Ch. 2402Worlds apart!
Inside the metal cavern beneath the Tianhuo Great Domain, Kucang and Meng Tianji revealed their knowledge of its hidden master and the nine riddles required to meet him. Chen Zheng solved the first riddle with a casual streak of starlight and entered through the opened door, leaving Kucang and Meng Tianji stunned by the gap between them.
- Kucang's will followed the Tianhuo Dao group into the metal cavern, and Meng Tianji revealed that he had survived the Grand Emperor's attack and that both he and Kucang had known about the cavern for a hundred thousand years.
- Meng Tianji explained that the cavern's master had set nine riddles, and Kucang and Meng Tianji had spent ten thousand years failing to solve the first one.
- Nine metal rings appeared, and Chen Zheng sent a streak of starlight through them, merging them into a door that opened at the cavern master's invitation.
- Chen Zheng stepped through the door, which vanished behind him, while Kucang protested that he had solved only one riddle.
- Kucang lamented that Chen Zheng had solved in an instant what he and Meng Tianji could not solve in ten thousand years, and Meng Tianji sighed in agreement.
