Chapter 166: Ch 166- Secret Realm (12) [Bonus]

Mo Yuan again picked up the container and began drinking the Earth Heart Nectar.

The moment the nectar entered his body, a warm energy spread through his meridians.

In the next moment, his consciousness returned to that familiar space inside his mind.

The huge Talent Tree stood quietly in front of him, its branches spreading in all directions. Among the many talents on the tree, Mo Yuan’s attention fell on the Devour Talent.

He immediately redirected the energy toward it.

Just like before, the Devour Talent began to absorb the energy from the Earth Heart Nectar.

A strange feeling slowly appeared inside Mo Yuan’s body and he could clearly feel his Devour Talent becoming stronger.

’Keep going.’

Mo Yuan continued drinking.

One litre.

Two litres.

Three litres.

After consuming around three litres of Earth Heart Nectar, Mo Yuan suddenly felt the same sensation he had experienced when he upgraded his Illusion Talent.

His expression immediately became serious.

’It’s starting.’

He stopped drinking and placed the container aside before focusing completely on the upgrade.

A few seconds later, an intense pain suddenly spread through his entire body.

Mo Yuan’s body trembled slightly.

The pain was not coming from his flesh. It felt as if something was tearing apart and rebuilding his very foundation.

His soul, meridians, bonesand even his consciousness seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation.

Mo Yuan clenched his teeth and endured it silently.

A few minutes later, the pain slowly disappeared.

Mo Yuan took a deep breath.

He immediately called up his Talent Panel.

[Devour Talent: Ultimate Grade]

Seeing the words in front of him, a smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.

’Ultimate Devour Talent.’

His eyes shone with excitement.

’Now my cultivation speed should become even stronger.’

The Devour Talent had always been extremely useful to him. It allowed him to absorb energy from various sources and convert it into something useful for his cultivation.

Now that it had reached Ultimate Grade, Mo Yuan was certain its efficiency would increase greatly.

He stood up and looked at the remaining Earth Heart Nectar.

There were fifteen litres left.

Mo Yuan carefully stored all of it inside his storage space.

’I’ll keep the rest for now. If I find any other useful talent that is still at a low grade, I can use the Earth Heart Nectar to upgrade it.’

After making his decision, Mo Yuan looked toward the Golden Mouse.

The little mouse immediately became alert when it noticed his gaze.

"Do you know if there are any inheritances here?"

The Golden Mouse tilted its head in confusion.

"Inheritance? What is that?"

Mo Yuan was not surprised by its answer.

Flame Overlord had already told him that it had lived in this Secret Realm for more than three hundred years, yet it knew very little about humans and all the knowledge came from some records.

If even the Flame Overlord did not know much about humans, than there was naturally no reason to expect the Golden Mouse to know inheritance that was built by humans.

Mo Yuan shook his head and changed his question.

"Forget about that. Tell me about treasures that can increase cultivation speed."

This was what Mo Yuan cared about more right now.

His cultivation speed was already extremely fast but he had entered this Secret Realm precisely because of the opportunities hidden inside it.

If there were treasures that could further increase his cultivation speed, there was no reason for him to ignore them.

’There are still fifteen days before my Copy and Paste Talent finishes its cooldown.’

’Until then, I should collect as many useful treasures as possible.’

The moment the Golden Mouse heard the word treasure, its eyes immediately lit up.

It puffed out its chest proudly and nodded.

"Yes, Senior! I know several places where you can find treasures that can increase your cultivation speed!"

Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Several?"

"Of course!"

The Golden Mouse looked extremely confident.

"If Senior wants to increase your cultivation, the first place we should go is that snake’s cave."

"Snake?"

Mo Yuan remembered the Golden Mouse had mentioned several powerful beasts earlier.

The Golden Mouse quickly explained.

"Yes. That snake has a treasure called Jade Liquid. It has been collecting it for many years and the Jade Liquid inside its cave is already a hundred years old."

"Hundred-year-old Jade Liquid?"

Mo Yuan’s eyebrows rose.

He had heard of Jade Liquid before.

The Treasure Compendium recorded it as one of the treasures that could greatly improve a cultivator’s cultivation after being consumed. As long as the cultivator had not reached the Sovereign Realm, the effect was said to be extremely useful.

Mo Yuan’s eyes immediately became interested.

"How much does it have?"

"I don’t know exactly," the Golden Mouse replied honestly. "But that snake has been living there for a very long time. There should be quite a lot."

Mo Yuan nodded.

"Let’s go."

The Golden Mouse immediately turned around and began leading the way.

Before leaving, Mo Yuan looked back at the cave.

He had no intention of destroying the place where the Earth Heart Nectar was formed.

There was no need.

The formation of Earth Heart Nectar was extremely slow. If he destroyed the place now, he would lose a valuable source of treasure forever.

’If I become strong enough in the future, I can always come back.’

With that thought, Mo Yuan left the cave with the Golden Mouse.

Outside, the Flame Overlord was still waiting.

Its severed arm had already reattached itself, although a clear wound mark remained around the shoulder.

Seeing Mo Yuan emerge, the Flame Overlord immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Are you done, Senior?"

Mo Yuan nodded.

"Yes. I’ll be leaving now."

After saying that, Mo Yuan followed the Golden Mouse and quickly disappeared into the distance.

The Flame Overlord remained where it was.

It watched Mo Yuan’s disappearing figure for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

This was the first human it had ever encountered and unfortunately, its first experience with a human had been such a terrifying one.

It had lived for more than three hundred years, survived the strange massacre in the Secret Realm and even dominated the Secret Realm with its strength.

Yet today, a human who was clearly at a lower realm had casually cut off its arm.

The Flame Overlord lowered its head and sighed.

’My luck is really terrible.’

After another moment, it returned to its cave.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuan and the Golden Mouse were already heading toward their next destination.
