    “Sword of the Dead (Rare)”


    “Description: Once the sword of a great knight,id to rest in the Valley of Sigh,ter transformed by the invasion of undead energy.”


    “Effect: Contains sharpness and toughness attributes, and can enhance the destructive power of undead energy.”


    The entire sword leans towards a dark silvery color, with ayer of glossy ck attached to it. Even though it has just been picked up, there are tendrils of undead energy diffusing around it, making the surrounding environment seem somewhat dimmer.


    As a rare weapon, the Sword of the Dead excels in both appearance and practicality, far surpassing the Shaman Staff.


    The Shaman Staff is at the bottom rung of rare weapons, probably because it came with the Fireball Technique, which is why it was ssified as rare.


    However, the Fireball Technique isn’t very useful, capable of dealing with only the weakest enemies. It can’t kill any formidable opponent.


    “The Dead Bone doesn’tck offensive skills, and the boosting effect of this giant sword fits perfectly. Moreover, the weapon of treasure level could carry more energy output of the Dead Bone, allowing it to fully unleash its power.” Even if the Dead Bone evolves into a superior troop in the future, this Sword of the Dead can still be used for a long period.


    Because the weapons and equipment corresponding to the superior troops are still standard equipment without any effects, only possibly more durable than warrior level or warlord level equipment.


    The Dead Bone takes the giant sword, and as it swings, thick ck smoke wraps around the de, constantly swirling.


    Mu Yuan then picks up the blueprint of the cksmith’s shop.


    “cksmith’s shop (Rare)”


    “Description: A production-type building with the ability to process ore, repair equipment, manufacture and process equipment. It requires a unit with wisdom to settle in. If the settler isn’t a forging talent, then the cksmith can only produce a few simple weapons and equipment.”


    “Requirements: Basic materials o/unknown; Soul Crystal 0/3; ck Ironstone 0/50; Transformation Crystal 0/1.”


    The cksmith shop is undoubtedly essential, an indispensable building in any territory.


    The weapons and equipment he ordered before were produced from buildings like the cksmith’s shop in other territories.


    Most importantly, the main material ‘Transformation Crystal’ required by the cksmith’s shop is one of the three rare materials he harvested a few days ago.


    He has what it takes to set it up today.


    “With the cksmith’s shop, the shabby armors on the Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Soldiers don’t have to be discarded. They can be picked up, patched up, and used again, which can save me a lot of expenses.”


    “Moreover, even if there’s ack of forging talents, the cksmith’s shop can still produce spears, arrows, and even make the standard Bone Spears sharper.” As for the requirement for a wisdom unit to settle in? It might be difficult for other neer lords, but it’s easy for him.


    Mu Yuan is quite satisfied with this blueprint of the cksmith’s shop. In the future, this building could bring him a constant source of ie.


    In light of this, he no longer regrets the poverty of the Goblin Camp; he has already forgiven it.


    While the blueprint for the cksmith’s shop is good, the Secret Realm’s Gate not far away is more worthy of anticipation.


    Mu Yuan switched back to the forum to take a look. There wasn’t much more information about the Secret Realm since only a few neers have entered the Secret Realm at this time, and even fewer have shared their experiences.


    On the other hand, the discussion titled ‘The Strongest Neer of This Session’ on the forum is getting more heated. Some people collected information from all sides and ranked the ‘Top Ten New Kings’, along with their specific ranks and achievements.


    After scanning it, Mu Yuan let out a surprised sigh simr to that of a bystander, “Wow, that’s amazing-”


    He didn’t linger but switched back to the game and arrived in front of the gate of the Secret Realm.


    Two square, ancient stone pirs stand on the ground. They are only several meters high, but they appear like pirs supporting the sky, guarding the Door of Time and Space in the middle, which slowly rotated like a starry vortex.


    “Secret Realm’s Gate (Special)”


    “Remaining existence time: 6dlih”


    “Tip: Only newbie lords can enter.”


    An hourss-like phantasm hangs high above the Secret Realm’s Gate, with time dwindling slowly.


    Recalling the various information about the Secret Realm that he’d found on the forum, Mu Yuan left a few troops behind for defense, and then, alongside his generals like Dead Bone and Duo Lai, he stepped into the massive Time-Space Vortex.


    Dizziness. Trembling.


    When Mu Yuan opened his eyes, he was met with a vast starry sky and a vast tform. The pure white of the tform stretched out into the distance, devoid of any speck of dust.


    He could feel the solid ground beneath him, the light breeze gently brushing against his cheek.


    Looking down, he saw his ck light armor, covered in scratches, and his hands, gloved and stained with some blood.


    He clenched his fist. It responded smoothly – excellent.


    Of course, he hadn’t physically entered the Secret Realm. This was a projection, and he was still sitting in front of hisputer, looking at his character in the game.


    He looked up, making eye contact with himself.


    Oh my!


    “Despite having read about it and being somewhat prepared, experiencing Consciousness Descend for the first time still feels unimaginable.”


    Although their outfits differed, his game character looked exactly like him in reality, if a bit muddied by the residue of the previous battle. The grass and blood stains on his armor could not obscure his imposing figure and innate talent as Lord Shepherd.


    This was because the avatar was a projection of him in reality. Any growth in reality would strengthen the projection, but not vice versa.


    This was why truly advanced yers would choose to immerse themselves in the Eternal World – it was the only way to seize potentially game-changing opportunities.


    But for Mu Yuan, he was only consciously entering the game.


    Looking around, he saw no signs of Dead Bone or Duo Lai. However, Mu Yuan remained calm. A hint that he received when stepping into this realm hinted that only Lords and heroes were allowed to stand in the waiting area. All other troops would be on hold in a temporary Mark Space, only to be called forth by the Lord when the challenge began.


    As for the rest…


    “Boom—”


    In the distance, at the challenger tform in the center of the Secret Realm, a figure was thrown forcefully, smashing into the high wall formed by the light curtain, leaving behind a mere lump of human-like mud.


    This was a Lord, and his soldiers had already suffered near-total casualties.


    Mu Yuan:”???” He just came in and it’s already this explosive?


    But in the next moment, a divine light showered down, resetting the Mages, Griffins, Giants, and other soldiers as if turning back time. Even the New King yer who’d just been brutally bludgeoned showed no traces of blood or wounds, and stood up straight again.


    He was kicked right off the tform with a “biu” sound.


    Challenge ended.


    The huge challenge field, shrouded in the light curtain, disappeared as it transformed into countless light spots.


    ‘Challengers can initiate a challenge just by chanting. Each person has three chances to challenge. If the Lord dies in battle, it is a failure.’


    Mu Yuan received this hint from an unknown source.


    He didn’t immediately initiate a challenge.


    He had just entered this Secret Realm and was experiencing Consciousness Descend for the first time. There was still much he needed to understand.


    Besides,


    Mu Yuan looked a few hundred meters away. Apart from the yer who had just been defeated, there was a third yer in the Secret Realm.


    She wore a moon-white robe, her face hidden by the hood she had pulled up.


    From her graceful figure alone, Mu Yuan could tell that she was a female yer.


    After a moment’s thought, he raised the built-in mask of his helmet a bit higher.


    In the distance, the female yer seems to have started chanting.


    The next moment, power rules showered down, countless lights and shadows interweaved and created a wide battlefield, she disappeared, and the next moment reappeared inside the battlefield..
