### Chapter 1761 — Shall We Go?
The Heaven Cutter Sect remained unusually quiet.
Everyone's eyes were still fixed on the distant Starry Sky Secret Realm.
The enormous celestial world floated high above the horizon.
Stars revolved around it.
Ancient light flowed endlessly.
Yang Lin looked toward Xue Yao.
"So."
"Are we going into the Starry Sky Secret Realm?"
Xue Yao looked at him.
Her expression was serious.
Her brows were lightly furrowed.
There was caution in her beautiful eyes—
But also determination.
After a brief silence—
She nodded.
"Of course."
"If it has appeared within the Inner Upper Realm..."
"We cannot ignore it."
Yang Lin smiled.
"Good."
"Then wait a moment."
"I'll go grab my sword."
He turned and calmly walked away.
Everyone watched him leave.
FeiFei blinked.
"...He actually forgot his sword?"
Su Qinglan smiled helplessly.
Liao Yu laughed quietly.
Xiao Rui folded her arms.
Han Qing shook her head.
Ning Mei closed her ancient book.
Han Chen looked thoughtful.
Bai Yao quietly waited.
Yue Bingxin calmly adjusted the straps of her sword box.
Even Zhao Feng and Gu Tian exchanged amused smiles.

### Chapter 1762 — Preparing For Departure
Everyone immediately began preparing.
FeiFei unsheathed her **Ice Soul Frost Sword**.
Its translucent blue blade continuously released freezing mist.
Snowflake runes drifted around the sword.
Even the surrounding air became colder.
Zhao Feng carried the **Blazing Sun Flame Sword**.
Its crimson blade burned with golden fire.
Each swing distorted the surrounding air.
Gu Tian rested his hand upon the **Heaven Gale Sword**.
A jade-green sword surrounded by streams of wind.
Tiny whirlwinds constantly circled its edge.
Su Qinglan lifted her treasured spear—
The **Azure Dragon Heaven Spear**.
Its silver spearhead shimmered with dragon scales.
Blue lightning quietly flowed across its shaft.
Liao Yu carried the **Night Shadow Sword**.
A pitch-black blade infused with dark attribute qi.
The sword absorbed nearby light.
Xiao Rui wore the **Heaven Mirror Shield** upon her left arm.
A defensive treasure engraved with ancient formations.
Behind her rested the **Moon Feather Spirit Bow**.
Its pale silver string never needed arrows.
Spirit arrows formed automatically.
Ning Mei had reached Earth Immortal Tenth Stage Peak.
Although she rarely relied on weapons—
She still carried the elegant **Autumn River Long Blade**.
Its polished steel reflected sunlight beautifully.
Han Chen needed neither treasures nor weapons.
Her Earth Immortal Tenth Stage Peak cultivation—
Combined with her cultivation techniques—
Was already enough.
Daji merely smiled lazily.
Her fox techniques themselves were treasures.
Han Qing unfolded her treasured painting—
The **Mountains and Rivers Divine Scroll**.
Once opened—
It could manifest landscapes as illusions or prisons.
Bai Yao's emerald **Half Moon Blade** floated behind her.
Dense qi—
Far surpassing ordinary immortal qi—
Continuously flowed around its crescent-shaped edge.
Yue Bingxin quietly carried her ancient **Heavenly Sword Box**.
Within it rested seven treasured swords—
**Snowfall.**
**Cloudbreaker.**
**Spirit Edge.**
**Blue Moon.**
**Heaven Splitter.**
**Silent Lotus.**
And—
**Winter Dawn.**
Each possessed a unique attribute.
Each capable of responding independently to her sword intent.
Only Xue Yao carried nothing.
She calmly stood there.
Her cultivation at the Immortal Venerable Realm—
Was already her greatest weapon.

### Chapter 1763 — Mo Yue
Moments later—
Yang Lin returned.
A sword rested quietly at his waist.
He looked toward everyone's treasures.
Then nodded calmly.
"As expected."
"No surprises."
He lightly touched the sword.
"This..."
"...is Mo Yue."
"My sword."
Silence.
Everyone instinctively looked toward the blade.
An indescribable pressure quietly radiated from it.
Not overwhelming—
Yet impossible to ignore.
Even Xue Yao's pupils contracted.
Inside the sword—
Mo Yue quietly sat within the sword space.
Her white jade-like delicate skin glowed softly.
Her long silver-white hair flowed gently behind her.
She silently crossed her arms.
Her crimson eyes remained cold.
Yet after hearing Yang Lin introduce her—
A nearly invisible smile appeared.
Very faint.
Very satisfied.
Outside—
Everyone remained stunned.
Because—
That sword...
Was anything but ordinary.
Xue Yao finally broke the silence.
"Yang Lin."
"Shall we depart to the Starry Sky Secret Realm now?"
Everyone looked toward him.
Excitement.
Curiosity.
And worry—
All mixed together.
---
### Chapter 1764 — Departure
Yang Lin nodded.
"Alright."
"Let's depart."
Then he smiled.
"And don't worry."
"If something dangerous appears..."
"I'll slash it into pieces."
Everyone's expressions immediately became complicated.
FeiFei somehow felt relieved.
Su Qinglan smiled helplessly.
Liao Yu laughed awkwardly.
Han Qing rubbed her forehead.
Han Chen remained thoughtful.
Bai Yao silently nodded.
Yue Bingxin looked calm.
The two senior brothers smiled bitterly.
Only Xue Yao frowned even more.
She still remembered—
Those Immortal King Realm experts...
Those Universe Kings...
They had vanished from existence with a single casual motion.
Yang Lin saying he would simply "slash it into pieces" no longer sounded like confidence.
It sounded like a statement of fact.

### Chapter 1765 — Arrival
Several minutes later—
Everyone arrived before the entrance of the Starry Sky Secret Realm.
During the journey—
They had flown above countless floating mountains.
Ancient pavilions.
Crystal rivers.
Cloud oceans.
And endless forests.
The scenery below was breathtaking.
Now—
The entrance stood before them.
An enormous starlight vortex rotated silently.
Powerful cultivators had already gathered.
The **Heavenly Cloud Sect** had arrived.
Its Sect Master—
**Qin Wusheng**.
Earth Immortal Tenth Stage Peak.
Accompanied by Elders—
**Elder Mu Yun**, Earth Immortal Eighth Stage Peak.
**Elder Luo Shan**, Earth Immortal Eighth Stage Peak.

**Mu Xing**, Human Immortal Fourth Stage Peak.
**Yan Rui**, Human Immortal Third Stage Peak.
**Qiao Feng**, Human Immortal Second Stage Peak.
**Lan Yu**, Human Immortal Fifth Stage Peak.
Nearby—
The **Nine River Palace** had arrived.
Palace Master—
**Shen Yuhe**, Earth Immortal Tenth Stage Peak.
Elders—
**Meng Zhi**, Earth Immortal Eighth Stage Peak.
**Elder Lan He**, Earth Immortal Seventh Stage Peak.
**Elder Chu Ming**, Earth Immortal Eighth Stage Peak.
Their disciples—

**Mo Jin**, Human Immortal Third Stage Peak.
**Lan Xi**, Human Immortal Fifth Stage Peak.
**Rui Chen**, Human Immortal Second Stage Peak.
The **Golden Peak Sect** soon appeared.

**Feng Zhen**, Earth Immortal Tenth Stage Peak.
Three elders followed.
Along with six Human Immortal geniuses.
Several other powerful forces gathered as well.
Many had already entered.
Others cautiously waited outside.
---
### Chapter 1766 — Yang Lin Arrives
The moment Yang Lin's group appeared—
Conversations stopped.
Every sect leader looked over.
Every elder became alert.
Even the younger geniuses fell silent.
"...Yang Lin."
"So he came too..."
"I heard what happened yesterday..."
"No wonder Heaven Cutter Sect is here..."
Whispers spread everywhere.
Yang Lin ignored every single one.
Instead—
He turned toward his companions.
"Wait."
"Let me use my divine sense."
Instantly—
Xue Yao stepped forward.
"Don't."
"It could be dangerous."
Han Chen immediately nodded.
Ning Mei agreed.
Daji lazily waved a hand.
"They're right."
The two senior brothers also spoke.
"Yang Lin."
"Be careful."
FeiFei folded her arms.
"We should make a plan first."
Su Qinglan added—
"What if we become separated after entering?"
Yang Lin looked toward the secret realm.
His eyes suddenly became cold.
"A mere Starry Sky Secret Realm..."
"...dares?"
Silence.
Then—
He blinked.
"...Oops."
"I mean..."
"...we'll be fine."
"I'm here."
Everyone stared at him.
Speechless.
---
### Chapter 1767 — A Voice From The Sword
A calm voice echoed inside Yang Lin's mind.
"Yang Lin."
It was Mo Yue.
"This place is dangerous."
"I feel something."
Yang Lin quietly replied.
"Oh?"
"What's wrong?"
Mo Yue became silent.
For a long moment.
Then softly answered—
"I don't know."
"But..."
"It feels wrong."
---
### Chapter 1768 — The Divine Sense
Ignoring everyone's objections—
Yang Lin released his divine sense.
It instantly crossed the entrance.
The interior appeared before him.
Countless stars floated across the gloomy sky.
Broken planets drifted silently.
Ancient meteor fragments.
Collapsed continents.
Ruined palaces.
Everything floated endlessly beneath dim starlight.
The place wasn't completely dark.
The stars illuminated everything.
Yet—
An indescribable gloom filled the realm.
Yang Lin smiled.
"Everyone."
"Prepare yourselves."
"You're about to get a surprise."
Instantly—
Xue Yao became angry.
"I told you not to use your divine sense!"
"So did I!"
Han Chen glared.
Ning Mei sighed.
Daji rolled her eyes.
Even Zhao Feng and Gu Tian looked worried.
FeiFei crossed her arms unhappily.
Su Qinglan shook her head.
Everyone stared at Yang Lin.
He looked completely unconcerned.
---
### Chapter 1769 — The Prisoners
Yang Lin's divine sense continued traveling.
Farther.
Farther still.
Approximately several light-years away from the entrance—
He finally discovered life.
A group of young-looking men and women.
All alive.
All imprisoned.
Heavy chains engraved with countless Dao patterns pierced the void itself.
Each prisoner possessed cultivation at the **Immortal Sovereign Second Stage Peak**.
Yet—
They could not move.
At the very center—
Hung a single woman.
She possessed the cultivation of an **Immortal Sovereign Third Stage Peak**.
Even while chained—
Her presence surpassed everyone else.
She wore an elegant black-and-crimson robe trimmed with silver armor.
A white inner garment rose gracefully to her neck.
One shoulder was protected by intricately engraved silver armor.
Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail beneath an ornate golden crown.
Several silver ornaments decorated the sides of her hair.
Her complexion was flawless.
White as jade.
Her calm crimson-brown eyes remained open.
Cold.
Proud.
Completely fearless despite her imprisonment.
At her waist hung an exquisite crimson oni-style mask.
The polished mask possessed two sharp horns.
Golden engraved patterns decorated its forehead and cheeks.
Its fierce expression contrasted sharply with her composed face.
Ancient silver chains suspended it from her belt.
Even imprisoned—
She resembled a queen awaiting judgment.
---
### Chapter 1770 — More Than Expected
Yang Lin immediately withdrew his divine sense.
His expression became thoughtful.
Then—
He smiled.
"Oh..."
"Interesting."
He looked toward everyone.
"The surprises inside..."
"...are much greater than I imagined."
Everyone immediately became nervous.
Xue Yao's eyes narrowed.
Han Chen's expression grew solemn.
Ning Mei gripped her long blade.
FeiFei unconsciously tightened her grip on the Ice Soul Frost Sword.
The two senior brothers became completely serious.
Even Daji slowly sat upright beneath the tree of clouds.
Because judging from Yang Lin's expression—
The Starry Sky Secret Realm was hiding something far beyond anything they had expected.
