Chapter 450: The Thousand Wonders Secret Realm Three Hundred Years Later, the Expansion of the Dream Realm

~35 min read 6,966 words

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another three hundred years have passed.

Ever since the Boundary Gates fully formed, the Great Vehicle Cultivators of the Prison Demon World have invaded on a massive scale, and the Spirit World has been engulfed in flames of war everywhere, with countless casualties.

It is unknown how many factions and races have perished in this catastrophe.

Of course, the Spirit World possesses formidable strength, so it is naturally impossible for the Prison Demon World to annihilate it.

The cultivators of the two great worlds are evenly matched.

Moreover, it is not just the Prison Demon World invading the Spirit World; the cultivators of the Spirit World have also invaded the Prison Demon World.

Some True Spirit Races have occupied various Boundary Gates, turning them into bridgeheads for invading the Prison Demon World, dispatching large numbers of cultivators to slaughter their way into the Prison Demon World and plunder the treasures within.

In short, the cultivators of the two great worlds are locked in an inextricable battle.

Only the weak races can only struggle to survive in this war, fearing they will be caught in the crossfire and perish.

At this very moment, in the Shattered Star Sea, Kunpeng Sea Area.

A Seven-Tier Flying Boat is sailing across the sea, but this Flying Boat has clearly suffered a massive disaster; its exterior is covered in dense cracks, as if it has endured countless attacks.

It looks as if it will completely fall apart in the next second.

Piloting this Flying Boat is the Human Race Integration Stage cultivator, Shensuan Daoren.

Residing on the Flying Boat are one hundred thousand Human Race elites, all of whom have fled from the Human Imperial City.

"Senior Shensuan, a group of Heavenly Demon race cultivators is pursuing us from behind, with at least three Integration Great Powers among them. What should we do now?" A Human Race Refining Void cultivator's expression is very grim.

Having escaped from the Human Imperial City, he had thought he would be able to survive.

Who could have imagined that after entering the Shattered Star Sea, they would actually encounter pursuit from the Heavenly Demon race.

One must know that Shensuan Daoren is already severely injured, making it nearly impossible to face the pursuit of the Heavenly Demon race Integration Great Powers.

Once they are caught by the enemy, they will undoubtedly die.

"Do not worry, our lives are not meant to end here."

"According to my divination, today is not our day of death."

"On the contrary, it is a day of great fortune, where the bad luck turns into good."

Facing such a desperate situation, Shensuan Daoren is not only not despairing, but is instead incomparably excited; his eyes reveal a glimmer of light, and the black abacus in his hands taps incessantly, as if calculating fate.

To tell the truth, at the beginning, he had not intended to lead the main force to the Shattered Star Sea.

But suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and divined that the only chance of survival for his group was the Shattered Star Sea.

It was because of this that Shensuan Daoren made a prompt decision, immediately choosing to turn around and steer the Flying Boat toward the Shattered Star Sea.

Sure enough, after arriving at the Shattered Star Sea, all disasters suddenly vanished.

It was as if they had received protection from the unseen.

Following the guidance of fate, Shensuan Daoren steered the Flying Boat, turning left and right, until they arrived at the Kunpeng Sea Area.

Even now, encountering the pursuit of the Heavenly Demon race army, he is completely unafraid, instead feeling that this is the day when fortune turns, and that their lives are absolutely not meant to end.

Rumble~~~

Just at this moment, in the sky, dozens or hundreds of Human Race cultivator figures suddenly appeared; they are all Refining Void cultivators, releasing Domain Power from their bodies.

They are scattered everywhere, seemingly surrounding a massive Heavenly Demon race army in the distance.

"What is going on? How can there be Human cultivators in the Shattered Star Sea?"

Someone is completely bewildered, finding it hard to believe, thinking they are hallucinating.

After all, according to the records of the Human Race, apart from the Canglong Continent, humans should not exist anywhere else.

But now, they have actually seen Human cultivators other than themselves in the Shattered Star Sea; it is truly inconceivable.

"No, have these Refining Void cultivators gone completely mad?"

"That is a Heavenly Demon race army, and there are at least three Integration Heavenly Demons among them, if not more."

"There are thousands of Refining Void Heavenly Demons, how dare they surround a Heavenly Demon race army?"

"Are they seeking death?"

On the Flying Boat, many Human cultivators are stunned; normally, facing such a massive Heavenly Demon race army, one would definitely flee immediately, never daring to confront them head-on.

But these Human Refining Void cultivators are different; they are completely fearless, meeting the challenge head-on.

"Rest assured, I do not see the aura of death on them; they are not fools, they must have something to rely on."

Shensuan Daoren narrows his eyes.

He senses that this group of Human Refining Void cultivators is very unusual; although they are only at the Refining Void Realm, they bring him a huge sense of threat, as if he would surely die if he dared to act against them.

In other words, this group of Human cultivators must possess the power to deal with Integration Great Powers.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be so unscrupulous and arrogant.

Rumble~~~

In an instant, under the gaze of Shensuan Daoren, that group of Human Refining Void cultivators actually took out a green bean from their bodies and immediately threw it out.

Suddenly, these green beans grew in the wind, instantly transforming into Dao Soldiers, their bodies permeated with terrifying power.

An invisible Integration pressure shrouded the sea area for a million kilometers around.

Integration Dao Soldiers!

Without a doubt, these must be Integration Realm Dao Soldiers.

And it is not just one or two Integration Dao Soldiers, but over a hundred of them.

This is simply too exaggerated.

Even the Human Imperial City of the past only possessed a little over a hundred Integration cultivators.

But now, this group of Human cultivators alone has brought out over a hundred Integration Dao Soldiers.

This means that the power of these Human cultivators is enough to rival the Human Imperial City of the past.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

One saw over a hundred Body Integration Dao Soldiers strike, bare-handed and possessing infinite strength, seemingly accompanied by Dragon Elephant Shadows, as if they had beaten this Void until it collapsed, flickering with countless Dragon Elephant Runes.

It seemed as if the Qi of this heaven and earth had condensed into individual Dragon Elephants.

In merely a few breaths of time, that army of Heavenly Demons was completely wiped out.

Even the Heavenly Demons of the Integration Realm had no way to escape; they were beaten to death by that group of Body Integration Dao Soldiers, leaving not even a corpse behind.

A catastrophe was thus dissolved into nothingness.

"This."

On the Flying Boat, many Human Cultivators saw this scene and were simply dumbfounded and speechless.

They were currently unable to say a single word.

Because such a scene was truly too astonishing; after all, when had they ever seen the Human Race be this ferocious?

"Is this really our Human Race Cultivators?"

Many cultivators could not help but swallow their saliva; they truly had not expected that the Human Race could also be this powerful.

Because in the past, the Human Race was always bullied by the various major races.

They could only struggle to survive in the Spirit World.

Even though they had built one hundred and eight cities, they were always in danger of being overturned.

How could it be like now, actually being able to easily slaughter an army of the Heavenly Demon Race?

"That's right, they are definitely Human Race Cultivators."

"I said that our lives were not meant to end today."

Shensuan Daoren laughed heartily, feeling very joyful; he knew that a chance of survival had appeared for his group.

If they could obtain the help of this group of strange Human Cultivators, then they could survive in the Shattered Star Sea.

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Shensuan Daoren's figure flashed, and he immediately left the Flying Boat, arriving before this group of strange Human Cultivators; he knew that even if he wanted to hide now, it was impossible.

Only by facing this group of strange Human Cultivators and gaining their favor would they have a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, as the weaker party, one naturally could not let the strong come to them.

It was better for him to pay a visit in person.

"Fellow Daoists."

Shensuan Daoren cupped his hands, looking at this group of Human Refining Void Cultivators in mid-air, yet he did not dare to underestimate them in the slightest.

After all, any one of the Body Integration Dao Soldiers beside these Refining Void cultivators could wipe him out.

Not to mention that over a hundred Body Integration Dao Soldiers added together, that was an even more unimaginable power.

"Oh, isn't this Senior Shensuan? Long time no see."

Just at this moment, a hearty voice came over.

"Wait, you are Yin Tianxi?!"

Shensuan Daoren's pupils contracted; he looked at the familiar middle-aged man before him, and distant memories suddenly surfaced.

This person, Yin Tianxi, was a cultivator he had once given guidance to in the past.

But because their acquaintance was too shallow, it was merely a one-time meeting.

He also had not expected to encounter the other party again in the Shattered Star Sea.

Originally, he thought this person should have died long ago.

He did not expect that the other party was not dead, and instead, the Luck on his body had become increasingly grand; he had now even advanced to the Infusion Late Stage.

It seemed he had a chance to advance to Integration.

The path of fate is truly infinitely profound.

"That's right, it is indeed me, Yin Tianxi."

"I didn't expect Senior Shensuan to also appear in the Shattered Star Sea; it is truly a great coincidence."

"I was originally wondering why other Human Cultivators would appear in the Shattered Star Sea."

"Now that I see, it is actually our own people."

Yin Tianxi laughed heartily, feeling very excited, and greeted Shensuan Daoren.

He had quite a sense of excitement at meeting an old acquaintance.

After all, as an Integration Stage cultivator, Shensuan Daoren was a big figure of the Human Race, simply high and unreachable.

Even if he wanted to meet the other party, it was an extremely difficult thing.

Now that there was actually a chance to forge a bond of kindness, it was indeed a tremendous good fortune.

"However, Senior Shensuan, shouldn't you be in the Human Imperial City?"

"Why have you suddenly appeared in the Shattered Star Sea? Could it be that something happened to the Imperial City?"

Yin Tianxi's eyes flickered, as if he had guessed something.

"Something did indeed happen."

"Originally, our Human Imperial City was as solid as a golden fortress under the leadership of the Human Emperor."

"Even when attacked by the Golden Toad Race, the Puppet Race, and other races, it remained unscathed."

"If it had continued to stalemate, there might have been a chance to turn defeat into victory."

"But who could have imagined that at this time, the Puppet Race actually led an army of the Prison Race and an army of the Heavenly Demon Race over."

"Facing such a situation, even if the Human Emperor were more powerful, he could not have held on."

"In order to protect the vitality of the Human Race, we various Integration Stage cultivators took many cultivators and Treasures from the Human Imperial City, placed them all on Flying Boats, broke into smaller groups, and escaped from the Imperial City."

"As for the Human Emperor, he stayed behind to cover our retreat, intercepted many Great Vehicle experts alone, and ultimately perished."

"We also went through untold hardships and dodged countless pursuits before finally arriving at the Shattered Star Sea."

Shensuan Daoren felt helpless and told the situation of his group in full detail.

Originally, he had wanted to withhold some information, but upon seeing the hundreds of Body Integration Dao Soldiers surrounding them, he chose to give up.

After all, if the other party were to use force, his group would definitely have no way to survive.

Since that was the case, it was better to be frank; perhaps it might even make the other party feel favorably toward them.

Of course, more importantly, he did not see any death aura on himself.

This meant that this group of Human Cultivators before him did not have much malice toward them.

Even if they knew that they were carrying a large amount of Treasure brought out from the Human Imperial City.

It was estimated that they would not kill them.

"The Human Emperor has fallen?"

"The various Integration Stage Cultivators took the Human Race's assets and went their separate ways?!"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of Yin Tianxi and the others changed drastically; they had not expected such a change to occur to the Human Race on the Canglong Continent.

One must know that the Human Emperor had protected the Human Race for over a hundred thousand years; if not for the Human Emperor, the Human Race would likely have long since disappeared from the Spirit World, wiped out by numerous races.

But now that the Human Emperor had actually died, it was equivalent to the collapse of the Human Race's pillar, and the impact of this could be imagined.

However, they soon calmed down.

Because the pillar of the Human Race was no longer the Human Emperor; even if the Human Emperor had fallen, according to the current strength of the Human Race, they could still easily survive on this cruel land.

After all, the times had changed, and the Human Race was no longer as weak as before.

"Heh, back then they said that obtaining the Immortal Artifact Red Thunder Immortal Ruler would allow the Human Race to rise."

"They would rather abandon one hundred and eight cities just to obtain the Immortal Artifact."

"Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the Human Race would be torn apart and nearly face extinction."

"Is this how you prove that you can make the Human Race rise?"

A Refining Void Cultivator sneered.

He did not sympathize with the plight of these Human Imperial City Cultivators at all; instead, he felt they deserved it.

If they had not been so greedy in the past, snatching the Immortal Artifact Red Thunder Immortal Ruler, then the Human Race would not have encountered such a catastrophe.

But it was precisely because these Integration Stage Cultivators were greedy that the Human Race was torn apart, completely collapsed, and suffered countless casualties.

The most miserable were the mortals in the various cities.

After encountering the siege of various races, they were almost wiped out in an instant.

They didn't even have room to resist.

"This matter is indeed our fault."

"We originally thought this Immortal Artifact could lead our Human Race to rise."

"But who could have known it would bring endless disaster and lead to the destruction of the Imperial City."

"However, if it were to happen again, we would still make the same choice."

"Because our Human Race is too weak and is in danger of being wiped out at any time."

"Therefore, even if we have to pay a heavy price, we must use any means to become stronger."

"This is the law of the Spirit World: the weak are prey to the strong, and only the fittest survive."

"Even if it costs the lives of countless Humans, as long as we can ensure the survival of the Human Race, everything is worth it."

Shensuan Daoren said very seriously.

Even though it had now brought about such serious consequences, he did not have the slightest regret; instead, he felt it was only right and proper.

The only thing he felt regretful about was that the Human Race was too weak, which was why they encountered this disaster.

If the Human Race were a bit stronger, they would definitely not have ended up in such a state.

"This."

Hearing these words, the Cultivators who had originally wanted to mock them a few times fell silent; they were not fools, and naturally, they knew why the Integration Stage Cultivators had made such a choice in the past.

Such a choice was indeed very cruel to the low-level Cultivators.

But forced by the situation, they had no choice but to do so.

Otherwise, the Human Race would never rise and would always be mud on the ground, bullied by other races.

"Alright, alright, everyone is a member of the Human Race."

"Why continue to kick someone when they are down?"

"The reason for ending up in this situation was not something that Senior Shensuan could decide in the past."

Yin Tianxi still spoke up to offer a few words of comfort, incidentally giving Shensuan Daoren a way out.

After all, he had also received favors from the other party in the past.

If not for the few words of guidance from Shensuan Daoren in the past, he would not have been able to achieve what he had today.

Doing this now could be considered repaying a debt of gratitude.

"If I am not mistaken, you should be the Cultivators from the former Fengxi City."

Shensuan Daoren's eyes flickered.

Although it had only been a few brief sentences just now, he had already begun to discern the identity of this group of Human Cultivators.

That is, the Humans from the former Fengxi City.

Almost a thousand years ago, Fengxi City was once one of the one hundred and eight cities of the Human Race.

But because the Immortal Artifact Red Thunder Immortal Ruler was found near Fengxi City, it brought a great disaster upon the Human Race.

And Fengxi City should have been the first city to be destroyed.

However, it seems now that Fengxi City, which was moved to the Shattered Star Sea by Fengxi Daoren, does not seem to have been destroyed.

Instead, as time passed, it became increasingly powerful, even possessing a sense of being unfathomable.

Even he found it a bit difficult to see through.

It is estimated that over these past thousand years, Fengxi City must have obtained unimaginable fortuitous encounters, which is why such changes have occurred.

In fact, this is not an impossible matter.

Such things happen frequently in the Spirit World as well.

For example, a race might obtain an Immortal Artifact, obtain rare treasures from an Immortal Mansion, and so on, thereby rising rapidly.

He felt that Fengxi City might also be like this.

"That's right, we are all Human Cultivators from the former Fengxi City."

"However, our territory is no longer just a single city now."

"Instead, we possess a Secret Realm World."

Yin Tianxi nodded; he did not hide anything and spoke straightforwardly.

What?!

Hearing this, Shensuan Daoren's pupils constricted, revealing a look of shock and terror.

Clearly, the development of the former Fengxi City was simply beyond imagination; one must know what the concept of a Secret Realm World is—it is a Human Imperial City, possessing the protection of an Eighth-Order Array.

It is equivalent to Fengxi City having obtained a Human Imperial City; this is an incredible fortuitous encounter.

No wonder this group of Human Cultivators is so formidable now; I fear this fortuitous encounter is simply beyond imagination.

It is just that I do not know to what extent the strength of Fengxi City has reached now.

"Alright, let's not talk too much about these things for now; this is not the place to talk."

"Having slaughtered this army of the Heavenly Demon Race, I fear it will attract even more Heavenly Demons."

"We had better leave quickly; staying here, I fear that delays will lead to complications."

Yin Tianxi did not want to chat about Fengxi City or the Human Race here; after all, walls have ears, and who knows what living beings exist nearby? It would not be too late to talk after returning to the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

"Good."

Shensuan Daoren nodded; he also felt that this place was not suitable for discussing certain things, and it would not be too late to find a safe place and then slowly learn more later.

Whoosh!

Immediately, Yin Tianxi and the others flashed, following Shensuan Daoren into this Seventh-tier Flying Ship.

Then, under the guidance of Yin Tianxi and the others, Shensuan Daoren operated the Flying Boat and flew toward the distance.

After several hours had passed, having crossed who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, they finally arrived at the Mist Sea.

"Is this the place where the Human Race resides?"

Standing on the Flying Boat and looking at the scenery outside the window, Shensuan Daoren's pupils constricted as he looked at the vast white mist in the distance; he could not see the end at all, nor could he know what exactly was inside the white mist.

Normally speaking, it would be absolutely impossible for him to enter such a strange and dangerous sea area.

Because the unknown represents danger.

Once one accidentally enters some perilous place, I fear that no number of lives would be enough to die.

But since this is the place where Yin Tianxi and the others arrived, it is completely different.

This means that the Mist Sea is the territory of the Human Race.

"That's right, this Mist Sea is our Human Race's base in the Shattered Star Sea."

"The place shrouded by the mist is our Human Race's territory."

"As long as we enter the Mist Sea, we are considered completely safe."

"No enemy dares to follow us into the Mist Sea."

Yin Tianxi nodded.

Boom~~

Without another word, this Human Seventh-tier Flying Ship immediately entered the Mist Sea; suddenly, one could not see one's own fingers, the visibility did not exceed three meters, and it was impossible to distinguish east, west, south, or north.

The Human Cultivators on the Flying Boat were all stunned.

They felt as if they had entered a white mist labyrinth.

Rumble~~~

Before they could say anything, from the depths of the sea, terrifying and enormous Wild Beasts instantly emerged; each Deep Sea Wild Beast was several thousand, or even tens of thousands of meters long, resembling great mountains, towering and incomparable.

A terrifying aura permeated from their bodies, distorting this Void.

In front of the many Wild Beasts, this Seventh-tier Flying Ship was simply like a toy, not worth mentioning at all.

As long as this group of Wild Beasts moved slightly, they could tear the Seventh-tier Flying Ship into pieces, leaving nothing behind.

"It's over, this is the lair of Wild Beasts; we are dead for sure."

Many Human Cultivators were scared out of their wits, their faces ashen.

It can be said that in the places visible to the naked eye, at least hundreds of Integration Realm Wild Beasts appeared, and if one counted the places invisible to the naked eye, I fear the number of Wild Beasts was even greater.

They had entered the lair of the Wild Beasts.

One by one, they regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.

If they had known that this Mist Sea was not a good place, they wouldn't have foolishly followed them in; now they were dead for sure.

It was a waste that they had trusted their compatriots before; now it seemed clear that they wanted to bring them to the Wild Beasts as a snack.

"What are you afraid of? These are not Wild Beasts, but Spirit Beasts of our Human Race, already tamed by our Human Race." Yin Tianxi laughed heartily, finding it very interesting to see this group of ashen-faced Human Cultivators.

The reason he did not warn these people in advance was precisely because he wanted to see this scene.

After all, any person who suddenly encountered hundreds of Integration Realm Wild Beasts would be scared out of their wits.

"How is that possible? These are Wild Beasts, and Integration Realm Wild Beasts at that; how could they be tamed just like that? It's too ridiculous."

Some simply did not believe such nonsense.

After all, that is a Wild Beast renowned throughout the Spirit World; if it were truly so easy to tame, it would have been tamed long ago.

How could there still be Wild Beasts all over the mountains and plains to this day?

He had never heard of any power in the Spirit World capable of taming Wild Beasts.

"Ignorant fellow."

"How many Secret Techniques of the Spirit World do you actually know? You are nothing but a frog at the bottom of a well."

"Do you know that we have already tamed nine hundred Integration Spirit Beasts like this one?"

"What does a mere handful of Wild Beasts count for?"

Yin Tianxi looked at the many Human Cultivators with great disdain, feeling that this group of people were basically all frogs at the bottom of a well who had never left the Human Race settlements in their entire lives, had no idea what was happening in the outside world, and did not know how vast the Spirit World truly was.

"Tamed nine hundred Integration Wild Beasts?"

Hearing this, the crowd was completely stunned, unable to believe what their ears had heard.

Because they felt it was simply too absurd.

Taming even a single Integration Wild Beast was an incredible feat, let alone taming nine hundred of them.

One must know, these were not ordinary Wild Beasts, but Integration Realm Wild Beasts.

Their strength was comparable to an Integration Great Power, and even more formidable than an Integration Great Power of the same rank.

If they had truly tamed nine hundred Integration Wild Beasts, it meant that the Human Race now possessed at least nine hundred units of Integration combat power, which was even more formidable than the Human Race in its heyday.

Therefore, it was only natural that they found such a thing incredible.

But at this moment, they also remembered the Body Integration Dao Soldiers on Yin Tianxi and the others, which were basically one for every person.

If that was the case, then nothing was impossible.

After all, with so many Body Integration Dao Soldiers, mere Integration Spirit Beasts were nothing, right?

One could only say that their own knowledge was still too limited.

"In that case, is this entire Mist Sea the territory of the Human Race?"

Shensuan Daoren could not help but ask.

"That's right, it is naturally the territory of the Human Race, and also our Human Race's fishing ground."

"Although cultivators of other races see the Mist Sea, they will not foolishly enter the sea area."

"But Wild Beasts are different; they treat this place as their paradise."

"Therefore, the inside of the Mist Sea is the lair of the Wild Beasts."

"Thanks to this, we can also hunt a large number of Wild Beasts every day, and basically have Wild Beast meat to eat at every meal."

Yin Tianxi said triumphantly.

After all, this was not something the Feng Xi of the past could compare to; even the Human Imperial City could not achieve this.

Wanting every human, or even every mortal, to have Wild Beast meat on their table was simply wishful thinking.

But now, the Qianmiao Secret Realm had achieved exactly that.

"A Human Race fishing ground, is it?"

Many Human Cultivators felt incomparably excited upon hearing this; they seemed to see such a future scene, where Wild Beast meat was no longer a scarce resource, and everyone could eat it.

And they felt that achieving this was a very normal thing.

After all, having tamed so many Integration Wild Beasts, relying solely on the power of these Integration Wild Beasts was enough to hunt a large number of Wild Beasts every day, without needing other Human Cultivators to take action.

Without a doubt, the Human Race on the Shattered Star Sea was long since different from what it used to be.

"I wonder where the Secret Realm World of the Human Race is located?"

Shensuan Daoren asked curiously; he was already impatient to enter this Human Secret Realm and wanted to know what this Human Secret Realm had developed into.

"Naturally, it is within the Mist Sea."

"Moreover, the entrances and exits of the Secret Realm can move constantly."

"Basically, the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm are different every day."

"Apart from us humans, no one knows where the entrance and exit of the Qianmiao Secret Realm are."

"This also protects the safety of our Qianmiao Secret Realm to the greatest extent."

"Even if a Great Vehicle Cultivator arrives here, they won't be able to find the location of our Human Secret Realm World."

Yin Tianxi smiled slightly.

What?!

Hearing this, a stormy sea surged deep within everyone's hearts; one must know that normally, the entrances and exits of a Secret Realm World are fixed, and once an Array Formation is successfully set up, the entrance and exit cannot be changed.

But now, the entrance and exit of this Qianmiao Secret Realm could actually move, which was truly inconceivable.

They also knew that if it were true, then the safety of the Qianmiao Secret Realm would indeed be greatly improved.

After all, when encountering enemies, they would not be blocked at the entrance of the Secret Realm by the enemy, unable to enter or exit.

Once the entrance and exit could move, then even if enemies wanted to find the place to enter the Secret Realm World, they would be unable to do so.

This also greatly improved the safety of the Secret Realm World.

If the Thunder Cloud Secret Realm of the Human Imperial City possessed such characteristics, then there would be no need to worry about enemy sieges at all.

The Human Race of the Canglong Continent would not have ended up in such a state.

"Qianmiao Secret Realm? It seems this Secret Realm World is indeed the place for our Human Race to settle in the Shattered Star Sea."

Shensuan Daoren was very excited.

No wonder the divination he cast was one of great fortune and prosperity, with a worry-free future and immense Luck.

Clearly, after nearly a thousand years of development, the Human Race of the Shattered Star Sea had become unimaginably formidable.

Even the Human Race in its heyday would likely be difficult to compare with it.

His decision to lead a large force to the Shattered Star Sea was indeed correct.

Only by entering the Shattered Star Sea and finding this branch of the Human Race can their safety be guaranteed.

"However, before entering the Qianmiao Secret Realm, you still need a certain degree of verification."

Yin Tianxi looked at the crowd, a cold expression appearing on his face.

"Verification? What kind of verification?"

The crowd looked at Yin Tianxi in confusion, not knowing what the other party meant.

"Because your numbers are too large, and the Qianmiao Secret Realm is a secret place for our Human Race."

"Apart from the Human Race, no one else can enter the Qianmiao Secret Realm."

"To prevent traitors and spies from entering the Qianmiao Secret Realm, we still need to perform verification."

Yin Tianxi said straightforwardly.

"How do you intend to verify?"

Shensuan Daoren asked in a deep voice.

He understood the other party's thinking very well, because there were at least one hundred thousand Human Cultivators on the Flying Boat, and who knew if there were spies planted by other races among them.

Even he could not guarantee this point.

Because the Puppet Race's method of possession is truly too tyrannical; even a Great Vehicle Cultivator cannot discern it.

"Actually, it is very simple; the method is not particularly complicated."

"You just need to look at the pattern on the back of my hand."

Yin Tianxi smiled slightly, and he extended the back of his right hand; suddenly, a strange pattern emerged on the back of his hand, like a black vortex, devouring everything.

What?!

In an instant, Shensuan Daoren and the others could not help but look over, and upon seeing this pattern, they felt as if their Souls were being sucked in.

The next second, they felt in unison a sudden heat on the back of their right hands, producing a needle-like stinging pain, and then the same pattern mark appeared on the back of their hands.

"What is going on?"

Shensuan Daoren and the others were both shocked and angry; for them, the sudden appearance of such a strange mark on the back of their hands was truly too terrifying, it was practically like a Curse.

Moreover, it was silent and soundless, and they had no way to refuse.

"Rest assured, you will be fine."

"What has appeared on the back of your hands is the Nightmare Mark."

"Through the Nightmare Mark, one can enter the Dream World."

"Of course, your Souls will also be scanned by the Dream World immediately."

"If you are truly Human, you will not have any issues."

"But if it is detected that you have been possessed and your Soul has been replaced,"

"Then you will undoubtedly die."

Yin Tianxi said indifferently.

Rumble~~

Before Shensuan Daoren and the others could react, many Cultivators on the Flying Boat immediately let out shrill screams, like slaughtered pigs, echoing throughout the Flying Boat, while bleeding from their seven orifices.

Immediately after, these Cultivators fell to the ground one by one, their eyes wide open.

They seemed to want to say something, but could not say anything at all.

In the blink of an eye, they all died unnatural deaths, their Souls seemingly devoured by the Nightmare, and the life force on their bodies completely vanished.

"What is going on?"

The many Cultivators were shocked and angry; for a moment, they did not know what to say and could only glare at Yin Tianxi and the others. If not for the Body Integration Dao Soldiers suppressing them nearby, they probably would have resisted long ago.

But now that the situation was stronger than the people, they could only swallow their anger.

"Oh, actually one thousand three hundred and fifty-six people died."

"You have been invaded until you are practically like a sieve; there are traitors all around you."

Yin Tianxi raised his eyebrows, looking at the crowd with a half-smile.

"You mean that the Human Cultivators who just died were not truly Human, but creatures possessed by the Puppet Race?" Shensuan Daoren's pupils contracted, and he immediately understood the other party's meaning.

If this were true, then it would indeed be extremely terrifying.

To think that unknowingly, the Human Race had been infiltrated by the Puppet Race to such an extent.

No wonder that over these many years, the Human Race had always been at a disadvantage.

The Puppet Race's method of possession is truly miraculous and beyond imagination.

"That's right, they did not pass the Dream World's inspection."

"I believe you also know that a Human Soul and an Alien Soul are different."

"Even if the Puppet Race has the ability to possess, in essence, they do not belong to the Human Race."

"No matter how much they simulate, there will be subtle differences."

"Such differences cannot be detected by ordinary Cultivators, but they cannot deceive the Dream World."

"Do not think that we want to do you any harm."

"Given our strength, if we really wanted to covet the Treasures on you, we would have killed you all in a single encounter; there is no need to waste so much effort."

Yin Tianxi said indifferently, looking at the crowd.

Hearing this, the crowd fell silent; the other party's words were blunt but reasonable.

After all, the strength of Yin Tianxi and the others was too tyrannical, with over a hundred Body Integration Dao Soldiers and many Body Integration Wild Beasts.

If they really wanted to harm them, they would probably have slaughtered them clean in an instant; there was no need to waste so much effort and time just to deceive them—there was simply no need for that.

But if this were truly the case, the thought that there were so many Puppet Race traitors on the Flying Boat made them shudder and tremble all over.

This was truly too terrifying.

Even if they fled to the Shattered Star Sea, the Puppet Race seemed to have no intention of letting their group go.

"What exactly is this Dream World? Why does it possess such power?"

Shensuan Daoren, however, was very excited.

Because he knew that for the Human Race, this was of great significance; previously, the Human Race had tried every possible method but could not identify the Puppet Race's possessors, and the Human Race had been infiltrated like a sieve.

But now, there was actually a way to identify the Puppet Race's possessors.

This meant that no Alien spy would ever be able to infiltrate the Human Race again.

For the Human Race, this was an unimaginably great benefit.

"This is an Immortal Artifact."

Yin Tianxi said straightforwardly.

What?!

The pupils of Shensuan Daoren and the others constricted; their hearts were stirred with turbulent waves, and they looked at each other.

No wonder they were completely unable to stop the Nightmare Mark; it turned out to be the power of an Immortal Artifact.

If it was the power of an Immortal Artifact, then detecting different Souls was a matter of course.

After all, an Immortal Artifact is exactly that kind of omnipotent Dharma Treasure.

Now they also suddenly understood.

The reason the Human Race in the Shattered Star Sea could develop to this point today was likely closely related to this Immortal Artifact, the Dream World, which was why the Human Race developed so rapidly and mastered so much power.

The problem was, previously, the Human Imperial City had invited disaster upon itself in order to obtain the Immortal Artifact Red Thunder Immortal Ruler.

But now, they had no way to protect it.

Yet the Human Race in the Shattered Star Sea had actually obtained an Immortal Artifact, and it even seemed that no Alien knew about it.

This was truly inconceivable.

"Why tell us these things?"

"Shouldn't the fact that the Human Race possesses an Immortal Artifact be kept secret?"

"You should be very clear about the importance of secrecy."

"If the fact that the Human Race possesses an Immortal Artifact spreads, it will surely bring about a great catastrophe."

"Perhaps even the True Spirit Race will come to kill; the Human Imperial City is a cautionary tale."

Shensuan Daoren said gloomily.

If the news of the Human Race obtaining the Red Thunder Immortal Ruler had been kept secret and no one had known, the Human Race on the Canglong Continent would not have met such an end, nor would they have been besieged by other races.

"Rest assured, this matter will not be leaked."

"First, our Human Race resides within the Qianmiao Secret Realm and has no contact with other races at all."

"Secondly, once you have the Nightmare Mark on your hand, it means you have signed a Soul contract with the Dream World."

"No one can leak news of the Dream World to outsiders; otherwise, they will surely die and their Soul will dissipate."

"Only now that you have also signed the contract and have the Nightmare Mark can I leak news of the Dream World."

"Otherwise, I would not be able to say a single word."

Yin Tianxi explained.

Signed a Soul contract?

Not allowed to leak the Dream World to anyone, nor news of the Human Race?!

Hearing this, the pupils of Shensuan Daoren and the others constricted; they felt the Nightmare Mark suddenly grow hot, and a message was transmitted, upon which a whole list of forbidden clauses was written.

Among them was the prohibition against leaking news of the Dream World to outsiders.

Even much of the content could only be discussed within the Dream World and was not allowed to be discussed outside.

"Moreover, the power of the Dream World is not just that."

"It also possesses the power to modify and conceal memories."

"When we leave the range of the Mist Sea, memories regarding the Qianmiao Secret Realm and some top-secret intelligence of the Human Race will be automatically forgotten or ignored by us."

"Only after returning to the Mist Sea will these memories be restored again."

"Even if your level is not high enough, even if you have heard some top-secret intelligence, this intelligence will quickly disappear from your memory."

Yin Tianxi said calmly, looking at the crowd, describing the various abilities of the Dream World.

"This is too exaggerated."

"It's just as if we are controlled by the Dream World, with no freedom at all."

Someone was immediately very dissatisfied.

At the same time, their hair stood on end and they trembled uncontrollably; this kind of power from an Immortal Artifact, capable of modifying memories and causing them to be forgotten at will, was truly like the ability of an Immortal, which was inconceivable.

One could only say that the power of an Immortal Artifact was truly beyond imagination.

No wonder even the True Spirit Race was incomparably eager to obtain it, incomparably greedy.
