n“Did Wanshen University really follow us?”

nUpon hearing Xie Yu’s words, the others also shifted their gazes unto Ye Xuan.

n

n

nFor Ye Xuan to sense the arrival and pursuit of those from Wanshan University despite the huge distance, they could not help but feel respect and veneration in their hearts.

nThey finally understood why Lin Shiru arranged for Ye Xuan to lead them. It definitely made sense.

nNot to mention Ye Xuan’s other abilities, just his potent sensing ability was sufficient.

nIn a secret realm like this, powerful senses were stronger than anything else.

n

n

nParticularly for a team like theirs, which was clearly weaker than the other university teams.

n“Ye Xuan, where are we going next?”

nWhile thinking, Lin Zhibai turned around to ask Ye Xuan.

n“Based on the information you provided me yesterday, we should find places where the nether energy gather. Such places are usually the base of powerful nether souls.”

n

n

nYe Xuan then continued to say, “The Platinum grade Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl that the universities threw here several years ago should also be there. I need first to get my hands on that pearl.”

nNo one had any opinions or objections to Ye Xuan’s directions.

nThen, they followed him to fly out of the White Bone Plains quickly.

nYe Xuan’s main purpose for entering the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm this time was to get his hands on the Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl.

nIn front of this objective of his, everything else came second.

nAfter he finished speaking, he led the others to start searching within the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.

n

n

nBased on what Lin Zhibai said, the platinum grade Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl was intentionally thrown into the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm by the respective universities several years ago.

nThe main purpose was to attract more and even purer nether energy through the spatial cracks of the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.

nSo that the realm could produce and create more evolution materials as well as more nether-type monsters.

nHowever, the total number of platinum grade Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl that the universities threw into the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm was limited. There were only three of them. It was not a lot.

nThe White Bone Plains is the lowest level zone in the entire Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.

nIt also had places where nether energy gathered.

nHowever, the number was limited, and the scales were also small.

nOn their way, the group also managed to spot a few places like these.

n

n

nWithin the White Bone Plains, the sky above areas where the nether energy converged was shrouded by thin layers of fogs formed from nether energy.

nAnd the number of active monsters underneath the fog, including White Dried Skeletons, Dry Skeleton Soldiers, and the higher level Dried Skeleton Generals, was obviously higher than in other areas.

nThe Tidal Treasure Snail had the ability to detect treasures.

nWhile still far away, it could already detect such locations and knew that all kinds of wonderful treasures were hidden within these places.

nHowever, Ye Xuan completely ignored them.

nHe directly led the group to leave the plans.

nAt the same time, while on their journey, Ye Xuan also found out something else.

nWhile he did not know if the Tidal Treasure Snail gained experience after devouring the first White Flame Orb, Ye Xuan noticed that when devouring the second White Flame Orb, the Tidal Treasure Snail’s devouring rate was a lot higher than the first.

nAt this rate, the Tidal Treasure Snail was likely to reach the Bronze level within three days.

nBy then, they could advance to the Bronze level together while still in this secret realm.

n“Isn’t this too easy?”

nWhile flying together with Ye Xuan high in the sky, Lin Zhibai and the others had gone from the initial nervous state to a state where they just looked at each other.

nBefore entering the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, their teachers repeatedly warned them of the dangers they may encounter while inside the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.

n

n

nHowever, now that they were there, and as they traveled together with Ye Xuan, going east for a bit before going south, all the way until they’d left the White Bone Plains, they had not encountered any dangers at all.

nHowever, was the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, or perhaps more accurately, the White Bone Plains, was it really not dangerous at all?

nIt was clearly not possible.

nThroughout their journey flying across the land, they had seen, albeit from far away, two hordes of Dried Skeleton Soldiers wandering around the area.

nMoreover, each horde of Dried Skeleton Soldiers was led by a Dried Skeleton General.

n“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”

nYe Xuan led the group flying for around 20 minutes before finally exiting the White Bone Plains and arriving in a stretch of mountains.

nA small muddled yellow river stretching from afar reached the White Bone Plains from an unknown area over the stretch of mountains.

nThen, the river was completely devoured by the vast White Bone Plains.

nIt was as if underneath the White Bone Plains, there was a hidden river.

nOr perhaps underneath the White Bone Plains, there was a peculiar and hidden lake.

n“Bang!”

nThe moment Ye Xuan’s group flew out of White Bone Plains, a White Dried Skeleton crawled out from the plain of countless bones behind them and shook its body, shaking off pieces of white bones off its body.

nAfter it stood up, it immediately directed the two burning white flames within its empty eye sockets towards Ye Xuan’s departing group.

nHowever, it did not step out of the White Bone Plains.

nIt only stood there staring at them.

n“Do these White Dried Skeletons spawn so fast?”

nThe blondie – Zhu Wen – beside Ye Xuan glanced at the White Dried Skeleton that had just crawled out from the ground. Then, the Frost Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede turned around and shot out a breath of cold during air towards it.

nIn an instant, the White Dried Skeleton was frozen.

nIn the blink of an eye, countless cracks appeared on the white bones of its body.

nThen, it shattered into specks of dust that were blown away by the nether winds of the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.

nThroughout their journey, they had encountered multiple White Dried Skeletons like this.

n“That’s enough, don’t waste your strength.”

nUpon seeing his actions, Lin Zhibai lightly reprimanded Zhu Wen.

nZhu Wen spread his hands and laughed before quickly catching up to Ye Xuan and the rest of the group.

nKa! Ka! Ka!

nAfter Ye Xuan and the others disappeared, the ground of the White Bone Plains began to shift. More White Dried Skeletons rose from areas not far from where the initial White Dried Skeleton died.

nMoreover, as far as the eye could see, more brand new White Dried Skeletons would rise from the ground after a certain period of time.

n“This should be Wanfen Mountain of the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, right?”

nWhile leading the group hurrying towards their destination, Ye Xuan scanned his surroundings.

nHe noticed that after they left the White Bone Plains, they had suddenly arrived in an area filled with multiple stretches of mountain peaks.

nThese mountain peaks, while called peaks, they were not really that high.

nIt was more similar to multiple hills, or perhaps mounds.

nThe highest was only 20 to 30 meters high.

n“That’s right; this is Wanfen Mountain.”

nLin Zhibai said, “Based on the information, within the Wanfen Mountain area, there are two large-scale nether energy convergence points!”

n“Of course, compared to the White Bone Plains, this place is a lot more dangerous.”

n“Then, we’re in the right place.”

nA smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face. “Come, let’s increase our pace.”

nJust as he finished speaking, he had Lil Wan fly him further forward.

nLil Wan stood on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, blinking while looking around.

nNo matter what, it felt the surrounding environment was a little scary.

nIts heart was constantly in a state of heightened tension.

nSimultaneously, since entering the Wanfen Mountain zone, the others within the group also heightened their vigilance.

nThey were no longer as relaxed as they were in the White Bone Plains.

n“Wu, wu…”

nFrom the peak of a mountain far away came the faint sounds of someone crying.

nEveryone turned around to look and instantly saw over a dozen cinerary urns floating up and down on top of the mountain peak.

nA vague human face formed by these cinerary urns was looking at them from afar.

nMoreover, on top of the mountain peak, a woman wearing a white outfit with her back facing them turned her head around.

n“This rubbish place.”

nA female student who watched this scene mumbled quietly.

nWhile they were not normal people, and she was most definitely not a maiden who would at the sight of bugs, in an environment like this, even she felt goosebumps.

nUrn Demon: One star

nLevel: Apprentice Peak

nAbilities: Float, Single Spirit Summon, Group Spirit Summon, Group Resistance

nFrom within his team, Ye Xuan glanced at the cinerary urn from afar and determined its attributes.

nHowever, the result that he obtained surprised him a little.

nUnexpectedly, these Urn Demons were also a gregarious species, just like the Loch Dragon Carps that he encountered back when he was on the Ancient God Planet.

nHowever, in comparison, these Urn Demons’ individual strength was a lot stronger than the Loch Dragon Carps.

nHowever, it seemed like it was not easy for them to form a sizable group.

nNormally, a dozen or so Urn Demons would go for a team.

n“Let’s go deeper. We can ignore these creatures.”

nAfter sizing them up out of curiosity, Ye Xuan did not linger on them and directly led Lin Zhibai and the rest of the group to venture deeper into the Wanfen Mountain zone.

nThrough the Tidal Treasure Snail’s sensing ability, Ye Xuan could feel two decent evolution materials on top of the mountain peak.

nHowever, his objective was obvious.

nAnd it was to get his hands on the platinum level Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl.

nHe would advance Thundercloud Lightning Wings’ level before doing anything else.

nOnly by becoming stronger would he get more out of the secret realm they were in.

n“Whoosh!”

nSuddenly, a dozen or so minutes after, the group began venturing deeper into the Wanfen Mountain…

nEveryone’s pupils shrank.

nThey could see a deluge of nether energy between two 20 to 30 meters hills ahead of them.

nThe deluge had actually created a grotesque black fog that constantly shifted and spanned and covered an area of several hundred meters.

nThrough the black fog, they could see the situation on both the mountain peaks.

nHowever, the black fog became thicker the closer it was to the tiny valley between the two mountain peaks. No one could see within the valley.

nThe only things visible were a few Urn Demons and Dried Skeleton Soldiers, as well as Dried Skeleton Generals that rode on Three-headed Horses of Purgatory, occasionally appearing while entering or exiting the area.

nIt looked as if these strange and eerie creatures had formed some civilization in the area and were busy working on something.

n“Found it!”

nHowever, after getting there and using the Tidal Treasure Snail’s sensing ability, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.

nNo one else could see what was happening inside the thick fog far away.

nHowever, for Ye Xuan, who had the Tidal Treasure Snail, simple sensing made the situation inside crystal clear.

nAnd the thing that surprised and delighted Ye Xuan was that this place was one of the convergence points of nether energy he had been searching for.

nUsing Ye Xuan’s sensing ability… At the end of the valley between the two tiny mountain peaks, under a pitch-black giant eerie-looking tree which was over ten meters in height…

nMultiple Urn Demons, White Dried Skeletons, Dried Skeleton Soldiers, and even Dried Skeleton Generals were gathering under the giant tree.

nThey were doing all sorts of weird things. It looked as if they were worshipping the giant tree.

nAmid some distortion, the face of an older man could vaguely be seen on the tree trunk.

nUsing the real-time mini-map to observe the tree, Ye Xuan quickly shifted his focus on a black pearl kept inside the face’s mouth in the tree.

n
