Chapter 722: The Weird Mountain Wall, Refining the Realm Origin

After entering the Universe Secret Realm, Chu Kuangren started causing trouble to the Blood Tribe forces. As such, they were forced to gather and continue their operations under Bai Juexin's protection.

When he was done with them, Chu Kuangren used his Treasure Locating Skill to continue searching for the most valuable treasure inside this Universe Secret Realm.

On this very day.

Chu Kuangren came to a mountain range filled with pink crystals.

Having found a few Wondrous Flowers growing there, he was just about to leave when a strange fluctuation came from somewhere.

That strange fluctuation was incredibly weak.

It even made Chu Kuangren doubt if he was hallucinating.

When he checked the surrounding area with his Treasure Locating Skill, he could not find it anymore. He frowned. "Was I daydreaming just now?"

Chu Kuangren did not believe it.

He then searched around the area using his Treasure Locating Skill a few more times.

After looking around for the eighteenth time, that weak fluctuation appeared once again. Like the first time, it immediately disappeared the next instant.

This was enough proof to Chu Kuangren that there was something strange going on around the area.

"I was right. There seems to be something hidden here, and it's hidden very well. Even the Treasure Locating Skill could barely sense its presence."

"What could it be?"

Chu Kuangren smiled excitedly.

With that, he started searching towards the source of that weak fluctuation.

That weak wave of fluctuation came from the depths of the mountain range. After using his Treasure Locating Skill multiple times, he was led deeper and deeper into the mountain range.

Soon, he arrived at the end of that mountain range.

Before him, there was a gigantic pink crystalized mountain wall.

The source of that strange fluctuation came from this side of the mountain.

However, Chu Kuangren could tell that the pink crystalized mountain wall was similar to the others. There was nothing unique about it.

"My Treasure Locating Skill is picking up something beyond this particular mountain wall. Hm, it looks like there's something weird going on," Chu Kuangren mumbled.

Despite this, he did not simply approach it. "Lil Ai, analyze this crystal mountain wall for me."

"Very well, Master... Connecting to the universe's consciousness... Analyzing the designated target. This side of the mountain comprises spirit crystals, a variety of minerals, and a small amount of iron... Perception isolation detected. It functions as a blockade that prevents anyone from detecting from the outside..."

The information about the crystal mountain wall was displayed before Chu Kuangren one by one. Among them, the information that caught his interest the most was the perception isolation function that prevented anyone from detecting it from the outside!

"Perception isolation... Is it to prevent whatever that's inside the mountain wall from being discovered?" Chu Kuangren touched his chin and guessed.

"Master, the mountain wall possesses a hollow internal structure."

At this time, the Omniscient Spirit Lil Ai's voice resounded in his mind once more.

Chu Kuangren's eyes immediately lit up.

'It's hollow inside.'

'Does that mean a great treasure is hidden in there?!'

Chu Kuangren's Descendant Self Sword unsheathed itself from his waist with a clang and instantly unleashed a surge of purple sword qi towards the mountain wall.

The mountain wall trembled before a few pink crystals shook off and shattered on the ground.

"This wall is certainly tough."

Chu Kuangren could not help but utter in shock. After all, that attack earlier was strong enough to break apart an Emperor Weapon!

However, it was still not powerful enough to break into that mountain wall.

"Lil Ai, where's the weakest point of this mountain wall?"

"According to my analysis earlier, the weakest part of this mountain wall is one meter thick. Based on Master's current level of sword qi, the damage dealt will be insufficient to penetrate it."

"Does that mean I'm going to return empty-handed after all this trouble?"

Chu Kuangren said unwillingly.

"According to my analysis earlier, this mountain wall will soften upon contact with high temperature."

"High temperature..."

Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up. Then, he gently lifted his arm, where a red bundle of Phoenix's Flame appeared in the palm of his hand.

When it came to temperature, what could match the Godly Phoenix's Flame?

"Let loose!" Once he had pinpointed the weakest part of the mountain wall, Chu Kuangren unleashed his Phoenix's Flame towards it.

Upon contact with the Phoenix's Flame, the mountain wall showed signs of softening.

Chu Kuangren then channeled his Emperor qi and Daoist pattern before unleashing a sword attack towards the softening mountain wall. Soon, a hole opened.

Taking this opportunity, his figure flashed and went inside.

The inside of the mountain wall was pink as well.

There was an incredibly large empty space inside.

In front of Chu Kuangren stood a great tree whose branches and leaves were made out of pink crystals. Countless strands of Daoist patterns were swirling around the tree, forming countless crystal clear veins of energy on that great tree.

Chu Kuangren could not help but tremble in excitement at the sight of that great tree. He instinctively knew that he had found a great treasure!

"Lil Ai, analyze this for me."

"Analyzing... Target appears to be a Tier-one Realm Origin..."

Chu Kuangren's mind was soon flooded with information about the Realm Origin. Right now, he was sure that it was a remarkable and priceless treasure!

"The Realm Origin is essentially the core energy of the Secret Realm. If I can refine it, this Secret Realm shall be in my control!"

"Besides this, this Realm Origin also contains an Esoteric Art related to the universal energy, which will be very beneficial to my study and mastery of the miniverse!"

However, when was it ever that easy to refine a Realm Origin? Even a Daoist Celestial might not be able to do it.

Chu Kuangren approached the Realm Origin and placed his hand onto it.

In that instant, all of the veins within that great tree were revealed before him. Within it, countless strands of Daoist patterns were entwined, and it was very mysterious.

If one wished to refine this Realm Origin, one must first unravel the mystery within.

Ordinary cultivators would immediately feel dizzy just by looking at the mystery of that Realm Origin, let alone attempt to figure it out.

However, Chu Kuangren's strongest ability was his cognizance.

"Just because everyone else can't refine it, it doesn't mean that I can't!"

"Hmph! The most valuable treasure in this Secret Realm has been presented before me. How can I possibly let this opportunity slip away!" Chu Kuangren muttered.

He then started to study the Esoteric Art contained within the Realm Origin.

Time went by.

Soon, ten days had passed.

Inside the Secret Realm.

Under Bai Juexin's lead, he and his Blood Tribe cultivators had been excavating the Secret Realm nonstop for treasures during this time. With that, the treasures they found increased.

It had undoubtedly brightened Bai Juexin's mood.

"Hmph, how much treasure can that Firmament Star cultivator possibly find inside the Secret Realm on his own? I bet the treasures he found are not even one percent of ours." Bai Juexin snorted as he sat on a fancy chair.

Behind him, two Blood Tribe beauties who were massaging his back also replied with a chuckle. "That's right, my Prince. He's just a mere Firmament Star human. How can he compare to the likes of us, whose forces are numbered in the millions?"

"That's right. With him alone, obtaining one-thousandth of what we got is already an overstatement, let alone a hundredth."

"Mmhm. Yet I wonder, where is that guy right now?" Bai Juexin uttered. His Emperor Thoughts enveloped the entire Secret Realm searching for Chu Kuangren.

He could not help but frown. "He's missing?"

'Chu Kuangren has disappeared under my detection?'

'Has that guy left the Secret Realm?'

"That's impossible. It'll take the combined force of at least ten High-rank Heavenly Imperials to destroy the barrier of this Secret Realm. There's no way he can leave so easily."

Bai Juexin's Emperor Thought continued spreading all across the Secret Realm as he tried to find Chu Kuangren's whereabouts. However, there was no sign of Chu Kuangren.

'He has certainly disappeared!'

"How is this possible? Does he have some sort of technique to leave the Secret Realm?" After recalling that overpowering spatial technique Chu Kuangren possessed, it did not seem entirely impossible.

At that thought, Bai Juexin's expression immediately turned grim.

He initially assumed that Chu Kuangren had no way to leave this Secret Realm on his own. Hence, he would then focus on obtaining as many treasures, and only after that would he deal with Chu Kuangren. However, Chu Kuangren disappeared just like that!

His plans were disrupted once again.

"D*mn it!"
