He had heard that decades ago, a large number of ferocious beasts had emerged from the underwater secret realm.
Dark Star and Mad Sword led the Nascent Soul cultivators in the fight against the endless beast tide, which lasted for more than a decade.
This must be the effect of the "level confusion" that Mad Sword mentioned last time.
That underwater secret realm is extraordinary!
Dark Star explained, "Lin Ye, this underwater secret realm was formed when the four continents first collided with the edge of the Great World."
"The specific mechanism is unclear and very mysterious."
"Each level is inhabited by different types of monsters!"
"The treasures you can find inside are different from the types of enemies you encounter in life."
"But in general, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes."
"Dark Star and I each explored more than 30 levels."
"At this level, we have to rely on the Covenant's advanced technology to imitate and blend into the aura of the local monsters in order to move around smoothly."
"Once we remove our disguise, we will be in great danger when surrounded."
Mad Sword frowned and said, "The last time the levels were disrupted, the monsters that flooded the surface came from the 21st level, causing turmoil for more than ten years."
"Recently, the anomalies in the underwater realm have become even more severe than those before the last disturbance..."
Lin Ye nodded.
"Could the problem lie deeper?"
Dark Star said helplessly, "The origins of the mechanisms here are all mysteries. I can only say that it's possible!"
"If it's a level that even Mad Sword and I haven't encountered yet, and it's been left on the surface... that would be a huge problem!"
Lin Ye also frowned slightly.
How many floors are there in total?
"The biggest problem lies here—the Star Alliance claims it has 40 layers, but in reality, we have no idea how deep it is!"
Dark Star said in a deep voice.
Mad Sword broke out in a slight sweat and said, "The entire Star Alliance civilization is buried deep underground..."
"Ordinary crises are not dangerous to us at all."
“However, if it’s a deep-level monster—the problem will be very serious, Lin Ye, it will be a big scene.”
"Yes!"
Dark Star crossed his arms and laughed, "This is also a good time for you to rack up merits, haha!"
"If it's just a monster on the 20th floor, it shouldn't be that serious. Just relax."
Lin Ye nodded and said, "Contact me if there are any further developments."
Underwater Secrets...
After hanging up the communication with the two, Lin Ye seemed to be deep in thought.
He felt that he still lacked respect within the Star Alliance.
It's not a matter of insufficient strength.
Rather, it's because, compared to powerful figures like Dark Star Mad Sword who have been active in the Star Alliance for over a hundred years, Lin Ye's performance in some battles is still lacking.
Therefore, it will still cause some controversy, both in terms of public opinion and in the allocation of resources.
As long as there's a chance...
Let him demonstrate his strength.
And the results I achieved some time ago, such as the Sword-Slaying Blade Shattering Stars, also need to be proven to the outside world!
After that, it will be more legitimate for him to obtain some of the resources mentioned above.
Lin Ye pondered that the unusual activity in the underwater secret realm might be a good opportunity.
I do intend to try out the Sword-Slaying Blade, Star Shatterer.
This proves the enhancement this thing provides to the immortals and gods, as well as its own formidable power.
After all, if there isn't a stage to showcase it, the Star Alliance's top brass and the people at the highest research institute know how powerful this thing is.
However, the outside world is unaware of the value of the spiritual artifact that Lin Ye crafted.
The Ship-Slaying Blade: Star Shattering is a top-tier accessory that can be considered part of a decisive battle weapon, a top-tier spiritual weapon that can grow together with the Immortal Ancient God!
Chapter 260 Old Li has been found; a historic reconciliation.
Mad Sword and Dark Star did not appear as relaxed as they seemed.
After ending their communication with Lin Ye, the two looked at the fluctuating values displayed on the instrument with solemn expressions.
Mad Sword said in a deep voice, "How many layers do you think will be connected to the surface this time?"
"Are you in your 30s?"
"No... this number might be in the 40s."
Dark Star put down the instruments, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
In terms of the opportunities and treasures it contains, this underwater secret realm can be described as an inexhaustible holy land.
It's just that external exploration seems to cause fluctuations in space, and the exact extent of the danger is unclear.
Therefore, the Star Alliance's research on it is still in a relatively early stage.
Mad Sword and Dark Star were somewhat uneasy.
This spatial fluctuation may be the result of them exploring inside for too long and too deeply!
Dark Star's expression darkened: "If it's a level above 40, then we'll have to use the All-Encompassing Forge..."
"And then there's Lin Ye's ancient divine construct. Perhaps, we've truly reached a point where we have no choice but to rely on his power."
"Let's go, Mad Sword... even if it means sinking deeper and deeper..."
"It is essential to record the nature of enemies beyond the 40th floor before any confusion occurs."
"Okay, let's go!"
The two moved forward, heading towards deeper levels.
The Dark Ages.
One afternoon, Lin Ye suddenly received good news.
"Have we found Old Li?"
"The Kunpeng clan has split off... Understood!"
Lin Ye put down the report, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
He had indeed considered this possibility.
That is, Old Li and his family were kidnapped from Lingxiao City while the Kunpeng Clan's branch family was investigating them.
However, when he sent people to investigate, the Kunpeng clan branch denied it outright.
Now, in the aftermath of the Xuan Ding Realm incident.
The other party eventually gave in.
The power and potential that Lin Ye displayed made them abandon the idea that they could threaten him by having something on him about his past as a rogue cultivator.
Now, those who knew about the Qingyang Sect back then, including Old Li's family, are still in the know.
It's already on its way from the Great Wilderness.
Lin Ye expressed her anticipation.
They also accepted the negotiation request from the Kunpeng clan branch leader.
That evening, he received the man in the main hall.
Chuitian Ancestor, the patriarch of a branch of the Kunpeng Clan, and the younger sister of the Golden Roc King.
Because she had absorbed too much of the male cultivators' vital energy, she was disliked by her elder brother.
She, on the other hand, was full of energy.
It seems poised to break through to the Mahayana stage.
But in front of Lin Ye, the Ancestor Chuitian restrained his aura, lowered his eyes, and spoke cautiously.
"Your Highness, I don't know how to gain your trust."
“But all the sources I’ve found that are connected to your past experiences have been sent over this time.”
"I don't have any left..."
"I give up!"
The old ancestor Chuitian looked on in shock and exclaimed, "Dual cultivation cultivators are never good at direct combat. Your Highness's genius is truly unheard of!"
Lin Ye's eyes flickered.
This Ancestor Chuitian was, after all, a cultivator from the Imperial Palace, and she was loyal to the Lord of the Great Wilderness.
Killing her would not only be a loss of combat power, but also have far greater implications.
It would be best if she could back down on her own.
Given Lin Ye's current status, the rumors he heard during his time at the Qingyang Sect are nothing more than a gentle breeze.
It had no effect on him whatsoever.
Therefore, how exactly to do it depends on the person's sincerity.
Lin Ye chuckled and said, "The origin of the dual cultivation path is the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanity, who ascended to immortality by sleeping with ten women in one night. His potential has never been low."
"But I have never heard of the Yellow Emperor using female cultivators' sexual energy to his death."
"This shows that going too far is as bad as not going far enough."
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Ancestor felt somewhat ashamed and said, "Your Highness's reprimand is correct..."
She remained silent for a moment, then took out a jade box.
"Your Highness, this is an apology to you."
"let me see."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Ye summoned spiritual energy that swept the jade box towards him.
Inside the exquisite white jade box, a black whip lay quietly.
And this whip exudes an incomparably powerful aura.
For some reason, Lin Ye felt that the whip had a somewhat evil purpose.
The old ancestor explained, "This is a sixth-grade spiritual weapon, the God-Slaying Whip!"
"It is excellent whether used in combat or in daily life."
"Even without infusing spiritual energy, it can be used for dual cultivation."
"Moreover, this God-Slaying Whip can inflict additional damage on female cultivators during battle, making it extremely effective against them."
Lin Ye couldn't help but marvel.
"You actually have such a good thing!"
The Old Ancestor of the Sky-Covering Sect lowered his head, his eyes showing some pain.
"Yes, I obtained this whip by chance... It is the most precious thing I possess, so I am giving it to Your Highness."
"Furthermore, if Your Highness needs my insights on dual cultivation..."
Lin Ye waved his hand: "Take them all."
Two months later.
Under Lin Ye's witness, the Kunpeng clan's branch family and main family reached a great reconciliation.
