But if their spiritual power reaches a certain level, they will discover that many things are inseparable from their spiritual power.
The reason Ye Ningze could navigate this place with ease, even feeling a sense of destiny, was due to his exceptionally powerful spiritual power.
Ye Ningze and Su Xue entered the palace, only to find it vast and utterly empty.
This left both of them quite perplexed. After a moment, Ye Ningze conducted a search and then said to Su Xue beside him:
"I feel this place is rather peculiar. Ever since we entered, I've sensed that this location has been subtly influencing our minds."
Su Xue did not share this sensation because her spiritual power was not as potent. The stronger one's spiritual power, the more pronounced this feeling became.
Just like Ye Ningze at this very moment. Ye Ningze seemed no longer in this palace, but rather thousands of miles away.
He saw hordes of demonic beasts charging towards human strongholds. Ye Ningze had never witnessed such a massive number of demonic beasts before.
They were dense, like ants, a sight that inspired dread.
Their target was this very palace, the same altar they had encountered earlier. Not only did Ye Ningze see demonic beasts like a tide here,
But he also saw an unparalleled expert within the palace. Ultimately, this supreme expert made a decision.
He emanated a strange spiritual fluctuation that, as if tangible, spread in all directions, enveloping everything.
Finally, this peculiar spiritual fluctuation caused a strange transformation in the entire enveloped region.
This resulted in the enveloped areas forming a special state, isolated from the outside world. This was the fundamental origin of the secret realm.
This explained the origin of the secret realm but did not explain why the expert acted this way, nor did it explain the expert's level of cultivation.
Why could he so easily transform this territory into a place akin to the Peach Blossom Spring?
Such power was terrifying, almost incomprehensible.
Ye Ningze broke free from the scene before him and then said to Su Xue beside him:
"The place we are in may no longer exist. Everything we see is merely the legacy left behind by a powerful individual's spiritual power. I prefer to call it a spiritual palace."
Su Xue found this unbelievable after hearing it, as everything before her felt so real, even more so than the actual palace.
If this were truly the case, it implied the immense power of the expert's spiritual energy, capable of making reality illusory and illusion reality. Few could achieve such a feat with such potent spiritual power.
Their arrival at this place meant they might have the chance to inherit this formidable spiritual power.
The previous tests precisely confirmed that Ye Ningze and his companion's speculation was correct; the other party intended to test if their spiritual power was sufficiently strong.
If it was insufficient, they would be eliminated. But if their spiritual power was adequate, they would receive the inheritance of this spiritual power.
In this way, Ye Ningze would gain the right to inherit this spiritual power.
Once their spiritual power reached a sufficient level, they would be able to leave this secret realm and return to reality. They would no longer have to stay in this dreadful place, nor worry about encountering a master anywhere they turned.
However, they had not anticipated encountering such a spiritual attack in this place, and one so potent.
"It seems our luck is quite good this time. We can finally leave safely."
Ye Ningze said with a hint of excitement. Although they were still trapped, they would be able to leave if they persevered for just a little longer, and they could also obtain the inheritance of this spiritual power.
He believed that with such a spiritual power inheritance, Ye Ningze's strength would undoubtedly skyrocket.
Su Xue also smiled slightly.
"Since that's the case, let's act quickly. But Ye Ningze, you must remember, you must keep this matter absolutely confidential. Do not let anyone know, understand?"
Su Xue reminded him.
"I understand."
Ye Ningze nodded and said.
Su Xue and Ye Ningze continued to walk forward.
Ye Ningze saw many demonic beast corpses along the way.
These demonic beasts were killed by the earlier ones. It seemed the environment here made them hesitant to trespass carelessly.
After these demonic beasts died, their bodies would slowly disappear, then reform and be absorbed by a powerful force into a specific location.
Once the energy in this location was fully absorbed, it would return to its original state.
It was under these circumstances that these demonic beasts became incredibly formidable.
Ye Ningze looked at the demonic beasts before him, feeling a pang of fear.
He could say he had never fought these demonic beasts, but he detested them profoundly because he had personally witnessed their agonizing cries.
Ye Ningze knew very well that he was no match for these demonic beasts, yet a sense of unwillingness gnawed at him.
He wished to defeat these demonic beasts, to vanquish them all, and then obtain this spiritual power.
Ye Ningze was acutely aware of the cruel rules of this secret realm, yet he did not flinch, believing he could surely overcome these demonic beasts.
Su Xue, observing Ye Ningze's demeanor, felt a touch of exasperation. The way Ye Ningze looked at these demonic beasts was filled with defiance and an unyielding spirit.
Although these demonic beasts appeared corporeal, everyone knew they were merely pure spiritual energy.
Therefore, to deal with these demonic beasts, one could only possess powerful spiritual energy to utterly annihilate them. Otherwise, defeating these demonic beasts would be nearly impossible.
"I never expected to encounter such peculiar demonic beasts within this palace." Ye Ningze, while using his powerful spiritual energy to dispatch these beasts, continuously searched for an exit.
After all, this was not a structure from the real world, making the search for an exit quite a challenging task.
