I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1258: 770: Demonic Might Soaring, Unity Realm Stage Confrontation!

“The secret realm is closing soon?”
“Impossible! Hasn’t the Returning Ruins Secret Realm always stayed open for a full century? How much time has passed since it began!”
“Just what has happened to cause this?”
Beyond the Immortal Palace, the mighty experts from different factions felt a surge of unrest when the unexpected message flashed into their thoughts.
Nothing like this had ever happened in the past.
From the records passed down by ancestors, the prior two activations of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm had each endured a hundred years prior to shutting down.
Yet now, after barely more than two decades of being accessible, it was on the verge of sealing.
This abrupt shift quickly ignited countless theories among the gathered powerhouses.
“We only just emerged, and now the secret realm is closing?”
In the plaza, Yu Jian and Qing Xii showed traces of doubt and astonishment.
They had been ousted from the trial pathway and sent out from the eighth level of Sword Dao mere moments ago, only to learn of the secret realm’s approaching end.
This timing couldn’t help but stir deeper suspicions in their minds.
“A Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit actually perished inside this secret realm, and even Tu Shan met his end?”
Elsewhere, a middle-aged figure clad in a robe featuring a cauldron emblem voiced his shock after listening to his disciples’ accounts.
While he pushed through the Dan Dao evaluation corridor, he never imagined such shocking developments unfolding beyond it.
Not just the fall of a Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, but the formidable Tu Shan and every follower from the Black and White Temple had been utterly wiped out.
“Good thing I stayed cautious, relying on a Secret Treasure to mask my presence and steer clear of trouble. Who could’ve guessed that among those who entered the secret realm this round, such fierce killers lurked.”
The Dan Dao-robed middle-aged man let out a breath of gratitude.
For this venture into the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, he had adopted a disguised persona, seeking a path to greater strength.
To that end, he frequently altered his aura via a Secret Treasure, projecting merely the power of the Seventh Tribulation of Primordial Spirit to remain unnoticed.
Reflecting on it, that choice proved incredibly smart.
Had he behaved like the head of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan, using his superior level to dominate and plunder from others, his outcome might mirror theirs.
“Such a shame—the trials in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm prove far too challenging. Despite my prowess in Dan Dao, I managed to reach only the eighth stage before halting.”
The middle-aged man in the Dan Dao robe thought with a quiet regret.
Under his concealed identity this time, his aim had been to access the Immortal Palace, though he fell short in the end.
Still, his efforts weren’t in vain.
Navigating the trial corridors brought him substantial insights.
Back home, a bit of reflection could well propel him toward Nine Tribulations Perfection.
“I can’t help but wonder why the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is shutting early; might it connect to the enigmatic figure who took down the Great Yuan Immortal Clan’s leader and Tu Shan?”
Regardless of the swirling guesses in the minds of these powerhouses, the Returning Ruins Secret Realm’s looming closure stood as undeniable reality.
None risked delay and hastened toward the way out.
Failing to escape now meant waiting a hundred thousand years for the next chance.
“No trace of that individual?”
Near the departure point, Yu Jian scanned the area yet failed to locate Lu Qing.
The rest of the elite figures did likewise, straining to pick out Lu Qing amid the throng.
Still, despite their efforts, that person’s presence eluded them all.
“Perhaps…”
With the secret realm truly on the brink of sealing and Lu Qing nowhere in sight…
A realization dawned on many powerhouses that their earlier hunches were likely correct.
This early shutdown of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm surely tied to that mighty Sword Cultivator.
More than that, he probably had already stepped into the Immortal Palace and claimed an unprecedented fortune!
The notion filled these strong ones with burning envy.
After all, the Immortal Palace stemmed from the Transformation Immortal, its secrets untouched for hundreds of thousands of years by any intruder.
But now, someone occupied it, poised to harvest untold boons and riches.
The mere idea drove them to the edge of frenzy with resentment.
Yet no matter their bitterness, action lay beyond their grasp.
The secret realm neared its end, and lingering meant eternal entrapment.
Given their cultivation levels, surviving a hundred thousand years without supplies proved impossible.
Thus, though loath to go, they prioritized departure from the secret realm.
“Let’s move—exit swiftly. Once outside, rally the full might of our sect to uncover that Sword Cultivator’s background!”
“Exactly, summon the Ancestors to guard the secret realm’s perimeter. We refuse to think that Sword Cultivator stays hidden forever!”
“Opportunities or not, he won’t dwell in the Immortal Palace eternally. The day he emerges will be our moment to strike!”
As the secret realm gradually sealed, the powerhouses wasted no time, activating their artifacts and fleeing the domain, shielded by their tokens as they burst forth.
“Lord Yu Jian!”
While the Sky-breaking Sword Sect’s followers climbed onto the vessel, two shapes rushed forward abruptly, gazing at Yu Jian with desperate pleas.
These were the two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators Yu Jian had rescued at the start, astonishingly still alive.
All their fellow Primordial Spirit Realm peers had fallen to Tu Shan’s blade, their tokens seized as well.
Lacking token safeguards, crossing the outer Star River Formation would spell certain doom.
“Board the ship.”
Before the urgent appeals of those two Primordial Spirit Realm experts, Yu Jian offered no denial, giving a faint nod.
“Many thanks!”
Joy lit the faces of the two Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators as they boarded the Sky-breaking Sword Sect’s treasure ship with care.
