Chapter 274 The Secret Power Sublimates and Returns to the [Black Swan]!

[Rhine Secret Realm]

Under a tree with crimson leaves and lush branches and leaves.

The invisible and intangible waves of secret power are flowing nearby, slowly spreading outward like a tide.

No matter flowers, trees, or stones, nothing can stop it.

And under the influence of this secret power, the growth rate of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] seems to have accelerated a little.

The crimson leaves swayed gently under the tide of secret power, looking very magical.

Looking at this scene, Sha Jingjing beside the altar was full of amazement and whispered.

"As expected of the Saint Son, the movement of promotion is getting bigger and bigger."

Beside Sha Jingjing, there are several boys and girls from the [Yongyue Clan].

They all sat around the altar, quietly comprehending this strange secret power and practicing with it.

Sha Jingjing turned around and said to them earnestly: "We are all blessed by the Holy Son to have such an opportunity. We must cherish it and be grateful."

Not long after Xia En entered the promotion ritual, a strange secret power began to emerge around the altar.

Sha Jingjing, who was in charge of guarding this place, soon discovered that this secret power was very beneficial to her body, and the previous bottleneck showed signs of loosening.

So, Sha Jingjing selected a group of talented tribesmen from the [Yongyue Clan] to practice beside this altar.

Sure enough, after this period of subtle influence, the strength of these tribesmen has improved to different degrees.

Some people's bodies have been strengthened.

Some people have a more delicate grasp of the secret power.

Hearing Sha Jingjing's words, a Yongyue Clan boy looked at Xia En's retreat hut with admiration and sighed.

"Sir, you are truly amazing."

"The aftermath of the promotion alone has benefited us greatly."

Another girl was worried: "But...isn't it too long for Sir to be promoted?"

"Is it really okay?"

Her thoughts were simple. Sir's promotion took so long, but he hadn't eaten. Would his body really be okay?

After hearing this, Sha Jingjing couldn't help but frown slightly.

To be honest, she had always been a little worried.

She knew more than the average tribesman, and knew that Xia En's promotion ritual was quite special and extremely difficult, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for retreat.

However, out of trust in Xia En, Sha Jingjing still chose to believe and wait.

Just then.

Another Moon-Songing Clan boy exclaimed in a low voice: "Look! Under the holy tree..."

Hearing his call, everyone's eyes immediately looked towards the bottom of the [Crimson Ancient Tree].

The previously invisible and intangible tide of secret power suddenly became faintly black.

This pitch-blackness expanded outwards in an instant, and soon dyed the entire tide black.

The [Rhine Secret Realm], which was sunny just now, became extremely dark in an instant.

Then, not only the [Crimson Ancient Tree], but also the space where many Yue Song people were located was shrouded in darkness.

At this moment, it was like the night had fallen!

In front of such a strange phenomenon, the boys and girls could not help but lose their voices, and even Sha Jingjing could not say a word.

Then, this piece of blackness moved without wind, rippling, and a little light appeared in the middle and slowly rose.

From a distance, it was like countless stars, scattered in the vast night sky.

Light bubbles of all sizes were generated and shattered in the deep darkness.

Sometimes they turned into light spots, and sometimes they turned into light marks.

Everything seemed bizarre, but at the same time it was full of wonderful rules.

Although Sha Jingjing and others were still standing on the land of [Rhine Secret Realm], they seemed to have crossed the barriers of the world and were able to see the true appearance of [Secret Sea].

How could such a scene not shake people's minds and shock them?

In fact, for them, witnessing such a scene in advance would be of great benefit to their future secret path and would help them avoid many detours.

When they were promoted, they would also become particularly smooth because they had sensed the breath of the [Secret Sea].

However, at this time, the people of the Songyue Clan had no time to care about such things.

Their whole body and mind were attracted by the strange scene in front of them and they couldn't extricate themselves.

Then.

Waves began to surge in the darkness, one wave higher than the other, like the deep sea before a storm.

Suddenly there was a roar.

The violent secret power that was dissipating around seemed to collapse after expanding to the extreme!

At the center of the secret power, a huge vortex appeared, and the vortex was bottomless.

Endless secret power rushed to the center of the vortex, pouring like a waterfall, enough to burst the body of an ordinary fifth-level secret pather to death.

Among them, the closest [Crimson Ancient Tree] also received a part of the secret power.

The whole tree grew taller visibly, and the crown became more luxuriant and luxuriant.

Seeing this, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized something and shouted: "Quickly absorb this secret power, absorb as much as you can!"

After that, Sha Jingjing sat down first and tried her best to absorb the secret power around her.

The total amount of this secret power is too huge.

Even when Xia En was absorbing it, a considerable part of it would escape.

And this part of the secret power is the opportunity for the people of Yongyue!

In the hut, Xia En closed his eyes tightly, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he could faintly hear the pulse like an ancient war drum.

The secret power pouring down from all around penetrated his body and injected into his chest.

There, there was an invisible vortex spinning.

The center of this vortex was the deepest darkness, which seemed to swallow everything.

While the vortex was spinning, the secret power of Xia En was also undergoing a magical transformation.

This was a sublimation of levels.

From ordinary secret power, it became a secret power that was closer to the depths of the [Secret Sea], purer, and more original.

When the deep darkness receded like a tide and the violent secret power subsided.

Xia En slowly opened his eyes and found that the hut beside him no longer existed, leaving only a pile of powder.

Obviously, under the violent secret power just now, the hut was overwhelmed and was directly crushed into powder.

Also torn into pieces were Xia En's clothes.

He took his clothes out of the space ring without panic and began to put them on.

But when he moved, Xia En suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

After sleeping for many days, his body was like a rusty machine, and even the simplest movements were a bit awkward.

However, as soon as he moved, Xia En immediately found that there was a volcanic power lurking in every cell of his body, which would erupt at the slightest thought.

He used a little more force and tore the clothes apart.

In desperation, Xia En had to carefully take out another piece and slowly put it on.

After putting on the clothes with great difficulty, Xia En examined himself and found that his body became more perfect after the promotion.

The streamlined muscle lines, the tall and straight spine, and even the facial features have undergone subtle adjustments, becoming more beautiful.

There is no flaw in the whole body, like a work of art.

In addition, what surprised Xia En even more was the change in his secret power.

His secret power, both in terms of total amount and purity, is several times more than before.

It's a very simple truth.

When performing the same secret technique, the purer the secret power, the greater the power it exerts.

Not only that, in the long process of breaking through the barrier of [nothingness], Xia En has been adjusting the state of the secret power, gradually changing its nature.

After the promotion ritual ended, his secret power was completely sublimated and transformed.

In fact, the secret power of each secret pather has its own characteristics.

For example, the secret power of the [Warrior] secret path is difficult to use for spells.

The fire attribute secret power is difficult to produce ice attribute attacks.

However, at this time, Shane's secret power seems to be able to evolve into any kind of secret power, suitable for different types of secret arts!

It can be said that this secret power is close to the origin of the secret power!

Its high level is extremely rare in the Seven Seas.

Because it is pure, it is powerful.

"It seems that this is the biggest benefit after being promoted to the fifth level."

Shane's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his lips.

Although the hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker] he obtained did not directly give him skills for combat.

But just the sublimation of this secret power has raised his combat power to a higher level.

If Shane casts [Great Dark Sky] now, he can hardly imagine how powerful it is.

It has to be said.

This promotion ritual can be called the most dangerous one among Shane's several promotions.

The other promotions were more difficult than those of other secret pathers, but with Xia En's strength at the time, he basically had ways to deal with them.

But this time, Xia En's physical fitness and combat power, which he had always relied on, were almost useless.

He could only rely on a little bit of exploration and experimentation.

The long persistence in the endless darkness constantly wore away his will.

At the most dangerous moment, Xia En almost lost himself in that [nothingness].

Xia En had reason to suspect that other secret pathers who failed to be promoted might have another chance.

And if he failed, he would only face complete death.

However, although the difficulty of the promotion ritual was high, the reward was also extremely generous.

"This secret power is close to the [nothingness] barrier that was touched before, but it has not really reached that level."

"Let's call it... [Void Secret Power]."

Xia En casually named this secret power, and quickly opened his posture, performing the [Knight Body Forging Method] movements on the open ground to adapt to the body after the promotion as soon as possible.

After doing four or five sets of movements, Xia En felt that he had roughly mastered his body. He then conjured up a bloody sword and repeatedly practiced basic sword skills.

After nearly an hour, he was completely adapted.

Not far away, Sha Jingjing waited patiently for Xia En's movements to stop, and then walked forward respectfully.

"Sir, the Holy Son..."

Xia En turned his head and looked at Sha Jingjing, who was standing up with his ears and shaking his tail, and suddenly felt as if he was in another world.

However, for some reason, the moment he saw him, Sha Jingjing tucked his tail between his legs and his body was still trembling slightly.

Xia En asked curiously: "Huh? Sha Jingjing, what's wrong with you?"

Sha Jingjing shivered and said honestly: "No, nothing."

"It's just that the current Sir, the Holy Son, is a little scary..."

In her eyes, Xia En was filled with a strong sense of oppression, like a giant beast in the deep sea, which made her instinctively feel a little uneasy.

It was like the reaction of a beast when it encounters those more powerful predators.

Especially looking at those dark and deep eyes, it gave her a feeling of looking directly into the abyss.

Obviously, this was because Xia En had just broken through and his aura had not yet been completely restrained.

Xia En tried to control the aura around him and asked.

"How long have I been promoted?"

Sha Jingjing replied: "It's been nearly a month."

"A month already?"

Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

This time is actually about the same as he expected, but in this month, a lot of things can happen.

Perhaps, something happened on the [Black Swan].

Therefore, Xia En no longer hesitated. After saying goodbye to Sha Jingjing, he activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and opened the silver light door.

After the light dissipates.

Xia En returned to the [Black Swan].

Looking at the familiar layout in the captain's cabin, Xia En suddenly felt at ease, as if he had returned home.

In fact, isn't [Black Swan] already his home?

Diwu——

Then, a long whistle sounded on its own.

Everyone on the ship felt the vibration and joy of the ship, like the cheers of thousands of people, and it was like the entire ship came to life and became active and vivid.

That's the [Black Swan] welcoming its captain!

With a "bang", the door to the captain's cabin was pushed open.

Joey rushed in first and rushed over to hug Shane.

"Mr. Captain, you are finally back!"

There were tears of joy in the girl's eyes.

Usually Xia En is always on the boat, so she doesn't feel much.

But this time Shane broke through the retreat, and Joey realized the irreplaceable importance of the captain.

It was only a month since she saw him, but to her, it felt like a century.

Shane rubbed Joey's little head and was a little surprised to find——

Joey seems to have grown up a bit.

Not only the height has increased, but also certain parts of the body have undergone some changes.

Probably from the Xiao Long Bao in the South to... the Xiao Long Bao in the North?

This was Xia En's subconscious judgment when they hugged each other. It was just an accident.

But think about it.

Judging from the days of the Siren's blood transformation, Joey is obviously still in the developmental stage, and it is natural for him to continue to grow up.

"Wow, it's Mr. Captain!"

Xian Ge's excited voice sounded outside the door: "Hiss... Why does it feel like Captain Xia En has become so much stronger!"

"This breath is like the [Secret Sea]."

Fei Ya grabbed the back of Xian Ge's neck, as if holding a big cat, to prevent it from rushing into the captain's cabin.

"Please calm down, didn't you see Joey making out with the captain?"

"Hmm? Making out?"

Xian Ge asked confusedly: "What does that mean?"

Hearing this, Joey stood up with a red face and said to the door: "You all come in."

Not long after, all the crew members came to Xia En, and even the lazy salted fish ghost Vivian floated in.

Seeing that they were safe and sound, Xia En couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon, Xia En noticed that one of the crew members was missing. He frowned slightly and asked.

"Where's Yan Yan?"
