While various forces are subtly maneuvering.
On the other side.
The cold and desolate Dimensional Realm, or rather Dimensional Space, is utterly dark and silent.
Wow!
Suddenly, a streak of light flashed by like a shooting star, revealing a young man suspended within it. His armor was shattered, his skin stained with blood, and he held a fragment of a soul in his hand.
It was Ning Chuan!
At this moment, Ning Chuan closed his eyes slightly and was using the Soul-Searching Art, choosing not to attack the light that was enveloping him.
Given his current strength, breaking through it would probably require reaching the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Moreover, even if he manages to destroy the light before reaching the Heavenly Martial Realm, his situation will not improve; it will only worsen.
He can indeed survive in the Dimensional Realm for a very long time.
However, the Dimensional Realm are vast and boundless, the same size as the Universe. Without the guidance of a spatial anchor, he would be unable to find a way out and would most likely get lost in them, trapped and dying!
Therefore, going to the Heavenly Martial Realm is actually the best choice.
Ning Chuan remained calm, without fear of the future, and earnestly examined Lin Fengyang's memories.
"The Sacred Medicine Field of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace connects to the black mist area, which is actually an Ancient Pilgrimage Path from the glorious era of Martial Star!" Ning Chuan pondered, a question now answered, "No wonder Lin Fengyang wanted to seize it for himself!"
After the Martial Star's revival, beings from other Star Domain who wish to enter it can only do so through the Ancient Pilgrimage Path!
What if it came from outer space?
They're definitely going to die!
They would be instantly annihilated by Martial Star's self-defense mechanisms!
"Wrong!"
Ning Chuan continued the soul search, and suddenly a chill ran through him. "The ancient Ancient Pilgrimage Path of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace is very special. It allowed an entire organized army from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom to enter Martial Star, which is why Lin Fengyang attaches such importance to it!"
Ye Qingwu had told him this before.
The Ancient Pilgrimage Path of Martial Star has long been sealed off. Trying to activate it and send people in would be exploiting a loophole and would come at a huge cost!
The key issue is that there are many limitations.
Especially the strength and number of living beings.
A single Ancient Pilgrimage Path can only support a maximum of two or three lives!
The beings who descend upon Martial Star are usually top geniuses. Only by allowing them to obtain powerful lineage inheritances can the price paid by the forces behind them be made up!
However, the Ancient Pilgrimage Path within the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace can transport multiple people at once!
As for the exact amount...
Lin Fengyang didn't know either.
Contact Lin Fengyang's superior, simply to inform Lin Fengyang that the Divine Kingdom can send an army to conquer Martial Star!
"Fortunately, that Ancient Pilgrimage Path is now under my control."
Ning Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The current Martial Star is far inferior to the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom; there is no comparison.
Ning Chuan continued to investigate Lin Fengyang's memories.
"As early as when he was at the first level of the Divine General First Heaven realm, Lin Fengyang had already become an undercover agent for the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom."
"At that time, Lin Fengyang's cultivation mainly relied on guidance from a Demigod of the Divine Kingdom. Due to the self-defense mechanism of the Martial Star, it was difficult for the two to communicate, and the effect was not good."
"As the era of revival approaches, the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom can send materials to Martial Star!"
" Lin Fengyang received many rewards, including a Spirit of Law Comprehension, which caused his cultivation speed to skyrocket..."
While searching for the soul, Ning Chuan also sent out a strand of his spiritual power to probe Lin Fengyang's spatial ring. It took him quite a long time to erase the Divine Seal on it.
Lin Fengyang's soul is not weak.
Swish!
With a thought, Ning Chuan produced an exquisite silver box in his hand.
The silver box is merely a container.
What's inside is the Spirit of Law Comprehension bestowed upon Lin Fengyang by the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
Through the soul search of Lin Fengyang, Ning Chuan was already familiar with him.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Spirit of Law Comprehension and the insights gained from the Marquis-Bestowing Martial Seal are essentially the same—both are profound realms inscribed by powerful individuals.
The difference is...
The insights gained from the Martial Seal only pertain to the relevant martial arts techniques.
The Spirit of Law Comprehension contains even more profound meanings, perhaps even encompassing the lifelong insights of a powerful individual.
Gazing at the exquisite silver box, a fiery glint flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes!
The Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom attaches great importance to Lin Fengyang.
The Spirit of Law Comprehension in the silver box was specially engraved by a true King and Marquis, containing multiple Law mastered by that King and Marquis!
However, Lin Fengyang's talent was limited; he only comprehended two Law, Profound Ice and Heavenly Flame, both of which were at the fourth rank.
Even Lin Fengyang's superior was so angry that he rebuked him for wasting such a precious resource!
"I should be able to use it too, but the silver box is a problem!"
Ning Chuan frowned slightly, pondering to himself, "The silver box is a product of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, similar to a safe. The password is the fluctuation of Lin Fengyang's soul essence, which doesn't match mine."
"If I want to open it, I can only resort to brute force and mental torture!"
Thinking of this, Ning Chuan's eyes narrowed, and a wisp of spiritual energy swept out, landing on the silver box in his hand.
Sizzle sizzle--!
A sound similar to strong acid corroding metal was heard.
What was corrupted was the wisp of spiritual energy that Ning Chuan had extended.
The patterns on the surface of the silver box shimmered with light, and in a short time, they completely corroded Ning Chuan's spiritual power!
The silver box also suffered some energy loss.
However, compared to the total amount contained within, it is insignificant.
"With my current soul strength, trying to break through it by sheer willpower is a huge undertaking, and it's absolutely impossible to do so in a short time!"
Ning Chuan shook his head.
However, Ning Chuan wasn't too disappointed.
The Spirit of Law Comprehension has fallen into his hands; he will eventually be able to unlock it!
In the path of cultivation, one can strive for speed, but one must avoid being impatient and restless.
Ning Chuan put away the silver box, calmed his mind, and began to use the Soul-Searching Art.
The information Lin Fengyang possessed flashed through his mind quickly.
"I see! There's a reason why the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom values Lin Fengyang so much. Lin Fengyang is their only Heavenly King -level spy and the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom's chief ally in the Federation."
Ning Chuan nodded to himself.
The infiltration of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom into the Federation is not too serious.
If there are multiple Heavenly King...
Then the Federation would essentially have no reason to exist.
"Over the years, Lin Fengyang has developed a large network of subordinates. Besides Wu Guangzhi, whom Sister Ya and I killed, there are three Divine General and dozens of Knight!"
"Among them, some Knight were uncovered by the Federation, but none of them were traced back to Lin Fengyang..."
A glint of light flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes.
With a flick of his wrist, he took out a stack of silver cards from Lin Fengyang's spatial ring. The cards were soft, shimmering with fluorescence, and covered with unique patterns, resembling some kind of collector's edition silver banknotes.
In fact, these cards are not currency.
It's called Divine Oracle Talisman!
Lin Fengyang wasn't worried about his subordinates exposing his existence, Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom wasn't worried about Lin Fengyang, all thanks to the Divine Oracle Talisman!
This is a soul artifact crafted by True God.
Once integrated into the target's soul, the target will unconditionally believe in and obey the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
Of course, there are limitations.
First, its use is subject to stringent conditions, requiring the target to embody its essence.
Moreover, the stronger the soul and the higher the power, the more difficult it is to integrate the Divine Oracle Talisman.
Just like Ning Chuan, even if he used up all of this stack of Divine Oracle Talisman, they basically couldn't be integrated into his soul.
" Divine Oracle Talisman are by no means useless; if used properly, they can have miraculous effects at certain times!"
A few immature ideas vaguely flashed through Ning Chuan's mind.
He didn't dwell on it, raised his hand and twisted it to put away the Divine Oracle Talisman, then continued to examine his memories.
The soul-searching session ended quickly.
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered slightly.
He had to admit that risking his life to kill Lin Fengyang was the right thing to do, even though the cost was severe, the gains were enormous.
Time passed, and about fifteen minutes went by.
Buzz--!
The light carrying Ning Chuan trembled violently, completing the teleportation, disappearing from the Dimensional Realm, and entering the Heavenly Martial Realm!
