Too many questions were only half answered. Although this self-proclaimed Haotian Shura True Monarch had provided him with a lot of new insights, it also brought him considerable confusion. Deep down, he felt that he could not fully trust this being, but at the same time, he could not completely dismiss it either.
Holding onto this contradictory mindset, Ye Feng outwardly appeared devout, striving to act as a follower of this entity. At this moment, Echo got to the point:
"Do not waste the blessing I have given you. I hope you understand that what I want you to do cannot be accomplished without this blessing. Along with the blessing, I will provide you with a map of Titan's Abyss. You can use the map to find the center of the Underground Palace!"
"Find the center? And then what?" Ye Feng knew that things could not possibly end there. The deeper he went, the more dangers he would encounter. Even before being drawn into the Mural World, he and Cheng Ze had already felt the terror within the Underground Palace.
And now, this being wanted him to delve into the center of the Underground Palace. Even with the guidance of that map, the journey would undoubtedly be fraught with hardships. With his current strength, a slight misstep could lead to his demise!
Echo seemed to anticipate his concerns and said directly, "Don't worry. As long as you do not trigger the hidden mechanisms of the Underground Palace, I guarantee you will be safe! I hope you can trust me!"
Trust you? Ye Feng thought to himself, but said aloud, "Naturally, I believe in your capabilities, senior Powerful Being. However, could you elaborate on how powerful this blessing is? The dangers within the Underground Palace are numerous; my concerns should be understandable!"
Echo laughed heartily and replied, "Kid, since I am asking you to do this task, it means I believe in your abilities. Rest assured, while my blessing cannot guarantee that you will act without restraint, at least in this realm, few can rival you! Of course, I must remind you again."
"The blessing is temporary; what matters is that you use your brain. Following my map's guidance to find the center should not be difficult. As long as you act quickly, you can completely ignore the dangers along the way!"
His words were filled with confidence and an undeniable tone. Ye Feng decided not to dwell on this issue any longer and listened as Echo continued: "Once you reach the center, you will discover a hidden chamber. Do not be fooled by its plain appearance; what lies beneath is crucial!"
"What?" Ye Feng instinctively blurted out!
"Beneath the chamber is where Titan is sealed. I am unsure how many of my kin still exist and have not perished, but it should not be many. What I need you to do is to go there and fully release my Divine Consciousness. If there is no response from below, it will prove that all giants have perished!"
"At that point, you can return along the same path and inform me. I can promise that this journey will not be in vain! Once I am free, I will grant you permanent blessings! How about it? This deal is a sure win for you!"
Ye Feng fell into deep thought. On the surface, Echo spoke with unwavering conviction as if everything was under control. However, he understood that if it were truly so simple, there would be no need for someone else to do it! Out of caution, he asked one more question: "Senior is all-powerful; even if sealed away, could it not investigate personally?"
Echo fell into an unexpected silence, seemingly surprised that Ye Feng could suddenly realize this point. However, in reality, everyone was not foolish and understood the situation. After a long pause, he replied calmly, "My Avatar can only exist within the Mural World. If I want to leave, I would have to force my way out."
"What would happen if you did?" Ye Feng knew that this guy was definitely wary of the consequences of forcing his way out, but he still pretended to ask innocently.
On the other end, Echo was probably so angry he could spit blood, but he still patiently said, "Kid, it seems you still harbor some suspicion towards me? Fine, I'll be honest. I can suppress this Underground Palace and ensure that the seal remains intact as long as I do not leave this Mural World!"
"This Mural World is said to be for suppressing the Titan Race, but in reality, it is to guard against outsiders and prevent them from destroying the seal. So it serves as a means to monitor the outside world. The reason I have let most people like you go is that I know individuals like you do not pose a threat!"
"In other words, even if I let people like you in and you cause a ruckus, you still cannot break the seal of the Titan Race. Therefore, over the course of several Ten Thousand Years, I don't mind letting countless people in, even though most of them have never come out!"
After hearing this revelation, Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed he had underestimated this Avatar and misjudged his depth! This attitude of knowing that weaker individuals would undoubtedly perish yet not stopping them and instead watching with pleasure was not something he could accept!
However, considering that the other party had actively absorbed him into this place and saved his life, and now provided him with so many warnings, he really had no need to repay kindness with malice, even though this was also based on the condition that the other party needed him!
Yet he still couldn't understand—after Ten Thousand Years, were there really no better candidates? His current cultivation was only at the late stage of Origin Martial Realm, which should be considered insignificant in this Underground Palace. Was it simply because he was a cultivator that this incredibly powerful Avatar looked upon him?
"Stop guessing; you're right. The greatest danger within the Underground Palace is not physical. As you delve deeper, you will encounter some truly terrifying entities known as Phantom Demons. They are immune to any physical attacks and possess formidable powers!"
"Phantom Demon?" Ye Feng shuddered all over as memories surfaced in his mind about these terrifying creatures!
It was said that Phantom Demons were magical obstacles that slipped through from the void during temporal disturbances. These obstacles were formless and bodiless, essentially existing in a transparent medium without any thoughts. Yet these seemingly harmless beings were immune to all magical damage!
Moreover, they had the ability to erode humans by enveloping them with their transparent bodies and slowly devouring them until nothing remained. No matter how powerful a warrior was, unless they cultivated a strong enough Divine Soul, they could eliminate these Phantom Demons using mental power.
In fact, even if you were a Martial Saint, you would still meet a fatal end! And Ye Feng just happened to possess an exceptionally strong Divine Soul!
Upon hearing this, he finally understood why the other party had chosen him!
Echo then said, "I have encountered many individuals, but none have surpassed the challenge posed by Phantom Demon. It can be said that this Underground Palace is difficult to survive even for an ordinary Martial Saint. Therefore, until now, I still cannot fully comprehend the aura of that giant!"
"This doesn't make sense. Since you are here to guard against those Ancient Demon Gods, can't you even sense their Divine Consciousness?" Ye Feng expressed his confusion.
Echo replied helplessly, "It's not as easy as you think. Suppressing those giants with Innate Divine Strength is not simple. In the Ancient Era, I and several immortals formed a seal using divine powers, which inherently has its own restrictions. These restrictions do not differentiate between primary and secondary; even if I wanted to probe, I cannot!"
"Only by personally going to the center of the seal and using my power to stimulate the murderous aura of the Ancient Demon Gods can I understand the specific situation! At that time, my role was merely to observe the outside world! My Avatar remains in this Mural World because the mural possesses the power to absorb souls!"
I see! At this point, Ye Feng finally understood the general situation. The ancient Great Sages did not believe that any ancient giant possessed the power to emerge from their seal, so their focus needed to be on changes in the outside world!
After all, what can never be predicted is the future's pattern! From this perspective, it was indeed a wise strategy for the so-called Haotian Shura True Monarch to trap his Avatar in the Mural World as a barrier.
If this Avatar wanted to force its way out, it would likely lead to self-destruction of the seal!
This answer was confirmed by Echo shortly after!
"The Mural World is originally my Supreme Treasure. My Avatar has fused with the Supreme Treasure, and it is also linked to the seal. If I were to break out of the Mural World while the ancient giant has not completely perished, it would result in a failure of the seal. Therefore, I have no way out!"
Ye Feng suddenly realized! Echo continued, "So, I can only place my hopes on you. I wonder if you are willing to accept?"
Instead of demanding, he was asking for help. To Ye Feng, this felt like a soft approach; if he were to refuse, it seemed unlikely that they would allow him to leave this Mural World. Thus, this feigned friendliness was merely a tactic to lower his guard!
Ye Feng sighed, thinking that no matter which world one goes to, there are always schemes and intrigues. Even if this fellow might come from the same place as him, he could not escape being calculated against!
However, upon careful consideration, he originally intended to explore the secrets of this Underground Palace. Perhaps he could obtain some treasures that would drive Blue Stream Villa and the Master of the Flowing Cloud Villa crazy—there must be great benefits involved. He urgently needed power right now; having the backing of this Divine Sect,
wasn't it a fortuitous opportunity?
Biting his teeth, Ye Feng nodded and said, "Alright! I am willing to take a trip for you, senior! However, there are some things I would like to clarify with you in person!"
Seeing him agree so decisively, Echo was overjoyed. Naturally, he had no objection to what Ye Feng wanted to clarify and quickly replied, "Go ahead!"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Although I don't know how powerful the strength you bestow is, it shouldn't be too weak. Based on this, I would like to act according to my own nature and not rush to the center. I hope you can give me a bit more freedom and time. However, I can assure you!"
"I will definitely go to the center to help you investigate! As for the outcome, if I return to this place and tell you, it means the giant has perished. If I do not return, it means the giant has not perished! How does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Echo fell silent. Ye Feng slightly raised the corners of his mouth; his previous words were carefully thought out and completely considered from his perspective regarding safety. With this person's blessing, Ye Feng certainly did not want to seek death so soon!
He had not yet gotten to the bottom of things; naturally, he could not believe everything this guy said just based on words!
Echo seemed to understand Ye Feng's thoughts as well. However, he had no choice but to agree since Ye Feng was the one who controlled his existence. Although he was immensely powerful, being trapped in this world for ten thousand years had weakened him considerably. If he remained trapped for another ten thousand years,
by the time all the Titans were dead, he estimated he wouldn't be much better off!
Having realized this, Echo gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! I promise you that I won't restrict your time or freedom as long as you can ultimately help me find out the results. What I promised you will also be fulfilled!"
