I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 583: Chapter 277: Shocking Secrets, Ancient Dragon Palace_2

His heart clenched.

The biggest secret in him was not the pearl in his Sea of Consciousness or the many spiritual items, the Suizhu Command Tablet, but his Proficiency Panel.

He didn’t know if this biggest support, which had come with him through the crossing, would be seen through, as his heart rarely showed a trace of panic.

At this moment.

When this heavy gaze fell on Han Yi, the black token engraved with the characters ‘岁’ and ‘烛’ on his body had already floated up in mid-air.

A soft sigh echoed through the air.

Then, the suspended black token fell back onto Han Yi’s body.

With his heart trembling, Han Yi recalled when he accidentally entered the Mirage Immortal Mountain and entered the Ninefold Void Realm. He ventured deeper into the Ninefold Void Realm with this token and brought back a black bead from some lower level. From that experience, Han Yi had long guessed that the black bead was related to this token, or rather, to the mysterious cave mansion behind the token.

At this moment, after the mysterious bead turned from black to white, the Master Illusory that emerged was prompted by the token, but he only sighed lightly with an implication that Han Yi couldn’t understand.

The secret hidden behind this sigh was definitely unimaginably big.

Since Han Yi had some guesses about Master Illusory, the bead held a terrifying existence in the depths of Void Domain that he had glimpsed when he crossed layers of Void Domain. At the time, with his insights, Han Yi already knew that it was an existence far beyond Spirit Transformation.

Moreover, every strange existence on each level was much more terrifying than the Immortal Mountain’s black scroll released in Fragmented Immortal World.

This Master Illusory was definitely an Immortal, or rather, he was an Immortal in his lifetime, and even among Immortals, he was a higher-level one.

As Han Yi pondered.

The gaze that looked at him had already been withdrawn, and Master Illusory, who emerged from the white bead, showed no interest in Han Yi’s other aspects besides his black token. This allowed Han Yi to let out a sigh of relief.

Then.

Han Yi could sense the Master Illusory’s gaze falling on Yuan Shun not far away.

Speaking of which.

From the moment Han Yi fully activated his Spirit Void Finger and landed it on Yuan Shun, disturbing him from his stupor, Yuan Shun conjured a white seal with corpse qi, then Han Yi’s black bead emerged from the Sea of Consciousness, absorbing the seal and turning into a white bead, transforming into Master Illusory. The Master glanced at Han Yi and the black token floated up before falling down again.

In this moment, only a single breath’s time had passed.

During this breath of time, Yuan Shun, who had gathered the white seal, had returned to his comatose state, standing in place, ready to continue walking forward.

When Master Illusory’s gaze fell on Yuan Shun, his intending to walk forward was instantly frozen in place, as if the surrounding time and space had solidified.

Then.

Master Illusory vanished, and the white bead floating in mid-air gently jumped. When it appeared again, it was on top of the frozen Yuan Shun’s head, then it fell down and sunk into his head.

Hundreds of meters away, Han Yi’s heart clenched. Although he could not see due to the dense corpse qi, his divine consciousness still clearly “saw” the white bead enter Yuan Shun’s head.

This mysterious bead wouldn’t be trying to possess Yuan Shun, right? He didn’t want his good intentions to backfire; he came to find Yuan Shun, not to harm him.

However.

At this moment, even if he wanted to stop it, he was powerless, and there was no better way. He could only watch the white bead enter Yuan Shun’s head and disappear.

He made up his mind that if he found any signs of Yuan Shun being possessed, he would flee, never stepping into the corpse domain again and assuming that Yuan Shun was dead.

Therefore, Han Yi retreated hundreds of meters again, barely at the limit of his divine consciousness exploration of Yuan Shun.

When he stood still again and looked back.

He saw the terrifying corpse qi swirling around Yuan Shun’s location, like boiling hot water, wrapping him up and making it impossible to see his body.

Just as Han Yi was on guard, the boiling corpse qi vanished instantly.

A voice, as if awakening from a dream, full of doubt, came out from the dissipating corpse qi.

“Huh?”

“Han Yi?”

Han Yi was suddenly shocked, his eyes wide and face ecstatic. He would not mistake this voice; it belonged to Yuan Shun. From the sound alone, Han Yi knew that the speaking Yuan Shun had regained his senses, at least for now.

And indeed, at the edge of his divine consciousness’s range, Yuan Shun had already turned around and looked in Han Yi’s direction. While his pupils were still white, the changes in his facial expression made Han Yi realize that the familiar sect leader was back.

However.

As always, Han Yi was cautious. He didn’t know if the returning Yuan Shun had been possessed, so he did not approach or make any moves.

But.

Yuan Shun, almost a kilometer away, only glanced at Han Yi before slowly levitating, looking around as if seeing the entire corpse domain, and even looking down, as if seeing something buried deep below in the land of Tianquan World’s far north.

Then.

He gently waved his hand.

A kilometer away, Han Yi uncontrollably moved closer to Yuan Shun, a force beyond his imagination immobilizing him and silently falling on him. Before he could react, he was already standing in front of Yuan Shun, the two of them less than three meters apart. At such a distance, life and death were in someone else’s hands.
