Three days later, Hogg handed the equipment over to Ango.
It was an antique-looking ring with mysterious patterns upon closer inspection. An Ge put on the ring and adjusted her strength to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Instantly, An Ge felt her spiritual energy being blocked, as if it were being suppressed by something.
Only then did she realize that the ring Hogg forged was not meant to create an illusion of strength for others, but rather to genuinely suppress their strength to the corresponding level.
That's fine, at least it won't be seen through by people of higher rank.
Ange opened the management interface, preparing to enter the Boundless Space.
"Based on the host's strength, entering the Boundless Space requires 100,000 points and 10,000 reputation points. Do you wish to enter?"
"It really works?" An Ge asked in surprise. She had only intended to try it out, but she never expected that she could actually exploit a system vulnerability.
An Ge thought that this was probably because the mysterious power behind the godhood judged things according to a fixed procedure, which was not flexible enough in some matters, thus giving her an opportunity to take advantage.
Just like He Yanran's previous mission, she didn't follow the mission instructions, but instead gained unexpected benefits.
Since returning from Tianyao City, An Ge hasn't been to Tianxuan Continent for a while. This is a good opportunity to visit her master.
"Enter!"
An idea flashed through An Ge's mind, and when she opened her eyes again, she was at her residence on Tianwu Peak.
She took a deep breath. She had to admit that the spiritual energy in the Tianxuan Continent was abundant. In particular, the higher one's cultivation level, the greater one's sensitivity to spiritual energy, and the more one could feel the difference here.
An Ge removed the ring's disguise and adjusted her strength to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
She doesn't like to play dumb to fool others. If she can live a comfortable life with her own strength, why would she do something that would embarrass her?
After she achieved Foundation Establishment last time, those who had previously been critical of her joining the Lingxiao True Monarch's sect immediately changed their tune. It has to be said that this saved An Ge a lot of trouble.
Her current cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Lowering it by one level is to keep a trump card for herself and to make herself less conspicuous.
An Ge was unaware that going from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core in less than a year was already an extremely abnormal feat.
After entering the sect, An Ge hadn't had a proper chance to explore the Tianyan Sect. She glanced at the direction where her master was in seclusion and prepared to visit the various peaks.
It seems the elders of Danfeng have always wanted her to study at Danfeng.
Just as I was about to head to Danfeng, I saw my senior uncle, the sect leader, appear at Tianwu Peak.
"Uh, Senior Uncle, your residence isn't close to Tianwu Peak, is it? I've only been here a short time, how did you know?"
Xun Kuang glanced at An Ge with annoyance, "Do you think the sect's grand formation is just for show? I can detect anyone who enters the Tianyan Sect, let alone appear directly on Tianwu Peak. I can't believe it's anyone but you."
Novels have ruined me!
"Hehe, my senior uncle is indeed incredibly powerful!"
"Stop joking around, how come you're just like your master?" Xun Kuang thought the two were indeed a match made in heaven, and was about to say something when he saw An Ge's strength.
"You, you've actually reached the Golden Core stage?" Even the well-informed Xun Kuang was so shocked by An Ge that he almost lost his voice and began to doubt himself.
Are the Chosen Ones really that powerful? He originally thought that Yu Xinghe, another suspected Chosen One, was already quite powerful, having reached the late Foundation Establishment stage in just a few months.
Seeing An Ge's cultivation level, he became somewhat unsure of Yu Xinghe's identity.
It's important to know that the plane An Ge lives in isn't suitable for cultivation. According to her junior brother, if she hadn't accidentally stumbled into the cultivation world, An Ge wouldn't have any cultivation level yet.
An Ge proudly raised her little face, "Uncle-Master, aren't I amazing?"
Xun Kuang nodded with a complicated expression. It wasn't just powerful; it was simply frightening.
"I originally wanted to tell you about the secret realm, but it seems there's no need now. Your cultivation level has already exceeded the capacity of the secret realm, what a pity."
An Ge asked in surprise, "What secret realm? Why is there a cultivation level restriction?"
"That's perfectly normal! Every secret realm has a maximum cultivation level limit. Otherwise, once a secret realm appears, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock if you let those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage compete with those who have reached the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage."
This secret realm has just appeared, and everyone is saying it might hold the secret to ascension. Unfortunately, the realm can only withstand power below the Golden Core stage, and now that you've reached that stage, we have no choice but to abandon this plan.
An Ge wasn't particularly interested in the secrets of ascension within the secret realm, but what did the secret realm represent? Treasure! Now that she possessed the Eye of Exploration, it would be a shame not to explore the secret realm and plunder it.
“That’s easy. Below the Golden Core stage, right? I meet the requirements now.” An Ge said as he turned his ring to adjust his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
Luckily, I had Hogg make this ring, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money.
Xun Kuang was so surprised by the Foundation Establishment level power emanating from An Ge that he almost lost his composure. "What is your cultivation level now?"
"Mid-stage Golden Core."
Xun Kuang felt he shouldn't have asked; it was truly hurtful. He'd been frightened by his junior brother when he was young, and now he was being frightened by his junior brother's apprentice—the master and apprentice duo just loved scaring people.
"I didn't expect you to have something that conceals its power. There are also such divine objects in the Tianxuan Continent, but in the eyes of those with high cultivation, these are just minor tricks. Yours is quite amazing; I didn't even notice anything unusual about it."
An Ge was also somewhat surprised, "Perhaps this ring is suppressing my strength, which is why you can't see it."
Xun Kuang sighed upon hearing the explanation, "I never imagined there would be such a wondrous object. If I had the chance, I would also like to experience different dimensions. With this ring, you might be able to enter the secret realm."
Xun Kuang originally didn't have much desire to ascend to immortality; he only wanted to protect the sect. However, after hearing An Ge's words, he became interested.
With this chosen one as his junior disciple, he is not without hope of ascension. Why not hand over the sect's affairs to his own disciple?
The sect leader's chief disciple, who was practicing swordsmanship, was unaware that heavy sect tasks would soon be weighing on his shoulders.
"By the way, you don't have your own natal weapon yet, right? I should have taken you to the Sword Tomb after you reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but due to your special circumstances, we haven't had the chance. Now that there are still half a month before the secret realm opens, you can go and choose a suitable weapon."
An Ge asked excitedly, "I heard that the sect's sword tomb is one of the most mysterious places in the entire Tianxuan Continent, and there are ancient divine swords inside!"
Xun Kuang laughed heartily, his tone filled with undisguised pride, "Our Tianyan Sect is the number one sect in the Tianxuan Continent. How can we be the leader without some foundation? We do have the divine sword, but it depends on whether you have the opportunity to obtain it. Remember, when choosing a weapon, you should follow your heart. Only what suits you is the most powerful. Do not lose sight of the bigger picture because of greed."
Thinking back on everything, Xun Kuang admonished, "Do you still remember Yu Xinghe?"
An Ge immediately pictured someone being fawned over by all the disciples, wondering why her senior uncle would bring him up.
