Martial Master

In the Alchemy Pavilion, the vast realms of the universe are considered extremely important treasures and are generally not easily brought out. Qin Chen had also entered the vast realms back at the headquarters of the Alchemy Pavilion years ago.

But now, this vast realm appeared in the Northern Celestial Domain and was in the hands of Ouyang Zhengqi, which made Qin Chen feel that something extraordinary was at play.

Suddenly, the parasitic seed in his mind seemed to sense some kind of threat, buzzing and instantly becoming void.

In Qin Chen's perception, the parasitic seed that had originally existed in his mind suddenly became transparent. If it weren't for the fact that the parasitic seed was located in his mind and his spiritual energy could easily perceive it, he might have thought that the parasitic seed had disappeared completely.

At the moment the parasitic seed disappeared, an extremely subtle force swept by, brushing past Qin Chen's body.

This force was incredibly faint, yet it was terrifying. Had it not been for Qin Chen’s spiritual energy noticing the change in the parasitic seed and being highly sensitive to external changes in power, he might not have discovered such a force sweeping past him.

Under this force, Qin Chen felt as if there was nowhere to hide; everything in his body was being thoroughly probed, with no secrets left.

"This is... the spirit of the vast realm?"

Qin Chen was startled. What was it scanning?

He had long known that there were spirits in the vast realms, known as "Little Realm," which were the actual controllers of the vast realms. Their intelligence was not high, and they were quite cute and naive.

But now "Little Realm" was scanning around him, seemingly searching for something. This made Qin Chen, who had originally wanted to contact the spirit, break out in a cold sweat, not daring to move in the slightest.

Under normal circumstances, the spirit "Little Realm" was usually in a dormant state and had no likes or dislikes, showing no interest in the outside world. Therefore, the appearance of "Little Realm" must have its own purpose, seemingly searching for something specific.

But what could it be searching for?

Thinking back to the earlier active disappearance of the parasitic seed, Qin Chen felt a shock. Could it be that "Little Realm" was searching for the parasitic seed?

It was possible, but it was just a possibility. Perhaps the parasitic seed sensed a threat and intentionally hid itself.

Qin Chen's mood suddenly became heavy. The disappearance of the parasitic seed gave him an unsettling feeling. Although the parasitic seed was just a seed, it was very likely that its own consciousness was slowly awakening, or else it wouldn't have hidden itself spontaneously.

If that was the case, he needed to find the Town Realm Pearl quickly. The activation speed of the parasitic seed was much faster than he had imagined.

At this moment, Qin Chen couldn't help but think of the big black cat. That guy who called himself the Black Emperor had mysteriously disappeared ever since they exited the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, and he hadn’t seen him since.

As Qin Chen was lost in thought, five minutes had already passed, and the second round of the assessment officially began.

The many alchemists under the coverage of the vast realms all began to move, starting their cultivation of spiritual herbs.

"In the last round, it was surprisingly Qin Chen who won. In this round, I will definitely win!"

Yan Chi Dao, Ye Mo, and others had ashen faces, each secretly competing. Meanwhile, Qiu Tian and his group looked particularly grim.

They were all geniuses of the alchemy path from the Martial Domain. Initially, they had entered the lower four domains to compete for a spot in the Ancient Yu Realm, but who would have thought that in the first round of assessments, they would all fall behind the top three, the anger in their hearts was apparent.

This further ignited their desire to win.

"Just a bunch of ants from the lower four domains. In this round of alchemy assessment, I will let these lower four domains' ants know what true spiritual herb cultivation is!"
