I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Lin Che held the token in his palm, and the cool, smooth touch felt like slowly melting ice seeping into his hand the moment it touched him.

Based on the information he had just received, Lin Che's divine sense began to penetrate inward along the patterns on the surface of the token.

The patterns on the token began to glow slightly the moment divine sense approached, like an activated river, with a silvery-gray light emerging from the depths of the patterns.

The divine sense began to slowly pass through the first layer of seal, followed by the second layer of encryption barrier, and finally, the divine sense passed through the third layer of core identification area and arrived at the control node of the token.

The node resembled a nebula compressed to an extremely small size, with countless tiny points of light flashing, flowing, and rotating at a fixed frequency inside, releasing a faint energy fluctuation with each blink.

Lin Che began to condense his divine consciousness imprint within it.

The moment the mark was placed, the outline of the entire secret realm appeared in his perception.

It's not an image conveyed through vision, but a more direct way of perceiving, like an extension of touch.

He could feel that the boundaries of the secret realm were as if they were wrapped in a soft substance. In his perception, those boundary lines appeared as continuous arcs, enclosing the entire space into an irregular ellipse.

The secret realm covered an area of ​​about 500 li in circumference. From the central building complex to the surrounding spirit beast grazing areas, every part was marked in his mind by the token in a way that was almost obsessive.

There are five grazing areas, distributed in different directions of the grassland. Each area has a different size and different topography.

Some areas are mainly grasslands, some are covered with forests, and some include a shallow lake...

He closed his eyes and memorized the information one by one.

After about the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, Lin Che opened his eyes.

After imprinting his divine sense mark on this secret realm control token, he has now become the master of this secret realm.

Although it doesn't have the same influence as the Azure Profound Realm Spirit on the Azure Profound Secret Realm, this token can still slightly alter the basic environment of a certain area, which is precisely the masterpiece of the Myriad Beasts Sect back then.

Adjusting the concentration of spiritual energy, changing the water level in a certain area, activating or deactivating the functions of certain subarrays, and switching the access status of a certain path from closed to open can all be achieved through tokens.

Of course, to achieve these functions, the sub-arrays built throughout the secret realm must be restored to operation.

However, with his limited knowledge of formations, he couldn't understand the operating principles of the formations in this secret realm at all. The sub-formations distributed throughout the secret realm were different from any formation system he had ever seen. The direction of the patterns, the arrangement of the nodes, and the path of spiritual energy flow were all fundamentally different from the logic of contemporary formation systems.

Xuanqing and the others are probably going to be busy.

Having gained control of this secret realm, Lin Che's sense of urgency gradually dissipated, but a thought then lingered in his mind: had he acquired control of this secret realm too easily?

From the array at the entrance of the breeding base to the various facilities inside, anyone who has cultivated the core techniques of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect can freely access them.

So the question is, why didn't the Great Qian Dynasty control this area back then?

Or think about it more deeply: the Great Qian Dynasty had already conquered the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and destroyed it, but in the end, it did not control this place. Instead, it retreated to the Central Region and supported three forces in the Southern Region to help them resist the beast tide.

This doesn't make any sense at all.

The former is easier to explain. It's possible that the lineage of the Myriad Beasts Sect was severed at its source, and there was no channel for it to flow out from the beginning. Therefore, after the sect was destroyed, the lineage was not controlled by the Great Qian Dynasty, and only Venerable Bai Ze had it.

This can be achieved by adding certain restrictions when passing on skills to disciples.

But the second point doesn't make sense!

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has been destroyed by the Great Qian Dynasty, which is a fact, but their retreat is also a fact.

Then there is only one explanation: the battle back then was not one-sided, and the Myriad Beasts Sect still possessed strength that made the Great Qian Dynasty wary.

Refining emptiness and uniting with the Dao.

This concept came to mind.

The fact that the Great Qian Dynasty was able to maintain its position in the Central Region must be because it had a cultivator at the sixth level of the Dao Integration Realm behind it. Similarly, the current situation in the Southern Region may also be due to the presence of a Dao Integration Realm expert behind it!

It is likely that what happened back then was far more complicated than what has been said.

With a sigh of relief, Lin Che stopped thinking about it and left the dark room with the three boxes in front of him, returning to the array room on the third shelf.

Now it's time to unpack!

Anything that could be placed alongside the Secret Realm Control Token was definitely not simple, and Lin Che couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

These three boxes are very well preserved.

The seal was tight, without any cracks or deformation. The dark red paint on the edge of the lid still retained its original luster, shining as if it had just been painted under the light.

The largest box is about three feet wide, two feet deep, and one and a half feet high. It is painted with dark red spirit lacquer, and comes from the same source as the iron spirit wood used for the bookshelves, but the material is thicker. The thickness of the box walls is about one finger, and the edges are polished smooth.

The corners of the box were reinforced with copper corner protectors, each engraved with fine moisture-proof and insect-proof runes. Although the runes were small, each stroke was engraved very deeply and the lines were even, clearly the work of a highly skilled spirit rune master.

The second box was smaller than the first, and was dark brown all over with no paint on the surface, revealing the wavy grain of the wood itself.

The third box was the smallest, about a foot long and wide, and dark gray in color. It was not made of wood, but of a metal he had never seen before.

"Which one should we open first?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Che picked up the dark gray metal box and gently ran his fingers along the silver line on it.

The silver wire is about the width of a toothpick, embedded in a groove on the metal surface, and is flush with the metal surface. You can't feel any bumps or depressions when you run your finger over it.

He was looking for possible openings, checking the seams between the lid and the body of the box along the grain of the grooves. His fingertip touched a barely perceptible indentation on the edge of the lid. The indentation was only about half the thickness of a hair, and when pressed with his fingertip, he could feel an extremely weak rebound.

He pressed it, but there was no response.

I tried applying spiritual power along the silver lines, but the surface of the gray box did not react at all.

Just as they were about to continue their investigation, the special rhythm emanating from the token seemed to have some connection with the gray box.

The token began to vibrate slightly, pushing a very thin stream of spiritual energy outward along his palm.

The silver lines on the surface of the gray box began to slowly light up, the color of the light gradually changing from dark silver to grayish-white, like an old fire being awakened from its slumber.

Without hesitation, Lin Che brought the token close to the top of the gray box.

When the two came within three inches of each other, the light of the silver lines changed from the original dark silver to a distinct pale gold. The light followed the trajectory of the lines in a complete circle, like a lit fuse moving forward along a predetermined path.

After completing a full circle, the stripes begin to recede to both sides, and the top surface of the lid is divided by the silver lines, forming a straight dividing line.

The lid slowly pops up along this dividing line, revealing the silver interior.

Inside the box, a short, matte black blade rests quietly in a groove.

The overall shape is streamlined and slightly curved, like an elongated black willow leaf. There is no handguard, and the blade and handle are integrated. There is a very shallow cloud pattern relief at the transition, and there is a very thin dark red line on the spine of the blade.

Just looking at him gave Lin Che a chill down his spine.

Without needing a detailed system investigation, he could sense that the item's grade was definitely not low.

I've shipped out my goods.

After the system investigated, Lin Che learned the name of the short blade—Shadow Sorrow.

A top-grade fourth-tier magical artifact.

Unfortunately, it is not a conventional magical weapon, but a weapon specifically designed for assassins. The overall design of the weapon is optimized for stealth and surprise attacks, and it cannot exert its maximum effectiveness in direct confrontation.

Although Lin Che is very suitable to be an assassin, there is no need for him. Let's leave him to the clan.

Thinking this, Lin Che put it into his storage ring and continued opening the box.

My gaze fell on the second box, which was dark brown all over. When I ran my fingers over the wood, I could feel its warm texture, like old wood that had been exposed to the sunlight.

Take out the token again and bring it close to the box lid following the previous steps.

Silver lines began to appear on the box. The activation process of the lines was similar to before, but the frequency of the lights seemed to be slower than before. The process of the silver lines changing from dark silver to light gold lasted about seven or eight breaths, which was almost twice as slow as the gray box.

The sealing settings for this second box are probably slightly different from the first one, but this difference was still successfully approved within the token's authority.

The silver light faded, and the lid of the box silently popped open.

Inside the box, on the soft cushions, were three jade pendants of similar material placed side by side.

The first jade pendant, a warm and lustrous cyan jade, is about one inch square and is translucent cyan. The second jade pendant is about one and a half inches square and is dark green. The third jade pendant is about two inches square and is made of extremely rare moon-white spirit jade with fine silver patterns on its surface.

"Inheritance?" Lin Che picked up the jade pendant, held it in his palm, and gently infused it with spiritual energy.

The patterns inside the jade pendant lit up instantly, and a message entered his mind.

The contents of the document surprised him somewhat; it contained the specific locations of two other breeding bases.

One is a breeding base for combat spirit beasts, and the other is a breeding base for resource production spirit beasts.

In addition, this mount-type spirit beast breeding base will definitely give any force the capital to rise.

That's not all. It also contains a crucial piece of information: the tokens from the three cultivation secret realms can unlock the ultimate inheritance of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

"The ultimate legacy?"

Without hesitation, Lin Che picked up another one.

As spiritual energy was injected, specific information emerged in Lin Che's sea of ​​consciousness.

"This is... the array formation inheritance of the Beast Taming Sect." Upon seeing the contents, Lin Che couldn't help but nod.

He was still worrying about how to restart the formation of the entire secret realm, but he didn't expect that the seniors of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had already prepared it for him.

The array system recorded in the jade pendant includes methods for repairing and restarting the overall array of the secret realm, activation procedures for each sub-array, and coordination between the token and the array. It even provides detailed instructions on how to remove the restrictions that are covered with jade slips.

He picked up the third jade pendant.

It contains a detailed breeding manual for all the spirit beast species cultivated in the secret realm, recording everything from the feeding, breeding, and bloodline purification of spirit beasts to the advancement and application of these subjects.

The records were graded by different colors of light: light blue for basic common sense, dark blue for advanced content, and purple for core secrets.

When you flip through the pages, you can feel that the content of each page is presented in a combination of text and images. Even the complex bloodline purification process can be understood at a glance through the illustrative images.

These three jade pendants were clearly intended to help the person who inherited the legacy of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to master the secret realm.

After putting away the jade pendant, Lin Che picked up the third box, which was also the largest one.

Using the same method, the treasure chest was opened again.

As the silver light dissipated, three spirit beast eggs with different patterns were revealed inside.

The surface of the first egg was covered with dark red lines, like cracks in the surface of cooling lava after it had solidified.

The lines are about the width of a needle tip, densely covering the entire surface of the eggshell, with gaps revealing the dark brown base color underneath, like pottery that has been repeatedly fired.

The eggshell felt incredibly hot to the touch, indicating that a fire-attribute spirit beast was definitely inside.

The second egg was pure white, covered with lightning-like patterns, indicating that it belonged to a lightning-attribute spirit beast.

The third egg was the largest, about twice the size of the first two, and its surface was covered with alternating dark blue and light cyan stripes.

The eggshell was slightly cooler than room temperature, and it felt as cool to the touch as touching porcelain, so there was no doubt that the egg contained a water-attribute spirit beast.

"That's more like it!" Lin Che exclaimed after examining the three eggs.

After all, this is a spirit beast breeding base; it would be strange if there weren't any spirit beasts here.

"System, please examine these three spirit beast eggs!"

As Lin Che communicated with the system, three system panels appeared in front of him, displaying detailed information about the spirit beast inside the egg.

"Good heavens, all three are spirit beasts with top-grade bloodlines." Lin Che couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the detailed descriptions of the three spirit beasts.

Moreover, these three spirit beasts encompass land, sea, and air, and are undoubtedly all mount-type spirit beasts.

Among them is a ground mount—the Lava Kirin.

Sky mount - Nine Heavens Mystic Feather.

And the ocean mount – the Azure Tide Dragon Whale.

"As expected of a beast-taming sect, they specially cultivated mount-type spirit beasts with top-grade bloodlines for the sake of grandeur."

Lin Che doesn't plan to give these three spirit beasts to anyone else; he'll hatch them and use them himself in the future. As the head of the Lin family, he still needs to maintain a certain image.

With a wave of his hand, the three eggs were placed into a special spirit beast bag.

"It's time to go check on the spirit beast population being cultivated within the secret realm."
