Chapter 775: Great Void Celestial Conqueror
"Alive?" Leon's eyes lit up immediately.
"Where is it now? Is it lying somewhere in this secret realm?—No, if it's a Half-step True Divinity, then it probably survived the war and left long ago…"
Leon made his own assumption before the Realm Spirit could answer.
However, once again, his speculation was only half correct as the Realm Spirit spoke, 'Master is correct about the Black True God Beast being alive. However, it hasn't left the Radiant Heaven Realmship.'
"It hasn't? That's great!" Leon exclaimed, almost failing to control his excitement before he said, "Quickly tell me where it is, and I'll reward you with some more True Grandmist Energy."
'The Great Void Celestial Conqueror impaled the Turtle God Beast with Godly Divine Needles and sealed it at the bottom of the Bone Sea after it tried to seek justice for the Eternal Night Demon Empress and has been trapped down there ever since.'
The Realm Spirit explained.
"At the bottom of the Bone Sea, huh? I see."
Leon acknowledged with an understanding nod, but learning of the Black Turtle God Beast's whereabouts didn't help in relaxing his frown.
At the same time, he memorized the name of the Celestial Conqueror, the person responsible for the spatial lock.
'Master, if you try to venture to the bottom of the Bone Sea as you are now, the powerful sea monsters down there will kill you. You'll need the strength of a Celestial, at the very least, to freely explore that place.'
The Realm Spirit kindly reminded Leon in fear of losing its only supplier of True Grandmist Energy.
At the same time, Leon's frown deepened in thought.
Forget about the sea monsters; he would have to get past the demons before he could worry about the sea monsters.
Nevertheless, for the Realm Spirit to suggest that he needed to be at the Celestial level to explore the seafloor, the sea monsters at that depth must be at least Peak-Paragon level existences.
"How can there be such strong sea monsters down there?" Leon uttered with curiosity.
'As a Half-step True Divinity with God Beast Blood, the Black Turtle God Beast has a near-limitless lifespan. Therefore, every drop of its blood is a treasure to mortals like Master, let alone the sea monsters down there.'
"So the sea monsters down there get to enjoy all the benefits from the Black Turtle God Beast's blood, huh? How envious," Leon commented while rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
If he wanted to reach the bottom of the Bone Sea without Celestial-level strength, he could just rely on the Realm Spirit's spiritual strength.
However, relying on the Realm Spirit to explore the seafloor was risky; he needed to bind the Radiant Heaven Realmship first and guarantee the Realm Spirit's loyalty.
Seeing Aria and the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman return from their hunting trip, Leon decided to end his conversation with the Realm Spirit there.
"We'll talk more later. I have something to do now," he stated.
'Understood, Master.'
The Realm Spirit behaved very obediently.
Nevertheless, Leon had no reason to let his guard down; he needed to maintain his favorable position as a mysterious person with unknown amounts of True Grandmist Energy.
…
"Who were you talking to?" Aria asked with curiosity after she returned to Leon's side with her blueish-white dress still stained in fresh demon blood.
Upon noticing those stains, Leon doesn't answer immediately but helps her clean her dress by extracting all the demon blood with his will.
"How did you get yourself so dirty?" he asks with a slight smile.
"I know you need demon blood for your cultivation, so I got too caught up in collecting their bodies for you and failed to notice the stains," Aria replies.
Leon couldn't resist her thoughtfulness and gave her a smooch on the forehead, making her heart feel fluttery.
"I was talking to the Realm Spirit," he answers her previous question shortly after.
"The Realm Spirit?" Aria tilted her head with a confused yet slightly abashed look before she suddenly paused at a realization. "Wait a minute, a Realm Spirit? But that would mean that this secret realm is…"
"Yes, it's exactly what you are thinking, Aria."
Leon did not find it surprising for Aria to understand the truth behind the secret realm quickly after he mentioned 'Realm Spirit.'
After all, she possesses Aria White's memories.
"So, it's true…" Aria utters with surprise.
"Yep."
Leon confirms her doubts again.
However, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman, who was not far away from either of them, was confused beyond belief as he failed to follow their conversation.
"What are two talking about? How come this old man can't seem to follow at all?" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman expressed his confusion.
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's dumb look amuses Leon before he explains, "Basically, what we were saying is that this secret realm is one enormous treasure."
"Everyone knows that…"
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman replies while knitting his brows as if implying to Leon, 'Isn't that obvious at a glance?'
"They do?" Leon was surprised for a moment before he shook his head and said, "No, I'm not talking about the secret realm containing treasure. I mean what I said literally; the secret realm is one enormous movable treasure."
"Secret realm can be moved? Surely, you jest, Young Master Leonhardt," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman cracks a wry smile at such an unbelievable revelation.
It was too unfathomable for him to believe despite knowing that Leon wouldn't lie to him. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would still find it hard to accept.
It shatters his common sense.
When the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman tries to picture it in his mind, he can only see a giant landmass with moving legs, which is too ridiculous for him to continue the imagination.
Nevertheless, Leon had expected such a reaction from the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman as any unknowledgeable person would have reacted the same way after learning the truth.
"You don't need to believe it now; I am confident that even if I don't explain later, you will have no choice but to believe it with your own eyes, Senior," Leon stated with a smile.
Shortly after, he shifts his attention to the spatial storm.
"Anyway, it seems like the battle here is over, but none of us can ascertain when Darlene's Transcendence will finish."
"So it seems," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman commented.
