Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 522 - 202: Red Treasure Pearl? Is It This One?

Chapter 522: Chapter 202: Red Treasure Pearl? Is It This One?

Although minimal, Xu Ran’s control over his body is incredibly terrifying, able to sense any slight change immediately, so he knew right away.

Zhang Jiao clapped and praised, "Not only is he extraordinarily gifted and powerful, but even his perceptiveness is so meticulous. Our decision to awaken early was indeed the right choice!"

Xu Ran asked, "General of Heaven, did the First Emperor and Champion Marquis say you had a way to enter a higher-dimensional world?"

This matter is the most important.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiao said seriously, "Yes, but it’s very difficult."

Xu Ran was fearless, filled with ambition, "General of Heaven, speak freely, we will definitely accomplish this task!"

Tiger Girl and the other five also clenched their fists, full of confidence.

Seeing Xu Ran and the others so confident, Zhang Jiao burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, since you all are so confident, I have no reason not to believe you!"

"When I first ventured into the Exotic Star, I obtained one of the secrets to entering the high-dimensional world, which requires a Red Treasure Pearl that exudes the aura of the world."

Zhang Jiao continued forlornly, "However, I scoured the entire Exotic Star back then and couldn’t find it, otherwise I would have handed it to you now!"

"Is it this?"

Suddenly, Xu Ran had a Red Treasure Pearl in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao immediately turned to Xu Ran, seeing indeed a Red Treasure Pearl in his hand.

Looking closely, one could see within the pearl, astonishingly, there were planets, containing the aura of the cosmos.

At once, Zhang Jiao exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, this is it, this is it!"

Zhang Jiao took the Red Treasure Pearl, held it in his hand, and examined it carefully.

Xu Ran hadn’t expected that this Red Treasure Pearl, born out of the Twilight of the Gods, would have such an important function.

No wonder I’m the chosen one!

Then, Zhang Jiao handed the Red Treasure Pearl back to Xu Ran, continuing to speak.

"However, having only this Red Treasure Pearl is not enough, you also need other similar treasures, otherwise, to enter the high-dimensional world, it would require sacrificing the lives of billions of people!"

Billions!

Even if you wanted to do it, there wouldn’t be enough humans to sacrifice.

Moreover, Xu Ran would never sacrifice his people to accomplish this.

Without delay, he took out a Seven-Colored Key.

"I also have a Seven-Colored Key!"

With that, Zhang Jiao, once again surprised, looked at the Seven-Colored Key in Xu Ran’s hand.

In just one minute, experiencing two critical hits, even General of Heaven Zhang Jiao could barely withstand it.

He could only keep saying, "Good, good, good, good, good!"

As soon as Zhang Jiao finished speaking, the vision of Xu Ran and the others went black, and when the light returned, they found themselves in a new place.

Seeing the scene before them, Xu Ran’s eyes suddenly widened, staring blankly around, not daring to move.

At this moment, they stood on a small piece of rock, only large enough for six people to stand, with no extra space.

Beneath their feet was nothing but an endless ocean.

Upon this ocean, floated pieces of wood and rooftops.

At this moment, raindrops fell on their faces, the "drip drop" sound echoing in their ears.

Looking up, they saw torrential rain falling, hitting their faces painfully.

Gazing at the boundless ’ocean’, everyone felt bewildered, having never witnessed such a scene.

"Big brother, what shall we do?" Tiger Girl asked.

At that moment, Xu Ran realized which ancient mighty one’s secret realm this was, undoubtedly Da Yu’s.

The current scene should be when Da Yu controlled the floodwaters.

According to records.

Ten thousand years ago, Huaxia Land suffered years of drought, and after people fervently prayed for rain, a torrential rain suddenly fell. Everyone thought this was the heavens’ mercy, but the rain continued for three hundred and sixty-five days.

Years of heavy rain left the people of Huaxia destitute, homeless, and extremely miserable.

Da Yu then took over the task of flood control from his father, wearing a pair of straw sandals, journeying through the world, finding nine Giant Tripods to suppress the runes inscribed by the Talisman Vengeful God, successfully controlling the waters.

However, the trial of this secret realm was unknown.

Moreover, just when they were sent out by Zhang Jiao, he mentioned that there were also messages about heavy treasures within Da Yu’s secret realm.

According to the previous three secret realms, it’s likely that after completing the trial, they would meet Da Yu.

Suddenly, while pondering.

An unexpected black shadow appeared in the distance of the sea, upon focusing, it was a wave.

Looking around, Xu Ran noticed that aside from the ground where they stood, everything else was water; if the wave hits, there was no escape.

Tiger Girl and the other five also saw the swiftly approaching wave, asking, "Big brother, what do we do? The wave is coming."

Xu Ran pondered for a moment, then immediately decided, "Since there’s no escaping it, let’s face it head-on!"

With that said.

The wave was already at their eyes.

"Gulp, gulp～"

Xu Ran and the others were already swept underwater.

Suddenly, Xu Ran felt a sharp pain in his mind, but it quickly disappeared.

"This feeling?" thought Xu Ran.

"It feels like being controlled by the Dao Heart Demon!"

"Could this also be an Illusion Realm?"

Xu Ran boldly speculated.

He previously learned from the Dao Heart Demon that Da Yu had fallen within its Illusion Realm, could this water be the medium Da Yu used to create illusions?

Immediately, Xu Ran’s eyes glowed with a golden light, simultaneously casting Penetrating Illusion.

When he opened his eyes again, Xu Ran found himself sitting cross-legged on flat ground.

Likewise, around him, Tiger Girl and the other five were in the same state, their eyes tightly closed, faces displaying agony.

"They are undergoing the cleansing of the Water of the Soul, don’t worry!" a gentle voice reached Xu Ran’s ears.

Following the voice, he saw an old man sitting cross-legged in front, wearing a tattered raincoat, a conical hat, and straw sandals on his feet.

"Da Yu?" Xu Ran speculated.

"Yes!" Da Yu said, "I am Da Yu!"

"I didn’t expect your cultivation talent to be unprecedented, and yet, your soul power is so strong that you can directly break through my illusion trial!"

Clearly, Da Yu was very surprised that Xu Ran was able to break through his illusion.

After all, his Water of the Soul could make even the true supremes suffer greatly, despite his demise a millennium ago.

"I previously underwent the Dao Heart Demon’s Dao Heart Trial and successfully cracked it, which greatly improved my soul power!" Xu Ran said.

Upon hearing this, Da Yu’s breathing became somewhat rapid, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Xu Ran, "Are you serious?"

The Dao Heart Demon was the alien monster that killed Da Yu, so it’s normal for him to have an emotional reaction.

Xu Ran also heard this from the Dao Heart Demon, "Indeed, it was the Dao Heart Demon who told me that it trapped you in the Dao Heart Trial, causing you..."

Da Yu waved his hand, "Indeed, my fall was the handiwork of the Dao Heart Demon."

"Back then, I had just found the Nine Tripods buried underground on Huaxia Land and, to avenge my Huaxia people, ventured alone to the Exotic Star with the Nine Tripods."

"At first, the supremes on the Exotic Star were suppressed by my Nine Tripods, unable to escape, and suffered relentless soul torment."

"Later, the Exotic Star’s Dao Heart Demon descended, and in my carelessness, I fell into the Dao Heart Trial!"

At this point, Da Yu’s eyes showed a hint of unwillingness.

"Unfortunately, I attained enlightenment too late, acquired the Nine Tripods too late, and had an already decaying body, causing me to become lost within the Dao Heart Trial and ultimately fall!"

Xu Ran nodded, looking at Da Yu.

Compared to the previous three secret realm masters, the First Emperor, Champion Marquis, and Zhang Jiao, indeed, he appeared old and frail.

If it weren’t for his quests during flood control, measuring Huaxia Land by foot, knowing every inch of Huaxia Land, he found the Nine Tripods hidden underground.

But the Nine Tripods primarily targeted soul power, with little enhancement to physical strength, which led to his downfall in the trial of the Dao Heart.

Immediately, Da Yu laughed slightly, "But the downfall was also a blessing in disguise."

Xu Ran’s eyes sparkled as he asked, "What do you mean?"

Looking at Da Yu, he nodded in acknowledgment.

Da Yu’s fortitude in measuring the Huaxia Land barefooted while controlling the flood marked him apart from previous Secret Realm Masters like the First Emperor, Zhang Jiao, or the Champion Marquis.

Although older in appearance, he had nevertheless attained a significant power that allowed him to suppress the beasts with his Giant Tripods, even the ones in the Exotic Star, holding them in torment, even the most supreme among them.
