I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1258: 770: Demonic Might Soaring, Unity Realm Stage Confrontation!
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
“Is the secret realm closing soon?”
“That can't be! The Returning Ruins Secret Realm always remains open for a full hundred years, right? How much time has passed so far!”
“What's really happening here?”
Beyond the Immortal Palace, the mighty experts from different factions felt a sudden surge of shock as news flashed into their thoughts, stirring everyone into frenzy.
Nothing like this had ever happened in the past.
From the records passed down by ancestors, the previous two activations of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm each endured a complete century before sealing shut.
Yet this instance, after barely more than two decades of access, it was already on the verge of shutting down.
This unexpected twist quickly ignited a storm of guesses among the gathered powerhouses.
“We've only just emerged, and now the secret realm is closing?”
In the plaza, Yu Jian and Qing Xii displayed clear signs of doubt and astonishment.
They had been ousted from the trial corridor and sent back from the eighth level of Sword Dao mere moments ago, only to learn of the secret realm's impending shutdown.
This timing couldn't help but provoke deeper suspicions in their minds.
“A Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit actually perished inside this secret realm, and even Tu Shan met his end?”
Elsewhere, a middle-aged figure clad in robes marked by a cauldron emblem gasped in disbelief after listening to his followers' accounts.
He never imagined such colossal upheavals would unfold beyond his focus while he pushed through the Dan Dao evaluation pathway.
Not just the demise of a Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, but the formidable Tu Shan and every single follower from the Black and White Temple had been utterly wiped out.
“Good thing I stayed under the radar, relying on a Secret Treasure to mask my presence and steer clear of trouble. Little did I know that among those who ventured into the secret realm this round, such ferocious killers lurked.”
The Dan Dao-robed middle-aged man experienced a rush of gratitude.
For this venture into the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, he had adopted a disguised persona, aiming to uncover a path to higher attainment.
To that end, he frequently altered his aura via a Secret Treasure, projecting merely the power of the Seventh Tribulation of Primordial Spirit to evade notice.
Reflecting on it, that choice proved utterly shrewd.
Had he behaved like the head of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan, using his superior level to dominate and plunder others' possessions, his end would probably mirror theirs.
“Such a shame—the challenges in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm prove far too grueling. Despite my prowess in Dan Dao, I managed to reach only the eighth stage before halting.”
The middle-aged man in Dan Dao attire inwardly lamented.
Under his concealed guise this time, his goal had been to access the Immortal Palace, though he fell short in the end.
Still, his journey wasn't fruitless.
Throughout the ordeal of navigating the trial passages, he absorbed substantial insights.
Back home, with some reflection, pushing toward Nine Tribulations Perfection might well lie within reach.
“I can only speculate what caused this early sealing of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm—perhaps it's tied to the enigmatic slayer of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan's leader and Tu Shan?”
Regardless of the swirling theories in the minds of these powerhouses, the Returning Ruins Secret Realm's closure loomed as undeniable reality.
No one risked delay and dashed toward the departure point.
Failing to escape now meant waiting another hundred thousand years for the next chance to enter.
“No trace of that individual?”
Near the exit, Yu Jian scanned the area thoroughly yet failed to locate Lu Qing's presence.
The rest of the elite figures mirrored his efforts, straining to catch sight of Lu Qing amid the throng.
However, despite their vigilant hunts, that person's form remained elusive.
“Perhaps…”
With the secret realm truly on the brink of sealing and Lu Qing still absent…
A realization dawned on many powerhouses that their earlier hunches were likely spot on.
This abrupt end to the Returning Ruins Secret Realm surely connected to that formidable Sword Cultivator.
Indeed, it seemed probable he had already breached the Immortal Palace and claimed an unprecedented fortune!
This notion filled the strong ones with burning envy.
After all, the Immortal Palace stemmed from the Transformation Immortal's legacy, its secrets untouched for hundreds of thousands of years by any intruder.
But now, someone had claimed it, poised to harvest untold boons and riches.
The mere idea drove them to the edge of insanity with resentment.
Yet no matter their seething covetousness, options remained nil.
The secret realm neared its final moments, and lingering meant eternal entrapment.
Given their cultivation levels, surviving a hundred thousand years without supplies was impossible.
Thus, no matter their unwillingness, they prioritized fleeing the secret realm.
“Move out, let's exit without delay. Back at base, we'll rally the entire sect's forces right away to uncover that Sword Cultivator's background!”
“Exactly, we should summon the Ancestors to stand guard outside the secret realm—we refuse to believe that Sword Cultivator stays hidden forever!”
“No matter the fortunes he seizes, he can't dwell in the Immortal Palace eternally. The day he emerges will mark our moment to strike!”
As the secret realm gradually sealed, the elite figures wasted no more time, activating their artifacts and departing the domain, shielded by their tokens as they burst forth.
“Lord Yu Jian!”
While the Sky-breaking Sword Sect's followers climbed onto the vessel, two shapes abruptly approached, gazing at Yu Jian with desperate pleas.
These were the two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators Yu Jian had rescued at the start, remarkably still alive.
All their fellow Primordial Spirit Realm peers had been massacred by Tu Shan, their tokens seized as well.
Lacking token safeguards, navigating the outer Star River Formation would spell certain doom.
“Climb on board.”
Before the urgent appeals from those two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, Yu Jian offered no denial, giving a faint nod.
“Many thanks!”
Joy lit up the faces of the two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators as they cautiously stepped onto the Sky-breaking Sword Sect's treasure ship.
