As Lin Ye stepped in, the entire passage began to flicker with three colors of light.
White representing wind, yellow representing earth, and blue representing water.
Lin Ye nodded slightly, it wasn't hard to understand why Sikong Ming wanted people to go to great lengths to first defeat the three Elemental Bosses.
The light spots appearing in this passage explained everything.
Clearly, the existence of this passage is related to the three Elemental Creature Bosses.
Given this, it's easy to conclude that defeating these three bosses was necessary first.
It's just a pity that Sikong Ming had tried many times, but couldn't succeed, and finally had to give up on the hidden task strategy of this Secret Realm.
After all, he couldn't possibly not level up just for a Level 35 Secret Realm.
This is undoubtedly a losing trade, especially for a genius like him.
To spend a whole month on this matter, repeatedly trying, was already a delay in important matters for him.
If he kept wasting time on this, he wouldn't be willing, and even his mentors at the time might have advised against it.
After all, for a genius Professional like Sikong Ming, leveling up is the most important, everything else is secondary.
"Roar!"
Lin Ye faintly heard a dragon's roar coming from the passage.
This passage leads to an altar, where three Elemental Cores dropped by the bosses need to be placed. What happens next is unknown.
Perhaps someone once followed Sikong Ming's notes, collected three cores within three hours, and came here.
But ultimately, they still couldn't complete the final task.
Possibly, these people ended up dying within this Secret Realm.
If not, even though no one has ever completed this hidden task, there shouldn't be no record of someone killing three bosses continuously within three hours for a hundred years.
Lin Ye proceeded through the passage and finally reached its end, where he saw an altar.
This altar doesn't know how long it's existed here, but it's still very intact. On the altar, there are three columns over two meters high.
They emit white, yellow, and blue light in order, clearly matching the colors of the three Elemental Cores Lin Ye holds.
The next operation is not hard to imagine.
Just placing the corresponding color of Elemental Core in the groove of the pillars will probably activate this altar.
And this was Sikong Ming's guessed method to unlock the Secret Realm's hidden task. The actual outcome, as well as what consequences may follow, are hard to say...
But judging from how the Alliance hasn't sent anyone to execute the hidden task of this Secret Realm in recent years, nor has it publicly shared information about this part, it seems the higher-ups of the Alliance deemed Sikong Ming's method unreliable.
After all, when Sikong Ming came up with this method, he was nothing more than a half-grown young man not much older than Lin Ye.
In terms of experience, he certainly couldn't compare with his later self.
So after multiple failed attempts, with significant loss of life, the decision was ultimately made to give up continuing to attempt to complete this hidden task.
If Lin Ye hadn't found Sikong Ming's notes and learned about this strategy, Lin Ye probably wouldn't have known about these things.
However, since he's here now, he can't back down.
Following the color of each stone pillar, Lin Ye placed three cores in their respective grooves.
When the third Elemental Core was placed into the groove, Lin Ye felt the whole altar begin to tremble.
[The sealed Ancient Dragon body is about to break through the seal, please leave the altar immediately!]
Lin Ye saw this prompt and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Is it asking to parkour now?
The path here was indeed hard to walk, Lin Ye was puzzled, wondering why make such an abstract path.
Now it seems, you're expected to parkour out of here!
"Boring..."
Lin Ye shook his head and directly stepped out to perform Space Movement, leaving the altar.
If it were someone else, they would have to obediently trace their way back and run all the way out?
Lin Ye now stood in the air, overlooking everything below.
The entire forest was shaking, as if some colossal creature underground was about to break through the earth.
And amidst the roaring sound, Lin Ye heard a loud dragon's roar coming from afar, approaching gradually.
Lin Ye looked towards the direction of the sound and saw a gigantic semi-transparent Giant Dragon flying this way.
"Ancient Dragon Spirit..."
Lin Ye slightly raised his brows, this semi-transparent Dragon Soul was evidently the clearance Boss of this Secret Realm.
It appeared here now.
Lin Ye didn't attack. If he killed the Dragon Soul now, it would probably be impossible to trigger the hidden task.
Because he probably guessed the content of this hidden task, it definitely wasn't just about killing the Dragon Soul.
[The ancient Tri-Colored Giant Dragon is awakening, please evacuate...]
At this moment, Lin Ye saw a prompt.
It asked if he wanted to settle now and then leave the Secret Realm.
"So considerate?"
Lin Ye laughed, typically for Abyss Level Secret Realms, you can only freely choose to leave after achieving one of two conditions.
One is killing the clearance Boss, the other is eliminating at least 80% of the demons in the Secret Realm. Once either condition is met, you can settle anytime to leave. However, leaving like this doesn't count as completing the task, which slightly diminishes the rewards.
But now, Lin Ye saw the option to leave without meeting any conditions, which was quite a first-time encounter for him.
However, Lin Ye naturally couldn't choose to leave just like that; this level of intimidation was clearly not enough to scare him.
He directly chose to refuse to exit.
At this moment, the ground completely fractured open, and a gigantic silhouette emerged. A huge dragon head lifted, slowly opening its eyes in three different colors.
This bizarre Giant Dragon had six eyes, six wings!
Its massive body far exceeded any giant beast Lin Ye had seen before.
Lin Ye felt that he wasn't even as tall as one of its teeth...
Clearly, this was the real Ancient Dragon Spirit, and Lin Ye had activated the altar, releasing its sealed form.
Next, this terrifying beast was Lin Ye's final challenge.
"This is too exaggerating."
Lin Ye's mouth twitched.
Clearly, Sikong Ming's strategy to unlock this Secret Realm's hidden task was correct.
But the Alliance's decision not to disclose Sikong Ming's idea was also correct.
If it were revealed...
The mortality rate of human geniuses might see a major rise, wouldn't it?
