The Heavenly Martial Realm was in turmoil, with waves of change rising and clouds swirling, but Ning Chuan, who had caused this upheaval, was completely unaware of it.
After leaving the Blood Curtain Plateau, Ning Chuan kept thinking about the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm.
This secret realm was his destination and was of great importance to him.
If the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm is just a Dao lineage, then it's simple; you can just explore the lineage normally without any extra trouble.
Zhang Tianzhi could comprehend the Mystic Truth and Law, then he could naturally do the same.
Moreover, it will become even stronger.
However, Ning Chuan knew in his heart that this possibility was not high.
If the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm is some kind of Daoist sect, then logically Zhang Tianzhi should focus on exploring it and seeking more gains, rather than entering the Divine Martial Stele.
"The possibility of Ancient Pilgrimage Path cannot be ruled out."
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered slightly.
It's quite strange that Zhang Tianzhi's spatial ring doesn't contain any substance similar to the Spirit of Law Comprehension.
But it's not inexplicable.
For example, the substance that Zhang Tianzhi obtained could only support the comprehension of Law up to the level of Divine General.
It was discarded after use.
Compared to Gu Yunyou's strength, Zhang Tianzhi was far weaker, so it's not surprising that what he obtained from the Moxuan Consortium was significantly inferior.
Or perhaps, it wasn't the Moxuan Consortium that sought cooperation with Zhang Tianzhi, but some other alien force.
Theoretically, both are possible.
"Regardless of whether it's the Moxuan Consortium or not, one thing is certain..."
Ning Chuan analyzed in his mind. "The substance that helps people comprehend Mystic Truth and Law has nothing to do with the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm itself, but comes from an alien force that controls this Ancient Pilgrimage Path!"
"Therefore, for me, the only option to obtain that substance is to cooperate with alien forces!"
"But what should we do...?"
Thoughts raced through Ning Chuan's mind as he stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of the observation deck, gazing at the golden figures rushing past below, lost in contemplation.
He traveled to the Mystic Weapon Pavilion in a spaceship.
Li Wenyue's injuries were serious, so it didn't make much sense for him to fly himself.
Fortunately, the Mystic Weapon Pavilion is not far from the Blood Curtain Plateau, so it won't take much time.
The spaceship sped along and arrived late at night.
Mystic Weapon Pavilion is not as powerful as Beast Emperor Hall, but as a super power with a Great River Realm Heavenly King, it also enjoys a continent on its own. Moreover, because it does not need to raise ferocious beasts, it is more prosperous than Beast Emperor Hall.
Skyscrapers stand side by side, their lights blazing, resembling an inverted, dazzling starry sky when viewed from above at night.
Buzz!
The spacecraft landed smoothly at an airport.
"You guys, go and rest for a bit."
The group flew out of the cabin. Li Wenyue dismissed the five accompanying Divine General, then called out to Ning Chuan, " Ye Shanliang, stop for a moment, I have something for you to do."
Ye Shanliang is the Divine General that Ning Chuan was impersonating.
"Yes, Elder."
Ning Chuan came to a stop suspended in mid-air.
After the five people left, Ning Chuan glanced at Li Wenyue, activated the Ends of the World Mystic Truth to conceal their figures, and said calmly, "Let's go."
"Yes! I will lead the way, sir!"
Li Wenyue dropped his imperious expression, bowed, and said in a fawning manner.
The two quickly took off and flew deeper into the mainland.
The continent occupied by the Mystic Weapon Pavilion is circular in shape and has a vast inland sea.
The sea contains several active volcanoes, whose magma contains several metals suitable for forging weapons. These metals are often extracted by the Mystic Weapon Pavilion to refine weapons, hence the sea is also known as the Fire Gold Sea.
"My lord, the Fire Gold Sea has arrived!"
Li Wenyue pointed to the sea below and reminded them, " The Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm is located deep within one of the underwater volcanoes."
Ning Chuan nodded. He had searched Li Wenyue's soul, so he naturally knew the location of the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm.
After flying a distance, the two dived into the sea.
A vast expanse of underwater volcanoes stretches out, numbering over a hundred.
The orange-red lava surged and flowed, contrasting sharply against the dark depths of the sea, like bright, blazing suns.
The nearby seawater boiled violently, forming dense and huge bubbles that surged upwards rapidly, carrying scorching heat.
Near some volcanic craters, there are devices resembling mining facilities used to extract lava.
Ning Chuan and Li Wenyue arrived at an inconspicuous, narrow volcanic crater, flew directly into the lava, and quickly submerged.
The magma was scorching hot, and the pressure increased the deeper you went.
But it didn't mean much to the two of them.
Non-stop.
One hundred kilometers...
Three hundred kilometers...
700 kilometers...
They continued diving for nearly a thousand kilometers before stopping.
The lava here is pure white and flows slowly.
A semi-transparent, hazy portal appeared before Ning Chuan, appearing and disappearing with the flow of lava.
The portal was small, no more than ten meters in length and width, standing amidst the magma, without leaking a trace of its presence, like a projected three-dimensional light and shadow.
Ning Chuan looked at it and couldn't help but shake his head.
That's really well hidden.
Unless one searches through the soul to probe memories, it would be impossible to find under normal circumstances.
"This is the entrance to the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm."
Li Wenyue glanced at the hazy portal in the lava, then turned his head slightly to Ning Chuan and explained, "We can't enter now. We need to use the Key of Space to open it before we can teleport."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan raised his hand and spun it around, grasping an ancient-looking stone tablet.
However, Ning Chuan did not rush to activate it, but instead used the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture to change his form and appearance.
He is now impersonating a Divine General.
If the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm is indeed an Ancient Pilgrimage Path, then the alien force that controls this Ancient Pilgrimage Path must have already cooperated with Zhang Tianzhi, and may even have information about the Mystic Weapon Pavilion and recognize this Divine General.
An ordinary Divine General could not possibly access this level of secrecy.
It's not hard to deduce that it was a person in disguise.
Rumble...
Amidst a muffled thunderous sound, Ning Chuan's muscles and bones trembled, his flesh and blood were compressed, his body gradually became hunched, his skin wrinkled and sallow, and he transformed into a gaunt old man.
As for identity, it is not a specific person; Ning Chuan creates it freely.
An unknown identity naturally arouses suspicion.
But its advantage lies in the fact that it's not easy for others to figure out its hand.
And this is only the first layer of disguise.
Ning Chuan flipped his left hand and took out a set of solid black robes and a mask, which he put on deftly.
Next, he infused it with the power of the Ends of the World Mystic Truth to isolate and prevent detection.
For powerful individuals in the Sea Realm and beyond, deciphering the Ends of the World Mystic Truth is not a difficult task.
However, the Ancient Pilgrimage Path has many limitations, and since the Martial Star has not yet recovered, the limitations are certainly more severe, which should be able to stop people from entering.
After doing all this, Ning Chuan checked it several times to make sure there were no flaws before activating the stone tablet in his hand.
It's not that he's lying.
He must be extremely cautious.
The consequences of having one's true identity exposed would be far too severe.
Aside from the danger, it would be impossible to establish a cooperative relationship with alien forces again.
For many forces in the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, he, who had obtained the supreme inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Manor, was undoubtedly a walking treasure trove, no different from gold in the eyes of gold diggers.
No faction doesn't want it.
The fact that the Moxuan Consortium produced such a highly targeted tool as the Spirit-Seeking Talisman is evidence of this.
Buzz!
The next moment, the hazy portal burst into light, and a spatial ripple spread out.
"My lord, you can teleport now."
Li Wenyue offered a reminder.
Ning Chuan glanced at him, thought for a moment, and instructed, "Once inside, don't call me 'Divine Envoy' anymore, and don't be overly respectful. Treat me the same as any other Heavenly King of the Great River Realm."
"Understood."
Li Wenyue replied, then followed Ning Chuan into the Initiation and disappeared.
