"You, how do you have a key? No, you shouldn't have a master key!" The man's emotions were so turbulent that the projection almost couldn't stay stable. It took him a while to control his divine power and prevent the projection from dissipating.
"So this is a master key." An Ge realized, finally knowing the name of the key.
But how did she get this reverse key?
An Ge stared at the key for a while, then suddenly remembered that she seemed to have received a key as a reward during the second inn upgrade. At the time, she was completely immersed in the joy of the inn upgrade and hadn't paid much attention to this inconspicuous key.
Unexpectedly, this is a master key that can open a treasure box with divine power.
Seeing the surprised expression on the young man's face, An Ge said with a hint of malice, "I got it when I upgraded my godhood."
Sure enough, when the man heard that An Ge could unlock such a powerful key just by upgrading her godhood, he became even more depressed. "After you become a god, you must never run into me."
He was afraid that he might accidentally attack this newly ascended deity, and if he got lucky, that would be the worst thing ever.
An Ge smiled, not taking the man's seemingly joking threat to heart. She had come to realize that gods were not omnipotent; whether now or after becoming a god in the future, no deity could easily do anything to her.
"Alright, my mission is complete. Now that you have obtained divine power, the energy I left in this space will also disappear. Little one, no matter what, you have obtained my divine power, which can be considered as receiving my favor. If you see me again in the future, remember this. My name is Chu Ran."
As Chu Ran finished speaking, his figure gradually blurred until he disappeared.
The moment Chu Ran's figure disappeared, the pressure weighing on An Ge's heart immediately dissipated. An Ge breathed a sigh of relief, remaining noncommittal about Chu Ran's last words.
An Ge didn't believe that receiving Chu Ran's divine power meant he owed him something. First, he obtained the power through his own efforts. Second, judging from Chu Ran's behavior, the power wasn't something he willingly left behind; if anyone should be grateful, it should be to Heaven.
Moreover, at the last moment, she was tricked by Chu Ran.
If she sees Chu Ran in the future and he has no ill intentions, she can accept his kindness and show him some courtesy. But if he has ill intentions towards her, she will not sit idly by and wait for her fate.
In short, it's impossible to morally blackmail An Ge.
An Ge opened the box and saw a pure white bead lying quietly inside. Before she could examine it closely, the bead seemed to be summoned and instantly entered her mind.
Because she had prepared in advance, An Ge did not use her divine sense to resist. A moment later, the bead floated in her divine sense. The instant the bead entered her sea of consciousness, An Ge felt a connection between herself and the secret realm.
At the same time, his strength, which was originally at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, jumped to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm, truly making advancement in cultivation as easy as drinking water.
"Master, I'm about to fuse with the Divine Pearl and fall into a deep sleep. Please be careful on the road ahead," Xiao Qi's excited voice came.
"Don't worry, just focus on the integration and wait for your transformation."
An Ge put the treasure box into her spatial storage. This box contained divine power; it was definitely a valuable item and couldn't be wasted. She closed her eyes and sensed its power for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up. "Found it!"
After fusing with the divine pearl, she could control this secret realm at will, as well as the levels set up within it.
It must be said that Chu Ran is a god with many ideas. He used the rules to set up many illusions in the secret realm. The scenarios in these illusions were extremely diverse, including natural disasters, battles, and even scenarios similar to Werewolf. Each victory would result in a corresponding reward.
Seeing everyone struggling in the obstacle course, An Ge immediately disrupted the rules. This was partly to rescue them, and partly to protect the treasure.
You should know that this secret realm now belongs to her, and every reward issued comes out of her own pocket.
Although Ange was not short of treasures, he was not so generous as to be a spendthrift.
The origins of these treasures are varied: some were formed naturally, some were left behind by predecessors who came to train here, and some were placed there by Chu Ran. Their specific origins are no longer traceable, but they all belong to her now.
Looking at the list of treasures obtained, An Ge once again marveled at Lie Yan, who truly lived up to his reputation as the chosen one, as the treasures he obtained were far ahead of others.
The moment An Ge severed the rules of the secret realm, everyone who was trying to break through the barrier immediately came to their senses.
Lieyan was playing a game of "Who is the Spy" when he was about to point out the spy. Suddenly, he felt the ground shake and the scene in front of him disappeared. He found himself in the forest where he had gotten lost.
"What happened?" Lie Yan asked regretfully. He was so close to obtaining that seventh-grade snow lotus!
"Junior Brother Lie, have you seen Junior Sister An?" Xie Ying led the Tianyan Sect members over, all looking disheveled.
Lie Yan shook his head. "I believe Junior Sister An will be alright."
"I also think this secret realm is too terrifying." Xie Ying experienced extremely terrible natural disasters such as floods, droughts, and strong winds in just a few days. If it weren't for the treasures in her space, she would have almost failed to get through.
After exchanging ideas, the group discovered that not everyone had encountered the same situation.
All the major sects suffered some casualties, but the Tianyan Sect fared relatively well; at least everyone survived. Several fellow disciples were remarking how fortunate they were that the illusion was broken in time for some unknown reason, otherwise many of them might not have made it through.
Lie Yan distributed the pills to everyone, no longer regretting the rewards he had lost, but instead feeling fortunate that the illusion had been broken ahead of schedule.
After a while, Xie Ying became a little anxious, "Why hasn't Junior Sister An arrived yet?"
An Ge's importance to the sect is self-evident. On the one hand, she is a rare genius, and more importantly, An Ge has been accepted by her and is her friend.
After the other sects finished tallying their casualties, they were filled with mixed feelings upon seeing that An Ge had not yet appeared. To be honest, if An Ge had perished in the secret realm, it would have been a good thing for their sects.
It would be a real shame if such a brilliant person were to pass away.
This secret realm is too strange. Even if you are strong in combat, you cannot easily get out if you encounter a mental challenge.
An Ge's demise can't really be blamed on them. But the thought of the unreasonable Lingxiao Zhenjun makes them worry that their sect might be implicated.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Just as I was thinking this, I heard An Ge's cheerful voice.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing An Ge completely unharmed and without even a trace of dishevelment, but then felt somewhat annoyed.
What are they so worried about? They're doing just fine, and they might even have gotten more treasures than they have.
The world of geniuses is indeed beyond their comprehension!
"I'm so glad you're alright." Xie Ying looked An Ge over and, seeing that she wasn't hurt at all, finally felt relieved.
