Old Master flew in front of Wei Chen, his gaze fixed intently on him. "Friend, are you not afraid that we, the Temple of Martial Arts, might stab you in the back? After all, the Stellar Technique is an enemy of the entire Endless Divine Realm."
Wei Chen smiled lightly. "Senior, I believe you wouldn't do that. What benefit would that bring you? And what good would it do for the entire Temple of Martial Arts? We are all businesspeople here; why hide behind veils? Cooperation benefits us all, while a lack of it means no one can gain anything."
Looking at Old Master, Wei Chen continued, "Even if you wanted to kill me, it would have to be after I've dealt with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, right? As I am now, I hold significant value for you."
The truth may be harsh, but it was just that.
Old Master shook his head. "You are not wrong, but I can assure you that we in the Endless Divine Realm do not wish to fight with your Ancient World. If what you desire is to return to the Ancient World and seal it off, then so be it. Once your strength has grown, do not come looking for trouble in the Endless Divine Realm; it benefits neither of us."
"Rest assured, we do not desire war either," Wei Chen replied calmly.
However, he noticed that Old Master's expression was somewhat peculiar, as if he had something more to say but hesitated.
"Senior, if you have something to say, please continue," Wei Chen urged.
Old Master nodded and then shook his head again, his expression quite strange.
After a long silence filled with contemplation and hesitation, Old Master sighed deeply. "Child, many years ago, your Ancient World's Intruder turned the Endless Divine Realm upside down. Truly, that incident caused wounds far deeper than mere loss of life. Since then, the Endless Divine Realm has been under the complete control of Bloodshed Shop."
Another piece of history emerged; Wei Chen was intrigued. "I would like to hear more."
"Bloodshed Shop controlled the Endless Divine Realm long before that time. However, before the Intruder's Battle, Bloodshed Shop was merely a massive force combining formations and combat techniques; they had not yet fully taken over. It was precisely because of the Intruder's Battle that the strength of the Endless Divine Realm was suppressed. Furthermore, a series of unequal treaties were signed between the Endless Divine Realm and Bloodshed Shop, allowing Bloodshed Shop to exert comprehensive control over us. That is why we harbor such deep hatred for the Intruders."
"The Endless Divine Realm reveres strength; mere death is nothing significant—if one dies in battle due to lack of skill or strength, so be it. However, being completely controlled by Bloodshed Shop is intolerable. Our grievances cannot be directed at Bloodshed Shop; instead, we can only blame your Ancient World."
"This history is known by many. To resist Bloodshed Shop, our Stellar Technique from the Ancient World is our hope."
Old Master looked earnestly at Wei Chen. Wei Chen immediately shook his head. "Don't look at me like that; obtaining Stellar Technique from me is impossible. Even if you kill me and extract my soul memories, it would be futile. When practicing Stellar Technique, it automatically sets up anti-extraction factors within the Sea of Consciousness. If such an event occurs, Stellar Technique will destroy the practitioner's soul."
"So it's impossible; no matter what you do, I will never reveal Stellar Technique."
Wei Chen's words were resolute and left no room for doubt.
Old Master forced a smile. "Very well then; let it be as such."
"Senior, after hearing so much from you, I believe that the Ancient World is not the enemy of the Endless Divine Realm; rather, it is the Bloodshed Shop that poses the greatest threat to the Endless Divine Realm!"
Wei Chen observed the Old Master's expression, which suddenly turned pale after his words.
Curiosity filled Wei Chen regarding the legendary Bloodshed Shop. Just the mention of its name could elicit such a reaction from the Old Master; it was hard to imagine what would happen if someone from the actual Bloodshed Shop were to arrive. Perhaps the Old Master would be so frightened that he would lose control?
Taking a deep breath, the Old Master regained his composure. He gazed deeply at Wei Chen and said, "Wei Chenyu, the threat of the Bloodshed Shop is known throughout the Endless Divine Realm, but there is nothing we can do about it. Although they are indeed the greatest enemy of the Endless Divine Realm, they are too powerful for us to provoke. As for your Ancient World, you are also an enemy; our weapons can only be aimed at your Ancient World. Do you understand?"
After listening to the Old Master's words, Wei Chen pondered for a moment and then asked lightly, "Master of the Hall, could you tell me what exactly is the Bloodshed Shop?"
The Old Master murmured, "The Bloodshed Shop... is a formidable force from another universe. Under its banner, there are hundreds of thousands of universes under their control. Our Endless Divine Realm system is one of them. Anyone from the Bloodshed Shop can sweep through our Endless Divine Realm without breaking a sweat; we don't even have a shred of power to fight back."
"So strong?" Wei Chen was taken aback.
The Old Master smiled bitterly and said, "They are not just strong; unless we possess our full strength, we cannot contend with the experts from the Bloodshed Shop. However, within the Endless Divine Realm, Void Pressure suppresses everyone. Although this suppression will weaken over time, our rate of power enhancement cannot keep up with that of the Bloodshed Shop's experts."
"In their eyes, a Supreme God is merely a joke because of the spatial plane hierarchy within the Endless Divine Realm. A Sixth-Level Deity is already at its peak and cannot cultivate to become a Seventh-Level Deity; hence they are referred to as Supreme Gods."
A Sixth-Level Deity is equivalent to a Supreme God?
The Old Master's words were enlightening for Wei Chen.
If that were true, then surely there were Seventh-Level Deities and Eighth-Level Deities, perhaps even Tenth-Level Deities?
Wei Chen hurriedly asked, "Senior, what level are you at?"
"I am also a Sixth-Level Deity, but I am not a Supreme God," replied the Old Master calmly.
Wei Chen inquired further, "What do you mean by that?"
"The Divine King Token," said the Old Master as he looked at Wei Chen and pronounced those three words.
"The Divine King Token is actually quite similar to your Ancient World's Divine King Token; they carry essentially the same meaning. However, your Ancient World's Divine King Token is born from the earth and accompanies the Ten Divine Artifacts. In contrast, in our Endless Divine Realm, the Eighteen Supreme Gods' Divine King Token is given by the Bloodshed Shop. Possessing a Divine King Token enhances one's strength by half a level, placing one between a Sixth-Level Deity and a Seventh-Level Deity. The Bloodshed Shop aims to control Supreme Gods with these tokens so that they willingly serve them."
"But they are all controlled. Although their strength has increased somewhat, who can truly be willing? The words 'willing' are all soaked in blood and tears!"
Old Master’s expression turned grim.
After a moment of thought, he continued, "In the Bloodshed Shop, the Supreme God is merely the entry-level stage, which means only those with the strength of a Sixth-Level Deity qualify to enter the Bloodshed Shop and serve as the lowest-ranking outer staff. Only Seventh-Level Deities can become inner staff members of the Bloodshed Shop, while Eighth-Level Deities are its core staff. To reach the Ninth Level Divine Realm is to become a true disciple of the Bloodshed Shop. Following this pattern, Twelfth Level Deities are the shop owners, the most powerful beings."
"And in our Endless Divine Realm, due to Void Suppression, even a casual outer staff member from the Bloodshed Shop, who is also a Sixth-Level Deity, can easily slaughter all our gods in the Endless Divine Realm."
Old Master sighed and said, "The Void Suppression in the Endless Divine Realm was entirely caused by the Bloodshed Shop. They set up a massive Formation Array within our realm, suppressing the entire Endless Divine Realm."
"What?" Wei Chen asked.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming explained, "They fear us—fear that our power in the Endless Divine Realm might surpass that of the Bloodshed Shop. The Bloodshed Shop governs so many cosmic dimensions, but none are as vibrant as the Endless Divine Realm."
"To stifle our growth, the Bloodshed Shop established this formation at the very beginning of our Endless Divine Realm's creation. We have no means to resist; we can only survive under their oppressive force."
"Indeed, 'surviving' is an apt description of our state!"
Old Master’s face revealed deep sorrow.
It was not despair, but it felt worse than despair. When hope is long absent, everyone falls into despair. On ordinary days, one might not think about it or mention it much; however, once it comes to mind or is brought up, it becomes profound despair.
"Our Endless Divine Realm's overall combat power is weak under Void Pressure. Only by leaving the Endless Divine Realm can we unleash our true strength. Initially, when the Bloodshed Shop imposed this on us, they claimed it was for our benefit; even the Eighteen Supreme Gods agreed."
"However, gradually, we realized that this immense Formation Array of Void Pressure not only suppressed our strength but also prevented the entire Spatial Plane of the Endless Divine Realm from advancing further. A Sixth-Level Deity is as far as we can go; that is what we call a Supreme God."
Pausing for a moment and taking a few deep breaths, Old Master continued, "The power of a Supreme God in our Endless Divine Realm truly counts for nothing before those from the Bloodshed Shop."
"You should have noticed that within our Southern Ming Divine Domain, all cities are shrouded by formations. The same applies throughout the entire Endless Divine Realm; formations are everywhere. Between these formations lies a Formation System that has created the current Void Pressure."
"With our current strength in the Endless Divine Realm, we could dismantle all formations within three days. But once we do so, what awaits us will undoubtedly be annihilation."
At this point, Old Master fell silent.
Wei Chen wanted to ask more, but Old Master waved his hand and said, "Don't ask anymore. You'll understand slowly in the future. I'll go get you some elixirs."
With that, Old Master left, leaving Wei Chen alone in the grand hall.
"This old fellow seems quite sincere, but in a place like this, who can I trust?"
"My Stellar Power cannot be exposed within the Endless Divine Realm. If it is revealed, I will have to fight to obtain the divine artifact, return to the Demon Realm, and then go to the Ancient World to complete my mission."
"Exposing my Stellar Power would surely lead to being hunted down by the entire Endless Divine Realm. That's no joke."
"Here, I am merely a Secondary God, close to the level of a Third-Level Deity. With my robust body, array techniques, and swordsmanship, I wouldn't fear a Fifth-Level Deity. However, facing a Supreme God would still be quite challenging."
"Once Old Master gives me the time-saving elixir, I will be able to snatch the Kunlun Mirror from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming."
As Wei Chen pondered this, a sense of unease began to rise within him.
If that were truly the case, wouldn't it be too smooth?
"I need to stay cautious and not believe anyone's nonsense!"
At that moment, a graceful figure walked into the grand hall.
