"Check-in!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xuan immediately chose to sign in.
Just kidding, not signing in under these circumstances would be the mark of a lunatic.
"Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and obtained the Sealing Realm."
"Used three times."
The system's voice sounded again, but Ye Xuan was filled with doubt.
What is the Sealing Realm?
He genuinely didn't quite understand.
However, after he read the explanation and notes carefully, he immediately became somewhat delighted.
The so-called Sealing Realm was actually an area sealed off out of thin air.
Within this region, even Saint Realm experts will have their cultivation level sealed by one realm, meaning they will automatically drop one level.
As for those below the level of Saint, they are unaffected, but are simply trapped within it.
This thing may seem similar to Rule Suppression, but in reality, the differences are quite significant.
Because the Power of Rules has limitations in terms of distance and time, and it cannot suppress the cultivation of Saint.
Most importantly, once the enemy escapes, they're truly gone, and Ye Xuan will be powerless to stop them.
But this Sealing Realm is different; it not only has no time limit, but it can even suppress the cultivation of Saint.
The most terrifying thing is that the Sealing Realm covers an area of a thousand miles. Once the Sealing Realm is formed, all cultivators who enter Sealing Realm will never be able to leave.
There is only one way for them to escape the Sealing Realm: kill Ye Xuan.
Similarly, Ye Xuan was unable to automatically lift the Sealing Realm.
There is only one way for him to lift the Sealing Realm: to slaughter all hostile beings within it.
Otherwise, he would be trapped in it forever.
"This thing seems to be a double-edged sword, and it's even a bit evil. Why does it give off a villainous vibe?"
As Ye Xuan read on, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
This thing is indeed a trump card, but its drawbacks are also enormous.
Once opened, it will inevitably lead to widespread suffering and destruction.
Even if Saint is suppressed by one realm, he is still Half-Saint.
Ye Xuan was confident he could kill one person at a time, but he would be in serious trouble if there were many.
That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that it can only be used three times, and once it's used, he must kill all the living beings inside.
For example, this time, the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association's Ten Saint Realm have descended.
Of course, now that two have fallen, only eight remain.
If Ye Xuan were to use his Sealing Realm to imprison all eight people inside at once, could he possibly kill them all?
If things go wrong, they might get wiped out by a coordinated attack.
But what if not all eight people are sealed off, but only one or two are sealed off?
Once all three Sealing Realm are exhausted, and he fails to kill the eight people, death awaits him—absolute death.
Therefore, making good use of this Sealing Realm is not easy.
This is different from the Power of Rules. He has used the Power of Rules many times, as many as eighty or ninety times, and can squander it recklessly, at least in the short term.
But this Sealing Realm...
"Ugh, the system is so stingy, only giving me three times? Are you kidding me? Three times isn't enough!"
Ye Xuan was speechless and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
He suddenly remembered the system mission and couldn't help but ask, "What mission? What are the rewards?"
The system voice quickly sounded:
"Mission One: Annihilate the remaining eight Saint Realm of the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association. Reward: Hundred-Year Spirit Essence Spring Water."
"Mission Two: Annihilate the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association and kill Thousand Leaves Merchant Association two leaders. Reward: All resources of the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association, plus five years of cultivation."
Ye Xuan was stunned upon hearing this.
What exactly is this "Centennial Spiritual Marrow Spring"?
How come he's never heard of it before?
Also, how is this five-year cultivation period calculated?
If we take him as the base, it means he will save five years of cultivation time.
Given his current cultivation speed, what level of cultivation will he reach in five years?
They should at least have reached the Saint Realm, right?
If that were true, wouldn't that be an instant ascension to the heavens, allowing one to immediately reach the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but become even more excited.
But when I saw those two tasks, my excitement suddenly cooled, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over my head.
Killing the Eight Great Saint and destroying the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association? What a joke!
Is this system sending me to my death?
Even if he signs up to reach the Sealing Realm three times, that's still far from enough, isn't it?
The first task was relatively simple; it only involved killing the eight Saint Realm experts.
If he uses it properly, relying on the Sealing Realm, his own caution, and his combat strength, it is still possible for him to succeed.
But Ye Xuan didn't even dare to think about the second task.
He only killed Xue Zhaohai, a Peak Half-Saint, and the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association sent ten Saint Realm without hesitation. Heaven knows just how powerful the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association really is.
Those two leaders, they might already be experts who have surpassed the Saint Realm, right?
"Holy crap, this system is a rip-off. It gave me three sign-ins in the Sealing Realm and now it wants me to destroy the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association? That's ridiculous. Are you sure you're not sending me to my death?"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself, his expression shifting constantly between light and dark.
Yue Mei was stunned once again by what she saw.
Has Senior Brother Ye's foolishness relapsed again?
And what did she hear?
The destruction of the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association?
Holy crap, is Senior Brother Ye sure he hasn't gone mad?
Even if someone wants to die, this isn't the way to do it!
"Let's go outside."
Ye Xuan ignored Yue Mei's thoughts, quickly composed himself, and stepped out of the cave.
Upon seeing this, Yue Mei quickly got up and cautiously followed behind.
The two walked for more than ten minutes, remaining silent. They encountered neither demonic beasts nor even cultivators.
Yue Mei couldn't help but cautiously say, " Senior Brother Ye, you're going the wrong way. That's the road to the imperial city."
Ye Xuan didn't turn his head, saying as he walked, "I know, I need to find those ten, oh no, now it should be the eight Great Saint Realm."
Yue Mei's steps faltered, and her face instantly turned ashen.
Oh my god, really?
Senior Brother Ye really going to court death?
She said nervously, " Senior Brother Ye, those are Saint Realm Saint Realm experts, eight of them at that. We can't defeat them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan chuckled dismissively and remained silent.
Yue Mei was nearly driven mad. She thought to herself, "If you're going to die, don't drag me down with you! I don't want to die!"
Seeing Ye Xuan's determined expression, she pouted but ultimately didn't say anything to dissuade him.
So be it, let her die. Anyway, she can't survive without Ye Xuan, so they might as well go and die together.
Ye Xuan walked for a long time but didn't see a single cultivator, which left him somewhat dumbfounded.
He couldn't help but ask, "Have you noticed that there seem to be fewer cultivators chasing us? Has the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association given up?"
