The Dark Domain.
An existence that is feared throughout the entire High-Latitude Realm, even by Heavenly Lord Class powers.
This force is too mysterious.
Not to mention their extremely powerful intelligence-gathering capabilities, even the powerful figures recruited by the Dark Domain are scattered throughout the High-Latitude Realm.
Overall, the Dark Domain cannot be considered a sect; it is more like an association or organization.
Therefore, even powerful individuals who have already joined a sect can join the Dark Domain if they receive an invitation from it.
The prerequisite is that you must Heavenly Dao Oath that you will not reveal any secrets of the Dark Domain!
Although there will be some restrictions.
However, the various resources and connections within the Dark Domain are so enticing that even the most powerful individuals cannot help but be tempted!
Faced with all these treatments, the constraints imposed upon them were also acceptable.
For example, Liu Ziru.
The young master of the Liu Lineage, a top-tier second-rate Lineage in the High-Latitude Realm, who has never produced a genius in ten thousand years, joined the Dark Domain and became Five-Star Deacon of the Dark Domain.
It should be noted that Liu Ziru was once a dazzling figure who could rival the prodigies of top-tier forces.
The Dark Domain is too mysterious.
Therefore, apart from the higher-ups within the Dark Domain, no one knows where the Dark Domain's headquarters is located.
Those from the outside world want to know where the Dark Domain is.
They'll either be taken there by the higher-ups in the Dark Domain.
Either they received an invitation from the Dark Domain.
Lu Changsheng possesses both of these qualities!
The Void Behemoth traversed through layers of space, without a single ray of light in its path!
It was as if we were walking through a dark abyss.
After an unknown amount of time, the Void Behemoth suddenly stopped at Liu Ziru's command.
All around was pitch black and utterly silent.
Only the Void Behemoth's breath, absorbing the surrounding spatial storms, could be heard.
Lu Changsheng glanced around, nodded, and said, "It seems the Dark Domain is quite powerful, actually creating a world here? No wonder you said the others couldn't find the Dark Domain."
Just as Liu Ziru was about to use a special method to break through the spatial barrier in front of him, he heard Lu Changsheng's words and his expression turned to shock!
How did you know that a space had been created here?
Lu Changsheng asked curiously, "Is it difficult? The spatial fluctuations here are different from other places, and there's also a faint but extremely dense Spiritual Qi emanating from it."
Liu Ziru: "..."
He then shook his head with a wry smile.
Is it difficult?
Of course it's difficult!
Although Lu Changsheng is right, the spatial fluctuations and Spiritual Qi here are indeed different from other places.
But even he couldn't discover these things without special guidance!
However, upon reflection, Lu Changsheng's unfathomable supernatural Divine Ability, as vast as the ocean, came to mind.
It would be strange if it weren't discovered.
"It seems the Dark Ranking underestimated your strength." Liu Ziru said with a wry smile as he opened his spatial dimension. "You should be ranked first. This is the first time I've discovered that the Dark Ranking can make mistakes!"
Lu Changsheng shrugged. "The world is so big, there are plenty of people stronger than me. Maybe the Dark Ranking isn't that great."
Liu Ziru muttered under his breath, " The Dark Ranking won't work? Only someone like you would dare say that."
"Can't they at least have some self-awareness about their own abilities...?"
Space was torn open.
The two dismounted from the back of the Void Behemoth and stepped inside.
Instantly.
An overwhelming surge of Spiritual Qi rushed towards us!
Lu Changsheng retorted with disdain, "Your Dark Domain is so powerful, how come the Spiritual Qi is so thin?"
Liu Ziru said helplessly, " Senior Lu, you can't compare everything to your Changsheng Realm!"
"Moreover, this is High-Latitude Realm, and Dark Domain at that! Compared to the Spiritual Qi density of the Mid-Latitude Realm- or Low-Latitude Realm, it's hundreds of times higher here!"
Lu Changsheng did not reply, but instead scanned his surroundings.
The Dark Domain was not as dark as its name suggested.
Instead, sunlight shines on the vast green grassland, where there are piles of things that look like stone bricks.
At the center of those stone houses stands a dark stone monument that reaches from the sky to the ground!
Twenty names are inscribed on the stone tablet.
The second one from the top, its name was half-obscured by the clouds in the sky, but it was still faintly visible.
You can still make out the name above it; it's engraved with Lu Changsheng!
The first one was completely obscured by clouds and fog.
As he looked around, Lu Changsheng naturally released his Divine Sense, enveloping the entire Dark Domain!
Four people were hidden in the surrounding space.
Inside the stone house, more than a dozen people were focusing their attention on him.
At this moment.
Liu Ziru led Lu Changsheng to the stone house closest to the stone tablet.
Liu Ziru bowed respectfully and said with his hands clasped, " Dark Lord, Senior Lu has arrived."
At that moment, the door of the stone house was pushed open.
A person who looked extremely young stepped forward.
Lu Changsheng glanced at him and knew that the man was in disguise.
The Dark Lord smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I've been waiting for you for so long, and you've finally arrived."
"I know you don't like beating around the bush, so let's get straight to the point. The Star Essence you desire is a divine object born at the beginning of time, and the Dark Domain discovered clues to it by chance."
"This clue is an S-level secret of our Dark Domain. To obtain it, you must join the Dark Domain."
Lu Changsheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I still stand by what I said: I don't like being bound, nor do I want to have too much involvement with other forces."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Lord smiled and said, "Although the Dark Domain imposes constraints on others, if you join the Dark Domain, I guarantee in the name of the Dark Lord that the Dark Domain will never force you to do anything you don't want to do, and you will still have your freedom."
"Furthermore, you can freely access all the secrets of the Dark Domain, except for S-level secrets, as long as you don't reveal them."
Liu Ziru was slightly taken aback.
This offer is undeniably generous!
As Five-Star Deacon, he needs to apply to access A-level documents!
S-class is even less likely.
Moreover, they possess absolute freedom!
Liu Ziru quickly whispered from the side, " Senior Lu, if you agree, it's like having a free source of information!"
"Moreover, the network of connections is free to use; it's all advantages and no disadvantages!"
Lu Changsheng still smiled and shook his head, saying, "I still stand by what I said: I don't want to have too much involvement with other forces, no matter how abundant the resources may be."
Upon hearing this...
Liu Ziru patted his forehead.
The Dark Lord shrugged and said, "Then there's nothing to discuss. In my opinion, if you want clues to the Star Essence, you can only obtain them by joining the Dark Domain."
"Since you've refused, then you may take a look around the Dark Domain."
He then looked at Liu Ziru and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. Take Fellow Daoist Lu around."
After saying that, he turned and went into the stone house.
But Lu Changsheng's lips moved slightly at this moment.
The Dark Lord's body paused.
The hand that had been pushing the stone door was now suspended in mid-air!
PS: Third update, one more to go (Damn it, the A and Y keys on my keyboard aren't working, it's so frustrating).
