Chapter 538: Each Reaps Their Rewards, The Unbeatable Opponent (4K)
Mountains hung upside down, waterfalls flowed in reverse.
An illusionary mirage-like scene appeared in the distant azure sky.
That mountain range stretched endlessly, and the waterfall flowed upward into a vast lake.
Inverted Mountain!
It marked the boundary between the outer and inner circles of the Secret Realm!
This was not so much an obstacle, but rather, the realms inside and outside of the Secret Realm were inverted.
They needed to cross from this side to the other, flipping into another piece of inverted land.
Separated by a great distance, there was considerable pressure in between. Even feathermen, birds, angels, capable of flight at the Fourth-order Limit, could hardly fly over this chasm.
Only those in the Legendary Realm, wielding the Power of Heaven and Earth, could cross it.
And even for them, it wasn't easy.
Carrying others with them made it even more difficult. Newcomers to the Legendary Realm were not even qualified to watch over others.
"Sreee~"
Jun, in full song, cried out as its wings beat and it passed through leisurely.
Several times in the middle, it experienced the disorienting sensation of the world turning inside out. This was the difficulty in crossing the crevice.
But to the experienced driver, Jun, it wasn't just fast but also stable in flight.
Understand that the fastest in Tianyuan, and a former early mount of the Lord, held value in gold!
"Whoosh~"
The wild winds began to ebb as Jun descended into the lower-altitude regions.
Its eyes sharp, Jun spotted a glint of light amidst the hazy white fog not far away.
It was an object wrapped in a blue Light Ball, resembling an ancient-looking scroll.
'Miracle Blueprints: Blank (Impression)'
'Grade: Excellent'
'Description: Can imprint a Miracle Building of no higher than Superior grade and generate the corresponding blueprints.'
This was a rather nice treasure.
The value of Miracle Blueprints was already several dozen or even hundreds of times more than materials of the same tier, and this blank blueprint could theoretically select any Superior building.
Its worth was even higher, nearly comparable to a more common Epic Treasure.
To find such precious treasures upon entry, truly worthy of a World Secret Realm, love it!
Jun's merit +1.
"Then, we shall part ways here and wish everyone great fortune."
"Should any mishaps occur, or you discover some unique chances, contact us immediately."
Sophia said.
Taking a ride on Jun was for rapid transit to this region, but upon arrival, naturally, they would no longer stick together as a team.
Jun would no longer use Soaring Nine Heavens.
Such speed would make it impossible to find treasures, plus utilizing Soaring Nine Heavens required soaring high above, not low-altitude Fly Sweep.
Exploring alone was the most efficient choice.
Of course, this also meant the leaders of Tianyuan City were confident enough.
Even the weaker ones among them, like Gibi and Grass Twig, were top-tier powers within the Legendary Realm.
The group dispersed, each beginning their exploration in their preferred fashion.
Jun took to the skies, deciding to fly deeper before starting a slow search.
Rakshasa transformed into a wisp of grey-brown smoke, swirling toward the distances in the mountains.
Grass Twig, a spirit of nature, burst into the vegetation and shifted continuously through the woods.
Gibi split into countless bats and scattered in all directions.
Around the same time.
A prompt "Dingling, dingling" resonated continually by Mu Yuan's ear.
'Prompt: Your hero 'Rakshasa' has obtained Superior-grade material 'Dragon Gall Whiskers'.'
'Prompt: Your hero 'Sophia' has obtained Superior-grade weapon 'Heavenly Thunder Needle'.'
'Prompt: ...'
Non-hero units' treasures would not trigger immediate prompts, but through the Web of Spirit, Mu Yuan stayed in constant contact with everyone within the Secret Realm, well aware of their plentiful harvests.
It was like picking up money with a sack!
Of course,
Higher-level treasures weren't just about bending down to pick them up, for explorers would face layers of challenges and hurdles.
Without sufficient strength, even if one arrived here at the fastest speed, they might return empty-handed.
"This is... an Illusion!"
Sophia stood in a dense forest.
She had been circling for tens of seconds before she barely noticed something amiss.
"Too natural, without a trace of Illusion Technique workmanship; should I say it's a naturally formed Illusion by the world itself?"
She hadn't noticed before, but once she sensed something was off and observed with her Phantom Night Eyes, she could glimpse the paths through the Illusion.
Just the paths, though.
She couldn't destroy this Illusion. It was connected to the entire world, and even if she used great force, the Illusion would reconstruct itself within seconds.
"Quite fascinating, maybe Hong Yi could come and take a look."
Sophia chose to mark the location.
The Rule's Power in this Secret Realm was strong; the Lord's Talent could not extend here, but they each had a Spirit Seed planted within, essentially acting as signal beacons.
They could serve as individual coordinate points, and distances could be roughly estimated by comparing multiple times.
Sophia thought, already moving through the Illusion area.
Before her lay a clear lake, and above it hung a treasure glowing with purple radiance.
Without any further incident, Sophia's avatar flew up to retrieve the Treasure Bead.
'Heavenly Illusion Treasure Pearl'
'Grade: Epic'
'Description: Greatly enhances Illusion Ability and has the capability to restore broken Illusions within a short period.'
A precious treasure, now in hand.
...
In another place.
A wisp of smoke touched ground, re-forming into the dark-skinned, muscular figure of Rakshasa.
He looked ahead.
In the center of a desolate, broken rocky terrain stood a grand grey Stele towering above.
