Chapter 343: The Secret Master Tribe

The first one Li Yu peeked at was the most enthusiastic one who arrived the fastest to take over his fishing rod.

The race was not human, which was very normal.

There wasn't a single human among the anglers here.

But when a giant octopus was reflected in his eyes, it was still worth being surprised.

Fortunately, he was in a state of absolute rationality, otherwise, his eyes and face would likely have shown a rude expression like "you should be fished in the sea instead of fishing here."

This was shockingly a giant octopus whose whole body flashed with psychedelic light and was full of mysterious runes and halos; inside its pair of big eyeballs was a kind of primitive innocence completely unbound by any rules of good or evil, as well as intense and enthusiastic curiosity.

Its telepathic transmission was also the one with the least malice among the crowd of anglers.

They were all things like "Hold on, don't let go," "This fish is so big," "You are so lucky," "The eyeballs of the Thousand-Eyed Whale are a delicacy of the Spirit Realm," and so on.

It could even be said that it was very polite.

When Li Yu turned his head to look and was immediately blinded by the pollution impact, it actually let out a scream, and then transformed on the spot into a young Daoist priest wearing a blue-ringed Daoist robe, with a psychedelic halo hanging behind his head, smiling.

Seeing this, Li Yu was amazed while also sensing the other party's extremely high life level.

If he had to make a comparison, it was roughly similar to his Sister Yi Ge.

Demigod level?

He didn't wonder for a second; the next moment, he asked for knowledge, and because the two sides actually had contact, a large amount of transcendent information emerged:

"In the Boundless Spirit Realm, there exist many incomparably powerful races, comparable to divine entities, or they themselves are divine entities."

"The Secret Master tribe is exactly this kind of special existence."

"They entered the Boundless Spirit Realm from beyond the heavens tens of millions of years ago and quickly made a great name for themselves."

"Any individual within their tribe is at worst a demigod-level existence, and the more powerful individuals among them are simply at the level of lesser gods."

"No one knows how many members are in their tribe, only that every individual among them possesses different divine powers."

"They have different temperaments and swaying factions, but generally lean towards neutrality."

"They seem to possess a communication method within their tribe that is not restricted by anything; once one individual is provoked, it is possible to bring about the revenge of the entire tribe."

"And the Secret Master tribe possesses two major racial talents: resurrection and aggregation."

"The former allows every individual to mysteriously resurrect after death."

"The latter refers to the fact that after the number of individuals of this race gathered in one place reaches a certain limit, they can perform collective aggregation, transforming into a more powerful existence, such as a strong divine entity."

"The Secret Master tribe is now considered the most untouchable race in the Boundless Spirit Realm."

"Its threat level is already above races like the 【Universe Demon tribe】 and the 【Demon Dog tribe】."

"This young individual before me has a kind temperament and is full of enthusiasm and curiosity about all living things; its true size is several times larger than that Thousand-Eyed Whale, and it carries radiation pollution that can instantly cause all creatures below sequence three to fall into madness."

"In order not to cause harm to me, it has restrained its aura and transformed into a human appearance, taking a Daoist name: 【Blue Ring Daoist】."

"Its strength, converted, is equivalent to the demigod level."

"The divine powers it possesses are 'poison,' 'void,' 'water,' etc."

Although Li Yu had long known that every existence capable of fishing in the Mist Sea was not a pushover.

Previously, he had already seen demigod-level and legendary-level existences like the Great Shark Father, Star Hunter, and Snake Priest.

But the surprise and shock brought to Li Yu by these anglers were far less than this Blue Ring Daoist before him.

Out of greed and rational psychology, he suppressed other thoughts and continued to look at the anglers standing behind.

A ghost covered in corpse aura!

A semi-transparent strange object hanging in mid-air!

A purple vortex-shaped creature!

Although there was no contact, he still peeked out a lot of information one by one:

"Tomb Ghost Priest!"

"A priest from the 【Tomb Ghost tribe】; this race is also known as the Ghoul tribe and has a poor reputation in the Boundless Spirit Realm because they are addicted to stealing various corpses and performing all kinds of blasphemous acts, including but not limited to eating and..."

"Their tribe cannot reproduce offspring on their own, so the reproductive method they choose is to convert other races, bestowing power and cultivation methods in the process, so many weak races choose to rely on them or simply worship them."

"Some humans in the world have therefore obtained corpse-controlling and corpse-refining techniques from them, using them to survive in dangerous environments."

"The Tomb Ghost tribe itself worships more than one divine entity, including both righteous and evil ones."

"For example, part of them worships the evil god behind the Illusory Dream Sect, and another part worships the Earth Mother."

"This priest belongs to the faction that worships the evil god and possesses legendary-level strength; it retains the fishing habit from its lifetime, forming an obsessive bad habit, and often sneaks to the Mist Sea."

……

"Void Corroder!"

"A powerful individual from the 【Void Corroder tribe】, a legendary-level existence; this race possesses powerful attack-type talents and the innate talent of corroding time and space."

"This race is a mortal enemy of the Universe Demon tribe."

"If I take out the Universe Demon Compass and indicate that I have killed a Universe Demon, my relationship with it can immediately be upgraded to friendly."

"There is even a chance to obtain certain benefits."

"This race, similar to the Universe Demon tribe, is a godless creature."

……

"Annihilator!"

"A powerful individual from the 【Annihilator tribe】, legendary level; this race possesses the talent to annihilate matter and souls, as well as the innate divine ability to traverse multiple universes and dimensions."

"Because of the above characteristics, this race is a good tool known to all gods."

"Many gods in the Boundless Spirit Realm have the habit of capturing 'Annihilators' as their servants."

"The Master of Ten Thousand Changes is a typical example."

"Their excessive capture of the Annihilator tribe has caused this race to develop malice towards all followers of Ten Thousand Changes, and their faction is hostile."

"If I indicate my hatred with the Master of Ten Thousand Changes, or recount my experience of snatching the Chaos Box from the hands of the Ten Thousand Changes divine chosen, there is a certain chance to sign a contract with it, pay some price, and drive it to traverse cosmic dimensions to deliver letters for me, or do some other dirty work."

"If I recount my record of playing with the Master of Ten Thousand Changes, it can make it actively pay the price and be driven by me."

"It's just that doing so would likely expose myself, which is not worth the loss."

……

As these secrets emerged, the charging progress on Li Yu's eye membrane was also slowly advancing.

Li Yu himself, meanwhile, had his knowledge greatly expanded again.

He had long known that the Boundless Spirit Realm was all-encompassing and incomparably dangerous, but also existed with many mysterious, magnificent, and incredible existences.

Now this impression was being deepened.

Three anglers!

Each represented an incomparably powerful race.

It must be said, from the description.

Any one of these three races could be called heaven-defying.

Not only could humans not compare to them in the slightest, but even the three Demon Boat tribes were weak compared to them.

The giant trolls, ratmen, and other races behind those distinguished guests on the Pioneer were also far behind.

However, in the information peeked, it was also revealed why their races were so powerful but failed to dominate the Boundless Spirit Realm.

Even before this, Li Yu had never heard of them.

One is that the number of members in their races cannot be compared with other races; not to mention humans, ratmen, and greenskins, which are extremely capable of reproduction, even the number of Ancient Spirit races is greater than theirs.

Second is that the worlds are different; these mysterious and strange races all come from the 【Void World】.

The current world's position in the Boundless Spirit Realm is closest to the Chaos World, and it can even be said to be inside the Chaos World.

"The three tribes are all very strong."

"But it seems that combined, they are not as good as the 【Secret Master tribe】."

"This race is the true number one pervert."

Li Yu had no thoughts of fishing or giant objects at all right now.

His mind was full of peeking at secrets.

After glancing at the backgrounds of the three anglers standing behind watching enthusiastically and helping to control the fish, he didn't fall for the temptation, turned his head directly, and went deeper to peek at the Secret Master tribe.

Now in his eyes!

The combined attraction of the three tribes was not as good as the Secret Master tribe.

The secrets peeked from within the "Blue Ring Daoist" behind him could indeed make the Truth Bubble progress skyrocket, which was enough to show how rare and perverted this race was.

Relying on the contact between the two sides, more incredible transcendent secrets emerged one after another:

"The Secret Master tribe only needs more than three individuals... to aggregate into a lesser god?"

"When reaching ten individuals... they can confront some true gods with no small reputation."

"When the number exceeds fifty... comparable to a strong divine entity?"

"The total number of individuals in this race is currently unknown!"

"Currently known number: close to one hundred."

"There is a rumor that if all the 【Secret Masters】 aggregate together, they can instantly ascend to an incomparably high divine level, at least able to enter the top few of the Boundless Spirit Realm gods, or even be the strongest."

"But the Secret Master tribe seems to carry a certain 'innate curse,' forever unable to let all member individuals gather in one place."

"There are two known records of multi-member aggregation, which are thirty-six and fifty-one respectively."

"The first occurred millions of years ago, when an interstellar war involving multiple races broke out in a certain star field of the Chaos World, and for some reason, it attracted a large number of Secret Masters."

"In the end, a total of thirty-six Secret Masters merged into a divine entity in cheers, treating the entire battlefield as a toy and playing with it for a full hundred years."

"Afterward, all races in that star field chose to unite and regarded the 【Secret Master tribe】 as a mortal enemy; although they failed to achieve any form of revenge for thousands of years thereafter, that star field thus gained ten thousand years of peace."

"The second occurred in the 【Void Universe】, and the victim was the 【Ming God】."

"The divine exterior of the Ming God is somewhat similar to the Secret Master tribe, which made the Ming God interested in the Secret Masters."

"They guessed that the Secret Master tribe might have a deep origin with themselves, and if they could devour them, there was a chance to ascend to a higher level."

"Therefore, the Ming God captured as many Secret Masters as possible; initially, it went very smoothly, although every Secret Master member was very powerful, they were not opponents of the Ming God, who could be listed in the 'strong divine entity' camp."

"It's just that as it developed later, I don't know what went wrong; the Ming God didn't need to capture them anymore, and a large number of Secret Master individuals actively rushed over from other universes and dimensions."

"When the number reached the figure of 'fifty-one,' they performed aggregation and ascension, instantly reaching the level of the Ming God."

"Two entities broke out into war."

"Final result: the Secret Masters split again, scattered across multiple universes, while the Ming God's divine kingdom was beaten to disintegration, and the main body was miserably sealed, unable to escape to this day."

"This individual, who calls themselves 【Blue Ring Daoist】, did not participate in that war, but it is a new individual split out after that war, so it retains a part of the relevant secrets."

"For example, about the Ming God!"

"Those fifty-one Secret Masters formed a consensus: although the exterior is somewhat similar, the Ming God's octopus head is too ugly, while the Secret Master tribe combines mystery, magnificence, and greatness, so the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath."

"Hmm, after defeating and imprisoning the other party, they still despise them for being ugly."

……

Undoubtedly, the level of these secrets was not low, the Truth Bubble rainbow flickered, clearly having eaten its fill.

And Li Yu himself was also very happy.

He wanted to kowtow to the Toad God again.

Regardless of whether the luck halo was working, he was having good things happen one after another.

Simply eye-opening!

A big secret: why was the Ming God sealed and imprisoned?

It was inadvertently known to Li Yu.

However, knowing this secret didn't bring much joy; what truly excited him was the information about the Secret Masters, which was simply incredible.

Even Li Yu in a rational state felt an impulse at this moment to enter the Boundless Spirit Realm as soon as possible to see these magical things.

Fortunately, rationality allowed him to suppress the impulse and continue to focus on digging for secrets.

Thanks to the fact that the "Blue Ring Daoist" was a kind-hearted individual.

In order not to accidentally kill Li Yu, it deliberately restrained all radiation pollution.

This naturally made it convenient for him!

But it was a pity that Li Yu suddenly realized: the time limit was almost up.

Although he tried his best to squeeze the bubble and ask for knowledge from the most tricky angles, he still couldn't finish reading everything:

"Although all member individuals of the Secret Master tribe are completely different in all aspects."

"But they share faction friendship, meaning that one only needs to gain the friendship of one Secret Master to gain the favor of all Secret Masters."

"It's just that this is very difficult, and it's not necessarily a good thing."

"The reason lies in the fact that the 'Secret Master tribe,' besides the innate curse, also carries a certain innate mission."

"This mission is tainted with great karma and trouble, enough to cause more than one strong divine entity to fall."

"Improving the faction relationship with the Secret Master tribe to friendly will automatically be tainted with this karma."

"Because of this, although the Secret Master tribe has many kind and gentle members, they will not easily become friends with other creatures."

"Various signs indicate: the predecessor of the Secret Master tribe might be an extremely ancient and powerful innate god, who, out of seeking the Dao or other unknown reasons, actively performed self-splitting."

"The name of this innate god is...?"
