Taking the Martial Seal: It Seemed, Perhaps, Definitely Possible With a True Disciple Token
Watching the two Heavenly King talking, Ning Chuan nodded to himself, feeling relieved.
His prediction was correct.
There's enough time.
Liu Cangdong hasn't obtained the Nine Steps to the Ends of the World yet.
"But two Heavenly King are guarding the entrance?!"
Ning Chuan gradually slowed down, his eyes narrowed slightly, gazing at the distant cave.
Even with the Heavenly King's domain, his whereabouts could not be detected.
However, to enter the mountain, one needs to go through a cave, which inevitably means getting close to the two Heavenly King.
Although the cave entrance is huge, it is a kilometer long and wide.
However, this distance is very close to the Heavenly King, enough to kill him in one strike, and it falls within the key vigilance range.
"How about we bypass them?"
Ning Chuan raised his head and looked at the Xiaoshan on the mountain.
However, Ning Chuan thought for a moment and then looked away.
These caves, dug by treasure hunters in the past, were all for the purpose of finding martial arts treasures. The passages inside are winding and circuitous, requiring repeated detours, which is a huge waste of time.
Moreover, most of them are dug from the outside in, and the end is a dead end, making it impossible to go deep into the mountain.
"Just go in through the entrance!"
Ning Chuan hesitated for a moment, then made a decision, resumed his original speed, and sped away.
He is proficient in many assassination techniques and has a high level of stealth skills.
Two Heavenly King at the Mid-Stage Spring Realm would be unable to detect it unless they were particularly skilled at investigation.
Of course, Ning Chuan is not afraid if he is exposed.
He has a strategy for dealing with this.
Stealth tactics that conceal one's tracks can be divided into two types.
One type, which can deceive everyone's perception and go unnoticed.
The other one, those who noticed, were all dead!
It's equivalent to not being discovered.
Ning Chuan was confident in his strength; if he made a move, he could instantly kill the two Heavenly King of the Spring Realm guarding the entrance.
However, the commotion from the battle will surely spread and alert the Heavenly King inside.
Therefore, Ning Chuan will not take action unless absolutely necessary.
"Arrive!"
Ning Chuan Shadowless silently into the cave, passing over the two Heavenly King.
The two remained expressionless and continued their conversation.
Seeing this, Ning Chuan remained vigilant and extremely cautious.
Throughout the process, he used his Divine Sense to carefully examine the reactions of the two people, from their facial expressions to the contraction of their capillaries, not missing a single detail.
To prevent the other party from pretending not to notice and then secretly informing Liu Cangdong to set a trap.
Once he was certain that the two Heavenly King hadn't noticed, Ning Chuan left and ventured deeper into the passage.
At the end of the passage, a dense glow of energy filled the air, resembling a portal connecting to the first floor of the mountain building.
Upon entering, one finds a vast, empty hall hundreds of meters high, its ceiling inlaid with luminous stones that emit a soft, bright light that clearly illuminates the space.
The interior of the hall was dilapidated and worn.
Collapsed stone shelves were everywhere, old and rotten. They were originally used to store Martial Seal, but now they were empty.
Many shrubs sprouted from the rocky ground, growing wildly and with dense foliage.
It was almost reduced to ruins.
"Not only the passageway, but the magic array within the mountain is also intact, emitting energy fluctuations that block Divine Sense from probing."
Ning Chuan looked around.
His Divine Sense was powerful, and its range of perception could cover the entire mountain.
However, it couldn't penetrate the mountain; it was limited to the first layer it was on.
He did the same thing when he was outside before.
Divine Sense can encompass the mountain, but cannot penetrate into it.
Fortunately, the Key-Seeking Compass is still working.
Ning Chuan looked down and saw the suspended golden arrow, trembling slightly as it tilted upwards, indicating that Liu Cangdong was on a certain level above him, ten kilometers away.
The buildings in the mountains have underground sections, with their depth matching their height.
Some areas even have folding space.
As for functionality, they are all the same.
Used to store Martial Seal.
no way.
The Prison-Suppressing Manor was once incredibly powerful, possessing a vast collection of Force martial arts techniques from across the entire Universe.
"The warning is only ten kilometers in advance, so I need to be careful."
Ning Chuan scanned it with his Divine Sense.
The entire first floor of the building is clearly visible.
He easily found the passage to the second level and proceeded silently.
Upon arriving at the second floor, the scene inside was almost identical to that of the first floor.
The ground was covered with rubble and broken walls.
It only occupies a slightly smaller area than the first floor.
After all, the mountain slopes gradually narrow upwards.
Ning Chuan spread his Divine Sense to investigate the entire floor in the blink of an eye, flying upwards with high efficiency and without slowing down.
The third floor was empty.
The fourth floor is empty.
Fifth floor...
Even before Ning Chuan fully developed his Divine Sense upon entering the seventh level, his five senses had already begun to perceive certain things.
"Someone's there!"
Ning Chuan felt a chill run down his spine, but remained very calm. He turned his head slightly and looked up.
Ten thousand meters away, the three Heavenly King of the Holy Heaven Alliance hovered in mid-air, facing a mountain wall in front of them. Their bodies were filled with powerful Force, and their terrifying pressure caused rocks to fly everywhere.
Two of them are from the Spring Realm, and one is from the River Realm.
It's him!
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes and recognized the River Realm Heavenly King as Zhang Lin. He was the ninth-generation descendant of Zhang Tianzhi, the Pavilion Master of the Zhang Tianzhi Mystic Weapon Pavilion, and the only Heavenly King among Zhang Tianzhi's descendants. He was exceptionally talented and mastered the Fourth-Grade Law of the High-Stage River Realm, placing him in the second tier among the River Realm Heavenly King.
"Why would the River Realm Heavenly King of the Mystic Weapon Pavilion come here?"
A question flashed through Ning Chuan's mind.
He knew that the search for the Nine Steps to the Ends of the World was a solitary endeavor of the Beast Emperor Hall and had nothing to do with the Holy Heaven Alliance.
As the Heavenly King of the Great River Realm, it was no problem for Liu Cangdong to mobilize several Heavenly King of the Spring Realm.
But what about a powerful River Realm Heavenly King like Zhang Lin?
His/her status is extremely high!
Liu Cangdong absolutely cannot command without the Holy Heaven Alliance's approval.
However, Ning Chuan did not think further; his gaze was immediately drawn to the mountain wall that the three of them were facing.
There, a box resembling a hazy mist merged into it, rising and falling, emanating intense spatial fluctuations, as if multiple spaces were intertwined and fused together, twisting and contorting each other, appearing chaotic and disorderly.
The three Heavenly King of the Holy Heaven Alliance made their moves one after another, unleashing a surge of primal Force that swept outwards, attempting to control the box of light and mist.
However, as soon as they got close, they were swallowed up by multiple spatial layers and could not make contact.
"That's a weapon box!"
Ning Chuan's eyes lit up.
He had never met them before, but through soul searching of Zhang Yunwang and Chen Zeyue, he had gained some understanding of them.
The Martial Seal Box, as the name suggests, is a container for storing Martial Seal.
Firstly, it can extend the storage time of the Martial Seal.
Secondly, it also has a certain protective function, as it can be integrated into the folded space and can only be taken out and opened with a corresponding Casket-Breaking Secret Key.
"The folded space containing the martial arts box has no fewer than ten compartments. Even disregarding the fact that it will deteriorate over time, the martial arts techniques inside are extremely powerful General-Bestowing martial arts, no less than the Mountain and River Seal!"
Ning Chuan couldn't help but be moved.
However, considering the even stronger Nine Steps to the Ends of the World, Ning Chuan withdrew his gaze and had no choice but to give up.
"Without the corresponding Casket-Breaking Secret Key, it's too difficult to obtain!"
After several failed attempts, a Heavenly King from the Spring Realm frowned and used his Force to smash the martial box in the mountain wall, but to no avail. The box was disintegrated and swallowed by more than ten folded spaces.
"Stay calm!"
Impatience was evident in Zhang Lin's eyes, but he remained calm and said, "We'll try little by little; we'll eventually get it out. It'll just take a little longer!"
The three of them then tried again.
In the distance, Ning Chuan stopped and did not leave.
He lowered his head, looking at the true disciple token in his hand, and could clearly feel an invisible connection between the token and the martial arts box.
Ning Chuan glanced at the martial arts box, his eyes gleaming.
It seems that I could take it with just a thought!
