The Three Great Nations Stunned, Heavenly Star Grandmasters Arrive! (9,000-Character Chapter) (Continued)

This kind of open-mindedness is something that not everyone can do.

"Director Zhang, you're too kind." Shen Xing took a deep breath. "As you said yourself, I'm just starting out, and I'm still a long way from reaching the Grandmaster Realm."

"It would be better to convert this treasure into the fighting power of the Heavenly Star Nation as soon as possible."

"Besides, I don't think I need the assistance of such a treasure to break through to the Grandmaster."

Shen Xing wasn't exaggerating; for him, the Grandmaster Realm really posed no real obstacle.

After all, his territory is home to two extremely Rare fish species: the 'Soul Crystal Bream' and the 'Blood Whale Bream King'.

As long as you have enough Soul Stone, you can continuously Time Acceleration.

In a short period of time, it can produce a large number of Soul Crystal, accelerating the condensation of Primordial Soul.

Therefore, this drop of 'Purple Abyss Holy Blood' was not of much help to him.

Zhang Yu was stunned. He had originally thought that breaking through to the Grandmaster was not as simple as he had imagined.

But considering that he could even obtain such a treasure, and his past behavior, he ultimately kept quiet.

This is a monster; it cannot be measured by common sense.

At the same time, Shen Xing had already extended his right hand.

The Flower of Mist slowly rotated, spewing out a thick mist.

As the gray fog dissipated, a drop of crystal-clear, shimmering purple liquid floated in mid-air.

This drop of liquid seemed to contain some kind of peculiar magic; its natural aura alone made one feel the blood rush through their body and a sense of longing rise from the depths of their soul.

It even makes one eager to absorb this drop of blood and completely integrate it into their body.

"Such powerful soul fluctuations, and such immense blood energy!"

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Although I don't know what this drop of blood is, I can sense that it can indeed help me break through my bottleneck."

A strong desire appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously asked:

"But... are you sure you want to give this to me?"

"You could find any Master Rank lord and they would be willing to part with their life savings to exchange for such a treasure."

Shen Xing laughed and said, "Of course, Jiangcheng doesn't have a Grandmaster yet, so let Director Zhang be the first."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly, his tone full of admiration. "I never expected that my opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster would actually fall on you."

"Our Jiangcheng is truly a city that produces many talented people."

He sighed for a moment, then said, "However, even though you've given me this drop of blood, I can't just take it for nothing."

"I will apply to my superiors for this matter, and you will certainly receive a sufficient reward."

Shen Xing was about to say no, but Zhang Yu interrupted, "You don't need to refuse. This isn't from me, it's from the country."

"After all, you've given Heavenly Star Nation another Grandmaster Rank expert, a huge contribution, and you deserve it."

Having said all that, Shen Xing naturally wouldn't refuse any longer, and instead handed over the drop of blood.

Zhang Yu solemnly accepted it, feeling the surging power contained within, his eyes filled with unprecedented anticipation and confidence.

"Congratulations, Director Zhang," Elder Wang said with a smile. "It seems we'll all have to call you Grandmaster Zhang from now on."

Jiang Rong and Zhou Zheng also had genuine smiles on their faces and offered their congratulations.

"I haven't broken through yet. Let's wait until I reach the Grandmaster level."

Zhang Yu smiled and collected the blood. "Alright, now I'll take you to the military base."

"I'll bring you back to Jiangcheng once the storm has passed, or once I've broken through to the Grandmaster."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Immediately afterwards, the 'Silver Shuttle' entered stealth mode and disappeared into the depths of the Firmament.

Then, it flew off at high speed in another direction.

Meanwhile, in Heavenly Star Nation City, the capital of Tianmen City Kingdom.

Inside the solemn building, soldiers patrolled everywhere, creating a serious and efficient atmosphere.

At that moment, a woman dressed in a smart uniform and exuding a capable demeanor strode across the corridor and arrived at the door of an office.

She pushed open the heavy wooden door and reported quickly in a clear voice.

"Minister, Director Zhang from Jiangcheng just sent an urgent message saying he has something important to report to you."

"It's about that Mist Void Realm at sea; it's said to involve a Grandmaster Rank expert."

Inside the office, in front of a large desk.

A middle-aged man, dressed simply and with a reserved demeanor, was flipping through the documents on the table.

Upon hearing the sound at the door, he stopped what he was doing, then opened a drawer and took out a black metal cube.

He held it to his ear, pressed the button next to it, and Zhang Yu's voice came through.

The middle-aged man listened for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing again.

A moment later, he gently put down the black communicator, a smile playing on his lips.

"Go to Shunxing Teahouse and tell those two that something has happened overseas, and they need to come out of retirement."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Yes, Minister, I'll go right away!"

She closed the office door and rushed to the teahouse without stopping.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she knew that asking those two to help must be something very important.

She quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The quiet office fell silent again.

The middle-aged man gazed at the scenery outside the window and muttered to himself.

"Zhang Yu... Shen Xing... Grandmaster..."

"It's unbelievable that such a Xiao Xiao Jiangcheng could produce so many monsters and prodigies."

"Could it be that, with the world's unification imminent, Blue Star has concentrated its fortune on this city in an effort to save itself?"

"In other words, Jiangcheng is very likely to become the first integration site..."

While operating in Heavenly Star Nation.

On the other side of the sea, the atmosphere remained tense.

As time passed, more and more lords either shattered the crystals or found an exit, escaping from the labyrinth.

They were quickly picked up and escorted away by Master Rank experts from various countries, who protected them behind the formation.

Strangely, more than fifteen countries entered the Void Realm this time.

To date, none of the lords of the Petrel Nation, Cherry Blossom Nation, and Golden Eagle Kingdom have emerged.

The Master Rank experts from the three great nations all frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"It's also possible that they don't want to waste time and are preparing to use the last bit of time to acquire as many treasures as possible."

"That's right, they have over a hundred people gathered together, which is more than enough to sweep through all the bosses in the maze!"

"It seems these little guys have had quite a haul. I wonder if they'll bring back a few Proof of Hero, or perhaps even more precious treasures."

The Master' furrowed brows relaxed, and a hint of anticipation appeared in their eyes.

On the other side, most of the lords of Heavenly Star Nation had already come out.

The girl in the white dress also escaped smoothly through the exit, a smile on her face, seemingly having gained quite a bit.

Before she could even sense it, the girl in the black dress swiftly flew to her side and brought her back to the Heavenly Star Nation's camp.

"Sister Lingyin, what happened?" Xia Wanyin asked anxiously, "Why are there so many scary auras around here? It feels like a fight is about to break out."

Xia Lingyin took a deep breath and explained it to her.

The girl in the white dress held her breath and listened quietly.

Especially when he heard that Conrad and his men were chasing Shen Xing inside, his brows furrowed immediately.

However, upon hearing that Shen Xing and his group had successfully escaped from the maze and returned to Jiangcheng, they breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Wanyin, let's go back first."

Xia Lingyin said in a deep voice, "A battle between Master might break out here soon. We won't be able to help, and we might even get caught in the crossfire."

"Okay, sister." Xia Wanyin nodded obediently.

Then, the girl in the black dress took Xia Wanyin and boarded a flying vehicle in the distance, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Time passed, and another ten minutes went by.

It is 11:40 a. m., and there are only twenty minutes left before the maze closes.

"Buzz..."

A beam of blue light descended from the sky, and a golden-haired, powerful Western lord emerged from it.

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes lit up simultaneously.

Because this person was the first Golden Eagle Kingdom lord to emerge from the maze!

"Boom!"

The moment the other party appeared, the Master Rank experts from Heavenly Star Nation collectively unleashed their power, preparing to forcibly intercept him.

"How dare you!"

The Master from the Golden Eagle Kingdom roared and charged forward at their fastest speed.

The newly emerged lord turned pale with fright when he saw so many powerful figures rushing towards him with murderous intent.

Just then, the lord of Heavenly Star Nation, who had rushed halfway, suddenly stopped.

As if receiving some kind of instruction, they exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming somewhat strange.

Then, led by Sikong Yuan, they retreated again.

The lord of the Golden Eagle Kingdom was also quickly taken away to be questioned by the other Master.

"Jiekui, what happened in the labyrinth? Did you see Conrad and the others?" a middle-aged lord asked.

The man shook his head, looking bewildered, and said, "No, I explored inside entirely by myself."
