Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 496 - 492: Secret Realm Exploration Concludes
Counting it up, this should already be the third checkpoint we’ve passed.
Aside from Yao Wanning, the three of them, including Shen Han, did not have much concern for appearances.
Exploring the Secret Realm without getting dirty is not so easy.
They continued forward.
The further they went, the more open the surroundings became.
Above, there was no longer any cover.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by a cacophony of insect sounds.
At the same time, the strength of the group returned during this moment.
Feeling the restoration of their own power, the three of them, including Shen Han, felt a sense of relief.
“Brother Shen, this time, it’s really all thanks to you…”
Fu Tianqi looked towards Shen Han, speaking these words from the heart.
Recalling how, in the beginning, there were some conflicts between himself and Shen Han.
Now it seems, it really shouldn’t have happened.
“Junior Sister Su wasn’t wrong; you’re a treasure, understanding everything.
So many intricate traps and mechanisms, yet you managed to break through them all…
Honestly, if it were me, I wouldn’t hope to solve them even in ten days half a month.”
Beside them, Su Jinyu looked at Shen Han with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
There was also a bit of regret lurking beneath.
If at first, she hadn’t been so blind, perhaps it wouldn’t be like this now…
“Following behind you, I must admit, is indeed very reassuring.
No wonder the Moon Bamboo Peak Master is partial towards you…”
This time, Su Jinyu did not hold back her praise.
This was her second time exploring the Secret Realm with Shen Han.
With Shen Han present, everything became much easier; there were so many things she didn’t need to worry about.
Cultivators surely have participated in many explorations of Secret Realms.
Only through comparison do they know how easy it is with Shen Han.
Upon hearing their praises, Shen Han just waved his hand and smiled: “The Secret Realm exploration is not over yet, don’t let your guard down.”
The four of them were chatting as they quickly reached the end of the valley.
At the end, there was a low house.
Unexpectedly, inside, it should be where the inheritance is kept.
They quickened their pace, even Yao Wanning was no longer sluggish.
They pushed open the door of the small house.
Inside was empty, with only a bookshelf.
On the bookshelf, there were four thick manuals.
Upon seeing these, Shen Han and the other two finally let out a long sigh of relief.
From this moment on, the exploration of the Secret Realm was truly completed.
The three of them didn’t step forward and did not touch the manuals.
Shen Han was also well aware that, according to the rules, he, Su Jinyu, and Fu Tianqi were all invited to help.
The reward would be additional.
Therefore, whatever was obtained in the Secret Realm naturally did not belong to them.
These things all belonged to others from Snow Mountain House.
Thinking of this, they all took out their respective Sound Transmission Jades to inform their elders.
Yao Wanning also held her Sound Transmission Jade and had a quiet conversation with the people from Snow Mountain House.
The elders of Snow Mountain House likely did not expect that the Secret Realm would indeed be deciphered.
When Yao Wanning informed them, they were stunned for a moment.
After confirming, they instructed her to quickly bring the items out.
Now that the Secret Realm was resolved, the restrictions in the Void seemed to have vanished.
Taking these manuals out wouldn’t be difficult.
This time, however, Yao Wanning hesitated for a moment.
She took out a few manuals.
“Take them, but you can only choose one to read.
Just for two-hour…”
No one knew what Yao Wanning was thinking.
Such a proud person, she was actually willing to let the others look at these manuals…
Two hours is short, but wanting to glimpse at these painstakingly acquired manuals, was understandable.
At least to see what mysteries they hold.
Upon hearing her words, Su Jinyu turned her head to glance at Yao Wanning, then at Shen Han.
Did Shen Han just hit her head during the fight and make her brain malfunction…
“Fairy Wanning, are you sure you want us to see these…?”
Su Jinyu asked hesitantly, with a hint of doubt.
Upon hearing her words, Yao Wanning’s eyebrows furrowed directly.
“If you don’t want to see them, then never mind.”
“No, no… we want to see them…”
Hearing this, Yao Wanning didn’t say more, she reached out as if to pass the manuals out.
But then suddenly pulled back.
“Wash your hands first!”
They took some water from the Storage Ring, washed their hands, and only then did the three receive the manuals.
Four thick manuals.
One was about nurturing the Divine Soul, likely the experience of an Immortal in nurturing the Divine Soul.
Another was related to Sword Dao, seeing the passion in Su Jinyu’s eyes, Shen Han didn’t fight over it.
Fu Tianqi chose another manual focusing on Body Technique.
And Shen Han chose the one about the craft of mechanisms and traps.
“Thousand Moon Mechanism Secret Skill”
All along the way, he had deciphered many Mechanical Secret Skills.
But his ability to set up mechanisms wasn’t quite there yet.
If he could learn the art of mechanisms and supplement it with the art of arrays.
If he built a fortress, how many people could break through it?
Thinking of this, Shen Han picked up the manual.
Not far away, Yao Wanning was lost in thought on her seat, deeply contemplating, though no one knew what she was contemplating.
Shen Han didn’t waste time, focusing on the manual before him.
[Complicated and lengthy manual]
As expected, it was another gray entry.
Shen Han realized that whether in Great Wei or in the Divine Land.
Apart from those very basic cultivation technique manuals, other relevant texts were mostly gray entries.
After extracting the gray entries, Shen Han placed an [Easier to Understand] entry onto them.
With the entries processed, he began to quickly browse through it.
Each page took about twenty breaths to finish.
After extracting the gray entries, the entire manual became much thinner.
With the [Easier to Understand] entry added, he should be able to finish it in two hours.
Not far away, Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi were also flipping pages quickly.
The time was indeed limited, only two hours total.
Browsing through it this way, they might not even finish.
Although Shen Han’s browsing speed was similar to theirs, the difference in their understanding of manuals was significant.
As the two-hour nearly ended, Shen Han stopped reading further.
He switched the entries back again.
Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi didn’t try to read for a bit longer either.
When the time came, the three returned the manuals.
These manuals were very thick, and the content inside had its mysteries.
Studying them would take at least years.
Looking for a bit longer wouldn’t be particularly meaningful.
However, all three felt quite grateful for Yao Wanning’s generosity.
At least with this peek, they could slightly understand the abilities of the Immortal who constructed this Secret Realm.
They might not learn it, but at least they could gain some insights.
