"Stop thinking so much."
Shen Feng murmured.
Thinking is useless; he doesnât have the talent of his elder brother.
Heâs only at the fifth level of the Dao Realm now.
Heâd laugh if he could reach the sixth level.
However, after becoming the Patriarch, he can enjoy one-tenth of the Shen Familyâs annual income every year. Shen Tong relied on this one-tenth to successfully cultivate to the sixth level.
...
Moran City, Prince Xuanâs Mansion.
"Are you saying Hidden Kill has stopped killing?"
Chen Xuan asked Qin Ke in front of him.
Ever since Hidden Kill started targeting the Shen Family, he began paying attention to this matter.
And Qin Ke collected information about it through various means.
"Yes, the Shen Familyâs industries in various provinces have gradually begun to recover."
Qin Ke replied.
The news from the Imperial City is slow, but the Shen Familyâs industries are spread across various provinces.
He inferred this from that point.
Chen Xuan nodded, then looked at Tang Gu beside him, "Didnât you say Hidden Kill wouldnât stop until they wiped out the Shen Family? How long has it been, and itâs over?"
Tang Gu frowned slightly.
He was also puzzled; given his understanding of Hidden Kill, this was very unusual.
So he slowly shook his head, "Even I am not sure about this."
"Forget it if you donât know."
Chen Xuan originally wanted to see how powerful Hidden Kill truly was; now it seems there must be a hidden story.
But this matter should end here.
His identity should also remain undisclosed.
"Hehe!"
"This time Hidden Kill took the blame."
But thatâs quite good, as using the name of Hidden Kill will make things more convenient in the future.
Probably seeing his thoughts, Tang Gu immediately warned him, "Itâs best not to act recklessly; the leader not only possesses formidable strength but also an uncanny ability in deduction beyond your imagination."
"Once he deduces it, you will surely die!"
"That powerful? Compared to the Star Hall Master?"
Chen Xuan immediately asked.
In all of Great Yu, the one he fears most isnât Emperor Yu, since he holds so many identities and always acts cautiously.
But the Star Hall Master... heâs genuinely afraid of this old guy.
He once deduced the presence of the Ning Family in Moran City.
Thatâs terrifying.
Unexpectedly, Tang Gu looked at him as if he were a fool, "Do you know who the Star Hall Master is?"
"Even Emperor Yu fears him to some extent."
"Definitely not as powerful as him."
"But excluding the Star Hall Master, he should rank among the top three in the Eastern Continent."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
Being able to rank in the top three, even without the Star Hall Master, is plenty terrifying.
However, he wasnât too worried as he wasnât from the Supreme Domain, and no information about him had leaked.
Deductions canât be made without evidence, right?
"By the way, Elder Tang, thereâs something I need your help with."
Chen Xuan suddenly said.
"Whatâs it about?"
"I hope you can break the Array on the fifth floor of the Three Judicial Departmentsâ Library Pavilion, not only break it but also make sure they donât discover me."
Instantly, Tang Gu understood his intention.
"You want to silently enter using your Divine Techniques!"
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan didnât deny it.
Heâs been in the Supreme Domain for many years now, but he has no idea about the current situation in the Human Realm.
And he doesnât know which province corresponds to Great Yu in the Human Realm either.
So he plans to use the Godspeed Technique to inspect the Three Judicial Departments of each province.
To find the coordinates of the Human Realm in advance.
Then, using those soon-to-be-destroyed Lower Realms, repair the Human Realm.
After all, even if he doesnât act, either Hidden Kill or Great Yu will intervene.
Although itâs cruel to use one realm to repair another, to be honest... thatâs reality.
Of course, it would be even better if he could find the Heaven-Reaching Bamboo.
"I canât guarantee that!"
Tang Guâs expression turned serious.
The Array on the fifth floor of the Library Pavilion is very complex. Hidden Kill only cracked it with the leaderâs help back then.
"Itâs okay, I also know a bit about Arrays, letâs study it together."
Previously, he sneaked into the rMolan Mansionâs Three Judicial Departments to study there.
But it was too complicated.
Even if he could crack it, he couldnât do so in a few hundred years alone.
And Tang Guâs expertise in Arrays far surpasses his own.
Thatâs why he had this idea.
"Alright, letâs try, but I must say beforehand, I make no guarantees!"
"Fine! Just do your best."
Chen Xuan nodded.
Breaking an Array sometimes requires luck.
"I hope it works!"
He murmured to himself.
Itâs been too long; once he finds the coordinates of the Human Realm, he can feel at ease.
...
That night!
Chen Xuan used Godspeed Technique to bring Tang Gu to the entrance of the fifth floor of the Three Judicial Departments.
"Your understanding of Arrays is impressive."
Tang Gu observed the Array encompassing them, both still in the spatial crack, enduring the immense pressure of space, yet they completed the set-up in mere breaths.
"Youâre too kind, Elder Tang. This Array just serves as a bit of a cover, nothing much. Now itâs up to you."
In truth, Chen Xuan was being modest.
The Myriad Manifestation Skill at higher levels involves many Arrays, but his knowledge is theoretical, lacking practical experience.
Mostly, itâs theory without practice.
But Tang Gu has been researching Arrays for over ten thousand years.
In that aspect, he truly canât compare.
"Alright, no need for flattery; I still canât guarantee success, especially since these Arrays were laid by those at the Dao Realm from Great Yu."
Dao-level spirit cultivators... Tang Guâs eyes revealed anticipation.
He is just one step away from Dao level, but heâs been stuck for tens of thousands of years.
Unable to take that step.
Ultimately, itâs due to lacking talent.
This, he has to admit.
"Sometimes, Spiritual Power isnât everything."
Chen Xuan smiled.
"Youâre quite the sweet talker now."
Tang Gu chuckled, realizing this young one becomes very eloquent when seeking something.
Typical of those who flatter whoever can help them.
"Alright, let me take a look first, Dao-level experts, letâs see how much has changed!"
