"What do you think of this Wen Zhong? He seems to be more than just a simple information broker, given his knowledge about the matters within Penglai Palace."Xu Guang asked.
Jin Buhuan snapped back to reality, pondered, and then said, "There are quite a few people in Hongze doing this kind of information business, but not many are famous."
That’s quite normal, as the business of information brokering inherently requires secrecy.
Being too famous would be intolerable to the Holy Lands.
"Moreover, strong factions typically have their own sources of information. Selling out useless information happens all the time, so I suspect... Wen Zhong might be from some super faction."
Xu Guang furrowed his brows.
He recalled his previous encounter with Mr. Thirteen, who appeared worldly but knew all the answers to his inquiries clearly.
The strongest forces in the Eastern Domain of Hongze are Tianyun Court, Moon God Manor, and Guang’an Temple. These three forces all carry the Emperor’s legacy. Beneath them are Penglai Palace, the Northern Polar Six Courts, Fu Feng Island, and Jing Shou Studio. These six forces are the supreme cocoon robe legacies of the Eight Boundaries.
As for the Holy Lands with the legacy of Saint Kings and Saints, they are as numerous as cattle across the nearly twenty thousand Daozhous of the Eastern Domain of Hongze.
"The only forces I can think of, which could easily know what’s going on inside Penglai Palace, are those three Emperor legacy forces. The cultivation technique characteristics of Guang’an Temple are very distinct, so we can rule them out. Tianyun Court adheres to destiny and wouldn’t engage in infiltration, yet Moon God Manor..."
Xu Guang listened to Jin Buhuan’s analysis and furrowed his brow.
Moon God Manor is a very mysterious force, both righteous and wicked, often linked with countless disaster figures responsible for upheavals in Hongze.
To Xu Guang, it feels like playing a game in a past life, where his teammates always fiddled with something unknown.
"Forget it, who they are doesn’t concern us. At most, we cooperate with them this one time."
Xu Guang said.
...
The terrain of Meteor Valley is unusual.
Standing by the thousand-zhang precipice gazing down, the valley’s outline clearly forms a colossal, irregular ring-shaped crater, as if the earth were struck by the giant hammer of a Celestial God.
The valley walls are not ordinary mountain rock but have a bizarre appearance, as if instantaneously melted by extreme heat and rapidly cooled, rendering them glass-like, smooth as a mirror, yet filled with intricate, deep cracks.
Under dim daylight or moonlight reflection, these glass-like rock walls refract ghostly blue, dark purple, and even molten gold rays, shifting and uncertain, like congealed starry tear stains.
The legend says that in ancient times, a star deviated from its track, burned across the mighty sky, and fell into the vast earth.
This is the origin’s legend of Meteor Valley, rumored that this place housed powers different from Hongze’s rules when the stars fell, possibly offering a chance for sanctification.
Countless Peak of Second Nirvana masters have traveled miles here over the years in search of an opportunity for sanctification.
The valley is perpetually shrouded in a layer of sparse but omnipresent, shimmering silver-blue mist.
At this moment, several figures stood at the valley’s end, their silhouettes cryptic in the silver-blue mist.
Suddenly.
A massive rumbling arose across the sky.
Soon, a gigantic, fiery-red furnace appeared, overshadowing the sky as if it meant to refine the entire world, covering the whole sky above Meteor Valley.
"Sun True Furnace?"
The Sun True Furnace, Tianyun Court’s strongest asset, an Emperor’s Divine Weapon.
"No, it’s just an imitation!"
"Yet it carries the power of a Holy Artifact!"
"Someone forcibly entered the valley?"
Exclamations and shocked voices echoed.
However, soon, as if a mysterious presence existed within the valley, it did not directly act. Instead, the silver-blue mist surged, extinguishing the seemingly eternal flames on the Sun True Furnace.
A young man in red attire briefly flashed through the mist, blood spurting onto the Sun True Furnace.
"Failed!"
"Meteor Valley has always been the most mysterious place in Penglai Eastern Domain, rumored to offer opportunities for sanctification. But after all these years, they haven’t appeared. Could it be that the valley’s chance was taken long ago?"
...
In an inconspicuous corner of Meteor Valley.
Xu Guang quietly watched the distant inexplicable confrontation, his brows tightly knit.
The young man in red with the Sun True Furnace imitation, at least a master on par with Yu Qing, wielding a Holy Artifact, yet was crushed...
Entering deeper into Meteor Valley seems more difficult than imagined.
It appears one can only silently wait for the Secret Realm to change itself and open a portal.
Contemplating this, Xu Guang regained his calm.
After an uncertain amount of time.
A veiled woman emerged from the shadows.
"Xu Guang?"
"Indeed, who are you?"
Xu Guang looked at her, his mind speculative.
"A friend of Thirteen and Wen Zhong."
Just as expected.
"Thirteen said you might acquire the Refining Pattern Master’s legacy. How confident are you?"
The woman didn’t bother with pleasantries, directly questioning.
Xu Guang:...
For a moment, he suddenly felt that Jin Buhuan’s previous guess was wrong.
Thirteen met him once and said he might get the legacy, possibly having seen something.
Inexplicably, he thought of Yan Zhen, who seemed capable of seeing future events as well.
"Honestly speaking, if I could access the core legacy, I’d have fifty percent confidence."
Xu Guang replied.
He was not speaking rashly. As a Qi Refiner at level 30, he could transfer careers at any time. If he could access the transfer medium, the transfer would surely succeed.
But for safety’s sake, he said he only had fifty percent confidence.
