Ning Chuan's investigative abilities are incredibly powerful; he can even discern someone's true intentions through clandestine mental communication.
Soon, they learned a lot of important information.
The Sun Core will be the last to leave in order to retrieve the spatial gate. If all goes well, it will depart in five days.
"That's enough for me."
Ning Chuan nodded silently.
He plans to use the Sun Core as a starting point!
Then, Ning Chuan continued to spy secretly. Not long after, a conversation among a group of soldiers in a bar on the lower level of the Sun Core, which was meant for officers and soldiers to relax, caught Ning Chuan's attention.
There were more than ten soldiers in the group, who knew each other and belonged to the same unit.
Ning Chuan had even met one of the soldiers before.
It was the Black Heaven Demonic Ape!
Its size was deliberately suppressed, only about two meters tall, like a robust human, wearing the standard military uniform of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, clearly indicating that it had joined the Military Department.
The Black Heaven Demonic Ape originally planned to heal Ning Chuan's injured body and then immediately return to Martial Star.
However, His Highness Hong Bo stopped it and told it to leave after a while.
Unexpectedly, while it was staying on the Sun Core, the massive Martial Extermination Army was crushed, followed by the elite Blood Mystic Army of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, and finally even Nie Yang, who was in charge of this Martial Star operation, was killed by Ning Chuan with a single sword strike.
The Black Heaven Demonic Ape naturally dared not return to Martial Star, and could only apply to join the Military Department the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
Its soul had been searched by Yin Zhu, so its identity was not an issue. In addition, its talent was indeed quite good. It would rank among the top in the line of heirs of Bright Moon Grade forces. The Military Department did not refuse it and even gave it a high military rank.
At this moment, the Black Heaven Demonic Ape put down his wine cup, his eyes flashing, and said, "In a few days, we will be able to return to the Divine Kingdom and will rest for a long time. Have you heard any rumors about it?"
"There are too many rumors circulating. Because of Ning Chuan alone, the entire Divine Kingdom is in a state of panic!"
" The Mystic King is only temporarily nominally our military commander. He will definitely step down after returning home. Our Blazing Sun Army will either have a new Demigod military commander appointed from among the two deputy military commanders, or be demoted to a second-tier position and one of the two deputy military commanders will be promoted to military commander."
"Actually, there's another possibility: the Blazing Sun Army was dismantled, and we were assigned to other armies!"
"If we could be assigned to the Blood Mystic Army, the benefits would definitely be better, but if we're assigned to a second or third-tier army, the future prospects aren't great!"
"I wonder if any of my former colleagues could pull some strings for me..."
The soldiers at the table were discussing amongst themselves, each expressing their own feelings.
Compared to annihilating Ning Chuan and occupying Martial Star, they care more about their own future and development.
After all, what good would killing Ning Chuan do?
Without the strength of the Upper Three Realms, you basically won't gain any benefits.
" Black Ape, what are your plans?"
Someone asked casually.
Black Ape is the name that the Black Heaven Demonic Ape gave himself.
After all, its strength and status were not outstanding after joining the Blazing Sun Army, so using its original domineering name was obviously inappropriate. Therefore, it was changed to a more ordinary name.
"I won't hide it from you all. It would be a lie to say I have deep feelings for the Blazing Sun Army. After all, I've only been a member for a few days. I'd much rather the Blazing Sun Army be disbanded!" The Black Heaven Demonic Ape let out a light breath, suppressing his somewhat fiery emotions, and said, "If it's disbanded, I can apply to be transferred to the All Saints Manor as a guard. If that's approved, my future prospects will be much brighter!"
" The All Saints Manor?!"
The soldier sitting opposite the Black Heaven Demonic Ape raised an eyebrow, as if remembering something, and teased, "What? Still want that drop of God King's essence blood? Well, good luck, I'm rooting for you!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan, far away on Martial Star, felt a slight stirring in his heart.
The Origin Cultivation System, above the Rule lies the Great Dao, True God achieve Immortal!
In the path of body cultivation, after refining Divine Body, the next step is the God King Physique!
Of course, the so-called God King Physique is just a powerful name that contains the characteristics of body cultivation. It is not simply about becoming Divine Body, but about evolving a real world within the body.
This is different from the Nebula Realm and Universe Realm in the Origin Cultivation System, which are merely descriptions of the power of Law.
The world that evolved within the God King Physique is truly a Universe where living beings can survive.
Legend has it that God King once perished, and the world that emerged from his body was even more vast than all the Divine Kingdom and royal courts combined.
The essence and blood of the God King are the fundamental energy that drives the evolution of the world within his God King Physique.
"Would it be useful for my Divine Treasure?"
An idea flashed through Ning Chuan, but he shook his head. "Our primary goal at this stage should be the Origin of the Great Dao. We'll only try the God King's essence blood if there's an opportunity!"
Meanwhile, in the bar, the conversation continued.
The Black Heaven Demonic Ape shrugged helplessly, took a big gulp of wine, and said, "If the guards can compete for it, then I will definitely try my best."
But the essence blood of the God King is a resource for recruiting those unparalleled geniuses, which has nothing to do with me.
I chose to be transferred to the All Saints Manor mainly because it receives strong support from the royal All Saints Manor, offering more opportunities!
As he spoke, the Black Heaven Demonic Ape grinned and said, "However, if I can guard the All Saints Manor, I might be able to see that drop of God King's essence blood. What if I have a flash of inspiration and break through to the next level, directly General-Bestowing!"
" Black Ape, your face is quite dark, and you seem to enjoy daydreaming!"
"Do you really think all beings on Martial Star are like Ning Chuan, progressing as easily as eating and drinking..."
Several soldiers joked around until one of them mentioned Ning Chuan, at which point the atmosphere at the table changed completely.
They all knew very well what this name meant in the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
"Silence!"
The leader secretly transmitted a rebuke, then subtly changed the subject, talking about other trivial matters.
The soldiers, including the Black Heaven Demonic Ape, echoed his sentiments.
Seeing that there was no important information, Ning Chuan stopped paying special attention. After a long while, his eyes calmed down, and he withdrew his search of the area where the Sun Core was located.
Next, Ning Chuan used the information he had gathered to revise his plan.
Furthermore, the process is supplemented by the Heavenly Dao Art and the Great Dao of Heavenly Fate, with continuous risk assessment.
"I can easily leave the atmosphere and infiltrate the Martial Star Sun Core without being detected by Yin Xuan, but if Yin Zhu or Tu Tian are spying on this star system, they will discover my infiltration." Ning Chuan pondered to himself, "Although I calculated using the Heavenly Dao Art that the strongest being in this star system is Yin Xuan, with the strength of Immortal and top-tier True God, confusing the heavenly secrets is not difficult!"
"To be on the safe side, let's leave via the Ancient Pilgrimage Path!"
Ning Chuan made up his mind.
That night, late at night, the moonlight was pleasant and the stars were shining brightly.
Ning Chuan vanished into the void and arrived at an Ancient Pilgrimage Path.
He has already checked the relevant information.
This Ancient Pilgrimage Path connects to a central point located on the border of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, less than a million kilometers from the Sun Core's return route—quite close!
"It's time to go!"
Ning Chuan acted decisively, taking a step forward and entering this Ancient Pilgrimage Path.
