Chapter 273 Breakthrough to Level 5! Hidden Profession [Secret Sea Walker! ]

Chapter 273 Breaking through the fifth level! Hidden profession - [Secret Sea Walker! 】

"See you again in Jianghu..."

Yan Yan chewed these words silently, with a soft smile on his face.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he first met Xia En.

Then, Yan Yan opened his palm, and a butterfly condensed from flames fell gracefully and landed on the [Black Swan].

The moment the butterfly came into contact with the deck, it turned into a strange mark.

The butterfly pattern inside is still changing slightly, as if it is breathing.

In the blink of an eye, the butterfly mark blended into the hull of the [Black Swan] and quickly disappeared.

"I originally thought that this separation would be an eternal farewell."

Yan Yan said, "But now that I think about it, that would be too lonely."

"This mark contains part of my power, but it will also reconnect our destiny."

"Maybe it will cause you a lot of trouble in the future."

According to Yan Yan's original idea, he would cut off the connection with the [Black Swan] and no longer have any contact with him.

Because with the comeback of "King Salary", there are bound to be forces from all sides who want to know about his situation, and even various enemies will come to visit him.

The isolated [Black Swan] is undoubtedly an excellent entry point.

To put it bluntly, compared with King Xin’s former enemies, [Black Swan]’s current strength is still too weak.

Just some of the aftermath of this big incident was enough to leave the [Black Swan] covered in bruises.

It is a wise decision to keep distance and never meet again.

Yan Yan even originally planned to use some special secret technique to cut off the thread of fate between the two parties, so that other forces would not be aware of the existence of the [Black Swan].

But after listening to Xia En's message, Yan Yan changed his mind.

He didn't want to cut off this bond and memory.

Even he didn't know whether such a decision was right or wrong.

Yan Yan looked at everyone on the boat and said, "Please tell Captain Xia En a few words."

"To this day, I still regard myself as a crew member of the [Black Swan], and Mr. Shane is still my captain."

"The destination of my trip is the far north."

"Perhaps we will meet again there!"

After saying that, Yan Yan waved his hand, stopped staying, turned around and stepped onto the deck of the [Black Flame].

Soon, the towering bow of the [Black Flame] split the waves, the fluttering flag danced in the air, and then sailed into the distance.

Everyone on the [Black Swan] felt disappointed.

No matter what, Yan Yan left after all.

And I don’t know when we will meet again.

The future is always uncertain.

It was like, no one expected that Yan Yan would leave today.

This inevitably makes people feel a little depressed, as if there is a dark cloud hanging over the [Black Swan].

"It would be nice if Mr. Captain was here..."

Joey murmured softly, expressing the thoughts of the crew.

"Mr. Captain, how long until we can come back?"

…

…

In a dark, empty space.

Xia En's "body" curled up into a ball, his consciousness was hazy, and he was half asleep and half awake.

Compared with the beginning of his promotion to the ritual, he has become countless times weaker.

Both the total amount and the quality of the secret power were consumed in this space to the point of being extremely weak.

The worst part is.

Xia En's consciousness was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning.

In the process of trying to use [Great Dark Sky] to assimilate the barrier of [Nothingness], his thinking is also being assimilated by [Nothingness].

The meaning of "emptiness" is that there is nothing, nothing exists.

Senses, memories, emotions, thoughts…

These human characteristics seem to be constantly being stripped away from Xia En.

At a certain moment, Xia En even felt that he had become [nothingness] itself.

There seems to be nothing wrong with just being completely immersed in this darkness?

But there was always a voice in Xia En's heart, reminding him.

"You must wake up!"

"Your ship, your crew, are waiting for you!"

"Your name is Shane, and you are a man destined to conquer the sea!"

This kind of self-hypnosis barely allowed Xia En to maintain his final rationality.

Time passed by so silently.

Until a certain moment.

Xia En's secret power seemed to have finally touched the "frequency" of this [emptiness], and triggered an unprecedented resonance.

Buzz——

Amid the violent vibrations, the barrier formed by [emptiness] began to disintegrate silently, and the resistance gradually dissipated.

In fact, this barrier still exists.

However, it has become a part of Xia En's "body" and is no longer an obstacle.

It was as if a whole new world had opened its door to Shane.

Immediately afterwards, countless phantoms suddenly emerged from the boundless darkness, and chaotic fragments of light and shadow swept over like a storm, filling his mind.

And amid the crazy fragments of information, scenes flashed through Xia En’s mind——

In the endless dark sea, some kind of huge and terrifying body is slowly growing and growing.

The ancient and chilling eyes looked at the city-state from the deep sea. They were indescribable ancient gods, indifferently scanning the world.

In the distant sky, an unimaginably huge ball of light emits dazzling brilliance all the time, illuminating the world.

One after another, gods whose faces cannot be seen are born in ignorance and live in an indescribable form.

Ancient dragons roar among the mountains.

Elves dance in the forest.

Countless races rise and fall, grow and die. This process, which has been fast-forwarded tens of thousands of times, looks spectacular and strange.

However, as the perspective continues to zoom in and out.

Shane saw that the place where all these scenes took place was just a huge light bubble with a halo.

And outside this light bubble is a deep and boundless deep sea.

Countless similar light bubbles, like stars, are scattered everywhere in the deep sea.

Seeing this scene, Shane's heart was shocked, and a huge wave was set off in his mind.

He understood many things in an instant.

There is no doubt that this deep sea with countless stars is the [Secret Sea] he had explored!

In people's conventional cognition, the [Secret Sea] is a part of this world. It is not only the source of power for many secret pathers, but also hides many mysterious [Secret Realms] and gods.

And based on the scene that Xia En saw, it is not difficult for him to draw a conclusion-

In fact, the world where the Seven Seas is located is just a larger light bubble in the [Secret Sea].

Compared with those [Secret Realms], there is no essential difference!

They think that their magnificent and great history, the changes of those races, and the evolution of civilization are just stories that happened in a light bubble.

It is conceivable that if this truth is spread in the Seven Seas, what kind of terrible shock will it cause.

And Xia En, as a time traveler, can't help but think of more.

Since this world is a light bubble in the [Secret Sea].

Then in other light bubbles, are there civilizations that are not inferior to the [Seven Seas World]?

Is the [Earth World] where Xia En once lived also a member of the light bubble?

Even if this is just some speculation, Xia En's mood is shaken and he can't calm down for a long time.

At this time,

Shane suddenly felt a kind of "gaze."

It was not like a gaze, nor any kind of will with a clear source.

He felt as if he was being gazed at by time itself.

Something older than history, larger than the city-state, and even seemed to come from the deepest part of this [Secret Sea]... was looking at him.

There was no emotion in that "gaze", no malice or kindness.

He just looked at him.

Like a cold empty shell, looking at an uninvited guest who broke into this place ignorantly, and said indifferently——

[You are here. 】

Boom!!!

A loud bang came from Shane's consciousness, and the remaining rationality collapsed and reorganized.

The darkness on all sides seemed to begin to fade.

Some invisible things that slowly crawled and deformed in the darkness seemed to be gradually condensing and transforming into entities.

They looked like dry tree branches, bridging and gathering each other in the void, connecting those star-like light spots and light traces together, vaguely possessing some special rules.

"Is this... the connection between different [secret realms]?"

Xia En's consciousness gradually became clear, and he thought: "And that will just now, could it be the [secret sea will] mentioned by Augustine?"

No emotion, like a machine, like an empty shell.

That "gaze" really meets the description of the [secret sea will].

However, Xia En couldn't tell what these indescribable tree-like things represented for a while.

Splash--

Suddenly, the sound of waves sounded in Xia En's ears.

This was not the movement imagined in the consciousness, but a real sound.

And this also means that the five senses have returned to Xia En.

At the same time, it means that he has successfully completed this promotion ritual!

Xia En's consciousness suddenly felt down to earth, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly rose in his heart.

After suffering for so long, the bitterness finally came to an end!

Immediately afterwards, the waves from the [secret sea] descended on him.

Under the flushing of the vast and abundant secret power, several prompts emerged from Xia En's eyes.

[Complete the trial task: Break through the world barrier! ]

[End of the promotion ritual! ]

[Job in the hidden secret path profession: Secret Sea Walker (Level 5)! ]

Xia En couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The promotion ritual was over, and he was told the specific content of the trial task. This is too tricky!

Moreover, the [Nothingness] barrier he broke through before was actually the "world barrier?"

But think about it carefully.

Combined with the name of the profession [Secret Sea Walker], he must have the ability to break through the world barrier before he can really walk in the [Secret Sea].

——Of course, Xia En actually took a tricky approach, adjusting his secret power to a frequency close to the barrier and passing through this barrier.

No wonder the forced breakthrough method didn't work.

That was the barrier of a world, which was obviously not something Xia En could do now.

…

"These two talents..."

Xia En looked at these descriptions carefully, and his expression couldn't help but be a little subtle.

First of all, the strength of these two talents is absolutely online.

The former directly gave Xia En a powerful BUFF, making him immune to curses and other secret techniques.

To be honest, Xia En is often not very afraid of head-on combat.

If you really can't beat him, you can still run away.

But curses are hard to guard against, especially as the rank increases, the curses mastered by the Mystic become more and more weird and dangerous.

In particular, an organization like the [Truth Society] obviously has the ability to locate locations, divination and other means.

Like last time, [Thousand Changes] Jia Xiu found the [Black Swan] inexplicably and almost caused a catastrophe.

It is obviously necessary to make some preparations in advance.

Moreover, what is really important about this talent is probably its secondary effect.

It allows Xia En to avoid many dangers when walking in the [Secret Sea].

Xia Enke has not forgotten that when he first explored the [Secret Sea], he ran into an incredibly huge creature.

As for the [Eye of Peeping Secrets]...

The description of this talent made Xia En a little confused.

"What does it mean to think about the [Secret Sea]?"

Xia En couldn't help but think of those weird branches, and suddenly realized something -

That kind of thing may not actually exist.

What he saw was probably just a thought that flashed through [Secret Sea Will] at a certain moment.

And the strong imprint of this idea turned into the huge structure he saw in his eyes.

Think again.

Those tree branches connect many light points together.

Perhaps it means that there is a special connection between these [secret realms].

For example, a certain [Secret Realm] is separated from another [Secret Realm].

For another example, a certain [secret realm] is inhabited by humans who have migrated from other [secret realms].

With this talent, Xia En can filter out the [Secret Realms] related to the [Seven Seas World] from the endless light spots.

It can greatly reduce the time wasted exploring invalid [secret areas].

It is also a very practical talent.

The only thing that dissatisfied Xia En is...

These two talents are the ability to assist the exploration of the [Secret Sea] and do not intuitively improve the actual combat power.
