Chen Tian faced the system's words, and had to say that the system was truly powerful, capable of such things. But what did it have to do with him? He couldn't enter the Dark Realm right now!
"System, is there any way for me to enter the Dark Realm?"
"Ding, analyzing the world structure of the Dark Realm."
"Ding, please host find an item from the Dark Realm. This system will find a way for the host to enter the Dark Realm."
The system quickly provided an answer. Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Having a method was better than having no method at all. Chen Tian's figure headed towards the city. He had just left the city and now had to go back. What kind of karma was this? Black Cloud City, Chen Tian had arrived here for the second time. Chen Tian knew exactly where to find the Dark Realm items the system mentioned. Most items from the Dark Realm were sold at auctions or in shops. Chen Tian just needed to buy them. As for whether they were Dark Realm items, the system would identify them itself.
Chen Tian wasn't sure of his familiarity with Black Cloud City yet, so he directly opened the map. The entire city's buildings and layout were clear. Chen Tian spotted a shop, where there might be items related to the Dark Realm. Chen Tian headed towards the shop. Dark Dragon Shop. This was a small shop. Compared to other shops, this one could be considered tiny, with only a few shelves. In the center of the shop, a young man lying on a recliner gently fanned himself. The young man sensed someone's arrival and said indifferently, "Look for yourself if you like something, pick it yourself. No haggling!"
A proprietor with a personality, Chen Tian thought. Chen Tian went to the shelves, his mouth twitching. There were only three shelves in total, with only four items combined. Each item was outrageously expensive. Would anyone actually buy these things?
Chen Tian's eyes were filled with doubt. Was this owner trying to scam people? You're sure people will buy these things, and you don't even know their uses. What's the point of us buying them?
Chen Tian was overwhelmed. The four items were: a fan, a short saber, a withered branch, and a crescent-shaped seed. Each item was priced at 9,900 Time-Space Coins.
Those were Time-Space Coins! Chen Tian couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss, you're robbing me! That many Time-Space Coins, even the earliest players wouldn't have them."
"What does that have to do with me? I opened a shop to sell things. Buy it if you want, leave if you don't."
"Uh!!"
Chen Tian was rendered speechless by the young man's words. If you have money, buy it; if you don't, get lost. So realistic, so unique.
"Host, identification complete. The host should purchase that short saber. This system also advises the host to buy the withered branch and the crescent seed together. These two items will be of great help to the system and to you."
The system's voice sounded in his mind. Chen Tian's expression was calm. For other players, the price was indeed exorbitant. But Chen Tian was different. Chen Tian had the ability to modify data and change Time-Space Coins to an infinite quantity. The first thing Chen Tian picked up was the short saber. The saber was only a few feet long, half its appearance. The blade was black, with black patterns wrapped around it. The black patterns seemed to be connected like nerves. Holding the saber, Chen Tian felt an unusual aura.
This saber had an extraordinary origin, undoubtedly with the aura of the Dark Realm. Even Chen Tian's Divine Eye couldn't discern the material used to forge the saber. The young man glanced at Chen Tian's choice of the saber, his lips curling up secretly. Chen Tian didn't notice any of this.
"As expected, you still chose them? Not bad for you."
The young man murmured inwardly. The second item in Chen Tian's hand was a withered branch. The withered yellow branch was lifeless, like a dead tree. Holding it, Chen Tian didn't dare to use any force, for fear of crushing the branch the next second.
After all, the branch in his hand gave Chen Tian the feeling of being as brittle as a potato chip, easily snapping with a crunch. The third item was a blue seed, a crescent-shaped seed. It was entirely azure. Blue patterns converged on the seed. A closer look would reveal that the seed's patterns were like the ocean. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Could it be that there's an ocean within this seed?"
Chen Tian was puzzled. He could only think in this direction. The system chimed in, "Indeed, this stone is called an Ocean Stone. It can form its own ocean within the body. It is currently sealed and needs to be unsealed before use."
"And the branch is a remnant of the Third World Tree, which is useful to this system."
This was the first time Chen Tian had seen such peculiar things, things he had never heard of. Neither Chen Tian's first nor third life had any memory of these two items. Yet, the system knew.
Chen Tian went to the counter and said directly, "Boss, I want these three items. Here are the Time-Space Coins, I'll transfer them to you directly."
"Alright!"
The young man remained as calm as ever. In his eyes, these Time-Space Coins were insignificant. Chen Tian wasn't sure of the boss's origin, but the information from his Divine Eye earlier indicated he was an NPC. Chen Tian didn't think this NPC was so simple, and he wasn't interested in studying an NPC.
Chen Tian took the items and left. As Chen Tian walked out of the small shop, the young man opened his eyes and said softly, "He has taken those three items, but not the last one."
"It doesn't matter. It's not time for that last item yet. He'll come to take it when the time is right. Let's leave here."
A figure appeared behind the young man. The figure took a step forward, and the next second, the entire shop disappeared with it.
Chen Tian arrived at a hotel in Black Cloud City and chose a room. He didn't know how long it would take to enter the Dark Realm this time, so Chen Tian needed a place to stay.
"System, begin."
Chen Tian said softly. The short saber in Chen Tian's hand shattered, turning into countless starlight and entering Chen Tian's heart. A vortex appeared behind Chen Tian.
"The channel has been constructed. Please host enter the Dark Realm as soon as possible."
Chen Tian stepped into the vortex without hesitation. The vortex closed, and Chen Tian was once again in the Dark Realm.
Dark Realm. At this moment, above the Dark Realm, a vortex appeared. Chen Tian emerged from the vortex. Chen Tian looked around. It seemed to be a random teleportation, but it was better than not being able to enter.
"System, what is the target of the mission?"
"Please host explore on your own. This system needs to upgrade and will be unable to respond to the host during this period."
Chen Tian was looking forward to the system's upgrade. Every upgrade brought him great help. However, he was a bit troubled by not knowing the target this time. Chen Tian's first thought was to ask Heavenly Dao. But he recalled that if he met Heavenly Dao, it might just drive him away again. Forget it, forget it.
Chen Tian still remembered the previous lesson. If he were teleported out again, he wouldn't be able to get back in.
Chen Tian had learned his lesson this time. He shielded his body's Heavenly Dao power, changed his appearance, demeanor, and origin. This way, Heavenly Dao would not be able to detect Chen Tian at all.
Even if he stood right in front of it, Heavenly Dao wouldn't be able to tell that this person was Chen Tian.
Chen Tian's abilities were very strong, capable of concealing even Heavenly Dao.
This was only a level one ability. Chen Tian still didn't know the upper limit of his abilities.
Chen Tian walked forward. The ground beneath his feet was a plain. Who knew where this place was.
