Chapter 1057

Time is the most terrifying weapon.

Two thousand years of time are enough to dull the secret patterns on SSR-grade alloy.

They can also cause once-rare resources to lose their original effects.

Xu Jingming searched the room thoroughly; there were indeed many items.

But after two thousand years of erosion, the effects of these rare flowers, herbs, and pills were far inferior to their former state.

The rarest pill retained only the effect of an ordinary SSR-grade item.

The resources obtained by Su Qingli, Ling Shuang, and Eva were the same.

"It seems the most valuable item is this Embrace of the Burning Sun, but unfortunately I couldn't find the combat technique legacy of the Flame Divine Sovereign."

Xu Jingming felt some regret.

The rewards from this supreme being's secret realm were far fewer than he had imagined.

He did acquire some resources, but most had little use for him at his current stage.

More importantly, he was not an elemental fire-affinity adept; the once-perfect-level elemental weapon, Embrace of the Burning Sun, was useless to him.

The Flame Divine Sovereign's combat technique legacy would be somewhat useful.

Through analogy, it might help him create his own unique lightning-based combat techniques.

Unfortunately, after searching the entire palace complex, he found not a single combat scripture or Wu Yin.

"The Embrace of the Burning Sun was his former elemental weapon; perhaps his combat technique legacy is hidden within it."

Ling Shuang mused aloud.

The Jiuyuan Hairpin was an example—she learned a combat technique legacy from the Void Divine Sovereign from it.

Of course,

after later studying under Himan, she had received the complete transmission of knowledge.

"That's true, but we don't seem to have a trustworthy elemental fire-affinity adept to test the Embrace of the Burning Sun."

As soon as Xu Jingming finished speaking, Su Qingli turned her beautiful eyes toward him and softly spoke:

"Who says we don't? Isn't your senior, Leng Yuexi, an S-rank elemental fire-affinity adept?

Based on my understanding of her, she's trustworthy."

Su Qingli's words carried an implied meaning.

During the Breakthrough Tower incident, Leng Yuexi and Leng Yuechan had traveled with them for a time.

The sharp-witted girl naturally saw the feelings the two sisters held for Xu Jingming.

Later, the two sisters left the Breakthrough Tower with them.

After killing Hu Jinyu and Xu Jingming's departure to Sakura Nation,

it was clearly evident that Leng Yuexi and her sister had grown despondent.

They then stayed no longer at Lei Ting Martial Hall, ultimately choosing to leave.

"Senior Xi? She could certainly try it."

Xu Jingming cleared his throat, pretending not to notice the teasing in Su Qingli's gaze, and turned to Ling Shuang:

"Teacher Ling, can this secret realm space be relocated?"

Since the secret realm held no exceptionally rare resources,

why not simply take the entire realm away and turn it into his own private garden?

"Yes."

Ling Shuang nodded, "Just change the anchor coordinates stored in the secret realm key."

For other adepts, achieving this would be difficult.

But for her, who had mastered the Void Divine Sovereign's legacy, it was simple.

"Good." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

"It's a pity the Void Divine Sovereign's perfect-level elemental weapon, Divine Kite Pearl, hasn't been found yet.

Otherwise, we could directly merge this secret realm space into it, making it portable and eliminating the need to open the realm at a fixed location."

The Divine Kite Pearl was essentially a large space ring.

But unlike ordinary space rings, living beings could enter the Divine Kite Pearl!

Unfortunately, even Master Himan didn't know its whereabouts; Ling Shuang only knew it was somewhere in the northeast of Great Xia.

Finding it would be extremely difficult.

"Divine Kite Pearl... once I have time later, I can try looking for it."

Xu Jingming's eyes flickered slightly, then he placed all the loot into his space ring, "Let's go out. Next, we head to the Void Divine Temple to see what your senior's stance is."

Also, his mental strength has reached 1.92 million Hz—he should go learn the SSR-grade mental refinement technique from Teacher Aimos.

Outside, the number of supreme beings around the teleportation corridor had already reached five!

Yet Zhou Yuanwu still stood guard there, his posture upright, his cold expression unchanged despite the growing number of supreme beings.

Among these supreme beings, the only one he truly cared about was Evelyn.

He and Evelyn were both Starlight Rank Two; all other supreme beings were merely Starlight Rank One.

After entering Starlight Rank, the gap between even a single sub-rank was like a chasm.

He could fight three Starlight Rank One adepts alone; he naturally had no fear of others.

This was also why, among the six giant nations of Blue Planet, only Great Xia and America held a superior status.

Suddenly, a sonic boom echoed as another fighter jet flew in from the horizon and hovered nearby.

Then, a man clad in crimson armor stepped out of the jet,

radiating intense heat like a sun.

Flame Divine Sovereign Lei Ding! A supreme being from the Ember World!

"This is..."

Lei Ding first scanned the surroundings, but when he saw the teleportation passage,

his pupils shrank sharply, and deep within his eyes, a hint of excitement surged forth.

Even though over two thousand years had passed, he still recognized at a glance that this was his master's secret realm!

"I never expected this secret realm would reappear!"

Lei Ding's eyes blazed with intense light.

Originally, because of the Ember Seed Project, he had been sent by the Void God into the Ember World.

But his master had stayed behind, joining other supreme beings in a final battle against the Molten Colossus.

He had assumed that with his master's death and the loss of the secret realm's key, this realm could never be reopened.

Yet he never imagined he would stumble upon it by chance.

"Embrace of the Blazing Sun! A perfect-tier elemental weapon!

If I could claim it, my strength would rise another tier!"

As a supreme being, Lei Ding naturally possessed a perfect-tier elemental weapon.

But compared to the Embrace of the Blazing Sun, it was vastly inferior.

After all, his master had spent decades searching for materials to forge this weapon.

And the Ember World where he resided was resource-poor.

The perfect-tier elemental weapon he forged after reaching the supreme realm was merely the lowest grade.

It could not be compared at all to the refined-tier Embrace of the Blazing Sun!

If any place could recover his master's elemental weapon, it was undoubtedly this secret realm!

"The secret realm has opened—why aren't you all entering?" Lei Ding's deep voice echoed across the entire sky.

Zhou Yuanwu frowned and said sternly, "This secret realm belongs to Great Xia."

"Great Xia?"

Lei Ding raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhou Yuanwu with a blank expression:

"Secret realms are inherently ownerless—when did they become your Great Xia's property?"

At these words, the surrounding supreme beings were taken aback, then wore expressions of eager anticipation.

Zhou Yuanwu of Great Xia was no one to be trifled with.
