Chapter 834: Chapter 834: 834: Dark Energy Resources

There were many houses in this Mystic Realm. It was not just enough to accommodate people, but more than enough to support a sect.

However, Ethan Smith’s top priority was to hide himself. Therefore, he simply tidied up a place here to his satisfaction.

“Having this Mystic Realm, even if I lose my Power of Martial Saint, I don’t have to worry too much,” thought Ethan Smith.

That being said, Ethan Smith knew in his heart that he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

Power borrowed from others can never be truly relied upon.

Now, on the surface, everything seemed quite peaceful.

But Ethan Smith knew very well that, in fact, there were countless hidden enemies lurking in the dark.

Such as Marc Fraley, the Halcroen Sect, and the father-and-son duo of the Poe family from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

The reason they didn’t make a move was probably due to the reluctance to face the Power of Martial Saint within him.

After settling everything here, Ethan Smith turned his attention to Kenneth Minnx.

“How do I enter this Mystic Realm in the future?” Ethan Smith asked.

Kenneth Minnx said solemnly, “To enter this Mystic Realm, you can only rely on the mystic keys.”

Ethan Smith frowned and asked, “Only by mystic keys? Isn’t there any other way, like a token, perhaps?”@@novelbin@@

“No, only with the mystic keys,” Kenneth Minnx shook his head.

Ethan Smith expressed his concern, “Isn’t there a risk of the mystic keys being exposed?”

“Indeed, so the mystic keys must not be easily revealed to others,” Kenneth Minnx nodded.

Ethan Smith suddenly understood.

No wonder there were so few people who could enter the major Mystic Realms.

Immediately after, Kenneth Minnx handed the mystic key to Ethan Smith.

With this key, Ethan could enter and exit this Mystic Realm freely.

Just as the trio returned from the Mystic Realm, Ethan glanced at Clarissa Johnson and asked, “What are your plans?”

Clarissa shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”

Ethan hummed in response and didn’t bother with Clarissa anymore.

“Oh, by the way, Kenneth, can the key to this Mystic Realm be modified?” Ethan suddenly thought of something.

Kenneth couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “You’re quite bold in your thoughts. If you could modify the key, you’d be able to create your own Mystic Realms.”

“That’s true,” Ethan Smith nodded.

“You can stay here for now. I have to go out for a bit.”

Ethan planned to visit the man with the mustache again.

The first reason was to find out what had happened to the Immortal Slaying Sect.

And the second reason was because the mustached man had traveled far and wide, possessing a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Ethan hoped to rely on the mustached man to accumulate the necessary herbs and resources for his breakthrough during seclusion.

He could feel the Power of Martial Saint within him slowly dissipating.

At this rate, the Power of Martial Saint would only last for about a week more.

Before it completely disappeared, Ethan had to gather enough resources for his breakthrough.

After leaving Gyeon City, Ethan called the mustached man.

After talking, Ethan found out that the mustached man was still at the Immortal Slaying Sect, arranging the formation at that moment.

Ethan didn’t waste any time and immediately rushed to the Immortal Slaying Sect.

By nightfall, Ethan finally arrived near the Immortal Slaying Sect.

At this time, the mustached man was already waiting for Ethan on the shore.

Pointing at the irregular footprints all over the ground, the mustached man said solemnly, “Do you see that?”

Seeing this scene, Ethan couldn’t help but frown.

He squatted down and carefully examined the numerous footprints on the ground.

Many of these footprints were in a broken state.

This was enough to prove that the footprints were not from normal people, but from incomplete corpses.

Based on these footprints, at least dozens of corpses have been resurrected,” said the mustached man solemnly.

Ethan Smith looked worried.

He took a deep breath and said, “These corpses, which are at the Mighty Realm, would definitely be a disaster if they were used by someone with bad intentions.”

“Yes,” the mustached man nodded.

“They may not be as good as the two in your possession, but they’re definitely not on the same level as ordinary martial artists.”

Ethan frowned, “Who is controlling these corpses?”

“I don’t know,” the mustached man shook his head.

“But one thing is for sure, the person who controls these corpses is no simple character, as this technique has long been lost.”

“Even for me, I can at most resurrect two corpses, but it would still take a lot of time and effort.”

This information couldn’t help but horrify people.

This force would even be difficult for the Capital City Martial Arts Association to resist, right?

Then, the mustached man led Ethan to the bottom of the sea.

On the side of the Immortal Slaying Sect’s main gate, a light-emitting formation was in place.

Without wasting any time, the two immediately entered the Immortal Slaying Sect.

Once inside the sect, the mustached man couldn’t help but say, “Ethan, the teleportation formation I arranged is clearly visible. You’ll be discovered sooner or later if you hide here.”

Ethan sneered, “Of course, I know.”

“Then why did you let me set up the formation?” the mustached man muttered.

Ethan gave him a glance, “I want them to discover it deliberately, to confuse their sight.”

The mustached man squinted his eyes, “You didn’t plan to hide here from the beginning?”

“That’s right,” Ethan nodded.

“Before coming here, I already took over one of the Halcroen Sect’s Mystic Realms.”

The mustached man suddenly understood.

Ethan didn’t continue on this topic.

He looked around and saw countless pits all over the Immortal Slaying Sect.

The whole sect looked like a plowed field, with the soil all turned over.

“Did you find anything here?” Ethan asked.

The mustached man shook his head, “I’d love to find some treasures, but unfortunately, I didn’t even find a single feather.”

Ethan just hummed and didn’t continue the conversation. Instead, he asked, “By the way, do you know where to find Divine Medicine or dark energy?”

The mustached man rolled his eyes and said, “Divine Medicine? If there was such a place, I would have gone there a long time ago.”

“Let me tell you, Divine Medicine is a part of the laws of heaven and earth, and as long as it belongs to the laws, there must be a pattern.”

“For top-tier Divine Medicine that has lived for tens of thousands of years, generally, getting one is already considered quite fortunate after so many cycles.”

This made Ethan sigh softly.

As his strength increased, so did his demand for medicinal herbs.

Ordinary herbs no longer had any effect on him.

“However… if you’re talking about dark energy, I know a few places,” said the mustached man, changing the topic.

Ethan quickly looked at the mustached man, indicating him to continue speaking.

The mustached man went on, “Very few people in the world cultivate with dark energy, which has led to a relatively small amount of development for dark energy resources. Therefore, comparatively, dark energy might be easier to obtain.”

Ethan hurriedly said, “Where? Take me there quickly.”

The mustached man gave Ethan a glance, “Although dark energy resources are relatively easier to obtain compared to qi resources, it doesn’t mean they are everywhere.”
