Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Class Change: Pastor of the Sea, Inside the Secret Realm?
On the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
Inside the captain’s quarters.
Su Ye, dressed in a black robe, sat cross-legged. He summoned a light-blue virtual panel and opened the class-change page.
He focused his Divine Sense, browsed the information on the panel, and then confird the class change.
"Change class: Pastor of the Sea!"
BZZZT!
The next mont, the Sea Successor Remains—which had seed so incredibly durable that nothing could destroy them—suddenly began to tremble, humming incessantly!
Before Su Ye’s astonished eyes, the Sea Successor Remains began to slowly lt and break down.
’The power of the panel is truly extraordinary...’ Su Ye thought.
A few breaths later, the Sea Successor Remains dissolved, transforming into a pool of dark, viscous matter.
Then, purified particles—the purest and most profound shade of ethereal blue—floated up, touching Su Ye’s skin and rging into his body without any resistance.
’What is this...?’
Su Ye raised an eyebrow in surprise but did not try to stop it.
Soon, thousands of ethereal blue particles flowed with his blood, converging in his heart!
Su Ye’s eyes flickered as he looked inward with his Divine Sense.
He saw that under the influence of the ethereal blue particles, his heart was transforming, reshaping itself!
[Heart of the Vast Sea]
Greatly increases affinity with the ocean. Use one’s own heart to comprehend the Vast Sea!
As the [Heart of the Vast Sea] gradually took form, Su Ye’s consciousness also projected outward.
It sank continuously into the deep, boundless ocean, feeling its rhythm!
A sudden realization dawned on Su Ye.
’This change in my consciousness... *this* is the true [Heart of the Vast Sea]...’
’The physical transformation of my heart is just a dium!’
Imrsed in the transformation of the [Heart of the Vast Sea], Su Ye experienced the vast ocean, perceiving the endlessness of the Vast Sea!
Then, suddenly, his consciousness seed to feel a pull.
BZZZ.
Countless fleeting images flashed before his eyes.
Inside Weiyuan Immortal City, in a bustling museum, a single, earth-yellow divine stone was treasured deep within a restrictive Array.
’The Key of Earth...’ The na surfaced in Su Ye’s mind.
And then, the scene before his eyes changed again.
It crossed over ten thousand nautical miles to arrive at an island!
’This place is...?’
Su Ye’s eyes lit up slightly.
He had seen this island before!
To be precise, he had seen it in the mories of the Shu Family cultivator he had used Soul Search on!
This was the very place he had planned to investigate not long ago: the native island!
The scene changed.
Deep within the island, in a native tribe nestled in the dense jungle, a native man with a valiant and imposing aura was toying with two divine stones, one azure and one ethereal blue.
’The Key of Heaven and the Key of the Sea?’ Su Ye murmured.
’And a Third-Order native? As expected... the Source of the Anomaly is a Third-Order existence.’
’But what does seeing these three keys have to do with my class change to Pastor of the Sea?’
Su Ye pondered, slightly confused.
Then, the scene before his eyes changed rapidly, arriving at a dark and profound underwater canyon!
The next mont, Su Ye felt his consciousness pass through so kind of thick barrier!
BZZZT!
He saw... that endless, boundless...
...profound sight that could not be described, could not be understood!
"This...?!"
At the sa ti, a voice that seed to co from ti immorial—ethereal and serene—rang in his ears.
It was not a human language, nor the language of the natives; it was complex and difficult to pronounce.
But for so reason, at this very mont, Su Ye completely understood the aning of the words.
"Oh, young one..."
As the voice sounded, so kind of influence seed to cross the barrier of ti and space to reach him!
...
WHOOSH!
In an instant, the sky changed. The wind howled and dark clouds gathered!
The sea around the Ghostly Flood Dragon was plunged into a storm that seed to appear out of nowhere!
DRIP.
DRIP.
Inside the captain’s quarters, Su Ye, with his eyes shut and his mind imrsed, did not notice.
All around the room, on the walls and the floor, countless water stains began to form. They coalesced and flowed together into little streams, slithering toward Su Ye like water snakes!
Just then!
BZZZT!
Inside Su Ye’s sea of consciousness, the light-blue panel appeared, erupting in brilliant light!
The streams of water in the room instantly froze, losing their vitality...
The storm at sea dissipated and vanished...
Instead, so of the mysterious influence was absorbed and converted by the panel!
Words appeared.

[Exclusive Skills: Whale-Hunting Spear, Heart of the Vast Sea, Monarch of Calamity]
SHOO!
Class change successful!
"Hah..." Su Ye opened his eyes.
"I think... I just saw sothing..."
His chest heaved as he gasped for breath, his eyes filled with astonishnt.
After his class change was successful and his consciousness returned to his body, the incredibly clear images in his mind rapidly blurred and distorted.
It was just like waking from a dream—the harder he tried to hold onto the mory, the faster it slipped away!
Of the secret realm he had just witnessed, all that remained in Su Ye’s mind was an endless, profound, ethereal blue!
In contrast, the images he saw before entering the secret realm were relatively clear.
"The Key of Heaven, the Key of Earth, the Key of the Sea..."
"The Third-Order being on the native island, with the Key of Heaven and Key of the Sea in his hands..."
"And the Key of Earth, treasured inside the museum in Weiyuan Immortal City..."
Su Ye closed his eyes. Could it be that he could faintly sense the locations of the three keys?
"Gather the three keys, and I can open the secret realm and re-enter that place..." Su Ye muttered to himself.
An inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.
—He had to collect all three keys and enter the secret realm!
"Turn the Ghostly Flood Dragon around! We’re heading to Weiyuan Immortal City to buy the Key of Earth..."
"Wait...?!"
Su Ye suddenly frowned, realizing sothing was wrong.
At the sa ti, his gaze swept across the captain’s quarters, and his brow furrowed even deeper.
He saw that the once bright, clean, dry, and comfortable captain’s quarters had beco incredibly damp.
Without him noticing, large patches of water stains and damp, decaying marks had appeared on the walls.
There was even a puddle of water on the floor.
"What happened...?"
Su Ye’s expression darkened. He activated the ’Cleaning Skill’ to get rid of the water in the room.
Imdiately after, he circulated a Secret Technique from the Six Desires Secret Scripture designed to calm the soul and eliminate external influences.
「Several hours later.」
Su Ye opened his eyes. The palpitation in his heart—the urge to collect the three keys and return to the secret realm—had vanished completely!
"Hah... that was sinister..."
A look of fear appeared in Su Ye’s eyes.
He could faintly sense that at the final mont of his class change, the panel had appeared and shielded him from the vast majority of the influence.
But still, it had managed to slightly affect his mind!
"Forget the secret realm! I’m definitely not going!"
Su Ye made his decision, his heart still pounding with lingering fear.
True, he had a gut feeling that entering the secret realm would bring imnse benefits.
But...
"Even if I could reach the Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation realm, if my mind and consciousness were drastically changed, wouldn’t that be the sa as being dead?"
"Absolutely not going!"
"However, being able to sense the three keys... that seems to have so benefits?" Su Ye mused.
’The Key of Heaven and the Key of the Sea seem to be kept on the person of that Third-Order native at all tis?’
In other words—Su Ye could sense the whereabouts of the Third-Order native?
"In that case, my own safety has increased significantly."
