Chapter 302 - 155: I Want to Test the Weight of Tier Nine

Upon hearing Luo Ran’s words.

Shen Fei paused with the teacup in his hand, "Isn’t the Ancient Secret Realm a somewhat special place similar to a dungeon?"

"Moreover, I’ve never heard of any forces within the Ancient Secret Realm having an influence on the outside world."

Because of his Professional Advancement task, he had used Breaking Abyss Army’s channels to gather a lot of information about the Ancient Secret Realms.

To avoid being completely in the dark when the time comes.

He had come to understand a portion of what the Ancient Secret Realm was about.

But there are no records of the Ancient Secret Realm affecting Blue Star.

To Blue Star,

The Ancient Secret Realms that appear now are considered special dungeons.

Although dying there means real death,

Compared to the Abyss, which can invade Blue Star, the Ancient Secret Realm never has the power to affect the outside world.

And the key is that if those inside could ever influence the outside world, the impact would be massive.

If it weren’t for the unique rules there, where power is not that important,

The people in the Ancient Secret Realm could very well be above Tier Ten.

Even Tier Ten wouldn’t be able to make it out alive.

Luo Ran nodded, "For now, Blue Star’s research on the Ancient Secret Realm indeed reflects this.

But if we delve deeper, the Secret Realm was created by forces beyond, to counteract the Abyss and the Void."

"It’s like how dungeons might establish Pollution Cores potentially leading to Abyss invasions."

"So is it possible that the forces that created the Ancient Secret Realm can influence Blue Star through it..."

Shen Fei showed a slight understanding on his face.

If that’s the case, it does make sense.

Plus, according to his previous thoughts, if the Ancient Secret Realm was created by a stronger existence to train and filter out potential individuals,

Does it mean there are actually ways to connect?

If not, why train and filter them out?

Just for them to combat the Abyss invasion on Blue Star, it can’t be that simple.

Thinking in this way,

It seems normal for some forces to be able to connect to Blue Star, otherwise why train them?

And he suddenly remembered that a reward in his Professional Promotion Task was the control of the Ancient Secret Realm [Battle of Zhulu].

If he could grasp control, then who controlled the Ancient Secret Realm before?

Considering the recent turmoil in the Abyss, could it be that in a higher-tier battlefield,

some situations have changed, causing shifts not only in the Abyss but also in the higher-tier forces resisting it.

"Which force is it?"

"The Bright Church Court. During the Age of Gods, it was a major power in the West.

Whenever an Ancient Secret Realm opened in the past, many of the Church’s members would join that force."

"It’s probably due to this influence over so many years that there’s now an effect."

Luo Ran did not hide anything, considering Shen Fei’s current strength, he deserved to know these things.

If it hadn’t happened before, she might have to find an opportunity, but it just happened now.

So she told Shen Fei.

"The Bright Church Court..."

Hearing the name, Shen Fei immediately thought of the Court.

"Hmm, I once faced off with the Bright Church Court during the Age of Gods, their power is somewhat different from the Church Professionals."

"And while fighting Isabella, I sensed within the Court, there was power from the Bright Church Court."

Luo Ran took a sip of tea to soothe her throat and continued, "Just to avoid alerting the enemy, I didn’t probe further."

"Just gave Isabella a thrashing, looted their treasury, killed two Heavenly Pride, and left."

Listening to Luo Ran’s bandit-like actions, Shen Fei couldn’t help but laugh, "This time we’ve really torn the mask off with the Court."

"Our relationship was never good, during the Great Cataclysm, these guys used the Abyss invasion under the guise of God’s punishment."

"And they manipulated countless people, even Wu Xia had some Heavenly Pride forcibly taken, brainwashed into being the Church’s Guard Knights."

"Moreover, in today’s Blue Star, vast and sparsely populated, every nation seemingly tight-knit but in reality isolated islands."

"Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so late in discovering the Court’s problem."

Shen Fei digested the information shared by Luo Ran, "So from now on, the Court will be our enemy?"

"Yes, with the Ice Abyss, be more cautious, if those guys from the Court show up, they’re likely up to no good."

Shen Fei was puzzled, "Then why not exclude them?"

"Because of Europe and America, they’ve always been in league with the Court, honestly I suspect they already knew."

"Otherwise, they wouldn’t have so quickly erased various information about their Talented Professionals from intelligence channels."

Luo Ran rubbed her forehead, "Like the Northern Kingdom, now almost half devastated because of the Ice Abyss.

In the past, the East and West’s camps were usually us and the North, America, Europe, and the Court."

"Now with an ally nearly incapacitated, our pressure in the Ice Abyss is much greater."

"That’s not the issue, I’m more worried about the Battle of Zhulu."

Shen Fei shook his head, mentioned his plan before the upcoming big match and heading to the Ice Abyss.

To go to Corpse Stiff Abyss and try killing a Celestial Corpse to test his current strength.

"Are you crazy? The gap between Tier Nine and Tier Eight is like a chasm.

You think just because you helped Han Min kill Flaming Celestial Demon Dragon, you can go kill Tier Nine on your own?"

Luo Ran frowned at Shen Fei’s words.

Tier Nine and Tier Eight are worlds apart.

Shen Fei implied he’d go alone without aid, a risky move that could end disastrously.

By then, she might not even be able to rescue him in time.

"If the Celestial Corpse senses other Tier Nine auras, it definitely won’t show up."

"Only by going alone can I lure it out, and master, I’m confident."

"Moreover, I’m not going immediately."

Shen Fei smiled, reassuring Luo Ran; perhaps it seemed risky from her perspective.

But to Shen Fei, this was a situation where he had a fair chance.

And he wasn’t wrong.

If the Celestial Corpse sensed other presences, it surely wouldn’t reveal itself.

His current strength is still too low, and he’s no fool.

Only by going alone could Shen Fei draw it out.

Luo Ran watched Shen Fei for a moment, her gaze unsettling him, before saying, "Alright, you’re not one to throw your life away."

Luo Ran knew Shen Fei had some hidden cards, like in Shencheng City, when he revealed unexpected trump cards that even surprised her.

Just the transformation into True Martial Prince,

Was enough to astonish Luo Ran; previously she felt her Talent wasn’t any weaker than Shen Fei’s Talent.

But now, it seems far behind.
