Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Book 2: Chapter 15: The First Mansion of Heaven and Earth



The agreed meeting place was at a tavern.

Jiang Wang easily found the location and knocked on the door of the VIP room number one.

A voice came from inside. "Come in."

It was the voice of Zhen Wudi.

Jiang Wang pushed the door and entered, feeling a sense of familiarity at first sight.

That trembling fat, eyes squinted into a slit, and the sleazy smile, who else could it be if not Zhen Wudi, with whom he had sparred countless times in the Illusory Void Realm?

Although his appearance in the Illusory Void Realm was disguised, this kind of temperament and volume were not easily imitated.

Despite this, Jiang Wang still cautiously asked, "Chong Xuan Sheng?"

"Dugu brother?" The young man also asked at the same time.

Both of them laughed at the same time.

However, Chong Xuan Sheng's laughter grew louder and louder, his fat face trembling with each laugh, "Hahaha, you always act so deep and mysterious, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! You even disguised yourself as a handsome man in the Illusory Void Realm! And, you're actually so old! Hahaha..."

His image was slightly different from that in the Illusory Void Realm, but his annoying demeanor remained the same.

It was very familiar.

Of course, Jiang Wang's real appearance was indeed not as handsome as his image in the Illusory Void Realm. He had been traveling all the way, dusty and focused on cultivation, without the opportunity to groom himself. Moreover, the lifespan consumed by the Bone Escape Technique had turned his hair white.

The contrast in appearance was now quite stark.

That being said, this fat guy was really too annoying...

Jiang Wang curled his lips and said indifferently, "Aren't you also not as cute as you were in the Illusory Void Realm?"

"You don't understand." Chong Xuan Sheng said carelessly, "If you want to disguise, you have to do it thoroughly. Who would have thought that Zhen Wudi, who is powerful but unkempt in the Illusory Void Realm, would be so handsome in reality?"

It was unclear where this confidence came from.

Could it be that in Qi Country, fat is considered beautiful? He hadn't heard of it.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but remind him, "If you keep shouting like this, everyone will know who you are."

Chong Xuan Sheng laughed again, "This tavern, this street, they all belong to my Chong Xuan family! Who can hear?"

Being able to occupy a street in the city of Tianfu, where the powerful are gathered, the foundation of the Chong Xuan family was more terrifying than Jiang Wang had imagined.

But why did he feel so annoying even when he was showing off his wealth?

Jiang Wang reminded himself again and again that this was not a sword fighting platform. So he smiled modestly.

Chong Xuan Sheng continued, "I was worried that you wouldn't recognize me!"

Jiang Wang was confused, "You're quite close to your fat appearance!"

"I don't like what you're saying! Look here!" Chong Xuan Sheng leaned forward, "Look closely. In the Illusory Void Realm, I have monolid eyes. But in reality, I have crescent-shaped eyes!"

"Haha, really?" Jiang Wang gave a dry laugh, "I see, I see. Sit back down, don't get excited."

Only then did Chong Xuan Sheng lean back into his specially made large chair, comfortably saying, "Let's talk about the Tianfu Secret Realm first!"

The two of them were already very familiar with each other in the Illusory Void Realm, so there was no sense of strangeness when they met in reality.

Jiang Wang immediately adopted a posture of attentive listening.

"So, Dugu brother..."

Jiang Wang interrupted, "Are you still calling me Dugu brother?"

His original intention was just to disguise his identity in the Illusory Void Realm and let Chong Xuan Sheng call him by his real name.

"Then..." Chong Xuan Sheng hesitated for a moment, "Uncle Jiang?"

"..." Jiang Wang's voice squeezed out from between his teeth, "I'm only eighteen this year!"

His birthday was in January, and it had quietly passed on the road.

In the past, there would be Linghe and others celebrating for him, having a meal and drinking together. But now...

That day was no different from the other days on the road.

In fact, if it weren't for Chong Xuan Sheng mentioning his age, he almost forgot that he had another birthday.

"Ahaha." This time it was Chong Xuan Sheng's turn to give a dry laugh, "Your hair is dyed quite stylishly."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Wang didn't bother to explain to this annoying guy, he just urged, "Let's talk about the Tianfu Secret Realm first. I still don't know the rules!"

"The Tianfu Secret Realm is open, and our Chong Xuan family has three places. As the most outstanding talent of the current generation of the Chong Xuan family, I am responsible for the future of the Chong Xuan family. This exploration is to form an exploration team with me as the core. Let me first tell you what can be gained from the Tianfu Secret Realm and why it attracts so many people. Although there are many rumors outside, not all of them are true."

Chong Xuan Sheng said comfortably, "Tianfu, Tianfu, is the mansion of the heavens! Do you know why the old man of Tianfu is so famous? Because he has all five mansions, and from each mansion, he has obtained divine powers! Therefore, his Inner Palace is called Tianfu, meaning the first mansion of heaven and earth.

He once created a record of killing three Outer Tower Realm masters in the Inner Palace Realm, and was considered invincible in the Inner Palace Realm.

Unfortunately, he disappeared after leaving the Tianfu Secret Realm. People all say that he went to roam the vast void.

But no matter what, no one has seen him since.

And people speculate that he has a method that allows one to obtain divine powers at the Inner Palace Realm, and that method is hidden in the Tianfu Secret Realm! And only those with cultivation below the Soaring Dragon Realm can enter the Tianfu Secret Realm."

"After so many years, so many people have come out of the Tianfu Secret Realm, someone must have obtained that method, right?" Jiang Wang asked, "Then why hasn't it been spread out?"

"Because all those who leave the Tianfu Secret Realm don't remember what happened in the Tianfu Secret Realm." Chong Xuan Sheng said, "But those who get opportunities in the Tianfu Secret Realm, as long as they don't die, later obtain divine powers in the Inner Palace Realm."

"So, no one can clearly say what obstacles there are in the Tianfu Secret Realm, what it tests, and what dangers there are?""The only thing we can be certain of is that the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Over the years, the most number of people who have managed to come out alive from exploring the secret realm is seven. At the least, there was not a single survivor," Zhong Xuan Sheng said seriously, "But no one knows what the danger is."

"..." Jiang Wang was somewhat speechless, "Then, why would the Zhong Xuan Clan allow you, the most outstanding talent of this generation, to participate in such a dangerous exploration activity? Are they afraid that you won't be able to obtain divine abilities in the Inner Palace Realm? The secret techniques of your Zhong Xuan Clan are no less than divine abilities."

He looked at the chubby man with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Could it be that there is more than one 'most outstanding talent' in the current generation of the Zhong Xuan Clan?"

"Uh..." Zhong Xuan Sheng unashamedly said, "There might possibly be a few. So, there is inevitably some competition. Of course, the main reason is that I am not afraid of danger, eager to make progress, willing to climb to the top, and dare to challenge!"

"You're here now, you're not planning to leave, are you?" Zhong Xuan Sheng asked nervously, "This spot is extremely precious, many people would kill for it and still not get it!"

He wasn't wrong about that.

Although the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm was dangerous, the rewards were also extremely high. Those who could obtain divine ability seeds were absolutely powerful individuals within the Inner Palace Realm. The difference between a divine Inner Palace and a regular Inner Palace was almost like a whole level.

A powerful divine Inner Palace could even compete with strong individuals in the Outer Tower Realm.

Looking at the world, how many people could confidently say that they could obtain divine abilities in the Inner Palace Realm?

Of course, Jiang Wang would not back down. Danger was never the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing was always the absence of hope.

And an opportunity to achieve a divine Inner Palace, without a doubt, could light up the dim light of hope.

"So, what do I need to give in exchange for this precious spot?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhong Xuan Sheng didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "I have a Heart Demon Oath. The team that I form with me as the core must swear on the Heart Demon Oath before entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. After entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, the first one who gets the chance to obtain a divine ability seed must give it to me. Only then can they seek their own opportunities."

This was reasonable.

There were no gains without pains in this world. If you wanted to get something, you had to give something in return.

Jiang Wang didn't hesitate and directly said, "I agree."

...

Just then, there was a commotion outside the door.

A voice shouted, "Get out of the way! Let me see who is so capable that they could snatch my spot!"
