Lu Ye had been here before. At that time, the Pillar of Heaven's Secrets didn't exist. It could be seen that the Pillar of Heaven's Secrets only appeared after the problem with the Realm of Beasts was solved.
From time to time, cultivators of the Nine Provinces would leave through the Pillar of Heaven's Secrets.
For 99% of the cultivators of the Nine Provinces, staying in this secret realm wouldn't benefit them much. They might as well return to the Cloud River Battlefield and try their luck.
The Cloud River Realm was a stage in which cultivators could rapidly increase their cultivation. Any delay would slow down their growth.
Only cultivators like the cultivator surnamed Yu, who cultivated the Beast Taming School, might be able to reap some benefits if they stayed here.
He sent a message to Xia Qianqian, telling her the location of the Pillar of Heaven's Secrets. Xia Qianqian quickly replied, saying that a group of people were on their way.
Lu Ye hid in a corner and waited.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him. Lu Ye turned his head and saw an old man with a goatee looking at him with a smile from behind a table. Their eyes met, and the old man nodded slightly at him.
Was he discovered?
Lu Ye frowned.
His concealment technique was different from that of ghost cultivators. He mainly relied on concealment spirit patterns. Ghost cultivators could conceal themselves because they could use secret techniques unique to ghost cultivators.
In comparison, Lu Ye's concealment technique was slightly inferior to ghost cultivators. After all, he wasn't a professional. However, the difference wasn't too great.
He shouldn't have been discovered so easily.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you can remove your concealment technique. Only cultivators of the Nine Provinces can enter this place. With the Pillar of Heaven's Secrets, cultivators of the Realm of Beasts won't be able to discover you and will never be able to enter this place," the old man with the goatee suddenly said.
This was the first time Lu Ye had heard of such a thing. Moreover, he didn't expect the old man to be from the Nine Provinces!
He'd seen this old man when he came to the main hall of the military supplies with Xia Qianqian and the others. At that time, he'd thought he was from the Realm of Beasts.
Moreover, this old man had recognized his surname. He obviously knew him.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye removed his concealment spirit patterns and revealed himself. He placed his hand on the hilt of his saber and slowly approached the old man. "You know me?"
The old man with the goatee stroked his beard and smiled. "Fellow Daoist Ye's portrait is plastered all over the city. It's hard for me not to recognize you.
"You can even see through my whereabouts!"
This was what Lu Ye was most concerned about. If his concealment level was so bad, then he would have to be careful in the future. He had always felt that his ability in this area was not bad.
The old man smiled. "Not only can I see your whereabouts, I can also see other things."
"Something else?"
The old man looked at the top of Lu Ye's head for a while with a solemn expression, "Over the years, this old man has seen countless people, but I've only seen one person who has Fellow Daoist Ye's luck that soars to the sky and continues to prosper!"
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. "Old Mister knows Qi Divination?"
The Aura Gazing Technique was an extremely rare secret technique in the Nine Provinces. It only existed in legends. Lu Ye had never expected to see one in the main hall of the military supply department in the Realm of Beasts.
He didn't think the old man with the goatee was talking nonsense. Ever since he entered the Cloudriver Battlefield, his luck had been very good. This old man clearly saw something.
"However, although Fellow Daoist's luck is prosperous, there is a strand of purple Qi entangling your luck. Fellow Daoist needs to be careful. In addition … Fellow Daoist's recent affairs have been too smooth. If there are twists and turns, you might lose something."
"Lose what?"
"That depends on what Fellow Daoist can lose."
Lu Ye looked at him expressionlessly.
The old man's words were mysterious, some true and some false. Lu Ye didn't know whether to believe him or not.
"Just now, you said that you've met a person with a Kismet like me. Who is that person?"
The old man said meaningfully, "That person's surname is Feng. He comes from the Jade Blood Sect in the War Province. Does Fellow Daoist know him?"
Lu Ye seriously suspected that this old man had seen through his true identity. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to suddenly mention his Eldest Senior Brother. What made Lu Ye even more concerned was that this old man had actually seen his Eldest Senior Brother.
"We're just chatting casually. Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't need to be so nervous." The old man stroked his beard and smiled. "After all, it's quite boring to stay here all the time. Fellow Daoist, please don't worry. As a member of the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, this old man won't participate in the game between the two factions. "
Lu Ye finally realized something. "You're from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance?"
"Yes!"
It was understandable that a cultivator from the Nine Provinces would be overseeing the military supply department. So he was from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance. In the Nine Provinces, the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance was an extremely special existence. They did all kinds of business with cultivators from both factions. Now that they were in this secret realm, it was indeed only suitable for someone from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance to oversee this place. Otherwise, no matter which faction the cultivator was from, it would be unfair to the cultivators of the other faction.
After learning that the other party was from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, the hostility in Lu Ye's heart lessened. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Old Sir, what's the Heavenly Secret Barrier that you mentioned before?"
The old man with the goatee explained, "Many secret realms have such military supply departments where cultivators of the Nine Provinces can exchange their battle merits for resources. This kind of place is naturally not suitable for people from the secret realm to discover, so the Heavenly Secret Barrier will block this place. Even if they walk past the door, they won't notice this place. In their minds, this is an empty area. The reason I can see through Fellow Daoist's figure isn't because of my own methods. It's because the Heavenly Secret Barrier has bestowed upon me some authority in this hall. That's why I have some methods that I don't normally possess. "
"Even the Aura Gazing Technique?"
"That's really my own ability."
Lu Ye nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "Someone told me that everything in this secret realm has happened in this world before. Is that true?"
"So what if it is? If it isn't, then what? "
"I just want to know. I have no other intentions."
The old man with the goatee looked outside the hall. After a while, he said, "Then Fellow Daoist, do you know how many times this secret realm has been opened?"
"What do you mean?"
"Before this, the Realm of Beasts had been opened seven times in the Cloudy River Battlefield. However, none of the cultivators of the Nine States had managed to solve the problem at its source. All seven times, the Demonic Beasts had broken through Two World City and the human race had been wiped out! Two World City has been destroyed a few times, and I've seen it here a few times. This is the eighth time. I have to thank Fellow Daoist Ye and your companions for saving the Realm of Beasts and Two World City. I don't have to see those hellish scenes anymore. "
Seeing Lu Ye's shocked expression, the old man smiled and said, "That's right. It's just as Fellow Daoist thinks. Every time the Realm of Beasts is destroyed, the next time it opens, it will return to the point where Fellow Daoist entered."
"The Heavenly Secret Barrier is working?"
"The Heavenly Secret Barrier is omnipotent!"
"But we've killed many demon beasts before and even took their cores. If everything is fake, how can we explain it?" Those cores were still in his storage space. No matter how omnipotent the Heavenly Secret Barrier was, it couldn't resurrect all the dead people and demon beasts.
"What Fellow Daoist saw might not be real. Of course, Fellow Daoist's harvest is real. "
"Why would the Heavenly Secret Barrier do this? Is it just to provide a place for cultivators of the Nine States to train? "
"The Heavenly Secret Barrier is unfathomable. I don't dare to question it."
Lu Ye was silent.
"This time, we've solved the problem at its source. Will the Realm of Beasts open again next time?"
"It shouldn't. The problem of the Realm of Beasts has been solved. Everything in the Realm of Beasts will probably develop according to its current trajectory. In the future, this place will definitely attract a large number of beast tamers."
The essence of beast tamers in the Realm of Beasts was not found in the Nine States. Once the news spread, many beast tamers would think of ways to enter this place. Like the cultivator surnamed Yu, many beast tamers would try to cultivate their own beast tamers.
"Of course, there's another possibility. The Realm of Beasts will disappear forever and never appear again." The old man added.
He suddenly looked outside the hall and said, "Fellow Daoist's friends are here."
Lu Ye turned his head and saw nothing, but soon, several hidden figures appeared. Obviously, other than Lu Ye, the others knew that this was a safe place.
Zhou Hai walked straight to the old man, took out his Identity Token and threw it on the table, "Exchange for spirit lots."
The old man nodded with a smile and did as he was told.
Soon, the others also exchanged their battle merits for spirit lots.
Lu Ye also exchanged for spirit lots. Although Pang Dahai had told him that he could keep his battle merits and use them in the future, for Lu Ye, improving his cultivation as soon as possible was the most important thing. Naturally, he had to exchange for spirit lots.
His Second Order Cloud River Realm cultivation was still at the bottom of the entire Cloud River Battlefield.
He had nearly thirty thousand battle merits. In the end, he exchanged for one golden spirit lot, two purple spirit lots, one blue, one green, and two white spirit lots.
In the end, he only had fifty-six battle merits left.
Although he could exchange them for some Spirit Pills or Spirit Stones, Lu Ye didn't do so.
Battle merits were hard to come by and could only be obtained in certain Realms. How could the value of Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones compare?
For cultivators, the greatest value of battle merits was to exchange them for spirit lots.
If you wanted to exchange for spirit lots, you had to participate in an auction. Whether you could get one depended on luck, but as long as you had enough battle merits, you could exchange them for spirit lots at any time.
Everyone gained a lot.
It was time to leave.
Zhou Hai was the first to walk to the Heaven's Fate Pillar. He raised his hand and pressed it, his figure quickly disappearing, followed by Pang Dahai and Xia Qian Qian.
After them was the Seventh Order Body Cultivator, with Lu Ye and Shen Xiao Mao lagging behind. It wasn't that the two of them were being modest, but rather that once they left the Sealed World, they would randomly appear within a hundred kilometres of its entrance, so letting those with higher cultivations leave first was undoubtedly the better choice.
Raising his hand and pressing it on the Heaven's Fate Pillar, his vision changed. When he came back to his senses, he had appeared in a wilderness.
