Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Secret Chamber
In the Yin Realm, a desolate, inverted world where only black and white existed.
Shadow stood hunched slightly as it observed the obscene scene of the woman being railed from both ends.
Its white slit eyes glowed faintly under the skull mask.
A long, sharp black finger slowly rose to its chin area, rubbing it in a strangely human-like gesture of fascination, like a silent spectator in a theater of debauchery.
It watched with great interest as Bai Lingyu was vigorously used by the three Golden Core rogue cultivators.
Its white slit eyes flickered with curiosity and a hint of amusement, especially when it noticed the subtle technique Bai Lingyu was secretly using to absorb their yang energy.
But suddenly, Shadow felt something gently nudging its side.
"~~?"
It turned its skull masked head slowly.
Floating right beside it was a small, completely ordinary-looking reddish brick.
...Yet the fact that a brick could float, let alone roam freely inside the Yin Realm, proved it was anything but normal.
At least to it knowledge, nothing except Shadow could survive in the Yin World as even ordinary objects would simply break down due to the difference in their "roots."
It was the Divine Brick.
The reason why they were here is because both had been tasked by Li Feng to investigate this place.
The brick pulsed once with a faint, familiar energy as they communicated.
"~!"
"~..."
The Divine Brick seemed energetic as this was its first sneaky mission, after all.
So right its doesn’t want to waste anymore time here watching a women being railed.
It reminded Shadow not to dally and to start the mission properly.
Shadow seemed to sigh, its hunched shoulders drooping slightly as it was firmly reminded by the brick.
It gave the floating brick a reluctant nod.
Shadow had not forgotten its master’s orders, investigate what was down here.
But if it weren’t for that woman, Shadow would have had to spend quite a lot of time searching for the entrance.
Being in the Yin Realm didn’t mean it could see through everything as it could only phase through matter.
Trying to phase blindly through the ground until it reached the hidden chamber might have taken a day or two.
But with that woman "help", Shadow and the Divine Brick is here in less than an hour.
Soon,
With the Divine Brick floating beside it, the two unusual beings began moving deeper into the underground secret area.
As they silently scouting the layout, formations, and any signs of their master’s missing woman.
Shadow and the Divine Brick moved silently through the inverted black.and white world of the Yin Realm.
However, Shadow quickly ran into one annoying problem...
The Divine Brick, despite its mysterious nature, could not phase through solid matter the same way Shadow could.
Whenever they encountered a thick wall or a powerful formation barrier, Shadow had to slip through alone, scout the area quickly, then return to guide or assist the brick.
If there was a door or mechanism, Shadow would briefly emerge into the real world, silently open it from the inside, and let the floating brick pass through before hiding again.
This made their exploration slower and more cautious than Shadow had hoped.
Still, they pressed on.
One of the reasons Li Feng wanted the Divine Brick to tag along was so that if they really found Fen Ziyan, the brick could absorb her and safely retreat back into the Yin Realm.
After all, their goal wasn’t to cause a ruckus or fight.
The deeper they went, the more complex the underground structure became.
Multiple layers of restrictive formations glowed faintly even in the Yin Realm as even Shadow could tell it is a powerful barriers designed to detect intruders.
Shadow carefully navigated around the more sensitive ones while the Divine Brick floated beside it.
They passed several smaller chambers that contained strange bottles of red essence stuck to the walls, but there was no sign of the woman their master sought.
And the further they ventured, the darker and more sinister the atmosphere grew.
The walls themselves seemed to pulse with faint, strange light, and the restrictive formations became denser, layered on top of one another like a deadly spider’s web.
If Li Feng had come here himself, even with his talent, it would have taken considerable effort to pass each one silently.

Finally,
After sometime, Shadow and the Divine Brick arrived at a strange dead end.
"~~?"
The Divine Brick floated around, trying to find more rooms or hidden doors, but after a full inspection, it found nothing.
It really did seem like a dead end, which only made them more confused.
The entire underground area was strangely well-guarded, yet so far all they had found were strange bottles of red essence sealed away.
There was no sign of the princess anywhere.
Shadow tilted its head, its white slit eyes narrowing under the skull mask.
Its long black claw rose once more to rub its chin thoughtfully.
Something felt off.
The Divine Brick pulsed with clear irritation, and Shadow silently agreed as the two communicated.
After seemingly having no clue what to do next, the Divine Brick started floating back the way they came, clearly eager to leave so its could smack those three cultivator and interrogate them.
However, Shadow suddenly raised its sharp black hand in a "wait" gesture.
It stared intently at the dead-end wall, its white slit eyes glowing brighter.
After a moment of silence, Shadow slowly drifted closer to the wall and began scanning it carefully, its black claw circling the surface while tracing faint energy lines invisible to normal eyes.
The Divine Brick stopped and floated back, pulsing curiously.
"~~?"
Shadow nodded slowly, communicating with a few quick pulses that there might be a hidden space behind this dead end.
It raised its sharp black claw and pointed at a seemingly ordinary section of the wall.
Without hesitation, Shadow leaned forward and attempted to phase through the stone.
But the moment its body touched the wall—
Shiiing!
The entire dead-end wall suddenly lit up with sinister vein-like crimson glows, resembling pulsing blood vessels.
"—!!"
And Shadow felt... something is looking straight at it.
