Chapter 296 - World Control Pearl
Chapter 296: World Control Pearl
There was still a dense mountain forest in front of him, and the legacy of a certain Nascent Soul realm cultivator of the Poison Division was still there a short distance ahead.
However, there was still a test, and Chen Chen had long taken the legacy away, so they had no idea where it was now.
‘If I remember correctly, the inheritance should be called the ‘Hundred-Poison Pass’.
There were many of such inheritances in the secret realm, which were pieces that he had left behind back then.
Chen Chen took a whiff of the fresh air in the secret realm and sensed his cultivation level.
Just like before, he was suppressed into a mortal, but his strong physical body was still there.
Without hesitation, Chen Chen took a step forward and leaped outwards by a few thousand meters, like a super flea.
…
Half a day later, Chen Chen finally walked through the entire secret realm and generally figured out the size of the secret realm.
It was about 50 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide.
Besides, he had used a 20,000-meter tracking opportunity once in the secret realm to search about a quarter of the area.
However, he initially searched the middlemost area of this secret realm, so the legacy it encompassed was not quite a lot.
“System, are there any opportunities in a 500-meter radius?”
“No.”
The system’s answer was brief and concise.
Chen Chen shook his head and chuckled.
In fact, when scanning with his divine senses, he had found a small legacy nearby, but it was no longer an opportunity for him now. In fact, it was of such a low level that he was too lazy to bend down to pick it up. Hence, it didn’t show up on the system.
Back then, he might have missed some great opportunities, but due to the fact that he was too weak then, he couldn’t get it at all. Hence, the system didn’t include them as opportunities or show them at all.
Having figured this out, Chen Chen thought carefully for another moment before asking, “System, is there anything nearby that is worth more than one million Spirit Stones?”
“No.”
After receiving the answer, Chen Chen didn’t feel discouraged at all, and he began leaping around the secret realm while searching accordingly.
At this moment, he was again missing the ten 50-kilometer tracking opportunities that he had back then.
Although he now had two opportunities to track within 50,000 kilometers, it would be a waste to use it in such a tiny place.
However, he was afraid of getting blamed by Heaven, if he were to go to the Boundless Sea to search for the treasures. Hence, the two 50,000 kilometer tracking opportunities were just sitting in the system because he couldn’t use them for the time being.
However, he still had some ideas in mind.
If it really didn’t work, he would use it to find some talented professionals.
…
“Host, there is a Realm Control Pearl 32 meters below you.”
Just when Chen Chen was thinking about those random things, different answers surfaced in his mind even though he had only been tracking for 15 minutes.
Hearing this answer, Chen Chen hurriedly stopped while his eyes lit up.
Realm Control Pearl sounded just like an impressive treasure.
However, Chen Chen did not dig the earth immediately and instead, asked the system questions.
“System, are there any opportunities in a 500-meter radius?”
“No.”
Hearing this cold and merciless answer, Chen Chen’s zeal and excitement vanished.
There was a good thing nearby, but it wasn’t an opportunity. There were only two possibilities then.
Firstly, he couldn’t get the Realm Control Pearl.
Secondly, he wouldn’t be able to use it even after getting it.
“System, are there any traps or dangers within a 500-meter radius?”
“No.”
Boom!
As soon as the system gave him the answer, Chen Chen suddenly punched the ground, causing the dozens of meters of earth to shatter into bits.
Regardless of whether he could get it or not, he would have to take a look at it first since there was no danger!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After launching a few light punches, the ground began to emit rays of light, and soon, a crumbling relic reappeared.
The relic was square-shaped, and it covered an area of only a hundred meters. There were dense patterns and plenty of ancient words on it.
They were true ancient words, which were a completely different concept from Chen Chen’s ‘ancient words’.
In the center of the relic, there was a transparent light cover, in which there was a white orb that was rotating slowly.
“Realm Control Pearl…”
Chen Chen’s eyes were full of a burning gaze, and he soon arrived in front of the light.
“System, what is the most precious thing within a two-meter radius?”
“The Realm Control Pearl in front of you, Host. Holding it would be akin to controlling a microcosm here.”
Hearing the answer, Chen Chen reached out to touch the light shield…
Just as he imagined, it was not a spiritual power barrier but a physical barrier that was made from some type of transparent material.
Chen Chen sighed, quietly looked around, and then slammed his fist onto the transparent light shield.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Chen Chen’s punch landed. Although the barrier was intact, Chen Chen’s hand had become a little numb.
Chen Chen wanted to cry, but he now had a deeper understanding of life.
There is no greater pain in life than knowing that there is a treasure in front of you that doesn’t belong to anyone but not being able to take it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After launching a combination of punches, Chen Chen reluctantly flicked his hands and looked at the transparent barrier.
‘Seriously, can’t this system just give me a surprise for once?’
‘We’re already so familiar with each other, it’s already been so long, why do you have to be so serious?’
“What do we do?”
Chen Chen felt that if he really couldn’t get it, he’d rather not know what it was.
It was just like the mussel that he had yet to taste.
“Ah!”
After sighing gently, Chen Chen hated himself for being redundantly curious.
“I refuse to accept this!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After another series of explosive sounds, Chen Chen looked at his swollen hand. Instead of disappointment, there was great joy in his eyes.
The color of his bright yellow hand had already become much dimmer.
In addition, the relic also seemed to have undergone some kind of a change. The ancient words on the ground seemed different too.
The only thing that hadn’t changed was that Chen Chen still couldn’t read it.
Bang bang bang…
At this moment, Chen Chen could no longer be bothered about the Realm Control Pearl as he simply started slamming his face against the transparent light shield.
Although it hurt a little, it could restore his appearance after all. That point alone was enough for him to forgo the pain.
…
At the same time, in a gray place somewhere on the western border, a gray-haired old man with dark eyes pulled out a communication token.
“Master, there are now three Void Refinement realm cultivators staring at me now. I want to leave the human border, but I need to have something to rely on. Otherwise, I won’t have a chance at all.”
“I’ve already found you some support.” There was soon a reply from the communication token.
“Who’s there!?”
“Chen Chen, the best elite of the human race who has risen to fame lately.”
The gray-haired old man’s expression changed when he heard that. He asked coldly, “Sect Master, the destruction of the Dark Immortal Sect, which is under my command, has something to do with him. You must be kidding about him being my backer, right? Is he trustworthy?”
“Of course not.”
The gray-haired old man was completely speechless. Before he spoke, the Heavenly Diabolism master continued, “But he’s indeed the key to whether you can escape from the human race or not. I’ll tell you the specific plan in two days, just tell me when you plan to leave.”
Three days later.”
“The upper echelons of the human race have already given me a mission to block the Demon Venerable of the Divine Ape clan in three days. At that time, I will try to escape to the demon border.”
“Got it, you have to act carefully. Also, you’d better trust me this time and don’t develop any other ideas. Otherwise, you will definitely die.”
The gray-haired old man smiled bitterly and shook his head after hearing those words.
He really wanted to disobey him, but at this moment, he had no choice but to trust the Heavenly Diabolism master.
