Chapter 945 The Energy Source of the Void Realm

In fact, Chen Guan had a vague suspicion in his mind before. He had absorbed a realm 1 before, but only leveled up by one level.

The Centaur Secret Realm, being a secret realm of a small race, is probably only at the level of Realm 1.

Theoretically speaking, Chen Guan needs twice the amount of vital energy to advance to each level, and he needs two realms to advance to the next level.

Chen Guan had some ideas before, thinking that the energy of his first realm might have been overflowing when he upgraded last time. So now, refining the energy of a Void Secret Realm should be enough to allow him to upgrade another level.

It seems he was overthinking things; without two Level 1 realms, there's probably no way to level up.

When he was at the Immortal Mountain Sect, he only absorbed a portion of its energy and leveled up several times. This was because the Immortal Mountain Sect itself had a high-level secret realm, and also because Chen Guan's level was low at that time, so he needed less energy.

Unfortunately, most of the energy within the Immortal Mountain Sect was absorbed by its members. Chen Guan only absorbed a small portion of it later. Otherwise, the energy provided by a level 3 Void Secret Realm would have been more than just enough to level up a few levels.

Although the upgrade goal was not achieved, the Centaur Secret Realm was erased, so it should not be so easy for others to find any clues related to their backers.

Chen Guan then returned to the Immortal Mountain Sect, intending to study how to develop within the Sky Secret Realm in the future.

Given the amount of energy Chen Guan needs to level up, it's impossible for him to level up unless he directly refines and absorbs those blessed lands and secret realms.

If he wants to level up, he can only refine the Void Realm in the Sky Realm or directly find a realm to absorb.

Realms are things that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought. They are naturally generated in the Sky Realm. Moreover, once there are signs of the birth of a realm, many Sky Spirits will rush to compete for it, and it is not so easy to obtain one.

The main problem is that they are extremely rare to encounter.

However, the Void Realm is different. There are many Void Realms within the Sky Realm, and it is easier to go there than to find a realm.

Since the Sky Spirit treats humans as guinea pigs, it can naturally treat these alien races as stepping stones for advancement.

However, it is essential to thoroughly investigate the distribution of these void realms and avoid venturing into those realms with top-tier experts, lest we be discovered and provoke an attack from the Sky Spirits. This task naturally falls to Long Li.

When Chen Guan used the Secret Realm Bead to teleport back to the Immortal Mountain Sect, he was somewhat surprised to see that Long Li and the four senior brothers and sisters were all standing opposite the mountain peak where the Jade Lone Sword was stuck, all staring at the Jade Lone Sword.

"What happened?" Chen Guan flashed to the side of the group and asked, looking at Yu Gujian.

Without them needing to answer, Chen Guan had already seen that the part of the Jade Lone Sword protruding from the mountain wall was much longer than before.

"The Jade Lone Sword has almost drained the vitality of our Immortal Mountain Sect. With such a huge amount of energy supporting it, it looks like it's about to break free." Kao Shan no longer had much worry or fear at this point.

Because of this trip, they now have a clear understanding of their own strength, unlike before when they were completely unaware of it.

That Jade Orphan is at most level 100, while the four of them are already level 100.

They felt that with their own strength, they should be able to deal with a Jade Lone Sword.

The reason they were so afraid of Yu Gu Jian before was because Yu Gu Jian had caused them too much psychological trauma, and they didn't have a clear understanding of their own strength before.

Chen Guan felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this, realizing that he had drained the Immortal Mountain Sect's vitality, and Yu Gu Jian had taken the blame for him.

Chen Guan, naturally, wouldn't sell himself out, so he nodded and said, "The existence of this sword here is a hidden danger, but it's also an opportunity." The four people with backing also had the same idea, especially Miao Shan. She had been studying the Jade Lone Sword for many years, and if she could acquire it for her own use, it would be a significant boost to her strength.

At this moment, Miaoshan was eager to try and said to Chen Guan, "When the Jade Lone Sword is freed, can I try to suppress it by myself first?"

"Of course you can. This originally belonged to your Immortal Mountain Sect, so why ask me?" Chen Guan said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with Miaoshan's awareness. He could have no objection, but Miaoshan had to ask for his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Miaoshan no longer had any reservations and waited for the Jade Lone Sword to break free.

The movement of the Jade Lone Sword is almost invisible to the naked eye; it moves only about one millimeter each day.

According to their calculations, it should take several more months for Yu Gujian to fully emerge from the stone wall, but the exact time is uncertain.

Chen Guan summoned Long Li to his temporary cave dwelling and began to study the distribution of the Void Realm within the Sky Realm.

As Chen Guan listened, he realized a problem.

The spirits in the Sky Realm almost never devour each other, as their energy source comes from the Void Realm.

However, the energy of the Void Realm is actually limited. Even a level three Void Realm, once its energy is exhausted, has no chance of recovery.

Because energy doesn't appear out of thin air. Just like the vital energy within the Immortal Mountain Sect, after Chen Guan almost drained it, there was no sign of it recovering.

Those seemingly recoverable secret realms do not actually leak their energy. No matter who absorbs it, it circulates within the same secret realm.

However, the Void Realms of various races rarely migrate to new Void Realms. Over countless years, the energy of those Void Realms has remained abundant, showing no signs of depletion.

Upon inquiry, Chen Guan learned that each race sought out higher realms to replenish the energy of their own Void Realm.

"Since realm can be used to replenish the energy of the Void Secret Realm, it should also be used to strengthen my Secret Realm, right?" Chen Guan had only been thinking about leveling up and had forgotten about the Secret Realm.

The main reason is that this secret realm only absorbs and does not expend resources. Someone like Chen Guan, who lacks resources, simply doesn't have the extra resources to support it.

But then I thought about it again and realized something was wrong.

Resources like realms are something that no race would complain about having too many of; even a single level one realm would be contested by many major races.

Logically speaking, those smaller races should have a hard time seizing realms, and their void realms should easily run out of energy.

However, the Centaur tribe previously possessed a relatively abundant amount of spiritual energy in their Void Realm.

As far as Long Li knew, not many races had changed their Void Realm. It was common for the Void Realm to be short of spiritual energy, but it was extremely rare to hear of any race's Void Realm becoming completely unusable.

During her years in the Heavenly Dragon Clan, she also experienced the problem of insufficient spiritual energy in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm, but it was later improved, though she didn't know how it was improved.

"Besides cultivation level, are there other ways to replenish vital energy?" Chen Guan wondered to himself, his expression turning somewhat grim.
