Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Conclusion and Gains
"Dad..."
Watching Qin Zhihai’s Emperor’s Soul finally disappear before him, tears uncontrollably streamed down Qin Chen’s eyes.
Beside him, Huang Shuying seemed to be affected by Chi Yun’s memories, silently weeping.
It’s unknown just how much time had passed.
The world had long returned to its former brightness.
Sunshine poured down, melting the thick snow, as if everything had passed with it.
"Buzz!"
The space began to tremble.
All of Divine River City became somewhat distorted at this moment.
The people here began to disappear, and the objects turned into bubbles.
The Illusion Realm was finally coming to an end.
Qin Chen only felt a flicker before his eyes, and gradually, his consciousness also blurred.
Soon, as this feeling slowly faded, he opened his eyes again, finding himself already back in Celestial Emperor City.
Not just him, the other disciples who entered the Secret Realm also awoke at this moment, all gathered in the square.
Like waking from a long dream, although only seven days had passed in the outside world, Ji Chen and the others had truly spent ten years in that Illusion Realm.
He touched the corner of his eye and discovered tears there, a sense of desolation surging through his heart.
The scene of Qin Zhihai’s soul scattering before his eyes, such a memory seemed to be forever imprinted in Ji Chen’s mind, making it impossible to forget.
"The trial is over, welcome back everyone."
In the sky above, the White Robe Mansion Master appeared.
Everyone seemed a bit quiet, none speaking, as if still in a state of bewilderment.
In the final stage of this trial, they all witnessed the terrifying invasion of the Outer Race with their own eyes.
A total of thirteen Emperor Venerable beings, any one of whom could sweep across the world if placed in this era.
It’s hard to imagine that such a war once took place in the Desolate Realm during the distant Immortal Ancient Era.
Emperor Qin Venerable died in battle, his Emperor’s Soul scattered, bidding farewell forever.
Faced with such a terrifying formation from the Yu Realm, how did the Desolate Realm ultimately expel them completely?
Everyone was silent, deep in thought, pondering whether if one day the Yu Realm returned, the Desolate Realm in its current state could withstand them?
The answer needs no words.
"The Desolate Yu War will eventually come again, and the existence of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion is to prepare for that future second war. At that time, everyone from the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion will be sent to the front lines. This Secret Realm journey was to make you feel the terror of the Immortal Ancient War, preparing you psychologically for the second Desolate Yu War to come."
The voice of the White Robe Mansion Master came again from high above.
The Celestial Emperor’s Mansion recruits talents from all worlds to train, all to resist the Yu Realm’s second invasion!
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.
In fact, some older disciples who had been in the mansion for years had already guessed this, prepared mentally.
"Mansion Master, if the Yu Realm descends again now, with the current state of our Desolate Realm, can we truly withstand it?" Someone couldn’t help but ask.
In the Illusion Realm, the arrival of thirteen Outer Race Great Emperors created a terrifying aura that still made them tremble when recalled.
In today’s era, if the Yu Realm indeed invades again, it’s easy to see that the Desolate Realm can hardly resist.
The White Robe Mansion Master spoke, "In the Immortal Ancient War, both realms exhausted nearly all their vitality. Since then, our Desolate Realm has not seen a true prosperous age. But similarly, neither has the Yu Realm. Their current state isn’t much better than ours."
...
As everyone discussed, Ji Chen had not uttered a single word from beginning to end.
Apart from being immersed in sorrow, he was more alarmed.
Because at this moment, Ji Chen discovered that the Spirit Emperor Tower within his Spiritual Sea had truly been brought out by him.
Not only that, perhaps due to the Spirit Emperor Tower, the cultivation improvements gained within the Illusion Realm had not been lost.
Now, he still maintained the strength of the Nirvana Realm Second Layer!
This was an outcome Ji Chen had never anticipated.
When he first broke through the Spirit Emperor Tower, his cultivation had briefly reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, but Ji Chen thought the improvements in the Illusion Realm didn’t belong to him.
For this reason, in the years that followed, he focused on studying Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, rarely cultivating.
Until the ten-year trial concluded, now he had only reached the Nirvana Realm Second Layer.
"Had I known it was like this..."
While his heart was filled with joy, he couldn’t help but sigh. If he had known the improvements in the Illusion Realm could be brought outside, he would have spent all his time in the Secret Realm on cultivating.
While contemplating this, Ji Chen soon found Huang Shuying and others, inquiring about their cultivation.
Ultimately, Ji Chen confirmed that besides him, no one else who entered the Secret Realm could bring out the cultivation improvements from it.
This meant it was an exception happening to him alone!
In Ji Chen’s view, this exception was largely due to the Spirit Emperor Tower within his Spiritual Sea.
"Brother Ji, your aura..."
Ning Bufan seemed to sense something, an astonished look appearing on his face.
He could feel a terrifying aura faintly emanating from Ji Chen’s body.
This aura made Ning Bufan realize that Ji Chen’s cultivation had at least reached the Saint Realm!
Huang Shuying and the others saw Ning Bufan’s reaction and turned their attention towards Ji Chen, also sensing the anomaly.
"This matter is complicated, and I don’t fully understand the true reason yet,"
Ji Chen didn’t provide much explanation. Soon, in the square, the disciples dispersed one by one, and Ji Chen returned to Qixian Residence.
He began researching the Spirit Emperor Tower within his Spiritual Sea.
Late into the night, Ji Chen finally understood much of the Spirit Emperor Tower’s functions.
The tower resides in his Spiritual Sea and can be projected independently, similar to Qin Zhihai’s Fuxi Hammer, it’s a Life-Protecting Treasure inseparable from him.
Additionally, he found that the tower could be used for storage, including living beings and Demon Beasts.
He once attempted to enter the Spirit Emperor Tower with a wisp of Divine Thought transformed into a Dao Body. What he saw inside was exactly the same as during his first tower traversal in the Illusion Realm, with numerous Demon Beasts appearing. After slaying these Demon Beasts, his cultivation could be rapidly improved!
Such a discovery undoubtedly thrilled Ji Chen.
As if he had become the master of the Spirit Emperor Tower, able to enter and exit freely at any time.
Moreover, he had a crazy idea, which was to release the Demon Beasts within the Spirit Emperor Tower.
Ji Chen initially thought this would be impossible, but after trying, he found that the Demon Beasts in the tower could indeed be summoned by him and would completely obey him!
