Rolling the Secret Realm!

Nearly half a day later.

"This should be the place!"

Lin Ye had come here alone. According to the information he had, the Supreme Simplicity Sect's trial secret realm was located here, deep in the Thousand-Leaf Forest. It was 130 kilometers from the Supreme Simplicity Sect, which wasn't too far.

He hid in the shadows and observed the place. The Supreme Simplicity Sect had built a stronghold here, with several Grandmasters stationed to guard it. Clearly, they placed great importance on this secret realm.

The Supreme Simplicity Sect had also built a secret realm gate here. The so-called gate wasn't actually a passage into the secret realm. It merely used the formation on the gate to connect to the secret realm, distorting space at specific times to open a passage inside. That was all.

The Supreme Simplicity Sect had very little control over the secret realm. To gain complete control, they would have to refine the Secret Realm Stone, but even a Great Grandmaster would find that difficult.

All the Supreme Simplicity Sect could do was fix the spatial node of the secret realm to this gate, making it the only entrance. That was the limit of what they could do.

"I can't enter through the secret realm gate. That would mean opening it, and the Supreme Simplicity Sect would know. That Great Grandmaster would definitely come."

He was only at the first stage of the Grandmaster Realm. He definitely couldn't beat that Great Grandmaster, so he would have to do this in secret.

He opened the system shop and bought a talisman—the Space-Breaking Talisman. It could draw on spatial fluctuations to slip into space, and it could also slip into a secret realm.

The talisman was expensive, though, costing 2,000 Devil Dao Points.

"I'll buy it!"

After 2,000 Devil Dao Points were deducted, a Space-Breaking Talisman appeared in his hand.

"Go!"

The Space-Breaking Talisman enveloped Lin Ye's body and instantly carried him through space and into the trial secret realm.

Inside the trial secret realm.

Lin Ye appeared on a mountain. The moment he entered, he felt a mighty force suppressing him, making it somewhat difficult to breathe, but he soon adjusted a little.

"My strength has been suppressed by a huge amount. So this is the power of a secret realm's rules."

Lin Ye began traveling through the secret realm, searching for the Secret Realm Stone.

Suddenly, a third-tier Demon Beast blocked Lin Ye's path and attacked him. It was a late third-tier Striped Tiger, and its strength was fairly decent.

"You're courting death."

Lin Ye's Innate True Qi erupted, instantly suppressing the Striped Tiger and slowing its movements to a crawl.

"If we were outside, the burst of my Qi alone would have shattered every bone in its body. But here, it only slowed it down." Lin Ye casually pointed a finger at the Striped Tiger's head. Blood Demon Finger erupted, instantly piercing its skull and sending it to meet its great-grandmother.

He put the corpse away as well, planning to send it into the Devil Spring later.

"Onward."

Lin Ye didn't know where the Secret Realm Stone was, so he could only search for it slowly. This trial secret realm was called a small third-tier secret realm, but it wasn't all that small.

"This won't do. I still want to get back early and have junior sister give me a massage. I can't waste too much time."

He remembered that he also knew a martial art, the Soul-Searching Instruction. It was an earth-grade martial art that could search a soul's memories. It was somewhat wicked, so he had never used it, but using it on a Demon Beast should be fine.

So he found a peak third-tier Demon Beast and searched its soul directly. The Demon Beast was powerless to resist a Grandmaster's soul search, and he found a few memories.

The Demon Beast didn't know what a Secret Realm Stone was, but it did know of several places it couldn't enter.

"There are three places it couldn't enter. The Secret Realm Stone should be in one of them."

Lin Ye immediately headed for the nearest location and soon arrived. "It's a natural formation."

After entering, he soon came back out. There was a heavenly material or earthly treasure inside, but unfortunately, it wasn't the Secret Realm Stone. He didn't take the treasure. Once he seized the secret realm, it would belong to the Black-Yellow Sect anyway, so he would leave it for the disciples.

"On to the second place."

He soon reached the second place. It was in a valley, and a formation had been laid around the valley—a formation laid by human hands.

"The Secret Realm Stone should be here."

He forcibly broke through the formation and walked in. Sure enough, he saw a huge Secret Realm Stone, roughly ten meters tall and three meters wide. It radiated an ancient presence, and the origin of the entire secret realm resided in this one stone.

Lin Ye sent his Innate True Qi into the Secret Realm Stone and sensed the presence of a Great Grandmaster. That Great Grandmaster of the Supreme Simplicity Sect had refined the stone, but only about one percent of it. No wonder her control over the secret realm was so weak.

"By myself, just erasing the Great Grandmaster's presence from it would take at least half a year. Even if I had decades or centuries, I wouldn't be able to refine it completely."

Was that Great Grandmaster unable to refine the Secret Realm Stone completely? Probably not. It simply took too much time. Would she stop cultivating? Stop trying to break through? All for this one secret realm?

Besides, a Great Grandmaster's lifespan was limited. Once she fell, someone else would have to refine the Secret Realm Stone. Spending a hundred years refining it completely wasn't worth much.

"I still have to rely on the system!"

The system shop sold a talisman called the Secret Realm Refining Talisman, which could speed up the refining of a Secret Realm Stone. It cost 3,000 Devil Dao Points, so it wasn't cheap either.

Of course, this kind of Secret Realm Refining Talisman could only refine lower-level secret realms. It could help refine this trial secret realm.

"I'll buy it."

After this purchase, he had hardly any Devil Dao Points left. But when he thought about how he should receive a large haul of Devil Dao Points once he completed the mission, he grew excited.

With the Secret Realm Refining Talisman in hand, he used it directly and began refining the Secret Realm Stone.

Before long, he had completely erased the Great Grandmaster's imprint of presence from it. Only then did he begin refining the Secret Realm Stone.

One percent, two percent, three percent...

As time passed, Lin Ye refined more and more of the Secret Realm Stone. At ten percent, he was already able to move the secret realm's spatial node. There were only one or a few nodes connecting the secret realm to the world. Moving a node was equivalent to shifting the secret realm just a tiny bit. It was like one ball touching another: the point of contact was in one place, but if one ball moved slightly, the point of contact changed.

He could move the secret realm's node to the Black-Yellow Sect, which was equivalent to moving the ball that was the secret realm over to the sect.

Of course, his control was only at ten percent right now, so it would move very slowly. It might take several months to get it there, so he continued refining the Secret Realm Stone.

Twenty percent!

Thirty percent!

Fifty percent!

Lin Ye refined it quickly, but his Innate True Qi was also being consumed quickly. He had no choice but to devour Spirit Stones to restore it. Finally, three days later, he succeeded in refining the Secret Realm Stone one hundred percent.

"Hahaha, one hundred percent refined! Done!"

He immediately controlled the Secret Realm Stone to move the secret realm, positioning the node at the Black-Yellow Sect.

"Black-Yellow Sect, spatial node, secret realm gate, open!"

Lin Ye took a step and went directly from the secret realm to the Black-Yellow Sect.

"Ah!!!!"

A woman's scream reached Lin Ye's ears, carrying anger, embarrassment, and confusion.
