing it before I found it; otherwise, you’d never discover it. It’s surprising how well this little guy hid himself, almost fooling me," Chu Qing said.
Chu Linfeng gave Chu Qing a skeptical glance and immediately spread out his Divine Sense to observe. He focused for a long time on the location Chu Qing mentioned but didn’t find anything. He couldn’t help but ask, "Qing’er, are you really sure it’s a few dozen meters ahead, and not a few hundred?"
"Of course I’m sure, my Divine Sense is really powerful. You need to calm down completely and slowly perceive it, only then can you find it. That little guy is very clever; I only found him after perceiving for a long time. But this little guy set up a Restriction, and with big brother’s current Divine Sense strength, I’m afraid you can’t pass through it. Why don’t you ask the Sword Spirit sister for help?" Chu Qing said.
"Qing’er is right, there is indeed a Restriction here, which should be the entrance to the Illusion Realm. Actually, breaking this entrance is very easy for you, but it’s extremely difficult for others. This Restriction is likely formed by a trace of Power of Soul. Once you find this Restriction, you can use Soul Slash. With your current strength, you should be able to break it," said the Sword Spirit at this time.
Chu Linfeng immediately sat down, spreading out his Divine Sense again, embracing the technique of Holding the Essence and Guarding the One, just like he had before when sensing the elements on the Spiritual Pearl.
Time flew by, and it took Chu Linfeng about half a day to finally see that the so-called Restriction was actually an ethereal wall of aura, seemingly non-existent but also exactly there. Without careful examination, it was truly undetectable.
With a clear target in mind, Chu Linfeng was overjoyed. He immediately stood up and walked slowly toward the location of the Restriction that appeared in his mind. He moved slowly because the Restriction was too ethereal; if he made a wrong move, the attack would be ineffective, so Chu Linfeng was extremely cautious.
When he reached the Restriction, Chu Linfeng tried to touch it with his hand but found nothing there. He knew the Restriction was essentially an invisible presence, imperceptible to the touch.
Then, he slowly took out the Cyan Frost Sword from his Storage Ring and exerted all his strength to deliver a Soul Slash against the seemingly empty void in front of him. After a flash of azure light, Chu Linfeng felt as if his strike hit something tangible. Previously, his Soul Slash had never produced such an effect.
Just when Chu Linfeng was puzzled, a childish voice suddenly appeared in his ears...
