Chapter 1171 – Selective Mystic Realm

Chapter 1171 – Selective Mystic Realm

The Endless Sea’s Land of Disorder had a resounding reputation. To cultivators at the Origin God realm and below, it was a place filled with harsh dangers. But in Qin Yu’s eyes, if it was compared to the Cold Sea that lay deep within the darkest depths of the abyss, it was at least a few levels worse.

Moreover, Qin Yu was stronger than when he entered the Cold Sea…with a body that had been enlightened of the light and darkness, his gains were not limited to just being able to use the power of the abyss in the vast brightness world.

In any part of the world, as long as light shined, there were shadows – a part of the darkness. Light and darkness were opposites but coexisted, and wherever these two sides existed was Qin Yu’s domain.

Strong winds howled, sweeping over the turbid waves. Rumbles filled the air. Qin Yu walked forward with a calm expression, surrounded by darkness.

He was like a shadow. Completely restraining his aura, he constantly made his way deeper into the Land of Disorder.

The reason was simple. Qin Yu’s goal was to cross the Endless Sea. As long as he accomplished this then he would have accomplished his goal of gaining fame.

With this target in mind, less trouble would be better.

By hiding in the darkness he could avoid unnecessary accidents. Qin Yu had thought about things well, but the reason things were called accidents was that they happened whether one planned for them or not.

Surrounded by darkness, Qin Yu came to a stop. He looked into the distance where a wild aura was constantly being released.

He could feel a trace of abnormal fluctuations in this wild aura. His complexion changed – a mystic realm had opened.

Before, it was said that the Land of Disorder in the latter half of the Endless Sea was extremely terrifying, but at the same time, numerous lucky chances were bred here.

A mystic realm was one of the most appealing kinds.

Mystic realms created under unknown variables were often guarded by powerful creatures. After killing them, one could obtain rewards.

This was also one of the possibilities for gaining fame that Qin Yu had considered before. But because of the uncertainty of encountering one, he had eventually removed it as an option.

But now, it seemed that his luck was good. He hadn’t been in the Land of Disorder for long and had managed to stumble into a mystic realm.

Although the aura movement here was chaotic, Qin Yu could sense the auras of many cultivators.

It seemed that the opening of this mystic realm had attracted lots of people. Perhaps a fierce battle had already erupted just outside the entrance.

It had to be known that in the history of cultivators who entered the Land of Disorder, over half of them died. And, a considerable portion of them had died at the hands of their companions.

Should he take a look and join in on the fun?

He hesitated a little. Rushing through a mystic realm was indeed one of the best choices to earn fame, and there were also unknown harvests to be found.

But this would cost time. Qin Yu only had one month to rush through the Endless Sea.

Compared to this, entering a mystic realm would produce much less fame.

Whatever, there was no need to go through so much trouble. As long as he rushed through the Endless Sea he could achieve his goal.

Restraining his thoughts, Qin Yu turned to leave. When the mystic realm opened more and more fluctuations would spread out, attracting greater numbers of cultivators here. This would soon become a place of turmoil.

Since he didn’t want to get drawn into the mess, it was best to leave as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was the sound of splitting air. Two sounds came out one after another, tearing through the winds and waves as they raced forward. The one escaping at the front was a woman. When she saw the darkness where Qin Yu was, her eyes lit up and she rushed towards him without hesitation.

“Fellow daoist, save me!”

The person chasing her was also a woman. Her eyes were as cold as a saber.

Qin Yu dodged to the side. He had no interest in becoming a shield and blocking sabers for others, even if the woman was beautiful.

The woman didn’t think that Qin Yu would respond so quickly and not even show any empathy or tender-hearted compassion for her. She rolled her eyes, but as she felt the swift and fierce aura of the insane woman chasing after her, she couldn’t help but feel fear.

She waved a hand and threw a ball at Qin Yu. Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows and was about to dodge again when he suddenly stopped.

Pa –

He reached out a hand and caught the ball.

In the world of his mind, Old Turtle was extremely excited. “This is it, this is a pure soul aura!”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. His grip on the ball tightened. Old Turtle was a shadow of the abyss. After rebelling and fleeing, he could no longer obtain the approval of the abyss’ will.

If he wanted to survive, he had to constantly be supplemented with strength. This was the reason for the existence of the Nightmare Beast Realm.

After entering the vast brightness world, the matter of how to extend Old Turtle’s life had become a question for Qin Yu.

Originally, Qin Yu thought about entering Peach Blossom Spring first, and then borrowing the power of the so-called Holy Land to seek out treasures that could supplement Old Turtle’s strength.

He never thought he would find a harvest today.

Although he didn’t know what mysteries Old Turtle had, the little blue lamp’s regard for him was unquestionable.

At this moment, Qin Yu made a decision. He would enter this mystic realm before him.

The chasing woman shouted, “Give that bead to me!”

She pointed a finger at Qin Yu. Air blasted open, forming a sharp blade.

Qin Yu flicked his sleeves. Turbulence surged out like a wave, instantly submerging the sharp aura. The chasing woman was shaken and sent tumbling away.

She looked deeply at Qin Yu. Her reaction was decisive enough. She turned and vanished into the sea.

The woman who had been chased had reacted faster. She had already fled the scene.

These two girls were smart enough, otherwise Qin Yu wouldn’t have minded giving them a taste of the consequences of provoking him.

He couldn’t be bothered to waste time with them. He took several steps forward and passed through the waves.

The mystic realm was on the seabed. To be exact, it was an independent space. The strength coming from the mystic realm pushed away the sea water, forming a blank region.

In normal circumstances, the higher level a mystic realm was, the more strength it would release and thus the larger the independent space would be.

Qin Yu plunged into the sea and glanced at the mystic realm. With one look, he was able to approximate the area of the mystic realm.

This wasn’t too large…at most it could be considered a middle-level mystic realm. This was also a bit strange. A mystic realm that could produce beads which could supplement the strength of Old Turtle was unexpectedly only a middle-level one.

Qin Yu was confused, but since he was here he would find the answer sooner or later.

As he expected, many cultivators had gathered outside the mystic realm. He could feel the residual fluctuations in the turbulent sea water; it was clear they had already fought against each other.

Qin Yu soon discovered the reason for why people started fighting before the mystic opened. In the center of the empty space there was an incomparably black stone. The surface of the black stone had a crack, and rays of rainbow-colored light constantly gushed out.

It was clear that this black stone was the carrier of the mystic realm. With a boom, a ball shot out of the crack, piercing through the blank area and flying away from the mystic realm.

Bang –

A competition instantly erupted. Dozens of cultivators fought brutally. Qin Yu hesitated but didn’t compete, because Old Turtle was telling him that the ball had only been contaminated with a little aura, and the true treasure was inside the mystic realm.

Several unfriendly eyes fell on Qin Yu, but that was it. Before the mystic realm fully opened, no one was willing to easily start a fight.

The competition for the round bead soon ended. The winning cultivator had a pale face as he tightly held the bead. It was clear he had to pay some price to obtain it.

The other competing cultivators had dark expressions but they restrained themselves.

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. It seemed that the two women he met before had already hated each other, and it wasn’t just about competing for the bead.

This thought soon passed. No matter what the truth was, it wasn’t related to him so he didn’t need to care about it.

He looked at the crack in the black stone and the multicolored light that kept spewing out. He narrowed his eyes.

This mystic realm’s treasure, it was his!

An hour later, far more cultivators had gathered outside the mystic realm than before. Someone looked at Qin Yu for a bit longer than usual.

It was him!

This person was one of the cultivators who had come into conflict with Zhou Huan on the ship. He never thought that this person would separate from his companions and appear here alone.

But this time, Qin Yu wasn’t in the mood to care about him. Because the crack on the black stone was growing increasingly large – the mystic realm was about to open!

Bang –

Suddenly, a low and deep ringing sound came from the black stone. The empty area produced by the sea water that was pushed away immediately stabilized.

This meant that the mystic realm had fully opened!

“Let’s go!”

“The treasure is ours!”

“Kill anyone who dares to compete with us!”

Without hesitation, the waiting crowds rushed into the open region.

But the people who entered the open region found that they still couldn’t pass through the crack to enter the mystic realm.

“How hateful, this is a selective mystic realm!” A cultivator roared.

The Land of Disorder was famous for its chaos, and the mystic realms it produced were also extremely chaotic. All sorts of things were known to exist.

The so-called selective mystic realm was one of the more disgusting and cruel ones. After it opened up, it allowed cultivators to enter the mystic realm’s open space.

But this didn’t mean they could smoothly enter the mystic realm. On the contrary, this was where the true test began.

The selective mystic realm only allowed a limited number of cultivators to enter. If the number of people surpassed the allowed quota, then the gate to the mystic realm would remain closed.

Forcibly opening the mystic realm would lead to its self-destruction. No one would be able to obtain anything.

“Get out of my way!” With a roar, a cultivator attacked. He punched out and sent one person flying away.

This empty space was the selection area. Once the number of people here was reduced to a level that satisfied the mystic realm, it would voluntarily open and drag in the selected people.

Then, the mystic realm would go into hiding. The remaining cultivators outside would lose all opportunity to do anything.

The competition entered a superheated phase from the start. Besides the companions that one came here with, everyone else was an enemy.

It was because of this that cultivators who entered the Land of Disorder mostly chose to go with companions. Unless someone was extremely confident in their strength or had no idea how immense the heavens and earth was, they rarely went alone.

This was the reason Yun Che asked Qin Yu to stay, and also the reason why Zhou Huan mocked him.

Qin Yu didn’t enter the fray. There were too many people right now. It wouldn’t be too late once some of them were eliminated.

In short, this mystic realm’s treasure was his no matter what.
