For some reason, Yi Shuihan had this thought, and it seemed quite likely.
Yi Shuihan's strength far surpassed that of these seven people. Even though Yi Shuihan was right in their line of sight, they didn't notice her presence at all.
"It seems he's not following the path of immortality!"
Yi Shuihan had initially thought that perhaps those tribesmen weren't cultivating the mainstream of the world, and that there were immortal lineages in the Central Region. But now he realized he had been overthinking it. Although the aura of these people was somewhat different from that of the tribesmen, they were fundamentally from the same source.
In other words, this world is not the world that Yi Shuihan is familiar with. It is a new system, different from any system that Yi Shuihan knows, such as the Immortal System, the Magic System, the Superpower System, the Battle Qi System, or the Martial Arts System.
To be honest, the cultivation system at this stage could be called a bloodline system, which mainly involves tapping into one's own power.
The first step, Blood Clotting, is to strengthen one's own bloodline origin, while the second step, Sky Leap, is to further explore one's own bloodline.
Cultivating the bloodline system is simpler than the immortal path. For those with slightly lower mental states, as long as they have a good understanding of power, advancement is easy.
These are just Yi Shuihan's deductions for now; they can only be confirmed after Yi Shuihan has collected all the data.
Yi Shuihan could have used memory search to obtain what he wanted from these people's memories. As a Silver Peak cultivator, he shouldn't be considered weak, and he should have been able to obtain a lot of useful information. However, Yi Shuihan did not do so.
It's not that he can't do it, it's just that he can't do it without the other party not noticing. After all, they are almost at the Gold level, which is fundamentally different from the previous captain who wasn't even Silver.
Searching memories, or rather, searching the soul, can leave irreversible consequences if the other party doesn't cooperate or makes the slightest move. They might become an idiot or even have their soul scattered.
Having no grudge against them, Yi Shuihan couldn't bring himself to use such a heavy hand. As for discussing it with them and directly saying that he wanted to search their souls, probably no normal person would agree to that.
If you can't search his soul, then just ask him directly, or follow these people to the Central Region, and you'll easily find out the information he wants. There's no need to rush.
"I wonder if they also belong to the Sky-Stepping Realm. If so, the Sky-Stepping Realm is really powerful."
Without a sound, Yi Shuihan entered the secret realm right under their noses.
......
"Wow, is this a huge reaction?"
Upon entering the secret realm, which is essentially a small world, Yi Shuihan was shocked to find himself locked in before he could do anything else. The small world then appeared to be in a state of apocalypse, seemingly on the verge of collapse and self-destruction.
Yi Shuihan was too confident, believing that with his cultivation level, he would not be discovered when he entered this world and could easily hide. However, it turned out that he was overthinking it.
"The Holy Spirit should think of a solution quickly."
"We can provide cover, but it will consume a certain amount of cultivation points. Do you want to provide cover?"
"How much? Too much is fine, we can just watch it get destroyed."
"A thousand points."
"Not concealing it... well, never mind, I'll still conceal it! After all, if I don't conceal it, everyone else in this small world except me is doomed. They've suffered an undeserved calamity because of me."
The system acted swiftly. As soon as Yi Shuihan finished speaking, the feeling of being locked on disappeared, and the sky returned to normal, as if everything before had been an illusion.
"What happened just now?"
A young man with a smile on his face suddenly stopped smiling and looked at the sky in confusion. The earth-shattering scene just now, although it only lasted for a short time, still made his heart pound.
Around the youth were the corpses of unknown beasts, their deaths extremely gruesome, not a single body intact. Clearly, this was the work of the smiling youth. The smiling youth himself was spotless, his clothes neat, as if he hadn't been in any battle at all, which demonstrated just how terrifying he was.
This smiling youth is no nobody; he's very famous among the younger generation, known as the Smiling Killer. He's only 20 years old and has already reached the Heavenly Realm—an absolute genius.
If Yi Shuihan saw this smiling young man, he would definitely recognize him as one of the Central Region team members that the captain had met.
Besides the smiling youth, there were several other people in this small world who were also puzzled and uncertain about the commotion they had just witnessed.
A young girl wielding a silver spear stands in a swamp; a fiery-haired youth sits in a volcano's crater; a cold, silver-haired youth roams the desert...
"Alright, let's begin our treasure hunt."
With the system providing cover, Yi Shuihan was able to unleash his power without restraint. His spiritual energy instantly enveloped the entire small world, and then he rushed towards the place he considered most valuable.
Yi Shuihan had no one paying attention to this small world, so he was unaware that the smiling young man was heading in the same direction as his destination.
"This is it, the Louvre? It should be the original site of the world's master's sect, and there's still an array. It's a pity that it no longer has the energy to operate, and even if it had enough energy, it wouldn't have been able to hide it from me."
Just as Yi Shuihan had resolved the protective mountain formation and was preparing to enter the Luofu Palace for an exploration, he suddenly stopped. Not far away, the figure of the smiling young man slowly appeared.
Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, a hint of surprise flashed in the smiling young man's eyes, but he walked up to Yi Shuihan without changing his expression.
"Which sect are you from? Never mind, it doesn't matter which sect you're from. You should know who I am. This place is now under my control. Go somewhere else before I change my mind."
I was underestimated!
Chapter 990, Fuji-senpai, I am Tsubasa Ozora
Yi Shuihan looked at the smiling young man in front of him with a strange expression. He knew that the other party regarded him as one of the sect disciples who had entered the secret realm with him. Generally speaking, for geniuses like Bu Er, they only paid attention to those at the same level as them. They were too lazy to even remember the names of those at different levels. As for someone like him whose name he couldn't remember, Bu Er naturally didn't care.
"Who are you...?"
At first, he was shocked, but then Yi Shuihan's expression quickly returned to normal, as if he had just seen a cat or dog.
This reaction was clearly unexpected by Fuji. He was taken aback at first, then continued to smile, but this time the smile was even more radiant than before, to the point that his eyes were almost invisible.
Those familiar with Fuji know that the brighter his smile, the more dangerous it is, because it means he is very angry.
"and many more."
Just before Fuji made his move, Yi Shuihan suddenly spoke, causing Fuji to pause his attack.
Even if you beg for mercy now, it's no use. At most, it will make your death a little easier.
"Are you Fuji Syusuke, the number two singles player at Seishun Academy? I'm Tsubasa Ozora! I've finally found you, senpai! Let's make it to Koshien together!"
He looked at Fuji with excitement and said something that left Fuji completely dumbfounded.
Fuji Syusuke? Seishun Academy, Koshien, what the heck are these?
Bu Er was destined not to understand the meaning behind Yi Shuihan's words; even as a time traveler, he would be bewildered by this chaotic combination.
When Bu Er saw Yi Shuihan's mocking gaze, he finally realized that the other party was playing him.
His smile grew even brighter, and a murderous aura erupted, instantly creating a killing intent field that enveloped Yi Shuihan.
This killing intent field is formed using a special method after countless deaths. It is one of the reasons why Fuji is called the Smiling Killer God. More than 10,000 lives have died in Fuji's hands to be able to form a killing intent field. Here, "10,000" refers to beings of the same level as Fuji, because only beings of the same level as Fuji can meet the requirements for forming a killing intent field.
For others, even those at the peak of the Silver Realm, this killing intent field can affect their strength, and for those at the same level, it can suppress their strength by more than half. However, the target of this field is Yi Shuihan, who only feels a little cooler around him.
"Why are you okay?"
Why would I need something?
"Could it be that my killing intent field has failed?"
Never mind, let's take care of this kid first.
At this moment, Fuji didn't even consider that Yi Shuihan was too strong and completely immune to the killing intent field. He simply threw a straight punch.
Fuji's arm was flashing with red light, exuding a dangerous aura.
Of course, what was an incredibly dangerous attack to others was like child's play to Yi Shuihan, completely insignificant. Yi Shuihan had no intention of taking the hit, even knowing that it wouldn't cause any harm even if it did hit.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and an invisible shockwave was unleashed, sending Fuji flying backward and crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Staring in horror at Yi Shuihan, Bu Er finally realized that he was not facing a disciple of the same generation, but an old monster whose strength was far superior to his own.
"You're from the Louvre? How is that possible? The Louvre has been destroyed for a thousand years. How could there still be living people there?"
"First of all, I am not a member of the Louvre. Secondly, your statement is incorrect. There are still living people in the Louvre."
Yi Shuihan's spiritual power had already scanned the Louvre. He discovered three people with weak life force. Their strength at its peak should have been at the peak of Silver rank. They must have preserved their lives through some kind of sealing method and were waiting to be revived.
After Yi Shuihan destroyed the formation, the life force of the three landlords rapidly increased, clearly indicating that they had been affected and would soon break free from the seal.
"Not from the Louvre? Impossible! This secret realm can only be entered by those below the Sky-Stepping Realm; otherwise, it will cause the realm's destruction. You..."
Suddenly, Fuji stopped talking. The scene from before flashed through his mind—the celestial phenomenon that suggested the world was about to collapse. He thought of something, and stared wide-eyed at Yi Shuihan.
"An existence that surpasses the Heavenly Stepping Realm!"
As he uttered those words, one by one, the Smiling Killer Bu Er stopped smiling for the first time, his face filled with bitterness.
The thought that Yi Shuihan entered this world, yet the world did not self-destruct, greatly shocked Bu Er, because this meant that Yi Shuihan's strength far exceeded that of the creator of this secret realm, otherwise he would not have been able to hide from the secret realm's investigation.
Louvre was once an extremely famous sect, after all, it had a World Realm ancestor in charge. If it hadn't offended Ancestor Feng, it would never have been destroyed. After all, once you reach the World Realm and create a secret realm, your strength will increase significantly within your own secret realm, making such an existence extremely difficult to kill.
The World Realm is the realm after the Heavenly Ascent Realm, corresponding to the Great Luo Golden Immortal. In this world, only by becoming a World Realm cultivator can one's lifespan be greatly increased, reaching the point of eternal immortality. This is because World Realm cultivators can create their own world, exist based on their own world, and have the same lifespan as their own world.
Before reaching the World Realm, becoming a Heaven-Stepping Realm grants a lifespan of 500 years. However, regardless of the circumstances, unless one reaches the World Realm, the maximum lifespan of a Heaven-Stepping Realm cultivator is only a thousand years, even with various life-extending methods.
In this world, it's easier for people to reach higher levels than in other worlds. For example, Bu Er reached the Heavenly Stepping stage at the age of 20, which is comparable to the Silver level. However, this is why there is a lifespan limit. This is the corresponding balance point under the Great Dao.
After severely injuring Bu Er, Yi Shuihan ignored him and walked into the Louvre Palace on his own. He had only been able to fully infiltrate this small world thanks to the system, which already demonstrated its extraordinary nature. He had high expectations for the Louvre Palace and hoped to obtain some treasures that would be useful to him.
After Yi Shuihan left, Bu Er stood up, took out a pill with a pained expression, and swallowed it. After swallowing the pill, most of his injuries were instantly healed, which showed how precious the pill was, and it was no wonder that he was so pained.
As he looked at the Louvre, Fuji's expression kept changing. He wanted to go inside and explore, but he hesitated when he thought of Yi Shuihan.
Finally, Fuji gritted his teeth and, unable to resist the allure of the treasure, resolutely entered the Louvre. However, after entering, he went in a different direction from Yi Shuihan. In order to avoid Yi Shuihan, he tried to go to places he thought Yi Shuihan wouldn't go.
Tianyuan Realm
Chapter 991, Gathering in Luofu
"It seems the people who destroyed the Louvre were very strong! Otherwise, they wouldn't have left so many things behind. They probably didn't even want these things."
Others might not want it, and Yi Shuihan might not want it either, but he still put everything away. Anyway, the place was big, and if he didn't need it, he could give it to his subordinates.
"Bloodline Pill? It can help break through to the Heavenly Realm. There's such a big gourd of it. It seems to be a low-grade pill."
"Essence Pill, a pill that greatly enhances cultivation at the Heavenly Ascension Realm. Hmm, I'll take it."
"A top-grade Beast Control Pill that can control exotic beasts at the Heavenly Ascension Realm? Not bad."
"..."
"Ten-thousand-year-old Crimson Fruit, ten-thousand-year-old Seven-Leaf Lotus Seed, one-hundred-thousand-year-old Mist-Water Grass, one-hundred-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo, ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Bone Grass..."
"Gold dust, Yin-Yang jade, Yuanjing iron, Xuanxing stone..."
Yi Shuihan acquired various elixirs, medicinal herbs, and refining materials. Before its destruction, the Louvre Palace was a major sect, and these items represented its true strength. It could be said that whoever obtained these items could easily establish a considerable power outside.
For disciples like Bu Er, as long as they obtain even a small amount of the treasures from the Louvre Palace, they will have no worries about cultivating to the Heavenly Realm. In fact, if they could obtain all the inheritances of the Louvre Palace, they might even have a chance to reach the World Realm.
Despite being a genius who broke through to the Sky-Stepping Realm early on, Bu Er only has a sliver of hope for the World Realm.
The World Realm is too difficult to break through in this world; among billions of people in the Sky-Stepping Realm, not even one person can advance to the World Realm.
On the surface, there are only a few hundred beings who have reached the World Realm, and whether the number can break a thousand is still a question, even considering those who are hidden.
For the people of this world, the World Realm is a clear dividing line. Without reaching the World Realm, no matter how talented or powerful you were before, it is all in vain. When the time comes, you will only turn to ashes.
Deep within the Louvre, in a tomb-like chamber containing hundreds of coffins, one of the coffin lids suddenly flew up and crashed nearby, shattering into pieces.
A emaciated figure, resembling a skeleton covered in skin, emerged from the coffin.
"bang"
"Boom"
One coffin lid flew off, and the other coffin simply exploded.
Two similar objects appeared. It was obvious that these three things were people, but because they had been locked in a coffin for a long time, they had become like mummies.
"The time is up."
Intermittent sounds rang out from the first mouth, and then he opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath. The surrounding spiritual energy continuously poured into his mouth. As the spiritual energy entered his body, his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, he was no longer seen as shabby as before and became a normal young man.
The other two did the same thing, and soon a group of two men and one woman appeared in the tomb.
"Our patriarch said before his death that when the Louvre sees the light of day again, the world will undergo a great change. During this period, the difficulty of breaking through to the World Realm will decrease by a hundredfold. As long as one of us can seize the opportunity to break through, the Louvre can be rebuilt."
"Of the hundreds of seeds we had back then, are only the three of us the ones who made it this far?"
"Let's go, seal this place up, and don't let outsiders disturb them. Next, we need to find a substitute to get out of here, otherwise nothing can be discussed. As for the things in the palace, take as much as you can, and don't let outsiders benefit from what you can't take."
It turns out that this tomb chamber was not actually a tomb chamber. They were originally living people who were sealed here by some method, waiting for the right time to see the light of day again. Unfortunately, during the long period of time, an accident occurred, and in the end, only 3 people survived.
Those who could stay in this tomb were all core disciples of the Louvre at the time, most of whom were at the Heavenly Ascension level, and a small number of them, although not at the Heavenly Ascension level, were still extremely talented geniuses.
Without achieving the World Realm, one's lifespan is at most a thousand years, and the Louvre has been destroyed for over a thousand years. Logically, all these people should be dead by now. However, there are still three people who are still alive and look very young, with their lifespans not fading. This is clearly not in accordance with common sense.
The truth is that when the Luo Fu Ancestor, who was at the World Realm, died, he used a forbidden technique. Originally, this small world could have continued to exist for ten thousand years even after the death of the Luo Fu Ancestor. Now, as long as this secret realm exploration ends, this small world will self-destruct.
At the cost of a drastically shortened lifespan of the small world, these seeds had a slight chance of escaping undetected.
After all, he is at the World Realm, equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so it is possible for him to make some minor changes to the world.
This kind of life extension is actually quite useless. After all, it's called life extension, but it actually means staying in a coffin, which is equivalent to being sealed. The time these people live in a conscious state is not changed at all. In a narrow sense, it can't be considered life extension, and they have paid such a high price.
Moreover, this life extension also tests a person's willpower; otherwise, out of hundreds of people, only 3 would have succeeded.
