"what?"

A look of surprise flashed across Yi Shuihan's face, but he didn't realize what Shi Fei had asked.

"I meant this hairpin. It's beautiful and should suit me perfectly, don't you think?"

This time, Yi Shuihan finally understood what was being asked; it turned out the question concerned the hairpin.

"Actually, I think so too. If you like it, just choose it."

Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence wouldn't deliberately contradict others at this time, and Yi Shuihan is naturally of normal intelligence.

"You think so too! I knew my judgment wasn't bad after all."

Although the voice was somewhat cold, one could still detect a hint of excitement within it.

However, Shi Fei's next words surprised Yi Shuihan.

“But I’ve already chosen a hairpin, and I like both of them. So what should I do? I only have the right to choose one treasure, unlike you who is first and can choose three.”

Although she didn't explicitly ask Yi Shuihan for help, Shi Fei's expectant expression made it almost as if she were.

"This Shifei is still the same Shifei I know! What happened to her aloofness? She looks so silly."

Are we that close? Or what are you to me? We don't seem to know each other very well!

After a few seconds of hesitation, Yi Shuihan made a decision: he would never bow down to the evil forces. They wanted benefits without even offering any; no way.

"Hairpins are pretty but not really useful. I think you should choose something else. I have something to do, so I won't bother you any longer. You can continue choosing!"

Before Shifei could react, he walked past her and disappeared from her sight a few seconds later.

"Didn't Master say that men like my type? Why doesn't he feel anything at all? Besides, I was the one who gave him the opportunity. Shouldn't he be happy to give me a chance to choose a treasure?"

Shifei looked puzzled, as if she had encountered a problem she couldn't understand.

On the other hand, seeing that Shi Fei hadn't followed, Yi Shuihan temporarily chose to forget about the matter and continued searching for a suitable treasure.

In order to get the greatest benefit, Yi Shuihan really went all out, and he managed to explore the entire treasure vault area. He spent more than a month exploring it by himself, making his father and the others wait for him for more than half a month.

It was fortunate that Yi Shuihan was the winner of this competition. Although the Emperor and the others were unhappy, they didn't say much on the surface. If it had been someone with a lower ranking who made them wait, things would probably have been very different.

Are you sure you want to choose these three?

The True-Eyed Emperor looked at the treasures that Yi Shuihan had taken out and asked, "What do you mean by this?" He was more open-minded about Yi Shuihan than his father and the others. On the contrary, he admired Yi Shuihan's behavior. He believed that benefits should be maximized, and it would be wrong to miss out on benefits because of caring too much about other people's opinions.

"That's right, these are the three things."

Yi Shuihan answered decisively. Although he had encountered many other treasures he wanted, he knew that only the three items in front of him were the most suitable for him.

Yi Shuihan wholeheartedly agrees with the saying that what is most suitable is the best.

After selecting the treasures, the group left the treasure vault and entered a thick fog. Following the True Eye Emperor, they traveled for nine days and nine nights before finally arriving at the main gate.

Do not doubt it, it is indeed nine days and nine nights. The way back is different from the way there, because the path inside is not fixed. It is impossible to remember the path by memory. There must be a special mechanism. The safe points are changing every moment, which is why the return time has also changed significantly.

Apart from the treasure vault, everyone went their separate ways. Yi Shuihan went straight back to his King's Peak and then plunged into his personal world, where he needed to quickly consume the treasures he had obtained from the treasure vault.

"Let's aim to achieve true near-Emperor level within 10 years! Let's begin!"

He picked up a white fruit about the size of an apple, took a bite, and the tender flesh made Yi Shuihan, a seasoned gourmet, involuntarily show a look of intoxication. It was just too delicious.

As the fruit pulp entered his body, it transformed into waves of magical power. Yi Shuihan felt his boundary power rapidly increasing, gaining an entire boundary power in just a few seconds.

"We must not waste; wasting is shameful."

With the Chaos Absorption Technique operating at full power, the speed at which the power of the realm increased increased by several times, and Yi Shuihan officially entered a state of cultivation.

Chapter 1312, Finally Reaching the Peak of Quasi-Emperor

The fruit that Yi Shuihan consumed was the only spiritual fruit with incorrect information that he found in the treasure vault.

When Yi Shuihan noticed the fruit, the details that appeared in the treasure vault were that it was an ordinary Cangmang Fruit, but it was actually a mutated Cangmang Fruit with twice the effect of an ordinary Cangmang Fruit. However, if one's strength did not reach the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level, taking it would be tantamount to courting death.

Having reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor level, it means that the power of the realm can no longer be increased at the True Saint stage. Taking this mutated Cangmang Fruit is of no use, so this mutated Cangmang Fruit has become something that is tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

However, there are always unexpected events, such as Yi Shuihan, or the Lord of the World.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan originally didn't intend to take the Cangmang Fruit; he just picked it up casually to take a look. But the system was so helpful that it allowed him to discover this special Cangmang Fruit.

With this mutated Vast Fruit, Yi Shuihan's Realm Power will increase by at least 20, and at most 60. With his strong foundation and the Chaos Absorption Technique, if nothing unexpected happens, it's not surprising that Yi Shuihan increases his Realm Power by 40, and it's quite normal for him to increase it by more than 50.

Absorbing the Cangmang Fruit usually takes a long time, since the power of the realm contained in the Cangmang Fruit is too abundant, requiring at least a hundred years.

Yi Shuihan absorbed the mutated Cangmang Fruit, yet it only took him 3 years. It can only be said that Yi Shuihan is no ordinary person!

"Let me see how much it has increased."

Upon regaining consciousness, Yi Shuihan's first action was to check her own condition.

"This is a little over 72 Boundary Force, which is an increase of 59 Boundary Force. It's almost the complete absorption of 60 Boundary Force."

A power level of 72 is considered to be in the late stage of True Saint. Before consuming the mutated Cangmang Fruit, Yi Shuihan only had a power level of 13, which was considered to be in the early stage of True Saint. The leap of 59 power levels is simply heaven-defying, and even Yi Shuihan finds it somewhat unbelievable.

Although he was very confident in himself, Yi Shuihan's previous expectation was only to increase his Realm Power by fifty, and he never expected to increase it by 59 in one go.

If Yi Shuihan were to truly cultivate the 59th Realm Power, it would take him hundreds of thousands of years. Now, he has achieved it in just three years, and the surprise he has received is unimaginable.

"We are only 27 realms away from achieving our goal, and we have 7 years left. It seems that this seclusion is destined to be a complete success."

The good start brought by the mutated Cangmang Fruit greatly boosted Yi Shuihan's confidence. Before going into seclusion, he felt that the probability of reaching the peak of the Quasi-Emperor was only about 70%, but now it was basically close to 100%.

I selected three items from the treasure vault. One of them, the mutated Vast Fruit, had already been used, leaving me with two more.

The remaining two items are still related to increasing boundary power. One of them is a spiritual liquid with the same properties as the Cangmang Fruit, called Hunyuan Liquid. This is even better than the ordinary Cangmang Fruit, increasing boundary power by 20 to 40.

Clearly, as long as Yi Shuihan's luck isn't too bad, the Hunyuan Liquid is enough to allow Yi Shuihan's power of the realm to reach the pinnacle of True Saint.

Besides the Hunyuan Liquid, the remaining method is a special secret technique chosen by Yi Shuihan. What makes it special? It's a secret technique with a limited number of uses.

The secret technique is called "Five Revolutions," a very ordinary name that has little connection to the technique itself. Yi Shuihan's first thought after reading about the technique was that the name was chosen randomly.

Having mastered this secret technique, one can unleash it a total of 6 times, each time temporarily increasing one's Realm Power by 30, lasting for 1,000 years.

Yi Shuihan's idea was that if the previous two methods failed to make him reach the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, he would use this secret technique to temporarily reach the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and then he could still attempt to become the Chaos Emperor.

In fact, this idea is correct, and even the secret technique mentions its usage. However, the only drawback is that cultivating this secret technique is extremely difficult. How difficult? This secret technique is meant for a Chaos Emperor to comprehend. For a True Saint to comprehend it is like asking a primary school student to take the college entrance examination.

What Yi Shuihan didn't know was that this secret technique was actually created by a Chaos Emperor. His original purpose was not simply to increase the power of the Aji Realm. However, due to various reasons, the creation failed and it became the "Five Revolutions" we know today. It was even placed in the treasury of the Myriad Realms United High School. The Chaos Emperor didn't even sign his name.

For Yi Shuihan, whose true strength had already reached the level of a Chaos Emperor, cultivating this secret technique was quite simple, which was why he chose it.

This secret method might seem more practical to others than the Cangmang Fruit, but it's different for Yi Shuihan because of the system!

Yi Shuihan has learned from the system that this secret technique still has room for improvement. Given time, the system can develop this secret technique into a trump card that even a Chaos Emperor can use.

It seems that Yi Shuihan is quite lucky. He should be able to reach the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm without using any secret techniques. Before receiving system upgrades, it's best not to use any secret techniques.

After absorbing the mutated Cangmang Fruit, Yi Shuihan only rested for about ten minutes before continuing to absorb the Hunyuan Liquid, beginning the second round of his short seclusion.

The Hunyuan Liquid is much milder than the mutated Cangmang Fruit. If Yi Shuihan exerted all his strength when absorbing the Cangmang Fruit, fearing that the medicinal power would dissipate if he absorbed it too slowly, he is now absorbing the Hunyuan Liquid slowly and effortlessly.

The power of the boundary is increasing at an extremely rapid pace: 73, 74, 75...

Time passed little by little, day after day, month after month, year after year, two years...

Nine years after Yi Shuihan entered seclusion, he completed the absorption of the Hunyuan Liquid, and his World Power successfully reached 105 World Power, an increase of 33 World Power.

Those who break through the ninety-nine realms and reach the power of one hundred realms or more are qualified to challenge the Chaos Emperor. However, most people cannot continue to improve after reaching the power of one hundred realms.

Once you reach the level of 100 Realm Power, increasing it by even one more Realm Power is no less difficult than increasing it by ten Realm Power before reaching 100 Realm Power.

On the other hand, even if one increases their power by over a hundred realms, breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm will not bring any special benefits, so no one will continue to waste time on it after reaching a hundred realms.

There was once a quasi-emperor who thought himself clever and continued to waste time on the power of a hundred realms after reaching the power of a hundred realms. In the end, he reached the power of 130 realms and broke through to the Chaos Emperor. He found that the time he spent was not as much as the time he spent cultivating and improving his strength as a Chaos Emperor.

Chapter 1313, The Secret Realm of Departure

"We still have a year left. Let's try this secret method and see if we can finish it within a year."

It is obvious that Yi Shuihan cannot miss the secret realm, so he must come out of seclusion after a year. Therefore, if he cannot successfully cultivate the secret technique within a year, he will have to stop.

The secret technique was stored in a teardrop-shaped pendant. When Yi Shuihan touched it with his mind, the pendant began to glow, and mysterious characters emerged from the pendant and flew into Yi Shuihan's body. In Yi Shuihan's mind, a secret technique gradually took shape.

The pendant eventually disappeared completely into Yi Shuihan's hand. It was obviously a disposable item, and no one knew exactly how it was made. In any case, Yi Shuihan felt that if he were to spread the secret method, something he did not want to see would happen.

Yi Shuihan originally did not intend to pass on the secret technique, and his ultimate goal was to use the system to fully upgrade the secret technique. Once the secret technique existed as a skill, Yi Shuihan could pass it on to whomever he wanted.

According to the secret method, Yi Shuihan entered a state of cultivation, spinning his boundary energy in a special way. Then, at a certain moment, it suddenly stopped, and after stopping, it began to spin at an even faster speed, then stopped again, and then continued to spin...

The cultivation method seemed completely illogical at first glance, but Yi Shuihan gradually found a rhythm in it. At the intersection of stopping and rotating, the power of the boundary showed a tendency to increase.

Three months later, Yi Shuihan suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"I didn't expect to succeed in cultivation so easily. Now it's up to the system."

Yi Shuihan opened his attribute panel and saw his fifth-tier name in the Golden Skills section. There was a parenthesis after the name, which read "Upgrading in progress".

"Holy Spirit, how long will it take to successfully upgrade?"

"At the current rate, it will take ten years. If you can break through to the Chaos Emperor level, it will be a matter of a moment. So it's not that the system has become weaker, but that it has been dragged down by you."

"I never said the system had become weaker!"

The system did not reply, and Yi Shuihan did not care. He was already very satisfied that a Chaos Emperor-level skill could be perfected in ten years. After all, not to mention creation, the time to cultivate a useful Chaos Emperor-level skill would be calculated in tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of millions of years.

With more than half a year left until the ten-year deadline, Yi Shuihan did not emerge from seclusion despite having achieved his goal. He spent the remaining time consolidating his cultivation and researching the precautions to take when breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm.

The ten-year period was approaching in the blink of an eye, and the school's notification prompted Yi Shuihan to break through his seclusion.

The top ten from the competition reunited. Ten years is not a long time, so apart from Yi Shuihan, there were no major changes. At most, their auras were slightly more robust, but there was basically no real progress. This was because they had all reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and if they wanted to make further progress, they would have to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm.

"It seems that the suspicion of being a potential quasi-Emperor Peak can be basically removed. Even if it was a suspicion before, it must be a potential quasi-Emperor Peak now, otherwise they wouldn't be so excited."

Excitement is certain, because a tremendous opportunity awaits them. If they seize this opportunity and successfully break through, it means graduating from school and becoming a Chaos Emperor revered throughout the myriad realms. At that time, they will basically have whatever they want, becoming a hegemon of the myriad realms, transcending the level of the world, and able to roam freely throughout the myriad realms, going wherever they want.

Yi Shuihan was the last to arrive, which made him a little embarrassed. He had come immediately after receiving the notice, but he didn't expect everyone to arrive so quickly.

Everyone showed a certain respect to Yi Shuihan, the champion of the competition. They all nodded in greeting when they saw him arrive, even Yi Shuihan, the One-Sword Madman, who was almost killed by Yi Shuihan, was no exception.

"It seems everyone has arrived."

The sudden sound startled Yi Shuihan. Looking in the direction of the sound, he discovered that it was the True Eye Emperor who had appeared out of nowhere.

The True Eye Emperor ignored Yi Shuihan and the others, and with a wave of his hand, produced a palace-shaped spiritual treasure. The aura it emitted indicated that it belonged to a top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

It is quite common for a Chaos Emperor to possess a top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, even though a palace-type top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure is far more valuable than an ordinary top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

The secret realm was obviously not in the school. The True Eye Emperor brought out the palace to let Yi Shuihan and the others go in, and then go to the location of the secret realm together.

At the True Eye Emperor's signal, the top ten contestants entered the palace, which then took off and entered the chaotic void, moving at an astonishing speed.

"It will take a thousand years to reach the secret realm. You can arrange your time freely during this period, but it is best not to go into seclusion. If you delay, the secret realm will not open a second time."

The True Eye Emperor disappeared after saying this, leaving Yi Shuihan and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"How about we exchange our insights on spiritual practice?"

Sword Emperor Jian Wushuang, who ranked fifth in the competition, made the suggestion.

"Insights into spiritual practice? I don't think that's necessary! Only the weak need to learn from the experiences of others."

Xu Kuangtu, the One-Sword Maniac, spoke with great contempt.

"You don't have to participate if you don't want to."

The Sword Emperor was not one to be trifled with, and he retorted with a single sentence.

So you're admitting you're the weaker party?

Seeing that the two were about to clash completely, the Emperor spoke up.

"This is the True Eye Emperor's territory. If you're going to make a scene, you'd better consider his feelings. Don't blame me if you lose your secret realm qualification."

After saying this, the Emperor left in one direction and soon disappeared from sight.

After giving Yi Shuihan a deep look, Shi Fei also chose to leave.

What does it mean when she looks at me?

It was obvious that no one could answer this question for Yi Shuihan, and he didn't intend to ask Shi Fei either.

"Yi Shuihan, let's go over there and talk."

"Okay!"

Yi Shuihan had a good impression of Hemlari, so he immediately accepted the invitation.

Two more left, leaving only six on the scene. It was obvious that Yi Dao Kuangmo wouldn't stay either, as he immediately broke away from the group after Yi Shuihan and the others left.
