"Your Highness, the Gushi Universe Country is quite far from us; it will take us about two years to reach it."

"I'm standing in front of the spaceship's control screen, "Lei En said.

"It's alright, I can just train a bit more on the way. I'll have to trouble you guys again Lei En."

"It's no trouble at all. This is what we should be doing anyway. Your Highness, Your Highness go to the Rest Cabin. We can take care of things here."

"Okay, just message me if you need anything." Yang Yu said before heading towards his private Rest Cabin.

This long-distance voyage will once again utilize Lei En's F-grade Purple Palace spaceship.

Upon arriving at the luxurious G-grade Metal -clad Rest Cabin, Yang Yu once again entered a meditative state.

Two years later.

The two Clone continued their cultivation methodically.

The Original Body, based on the insights gained from the Clone, continuously deduced possible breakthrough directions for the six sets of Fused Mysteries.

However, while the Fused Mysteries was extremely strong, the difficulty of breaking through them also far exceeded Yang Yu's expectations. After two years of sailing, he still hadn't been able to break through any of the profound mysteries.

"It seems that inspiration still comes from battle."

Yang Yu thought to himself, then got up and went to the spaceship control room.

"Your Highness, we are approaching the Youhai Secret Realm. According to the mission prompts, we have arrived at location 019956--B3--AE86--09 within the secret realm."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lei En. Let's fly straight in."

"Good!"

Then, Lei En piloted the spaceship towards a mysterious entrance in the vast starry sky ahead.

There are no guards here, and no organization or force lurking in.

Because the entire Youhai Secret Realm is too vast, there are far too many entrances within the territory of the Gushi Universe Country, and the number of treasures remaining in the entire Youhai Secret Realm is not very large, so these massive entrances have been left unattended.

Anyone with a bit of status or background among the five major factions can get their hands on the entrance coordinates and enter whenever they want.

But only a minority actually do this, because the rewards and costs of exploring this secret realm are disproportionate.

Instead of wasting time on this, you'd be better off spending money to buy a newly created secret realm number; those are the places with the greatest opportunities.

"Whoosh~"

Under Lei En's personal control, the Purple Palace spaceship streaked past like a purple phantom and instantly disappeared into the dark and deep entrance.

"Mission initiated. Full Virtual Universe Network Synchronous Transmission has been activated. Mission executors are required to strictly follow the mission procedures and prohibit others from interfering with the mission."

The moment Yang Yu entered the Youhai Secret Realm, he activated synchronous teleportation as required by the mission.

At the same time, the Mission Assessment Group specifically set up for Yang Yu within the Virtual Universe Company also began to monitor the task progress.

"Lei En, you can just watch from the sidelines for this mission. I'll handle the capture and killing of the Youhai Clan myself."

Outside the spaceship, Yang Yu looked at the dark and deep world ahead and said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Lei En knew the rules of the mission and responded loudly, followed by the ten World Lord guards behind him.

"Then, let the mission begin!"

As he spoke, Yang Yu plummeted to the land.

Looking around, this was a plain shrouded in dim Light Law.

However, given Yang Yu's strength at the Domain Lord Level, the presence or absence of light is actually irrelevant.

"The gravity here is very strong, the Cosmic Origin Energy is very concentrated, and the major Origin Law are very clear. No wonder so many Unique Races have been born here."

Yang Yu walked across the Dim Plains, pondering these thoughts as he released his Mental Force to explore his surroundings.

Meanwhile, the guards, including Lei En, followed behind, while Lei En released his Immortal Power to envelop Yang Yu, ensuring that no unexpected situations would occur.

"The mission notes state that the Youhai Clan are confirmed to be present in the Dim Plains, but you'll have to explore to find their exact location."

Looking at the massive plain, which was a tenth of a light-year in diameter, Yang Yu shook his head inwardly. "Such a large place, and with the Youhai Clan's natural talent for concealment, this mission is going to be quite difficult."

With a wry smile, Yang Yu began his mission to capture or hunt down the Youhai Clan.

With the help of a reasonably good detector and Yang Yu's own powerful Soul Power, the Youhai Clan, which resembled giant humanoid skeletons, were constantly discovered and hunted by Yang Yu.

Because the Youhai Clan was very good at hiding and escaping, Yang Yu didn't bother to capture them alive. Instead, he unleashed a powerful attack the moment he spotted them and killed them instantly.

A year has passed.

Yang Yu hovered above the Dim Plains. "Just one more and we'll complete the mission. These Youhai Clan are really hard to capture."

In the past year, Yang Yu not only killed nine members of the Youhai Clan ranging from the Universe Level to the World Lord First and Second Rank, but also killed many other native lives on the Dim Plains.

These life forms also vary in strength.

The weakest is merely at the Star Level, while the strongest World Lord Ninth Rank.

However, under the furious bombardment of Yang Yu's Thunder God Weapon, even native creatures at the World Lord Ninth Rank could only perish with resentment.

Two weeks later.

"Finally found you!"

Yang Yu's eyes lit up. He had previously used a large detector to pinpoint the approximate location of this World Lord Level Three Youhai Clan, and now he had used his Mental Force to pinpoint its exact location.

They immediately launched a rapid attack.

"Whoosh!"

Once his figure solidified, Yang Yu swung his sword towards the seemingly dark area behind the boulder.

The sharp blade of light shattered the boulder, revealing the Youhai Clan hidden behind the shadows.

"$##%#*&^&"

A series of gibberish sounds came through, and through the Smart Brain's translation, the general meaning of the sentence was:

"Human! Since you've chosen to die, then I Youluo, will grant your wish!"

"Hmph. Die!" Yang Yu snorted coldly, and an Illusory Blade Shadow out straight out.

It instantly disappeared into the brow of the Youluo, a member of the Youluo Youhai Clan.

The third-tier Youluo World Lord Level Three, a gigantic skeletal figure nearly a hundred meters tall, had no time to use his World Projection or launch any attack before his soul was torn apart and killed by the 'Soul-Splitting Soul-Splitting Slash,' which combined the Judgment Profundity and Annihilation Profundity.

"Boom!"

The enormous, semi-illusory skeleton collapsed to the ground.

The Zhuliuyin Clone within Yang Yu's body readily absorbed this True Spirit, further enriching Yang Yu's knowledge base regarding the Consciousness Sea Youhai Clan.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on successfully completing the first stage of the mission."

Seeing that the battle was over, Lei En flew over with a smile.

"It wasn't easy, but I finally finished." Yang Yu smiled and clicked "task completed," while simultaneously closing the Virtual Universe Network Synchronous Transmission.

At the same time.

The several Universe Venerable in charge of the assessment also gave their respective evaluations based on Yang Yu's performance during this period.

After comprehensive calculation.

Yang Yu's mission completion rating is perfect, 100% completion!

Half a day later.

Yang Yu received an email:

"Yang Yu, Primal Secret Realm Member at the Domain Lord Level, you demonstrated a steady, calm, decisive, and thorough approach in the first mission. Combined with your outstanding Law Comprehension and your actual combat strength, we unanimously decide to give you a 'perfect' mission evaluation. We hope you will continue your efforts and complete the next mission."

After reading the evaluation, Yang Yu remained calm and continued to open the information for the second stage of the mission.

The second task: Investigate the whereabouts of the 'Chas Ling Flower'. Finding clues is considered 50% completion. Successfully recording the entire blooming process of a Chas Ling Flower adds 10% to the task completion. Recording five flowers completes the task perfectly.

"The Chas Ling Flower?" Yang Yu whispered.

At the same time, they looked at the detailed introduction of the Chas Ling Flower.

According to the information, the Chas Ling Flower is a magical flower that grows deep in the Dark Mountain Range. Before it blooms, it is just an ordinary, large plant.

Once fully in bloom, the flower diameter reaches one kilometer. The flower is pale purple and releases a rich fragrance that covers a wide area. Within the area covered by the fragrance, one can slightly improve the clarity of their Comprehend Laws, which can play a significant auxiliary role in cultivation.

Therefore, the area where each Chas Ling Flower is located is a territory that powerful creatures compete to control. Extreme caution is required when searching for Chas Ling Flower.

After noting down the general characteristics of the Chas Ling Flower and the location of the Dark Mountain Range, Yang Yu determined the direction and then flew towards the Dark Mountain Range.

After the mission began, Yang Yu was prohibited from using spaceships or technological weapons for assistance, so even though the Dark Mountain Range were more than 100 million kilometers away, he had no choice but to fly there.

Fortunately, Yang Yu had already reached the edge of the Dim Plains when he was tracking the Youhai Clan, and was not far from the Dark Mountain Range.

Otherwise, just getting around would take up a lot of time.

"Call out!"

Yang Yu, transformed into a bolt of Thunder, flew freely through the air above the Youhai Secret Realm.

Although this move provoked attacks from many native creatures, it was exactly what Yang Yu wanted to see.

The Human Original Body has now broken through to the Domain Lord, and needs to absorb a large amount of True Spirit.

And so.

Yang Yu hunted as he traveled.

It must be said that there are indeed many powerful creatures in the Youhai Secret Realm. Yang Yu only travels hundreds of thousands of kilometers every day, yet he still manages to hunt down hundreds of Domain Lord Level creatures and one or two World Lord along the way.

Six months later.

Yang Yu successfully reached the edge of the Dark Mountain Range.

At this moment, the Human Original Body had refined and absorbed enough True Spirit Essence, and its soul strength increased more than tenfold, reaching a level comparable to the World Lord Late Stage.

His comprehension also improved significantly, and his efficiency in deducing Fused Mysteries increased several times over.

This made Yang Yu marvel at how amazing the Soul Devour Secret Technique truly was!

Otherwise, with such complex and profound Fused Mysteries, it's uncertain when there will be any hope of a successful fusion.

Now, with the support of the Soul Devour Secret Technique, which can almost infinitely enhance his soul strength and comprehension, Yang Yu finally has the confidence to embark on the path of Fusion Law.

"Bang!"

Yang Yu landed on a boulder on the mountain. "Lei En, just follow me at a distance, as before."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Along the way, Lei En and the others were very confident in Yang Yu's combat abilities; even ordinary Peak World Lord couldn't withstand a single move from Yang Yu.

Whether it's Soul Attack or Material Attack, every single strike reaches the level of an ordinary immortal.

This made the ten Peak World Lord guards following at the back sometimes wonder whether they were protecting Yang Yu or Yang Yu was protecting them.

Although they are all members of the Virtual Universe Company's Endless Secret Realm, each of them has gained the recognition of the Origin Law, and their combat abilities and Law Comprehension are comparable to those of ordinary immortals.

However, Yang Yu's casual attacks still startled them, and they couldn't help but admire him as Registered Disciple of the Chaos City Lord, having even conquered the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain.

Such Peerless Genius, even if they are only at the Domain Lord Level now, have already unleashed power that surpasses theirs.

Walking through the mountains, as always, in the dim light.

Yang Yu amplified his Soul Power more than tenfold and quietly extended it forward, instantly covering millions of square kilometers around him.

Within the exploration area, these places are home to a wide variety of animals and plants.

Many of them are vastly different from the plants and animals in the Primal Universe. When he encounters something that interests him, Yang Yu will take a detour to check it out, satisfying his curiosity and enriching his knowledge base along the way.

If he encounters a creature that doesn't know its own limitations, Yang Yu doesn't hesitate to kill it.

In any case, neither the Zhuliuyin Clone nor the Demon Dragon Clone in the special space within his body had absorbed enough True Spirit.

That's all.

As Yang Yu explored, he searched for the 'Chas Ling Flower' in the vast, Dark Mountain Range, while also keeping an eye out for a suitable Clone to possess.

They seemed quite relaxed and content.

Actually, there was no other way but to do it this way, since the area of the Dark Mountain Range was comparable to a star system, Yang Yu's detectors could not detect the Chas Ling Flower.

The only option is to use a brute-force, blanket search.

Perhaps this is also the intention of Virtual Universe Company.

The intention was to use the mission as a pretext to familiarize Yang Yu with the various dangers in the Universe Secret Region in advance, laying the foundation for his future solo adventures.

Six months later.

Deep within the Dark Mountain Range.

Yang Yu was aimlessly searching for the Chas Ling Flower.

Suddenly.

A giant tail covered in countless sharp spikes lunged at Yang Yu.

The offensive appeared quite fierce.

"Boom!"

The space in front of Yang Yu even trembled violently because of this attack.

But Yang Yu simply waved his blade casually with a blank expression, Thunder Slash, which combined the Mystery of Slowness, was unleashed in an instant.

Suddenly, an extremely thin and perfectly aligned Space Rift appeared on the side.

The ferocious tail that suddenly attacked hadn't even entered Yang Yu's 100-meter range before it was easily severed by the blade's edge.

The blade's power remained undiminished, easily striking the strange behemoth hidden among the dimly lit rocks along its original trajectory.

"Laugh!"

A series of crisp sounds rang out, including the sound of space being cut and the sounds of scales and Origin Bead shattering.

Once the blade's aura dissipated, the strange behemoth, whose strength was at the World Lord Five, perished on the spot.

With Mental Force, a True Spirit gleaming with blue light was refined and absorbed by the Zhuliuyin Clone within Yang Yu's special space.

"Youying Beast?"

Having absorbed all of the attacker's memories, Yang Yu learned the name of the Fierce Beast.

At the same time, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"After killing so many Fierce Beasts, we've finally found the whereabouts of the Chas Ling Flower!"

Thanks to the Soul Devour Secret Technique's ability to read memories, Yang Yu killed Fierce Beast along the way while sorting through their Fierce Beast.

Now, a clue to the Chas Ling Flower has finally been found.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Yu no longer traveled at a leisurely pace, but instead unleashed his Thunder Body Technique, a movement technique that combined the subtle Movement Technique Fast and Slow Mysteries, resulting in extremely high speed.

Even if it hasn't been fully realized yet.

But its instantaneous burst speed also reached over 200,000 kilometers per second!

A moment later.

Yang Yu's figure solidified, and he had already arrived at an inconspicuous small pool located deep in the core of the mountain range.

Beside this pool, there grows a gigantic plant that is hundreds of meters in diameter and thousands of meters tall.

At the very top of this plant hung a huge Flower Bud!

Through the Youying Beast's memories, it was discovered that the plant growing on this Ping Ping -looking plant was none other than the Chas Ling Flower!

At this moment, the Flower Bud is absorbing the surrounding Origin Energy through the leaves of the Chas Ling Tree, preparing for the Chas Ling Flower to bloom.

Judging from the size of the Flower Bud, the final blooming of the Chas Ling Flower is not far off.
