"We only need to hold him back. The main body should be collecting the Seven Profound Sky Water by now."
The Four-Silver Clan avatar no longer intended to fight the native venerable before him head-on.
Instead, he used his innate secret technique to continuously harass his opponent.
This infuriated the giant ape venerable, yet he could do nothing to the Four-Silver Clan avatar.
After all, he had only just entered the high-level venerable rank. In terms of basic divine body strength, he was even inferior to the Four-Silver Clan avatar!
And the longer this dragged on, the greater the loss to his divine body!
Left with no choice, the Flame Ape Tribe venerable could only stop burning his divine body.
"Outsider, you have stolen our clan's sacred relic today. Our clan will never rest until you are dead!"
Seeing that he could not stop them, the Flame Ape Tribe venerable could only utter threats, hoping Su Heng and the others would stop.
But how could Su Heng and the others give up because of that?
Not to mention that humanity was one of the universe's pinnacle races, they had come to this secret realm in pursuit of opportunities in the first place.
Now that a rare opportunity lay before them, how could they easily abandon it because of someone else's words?
Outside.
Kan Deli was dealing with the mid-level venerable before him with ease.
Suddenly, he smiled and transmitted his voice to Nine Swords Venerable.
"Nine Swords, no wonder you invited Nirvana. That avatar of his alone can match a high-level venerable!"
Nine Swords smiled as well upon hearing this.
Although Mother Ancestor had specifically come to ask him for a spot back then, he would not have agreed if Su Heng had been too weak!
It was only after Su Heng displayed his strength before him that he finally agreed to let him join.
"All right, let's quickly deal with these natives as well. It looks like Nirvana's side is nearly finished, and we still need to go help him."
Mist Hammer Venerable reminded them from the side.
"Mm!" Nine Swords Venerable and Kan Deli both nodded.
Kan Deli then released the three avatars he had prepared long ago. They appeared before the three native venerables and held them back.
The three of them then flew toward Su Heng.
In truth, given the strength, methods, and experience of the three of them, they could guess that native powerhouses were stationed where the Seven Profound Sky Water was located.
The reason they had Su Heng seize the treasure was merely to see some of his methods. It was also a test for Su Heng.
After all, words alone proved nothing. Su Heng was not yet a universe powerhouse with a long-established reputation!
Elsewhere.
Su Heng arrived at the waterfall and stored the entire pool of Seven Profound Sky Water beneath it in his World Ring.
With a flash, he flew toward the outskirts from another direction.
At the same time, through their shared consciousness, the Four-Silver Clan avatar learned that the main body had succeeded. After stalling for a while longer, he also began to retreat.
In the end, with Nine Swords and the others' help, the Four-Silver Clan avatar and the main body reunited.
After leaving the region covered in Law Secret Markings, they used teleportation to depart from the tribe.
Arriving at a safe cave, they began discussing how to divide the spoils.
"There was even more Seven Profound Sky Water than we estimated. It should be worth around 1,400 Treasure Points."
Su Heng said with a smile, handing three World Rings to the others. Each contained an equal share of the Seven Profound Sky Water.
"Not bad. This is a fine start. With this gain, our trip to the secret realm won't have been in vain!"
Kan Deli accepted the World Ring and nodded with a smile.
Though he could create avatars, creating one required energy worth roughly ten Treasure Points.
Ten Treasure Points was a fortune that even an elementary Universe Venerable might not possess!
Therefore, this harvest was already exceptionally good for Kan Deli!
"Hahaha, it is indeed quite good. That's the advantage of a newly opened secret realm. If we came later, there probably wouldn't be so many opportunities left!"
Mist Hammer Venerable was also smiling broadly.
As a venerable from another race, his wealth was far below that of a human venerable of the same rank!
This haul of more than 300 Treasure Points was nearly equivalent to an ordinary set-type supreme treasure!
"Before the Demon Race discovers this secret realm, let's continue exploring it!" Nine Swords Venerable said softly after putting away his World Ring.
Since this secret realm had already appeared within the Primal Universe, countless powerhouses would certainly come to explore it in the future.
The opportunities would only become fewer and fewer!
If they did not seize as many opportunities as possible during this period, they might not have such a good chance again in the future!
As a secret realm with a diameter exceeding one million light-years.
The Yuan Yin Secret Realm was filled with continents, planets, and even lakes suspended in the void!
By then, it had already been Su Heng and the others' fifth year in the Yuan Yin Secret Realm.
However, they had not left the continent at the entrance.
After all, the entire continent spanned more than a thousand light-years!
Since they could not teleport recklessly while searching for opportunities.
Even relying solely on flight and detectors, searching this continent alone would take them a thousand years!
But Su Heng and the others naturally had their own methods.
"It should be here."
Above a towering mountain range, the four of them stepped out of space one after another.
Beside them stood an immortal native from the continent!
This native was not from the Demon Race. Strictly speaking, it belonged to a native race that had newly appeared in the Primal Universe.
The race was not particularly strong, possessing only one Universe Venerable.
While traveling across the continent, Su Heng and the others discovered this native tribe.
Believing that natives would know more information, the four destroyed the race and intended to enslave its members.
However, that Universe Venerable ultimately self-destructed.
Left with no choice, Su Heng and the others could only enslave this King-level Invincible native.
Through the information provided by this native, the four learned that there was a location within this mountain range that was suspected to contain buried treasure.
Thus, they teleported here.
"Let's split up and search. If it's a supreme treasure, we should be able to sense it to some degree!"
Nine Swords Venerable said as he looked at the other three.
This mountain range contained Ancient Beasts comparable to venerables, as well as various dangers. That was why the native race's venerable had not dared to search for treasure here casually.
However, given the strength of the four of them, they naturally had no need to worry. If anything went wrong, they could teleport over to help.
Su Heng and the others nodded, then each flew off in a different direction to begin searching for the "treasure."
The native had only provided an approximate coordinate. To truly find it, they still had to investigate carefully themselves.
"Could it be a supreme treasure?" Su Heng pondered as he flew.
Their first haul, the Seven Profound Sky Water, could only be called extraordinarily lucky. After all, it was a cosmic rarity capable of changing one's fate against the heavens.
Its strategic value was even greater than that of a supreme treasure!
In fact, an ordinary venerable would already be doing well to obtain one or two supreme treasures while exploring a secret realm.
Obtaining a top-tier supreme treasure meant exceptionally good luck!
A top-grade set of supreme treasures would make other venerables incomparably envious!
As for a true treasure? That would be genuinely defying the heavens!
There will be another chapter tomorrow morning, followed by two more tomorrow afternoon. I messed up my sleep schedule these past few days. I woke up at three in the morning today and couldn't fall asleep again, so I'll turn in early tonight and get up early to update tomorrow.
