Chapter 215: Chapter 215: The 3 Keys Gather, a New Continent is Revealed

Su Ye looked at Jiaojiao.

The loli in the coronated robe, with her black hair and red eyes, understood his intentions and said with a beaming smile,

"Here you go, Master!"

She raised her hand, and a spiritual light as crimson as blood surged forth like a spring.

Countless living souls, their faces contorted in terror, rage, or bloodlust, swirled and surfaced within the bloody light.

Soon, as if a die had been cast,

a single soul materialized in Jiaojiao’s hand.

This soul had the light-brown skin and features of an islands native.

Though his face was stained with blood, one could still see the heroic air about his brows.

A faint spiritual light flickered on the surface of its Soul Body.

A Third-Order aura!

Navasen’s soul!

That was right.

The target Su Ye had instructed Jiaojiao to prioritize killing was none other than Navasen!

He would rather let Hongri and Qinghe escape than fail to kill Navasen!

Seeing this soul, Su Ye smiled.

"What about his Storage Ring?"

"It’s here, too." Jiaojiao nodded obediently and took out a bone necklace.

"According to the emergency rations, this is called a ’Bone Chain.’ It’s a type of storage Magical Artifact used by the islands natives."

"Compared to a Storage Ring, this type of storage Magical Artifact is rather unique."

"It’s usually made from the bones of the owner’s ancestors, supplemented with several restrictions to create a powerful bloodline curse."

"Outsiders who try to use it will be killed by the bloodline curse, increasing its security."

Jiaojiao tapped her lower lip with her index finger, tilted her head, and recited this information in a monotone.

It was clear she didn’t understand the principles behind it; she was just repeating what He Muyun had told her.

Su Ye nodded and took the Bone Chain.

The power of his Divine Sense surged, and a sea of Magical Power flooded into it.

The so-called ’bloodline curse’ made a tiny splash and then dissolved into nothing.

’As for a curse killing me? What a joke.’

’Even if the ancestors whose bones made up this necklace were all resurrected on the spot, I could make them lie right back down again!’

’A bloodline curse? Given three days, who could it possibly kill?’

He broke through the Bone Chain’s restrictions.

A smile appeared on Su Ye’s face.

Two divine stones emerged.

One was azure, like a clear sky.

The other was cerulean, like the vast ocean.

’The Key of Heaven.’

’The Key of the Sea.’

In Su Ye’s hand, a stone the color of ochre rock appeared.

’The Key of the Earth.’

All three keys were gathered.

As if drawn to one another, the three keys slowly levitated, emitting a dense spiritual light.

They began to slowly merge.

An object in the shape of a key slowly took form.

It looked like the process would take some time.

"Gather all three keys, and you can open the gate to the secret realm..."

Su Ye murmured.

Although he had no plans to go to the secret realm at the moment,

it was still necessary to prepare in advance and gather the keys.

But aside from the Key of Heaven and the Key of the Sea,

the rest of the loot wasn’t very impressive.

’Just some scattered odds and ends, worth maybe thirty or forty thousand Spirit Stones?’

’I’ll get rid of this stuff through the cultivator city’s channels...’

Su Ye yawned.

To him, this was just pocket change now.

...

Then, Su Ye turned his gaze to Navasen’s soul.

He sighed with some emotion.

Once upon a time, this man’s power had made him lose sleep and appetite!

He had even considered abandoning Donglong Island and fleeing to escape disaster.

But now, this being who had put him under such immense pressure was in such a miserable state!

His physical body was destroyed, and his very soul had become his captive!

Su Ye hadn’t even had to act personally.

Instead, he had entrusted the matter to his ship spirit...

"Heh..."

’Have I become this strong without even realizing it?’

Su Ye smiled to himself.

Then, he began to deal with Navasen’s soul.

BZZZT.

A faint wisp of blood-flame rose and approached Navasen’s soul.

"Aargh!"

"You Yaoguang mongrel, you’ll die a miserable death!"

"Aaaargh! Stop! Get this fire away from me!"

Navasen’s Soul Body trembled as he shrieked, wailed, and cursed incessantly, clearly in extreme agony.

Su Ye remained expressionless, slowly licking at the other’s Soul Body as if slow-cooking it over a low flame.

This wasn’t intentional retaliation.

Er... alright, maybe a little.

Su Ye was a petty man.

However, his main goal was to use the pain to lower his captive’s resistance.

This would lay the groundwork for his Soul Search!

Performing a Soul Search on someone of the same cultivation level was no easy task!

Besides, if the target’s will to resist was strong, the information gained from the Soul Search would be much more fragmented.

Therefore, some... preparation was absolutely necessary.

Soon, Navasen’s curses began to fade.

His eyes grew dull and vacant.

’The heat is just right...’

A slight, interested smile touched Su Ye’s lips.

He had high hopes for Navasen.

In Su Ye’s opinion, the man’s memories were extremely valuable!

After all, whether it was...

...the cultivation method called ’Bloodline True Form,’ so different from the immortal path;

...the blind Holy Maiden from the battle at the cultivator city, whose terrifying power was nothing short of world-shaking;

...or the bizarre and unfathomable ’Reverse World’ and ’Divine Tree’...

...none of these things could possibly be the product of the accumulated heritage of the islands natives! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Su Ye thought it over and over.

’The only possibility is that these things came from a ruin!’

And a ruin of this scale...

Strictly speaking, it had already surpassed the category of a mere ruin.

In the Cultivation Realm, there was a special term to describe such places.

—A Grotto Heaven!

"A Grotto Heaven..." Su Ye licked his lips, his interest piqued.

The benefits of a Grotto Heaven were beyond imagination!

Hadn’t the Cyan Profound Sect profited immensely by relying on a single secret realm?

Su Ye had inquired about that secret realm before.

It had a shackle on it—beings above the Second Order couldn’t enter!

But this Grotto Heaven that Navasen controlled could supposedly accommodate near-Fourth-Order beings?!

A Grotto Heaven of this level...

If he could get his hands on it and manage it for the long term,

Su Ye probably wouldn’t have to worry about resources until he reached the Nascent Soul stage!

"I hope your memories hold a surprise for me,"

Su Ye murmured.

And then, a silver light flared in his eyes.

The power of his Late-stage Crystal Divine Sense spread out.

Like long, slender silver needles, it pierced into Navasen’s soul!

HUMMM!

Navasen’s decades of memories,

a tidal wave of images, flooded past like a movie fast-forwarded dozens of times.

They flashed before Su Ye’s eyes in a fleeting glimpse!

Scene after scene, conversation after conversation.

Countless secrets unfolded before him!

Su Ye’s expression gradually changed, becoming a mixture of shock, doubt, and gravity.

A long while later, he finished the Soul Search.

An incredulous look appeared in his eyes.

"A new continent?"

"A new continent!"

Su Ye murmured to himself, his expression electrified.

He had never imagined that the blind Holy Maiden and her people weren’t from a Grotto Heaven.

The truth was even more astonishing...

They actually came from a new continent!

And this new land wasn’t far from the Yaoguang Islands!

Su Ye’s heart pounded. ’An undeveloped new continent—what astounding profits does that represent?!’

"The south!"

"The Mist Sea!"

Su Ye was eager to make a move.

After all, according to Navasen’s memories,

the Mist Sea was constantly dissipating!

And on the other side of the sea was the new continent that called itself the ’Divine Continent’!

"This is a whole new continent..."

Su Ye paced back and forth in the captain’s cabin, his expression ecstatic.

"I have to plan this carefully!"

"Let me think..."
