Chapter 1680: 1680 Chapter 1680: The Desolate Soul World The matter with Mu Xiang was just a minor episode, and the group didn’t pay much attention to it, continuing to drink and chat. Lin The area where the secret realm was located gradually stabilized. The shattered space had long been repaired, and a point of light was born from it. The point of light gradually grew larger, forming an entrance to the secret realm. The entrance to the Maple Forest Secret Realm was several times larger than that of an ordinary secret realm, indicating its uniqueness. However, the entrance to the secret realm was not large to begin with, so even if it was several times larger, it was still too small. After all, there were nearly ten million people here, and it would definitely become crowded. But there was no need to worry about this; the human race had already thought of a solution. Once the entrance to the secret realm was fully formed, the thousand warships moved into action again. They circled around the secret realm, forming a formation once more. This formation connected one end to the secret realm and the other to the outside world, creating a horn-shaped passage. Golden pathways formed within the passage, leading directly to the secret realm. Each warship served as an entrance to the horn-shaped passage, and anyone wanting to enter the secret realm could choose any one of them. In this way, the originally small entrance to the secret realm was forcibly expanded by thousands of times. Xiao Sheng sighed, "It’s time to earn merit points again. Let’s see if we can break the record this time and earn a lot of Divine City merit points." The Qingjian Daoist also put away his wine gourd, his expression becoming a bit more serious, "Aren’t you planning to try clearing the secret realm?" Xiao Sheng shook his head, "I know my own limits. I can try other secret realms, but special secret realms are out of the question. I have to be careful with my life." He looked at Lin Moyu, "Brother Lin, you need to be careful." He knew Lin Moyu wanted to clear the secret realm, and he naturally wouldn’t stop him, but he could only remind Lin Moyu to be cautious. Lin Moyu smiled, "I also cherish my life." "Haha, that’s good. After the secret realm ends, let’s have a good drink!" Xiao Sheng laughed heartily, and amidst his laughter, the Maple Forest Secret Realm officially opened. Countless streams of light rushed towards the Maple Forest Secret Realm at the first moment. The secret realm was only open for 30 days, so even those farming merit points had to make the most of every minute and second. Xiao Sheng waved his hand, "I’m off too. Merit points wait for no one." The Qingjian Daoist chuckled, "Let’s see who can farm more merit points. The loser buys the best wine!" "No problem!" The two of them rushed towards the secret realm amidst wild laughter. Lin Moyu looked at Luo Feiyu beside him, "Brother Luo, shall we go too?" Luo Feiyu nodded, "Brother Lin, be careful!" Lin Moyu smiled, "You too, Brother Luo." With that, he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the secret realm. His speed was astonishing, surpassing all the minor God Sovereigns, only slightly slower than the God Sovereigns. Streams of light rushed into the horn-shaped entrance of the secret realm, stepping onto the golden pathways and disappearing. Lin Moyu randomly chose an entrance. After all, the final destination was randomly matched, so it didn’t matter which entrance he chose. Even if people entered through the same entrance at the same time, they wouldn’t necessarily end up in the same part of the secret realm. The special secret realm was copied into countless real worlds, each capable of accommodating 100 people simultaneously. In Lin Moyu’s view, the difference between ordinary secret realms and special secret realms was like the difference between single-player and multiplayer instances. Except for the inability to form teams, they were essentially the same. Stepping onto the golden pathway, his vision was enveloped in gold. His sight became blurry for a moment, and after two seconds, it cleared up again. A completely different atmosphere from the great world greeted him, and compared to ordinary secret realms, the aura of this secret realm was even stronger. The laws had changed, and it seemed to have its own independent laws. "Just as I thought, the ancient talisman has evolved into an independent world." "This world exists between reality and illusion. It can be treated as a real world or as an illusion." "Because its essence still depends on the great world." "Both independent and dependent, truly fascinating." Lin Moyu was in no hurry to act; he didn’t need to farm merit points. He carefully sensed the aura of the secret realm, feeling the differences between the secret realm and the great world. Perhaps because it had been opened many times, the aura of the great world had already seeped into it. A large number of items belonging to the secret realm had been taken out, and those blood-red maple leaves contained fragments of the ancient talisman. Even though the first stage had not been fully cleared, through analysis, the power of the Human Emperor Network could already penetrate it, and escape talismans could be used inside. This greatly increased the safety of cultivators in the secret realm. At least in the first stage, this was the case. However, according to various sources, the Human Emperor Network had not fully penetrated this stage. In some special situations, escape talismans were ineffective. Every time the Maple Forest Secret Realm opened, people still died inside. Many people died while farming merit points. In this place, if you want to stay alive, you must not be greedy. After a moment, Lin Moyu began to survey this world. He was currently standing in the air, looking down at a vast grassland. In the distance, there were faintly visible mountains. The secret realm was vast, and with Lin Moyu’s vision, he could see everything within ten thousand miles as if it were right in front of him. But when he looked into the distance, he could only vaguely see mountains. There were no maple forests in sight. "Not very lucky!" Lin Moyu smiled slightly. For those who needed to farm merit points, this starting point was terrible. Those farming merit points hoped to see a maple forest as soon as they entered, so they could find blood-red maple leaves. Even if they were less lucky, they could still find traces of the maple forest and locate it in a short time. But for him, there was only grassland below, and distant mountains with no sign of a maple forest. Just because there were mountains didn’t mean there would be a maple forest. The maple forests in the secret realm were random, and no one knew where they would appear. "It seems I’m not suited for farming merit points!" Lin Moyu smiled, picked a direction at random, and flew off. The faintly visible mountains quickly became clear in his vision, growing larger and larger. The distance was farther than Lin Moyu had imagined. Even at his speed, it took him a full ten seconds to cover 1.5 million kilometers. The mountain looked desolate, with piles of rocks and nothing else. Well, not exactly nothing. Lin Moyu saw a person. A cultivator, one of the hundred in the same secret realm as him. Meng Li, a seventh-stage God King, not considered strong among all the cultivators. Meng Li was lying on a large rock, unconscious. He held an escape talisman in his hand but had lost consciousness before he could use it. "Is he poisoned?" Lin Moyu landed beside him and found that Meng Li was not poisoned. But he was indeed unconscious, no doubt about that. "His life force is weakening..." Lin Moyu clearly felt that Meng Li’s aura was rapidly weakening, his life force draining away. He wasn’t poisoned, but his life force was continuously draining, which was very strange. Lin Moyu flicked his finger, and a white light, the power of life from the Undying Law, fell on Meng Li. It had no effect; his life force continued to drain at a constant rate. Lin Moyu recalled his previous speculation and split a trace of his soul consciousness, directly entering Meng Li’s soul world. There was no resistance; Lin Moyu easily entered Meng Li’s soul world. He was truly unconscious, with even his soul world unguarded, completely open. It was Lin Moyu’s first time entering someone else’s soul world, and he was a bit curious. "This world is so desolate." Compared to his own, Meng Li’s soul world was too desolate. There were only three stellar spells and several planetary spells. In Lin Moyu’s eyes, such a soul world was no different from garbage. Then he saw Meng Li’s soul, also lying on the ground, unconscious. "So that’s how it is..."
