Chapter 378: Going to the Secret Realm

"Lin Chuan, I've bought the intel."

After returning from the Sixth Prince, Xiao Kun handed a piece of intel to Lin Chuan.

"Thank you."

Lin Chuan took the intel jade talisman, and his spiritual awareness scanned it.

The general information appeared in his mind.

The Spirit Clan is one of the superpowers in this era; its decline in the next era is because it later followed Ye Xue to battle the Black Mist, exhausting its foundation.

Its high-end combat power is almost broken.

Before the Ancient Final Battle began, the Spirit Clan had always been a powerful race.

Thus it could contend with the Cloud Kingdom.

As for the treasured land both nations vie for, there is no memory of it; with Lin Chuan's rebirth, many things have changed.

However, the intel confirms that the Spirit Clan's super‑genius T‑Rex girl spoken of by many is Ye Xue.

"Xue'er, this is a bit troublesome."

When it comes to irritability, aside from the demonic‑state Sangyu, Ye Xue is definitely the top.

Unlike Xiao Qingmei, who clings to you herself.

If you meet Ye Xue on the battlefield, you probably have to fight; to win Ye Xue's respect and spark feelings, you must first defeat her.

Lin Chuan formed a strategy in his mind.

He's still young, so he can't contemplate big cohabitation matters, but planting a seed in Xue'er's heart is still possible.

Ye Xue's current age is about the same as the Sixth Prince Yun Xing's, both twelve.

But the Spirit Clan's power‑activation period hasn't arrived yet.

The Spirit Clan is truly powerful when it masters its two bloodlines; a Ye Xue of this age cannot, so she hasn't entered the Legend Realm.

Nevertheless, within the Mortal Dust Eight Realms, she's likely an invincible being.

Beating the so‑called Heavenly Pride Yun Xing would be a piece of cake.

…

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, it's time to execute the mission.

Lin Chuan follows the squad, ready to set out toward the treasured land on the Cloud Kingdom's border to join the Secret Realm contest.

Before departure, Xiao Qingmei ran out with reddened eyes.

"A Chuan, you're going on a mission; why didn't you tell me and sister?"

The girl wore a hurt expression, "We can go with you."

Lin Chuan laughed, "The Secret Realm is special; only cultivators of the Mortal Dust Eight Realms can enter, so I didn't tell you."

"Hmph."

Yun Zhi Yi stomped angrily, eyes watery, "You're only in the Divine Soul Realm, why go there on a mission? You can refuse; if anyone dares to tell you otherwise, I'll have dad beat them."

"It's fine."

Lin Chuan hugged her, "I also need experience to grow; being stuck in the Divine Soul Realm for so long, maybe I need this trial."

"Alright… fine."

Yun Zhi Yi lowered her brows, "This is the embroidered Peace Blessing I made for you; keep it on you, and good fortune will protect you to return safely."

"Okay."

Lin Chuan smiled and put it on.

Xiao Qingmei is always Xiao Qingmei, gentle and considerate in every life.

This scene made the Sixth Prince at the front of the squad clench his fists, murderous intent flickering.

If not for the Cloud Kingdom's storyline not yet reaching a turning point, Lin Chuan would truly want to slap this prince to death.

In his memory.

The Cloud Kingdom underwent a massive upheaval during this period.

The reason was that the contemporary Cloud Emperor felt the Grand General was too threatening and ultimately schemed to grievously wound him on the Black Mist battlefield.

This also caused turmoil throughout the Cloud Kingdom.

The Cloud Emperor was eventually backfired by fate, the throne seized by the Elder Princess, who later died heroically on the Black Mist battlefield.

Yun Zhi Yi controlled the Cloud Kingdom's fate, assisting the still‑young Little Prince to ascend the throne.

Soon after, the Black Mist War erupted fully.

Yun Zhi Yi followed Lin Chuan to battle the Black Mist core and ultimately died in combat.

But in this life, Lin Chuan will not let any of that happen; any Cloud Kingdom royalty daring misdeeds can simply be replaced.

He said goodbye to Xiao Qingmei.

Lin Chuan boarded a Cloud Kingdom airship and rushed to the border.

According to the intel, the Secret Realm contested by the Cloud Kingdom and the Spirit Clan hides a supreme treasure coveted even by the Wangxian Realm.

But due to the Secret Realm's restrictions, only cultivators of the Mortal Dust Eight Realms can enter.

As for the exact treasure, no one knows.

Usually both sides' cultivators deduce it; without seeing the object, they still fight for a fleeting, ethereal chance.

After so many rounds of contention, both sides have lost many geniuses, and the true fire has been ignited.

Whether it's a treasure or not is irrelevant; what's important is crushing the opponent's momentum.

Fighting for pride.

Lin Chuan sighed; his palms and backs are all flesh, so it'd be best if nobody wins.

He has already decided to hide the treasure, keep it for himself, let no one have it; that way the problem is perfectly solved.

Hmm, no problem.

The spaceship continuously darts through space.

After a ten‑day journey, they finally arrived at the Cloud Kingdom border from the Imperial Capital.

Standing on the ship, Lin Chuan can see the edge of the secret realm; its entrance looks like a water bubble floating in the air.

Beside the entrance, Cloud Kingdom cultivators defend in multiple layers.

At the far opposite end, another huge bubble is firmly occupied by Spirit Clan cultivators.

Through soul perception, Lin Chuan senses that this secret realm is indeed extraordinary; no wonder the two great superpowers have expended so much effort on it.

"Interesting."

Lin Chuan, intrigued, says, "Maybe it really is something useful to me."

Reborn for a lifetime, he is not here to become a saint.

Whatever treasure suits him must be snatched; only then can he grow at the fastest speed and win the battle against Black Mist.

Everything else should stay out of the way.

"Did you all see that?"

"This is the Unborn Secret Realm; after the great powers jointly deduced, a yet‑unborn supreme treasure is hidden within."

"While the supreme treasure is still unborn, we must seize it."

"Once it truly appears, it will draw more turmoil; then it won't just be a contest with the Spirit Clan, as all superpowers will intervene."

"Hope you do not disappoint the Cloud Emperor's expectations."

The Cloud Kingdom dispatched a national guardian to guard the secret realm entrance; his strength has reached the True God Realm.

Such a powerful being personally garrisoning it explains many issues sufficiently.

This also makes Lin Chuan even more eager.

Lin Chuan can also feel the Sixth Prince's almost unmasked murderous intent; having come this far, there is no way back, so concealment is unnecessary.

Regarding the Sixth Prince's attitude, the elders of the Cloud Kingdom turn a blind eye, acting as if they noticed nothing.

"Now! Enter the secret realm!"

At the national guardian's command, Sixth Prince Yun Xing leads the way into the secret realm.

As the weakest Divine Soul Realm members in the group, Lin Chuan and Xiao Kun naturally enter last.

Lin Chuan's gaze drifts to the distance, where another party also walks into the secret realm; he senses a familiar aura.

An aura that makes the soul tremble.
