I can find treasures in my dreams.

An hour passed quickly amidst continuous spatial jumps and battles.

As yet another batch of stubborn stone generals shattered into pieces, Yang Donglin's team had already won the twelfth batch of bravery badges.

Wu Dingtian quickly raised his hand to catch the badge that floated towards him, his fingertips touching the rough stone surface.

With a soft "pop," the badge transformed into wisps of black mist that seeped into his skin. A surge of power of law instantly swept over his entire body and quietly seeped into his soul.

The bronze mirror with the ghost head floating beside him suddenly lit up, its pale golden surface reflecting his latest attribute panel:
Physical Strength: 1275

[Spirit value: 1076]

In just one hour, both attributes increased by dozens of points. Such an increase would be astonishing even in a resource-rich Venerable Civilization.

But Wu Dingtian suddenly fell into a strange state—his eyes were blank, he lost all focus, and the energy around him became erratic, as if his soul and body were temporarily disconnected.

Yang Donglin instantly sensed something was wrong, his sharp gaze fixed firmly on Wu Dingtian.

A few seconds later.

Wu Dingtian suddenly came to his senses, a clear, dark yellow glint flashing in his eyes.

He blinked hard a few times, his tone tinged with disbelief and disorientation: "My perception... seems to have improved significantly."

He paused, closed his eyes, and focused his senses for a moment. His tone was filled with great surprise: "Lieutenant Colonel Yang, you should know that I cultivate rock-based abilities. The unique environment of the secret realm is very suitable for my abilities."

"Previously, I could only sense movements up to ten kilometers away, but now I can clearly sense situations thirty kilometers away, and even detect things hundreds of meters underground!"

In such a short period of time, the range of perception tripled from ten kilometers to thirty kilometers. This leap is nothing short of miraculous.

A knowing glint flashed in Yang Donglin's eyes, and he said with certainty, "General Wu, it seems you have successfully condensed your Mind Source Sea."

The Mind Source Sea greatly enhances perception and makes one extremely sensitive to supernatural forces.

Once fluctuations in laws or a dangerous aura appear in the surrounding area, corresponding ripples will be generated within the Source Sea as a warning.

This is one of the core foundations of the Knight level.

Long Xingyun looked at Wu Dingtian with increasing envy: "Old Wu, you've already stepped one foot into the knighthood! You have Yuan Gang, and your Mind Source Sea is complete. All that's left is to refine and transform it!"

Wu Dingtian took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and his tone became much calmer: "No wonder the secret manual clearly states that only by advancing to the rank of knight can a superhuman truly possess the ability to survive in the primordial perilous land. Now I truly understand that."

Livin stood quietly to the side, watching the Azure Warriors condense Yuan Gang and forge a Mind Source Sea in a short period of time, pushing open the Knight's Gate at an unbelievable speed, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Breaking through the second barrier effortlessly—this jaw-dropping speed would be among the top in a world group or even a world domain, wouldn't it?
She gazed at the Sky Shuttle suspended in mid-air, her silver-gray eyes filled with fervor.

The value of this thing is comparable to a legendary artifact!
An impulse to "bring it back to the Moon Spirit Civilization would greatly increase the strength of the race" grew wildly in her heart.

But Livin quickly suppressed her wild thoughts.

"General Wu."

Yang Donglin's voice rang out at the right time, his tone somewhat solemn: "Your improvement speed is too fast. The surge in your spirit value and Yuan Gang is very likely to trigger the awareness of the secret realm. For safety reasons, I need to send you back to Canglan Star immediately."

Wu Dingtian readily agreed, nodding and saying, "No problem!"

His mind was completely focused on becoming a knight, and he had no interest in continuing the hunt.

With a thought, Yang Donglin summoned the gilded soul card album.

A card engraved with the name of an ancient stone gate flashed out from the card book.

With a soft "hum," the surrounding light dimmed abruptly, and night fell once more. The mottled, ancient stone door slowly emerged once more from the thick darkness.

"when--!"

A deep, muffled bang resounded, as if the very space itself was trembling.

The stone door slowly opened a crack inward, and the outline of the spatial passage faintly appeared in the darkness.

Liwen's pupils contracted slightly as she instantly sensed something amiss—this time, the spatial passage was several times wider than before!
A sudden realization dawned on her: "The powerful Azure Venerable behind the master has probably made another major improvement to the spatial passage!"
"This Venerable One's understanding of the laws of space is probably far deeper than that of other Venerable Ones, which is why he can repeatedly exploit loopholes in the laws of the secret realm, and even make these 'loopholes' bigger and bigger!"

"Oh!"

With another muffled thud, the stone door swung open completely.

Unlike last time, there was no fierce clash of black and white energies behind the door this time. It was clear that Venerable Canglan had completely perfected his methods of exploiting loopholes in the laws, making the passage stable and safe.

Livin subconsciously looked up and was once again stunned by the sight before her.

The passageway, previously woven from dim light, has undergone a complete transformation.

Instead, there is a giant tree hole that is both real and surreal, with a diameter of four meters. The inner walls of the tree hole are covered with ancient wood grain, which has a warm brown luster, as if it were transformed from the branches of an ancient tree that has lived for thousands of years.

Countless pale green specks of light floated inside the tree hollow, like fallen stars, slowly rising and falling, exuding a faint aura of life. This contrasted sharply with the desolation of the Gobi Desert, creating a mysterious yet harmonious scene, like another paradise on earth.

The speed at which Venerable Azure improved the passage truly exceeded Livin's expectations.

"Everyone, I'm leaving!"

Wu Dingtian nodded to the crowd, then turned and stepped through the stone gate.

From Liwen's perspective, the pale green lights surged in like a tide, instantly engulfing his figure. When the lights dissipated, Wu Dingtian had disappeared into the depths of the passage.

"Please wait a moment, the next batch of reinforcements will arrive soon."

Yang Donglin spoke calmly.

Liwen thought that there would be at most one or two, or at most three, warriors from the Azure Civilization to take over.

After all, the more people who come, the easier it is to disturb the consciousness of the secret realm.

But the Moon Spirit Warrior soon realized that she was very wrong!
Just two seconds later.

"Crack-!"

The pale green light spots inside the tree hole suddenly boiled, creating waves of emerald green.

Puffs of light shot out from the passage, quickly coalescing into hazy human figures in the air.

Judging from their silhouettes, they were clearly Azure Warriors wearing the Skycraft No. 9 armor.

The figures walked out of the stone gate in neat square formations with steady steps.

"Oh!"

The first warrior's boots landed with a soft thud, and as if an invisible brush had swept over them, the hazy mist around him instantly dissipated, revealing his clear form.

The man immediately raised his hand in a standard military salute, his voice strong and clear: "Commander, Lu Yishan reporting for duty!"

"Enter the ranks!" Yang Donglin nodded slightly.

He naturally knew that the other party was the thirteenth Ghost Disciple, and also one of the core leaders of the Human Alliance Defense Force.

As a low-ranking lieutenant colonel, he commanded a group of renowned military leaders, which made him feel very strange.

A second figure followed closely behind: "Commander, Wen Zehan reporting for duty!"

This warrior is Wen Zehan, the controller of the satellite constellations, who is now at the level of a quasi-knight.

"Enter the queue!"

A third figure strode out: "Commander, Guo Nannan reporting for duty!"

This guy is the controller of the Longevity Star, and his spirit value is approaching 980 points, just one step away from the threshold of becoming a knight.

Today on Canglan Star, Guo Nannan is also a very famous person.

However, this guy's fame mostly comes not from his abilities, but from his outrageously large number of offspring.

Under normal circumstances, the stronger a person with superpowers is, the lower the probability of them having offspring.

However, the Changsheng Star is different. The stronger he is, the easier it is for him to have offspring, and the higher the talent of his offspring will be.

That's why the Great Xia Dynasty regarded this guy as a "super Dumas," and for so many years they've been placing beauties from all over the world around him. Just a few days ago, Guo Nannan's 428th and 429th children were born smoothly.

"Enter the queue!"

Then came the fourth, fifth, and sixth figures.

"Commander, Zhuang Jun reporting for duty!"

"Commander, Feng Deqing reporting for duty!"

"Commander, Xiang Bin reporting for duty!"

These three are all Ghost Disciples.

More than a decade has passed, and most of the Ghost Disciples are stuck at the high-level warrior level.

As more and more Azure Warriors appeared, Livin's expression changed repeatedly.

First came surprise, then shock, then disbelief, and finally, numbness.

She gripped the exquisite longbow tightly and couldn't help but murmur, "By the Moon Spirit!"

This isn't support; it's clearly an elite legion!
too exaggerated!

One minute later.

"when!"

A muffled thud was heard, and the stone door closed.

The surrounding darkness quickly faded, and sunlight once again shone on the Gobi Desert.

Liwen's gaze swept across the formation, and she realized something: the Azure Venerable's methods of exploiting loopholes in the laws far exceeded her imagination.

Sending hundreds of warriors into the secret realm at once is tantamount to openly "provoking" the laws of the secret realm!
Yang Donglin stood at the very front of the formation, meeting the gazes of more than three hundred soldiers, his tone solemn and resolute:
"Everyone, I believe you already know that this secret realm operation concerns the fate of the Azure Civilization. We are not fighting for ourselves, but for the future of the entire civilization."

"Based on the information I have, the consciousness of the secret realm has already vaguely sensed the loophole in the law. We don't have much time left. The loophole may be plugged within two hours at the earliest."

"Next, we must hunt down General Stubborn Stone with all our might, and try to obtain enough Brave Badges before the Secret Realm Consciousness repairs the loopholes, so as to help more people break through the second barrier!"

"understand!"

More than 300 soldiers responded in unison, their voices echoing like thunder across the Gobi Desert.

Yang Donglin didn't waste any more words and simply raised his hand and waved.

The Sky Shuttle instantly appeared and hovered above the formation.

"Keng!"

The azure energy ripples spread out like a tide.

The anomaly then occurred.

Countless transparent silver threads emerged from the void, crisscrossing and intertwining, which was the concrete manifestation of the Void Locking Law.

Hundreds of illusory, deep blue stone worms burst forth from the crystal pillar. Each stone worm's tail was wrapped with dozens of silver threads, as if dragging countless chains. They instantly burrowed into the hard Gobi Desert ground and disappeared.

Livin pursed her lips, suddenly having a feeling—a big event was about to unfold.

Only a dozen seconds had passed.

The Gobi Desert began to tremble violently!
"boom!"

"boom!"

The deafening roars continued one after another, as if a powerful earthquake had swept in.

The rubble on the Gobi Desert was shaken into the air, and the ground cracked open with jagged ravines.

An ordinary person standing here would have been shaken to the side, but more than 300 soldiers stood firmly.

"hiss--!"

"hiss--!"

Sharp, piercing screechs rose and fell as one after another, massive stone generals burst forth from the earth, their enormous bodies carrying clouds of dust, spewing out pebbles with each opening and closing of their mouths.

Livin subconsciously activated the power of the Spirit Moon, and the range of her senses instantly expanded.

When she saw the scene before her, she was completely stunned—as far as the eye could see, there were at least five hundred stubborn stone generals roaring and wandering on the Gobi Desert.

At least five thousand stone worms are wriggling frantically, rapidly converging towards the surface, hundreds of meters underground.

This is hardly a hunt.

It's clearly war!!

Without needing to ask, Livin naturally understood her master's purpose—to use the spatial traction of the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle to transfer all the Stubborn Stone Generals within a radius of tens of kilometers to this location, hunt them down in large numbers as quickly as possible, obtain badges, and cultivate knights in large numbers before the Secret Realm consciousness detects the "cheating."

The way the Azure Civilization played in the secret realm truly shocked the Moon Spirit Warrior.

While members of other civilizations were still struggling to survive within the secret realm, the Azure Civilization had already begun to develop the precious resources contained within it.

this moment.

Livin's admiration for the Azure Civilization had reached its peak.

"Begin the battle!" Yang Donglin gave the order and charged out first.

War broke out instantly.

Livin instantly entered battle mode, her right hand sharply pulling back the longbow, drawing the bowstring to its full length.

Three pure white arrows of light rapidly coalesced on the bow, imbued with a faint moon spirit power, ready to burst forth at any moment.

In that instant, her movements suddenly froze.

More than three hundred Azure Warriors, as if they had practiced this a thousand times, threw out fist-sized light blue crystal balls in perfect unison.

The surface of the crystal sphere was covered with fine silver light patterns, containing immense energy, and it was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary object.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of rapid explosions followed.

The crystal sphere exploded in mid-air, and beams of dazzling blue light suddenly descended from the void.

The beam of light, carrying the force of thunder, instantly pierced through the head of the stubborn stone general below!
Thousands of beams of light stood like giant pillars supporting the sky on the Gobi Desert, illuminating the entire battlefield with blue light and firmly pinning the giant insect's massive body to the ground.

The giant insect's stone shell on its head shattered instantly, and its massive body could only sway back and forth in vain, hissing in pain, but it was unable to break free from the beam of light.

Liwen's pupils contracted slightly.

She instantly realized that the Azure Warrior Legion had come prepared.

In order to quickly hunt down General Stubborn Stone, they used so many powerful supernatural crystal spheres. The power unleashed by the crystal spheres was so strong that even she was taken aback. The Azure Civilization had obviously gone to great lengths.

The Azure Warriors immediately sprang into action, activating the jet propulsion devices on the backs of their armors, transforming into streaks of silver-gray light as they charged into the swarm of insects like tigers descending a mountain.

soon.

As the internal mechanism was activated, the stone generals froze instantly, their stone bodies shattering layer by layer like weathered rocks, and finally collapsing into piles of rubble.

Points of light shone in every corner of the battlefield, and badges of bravery, engraved with bone and claw patterns, slowly coalesced and floated in mid-air, radiating a soft halo of law.

Livin slowly released her grip on the bowstring, and the three unfinished arrows of light quietly vanished into the air.

This battle was entirely the domain of the Azure Civilization from beginning to end; she had no need to interfere at all. (End of Chapter)
