On the very day that Lu Yan'an had finished exploring the many Innate Secret Techniques of the World Tree Clone, he quietly appeared in a private room of a restaurant in Hong Alliance City in the Virtual Universe.

King Tianyu, King Limeng, and King Tianxuan were gathered together. King Limeng and King Tianxuan were new friends that Lu Yan'an in the Glory World of the Ancestral God Religion. Both of them belonged to the Hong Alliance and were much better at intelligence gathering than Lu Yan'an, who was only a half-baked expert.

"Having been assassinated twice by Alien Race in such a short time! You truly deserve to be called the strongest genius among our Human Race. Who else but you could withstand such treatment?" After teasing him for a while, King Limeng said, "Now that you've come to see us in such a hurry, there must be something you need, right?"

"It's probably about intelligence! When you, Li Meng, and I are at a place, isn't it always related to intelligence?" King Tianxuan added, "And Tianyu, although he's not as good at intelligence as the two of us, he's not bad either."

"Who knows what Huan Shi is thinking! How could a mere Feng Wang like me possibly fathom the thoughts of the strongest genius of the human race?" King Tianyu said with a smile as he looked at Lu Yan'an.

"Three people."

Lu Yan'an personally picked up the wine pot and poured wine for the three of them, including King Tianxuan, saying, "I've come to you three because I want to ask for your help."

"The King Huanshi poured the wine himself; even the most ordinary wine carries extraordinary significance." King Tianxuan picked up his wine cup and took a small sip. "Huan Shi, just say what you need. As long as it's about intelligence, Li Meng and I will do our best to help without hesitation."

King Huanshi, please help me; this is something I can't ask for even if I beg.

Everyone knows that as long as the King Huanshi doesn't die, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future, and it's incredibly difficult to build a relationship with such a being! Keep in mind that even for the strongest genius in human history, getting a single word from Lu Yan'an is extremely difficult. After all, even the human race's higher-ups have given a strict order forbidding any unauthorized personnel from disturbing him!

"Speak."

"We will definitely help if we can." King Tianxuan and King Limeng also looked at Lu Yan'an.

"I've invited you two here because I want to gather detailed information about the depths of the Ancestral God Secret Region," Lu Yan'an nodded to King Tianxuan and King Limeng. "As far as I know, quite a few inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion have traveled to the Secret Realm Land through the teleportation channel in front of the Island Master Palace. These inheritors must have collected a lot of information, and I need it."

King Tianxuan, holding his wine cup, frowned. "The Ancestral God Religion has specifically set up three passages, leading to the Treasure Land, the Inheritance Land, and the Secret Realm Land. The establishment of the Secret Realm Land is clearly intended for us inheritors to explore and adventure there."

"Moreover, there are indeed many inheritors who take risks. They will form a team and assist each other. Once they apply to become a team in the Glory World, the team members must never kill each other. Their consciousness can be connected to the Glory World at any time in the Ancestral God Secret Region and keep synchronized. Anyone who dares to kill their companions will be expelled and hunted down by the Ancestral God Religion."

King Tianxuan and King Limeng were also looking at Lu Yan'an, both guessing that King Huanshi was going to the Secret Realm Land. After all, Lu Yan'an's desire to venture into the Secret Realm Land was now completely undisguised.

"If you're considering venturing into the secret realms, it would be best to set off with my human race's team," King Tianxuan.

In response to King Tianxuan's advice, Lu Yan'an did not indicate whether he intended to go to the secret realm for training. He simply said, "I just want to learn about the situation there. Just tell me directly if you have any connections."

Although these fellow Feng Wang of the Hong Alliance a secret alliance of powerful figures) appear to have a close relationship, they have only recently met. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart; who knows if their thoughts will be betrayed by these two "friends"?

"No problem." Faced with Lu Yan'an's question, King Tianxuan stopped trying to dissuade him and instead nodded, saying, "There are quite a few inheritors who have been to the Secret Realm Land, and our Hong Alliance has a lot of information on it. Different groups also frequently exchange information. Give us some time, and we will soon gather as much detailed information as possible about the Ancestral God Secret Region."

"However, if you go to the secret realm, you must be careful. That place is extremely dangerous. Even with detailed information, the strength of an Immortal Feng Wang is still insufficient. If you perish, even if you have the talent of Clones, your treasures will be lost in that dangerous place, which would be a great loss." King Limeng said repeatedly, "I believe you should have your own plans. I won't say any more; you should know what's going on. Come! Let's drink!"

"Come on, let's drink." Seeing this, Lu Yan'an also picked up his wine glass.

After a long while, everyone finally dispersed.

After watching Lu Yan'an leave, the three members of the King Tianyu's group, standing in front of the restaurant, exchanged glances.

"It seems he's quite interested in the Ancestral God Secret Region, given his intelligence gathering," King Tianxuan transmitted telepathically.

"Who wouldn't be interested? That's the highest-level secret realm, the most wondrous. It's just that I feel the King Huanshi seems to want to go in alone." King Tianyu frowned.

"Never mind that. The King Huanshi has more tricks up his sleeve than we thought," King Limeng laughed. "Since he's asked us for help, let's hurry up and gather intelligence."

The three of them immediately vanished into thin air and left the Virtual Universe. However, not long after they left, Lu Yan'an and King Tianyu quietly returned to the private room.

"Tianyu, besides asking you to help me gather some intelligence for comparison, I also have a favor to ask of you!" Lu Yan'an said to King Tianyu with a smile.

He could now trust the King Tianyu before him. His previous act of standing up to pressure and stopping others from forcibly entering the residential area was enough to confirm that the Heavenly Feather King was at least on the side of humanity. Furthermore, in the original story, the King Tianyu lived until the rise of City Lord Luo and even provided him with some assistance and gifts, further solidifying his stance.

"What is it?" Seeing that Lu Yan'an spoke with a serious tone, King Tianyu subconsciously became serious as well.

"Don't be too nervous!" Lu Yan'an said, patting his shoulder. "I'm just asking you to make a trip to the Original Secret Realm to deliver a Space Ring to a friend of mine!"

"As you know, my current situation is sensitive, and countless eyes are watching my residence every day! I could have delivered it myself, but any move I make would trigger those Alien Races, so I have no choice but to ask for your help now."

After listening to Lu Yan'an's words, King Tianyu pondered for a moment before agreeing. Indeed, given Lu Yan'an's current notoriety, many things were indeed difficult to do. His every move within the Ancestral God Sect was being monitored, and any slight disturbance would become public knowledge. Furthermore, his name had recently quietly appeared among the sixth-level inheritors in the Black Book of the Glory World, further intensifying the killing intent towards him among the alien races...

Immediately, the two of them vanished into thin air, leaving the Virtual Universe and heading to the Glory World.

Inside Lu Yan'an's residence on Zijing Island.

"The Ancestral God Secret Region is the highest-level secret realm in the universe, containing the most treasures and the most Special Lifeform. It is the best place for me to comprehend the Heart of the Beast God, and besides, I have no other choice now." Lu Yan'an leaned on the railing and looked at the visible cosmic laws in the distant sky, and sighed unconsciously.

"Since the Ancestral God Secret Region has such a suitable place for me to train, I don't need to look for other places. Besides, the Heart of the Beast God isn't something that can only be comprehended in a special environment."

In the original story, City Lord Luo comprehended the Heart of the Beast God while comprehending the Secret Pattern School in the Beast God World, by sheer chance. It was the resonance of the laws, coupled with his carefree state of mind, that ultimately gave birth to his Heart of the Beast God. Theoretically speaking, even during cultivation and combat, as long as one can enter this state of resonance, one can comprehend the Heart of the Beast God!

"My name has already spread throughout the universe, and I have become the target of the Three Great Peak Races. I must improve my strength as soon as possible. This Ancestral God Secret Region is the most suitable training ground for me at present!"

"Once King Tianyu sends my World Tree Clone to the Original Secret Realm to take root, I can consider breaking through the current constraints," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "For now, I must be patient. Once the World Tree has perfectly taken root in the core territory of humanity, my foundation will be fully established!"
