Chapter 4231 - 4231 Natural Secret Realm

4231 Natural Secret Realm

It was difficult to obtain battle merits on the Realm Battlefield.

To open secret realms for advanced Emperors of Gods, one needed a lot of battle merits. Under normal circumstances, it would take hundreds of years for an advanced Emperor of Gods to accumulate enough merits to do so.

However, Duan Ling Tian was an exception. It was easy for him to accumulate battle merits since he was strong enough to kill ordinary Supreme Gods and obtain their battle merits. Despite being an advanced Emperor of Gods, his speed of accumulating battle merits was much faster than that of an ordinary intermediate Supreme God.

'I can only open secret realms that correspond to my cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods. There are two kinds of secret realms: a multi-person secret realm and a single-person secret realm. I need quite a lot of battle merits to open a single-person secret realm. In comparison, it doesn't require as many battle merits to open a multi-person secret realm. However, if I use more battle merits to open a multi-person secret realm, I'll have fewer competitors in the secret realm.'

Everyone needed to contribute the same battle merits to open a multi-person secret realm. However, if one used more battle merits, one could open a two-person secret realm.

As for single-person secret realms, one needed to reach a certain level or accumulate enough battle merits to open it. If one's battle merits exceeded the threshold, the secret realm would turn into a higher-level secret realm. Needless to say, a higher-level secret realm would have many more treasures and fortuitous encounters.

'I'll continue to accumulate battle merits for now instead of entering a secret realm. When that place is about to open, I'll enter the single-person secret realm. Based on the current speed that I'm accumulating battle merits, I'm sure I'll have a lot of battle merits at that time. With so many battle merits, the single-person secret realm I open will definitely be of a high level. However, it'll be even better if I open the secret realm as a Supreme God. It'll have many opportunities for rudimentary Supreme Gods…'

The secret realm one opened corresponded to one's cultivation base. As such, in multi-person secret realms, only those with similar cultivation bases could enter them, and the treasures and fortuitous encounters in the secret realm were also tailored to one's cultivation base.

For example, treasures and fortuitous encounters useful to Supreme Gods would not appear in the secret realm opened by an advanced Emperor of Gods, and vice versa.

Duan Ling Tian, who could not wait to become a Supreme God, naturally preferred to open and enter a supreme-grade secret realm. His goal was to stabilize his cultivation base in the secret realm.

Over the next period of time, Duan Ling Tian began to wholeheartedly accumulate battle merits and obtain rewards. His cultivation was improving at every moment as well. With this and the help of the third Heavenly Dao Fruit, he would definitely break through into the realm of a Supreme God.

"Hmm?"

Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly. He had just killed an advanced Emperor of Gods from the Sanction Land when he felt as though he was being watched. His eyes narrowed as he looked at a barren hill in the distance. He quickly released his Divine Consciousness as well and soon discovered another advanced Emperor of Gods.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian discovered the other party, the other party quickly flew out and said guiltily, "I have no malicious intention! I'm also from the Divine Offering Land. I heard the commotion earlier so I came to have a look. I, I saw you easily kill that man from the Sanction Land. You're really powerful! You should be an imminent Supreme God, right?"

The other party was a frail and friendly young man. Despite his friendliness, he was clearly afraid of Duan Ling Tian. His eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation when he asked Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian was an imminent Supreme God.

"Imminent Supreme God?" Duan Ling Tian was slightly stunned. After a moment, he said with a nod, "That's right."

The strongest advanced Emperors of Gods were imminent Supreme Gods. It was not wrong to say that Duan Ling Tian, who was undoubtedly the strongest advanced Emperor of Gods, was an imminent Supreme God.

Up until now, Duan Ling Tian did not only kill advanced Emperors of Gods and Supreme Gods from the Sanction Land, but he also killed a lot of people from the Divine Offering Land, including two rudimentary Supreme Gods. However, it had to be said that the people from the Divine Offering Land he killed attacked him first. He did not attack those who did not take the initiative to attack him.

Duan Ling Tian had only encountered a few people from the Divine Offering Land who did not take the initiative to attack him.

At this time, after receiving Duan Ling Tian's confirmation, the seemingly frail young man's eyes lit up. He said, "I'm Hou Lian Yu, and I'm a member of the Hou clan, a heavyweight supreme-rank clan in the Divine Offering Land! What's your name?"

"Duan Ling Tian," Duan Ling Tian replied. At the same time, he studied the young man in front of him. He did not expect the young man to be a member of a heavyweight supreme-rank clan in the Divine Offering Land. As a heavyweight supreme-rank clan, it was similar to the Myriad Laws Academy and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation in the Profound Energy Land.

"Big Brother Duan," Hou Lian Yu called out.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback by the way Hou Lian Yu addressed him. Then, he said, "I might not be older than you."

"I know," Hou Lian Yu said with a smile, "However, in my eyes, those who are stronger have higher seniority. Since you're stronger than I am, it's not wrong for me to address you as 'big brother'. Big Brother Duan, since fate brought us together, I have a suggestion. I'm looking for someone to enter an emperor-grade secret realm with me. Are you interested in joining me? You don't have to use your battle merits to enter this secret realm. The secret realm I mentioned is a natural secret realm that already exists on the Realm Battlefield. I, along with a few people, happened to be lucky enough to find one."

Upon hearing Hou Lian Yu's words, Duan Ling Tian, who was about to ignore Hou Lian Yu and leave, stopped in his tracks. His interest was piqued. "You and a few people found a secret realm?"

Apart from secret realms that could only open using battle merits, there were also natural secret realms on the Realm Battlefield. This secret realm was rare and mysterious, and one had to be very lucky to come across it. Even Yang Yu Chen, Duan Ling Tian's Third Senior Brother, who spent nearly 1,000 years on the Realm Battlefield 10,000 years ago, did not come across a natural secret realm.

Only a limited number of people could enter a natural secret realm, and there was also a restriction on cultivation bases. Only those with the same cultivation bases could enter the natural secret realm.

Hou Lian Yu grinned as he said, "To be precise, I, along with another three people, found the natural secret realm! Among the three, one of them is also from the Hou clan!"

As Hou Lian Yu spoke, Duan Ling Tian discovered a trace of disgust in Hou Lian Yu's eyes.

"As for the other two people, they're from another heavyweight supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land. I personally know both of them from before. The four of us came to an agreement to find a person each to enter the natural secret realm. That secret realm can accommodate ten people, but we plan to enter with only eight people. Since there are four of us, it's the fairest for us to bring a person each. I met a few powerful advanced Emperors of Gods before this and wanted to invite them. Alas, they either wanted to kill me, ignored me, or rejected me because they were worried that I and the others would kill them," Hou Lian Yu said with a helpless expression on his face.

Hou Lian Yu continued to say, "Big Brother Duan, if you're not interested, then I won't persuade you anymore."

Hou Lian Yu seemed prepared to be rejected at this moment.

"Why don't you and the others look for your respective friends? Why would you look for strangers on the Realm Battlefield?" Duan Ling Tian asked skeptically. After all, it would be easy if Hou Lian Yu had just looked for his clan member to enter the natural secret realm with him. Moreover, it would carry lower risks.

Hou Lian Yu said, "We have our concerns. If we find fellow members to enter the secret realm, it's likely that news of us entering a natural secret realm would spread. All of us aren't very prominent in our respective forces. It'll only bring trouble to us if the news spreads. Moreover, it's best for us to choose strong people to enter the secret realm with us. However, if the other party we chose from our respective force is too strong, it definitely won't be good for us…"

Although Hou Lian Yu was brief with his explanation, Duan Ling Tian could easily guess Hou Lian Yu's thoughts.

If Hou Lian Yu invited someone from the same clan who was stronger than him, the other party would be privy to the treasures and fortuitous encounters that Hou Lian Yu obtained. At that time, who knew if the other party would try to rob those things from him or cause trouble? The risk, although not completely gone, was minimized if he invited an outsider. After all, an outsider would not be able to easily enter the Hou clan's estate to cause trouble. Even if the outsider exposed the fact that Hou Lian Yu had obtained treasures, not many would believe it and would only dismiss the outsider as trying to stir up trouble.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian stared at Hou Lian Yu with a probing gaze as he asked, "If I enter the secret realm with you and join forces with you, how are we going to divide our gains?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Lian Yu smiled and replied, "Big Brother Duan, you're much stronger than I am. Things you obtain on your own are all yours. If you need my help, then I'll take a 30% share. In regards to the things we find, they'll belong to the first person who obtains it."

Hou Lian Yu seemed very sincere when he spoke.

"Alright," Duan Ling Tian agreed immediately, "Apart from that, if I obtain things that aren't useful to me, you can have them. They might be of use to you. Think of it as a 'thank you' for your invitation."

Hou Lian Yu's smile widened upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words. He said excitedly, "I really didn't invite the wrong person! Big Brother Duan, you're really considerate!"

As Hou Lian Yu spoke, he gave Duan Ling Tian a thumbs-up to express his admiration.

"Big Brother Duan, the others and I agreed to meet in three months. There's a month left until then. Shall we make our way there now?" Hou Lian Yu asked.

"Alright," Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. He was not worried that Hou Lian Yu would deceive him. After all, Hou Lian Yu had no reason to do so. If Hou Lian Yu wanted to deceive someone, he would not be so stupid as to find an imminent Supreme God to deceive.

Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was confident about his ability to read people. He dared not say he was 100% certain that Hou Lian Yu was not lying, but he was 80% to 90% certain.
