Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 255 When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Just as the war in Soul Society was intensifying, Guan Yi was leading the explorers who had been captured and brought to the Soul King Palace on a tour of the palace.

Our first stop was naturally to take them to visit the Wedge Spirit King, who sustained the existence of the Three Realms.

"Creating the Three Realms?!"

"Holy crap, does that mean... this secret realm is a 'creation' level secret realm?!"

"No, that's not right, not yet. A powerful being in a creation-level secret realm wouldn't end up in such a miserable state after creating the world. Besides, He merely divided the existing world into three, not created something from nothing."

"That's terrifying. With such an existence, this secret realm must be the one that's closest to the legendary limit among the legendary realms."

"If we conquer this secret realm, will the runes that Guan Qiu Wang obtains have black borders?!"

The explorers chatted, gradually casting admiring and envious glances at Guan Yi. In the special training program for the younger generation of elites, they acquired knowledge that was rarely circulated outside the community and that ordinary people could never obtain in their lifetime.

This includes the final two levels above the five levels of secret realms: White (Easy), Blue (Normal), Purple (Hard), Red (Purgatory), and Gold (Legendary): Black (Genesis) and Seven-Colored Infinity.

Among them, the 'Genesis-level', as the name suggests, refers to beings in the secret realm who possess the power to independently create a world, and are slightly above the Spirit King.

To fully conquer such a secret realm generally requires an exploration that takes hundreds of years and costs the lives of tens of thousands of martial artists with secret runes.

The secret realm, once fully conquered, yields black secret runes, which are dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than gold secret runes. Even martial artists like the Great King, who possess six or more runes, have only ever obtained black secret runes.

As for the even higher level of the Seven-Colored Infinity, it truly is 'infinite'. Within this secret realm, there may be gods and Buddhas who can be born or die in an instant. Explorers will be 'discovered and killed' shortly after entering, making it impossible to successfully conquer it.

"Black trim with gold accents? I hope so."

"Godfather, please take me with you!" A true man can bend and stretch, Xie Chen immediately cupped his hands in supplication.

"Yeah, please take me with you!" The classmates, who had studied together for five years, didn't mince words and directly expressed their desire to be carried.

Guan Yi laughed and said, "So you thought I was taking you on a tour of the Secret Realm Museum?"
The Zero Division that captured you and brought you to the Spirit King Palace has a total of five Zero Division Detached Halls. I have already removed the barriers and traps in the Detached Halls. Now, all that remains in the Detached Halls are treasures.

Let's draw lots now, it's fair and just. Whichever palace you draw will take you to search for treasure, and whether you obtain a white or blue secret rune depends entirely on your luck. How about that?

"hiss--"

"If you say that, then I really will have to call you 'father,' Guan Qiuwang!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Next, under Guan Yi's supervision, the explorers drew lots and were then sent by Guan Yi to the five Zero Division Departure Halls.

Only Guo Yan remained by his side. She smiled and asked, "Is this your compensation to everyone for the danger you encountered while exploring the secret realm?"

"That's it."

Guan Yi reached out and grabbed a Zanpakuto from thin air: "Of course you'll get one. This Zanpakuto seals an ancient Hollow and possesses immense power. I'll help you master it, and you should at least get a blue rune in return."

"Another blue rune?"

Guo Yan couldn't help but sigh, "When you conquer the next secret realm, my father might even try to get me to come and be your assistant, to do whatever you say. I can't let someone else have such a good opportunity." "We'll talk about it later. After this secret realm, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll need a long time to digest the power of the secret runes, so I won't be going into any more secret realms."

"Yes, that's how it should be..."

As Guo Yan spoke, he took the Zanpakuto that Guan Yi had captured from his hand. At the same instant, he felt a violent force surge into his body through his palm. The dark purple mist surrounding the blade burst forth, and his internal organs were violently impacted!

Over the past year, Guan Yi had taught Guo Yan some Quincy techniques to help him earn money more efficiently. Therefore, Guo Yan wasn't a complete beginner, but compared to the power of this Zanpakuto, his skills were still far from sufficient.

The Zanpakuto, also known as the Jasmine, was a Vasto Lorde who ruled Hueco Mundo in ancient times alongside Barragan. It defeated the young Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and ascended to the Soul King Palace, where it was personally sealed into this Zanpakuto by Hyosube Ichibei.

The power of this sword alone far exceeds that of an ordinary captain-level officer; how could Guo Yan possibly control it? But there is an ulterior motive.

When Guan Yi's Six Treasures Immortal Thief spiritual energy gently touched the blade, the Yiji Siji Ba, which only knew how to devour and evolve, immediately felt as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and was terrified from the depths of its soul, and shrank back.

So little by little, minute by minute, Guan Yi spent half an hour finally getting the weak Guo Yan to complete the contract with this Zanpakuto, giving Guo Yan near-captain-level combat power!
When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Looking at the students in the special training class who entered the five separate halls, they were like mice entering a granary.

Those who went to the Hikifune Kiryu Wakun Palace were feasting on food rich in spiritual energy, while those who went to the Nimaiya Oetsu Phoenix Palace wished they could hang a knife on their ears.

Everyone knows that this is a rare opportunity. A newbie account entering the highest-level map might get them an extra item, and the experience points could level them up several times. If they miss it, they'll be struck by lightning!

"Alright, that's about enough."

Once everyone was no longer able to collect any more loot, Guan Yi's voice echoed in their ears, "I'll send you all to the real world first, to Ye Huohuo's side, and we'll wait together for the end of this secret realm."

shhhhh--

One spatial portal after another appeared, teleporting the explorers away from the Spirit King Palace.

“Then next, it’s time to wipe out Aizen!” Guan Yi murmured, but then suddenly paused.

"Ok?"

He paused for a second, then frowned in surprise: "The Mirror Flower Water Moon is indeed a bug. It can even slightly affect me now. Was it a trick left behind when it lent me its power?"

Just as she decided to 'deal with Aizen,' Guan Yi realized that she had been affected by the power of Kyoka Suigetsu for a period of time.

This influence is very weak; it merely adds a bit of 'insensitivity' to Guan Yi's five senses.

Its general function is to make Guan Yi think of Aizen later when she is in the Spirit King Palace, or rather, Guan Yi will only think about Aizen more after everything is settled.

Because this influence was so subtle and went with the flow, and because Guan Yi wanted all his fellow explorers to gain something before the end of the secret realm, even Guan Yi subconsciously ignored it.

Is this a means to buy time? Guan Yi waved his hand, tearing open passages to the Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo, then closed his eyes to sense for a moment.

When I opened my eyes, a sharp glint flashed by!
