I can find treasures in my dreams.
Chapter 782 The Law of Power
In fact.
The account of the events told to Livin by the Yadina Grand Festival had already been deliberately embellished and downplayed.
The shock and panic caused by the sudden appearance of the Secret Realm Phone Card at the Moon Spirit Temple was a hundred times more intense than described, almost shaking the very foundation of the temple.
at that time.
The outermost defensive barrier of the Moon Spirit Temple is being managed in rotation by three high priests specializing in defensive secret arts.
This barrier was meticulously crafted by successive holy priests with countless efforts, integrating the power of the Soul Moon with the origin of the world. It is said to be able to withstand the frenzied attacks of three high-level Venerable-level powerhouses, making it the most solid barrier of the Moon Spirit Civilization.
Just as the faint aura of the secret realm phone card touched the barrier, the three Grand Priests were simultaneously jolted. The Soul Moon Crystal pendants on their wrists emitted a rapid warning light. Almost instinctively, they opened their eyes, their divine senses instantly locking onto the suddenly appearing illusory light and shadow.
"Capture it!"
A high-ranking priestess, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold, clear light, shouted without hesitation.
The entire outer barrier instantly lit up with a dazzling silver light, and countless threads, like moonlight, surged out from the barrier, weaving into a huge chain net that covered the entire secret realm.
At the same time, three condensed, almost tangible streams of Soul Moon power erupted from the three nodes of the barrier, precisely locking onto the card in an attempt to imprison it.
next moment.
An exceptionally powerful supernatural force condensed into a strange, physical crescent moon, sealing the illusory card within.
Thousands of chains dragged the crescent moon into the sealed space at the bottom of the Moon Spirit Temple.
The three grand priests immediately smiled.
But her smile immediately froze.
At the spot where the card first appeared, faint ripples appeared in the space, and another card suddenly materialized.
Like the captured card, this card features an antique telephone on its surface.
Of course, the Moon Spirit Civilization did not have telephones, and the three Grand Priests only thought it was a strange-looking thing.
Another moment passed.
The card that was sealed in the crescent moon has disappeared.
The priests understood perfectly well that their previous capture attempt had been a complete waste of energy.
soon.
The secret realm phone card flashed and, in a bizarre and incomprehensible way, instantly pierced through the defensive barrier surrounding the temple.
"How is this possible?!" A high priest stood up abruptly in shock, his silver-gray eyes filled with disbelief.
"Destroy it!"
Another Grand Priest decisively changed his strategy.
Subsequently.
A terrifying torrent of energy erupted.
Many of these attacks are so powerful that even a beginner Venerable would avoid them and dare not confront them head-on.
However, all the attacks that landed on the Secret Realm Phone Card only resulted in the same bizarre outcome—the card turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished without a trace the moment the attack touched it.
In the blink of an eye, the illusory card reappeared in the same spot, continuing its journey deeper into the core of the Moon Spirit Temple.
No matter how the Grand Festivals adjusted their attack angles or increased their attack intensity, they couldn't inflict any damage on the card and could only watch helplessly as it swept through their territory.
No defense could stop it even for a moment.
finally.
The secret realm phone card floated above the central altar in the first council hall.
The thirteen core priests who held the highest power in the Moon Spirit Temple, the knights revered as the "Holy Favor Priests," had eyes filled with intense fear.
The Moon Spirit Temple, which countless Moon Spirits were so proud of, was easily breached by a card of unknown origin.
Just as the first grand ceremony was about to begin, Namini was preparing to issue the order to "evacuate the entire temple."
Her High Priestess Binas, one of only two Venerable Ones in the Moon Spirit Civilization, suddenly issued a decree ordering the High Priests to immediately initiate the Moon Revelation Ritual and search for the aura of a Temple Guard warrior from the cards.
After the ceremony was completed, the priests were shocked to discover that the card could actually contact a guard who had been swallowed by the secret realm.
At this moment.
The atmosphere in the first council chamber was as heavy as iron.
Including the Yadina Grand Ceremony, the thirteen Holy Favor Grand Ceremony consorts formed a circle around the central altar.
Their gazes were fixed on the illusory card, painted with a strange antique telephone, floating silently a meter above the altar.
Each of the Holy Favor Grand Ceremony Priests is covered with a set of Holy Moon Battle Armor formed from pure world power.
These battle armors are entirely silver-white, with a faint moon halo flowing across their surface, and a hazy, indistinct image of a holy moon reflected on their backs.
With this item, the Holy Favor Ceremony is fully capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a low-level Venerable, and may even be able to counterattack calmly and retreat unscathed.
Faced with this seemingly insignificant and harmless illusory card, the Thirteen Holy Favor Grand Ceremony Priests had no confidence whatsoever.
Yadina Grand Festival extended a fair right hand and gripped the receiver with a nervous and uneasy expression.
The receiver felt icy cold to the touch, and the dark brown leather telephone wire at the end meandered and coiled as if it were alive, precisely connecting to the virtual telephone body in the card.
No one can explain how this seemingly nonexistent circuit came to be; it just seems extremely bizarre.
Just moments ago.
Without warning, the receiver emerged from the image on the card and hovered half a foot above the altar, startling all thirteen priests of the Holy Favor Ceremony.
Before anyone could react, a clear female voice came through the receiver and reached everyone's ears:
"My name is Livin, and I come from the Longyue Thirty-One World Cluster of the Longyue World Domain..."
"A few days ago, two Venerable-level powerhouses from our world group joined forces in an attempt to forcibly enter the Sunken Sand Abyss Secret Realm..."
"Based on the intelligence obtained by this civilization, it is highly likely that the two Venerable Ones are trapped in the secret realm..."
This was actually a conversation between the Moon Spirit Warrior and Yang Donglin, which was being played out by the antique telephone.
During the First Grand Ceremony, Namini couldn't help but ask, "Who is Livin?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yadina's mind. She took a few steps forward, approached the receiver, and tentatively asked, "Is this Livin?"
The high priest suddenly remembered that he had summoned more than a dozen temple guards a few days ago, and the voice of one of the female warriors sounded exactly like the voice on the receiver.
It was this question that initiated this magical communication that transcended secret realms and spanned world regions.
At this time.
Livin's voice came through the receiver again: "Your Excellency, Grand Priestess Yadina, what are your orders? What does the temple need me to do?"
Yadina took a deep breath and spoke rapidly: "Livin, what the temple needs most right now is all the information about the Fallen Abyss Secret Realm, such as the environment, rules, monsters encountered, etc. The more detailed the better!"
She paused, her tone suddenly becoming serious: "You may not know this, but so far, the number of people within the Moon Spirit Civilization who have been swallowed by the secret realm and mysteriously disappeared has exceeded three million!"
"In just a few days, the number of missing persons has continued to rise rapidly. Any information about the secret realm could be the key to our response to this crisis and could save the lives of more of our compatriots!"
"Ah—!" came Livin's exclamation through the receiver, her voice filled with disbelief, "So many?!"
She clearly remembered that before she entered the secret realm, the temple reported that the number of missing persons was less than 30,000. In just a few days, the number had increased a hundredfold!
After a moment of silence.
Livin's tone became somewhat hesitant, with a hint of inquiry that was barely perceptible, as if she were listening intently to the guidance of the person beside her: "Your Excellency... it seems there is a way to transmit the images from the secret realm... I'll try to do it, please wait a moment."
"What?!" Yadina looked up abruptly, her eyes instantly gleaming with undisguised surprise. "You can transmit images? That's wonderful!"
As the leader of the Longyue Thirty-One World Cluster, the Moon Spirit Civilization has fifteen Venerables under its command, a number that is considered above average among the surrounding world clusters, demonstrating its formidable strength.
In order to unravel the secrets of the Fallen Sand Abyss, these fifteen Venerables studied the fluctuations of the laws within the abyss day and night, expending countless resources and effort.
Despite their efforts over the past few days, they haven't been able to transmit images or even establish stable communication.
It even resulted in the loss of two Venerable Ones, plunging the entire world into immense panic.
Who would have thought that a member of the Temple Guard, who was merely a high-ranking warrior, could not only communicate with the Temple in real time but also transmit images with the help of this magical card, achieving something that even fifteen Venerables working together could not do.
This is simply a miracle!
Other members of the Holy Favor Ceremony also showed expressions of surprise. Many of them moved closer, clearly wanting to see the images inside the mysterious secret realm up close.
Just a moment.
"Om~"
A slight sound suddenly came from the receiver, and the vibration traveled from her fingertips throughout Yadina's entire body.
A fine crack suddenly appeared on the originally perfectly sealed brass receiver.
A beam of clear, bright light burst forth from the gap, suddenly spreading out in the air and instantly transforming into a light screen several meters wide, the scene so clear it felt like being there in person.
The vast, boundless gray-brown Gobi Desert, the distinct black and white sky, the jagged rocks scattered everywhere, and the grotesque stone carvings were all presented to the thirteen holy figures in the Grand Ceremony.
This bizarre and unbelievable sight caused even the seasoned knights to hold their breath.
The images on the screen slowly changed, and Li Wen's clear but slightly nervous voice came through the receiver.
"Your Excellencies, the dangers of the secret realm do not only exist at night."
She never dreamed that she would be able to explain her experiences in the secret realm to the thirteen most revered priests of the highest level of civilization in such a way. What an honor, and what pressure it was!
"After surviving the perilous night, the Gobi Desert is equally fraught with danger during the day. Every three hours or so, a terrifying super sandstorm sweeps across the land, devouring all living things."
The images on the light screen suddenly changed, showing a scene of a massive sandstorm raging.
"Ugh——!"
A howling wind, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, emanated from the light screen, like thousands of thunderclaps exploding simultaneously.
Even more strangely, despite the fact that there were no sand dunes in the Gobi Desert, countless yellowish-brown sand grains poured down from the sky without warning.
Wherever the sand waves passed, those hard, iron-like rocks and stone carvings seemed to be frantically sliced by countless invisible blades. Their edges melted and cracked at a visible speed, eventually turning into dust and disappearing completely into the sea of sand.
“Usually, a sandstorm lasts for about an hour before it subsides,” Liwen’s voice rang out at the right moment. “But once the sandstorm ends, the original rubble and stone sculptures will reappear randomly.”
"The entire Gobi Desert is like a completely different map; all the survival experience I had accumulated before becomes useless, and I have to find new shelter every night..."
The thirteen holy figures listened intently to the grand ceremony.
With just this fleeting understanding, they clearly realized that the danger of this boundless Gobi Desert far exceeded their imagination. For the chosen warriors, the survival rate was probably less than one in a thousand.
At the very top of the Moon Spirit Temple, there is a sacred altar suspended in the moonlight.
Her Majesty Binas, the highest priestess of the Moon Spirit Civilization and a super strong person at the mid-level Venerable level, stood quietly.
Her full head of silver hair cascaded down her shoulders like moonlight, her skin glowed with a luminous sheen, and her pale silver eyes were as deep as the night. She was surrounded by layers of tangible moonlight gauze, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at her, yet she exuded an indescribable mysterious pressure.
Beneath the altar lay the vast and boundless territory of the Moon Spirit civilization, where countless lights shone like a galaxy under the moonlight.
Pina lowered her eyes slightly, gazing at the direction of the first council hall below, and said softly, "The energy fluctuations and spatial tearing method of the cards descending into the temple are exactly the same as the traces left when the guardian warrior Livin was dragged into the secret realm."
She slowly raised her head, gazing up at the pure white holy moon in the sky, a hint of admiration and solemnity flashing in her eyes: "I never imagined that someone could understand the core laws of the secret realm, or even master the method of utilizing it."
"And by using the laws of the secret realm to achieve cross-domain ultra-long-distance communication, this is not only a brilliant idea at the level of genius, but also reveals an astonishing audacity."
To be praised in this way by a mid-level Venerable is already extremely high praise.
Binas paused, and the veil of moonlight surrounding the altar suddenly vanished. Her words carried a hint of inquiry and warning: "Aren't you afraid of being devoured by the primal power of the Abyss of Despair, completely swallowed up, and permanently lost in its deepest depths, by your reckless use of the power of the secret realm?"
Pinas uttered a few words in a pause, her voice seemingly transcending time and space, reaching into the unknown distance:
"Your Majesty the Ghost!"
For the Thirteen Holy Favors Grand Ceremony, the Secret Realm Phone Card is an unprecedented and magical window.
But for Her Majesty Pina, the card held a completely different meaning; it was an invitation from a distant, unknown land.
The fluctuations of laws when the card pierced through the temple's defenses, and the energy flow during the inter-domain communication, were all sending her a signal—a powerful being was using the power of the secret realm to extend an invitation to her and the entire Moon Spirit Civilization.
The voice just fell.
The bright moonlight suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
Without the roar of an energy burst or the strange phenomenon of space tearing apart, a blurry figure appeared out of thin air in the moonlight halo hundreds of meters in front of the altar in a way that almost "ignores the rules".
His silhouette was faintly visible in the moonlight, as if he had blended into the moonlight. A faint gray mist surrounded him, obscuring his exact appearance, yet he exuded a composure that transcended the laws of heaven and earth.
Binas's pupils suddenly contracted, and the power of the Soul Moon within her body instantly tightened.
As a mid-level Venerable, her perception had long covered the entire star field, but she only caught a glimpse of the figure's aura when it was fully revealed.
What alarmed her even more was that she only understood the surface of the way the other party appeared. It was an extremely powerful method that combined the laws of space, soul, and secret realm, far exceeding her understanding of power.
This person is none other than Mr. Ghost, the incarnation of Yang Fan.
He stood in the moonlight, his figure blurred, yet one could sense a gentle smile emanating from him.
He nodded slightly and bowed to Pinas on the altar, his movements composed and unhurried: "Your Majesty Pinas, it is an honor to meet you for the first time!"
Binas's tone was subtle: "Your Majesty, I should be the one who feels honored. I haven't seen such a powerful descent technique in a long time."
Yang Fan didn't stand on ceremony and got straight to the point: "In three days, a violent collision of laws will occur within the Abyss of Despair, at which time the barrier between the secret realm and the real world will be temporarily weakened."
"I have an idea. Perhaps we can gather the power of a group of Venerables and work together to build a stable spatial portal to the secret realm. This would be of great help in resolving the crisis in the secret realm."
"what?!"
Her Majesty Binas's breath hitched. The composure and majesty that had always been in her pale silver moon eyes were completely shattered, replaced by unbelievable shock.
As a mid-level Venerable who had personally experienced the essence of the laws, she knew better than anyone how terrifying the difficulty of "establishing a portal to the secret realm" was.
The Lost Abyss was not formed naturally, but evolved from the remains of ancient gods who fell in the distant past. It contains a deep-seated, all-encompassing "powerful law".
Whether it's the Longyue World Domain where the Moon Spirit Civilization resides, the living space of other civilizations, or even the vast Primordial World, they all essentially belong to the "weak law" region.
Establishing a portal to the secret realm is tantamount to forcibly tearing open a gap leading to a region governed by "strong laws" in the real world governed by "weak laws".
This is by no means a simple tear in space, but rather a violent clash between two systems of laws.
Strong laws will instinctively erode and devour weak laws. If you are not careful, not only will the gate collapse instantly, but it may also trigger a backlash from the laws, turning thousands of miles of land into scorched earth, or even expanding the erosion range of the secret realm several times over.
Let alone trying it, even just thinking about it is terrifying.
This is beyond what can be described as "defying the heavens"; it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is "challenging the very foundation of the laws of heaven and earth."
She never expected that this mysterious, seemingly appearing ghostly ruler would utter such a groundbreaking suggestion right from the start. (End of Chapter)
