Chapter 235: The Rebirth of the Mysterious Dragon Palace
Obtain the highest authority?
Shen Xing’s eyes lit up slightly.
This was an unexpected surprise.
As the other party said, even if the resources were exhausted and not much was left, the secret realm itself was the greatest treasure.
For example, the method to quickly improve his realm earlier, and the method to temper the Divine Soul.
Its effect was even much stronger than fourth-grade pills.
What was even more rare was that it could be applied to his current realm.
You must know that even if there were fifth-grade pills in front of him now, it would be difficult for him to refine them.
If he could really obtain the control authority of this secret realm, it would be a great gain no matter what.
“I just need to inject Yuan Power containing the fire seed?” He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Mysterious Dragon Stele in front of him. Sure enough, a certain Divine Soul connection was established at this moment.
Everything in the entire Mysterious Dragon Secret Realm unfolded before him.
Including every trial ground.
Even the resource situation in various places.
There were also places that were not open to trialists, such as the medicine field, the scripture pavilion, the forging pavilion, and so on.
Even the location of the main consciousness of Huang Xingjie and the others was clear.
There were a total of one hundred and seventy-two.
All of them were the last generation of direct disciples.
Although the number was not large, the Mysterious Dragon Palace had strict requirements. These direct disciples were all exceptional prodigies. Huang Xingjie was even more so. He was only five hundred years old before his death, but he already had the strength of the Sun and Moon Realm. With this kind of talent, if he had not died, he would have had the possibility of stepping beyond the Sun and Moon Realm.
Shen Xing quickly realized that controlling the Mysterious Dragon Stele meant controlling these “ghosts”.
“Is there any possibility of you being resurrected?” he asked.
“Replying to the Holy Son, our divine souls have already been destroyed. Although we have regained self-awareness and memories, we are essentially no longer ourselves. Compared to divine souls, we are lacking something. However, we can serve as artifact spirits.” Huang Xingjie was still the one who answered.
“Artifact spirits.” Shen Xing nodded slightly.
He understood.
These people were indeed dead, but they could become the artifact spirits of divine weapons. Or rather, they now existed as artifact spirits.
The artifact spirits of the Mysterious Dragon Stele.
However, they did not have full control over the Mysterious Dragon Stele, but only controlled parts of it, scattered throughout the secret realm.
But if that was the case, then he only needed to refine some divine weapons to let them inhabit them, and perhaps they could temporarily leave the secret realm. With such a group of people, they might become his trusted subordinates.
Regardless of whether the respect he received as the “Holy Son” was real or fake, the fact that he could control the Mysterious Dragon Stele meant that he controlled all of them.
This was also a huge gain.
However, Shen Xing did not say anything for the time being. He just continued to carefully observe everything in the secret realm.
Although the secret realm was not destroyed, it was not completely spared. It could be seen that many things in the secret realm had been violently looted.
Large areas of the medicine field were empty, with only a few spiritual herbs left growing.
After all, the Dragon Qi was insufficient, and these people could only use two dilapidated puppet bodies.
The forging pavilion was also clean, with not even many materials left.
Not to mention the scripture pavilion. Some places where jade slips were placed were all swept clean, and even many restrictions were severely damaged.
However, not everything was gone.
All the Earth Grade and above martial path intents in the scripture pavilion were stored in the Mysterious Dragon Stele. Now, Shen Xing could read them at will. There were more than seven hundred of them, and among them, seventy-two were Dragon-Type!
Some of them were also available in the Tianyuan Sect. Obviously, they were obtained by the Tianyuan Sect through trials in this secret realm.
But they were also in the minority.
In eight thousand years, the Tianyuan Sect had not been able to empty the martial path intents here. From this, it could be seen that the disciples they cultivated were indeed not good enough.
Just these seventy-two Earth Grade Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents were an enormous gain for Shen Xing!
This number of Earth Grade martial path intents was enough to completely solidify his Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, which had just reached the Heaven Grade level, at the Heaven Grade level.
Moreover, Shen Xing only took a cursory glance and found several body movement techniques that were better than the Nine Transformations of the Roaming Dragon and more suitable for space. The same was true for weapon techniques. Among them, there was even an Earth Grade High-Grade fast saber technique called “Startling Dragon Saber Technique”.
“It seems that I have to use a saber again.” Shen Xing became more and more surprised as he looked.
In addition to the martial path intents, there were also two treasures in the alchemy room and the artifact refining room that were integrated with the secret realm and could not be looted. They were a pill furnace and an artifact furnace. Although there were traces of damage on them, they were still intact overall.
In addition to the formation structures of other trial grounds, it could be said that most of the truly valuable parts of the entire Mysterious Dragon Secret Realm still existed.
◈◈◈
What was looted were just some scattered accumulations.
“Not bad,” Shen Xing finally said, “This place will belong to me from now on.”
“It should be so.” Huang Xingjie and the other one hundred and seventy-two people were all overjoyed.
Although Shen Xing did not say that he would rebuild the Mysterious Dragon Palace, taking over this secret realm was equivalent to accepting his identity as the Holy Son of the Mysterious Dragon Palace and also accepting the karma.
For these dead souls, this was simply the day of their rebirth!
Not only their rebirth, but also the rebirth of the entire Mysterious Dragon Palace!
“The operation of the secret realm requires Dragon Qi, right?” Shen Xing smiled slightly and raised his hand. A dragon crystal appeared in his hand.
“Dragon Crystal!” Huang Xingjie was even more delighted.
“I found this by chance in the ruins of the Mysterious Dragon Palace. Use it sparingly.” Shen Xing directly brought this dragon crystal close to the Mysterious Dragon Stele.
In an instant, the entire secret realm seemed to be activated. Many places that had been ineffective began to operate again.
After all, for thousands of years, the secret realm could only rely on absorbing Yuan Qi from the underground spiritual veins and the outside world, but because of the lack of Dragon Qi, it could only barely operate.
But now that there was a dragon crystal, it was different.
Almost all the structures that were still intact could operate again.
This design concept of using an energy core to support the operation of the entire secret realm was actually similar to the technology of medium and large spaceships in the Human Federation.
Of course, Shen Xing did not have many dragon crystals. At this time, he quickly used his authority to take control.
“Most of the places can be closed. Currently, only the Beast Fighting Arena and the medicine field need to be opened.” Shen Xing quickly said, “The function of the medicine field is to transform some spiritual herbs into dragon-type spiritual herbs? In the future, more spiritual herbs can be transplanted here. However, the Beast Fighting Arena is the main thing.”
The function of the Beast Fighting Arena was to help trialists quickly refine Dragon Qi during battle.
Compared to directly refining a dragon crystal, the efficiency was many times higher.
Coupled with pills and demon beasts as sparring partners, cultivating and fighting in the Beast Fighting Arena for one day was equivalent to a week of hard training outside.
Since there was such a convenience, Shen Xing would naturally not waste it.
He had now decided to cultivate fiercely in the Beast Fighting Arena.
To quickly improve his realm.
As for other things, they could be put aside for now.
Anyway, he had already obtained the secret realm and left a spatial anchor point. He did not have to worry about anything.
“List the things needed to restore the operation of the secret realm, or each of you give me a design drawing of a puppet body. After I go out, I will see if I can get them.” Shen Xing instructed Huang Xingjie and the others, and then entered the Beast Fighting Arena again.
There was no other way. The resources required for other trials were insufficient, and with his Third Realm strength, even if he went, he would not gain much.
Now, only the Beast Fighting Arena was most suitable for him.
Thus, with the appearance of eight Fourth Realm demon beasts, Shen Xing quickly entered into cultivation.
If he was hungry, he would take out the delicious food from the shuttle space, or simply roast the demon beasts on the spot. If he was tired, he would take out the sleep therapy equipment to rest. Occasionally, he would return to the Academy Home Planet to show his face and learn some Earth Grade martial path intents. There was even a hot spring in the secret realm that tempered the body. Although not much medicinal power remained, it was enough to relieve the fatigue of his body. Even if he was bored, he had those direct disciples to chat with. Although these people had no bodies, their knowledge was truly extensive, especially their understanding of martial arts.
Under their guidance, he learned a new Earth Grade High-Grade Dragon-Type body movement technique called “Flash Space” and the “Startling Dragon” saber technique. Both of them reached Minor Completion from the entry level in a short period of time.
The speed of improvement was astonishing even to himself.
He could only say that this kind of life was extremely satisfying to him.
If possible, he even wanted to stay here all the time, cultivating to the Spirit Realm, or even the Mountain and Sea Realm, before going out.
But unfortunately, this was impossible.
Although most of the treasures in the secret realm were still there, many resources were already in short supply.
After just one and a half months, all the Fourth Realm demon beasts were swept away by Shen Xing.
As an important part of the Beast Fighting Arena, without demon beasts, the Beast Fighting Arena could not be used. After all, part of the special Yuan Qi that Shen Xing absorbed also came from the bodies of the demon beasts.
And after another seven or eight days, the medicinal power in the hot spring was also completely exhausted.
After another ten days or so, even the last bit of spiritual herbs in the medicine field were consumed by Shen Xing.
In these short two months, the entire secret realm could be said to be unprecedentedly poor. According to Huang Xingjie, even when the Mysterious Dragon Palace was destroyed and the enemies broke in and looted everything, it was not as clean as it was now.
“Three dragon crystals have also been used up, leaving only four.” Shen Xing swallowed a pill, stood up, and stretched. “Late Third Realm! It’s time to go out.”
That’s right, these two months of hard training had actually raised his strength to the Late Third Realm!
You know, in his original expectation, it would take at least a year and a half to reach this realm.
But now, counting the time since he broke through to the Third Realm, it had only taken four months in total.
