Chapter 476: Chapter 396 Original Secret Realm Chapter 476: Chapter 396 Original Secret Realm Vermilion Bird Palace, in a certain conference hall, Su Yuan followed Yan Changming inside.

Inside, there were already two people.

Sitting in the main seat, it was none other than Wang Xu, who was with Xu Fengtian during Su Yuan’s first mission.

Wang Xu glanced at Su Yuan and Yan Changming as they entered. He nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Have a seat.”

Su Yuan and Yan Changming sat down on one side, then began to observe the other person sitting across from them.

This was a young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with short brown hair and a slim build. He was also watching this side.

To be precise, he was watching Yan Changming.

“Yan Changming, I heard you’ve been in seclusion recently for cultivation, so you missed the last few waves,” the young man across the table said, resting his chin on his hands. “It’s been over six months. How’s your new skill coming along?”

“The last few waves? Going in?” Su Yuan’s heart stirred, and he began to ponder.

Yan Changming remained expressionless and said, “It’s okay, barely reached Great Success.”

“Oh?” The young man across the table squinted his eyes slightly. “Just over six months, and you managed to train an epic skill to Great Success? You really are something…”

Yan Changming turned the question back, “And you, Baili Ge, how come you didn’t go?”

“I’ve been in the Western Desert. I just got back a few days ago,” the young man across the table leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and curled his lips. “If it weren’t for solving the hidden threat in the Western Desert, I’d have been back long ago.”

Yan Changming nodded without saying more.

From this exchange, Su Yuan understood the identity of the man across from them.

Baili Ge, also a First Level Special Envoy of the Vermilion Bird Imperial.

Two First Level Special Envoys…

Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation.

Just then, another person walked in from outside, someone Su Yuan happened to know.

It was none other than Tian Bulue, from Su Yuan’s first barrier mission.

Seeing Su Yuan, Tian Bulue was quite surprised, with a look of slight relief in his eyes. He nodded towards Su Yuan.

As he watched Tian Bulue take a seat opposite him, Su Yuan began to speculate.

“A promotion task for Tian Bulue?”

Firstly, since Yan Changming and Baili Ge were genuine First Level Special Envoys, this task was likely a Three-star mission entirely executed by First Level Special Envoys.

As for himself… he assumed it was because he was a Barrier Master.

Secondly, from previous missions, Tian Bulue had always been quite steady, yet he already looked solemn before this mission had even started.

So Su Yuan surmised that this task was most likely his promotion mission.

After all, if he failed three times, Tian Bulue would have no more chances.

“Alright, since everyone is here, let’s begin explaining why we have gathered you all here today.”

Seeing everyone had arrived, Wang Xu reined in his expression and looked at everyone as he slowly started speaking.

“The Earth Tribulation has begun. Since you are all part of the division, you must have some understanding of the situation.”

“Earth Tribulation, first and foremost, is the proliferation of Star Veins, plunging the continent into chaos.

For example, the first Dog-level Star Vein between Great Flame and Xunyang Domain wiped out three Shining Star level forces in less than half a month.

And not long ago, the first Wolf Vein also appeared, drawing in a dozen or so small and medium-sized forces, causing even a Radiant Moon level to perish!”

Yan Changming and the others seemed to have heard about this before, but it was Su Yuan’s first time hearing of it, causing his heart to tense.

Just a single Wolf Vein, and even a Radiant Moon level expert had died?

The intensity of the competition was beyond what he had imagined!

Actually, after a slight thought, it made sense. Regions with Star Veins had stabilized after years of conflict.

Now, with sudden emergence of new Star Veins, which could significantly accelerate cultivation and strengthen power bases, no force or lone expert could remain indifferent.

In reality, people like Su Yuan in Yan Court had access to the entire Star Veins of Great Flame, with star power for cultivation never lacking, only varying in amounts distributed.

However, for those outside of Shining Star or even Radiant Moon levels, they would indeed fight tooth and nail for a single Wolf-level Star Vein.

One could imagine, if Tiger or Dragon Veins appeared next, even more Upper Three-level experts would die.

And the struggle for Dragon Veins could drag even King Level experts into potentially lethal conflicts!

“Originally, we planned to recover the newly emerged Star Veins around Great Flame, observe the evolution of Earth Qi and the formation of Star Veins, and wait for the advent of Tiger and Dragon Veins. But now, the situation has changed somewhat…”

At this point, Wang Xu paused.

“The alternation of yin and yang, the reform of Earth Qi, has, with the emergence of new Wolf Veins, suddenly formed teleportation entrances in some places leading to an Original Secret Realm.

Our investigations revealed this Secret Realm’s energy level is not high, only at Shining Star level.

But it is significantly large, we haven’t even finished exploring it. It is likely we’ve only surveyed a corner.”

An Original Secret Realm? A vast Original Secret Realm?

Su Yuan was very surprised, not expecting such a thing to exist.

An Original Secret Realm refers to areas similar to ancient times, where there are no humans or advanced technology. These places often host numerous heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and rare beasts extinct on the main continent.

The larger the Original Secret Realm, the richer and more varied the resources.

But since Wang Xu brought this up, it certainly wasn’t just for some heavenly materials and earthly treasures…’)

Sure enough, Wang Xu continued, “In this Original Secret Realm, there are many star beasts long extinct on Blue Sea Star. There are also various rare materials needed for alchemy and artifact refining.

More importantly, this Original Secret Realm, like the continent, and perhaps even faster, constantly produces new star veins.

Although due to the realm’s current nature, it cannot birth Dragon Veins, it can certainly generate Tiger Veins.

Moreover, given the growth speed of this Original Secret Realm, it will birth Tiger Veins faster than on the continent!”

Baili Ge and Yan Changming might have already known about this, but it was Su Yuan and Tian Bulue’s first time hearing it.

Text: Su Yuan quickly understood what this meant.

Various heavenly materials and Dog, Wolf Second Stage Star Veins could be dismissed.

But if a Tiger-level Star Vein was born, the first Tiger-level Star Vein during the Earth Tribulation…

That would become the fuse for the Earth Tribulation’s start!

Ordinarily, forces on the continent, especially Great Flame and Qiguang, would not directly confront each other soon.

Because a Tiger-level Star Vein concerns Burning Sun level beings.

A single Tiger-level Star Vein could support the cultivation of several Burning Sun level beings.

Even in the Early Stage of the Ancient Forbidden Zone, there are only two Tiger-level Star Veins, divided among four top-tier forces.

An Original Secret Realm about to generate an ownerless Tiger Vein…

Not only Great Flame and Qiguang, but all notable forces on the continent will surely get involved!
