The Fragment in Hand, Departing for Central Province

This time, Chu Xuanyuan tricked them because their own strength was not strong enough.

If the Supreme Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation were still usable, he wouldn't have had the chance to be so arrogant.

So.

The search for the Immortal Source Crystal must be put on the agenda.

This way, we'll have an extra killing move and a trump card!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed option two."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a rare reward [One Fragment of the Heaven-Slaying Sword]!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the epic reward [Demon God's Eye]!"

[Demon God's Eye: The Demon God's left eye, a supreme symbol, containing profound power, capable of communicating with demons and spirit beasts.]

Rewards have been distributed.

Chen Ning muttered to himself, "It can be considered a success; at least the fragments of the Heaven-Slaying Sword have been collected."

However, they hadn't even had a chance to try piecing together the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Then a graceful figure appeared in the distance.

The newcomer was none other than Su Ling'er.

Upon seeing Chen Ning, the little girl excitedly rushed into his arms and said sweetly, "Sect Leader Brother, where have you been these past few days? We've been searching frantically! We've searched every inch of Five Grains City, within a thousand miles, but we still can't find you. Ling'er was almost scared to death!"

With the soft jade in his arms, Chen Ning affectionately ruffled the little girl's hair.

I was just about to offer a few words of comfort.

The next moment.

But then his expression suddenly changed.

"Ling'er, how long have you been looking for me?"

"Hmm... it's been seven days already."

"Seven days..."

Chen Ning couldn't help but frown.

He had only been tracking Chu Xuanyuan from Five Grains City for a few breaths.

Even though we wasted some time arguing with him, and were trapped inside that barrier, it had only been less than half a day.

But the little girl said she had been searching for seven days.

Could it be...?

Inside that eerie secret chamber, time flows at a different rate than outside.

Or has Chu Xuanyuan already managed to influence time?

Regardless of which speculation it is.

All of this confirms one thing.

That is, this leader at Three Quarters Past Noon is quite extraordinary.

At that time.

On the shore of a lake thousands of miles away.

Chu Xuanyuan stood silently, completely still.

Just now, he felt the barrier he had set up break.

So fast.

The Sect Leader Chen he valued had not entered the Gate of Death.

Instead, it pushed open the door to life.

"What a pleasant surprise..."

Chu Xuanyuan was about to marvel at Chen Ning's courage and luck.

The next moment.

But his expression changed drastically.

Simply because he probed the memories of those two undead puppets.

I witnessed the entire process of Chen Ning breaking the deadlock.

Not only was it cracked.

It was surprisingly cracked in such a short time.

This was what shocked him the most.

Here, Chu Xuanyuan noticed a detail.

That was Chen Ning asking the question so casually after he left.

A breakthrough achieved in one fell swoop.

This undoubtedly means that Chen Ning knew the way to break the deadlock from the very beginning.

The reason it wasn't cracked at the very beginning.

That is, waiting for him to leave.

"Very good... Sect Leader Chen, I'm truly growing to admire you more and more..."

Chu Xuanyuan smiled again.

But it wasn't warm.

Instead, it sends chills down your spine.

He was always the one making fun of others.

First.

Someone played a trick on him!

This is a challenge to him!

"What about the Grand Elders and the others?"

Five Grains City, Chen Ning casually asked about the events of the past few days.

This confirms that seven days have indeed passed.

"The Grand Elder has led everyone back to the mountain gate for the time being, but has arranged for Ling'er and Hall Master Xiao of the Law Enforcement Hall to continue searching for your whereabouts, Sect Leader."

After Su Ling'er finished speaking.

Chen Ning then realized something else.

That was the invitation from the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor, and it arrived today.

Time is really tight.

Chen Ning calculated the time.

It's still possible to make it using the teleportation array.

"Ling'er, let's go to Central Province now."

Chen Ning smiled faintly.

Swish!

The storage ring flashed.

The Top-Grade Spirit Artifact seized from the True Martial Saint Sect can finally come in handy.

The treasured artifact of the True Martial Saint Sect— the Space Scepter.

It allows you to activate a teleportation array at any location.

Alternatively, you can choose to be teleported to any teleportation array in the Nine Provinces.

The Venerable Insect had previously used this Top-Grade Spirit Artifact to drive the insect swarms of Spirit Province to spread wildly.

At this time.

It can also be used to quickly travel to Central Province.

Inside a massive teleportation array.

The power of the Space Principle surged and fluctuated.

Chen Ning and the little girl stepped out from there.

This moment.

Finally, I truly set foot on that most magnificent land of Central Province.

Central Province is the only blessed land among the Nine Provinces.

Of course, after Chen Ning's divine words, Spirit Province also became a blessed land.

It just needs some more time to settle.

Perhaps it can become the next sacred land of Central Province.

The Central Province is the most suitable place for cultivators to practice.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth is abundant.

The land is vast and abundant.

The Central Province are so vast that they are almost equivalent to three Spirit Province.

The teleportation array they chose was the closest to the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor.

And countless teleportation arrays of this scale are scattered across the Central Province Plains.

This is enough to demonstrate the prosperity of the cultivation world in the Central Province.

Such a blessed place should attract people from other states who would do anything to set foot here, but it's not an easy thing to do.

The landscape of Central Province.

It had long been divided up by several super-powerful giants.

Ordinary cultivators, without protection or backing, also find it extremely difficult to survive.

The Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor is located in the Heaven-Gazing Ancient Capital.

The area centered on Heaven-Gazing Ancient Capital is the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor.

When Chen Ning and his companion arrived outside the city...

It was already dark.

The Heaven-Gazing Ancient Capital is very majestic. The city wall is like a dragon lying horizontally, which is exceptionally magnificent. It looks like it was cast in copper and has a metallic color. From a distance, the ancient city brings a sense of ancient and heavy oppression.

"Sect Leader, Zhongzhou, the most powerful Central Province in the Nine Provinces, is indeed extraordinary!"

The little girl let out a sigh.

Along the way.

Su Ling'er was amazed; many Spirit Plant that were rare in Spirit Province were easier to find in Central Province.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth was exceptionally rich and pure.

No wonder the Central Province has the most powerful experts.

Such an environment is more likely to foster strong individuals.

Chen Ning nodded as well.

Central Province was indeed very prosperous.

The city is filled with palaces and its ancient streets are wide.

Spiritual practitioners and ordinary people coexist.

However, there are also rules to govern this.

Not far from there, another palace garden appeared, with magnificent buildings and an elegant atmosphere.

It appears to be the residence of a powerful figure.

"Sect Leader, the buildings here are even more magnificent than those in the Great Yan Imperial Capital." The little girl even had the idea of sneaking inside to explore.

Chen Ning also laughed and said, "Great Yan Imperial Capital can't compare to the prosperity of this place."

Only now did Chen Ning finally understand why the second-generation sect leader had said that they could only set foot in Central Province when their strength was sufficient.

What I saw along the way.

It is indeed vastly different from the other eight states.

The Heaven-Gazing Ancient Capital is just the tip of the iceberg in the Central Province Plains.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor is only ranked tenth.

The slice of cake he gets is also very limited.

Finally.

The two arrived before a magnificent mansion.

This place is the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor.
