Main Quest: Secret Trial

Secret Realm Trial: Congratulations to the host for achieving the status of Yang God and entering the ranks of the upper-level cultivators in this world. You can exchange and learn from the top geniuses of various sects to prove yourself. Ordinary arenas are no longer enough for Yang God masters to fight, so you should enter the Secret Realm Trial to defeat all powerful enemies.

Mission requirements: Enter the Fangcun Secret Realm, defeat no less than five God-Refining Realm prodigies in the Secret Realm Trial, and win the final victory in the Secret Realm Trial. (No less than ten families must enter the Secret Realm to compete for the Didongtian Blessed Land, and at least three Dongtian Holy Lands must be involved.)

Mission Reward: Humane Luck

Shen Yuan looked at the interface that popped up in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.

Ever since Shen Yuan last completed the main mission of the sect competition on the banks of the Ji River in Cangzhou, he has never activated the main mission. He only activated a side mission once during the trial of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower ten thousand years ago, which has always made Shen Yuan quite regretful.

Shen Yuan personally experienced the main mission several times, and gained a lot of benefits from it.

The identity of the founder of Luoyun Sect, the enlightenment array that transformed into Starry Sky Bodhi, and the Tianyuan Secret Order are all rewards for exceeding the main task.

Even after being promoted to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, the main quest was not triggered. This made Shen Yuan think that the main quest had been completely completed after the sect competition.

However, he never expected that after the Yin God transformed and became the Yang God, the next main task would be activated again.

Standing up from the cushion and walking out of the training room, Shen Yuan sat in front of the stone table and quietly watched the detailed introduction of the main task.

“This main quest states that this quest will be activated after I achieve Yang Shen.

The vast majority of practitioners are unable to achieve Yang God at the Transformation Realm, which means that this main quest normally requires at least the strength of the Refining God Realm."

A strange look flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes.

The realm of the True Man of Refining the Spirit is nothing. Shen Yuan can use the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi to fight against the True Man of Refining the Spirit when he is in the realm of Refining the Qi.

Now that he has reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation and completed the transformation into the Yin Spirit, he has made great progress in his magical powers. Naturally, killing the True Man of the Spirit Refining is a piece of cake for him.

However, the requirement for strength is the simplest part of the main mission.

The real core difficulty lies in the word "secret realm" in the secret realm trial!

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips and rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

"Why do these tasks always give me things that have long disappeared?

First there was the Spirit Pond in the Novice Orientation, the Sutra Library for cultivating the Hundred Arts of Immortals, then there was the Martial Arts Competition for the Sect Competition, and now there is the Fang Cun Secret Realm for Secret Realm Trials. "

In the initial novice guidance mission, Shen Yuan needed the help of a spirit pool to complete a breakthrough, but the Luoyun Sect’s spirit pool had been destroyed long ago, so Shen Yuan could only use a natural spirit pool to make up the number.

The Sutra Library needed in the main storyline of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, the Sutra Library of Luoyun Sect had been destroyed ten thousand years ago. Shen Yuan relied on downloading files from the forum and made an electronic Sutra Library on his computer to fool people.

The main storyline of the sect competition requires participating in the Luoyun Sect's sect competition. However, the Luoyun Sect had been destroyed long ago, and there is no history of holding sect competitions anymore. Shen Yuan participated in the Dao Discussion Conference and took advantage of this meeting of various sects. He took over the competition and turned it into a martial arts performance by various sects to barely fool people.

Even though he was already used to the nature of the artificial intelligence system and vaguely guessed that there would be some problems in the main mission, when he saw the words "Fang Cun Secret Realm" on it, Shen Yuan still couldn't help but feel a headache.

"You can steal someone else's Spirit Pond, use the electronic version of the Sutra Library, and borrow someone else's during the sect competition, but where can I get this secret realm?"

The Fang Cun Secret Realm of Luoyun Sect was completely destroyed by divine punishment tens of thousands of years ago, and along with it disappeared the records and related history of Luoyun Sect.

In fact, if it were just this, it would be fine. Shen Yuan could just follow the approach of the previous main missions and find a secret realm to occupy.

But the problem is that the Xuanhuang Realm is connected to heaven and earth for thousands of years. After being washed by several spiritual energy tides, even the blessed land may not be able to survive for thousands of years, let alone the secret realm, which is a space of a lower level than the blessed land.

Nowadays, all the secret realms in the Xuanhuang Realm from ten thousand years ago have been destroyed. The remaining incomplete secret realms are also the result of the evolution of various rules during the last spiritual energy tide.

These incomplete secret realms may be able to last for decades without the influence of external forces, but once external forces intervene, they will collapse rapidly, enough to bury the creatures in the secret realms.

The same was true of the incomplete secret realm that the demon clan had explored before.

Such an incomplete secret realm cannot support any secret realm trial at all, so even if Shen Yuan wanted to occupy the nest and create a fake Fangcun secret realm, he would have no way to do it.

Shen Yuan, who was sitting in front of the stone table, shook his head in distress.

The main tasks of the artificial intelligence system have almost nothing to do with strength, but it can accurately identify Shen Yuan's difficulties due to the changes in time over thousands of years.

"Could it be that the loss I suffered in the main mission was the price I paid for gaining in the hidden mission?"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind.

After taking a regretful look at the main quest, Shen Yuan could only put the quest aside for the time being.

“The only thing to be thankful for is that this main mission does not involve any techniques that would cause difficulties in subsequent promotions.

Even if it gets stuck, it will only mean that you won't be able to get the Humanity Luck in the mission reward, so it won't have much of an impact."

This is a blessing in disguise.

Without the Fang Cun Secret Realm, this main quest would not even be qualified to be carried out. Before resolving the trouble in the secret realm, Shen Yuan was not prepared to spend more time on these things.

However, Shen Yuan felt a little regretful about the rewards for the main quest.

The luck of humanity means nothing to Shen Yuan. The Emperor of Fengdu stabilizes the order of yin and yang, and he has his own luck of incense and humanity.

What Shen Yuan was really curious about was, if this main task could be completed in excess, to what level would the reward for humanity's destiny increase?

Is it more humanitarian luck? Or will there be other changes?

Shen Yuan thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and temporarily put aside the speculation in his mind.

Withdrawing his attention from the main task, Shen Yuan began to observe his own condition after completing the breakthrough.

These three months of training were actually not enough for Shen Yuan to make the leap from the early stage of the Spirit Transformation to the peak of the Spirit Transformation.

What really allowed Shen Yuan to reach a new level in one step was that Shen Yuan had completed the cleansing of the Yin God and condensed the Yang God. The promotion of the Yang God led to the improvement of his cultivation.

Even if it weren't for the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, Shen Yuan could have used the transformation of his Yin God to directly step into the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void, and become a true spirit cultivator who was capable of ruling a place and establishing a sect.

Just as he was thinking this, Shen Yuanyang's spirit suddenly sensed something and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky.

I saw that in the sky outside the secret courtyard, the sun that was originally high in the sky was slowly hiding its brilliance, and a cold full moon appeared silently between heaven and earth.

The alternation of the sun and the moon took place under the clear sky in broad daylight. It was noon at this time, and tens of millions of people in the entire Yunzhou looked up at the sky in horror.

Even though Yunzhou has experienced several strange changes in the world in the more than a year since the return of the spiritual energy tide, it is still difficult to hide the uneasiness and fear in the face of the power of heaven and earth.

The people looked at the full moon, with all kinds of confused thoughts in their hearts, and the instinctive fear of living beings made them feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded among the crowd.

"That moon looks like a mirror!"

As soon as the childish words full of innocence came out, someone subconsciously mocked:

"The moon is the moon, how is it possible?"

Before he finished speaking, someone's eyes widened.

The full moon that shed its cold moonlight had actually turned into a huge mirror, reflecting everything in the moonlight. On the land of Yunzhou, the old cultivator seemed to have thought of something and suddenly cried out in surprise.

"This is not a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth, this is the magical power of taking the moon!"

The twenty-seventh of the Earthly Demonic Powers is the Moon-Taking Power. It is not only a magical power that points directly to the Taiyin Avenue, but also the source of the world's round light technique.

The Moon-Catching Divine Power has nothing special about it in terms of killing, but all circular light techniques are evolved from the Moon-Catching Divine Power. Everything within the reach of the moonlight can be seen by the master of this divine power, and it almost has the ability to monitor the heaven and earth.

The appearance of such a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth means that another magical power of the earthly evil has returned.

The Yunzhou Imperial Astronomical Observatory's envoy looked at the strange phenomenon solemnly, picked up his pen to record it in the book, and couldn't help muttering to himself:

"It's only been a little over a year since the spiritual energy tide returned. How many earthly evil powers have been born?

Moreover, this time the phenomenon of taking the moon appeared in Yunzhou. Could it be that the news about the Supreme Taoist being spread in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is true?"

As the turmoil in the underworld was suppressed, the Emperor of Fengdu appeared in the eyes of the world, and many pieces of information that had been suppressed by the court in the past were gradually released, naturally including the news about the Supreme Taoist.

In the past, the imperial court tried its best to suppress information about the Supreme Taoist because it was afraid that his existence would affect the situation in Daxia.

But now with the Emperor of Fengdu in front of us, as long as we can maintain a stable relationship with the Emperor of Fengdu in the underworld, blocking the information about the Supreme Taoist becomes less important.

"If the Supreme Daoist is hiding in Yunzhou, then will the matter that the imperial court has been working so hard to plan in recent months involve that Daoist?"

The Yunzhou envoy was in a state of confusion, and many blessed places in Daxia also sensed the return of the moon-taking magic power.

In view of the changes in the situation in recent months, the various practicing forces in the blessed land looked at the Moon-Taking Divine Ability with some strange eyes.

The magical power and vision gradually disappeared, and the door of the attic on the side of the secret courtyard was suddenly opened, and Gong Buyu, wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress, walked out slowly from the attic.

At this moment, the full moon in the sky has disappeared, but behind Gong Buyu, a full moon shadow appears, bathed in the cold moonlight, like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to the earth.

At this moment, Gong Buyu's realm had unexpectedly entered the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.

In fact, considering that Gong Buyu had accumulated the talent of Yin God when he was in the Qi training stage, he would definitely have advanced to more than one small realm in three months.

However, during these three months of seclusion, Gong Buyu spent most of the time comprehending the "Taiyin Yuehuashu".

Although the power to catch the moon has no owner, as long as one comprehends the "Taiyin Yuehuashu", it is possible to obtain the power to catch the moon.

However, the method of cultivating the Earthly Demonic Power is not an ordinary method. Even if Gong Buyu has extraordinary talent, it still takes a long time to comprehend it.

It was only just now that Gong Buyu comprehended the "Taiyin Yuehuashu" and successfully obtained the moon-catching magical power.

For some reason, as Gong Buyu obtained this magical power, Shen Yuan suddenly felt an inexplicable ethereal aura from Gong Buyu.

It seemed as if Gong Buyu in front of him could ascend to the upper realm and reach the lunar star at any time.

Shen Yuan was shocked and was about to observe carefully, but at this moment Gong Buyu had already retracted the shadow of his moon-taking magical power.

The ethereal aura on his body that seemed like he would ascend to heaven at any time suddenly disappeared, and everything seemed to be just a momentary illusion, making it difficult for Shen Yuan to distinguish the truth from the false.

Returning from the Moon Palace Fairy to the mortal world, Gong Buyu's usually calm face could not hide a hint of surprise at this moment, and she spoke softly to Shen Yuan:

"Thank you Master for the Dharma!"

Shen Yuan looked at the eldest disciple in front of him with great curiosity, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"When you obtained the Moon-Taking Divine Power, did you feel anything strange?"

Gong Buyu looked puzzled: "What does the strangeness that Master is talking about mean?"

Looking at Gong Buyu's genuine look, Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying:

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Shen Yuan looked at Gong Buyu with considerable satisfaction.

You have to know that the difficulty faced by Gong Buyu is completely different from when Shen Yuan comprehended the magical power of star numbers.

Shen Yuan had a little blessing from the Sun Star, and with several Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil magical powers, he was able to easily obtain the star-number magical power.

Gong Buyu did not have any help, but relied solely on his own talent to comprehend the "Taiyin Yuehuashu" from scratch in just three months and gained the power to catch the moon. This was already an extremely impressive achievement.

“Well done.”

Shen Yuan started to praise.

A fleeting blush rose on Gong Buyu's delicate face, and a hint of joy appeared in her beautiful eyes as she said:

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

Then, Gong Buyu showed some hesitation, and after thinking for a while, he said respectfully to Shen Yuan:

"Bu Yu was taught the moon-grabbing magical power by his master, and barely stepped into the path of Taiyin Avenue. If he wants to go deeper into this path, he must practice more magical skills of the Taiyin lineage.

Fortunately, my father had discovered Buyu's talent thousands of years ago and had made some preparations for him. However, he did not expect Buyu to progress so quickly, so he did not pass on the method to him.

This time, I would like to ask for leave from my master and return to Rongcheng Dayutian to retrieve the magical skills prepared by my father. I hope my master will agree."

Gong Buyu's seemingly casual words made Shen Yuan's mouth twitch slightly.

"He started preparing ten thousand years ago. This Junior Brother Gong has a long-term vision. I'm afraid he has already collected most of the other Taiyin magical skills except the Earthly Demon Magic Power, right?"

Feeling deeply about the treatment of the second generation of immortals, Shen Yuan casually agreed:

"I agree."

“But since you have returned to Rongcheng Dayu Tianjian Palace, I will give you a task.

Please ask Junior Brother Gong for me whether there is any information about the well-preserved secret realm in the Xuanhuang Realm."

Shen Yuan's words startled Gong Buyu, who asked with some doubt:

"Why does Master want to ask Father about this?"

Shen Yuan went to ask Gong Buhuo for advice, naturally because Gong Buhuo had experienced several eras of spiritual energy tides, had a high level of cultivation and was knowledgeable, so it was natural that he could have access to information about the complete secret realm.

Of course, these words could not be said. After all, Shen Yuanming was the Supreme Taoist and should be more knowledgeable than Patriarch Gong.

Before Shen Yuan could come up with a reason, Gong Buyu said seriously:

"Master is the supreme disciple of Luoyun Sect and the master of Hutian's method. If we talk about the degree of understanding of the secret realm in Xuanhuang Realm, Master should be the leader!"

Gong Buyu's words, "A bystander sees everything clearly," made Shen Yuan feel like he was struck by lightning.

He suddenly realized something.

"Since there is no secret realm, why not create one yourself?"
