Chapter 47: Plane Secret Realm Challenge Dungeon

Mu Yi slumped on the sofa; such a long stretch of Dungeon life left him a bit dazed.

The rare tranquility made him slightly uneasy, and the hard‑won Chronicle of New Deeds gave him no urge to open it.

"If I'm idle, I might as well try the new ability we obtained!"

Mu Yi sprang up from the sofa, a murderous intent sharpening his mind, and when he left the Dungeon, he completely drained both his blue soul and red soul.

He had acquired several lightning‑type abilities from the Sacred Mighty Thunder Vajra Statue, just in time to test them.

Without hesitation, he entered Goblin Disaster (Hard Difficulty).

"Boom!"

But after a few minutes, he exited the Dungeon.

"Too weak!"

Opponents that once gave him trouble and required stacking attributes instantly turned to a lump of charcoal before his swinging thunder, and he hadn't even managed to use a second move.

Mu Yi fell silent; he had never imagined that an opponent being too weak could be his bother.

Looking at the Goblin Disaster Dungeon that had entered the CD period, Mu Yi for a moment couldn't think of what he should do.

Out of sheer boredom, Mu Yi could only pull out the Chronicle of New Deeds and start leafing through it, at least to obtain the abilities it grants before savoring the book's mysteries later.

"Zongwang Prompt: By reading the book, your understanding of military formations deepens, Military Strategist‑Formation experience increased."

"Current Military Strategist‑Formation has reached the maximum level!"

"By reading the book, you have obtained Formation‑Yuan Yang Formation."

"Formation‑Yuan Yang Formation learned, converted into Formation‑Yuan Yang Formation experience."

"Current Formation‑Yuan Yang Formation level increased, now LV3."

Formation‑Yuan Yang Formation LV3:

New Effect 5: Grants all troops the 'Yin‑Yang Harmony' state.

In Yin‑Yang Harmony, Cloud Energy will spontaneously replenish troops, who will continuously receive massive (based on current total Cloud Energy) health and energy regeneration.

"Sss!"

Mu Yi inhaled a cold breath, his blue aura automatically healing him; needless to say, as a custom formation of a famed general, this effect is simply unbeatable.

If before there was an endurance issue for sustained combat, this time it directly patched that shortcoming.

Before Mu Yi could finish his shock, another message refreshed on his retina.

"Zongwang Prompt: By reading the book, you have obtained Formation‑Three Talents Formation."

Formation‑Three Talents Formation:

Quality: Purple Epic

Type: Profession Skill

Current Level: Level 1 (limited by Profession Skill Military Strategist‑Formation level, maximum currently upgradeable to Level 5).

Formation Effect 1: Increases Agility by 15%.

Formation Effect 2: Increases Perception by 15%.

PS: This formation cannot be used simultaneously with Yuan Yang Formation.

Unlike the ordinary Heaven‑Earth‑Human Three Talents Formation, Qi Jiguang's Three Talents Formation is a variant of Yuan Yang Formation, requiring fewer participants—at least three—for charging and pursuing enemy troops.

It emphasizes pursuit ability, strengthening mainly Agility and Perception, both to catch up to foes and to prevent them from delivering a counter‑cavalry strike.

Mu Yi pondered the differences; the classification of formations seemed more numerous than he imagined, and the Spring‑Autumn Grand Dream that once let him stack two epic formations was now completely ruined.

Mu Yi felt a bit depressed, but it was only a minor flaw in an otherwise beautiful experience; his gains were already plentiful.

……

In the following days, Mu Yi led a plain life—reading, grinding Goblin Dungeons—until a Zongwang Prompt shattered the tranquility.

【Zongwang Prompt: You have cleared Goblin Disaster (Hard Difficulty) 10 times; the current Goblin Disaster (Hard Difficulty) is now closed.】

【Zongwang Prompt: You have fully cleared the Newbie Dungeon; the Newbie Dungeon is now closed.】

【Zongwang Prompt: Detected player has completely left the Newbie period; Weekly Free Dungeon, Monthly Plane Secret Realm Challenge Dungeon, Random Solo Challenge Dungeon, and Random Team Cooperation Dungeon have been unlocked.】

Mu Yi touched his chin; so he had just left Newbie Village?

So his earlier foray into Jiuzhou Dungeon was a bit reckless?

The new Dungeon options sparked some interest in Mu Yi; he was already tired of speed‑running Goblin Disaster, and the new Dungeon sounded like a good choice.

【This Week's Weekly Free Dungeon: Luanzang Hill】

Luanzang Hill:

Looking at the Weekly Free Dungeon, Mu Yi found it odd—what mechanism refreshes the weekly free Dungeon?

Is it based on one's profession level?

Having speed‑run Goblin Disaster Hard, Mu Yi thought this Weekly Free Dungeon wouldn't mean much to him.

Probably he could only grind some experience and Zongwang Disaster Coins, but weren't daily Dungeons usually for that purpose?

Maybe Epic difficulty could give him a bit of a challenge?

……

In the Zongwang prompts, Mu Yi learned the origin of the Plane Secret Realm.

The Plane Secret Realm originates from fluctuations of the Plane's universal consciousness, not far from the material realm of the Prime Plane, and can be considered a unique benefit for each Zongwang player.

Such Plane Secret Realms usually arise from the fantasies of intelligent beings, possessing the cultural flavor of the Prime Plane.

Without a doubt, the Giant Dragon Treasury obviously originated from the fantasy of swords and magic.

Mu Yi rubbed his chin; a Plane Secret Realm for levels 5–10 has a fairly broad power range, but perhaps he can handle it.

Before he had any enhancements, he could kill the weasel spirit; although he had the advantage of lightning restraint, now he has become stronger, perhaps he can try this stage one?

Just right to give it a try, the ability obtained from exchanging the Holy Might Thunderbolt Vajra Goddess Statue, can it help him defeat strong enemies.

Thinking it, he goes to do it; the challenge of the Weekly Free Dungeon is really not big, he hardly has any interest, first challenging the Plane Secret Realm once before grinding the Weekly Free Dungeon is not too late.
