Chapter 1305 - 1302: Shackles Advancement Theory

Outside, the crowd originally gathered around the small shop became slack-jawed upon seeing such a beautiful woman walk in.

"Who is she? So beautiful."

"That aura, those looks, that feeling, it's simply the goddess of my dreams."

"And she's wealthy too! She's the quintessential rich, beautiful woman."

Su Yao had never presented herself in public based on her looks, but now things seemed different somehow.

Inside, Su Yao said, "Chu Hao, thank you for saving me last time."

Chu Hao asked curiously, "Why aren't you wearing your veil this time?"

Su Yao smiled softly, her eyes like gentle autumn waters, and said, "I used to feel unsafe, but now I feel secure."

Chu Hao asked, "Why?"

Su Yao replied, "I've unlocked the third shackle."

Chu Hao was dumbfounded and asked, "So, you're now in the King Realm?"

Su Yao shook her head and said, "No, I'm still at the Heavenly Master Realm. Unlocking shackles doesn't necessarily mean reaching the King Realm; the so-called King Realm involves filling the Mysterious Sea with Yang Energy and activating its potential."

Chu Hao truly didn't know. He had taken Emperor Realm courses at the Sacred Land, but the Emperor Realm heroes never taught about the King Realm level.

Su Yao saw Chu Hao's astonishment and said, "You didn't know?"

Chu Hao looked at her without speaking.

Only then did Su Yao realize that Chu Hao wasn't a person from the Shanhai Realm; he had come here alone, without a mentor for guidance.

"The Mysterious Sea is a potential within everyone, but only those in the King Realm can activate it."

"Cultivating the Mysterious Sea with Yang Heaven means using Yang Energy to nurture the Mysterious Sea. The Mysterious Sea is the next realm for Yin-Yang Practitioners, capable of unlocking limitless potential in Yang Energy."

Chu Hao furrowed his brow and said, "I'm also at the Perfect Heavenly Master Level, yet why haven't I discovered any Mysterious Sea?"

Su Yao said, "The Mysterious Sea can only be unlocked at the Mysterious Sect. Almost every Yin-Yang Practitioner aiming to enter the King Realm must visit the Mysterious Sect."

Chu Hao was surprised, saying, "Is the Mysterious Sect even stronger than the Sacred Land? Every Celestial Master Realm Peak must go to the Mysterious Sect."

Su Yao nodded slightly and said, "The Mysterious Sect is the strongest power forming the Shanhai Alliance; naturally, it's formidable."

"But not everyone can go to the Mysterious Sect to unlock the Mysterious Sea; you need a legitimate identity. If you're at the Sacred Land, you could apply to visit the Mysterious Sect."

"However, the Mysterious Sect has clear regulations. Only people from the Shanhai Realm can go to the Mysterious Sect to unlock the Mysterious Sea. Outsiders must undergo scrutiny."

Su Yao said helplessly, "That's why you shouldn't have exposed your identity."

So that's how it is.

No wonder someone said last time that he would never step into the King Realm in his lifetime.

Chu Hao wasn't worried at all, because he had the System. If the System couldn't solve this problem, then it would truly be useless.

Chu Hao said, "No wonder Jiang Haotian hasn't reached the King Realm, yet he unlocked the shackles."

Su Yao nodded and said, "He's at the Perfect Heavenly Master Level. Even unlocking the first shackle is quite a display of talent."

Chu Hao furrowed his brows and said, "Why have you unlocked three shackles and still haven't plan to enter the King Realm?"

Su Yao was a bit helpless; Chu Hao really knew nothing, having come alone to the Shanhai Realm, unfortunate that he exposed his identity.

Su Yao said, "This is the theory of shackle progression. Normally, there are only nine shackles for a King Realm, but some King Realm heroes can unlock more than nine shackles, exploiting potential to the fullest. These Yin-Yang Practitioners are truly terrifying."

"The more shackles are unlocked, the stronger the power. Some King Realm heroes, though at the same level, have different numbers of unlocked shackles. This results in a great disparity in strength."

"To put it this way, a King Realm hero in the Small Vehicle Realm unlocking more than three shackles can definitely match the normal three shackle King Realm hero in the Middle Vehicle Realm."

Su Yao said dreamily, "In Shanhai Realm, there once was someone who, during the King Realm stage, unlocked the strongest set of shackles — a total of eighteen shackles."

"Later, upon entering the Yin Yang Emperor Realm, he directly challenged eighty-percent of the Emperor Realm heroes in Shanhai Realm, ultimately becoming the First Emperor Realm in the World."

Chu Hao was amazed.

Su Yao said, "He is a legendary Yin-Yang Practitioner from Shanhai Realm, the Yang Emperor."

Chu Hao was aware of him, one of the top five powerful Yin-Yang Practitioners in Shanhai Realm's history, referred to by the world as the Yang Emperor. He had previously slain all manner of Evil Demons, Heavenly Ghosts, and Asuras. In front of him, they were nothing but fodder.

Su Yao took out a book and said, "This is the theory of shackle progression, recording various explanations about shackles."

Chu Hao took the book.

As Chu Hao opened the book, he asked, "So you revealed your veil because you've become stronger? What does that have to do with anything?"

Su Yao stuck out her pink tongue; this strikingly beautiful girl looked adorable sticking her tongue out and said, "When I ventured out alone, I pledged not to reveal my veil until reaching the King Realm. With so many criminals around, I'd naturally need to be cautious."

Ah, now I see.

Though Su Yao hasn't reached the King Realm yet, she's almost indistinguishable from one.

Su Yao said, "What about you? The regulations of the Mysterious Sect are very strict; not even the Sacred Land can alter them."

Chu Hao put the book away and said, "I'll worry about it when the time comes."

Su Yao said helplessly, "You shouldn't have exposed your identity, should've waited until reaching the King Realm; unfortunately, now."

Chu Hao smiled.

"Unless you're able to unlock the Mysterious Sea on your own, but that difficulty is no less than entering the Emperor Realm. Over the years, very few have succeeded."

Chu Hao said, "We'll see, one step at a time; who knows, maybe I'll get lucky someday."

Su Yao also smiled and said, "You can do it. I'm going upstairs to rest; I've traveled all day, so tired."

Watching Su Yao go upstairs, Chu Hao felt as if unveiling Su Yao's veil introduced him to a new person.

Chu Hao murmured, "Although unveiling the veil makes her seem a bit unfamiliar, I must admit, she's truly beautiful, truly pale."

In Chu Hao's heart, he realized he was no longer who he used to be; a pretty girl could no longer sway him.

Having such a beautiful woman staying at the shop quickly spread the news, and many people came to the street hoping to catch a glimpse of the beauty.

Some even went further, paying to stay at the shop.

Su Yao came downstairs and said, "Chu Hao, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Alright."

The newly lodged patrons finally saw the beauty they longed for, and witnessing how stunning Su Yao was, felt their stay was well worth it.

Su Yao's beauty on the street drew almost a hundred percent attention, some even secretly following her just to catch sight.

Chu Hao also marveled, realizing Su Yao's looks were even more beautiful than Zi Qingyue's, who ranked third in beauty at the Sacred Land.

Her beauty seemed to come from the heart.

"Who's that beauty? She's so beautiful."

After Su Yao passed by, a group of young gentlemen began chatting excitedly.

"She's stunning, my heart nearly flew away just watching her."

"This woman is unbelievably beautiful, how could such a goddess exist, makes my trip to the Purple Summit Mountain worthwhile."

"Unfortunately, she has company, otherwise I'd ask for her Shanhai account."

"Having company isn't the end, it's not like he's her boyfriend; there's still a chance, go for it."
