Chen Tian and Lin Huang locked eyes. Chen Tian looked at Lin Huang and said sternly, "Lin Huang, I want to know the origin of the other evil spirit energy within you. Where does it come from?"
Chen Tian had detected an uncontrollable evil spirit energy within Lin Huang, which was completely different from Lin Huang's own evil spirit energy. Moreover, it was the unique evil spirit energy of an Evil General. Chen Tian had not sensed it incorrectly. His main body appearing here proved the gravity of the situation. The Divine Spirit Realm had not yet fallen, the time had not arrived, and the seal had not been broken. Why would an Evil General from the world behind the Divine Spirit Realm appear? Chen Tian had to become serious.
Or perhaps the entire rear of the Divine Spirit Realm had been infiltrated by the Evil Spirit Race. However, the situation on the Northern Yuan Continent did not suggest this. The areas where the Evil Spirit Race had passed through were usually desolate wastelands. The Northern Yuan Continent still had living beings, so it didn't seem to have been infiltrated. This left only one possibility: a wounded Evil General was recovering his injuries in this world, and not just any Evil General, but a high-ranking one. Back on the battlefield of the Divine Spirit Realm, the injuries and deaths of Evil Generals were similar to those on this side. Who knew if any Evil Generals had escaped to this world for healing back then.
Lin Huang saw that Chen Tian had accurately identified his predicament and then said, "The Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the Heavenly Secret Realm. That injured Evil General is healing there. However, due to the Heavenly Secret Realm, he cannot come out. He can only wait for someone to enter, so he can attach the evil spirit energy to an item. The person who takes it will be corrupted and assimilated. Tian Wuzi's cultivation technique mutated because of this. Ten thousand years ago, I was severely injured, and I hid in the Heavenly Secret Realm to heal. It was the second-generation pavilion master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion who helped me open it."
"At that time, the other party did not pass this matter down and kept it to himself. I remained in the Heavenly Secret Realm for ten thousand years. When I awoke, I sensed the aura of the Evil Spirit Race. We fought for a few rounds, but I was no match. Influenced by him, the evil spirit energy affected my control. Fortunately, I transformed myself into an Evil Spirit Race member and maintained my sanity, thus avoiding assimilation."
"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the Heavenly Secret Realm?"
Chen Tian looked into the distance. Originally, Chen Tian had not intended to intervene in this world. Now, it seemed he had to. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Secret Realm were to open a few more times, the people assimilated by the Evil Spirit Race would eventually destroy the Northern Yuan Continent from its roots, without the Evil General needing to act personally. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Alright, thank you for the information. If you wish to reclaim your position, I can help you. I have a cultivation technique here that can allow you to conceal your aura and alter your appearance."
"If you walk out looking like this, you'll be mistaken for a monster."
Chen Tian shook his head. He truly didn't understand why the system had assigned such a task. The system had suddenly appeared, popped up a mission, and then gone silent. It hadn't even mentioned any rewards, and this mission was mandatory. Chen Tian couldn't refuse, so he had to accept.
However, Chen Tian was looking forward to the reward. Such a mission must come with risks, but with great risks, there were great rewards.
Chen Tian walked up to Lin Huang and placed a finger on his forehead. The ability of "Conceal the Sky and Cross the Sea" and the ever-changing cultivation technique entered Lin Huang's mind. Chen Tian didn't need to elaborate on "Conceal the Sky and Cross the Sea"; it was a bug-like ability that could mimic any information, aura, and appearance. Of course, it required a level higher than level two. Chen Tian only imparted level one.
It could only conceal the aura. The "Ever-Changing" cultivation technique was a system reward that could alter one's appearance to a degree that no means could detect. As long as Lin Huang didn't use his full strength, he wouldn't expose any flaws. After Chen Tian finished imparting the knowledge, he turned and disappeared into the forest.
The Heavenly Secret Pavilion, as the largest force in the Central Domain, was not a place Chen Tian could act rashly in during his weakened state, as it would affect his main body and clones. Chen Tian wanted to find a secure way to enter the secret realm. Within the secret realm, Chen Tian had the means to kill the Evil General, but he didn't want to alert the enemy from the outside.
Chen Tian arrived at Cloud Emperor City. The "Conceal the Sky and Cross the Sea" ability was activated, and Chen Tian's appearance and aura became ordinary. His clone was still in Cloud Emperor City, and it would be awkward if they met. Chen Tian didn't want to use his original appearance; it was not good to be seen. Twins? It could easily lead to misconceptions.
Chen Tian walked on the streets of Cloud Emperor City, sensing the aura of the Evil Spirit Race. It was very faint, only a trace. It seemed they had not been infiltrated yet, only attached to people's bodies or items.
Chen Tian walked to his left. According to the information provided by the Heavenly Dao, the area to his left was where the Heavenly Secret Pavilion recruited disciples. Chen Tian's goal was to enter the Heavenly Secret Pavilion first and then gradually make his way into the Heavenly Secret Realm. A month's time was sufficient.
One day outside was one month inside the Northern Yuan Continent. This was the time flow Chen Tian and the Heavenly Dao had jointly created to allow those people to grow rapidly. The fusion of Immortal and Martial arts was for the people of the Immortal Realm to temper themselves in another vortex, which included Chen Tian's clone. The two worlds were different, but their levels were the same.
They had to be balanced, otherwise, the fusion of two different forces vying against each other would create an explosion that would shatter the body.
Chen Tian arrived in front of a pavilion with the words "Heavenly Secret" written on it. The character "Heaven" was golden, and "Secret" was silver. The combination of gold and silver fonts gave it a special feel.
Chen Tian's dual pupils opened, and streams of golden and silver energy flowed from the two characters – it was the Heavenly Secret. Under the divine pupils, nothing could escape, not even the Heavenly Secret's luck.
With his divine pupils reaching level three, he had records of many things in the myriad worlds, let alone worlds lower in dimension than the Divine Spirit Realm. He could see through them with a glance.
Upon entering the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, a middle-aged man approached Chen Tian and said, "Young sir, are you here to participate in the recruitment?"
"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion recruits disciples once every hundred years. Would you like to learn more about it, young sir?"
The young man looked at Chen Tian, who directly refused, "No need. I already know the information you have. It's not useful."
Chen Tian had no interest in such information brokers. The Heavenly Dao Realm had provided all the information about the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to Chen Tian. To Chen Tian, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had no outward appearance; he was perfectly clear about what was inside.
He proceeded to the second floor, where the Heavenly Secret Pavilion recruited disciples. The method of recruitment was very special: it didn't look at cultivation level or aptitude, only at luck. This was a tradition passed down through generations, and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion couldn't change it.
Chen Tian was confident that with his luck and the Heavenly Dao, entering the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would be very easy, effortless.
On the second floor, a purple light radiated from the center of the hall. A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd: "It's actually purple luck! Let's see how many rings the Heavenly Secret has, and what color they are."
An old man took out a rhombus-shaped crystal and gently placed it in the young man's palm. Four purple halos appeared on the crystal. The old man chuckled, "Hahaha, I didn't expect our Heavenly Secret Pavilion to recruit such a disciple. Young man, wait over there. After the inspection, I will personally take you to see an elder. Your aptitude is sufficient to become an elder's disciple."
"Thank you, sir."
The young man was overjoyed. He had taken a skyrocket to success. How could he not be happy?
