The Unyielding Heart was momentarily stunned, its heartbeat echoed constantly, but no sound could be heard.

A long time passed.

A voice finally emerged from the heart: "Yes, we met in the Dream Realm. Velvet was my ancient name, now you can call me ’Secret Keeper’."

Secret Keeper.

This should be the name of the authority Velvet presides over. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Generally speaking.

Divine Spirits typically hold only one main authority.

Secrecy.

This authority likely involves powers of concealment, protection, and sealing.

"Alright."

Baiyu was not fixated on Velvet’s authority but was more concerned about the secret it wanted to exchange.

Trading with Divine Spirits is very dangerous.

Even if the other party is not an Evil God, but a neutral Divine Spirit, it often comes with extremely high risks.

Never trust the benevolence of Divine Spirits.

Therefore Baiyu did not immediately agree.

He continued to ask, "What do you want me to trade?"

The heart throbbed, emitting a loud, piercing sound: "Secrets! We are trading equivalently, secret for secret, but if you have a better idea, you can propose it.

I can sense.

There is a huge secret within you that I am very interested in.

But I cannot glimpse it.

However, I don’t intend to trade this secret at the moment, otherwise, the reward I give you would be unbearable.

So let’s proceed with some small transactions first.

I want to know the status of the Black Moon Divine Country, if you tell me, then I will tell you the secret about this passage.

This Spiritual Realm passage needs a special seal, it once contained great danger.

That’s why I’m guarding here.

But over the years, the danger has almost been eliminated, yet without precise information, wandering through the Spirit Realm beyond this passage could still pose a mortal risk.

But knowing the information beyond the passage,

you can avoid much of the danger and reap great benefits from the Spirit Realm beyond the passage. I can reveal a bit to you, there are Divine Spirits beyond this passage, and not just one."

At once.

Baiyu found himself in a dilemma.

Baiyu does not doubt Velvet’s words, the other party is the Secret Keeper and would not deceive him.

Secrets regarding Divine Spirits.

This is very tempting.

But the status of the Black Moon Divine Country is related to Black Moon.

This is also a Divine Spirit, and Black Moon is evidently more special among the Divine Spirits. Baiyu wonders if sharing this information with the Secret Keeper would be detrimental to Black Moon.

"Let’s do it this way, I’ll ask a different question, is Black Moon somewhat aware?"

The Secret Keeper’s voice echoed again.

This question was easier for Baiyu to answer, he smiled and said, "In my understanding, Black Moon should sometimes be conscious."

Anyway, it’s my understanding...

No matter what Velvet’s purpose is, this answer could not possibly offer any substantial assistance to it.

"I see."

Velvet responded with a slightly puzzled tone, but it was fleeting, soon Velvet began to offer the reward for this secret:

"Beyond this passage in the Spirit Realm, there are seventy-two rivers connected to the Endless River.

The water of the Endless River.

Flows from the Sea of Spirit.

Possesses the characteristics of being never exhaustible, never ceasing, and never having an end.

One can enter the Dream Realm through the Endless River, it is said that people became deities through the Endless River in ancient times.

This is not a myth.

The Destiny Twins accidentally fell into the Endless River and were subsequently saved by the Red Cup, becoming new Divine Spirits.

But for some reason.

The Destiny Twins had a falling out with the Red Cup, now they are at odds.

Then.

The Red Cup nurtured another Divine Spirit, the Unyielding Heart. The Red Cup still used the Endless River, letting the Unyielding Heart drown first in the river water, then become a deity through resurrection, but I can’t tell you the specifics of the rituals and authority involved.

Your secret is insufficient to exchange for the content of this ritual, and revealing it to you would likely burden you with this knowledge and content.

Yet the Unyielding Heart also parted ways with the Red Cup.

This heart is the power left from when the Unyielding Heart became a deity, and all seventy-two rivers connected to the Endless River are sealed by such a heart, along with that Spirit Realm, completely shut off."

After the Secret Keeper finished speaking, the Bronze Heart stopped pulsating, gradually shrank, and finally turned into a small heart, falling into Baiyu’s hands.

"This is the tool for entering the passage, with it, you can also avoid much of the danger beyond this Spirit Realm.

The remaining ones.

Though still threatening, if handled well, they won’t be fatal."

The Secret Keeper’s voice echoed in the cave, and the surrounding darkness quickly retreated, Loloya’s stern face appeared in Baiyu’s vision.

At this moment.

Baiyu understood.

Velvet obviously appeared here because of him, or rather, this Divine Spirit had foreseen something and directed its focus here.

Its ultimate goal.

Must be Black Moon.

Yet from its attitude, there doesn’t seem to be any enmity with Black Moon.

Divine Spirits have their factions too.

Baiyu has known this from before, and if the Secret Keeper were Black Moon’s enemy, it would definitely have acted against him, eradicating this Favored of Black Moon to prevent future trouble.

"Is there a situation? Do we need to retreat now?"

Loloya looked at Baiyu.

Though Baiyu only disappeared for a moment before reappearing, he was the only one who actively left the secretive environment.

"No need, that power has vanished. I met Velvet and made a trade with it."

Baiyu did not plan on hiding anything, truthfully informing them of the situation.

The faces of the four varied.

Loloya scrutinized Baiyu from top to bottom, eyes glowing with golden light, "No issues, no signs of parasitism or Spiritual Control, no traces of any foreign auras inside."

Once Baiyu was confirmed to be fine.

Only then did the vigilance on the four’s faces dissipate.

"I got the method to unseal here and enter the Spirit Realm inside from Velvet, but there may be some danger within, possibly threatening life. However, as long as we handle it well, the danger will be greatly reduced."

Baiyu took out the small Bronze Heart.

It had ceased throbbing, constantly emitting a cold touch.

Baiyu held the Bronze Heart and looked at the four, noticing they were apparently unwilling to retreat now, Baiyu raised the heart.

The Bronze Heart emitted a pulling force.

Slowly drawing in the massive heart blocking the front of the light gate.

The heart transformed into a flowing light, absorbed by the Bronze Heart, and all obstacles before the Spirit Realm light gate were cleared.

Loloya took a deep breath and stepped towards the light gate: "Let’s go, set off."

The five of them entered the light gate one after another.

Upon entering.

Baiyu immediately felt the air around was filled with chaotic and vast energy, making survival difficult for normal creatures.
