Another hundred years later, Yan Ling's talent was extraordinary, and she reached the Foundation Establishment Stage first, while Old Man Yan Yan's talent was mediocre. After a hundred years of cultivation, he had only Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer and was already very old.
In his quest for a breakthrough, and hampered by his advanced age and feelings of inferiority, Old Man Yan left a letter one day and quietly departed.
Later, Yan Ling was spotted by Qingyue, the sect leader of the Moon Gazing Sect, who was traveling, and was taken in as her personal disciple.
When Yan Ling learned of Old Man Yan again, it was two hundred years later, around the time of the destruction of the Illusory Demon Sect. Moreover, Old Man Yan had already escaped, but his whereabouts were unknown.
It wasn't until sixteen years later, when Old Man Yan left Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain and took the initiative to send a message to Yan Ling, who was in the Moon Gazing Sect, that the storyline of Yan Ling going to Cloud Province to avenge Old Man Yan took place.
After listening to Yan Ling's words, Ling Yi had a feeling that Old Man Yan hadn't died yet.
Given Old Man Yan's personality, he would never leave Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain there were special circumstances, since his original plan was to live out his days there.
"What did Old Man Yan say when he sent you the message?" Ling Yi asked.
"They only told me the location of the secluded place on Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain and let me take the Illusory Demon Art, but they strictly forbade me from practicing it!"
Sure enough, something's not right. You're almost dead, what's wrong with seeing your lover? It's just to deliver a message? Is Old Man Old Man Yan that stubborn?
Ling Yi was skeptical.
A person's temperament tends to become more stable and mature with age and experience.
Of course, Ling Yi only had a feeling and a guess about the specifics. He didn't care at all whether Old Man Yan was dead or alive, so he didn't discuss the issue with Ling Yi Yan Ling.
Two days later, Yan Ling brought Ling Yi to see Qingyue again.
Behind the Qingyue Sect Master were ten handsome men and beautiful women, all of whom were at the Nascent Soul Stage.
"This is a secret realm token!" The Qingyue Sect Master tossed a black, oval-shaped token to Ling Yi.
"For entering the Star Soul Secret Realm?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, you can't enter without a token."
Ling Yi didn't know why, but he always felt that Xingyue's words were somewhat perfunctory.
He frowned and asked, "Could you tell me more about this Star Soul Secret Realm?"
Let's talk as we walk!
With a wave of her hand, Qingyue conjured a ship-shaped magical Dharma Artifact in the air. As Spiritual Power was channeled into it, it instantly Great Accomplishment a large ship.
"Please board the flying boat!"
Ling Yi nodded, but his doubts only deepened. They'd already brought out the flying boat; was the Star Soul Secret Realm not at the Moon Gazing Sect?
As Qingyue cast a spell to activate the flying boat, she explained to Ling Yi, "The entrance to this Star Soul Secret Realm is in the Eye of Death in Sand Province, and my Moon Gazing Sect isn't the only one that knows about the Star Soul Secret Realm."
"There are three thousand Star Soul Token scattered throughout the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Any cultivator under a thousand years old who possesses a token can enter the Star Soul Secret Realm at a designated time and place."
Ling Yi was speechless. So, after all this fuss, it turns out this Star Soul Secret Realm doesn't belong to your Moon Gazing Sect.
"What's inside the Star Soul Secret Realm?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
Qingyue took a deep breath and said, "Heavenly treasures, cultivation techniques, immortal Immortal Artifact —you can obtain them all if you have enough luck. If you have Karmic Luck and obtain an ancient elixir, you might even become an immortal in one step."
" Immortal Artifact, elixirs, instant immortality?" Ling Yi was a little shocked, but surely it couldn't be that easy?
Some say the Star Soul Secret Realm is another Immortal Cultivation Realm, while others say it's a corner of the Upper Star Soul Secret Realm, and if one can find another entrance, one can directly enter the Immortal Realm.
"But the specifics remain unknown to this day."
After a pause, Qingyue continued, "Once you enter the Star Soul Secret Realm, never reveal your identity easily, otherwise you will surely bring disaster upon the Moon Gazing Sect."
"Most of those who enter the Star Soul Secret Realm are prodigies and powerful figures from super sects, including unparalleled geniuses from the Central Province."
"You think that reaching the Nascent Soul Stage or Spirit Transformation Realm within a thousand years is already very strong, but in the eyes of the geniuses of Central Province, it's still not enough. There are countless people in the Spirit Transformation Realm and Body Integration Realm within a thousand years."
"Moreover, most of these peerless geniuses Wushuang Battle Power, and challenging opponents of higher levels is commonplace for them."
"Therefore, in the secret realm, you should try to keep a low profile and never easily provoke others."
Qingyue spoke these words not only to Ling Yi, but also to the disciples behind her.
"If we encounter a treasure, there will inevitably be a struggle; it seems we can't afford to keep a low profile!"
"Therefore, act according to your ability, do not be reckless, and prioritize survival. If you lose your life, all the treasures you possess will only benefit others."
It seems the most dangerous thing about this Star Soul Secret Realm isn't those Formation Restriction!
The flying boat was a special flying magical artifact, extremely fast. In half a day, it left Sea Province, crossed Mist Province, and arrived at the territory of Sand Province.
After another two hours of flying, we saw the Legend Eye of Death.
From the air, this Eye of Death was exactly like a human eye; even the eyelids, double eyelids, whites, and irises were clearly visible.
But as they got closer, they discovered that the so-called white of the eye was actually a ring of white Gobi desert, while the pupil was an enormous, dark cave.
Many flying boats, like Ling Yi's group, flew into the cave.
The cave was extremely deep and enormous in diameter; it took more than ten minutes of flying before we finally reached the bottom.
Qingyue controlled the flying boat to land in a corner of an open space. After everyone disembarked, she put the flying boat away.
By this time, thousands of cultivators had gathered at the bottom of the cave. They came from different immortal sects, some with more people and some with fewer, forming distinct groups, but they did not communicate with each other at all.
Ling Yi scanned the area and found that most of these people possessed powerful Aura, with over a thousand experts at the Spirit Transformation Realm alone, and several of them even reaching the Body Integration Realm.
These people were dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary air about them; most of them were from Central Province.
After Qingyue arrived, she, like everyone else, fell silent, creating an eerily quiet atmosphere.
Several more hours passed, and more cultivators arrived one after another.
Some of the Later arrivals Aura heavily, while others had bloodstains on their bodies, clearly indicating that they had been through a fierce battle.
It wasn't until evening that they finally gathered three thousand people.
"Hold the token tight, and don't let go!" Qingyue whispered, urging her on.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yi felt the token in his hand begin to Light Emission, followed by a wave of dizziness.
When they came to their senses, they had already arrived in a valley.
Is this the Star Soul Secret Realm? Blue sky, white clouds, sun—it seems no different from the outside world.
"System, check-in!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Star Soul Secret Realm and received the Star Disc as a reward!"
As the system notification sound faded, a palm-sized disc appeared in Ling Yi's hand.
The disc was entirely black, but tiny specks of silver light danced and swirled on it; looking at it for too long gave one a dizzying feeling.
At the same time, a piece of information about the Star Disc appeared in Ling Yi's mind.
After receiving the information from the Star Disc, Ling Yi's expression turned somewhat strange.
This Star Disc has two main functions: one is communication, as wherever starlight shines, there is signal coverage.
A star Star Chart can be crafted using the Star Disc, and the person who possesses the Star Chart can exchange information regardless of where they are or what world they are in.
Each Star Chart has a unique identifier and is one of a kind.
Communication is permitted between the identifiers.
Ling Yi Ling Yi casually channeled his Spiritual Power, and a black cube appeared in his hand.
Isn't this just... a telecommunications service provider and a mobile phone?
Ling Yi stared at the cube in his hand, lost in thought. Perhaps, maybe, he could open a telecommunications company in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, specializing in selling mobile phones?
Once the idea popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore.
However, how exactly it will work will have to wait until we leave the Star Soul Secret Realm.
The second function of the Star Disc is to draw upon the power of the Stellar Transformations Stellar Transformations, which can be used for attack or defense. Theoretically, the attack range of the Stellar Transformations power can cover any place illuminated by starlight.
However, to achieve Precision Strike, Star Chart is needed for navigation.
Anyone who uses the Star Chart can lock onto a target within a radius of three kilometers to attack or defend.

Does the Star Disc count as Divine Ability? I suppose so!
With a thought, Ling Yi sent the Star Disc into his Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness. This thing was somewhat similar to the Sword Heart.
As long as one has enough Spiritual Power, one can refine Star Chart without limit.
If the Star Chart could cover the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, then Ling Yi could use the Star Disc to gain control over the Immortal Cultivation Realm in another way.
Moreover, every piece of information is recorded by the Star Disc of anyone who uses Star Chart.
This Star Disc serves as both a signal relay station and a data server.
Ling Yi looked up at the azure sky. Because of the Star Disc, he could clearly feel the power of the Stellar Transformations between heaven and earth.
In other words, this Stellar Transformations Realm is not an independent secret realm, but a world in itself; it is very likely that this is indeed a corner of the Upper Realm.
Or perhaps, this is a separate little world?
Ling Yi Perception the surroundings and discovered that there was not a trace of Spiritual Qi in the world.
Cultivators, on the other hand, feed on Spiritual Qi in order to maintain their realm and improve their cultivation.
Without Spiritual Qi, a cultivator's cultivation level will drop, and over time they will become A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
Why didn't Qingyue tell me these things?
Or is it that Qingyue has never entered the Star Soul Secret Realm and doesn't know much about it? That seems unlikely.
Ling Yi was filled with doubts. Was Qingyue deliberately keeping quiet, or did she simply not know?
However, none of this mattered to Ling Yi. He had Personal Small World, so he was not lacking in Spiritual Qi. He also had Star Disc, which allowed him to mobilize the power of the Stellar Transformations. Even without Spiritual Qi, he still possessed formidable Combat.
Moreover, his Body-Protecting Thorn Formation was no joke, and Ling Yi was already in an invincible position.
However, Ling Yi seemed to have overlooked an important issue: the opening time of the Star Soul Secret Realm.
Meanwhile, in another forest not far from Ling Yi, Yan Ling was gathering with ten other Nascent Soul Realm disciples from the Moon Gazing Sect.
Yan Ling sighed and murmured, "Master's orders cannot be disobeyed. I only hope that the Final Master's choice is correct, otherwise I'm afraid it will bring a great enemy to the Moon Gazing Sect."
Yan Ling looked up at the sky and said, "I'm sorry!"
