The appearance of the Golden Behemoth Skeleton made Zhao Yi even more curious about the mysterious Treasure Tower Secret Realm.
Zhao Yi originally thought this Secret Realm was just like the others in the Great Xia, all Secret Realm Worlds born after the "spirit" falls.
But now it seems, the Treasure Tower Secret Realm is not so simple.
Zhao Yi has "found" many Secret Realms over the years, and all the creatures in the Secret Realms can be found in the Cultivation World, the only difference being the quantity.
However, the Treasure Tower Secret Realm is different.
Neither the Lizardmen, the Mammoth Warrior, nor the Golden Behemoth are creatures of the Cultivation World.
Zhao Yi looked at the various strange-shaped bones in the distant plaza, and it was obvious that these Otherworldly creatures were not limited to these three kinds.
Most importantly, all the internal spaces of the Secret Realms Zhao Yi holds are the same, with no variation based on the person.
This Treasure Tower can show different scenes according to different people, a transformation Zhao Yi had never seen before.
"What are you thinking about?" Miaoyin came to Zhao Yi's side.
Zhao Yi explained, "I was thinking about how those creatures from the Otherworld came here. This Treasure Tower should not just be a simple Secret Realm; I suspect it might be a portal connecting to other Plane Worlds. Even if it's not a portal, it should be something like a Plane Anchor, guiding creatures from other Planes to descend into the Cultivation World."
Miaoyin also had such suspicions.
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, she nodded, "The first time I saw this plaza, I suspected it might be an ancient battleground, where creatures from other worlds descended here and besieged those strange and peculiar creatures in the center."
After Miaoyin finished speaking, she quickly analyzed, "According to the pheromones left on-site, the ultimate victors of that ancient battle should be those creatures from other worlds around."
"Because you mentioned before, those Skeleton Warriors are Undead Creatures controlled by Undead Mages from the Magic World."
"That creature was so powerful that innumerable top groups from other worlds had to pile it up with their lives. If they still had survivors, it's impossible they wouldn't seek revenge."
"Since there are still combat Rules left by the Undead Mages, it indicates that the Magic World still exists, so those creatures should have been completely annihilated."
Upon saying this, Miaoyin looked solemn, "Though we don't know what standards those Undead Mages have set, this Treasure Tower Secret Realm has existed for so many years, and those monks from the Buddhist Sect have entered many times without incident, yet as soon as we entered, these Undead Skeletons immediately targeted us, indicating that those from the Otherworld are enemies, not friends to us!"
Zhao Yi nodded, Miaoyin's guess coincided with his thoughts.
Zhao Yi even thought further.
The Zhao clan disciples breaking through from Tier Nine Saint King Realm to Tier Ten Void Realm, the final Purple Sky Divine Thunder of the Celestial Destiny Tribulation inevitably appears, making it hard not to suspect someone is deliberately targeting them!
"No wonder the protagonist became the Lord of the Immortal Alliance in the original story." Zhao Yi's gaze was solemn.
The Zhao clan's enemies were involved with other Plane Worlds, and they seemed to be the enemies of all Plane Worlds.
Such a grand scene is something only the heavens' favored child can handle!
Miaoyin didn't see the flash of unusual color in Zhao Yi's eyes.
She looked at the peculiarly shaped giant skeleton in the center of the plaza, suddenly having a wild thought, "Zhao Yi, do you think that thing in the center might be the Red Gold True Dragon that your Zhao clan's ancestors have been seeking?"
"The possibility is extremely low." Zhao Yi shook his head.
"This Secret Realm has existed for over ten thousand years, the Zhao clan's ancestors only established the Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago, with at least ten thousand years in between."
"When that giant beast died in battle here, the Zhao clan's ancestors might still have been in that savage tribe, eating raw meat and hiding in the thickets!"
Miaoyin shrugged, looking at the two Golden Behemoth Skeleton Warriors standing up again, analyzing:
"The resurrection time of the Golden Behemoth Skeleton Warriors has lengthened!!"
"The Tier Eight Undead Warrior's resurrection time is ten breaths, while the Tier Nine's resurrection time increased fivefold, to a full fifty breaths."
"If we follow this pattern, when the Tier Ten Void Realm Undead Creatures revive, we can rush through this plaza during the gap!"
Zhao Yi nodded, signaling her to step back, then prepared to advance and face those two Golden Behemoth Skeleton Warriors.
Previously, when the small Skeleton recovered, Zhao Yi's physical body was refined to a new realm once again.
Zhao Yi could feel that this time's enhancement did not break the limits of the Tier Nine Saint King Realm because he didn't have the feeling of being completely reborn that he had after the previous physical breakthrough.
Zhao Yi felt that his strength increased significantly; exactly how much was hard to judge, so testing it on the Golden Behemoth Skeleton Warriors was just the right thing.
After the two Golden Behemoth Skeletons revived, they didn't pause at all, their massive golden fists breaking the sound barrier, with a series of explosive booms, they smashed towards Zhao Yi's vital points!
Bang! Bang!
Zhao Yi raised his hands and easily blocked the two Golden Skeletons.
This engagement immediately gave him a clear assessment of the changes in his body.
Zhao Yi's strength was already greater than that of the Golden Skeletons, about 2.5 times stronger.
So when Zhao Yi faced the first Golden Behemoth Skeleton hastily, he remained immovable, while the Golden Behemoth Skeleton retreated half a step.
After the enhancement by the small Skeleton, Zhao Yi's strength was now about 4.5 to 5 times that of the Golden Behemoth Skeleton.
Such an overwhelming strength now allowed Zhao Yi to easily fend off the attacks of the Golden Behemoth Skeleton!
Crack!
Zhao Yi exerted force, directly ripping off the arms of the two Golden Behemoth Skeletons.
With a 2.5 times strength difference, Zhao Yi could only slowly hammer them, with a 4.5 times difference, he could directly smash them with great force!
The enhancement in strength led to a sharp change in speed.
Zhao Yi forcefully pressed the ground with his feet, shattering the bluestone floor into powder, and like a flash of lightning, he instantly appeared behind the two Golden Behemoth Skeletons, grabbing each by the cervical bone.
Zhao Yi's hands exerted strength, instantly producing a harsh metal grinding sound.
Bang! Bang!
The golden skull, as large as a millstone, fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Miaoyin quickly stepped forward, her fingers forming claws, and directly extracted two clumps of azure Soul Fire from the golden skull, then stuffed them into the small skeleton's jade-like, smooth skull.
Pop!
The small skeleton was immediately pressed flat.
However, this time its bones didn't fall apart; it simply lay flat on the ground, transforming from a three-dimensional skeleton frame into a two-dimensional skeletal drawing.
The small skeleton's Soul Fire wasn't squeezed by the blue Soul Fire this time. The jade-colored Soul Fire stood firm amidst the surging blue flames, greedily devouring the vast amount of blue Soul Fire like a bottomless pit.
Then, Zhao Yi's Divine Soul grew once more, and his physical body was continuously tempered.
At last, he gradually felt a sense of perfection rising within his heart.
As if unexpectedly blessed, Zhao Yi knew he was about to reach perfection in the Tier Nine Saint King Realm.
Miaoyin was the first to notice Zhao Yi's anomaly.
It wasn't that she discerned Zhao Yi's realm, but rather sensed a threat originating from biological instinct emanating from him.
Just by standing there, Miaoyin's sensory system kept sounding alarms at him, urging her to distance herself from the terrifying presence before her.
"Zhao Yi, have you grown stronger again?"
Miaoyin suppressed the shock in her heart, her eyes flickering as she turned her gaze to the small skeleton lying on the ground, her face showing a thoughtful expression.
Miaoyin wasn't a fool who only read books blindly.
Everything she read and learned became her experience, expanding her knowledge and vision.
Upon discovering Zhao Yi's transformation, Miaoyin immediately thought of the small skeleton.
She glanced at the small skeleton, then turned her eyes to the scattered white bones everywhere, her eyes flashing with a terrifying brilliance.
"Zhao Yi, I also want a pet like this!"
Miaoyin tugged at Zhao Yi's sleeve, pouting like a little girl.
Just as Zhao Yi understood Miaoyin, Miaoyin also understood him.
Without waiting for Zhao Yi to speak, Miaoyin directly raised her hand in swear: "I just want to practice like you, I promise not to do anything weird with them."
After speaking, she clasped her hands together, pleading with a flattering tone: "Please, considering how hard I usually practice, just agree, okay!"
Zhao Yi: "..."
He was just about to speak when suddenly he felt a tremor in his Divine Soul, an unprecedented sensation surged through his heart, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face, filling his heart with a sense of rebirth-like emotion.
"Did I make a breakthrough?" Zhao Yi instantly became overjoyed.
He was about to share this good news with Miaoyin when that feeling that made him brim with tears suddenly stopped abruptly.
Did it stop?
Can this even end halfway?
A breakthrough was made, but not a complete one!
This feeling was like being on the verge, nearly driving Zhao Yi insane.
The next second, with a thought, his Divine Soul entered the Divine Sense World.
With each growth of Zhao Yi's Divine Soul, the Divine Sense World expanded repeatedly.
As the Divine Sense World expanded, the "Ling" and "Gu" of the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes correspondingly shrank, and Zhao Yi was already able to see their full appearance.
However, this wasn't what Zhao Yi focused on.
When his Divine Soul arrived at the Divine Sense World, he immediately noticed the center of the world, a black seed resembling a sunflower seed.
The seed was jet black, clearly only the size of a fingernail, yet it exuded an aura no weaker than those two towering deities.
"What is this thing?"
Zhao Yi asked, puzzled as he looked at the black seed.
"That's the Secret Realm Seed that emerged after the downfall of that unfortunate altar spirit!"
The Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes "Ling" seemed to have reached some deal with "Gu", seeing "Gu" having no intention of speaking, took the initiative to clarify for Zhao Yi.
The Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes said: "'Ling' dies and the Secret Realm is born, just like the world outside this tower, which was born after my downfall."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi was momentarily stunned: "You said this Secret Realm was born after your downfall? Then what about this tower? How did this tower come to be?"
The Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes said: "That I do not know! According to your human race's way of speaking, this Secret Realm is equivalent to my corpse! I have perished, so how could I possibly know what people did with my corpse?"
Zhao Yi: "...You make a very good point! Forget it, continue on, how did the Altar Spirit's Secret Realm end up in my Divine Sense Space?"
Hearing this, the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes glanced up at "Gu", with thousands of crimson eyes simultaneously showing a wary expression.
"After 'Ling' falls, the newly born Secret Realm should be random."
"But that entity intervened, forcibly seizing and refining the Secret Realm into this seed."
"That entity wants you to break your physical limits so that you possess extraordinary power to merge with this seed. However, it doesn't want you to fully breakthrough, aiming to lay a solid foundation for the New World!"
Saying this, the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes "Ling" looked at Zhao Yi with thousands of bleeding eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
"The Ancient Race truly hasn't changed even a bit, even after hundreds of thousands of years, despite only having instinctive consciousness left, they still protect their own so fiercely!"
