Exploring the Secret I

"Do you see that? That's your hometown, the place where you used to live," Taki slowly stretched his neck, leaned closer to Zhang Rongfang, and whispered.

"Look. What a beautiful, dazzling, and An Ning world. People live peacefully according to the established order, living in tall and spacious houses, living and working in peace and contentment. They don't have to worry about the Heavenly Light or the toxic smoke."

"How do I open it?!" Zhang Rongfang slowly turned his head and asked, enunciating each word clearly.

"The Three Great Secret Locks are a series of blockades created by those damned Spirit Eye Clan who spent all their Heart Force and lives to create them. Over the years, we have investigated and searched everywhere, sending out countless evil spirits, and now we have some clues," Taki said with a smile.

"What do you need me to do? How can I cooperate?" Zhang Rongfang didn't hesitate. He was certain that the scene was the place where he used to live, the city where he had lived.

If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have let it go. But now that I have, the thought that I had resigned myself to my fate deep in my heart has been rekindled.

He wants to go back and see!

Go back and see your real parents, your real brothers and sisters! Your former friends, your former classmates, and all the traces you left behind.

Seemingly sensing his mood, Taki waved his hand, signaling Latiye Lan to put away the electric light screen.

"We have located the first key, but there are some rather troublesome obstacles there."

"Obstacles?"

"Hmm, it's the creation that the Spirit Eye Clan excels at, a powerful force called the Keeper of Secret Keeper." Taki gestured to Aufika below.

"Even with your strength, the Secret Keeper can't solve this?" Zhang Rongfang said in a deep voice.

"If we can get in touch with them, we can certainly solve the problem."

Aufika stepped forward and answered seriously.

"But the Spirit Eye Clan is extremely adept at creating labyrinthine traps in the realm of consciousness and spirit, which Non-Self forte."

The Instant Tower excels at the strongest physical body and the most powerful reality. As for consciousness, that's the pinnacle of the Spirit Eye Clan.

"I'm not good at the realm of consciousness and spirit either," Zhang Rongfang frowned.

"Great Abyss was created by the Spirit Eye Clan. If I go in, I will be trapped in the Sea of Forgetfulness Core forever, but you are different. You can move freely."

Taki whispered from the side.

"The Spirit Eye Clan is targeting us too much, creating too many obstacles and restrictions for us. Therefore, we need their help."

"Interesting." Zhang Rongfang recalled his experience in Great Abyss. Those Spirit Eye Clan were indeed the source of the various Interaction Zone and the Gods and Buddhas system.

If we follow the words of the old man who manages the Interaction Zone, even the Instant Tower was designed by them to create the strongest physical body, combine with the strongest god, and escape the highest crystallization of the White Pupil.

But judging from the current situation, Taki doesn't seem to be as simple as just having the strongest physical body. "Alright, to show our sincerity, come with me and see how powerful my Instant Tower is?" Taki suggested with a smile.

This statement can actually be understood in reverse: since they want to demonstrate their strength, then Zhang Rongfang also needs to demonstrate his strength.

This is the mutual aspect; while it is said to be showcasing the power of the Instant Tower, it is also a subtle reminder that such a display is two-way.

Zhang Rongfang understood instantly, glancing only at Taki and Aufika below. The burning Blood Flame in his eyes flickered slightly.

"Of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge crack automatically appeared in the tower wall behind him.

Inside the opening was a faint gray light.

Taki turned around and walked into the gray light entrance first.

"Please come in." His voice drifted out from inside.

Zhang Rongfang followed behind and also entered the gray light entrance.

A flash of gray appeared before my eyes, and the environment changed instantly.

The surrounding area transforms from the tower itself into a tall, spacious, straight passageway.

The passageway was black and made of metal. Zhang Rongfang stood in the middle of the passageway, with Taki in front of him.

"This is Barracks," Taki said, turning around to explain.

He spread his arms out, pointing to both sides.

The walls on both sides of the passageway suddenly became transparent.

Through the transparent wall, you can see a deep red earth outside filled with flowing lava.

Black smoke billowed from the ground, forming columns that shot straight into the sky.

On the ground between the lava flows, strange and unusual monsters are slowly moving and resting.

These monsters resembled giant rhinoceroses, standing five meters tall, with honeycomb-like tubes on their backs resembling cannon barrels. Thick black smoke constantly billowed from their bodies.

That was the signature evil aura of an evil spirit.

"These are our Evil Spirit Cannon. Each one possesses the immense power to destroy an Interaction Zone with a single shot!" Taki explained softly.

"Very powerful." Even through the passage wall, Zhang Rongfang could sense the immense aura emanating from these rhinoceros-like Evil Spirit Cannon.

In his perception, these Evil Spirit Cannons were like giant time bombs, their surfaces filled with terrifying, forcibly compressed energy that could explode at any moment.

"Of course, the Evil Spirit Cannon isn't suitable for close combat. Let's continue." Taki continued forward.

The two walked straight along the passage, and soon the two sides in front of them began to change.

Outside the transparent passage wall, the massive Evil Spirit Cannon gradually thinned out, and a giant humanoid black monster, over ten meters tall, gradually appeared.

These monsters were entirely black, emitting thick black smoke. They had no facial features or robes, and from a distance, they looked like blurry giants formed from condensed black smoke.

Apart from its human-like appearance, it has no other human characteristics.

These enormous, black, humanoid figures moved slowly along both sides of the passageway.

Some of them sat cross-legged to rest, while others lowered their heads as if searching for something. Some wandered around, and some even lay directly on the walls of the passage, trying to peer inside.

"These are Evil Spirit Elephant, the most concentrated source of malevolent energy and the strongest melee fighters among the Instant Tower's creations. Each one can easily kill hundreds or even thousands of Evil Spirit Car. As a guest, Qiankun, if you wish, you can personally experience the power of these little cuties," Taki said softly.

It vaguely sensed Zhang Rongfang's strength as the Bloodline King in the Sea of Forgetfulness, but it wasn't enough.

He needs a stronger partner to work with the Secret Keeper. If Zhang Rongfang cannot demonstrate sufficient strength, then his attitude and treatment towards him will change drastically.

And now, it's just a small test.

"If I accidentally kill a few, you won't ask me to pay compensation, will you?" Zhang Rongfang asked calmly.

"Of course not," Taki laughed.

With a wave of his hand, an oval opening automatically appeared in the wall of the passageway on the right.

At the edge of the opening, Hades, one of the Three Kings, appeared silently at the doorway and looked at the two of them.

His body was entirely composed of countless black flying ants, which were constantly wriggling, flowing and deforming. Occasionally, some ants that could not be stabilized and condensed would fall to the ground, resembling clumps of black slime.

"Please." Although Ming had no eyes, it was obvious that he was speaking to Zhang Rongfang.

Zhang Rongfang flapped its wings and gently floated off the ground.

Passing through the passage wall, you arrive at a black land outside where lava flows.

The sky was a gloomy black, filled with malevolent energy and poisonous smoke, and teeming with deadly elements.

If mortals or Spirit Thread parasites stayed here, they would probably be burned to a crisp within minutes by the terrifying temperature and corrupted by the massive amount of evil energy, turning into evil spirits.

"Among evil spirits, besides the basic cannons, elephants, horses, and chariots, there are also a few Devil Body that can retain their original consciousness."

Ming gave a brief introduction from the side.

"The Devil Body commands all Evil Spirits and is also a key general directly under our Three Kings. I've heard that all Evil Spirits under the Bloodline King possess their own consciousness. I wonder how powerful they are after they 'Spiritization?"

His tone carried a hint of doubt.

As the Three Kings, they were Central Capital dissatisfied with their lord, Taki, for suddenly bringing a so-called Bloodline King and treating him so well.

The aura emanating from the Bloodline King Qiankunzi was not particularly strong, and no special abilities were detected.

Therefore, to gain their respect, you need to demonstrate equal strength.

Taki seemed to have no intention of stopping the Three Kings' plans. In fact, he even seemed to be secretly pleased with them.

Zhang Rongfang floated on a patch of Hong Yan, with a colossal Evil Spirit Elephant, over eighteen meters tall, directly in front of him.

Upon hearing the question from the Evil King Ming, the Blood Flame in his eyes flickered slightly.

"I am just a young junior from an ordinary Interaction Zone, and I am definitely far inferior to Brother Taki. As for the evil spirits under my command, they are far inferior to me and are naturally not worth mentioning."

He looked the Evil Spirit Elephant in front of him up and down.

"If I accidentally break it, I shouldn't have to pay for it, right?"

"Of course not. Although there aren't many of these Evil Spirit Elephant here, there are still several thousand or tens of thousands." Ming stretched out his arm, gesturing for him to proceed.

"Understood."

Zhang Rongfang flew forward a distance.

"Then, I won't stand on ceremony."

Suddenly, the Blood Lotus unfolded behind him, rapidly covering his entire body, as if countless patterns Blooming on his skin at the same time.

Its body rapidly expanded, growing larger and taller.

In the blink of an eye, it rapidly expanded from over two meters to over ten meters, becoming as tall as the Evil Spirit Elephant.

Thump.

Thump.

At the same time, two Heart Burning Furnace throbbed in his chest.

The red and blue flames illuminated Zhang Rongfang's massive body in two distinct colors.

Soon, the outline of the Jade Pavilion's body appeared from behind him.

The outline of Heart Fusion's body then emerges from the front of the body.

Four arms grew out of his body like tree branches, stretching out and extending.

Including Zhang Rongfang's own two arms, he now had a total of six arms.

If these arms were neatly arranged, that would be one thing, but in Mei and Taki's current perspective...

Jade Pavilion and Heart Fusion's four arms grew out of their torsos in a crooked and irregular manner, completely lacking any sense of symmetry.

"The Divine Wind Like a Mirror."

"The Sea and Sky as One Color."

At the same time, Heart Fusion and Jade Pavilion's voices rang out together, overlapping eerily.

Countless blue cracks and rings of red flames burst forth from Zhang Rongfang's body.

A burst of brilliant Blue Light instantly engulfed the Evil Spirit Elephant standing in front of it.

Boom!!

The Evil Spirit Elephant was trying to pounce on Zhang Rongfang.

But before it could even get halfway there, it was completely engulfed by the terrifying two-colored light.
