Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

At this point, he had collected four Saint-level storage magic treasures.

He did not rush to leave, but instead lingered in this sea of ​​blood.

The outside world is fraught with danger and unpredictability, but this former territory of the Three Sacred Dragons has become the safest refuge in the entire Blood Sea, with no ferocious beasts daring to approach it after this battle.

Su Mu focused his attention on the investigation, activating the four storage magic treasures one by one to take stock of the Saint Realm expert's lifelong treasures.

As expected of a Saint Realm cultivator at the pinnacle of the universe, the collection boasts a wide variety of treasures of extremely high quality. Even Su Mu, who is accustomed to seeing priceless treasures, couldn't help but be amazed.

There are no fewer than twenty Saint-level treasures alone.

Unfortunately, most of them were low-grade Saint-level items, and most of them came from the hands of the three-headed Saint-level dragons. The master of the secret realm raised ferocious beasts only to watch the fighting and for amusement, and the treasures he casually fed them were mostly battle armor and weapons.

These low-grade Saint-level battle armors are useless to Su Mu, who is already wearing a complete set of Imperial Treasures. They are not even worth his attention. He can take them back to Tianyuan Star and bestow them upon his adopted sons and daughters to help them cultivate and grow.

The remaining six items were mid-grade Saint-level treasures, and four of them were still weapons and armor, which Su Mu skipped over. Only two functional treasures remained, which made him quite tempted.

Firstly, the Spatial Orb. It can create a unique confinement domain, which can forcibly trap even a Saint Realm expert for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Its only drawback is that it has no offensive power; it can only imprison and cannot be attacked.

Secondly, the Sacred Symbol of Destruction. It is an ultimate trump card of mutual destruction. Once activated, it can cause the space within a radius of 100,000 miles to collapse and shatter instantly, stirring up a monstrous spatial destruction turbulence that indiscriminately devours and crushes friend and foe within the domain, making it extremely dangerous.

Finally, there are the rarest Saint-level high-grade treasures, of which there are only two, but both are extremely practical and heaven-defying treasures.

Su Mu fixed his gaze on the two high-grade Saint-level treasures, carefully examining their power.

The first item is the Soul-Shaking Sacred Talisman. Its primary function is to deliver a devastating blow to the soul. Once activated, it releases an invisible power of soul-destroying force, impacting the souls of living beings over a wide area, causing extremely severe soul trauma and inflicting a few seconds of stun. Even top-tier experts in the late Saint Realm will be stunned for a second upon being hit. It is an invaluable weapon for turning the tide of battle, escaping danger, and turning the tide of combat.

The second item is the Disorder Pearl. When crushed, it can disrupt the natural order of time, causing the flow of time within a radius of 100,000 miles to become completely disordered and inverted, with the user remaining unaffected. Even a late-stage Saint Realm expert, if trapped in this time-disordered domain, will be severely disrupted and their combat power will plummet.

After taking inventory of all the treasures, Su Mu couldn't help but slightly purse his lips and sigh softly, "These top experts who have roamed all corners of the universe are far too frugal. The entire life collection of four Saint Realm cultivators is only this much."

Despite his feelings of感慨 (gǎn kǎi, deep emotion), he also had a profound understanding of the situation.

The higher one's cultivation level, the rarer and more precious the natural treasures suitable for cultivation breakthroughs and nourishing one's origin become. Ordinary cultivators may not be able to gather the main ingredients for a single high-grade pill even if they spend their entire lives and face nine deaths and one life, let alone possess a pile of Saint-grade treasures.

It was only because of his extraordinary luck that he was never short of elixirs and treasures, which allowed him to possess countless treasures in the Heavenly God Realm, far surpassing his peers and crushing a group of ordinary Saint Realm cultivators.

After quickly and properly storing all the treasures, Su Mu did not linger. Following the jade slip map given to him by Dor, he flew at full speed toward the land at the end of the Blood Sea.

After a half-day of high-speed flight, traversing the endless crimson sea, Su Mu and the Apocalypse Puppet finally landed steadily on the shore.

At this moment, Dor, Xiu Dun, and Qiao Lang had just finished their medicinal recuperation and source restoration, and their auras were barely stabilized.

The moment the three opened their eyes, they saw Su Mu and the Apocalypse Puppet who had arrived first, and a clear look of surprise and doubt flashed across their eyes.

Although they knew that the Apocalypse Puppet possessed extraordinary combat power, far surpassing that of ordinary God-Kings, Su Mu was clearly only at the mid-stage of the Heavenly God realm, making him a significant burden. The fact that the two of them could arrive unharmed and first amidst the raging beast tide of the Blood Sea, their speed even exceeding that of the other Heavenly Gods and God-Kings, was truly abnormal.

The three exchanged glances, and without needing to say a word, they tacitly began to communicate telepathically, speculating and discussing among themselves.

"Doll, this person was recommended by your Star God Temple. How much do you know about him?" Shudton asked in a deep voice, his tone full of vigilance.

Dol shook his head slightly, his expression solemn: "He was recommended by the Star Palace under my Star God Temple. He had no reputation or achievements before, and the Star Palace knew very little about him. His background is extremely mysterious."

"In my opinion, this boy must be hiding his true cultivation level!" Qiao Lang said with a deep gaze and certainty. "Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to lead a junior Celestial God through the Blood Sea Beast Tide and escape safely, arriving first. This strength and escape technique are not something an ordinary God King could possess."

"If he truly harbors hidden Saint-level cultivation, lying in wait, he must be plotting to seize the supreme treasure in the core of the secret realm. We must be wary of this person!"

Xiu Dun's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent arose within him: "According to the previous agreement among the three parties, if any hidden foreign Saint Realm expert appears in the secret realm, no mercy should be shown; we should join forces to eliminate them. In my opinion, we should take advantage of this advantageous terrain and our numerical superiority, and kill him here directly, eliminating any future trouble!"

"No." Qiao Lang raised his hand slightly and dissuaded him, "The Blood Sea Beast Tide has suffered heavy casualties, and very few have returned so far. The dangers of exploring the secret realm are unknown, and we still need these cultivators to take the lead and explore the dangers. If we kill him now, we will not have enough cannon fodder, and we will have to take risks ourselves later. It will not be worth it."

Dol nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Qiao Lang is right. Let's spare his life for now and observe him for a while longer."

The three instantly reached an agreement, suppressing their murderous intent and withdrawing their guard. They merely nodded symbolically to Su Mu and then paid no further attention.

The group stayed put to rest and wait, far exceeding the originally planned one-day period, and waited for a full two days and one night.

Even after a long delay, very few cultivators returned alive from the blood-soaked beast tide.

Apart from Su Mu and the Apocalypse Puppet, only the sisters Yu Sheng, Bu Chuan Ku Cha, and Bu Chuan Nai Zhao remained, along with Tian Yu Lou, a peak God King cultivator who had miraculously survived.

The formidable Tian Sheng Pavilion group was completely wiped out, with no survivors. The credit for this was largely due to Su Mu.

The horrific number of those who returned is enough to attest to the terrifying danger of the blood-soaked beast tide. Those who did not return have already perished in the sea of ​​blood, leaving no trace of their remains.

Seeing this, Dor and the other two did not wait any longer. They stood up and gestured to the others, and the group set off again, heading deeper into the secret realm.

After crossing the land along the Blood Sea, a vast and boundless plain stretched before them. The group continued straight ahead, traversing the plain for tens of thousands of miles, and finally arrived at a majestic mountain range with continuous undulations.

Flying deep into the heart of the mountains, a colossal palace suspended above a sea of ​​clouds suddenly came into view.

The palace is majestic and imposing, surrounded by ethereal mists and white clouds, creating a sense of purity, transcendence, and a celestial palace that is visually stunning.

This is the core area of ​​the second section of the secret realm.

Outside the celestial palace, layers of thick array barriers separated the inside from the outside, and the power of anti-air suppressed the entire area. No one could fly or ascend from the air; they could only walk on the ground and slowly approach along the mountain path.

Dor stopped at the edge of the formation, his expression solemn. He turned to the few remaining cultivators and warned them in a deep voice about the extreme danger ahead.

"Outside this celestial palace is an unparalleled array woven from the eight fundamental forces of the universe. Within the array are eight passages, each corresponding to one of the eight fundamental forces: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and reincarnation."

"Based on past experiences with the secret realm, the master of the secret realm controls the source of wood. Therefore, among the eight passages, the passage of the source of wood is the most dangerous and deadly. As long as you avoid this passage, ordinary god-king cultivators can barely pass through the other seven passages."

"Remember, the formation passage changes randomly each time the secret realm opens. No one can predict it in advance. Only by stepping into the passage and sensing the original aura inside can you determine the corresponding original attribute."

Dole's words were straightforward, and his purpose was self-evident.

This is the last use of these cultivators: to explore and test the waters, to identify passages, and to risk their lives to eliminate crises.

After Dor finished speaking, Yu Sheng quietly transmitted her voice to Su Mu, the Apocalypse Puppet, and the Bu Chuan sisters, revealing the hidden truth.

"Dor has been hiding something. Among the eight fundamental passages, the Wood Path seems the most dangerous, but in reality, the Reincarnation Fundamental Passage is the safest and contains hidden opportunities for the Great Dao, which have a very high probability of helping cultivators break through their realms and comprehend the laws."

"And remember, once you step into the passage, everything you see, remember, and see is a mixture of reality and illusion, and it is impossible to tell what is real from what is not. Do not take it all as real."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu frowned slightly, instantly understanding the situation.

What you see is not real; it is highly likely that the passage contains the power of an ultimate illusion.

The origin of reincarnation can help people break through to the Saint Realm. It is highly likely that Yu Sheng was deeply entangled in the laws of reincarnation and went into seclusion for many years before finally breaking through to the Saint Realm, thanks to the opportunity and baptism of this secret realm reincarnation passage.

Before Su Mu could ponder this further, Dor's domineering voice suddenly rang out, locking onto Su Mu directly.

"Su Mu, leave your communication spirit orb imprint and immediately choose any passage to enter. Inform us of all the primal power and unusual phenomena you perceive within the passage through the spirit orb."

His tone was harsh, leaving no room for negotiation; it was entirely the attitude of ordering subordinates and driving cannon fodder.

Su Mu understood perfectly that it wasn't the right time to completely break off relations yet, as the three of them still had value to him, so he didn't refuse them.

Moreover, there are very few surviving cultivators at present, and there is still a shortage of manpower for the eight passages. Even if I explore the passages myself, the other party may not dare to force me to take all the risks, so there is no need to rush.

With a slight twitch of his fingertips, Su Mu left a communication spirit pearl mark, and with a swift movement, he rushed towards a dark passage to the left front and decisively entered the arena.

After Su Mu set off, Dor did not wait any longer and immediately urged Yu Sheng, the Bu Chuan sisters, and the remaining cultivators to choose a passage to explore.

Everyone knew perfectly well that once they arrived here, their value as cannon fodder had been completely exploited. The three Saint Realm experts had already decided that once they discovered the safe passage, they would abandon everyone else and enjoy the core opportunity for themselves.

Everyone was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, but the difference in strength was too great, and they were powerless to resist at the moment. They could only suppress their emotions, choose their own passages, and step in one by one.
