The Secret Realm of the Dry Sea

Chapter 35 The Secret Realm of the Dry Sea

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The spaceship of the First Bank of the Universe has arrived at Qiongling Star, and Gu Ce, along with the others, boarded the spaceship.

Those who participate in the Dry Sea Secret Realm training are mostly young people, and most of them are scions of large families. After all, to buy a ticket, you need at least a two-star customer privilege (100 billion cosmic coins in deposit).

"An E9-class spaceship! My father's entire fortune wouldn't be enough to buy this spaceship."

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Ce opened his eyes and looked over.

Sure enough, Xie Peng had somehow grabbed another cold-faced young man and was talking incessantly.

Once all 10,000 seats on the spaceship were filled, the spaceship officially departed from Qiongling Star.

The spacecraft was moving smoothly.

A burly, bald man with a dark complexion emerged from a hatch.

He exuded a chilling aura, his eyes sharp, and with just one glance, he silenced the noisy crowd in the hall.

"He's a ninth-level Domain Lord. His understanding of the Golden Origin Law is extremely profound. He's not far from gaining the Law's recognition. He should have a pretty high status within the Universe's First Bank," Rimuru whispered.

Gu Ce glanced at him and sensed a sharp aura emanating from him.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the bald domain lord nodded in satisfaction and then addressed the crowd.

"Now I'll briefly say a few words about the precautions for entering the Dry Sea Secret Realm."

"First of all, you are forbidden from killing each other. We have special equipment to monitor you within the secret realm, so you'd better not try anything clever."

"Of course, you can call for help immediately if you encounter life-threatening danger. You have one free chance to call for help. After that, you will need to pay in cosmic coins to call for help again. Don't worry, our rescue measures are definitely worth the price."

"You can bring in slaves and plant life forms, but they cannot exceed the ninth level of the Hengxing star. If you break through in the secret realm, someone will bring you out."

"Technological weapons will become unusable once inside the Dry Sea Secret Realm due to the realm's influence. Of course, detectors and similar devices, including auxiliary optical computers, will still be usable."

"Starting from Qiongling Star, you will arrive at the Dry Sea Secret Realm in half a month. You can rest in your respective rooms on the spaceship, or communicate in the lobby. However, one thing is certain: fighting on the spaceship is strictly prohibited. Violators will be executed on the spot!"

"Finally, the Universe First Bank is willing to pay to buy everything you have gained in the secret realm. The specific price has already been sent to your personal computers. Of course, you can also choose to take it with you. We are not forcing you to."

Having said that, the bald-headed domain lord stepped down.

As the people around him gradually left, Gu Ce mingled with them, preparing to return to his room.

"Brother Gu Ce!"

Gu Ce had a bad feeling.

Xie Peng walked over enthusiastically and was about to put his arm around Gu Ce's shoulder when Gu Ce subtly dodged him.

Ok?

Xie Peng paused for a moment, but didn't mind, and continued to speak with a smile.

"Brother Gu Ce, have you finished your business? Let me introduce you. This is the second prince of the Cui Mu Empire, Diaman," Xie Peng said warmly.

"Hello," the cold-faced man next to Xie Peng said somewhat reluctantly.

"Hello." Gu Ce nodded.

The Cui Mu Empire is a mid-level civilization in the universe, on par with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, but smaller, encompassing over six thousand star systems. (The Black Dragon Mountain Empire comprises over eight thousand star systems in total.)

"What do you mean? Diaman, Gu Ce, how about the three of us team up for training?" Xie Peng asked excitedly.

"No, thank you." Gu Ce refused immediately. "My family wants me to train alone to test my personal abilities."

"I see..." Xie Peng said with some regret, then turned to look at Diaman.

"Me too, Father Emperor told me to act alone." Diaman's eyes lit up when he heard Gu Ce's explanation, and he quickly said.

Xie Peng scratched his head, seemingly surprised that both of his "good brothers" had refused his request, but he could only helplessly accept this reality.

"Alright then, I'll go ask the others."

Watching Xie Peng leave, Gu Ce and Diaman both breathed a sigh of relief.

"You already have a domain, right? Why are you here?" Diaman suddenly asked.

"Aren't you the same?" Gu Ce chuckled.

They both possess a water domain, but Gu Ce's is clearly stronger.

Gu Ce, who has already crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of water, can be said to have the deepest understanding of the law of water among the 10,000 people who entered the secret realm.

Diaman's expression was solemn. He could only see that Gu Ce had mastered the Water Domain, but he couldn't see through Gu Ce's strength.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Diaman Lori Mohand." Diaman extended his hand.

"Gu Ce." Gu Ce also extended his hand.

After a friendly handshake, the two returned to their respective rooms.

……

Soon, fifteen days later.

I still haven't mastered the third move of the Ice Wilderness Sword Technique, but I have made some progress in the fundamental laws of space.

Now, Gu Ce has fully mastered the first level of "Myriad Incarnations" and can create three incarnations.

I reckon that the trip to the Dry Sea Secret Realm should allow Gu Ce to fully master the second, or even the third, level of "Myriad Incarnations"!

Even if Gu Ce doesn't make any further progress, his current understanding of the fundamental laws of water and space already gives him the strength to enter the top 100 and even challenge the top 50, not to mention his exaggerated rate of progress.

A slight smile appeared on Gu Ce's lips. There were still nearly eight years until the Genius Battle began.

Perhaps I can challenge myself to become a genius of the Koti level!

"Master, Luo Feng is looking for you." Rimuru's appearance interrupted Gu Ce's thoughts.

"Connect," Gu Ce ordered.

"Gu Ce!" Luo Feng exclaimed excitedly as soon as the call connected.

Looking at the screen, Luo Feng can be seen on the sea surface, and Gu Ce can roughly guess what he is going to say.

as predicted.

"Gu Ce, I've already killed the Thunder Dragon Emperor. I wonder about the grand gift he received..." Luo Feng asked tentatively.

"When you killed the Thunder Dragon Emperor, did you see an egg on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?" Gu Ce asked.

"Eggs?" Luo Feng was taken aback. "No."

"What is that?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"The egg of the Golden Horned Beast." Gu Ce didn't hide it, knowing that Luo Feng would find out sooner or later anyway.

"What is the Golden Horned Beast?" Luo Feng asked again.

This time, Gu Ce did not explain to him.

"Go ask Babata, it knows what that is. As for the gift I gave you, it's probably already at your house. You can go back and check it." Gu Ce said, then hung up the phone.

The gift given to Luo Feng was none other than the Black Dragon Mountain X81 model spaceship from before.

In a sense, it can be considered a return to its rightful owner.

After hearing that there were eggs of the Golden Horned Beast on Earth, Babata understood what the real gift Gu Ce was talking about was.

"Given Gu Ce's status, it's definitely not just a broken spaceship!" Babata said.

After being trained by Rimuru, Babata now has an inexplicable trust in Gu Ce.

"Luo Feng, you should thank Gu Ce for telling you this news! If you can possess the Golden Horned Beast, you'll definitely become a Realm Lord in the future, and might even have a chance to become immortal!"

Luo Feng listened, stunned and somewhat hesitant.

"Possession? Does that mean I have to abandon my human body? Xu Xin and I don't have any children yet."

Babata loudly berated Luo Feng for his lack of manners.

"Do you know about the Golden Horned Beast's talent? Its value is... never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Here's what I'll do: I'll find a way to get Xu Xin pregnant!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng blushed immediately.

Xu Xin only recently agreed to be his girlfriend, isn't it moving too fast?

……

On the other side...

Gu Ce has already boarded the spaceship and entered the interior of the Dry Sea Secret Realm.
