"Does the Privy Hall want to kill me? Ha, they really have some guts!" Wei Chen glanced around. The high-ranking members of the Temple of Martial Arts were all by his side, and he simply couldn't understand what the Privy Hall was thinking. Why would they rather fight against the Temple of Martial Arts and Duke Sui's Residence than destroy the nonexistent alliance between them?
Wei Chen knew that an alliance would never happen. His influence within the Temple of Martial Arts was limited to its confines, and once it involved a relationship with Duke Sui's Residence, the higher-ups of the Temple would definitely not agree.
The Privy Hall was indeed being overly impatient; that kind of mentality would never lead to great achievements. If a major reshuffle occurred among the four Major Forces of the Southern Ming Divine Domain, it was certain that the Privy Hall would be the first to fall.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment before unleashing his formidable Mental Strength, enveloping a radius of a hundred miles. Aside from some strong individuals who defended themselves with Mental Strength, he could perceive everything others were doing.
As time passed, he grew more accustomed to the oppressive aura of the Endless Divine Realm. The power he could unleash through his Stellar Technique was becoming increasingly formidable. His Mental Strength was also rapidly improving; the star system within the Endless Divine Realm was stronger than that in the Demon Domain. Controlling the stars' movements in this realm allowed Wei Chen to enhance his Mental Strength at a rate many times faster than in the Demon Domain.
His Divine Realm was also advancing quickly; he had now fully entered the Third-Level Divine Realm. Compared to those in the Temple of Martial Arts, he still seemed quite weak, but his focus wasn't on his Divine Realm. His reliance lay in his Mental Strength and Stellar Power.
The Killing God Senior had taught him the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, and Wei Chen wasted no time in practicing it. After being looked down upon by Killing God Senior, he realized that using his Sixth-Level Deity or even near Seventh-Level Deity Mental Strength to train with the first six swords was indeed very slow.
Thus, he had been practicing Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords with his Mental Strength. Fortunately, it was a Mental Attack Technique that didn't require real weapons; otherwise, practicing alongside those from the Temple of Martial Arts would have been impossible without being discovered.
To practice Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, he only needed to conjure an image within his True God World, which was very convenient.
Killing God Senior had set up a massive Formation Array within Wei Chen's True God World. While Killing God Senior believed it would affect Wei Chen in some way, Wei Chen didn't feel it mattered much since he couldn't use it until reaching Twelfth Level Divine Realm. Those so-called confusions were completely irrelevant to him. Twelfth Level Deity was something far off; why bother worrying about it?
The strength of his Mental Strength, Stellar Power, and Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords were now Wei Chen's greatest assets. He no longer cared much about things like Divine Realm. No matter how hard he tried in that aspect, there wouldn't be much effect in the short term.
Unless he obtained the fire from Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master; then it would be significantly effective.
As night fell, the entire Temple of Martial Arts quieted down. The other forces had long since settled down; with the Temple present, they could only hide away and didn't even dare to venture out for reconnaissance. Before the Temple appeared, they could still move around at night.
Wei Chen, feeling idle, concentrated a sharp surge of Mental Strength and plunged into the Death Zone, specifically the Azure Green Pool.
That sharp Mental Strength could penetrate even a mountain.
However, when it made contact with the pool, Wei Chen was astonished to find that his Mental Strength encountered tremendous resistance in the water.
It was as if the liquid in the pool was harder than the stubborn rocks in the mountains...
"How strange. What kind of water is this? The density is so high, even greater than that of rock?" Wei Chen furrowed his brow, puzzled. What kind of water could possess such density? Clearly, it was impossible. Thus, the obstacle to Wei Chen's Mental Strength detection was not the density of the water but rather some special substance within it. This substance slowed down the progress of Wei Chen's Mental Strength.
"The predecessors who couldn't dive deep into the pool must have been hindered by that special substance."
"I'll see if it can block my Mental Strength."
With that thought, Wei Chen narrowed his eyes sharply. A pure form of Mental Strength gathered at the tip, transforming it into a drill as thick as an embrace, forcefully burrowing deeper into the pool.
As the Mental Strength drill descended, Wei Chen began to "observe" some conditions within the pool.
The pool was lifeless, devoid of any Vitality. The Mental Strength drill had descended for several miles without revealing any signs of life. The surface area of the pool wasn't particularly large, but its depth left Wei Chen somewhat shocked. As the drill went deeper, reaching what felt like thirty miles down, he still couldn't sense where the bottom lay.
"The predecessors managed to dive down for dozens of miles; the difficulty of physical descent is much greater than that of Mental Strength. If I exert all my Mental Strength upwards, I will definitely surpass their depth."
Wei Chen gritted his teeth and channeled an even more powerful and violent surge of Mental Strength into the drill, pushing deeper still.
While probing with his Mental Strength, Wei Chen also needed to carefully control it so that it wouldn't leak out and be detected by others. Achieving this required top-tier strength and control over his Mental Strength, which further proved that Wei Chen's abilities were indeed formidable. Strength is always relative; perhaps Wei Chen's Mental Strength had already surpassed that of the Endless Divine Realm's Eighteen Supreme Gods. Within the Endless Divine Realm, aside from those in Bloodshed Shop who were unaware of his situation, compared to others in the Endless Divine Realm, Wei Chen's Mental Strength could be considered strong.
If, within the Endless Divine Realm, someone could use Mental Strength to probe the depths of the Death Zone and the Azure Green Pool, that person would undoubtedly be Wei Chen; there was no one else.
The furious Mental Strength drill continued to descend, pushing deeper into the abyss.
However, when Wei Chen's Mental Strength drill had plunged over a hundred miles down, he found that his own Mental Strength was somewhat lacking.
It wasn't merely a matter of stubborn willpower; at such times, willpower was useless—only strength could provide a solution.
"What a pity, my Mental Strength is still insufficient!"
Wei Chen's probing of the Azure Green Pool came to a halt. His Mental Strength was not strong enough to support him in detecting what lay at the bottom of the pool. The depth of over a hundred miles had broadened Wei Chen's horizons.
"If it were ordinary water, my Mental Strength could continue to descend, but this water is truly strange."
"Forget it, there's nothing I can do but wait for the so-called Treasure to surface."
Wei Chen withdrew his Mental Strength, feeling an abrupt sense of fatigue wash over him. During that period, his mind had been in a tense state, and now that it had ended, he found it hard to bear.
After quietly adjusting himself for a while, Wei Chen returned to normal. He stepped out of the tent and looked toward the pool, thinking to himself: "I can't detect what lies at the bottom of the pool, but that doesn't mean there's absolutely nothing."
"There is an extremely malevolent substance in the pool; whether it's a physical body or Mental Strength entering it, both would be severely suppressed. In the Endless Divine Realm, I fear no one can truly reach the bottom of this pool."
"I can't sense any aura indicating a Treasure surfacing; where could there possibly be any sign of Treasure? How did this come about? Yue Songyang and Qian Youshi, along with Ancestor Xu Elder, have already stationed themselves here—can they really sense any so-called Treasure?"
With these lingering questions in mind, Wei Chen sent a message to Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master: "Vice Master, can you sense any special aura within this pool?"
Yue Songyang immediately replied, "We can't feel anything, Wei Chen. Your Mental Strength should be stronger than ours. Can it be that even you don't sense anything?"
"No," Wei Chen said, feeling frustrated. If they couldn't sense anything, then how could those powerful figures possibly feel it? It seemed impossible. This left Wei Chen puzzled about how the news of the Treasure being unearthed in the Eastern Forest Azure Green Pool had come about.
Wei Chen asked, "Vice Master, I don't understand. If we can't feel anything, then how did the news about the Treasure being unearthed in the Eastern Forest come about in the first place? Was there no actual verification? Did the entire Southern Ming Divine Domain just believe it out of thin air?"
"That's not entirely true. There will indeed be Treasures unearthed here. First, based on time calculations, almost every hundred thousand years, there is an occurrence of Treasure being unearthed, and we are right at that hundred-thousand-year mark now. Secondly, there are spies from various Major Forces active here year-round. Although they can't sense any aura, changes in the pool indicate that a Treasure is about to be unearthed. A month ago, many spies from different forces saw the tide rising here, which is a sign that a Treasure is about to surface. The water level of the pool has risen to its current position; many areas that were once green land have already been submerged," Yue Songyang explained through telepathy.
After listening to Yue Songyang's explanation, Wei Chen nodded slightly and asked, "So what do we do now?"
"There's nothing we can do but wait quietly. I believe that the people from Duke Sui's Residence and Privy Hall, as well as those from the Southern Ming Divine Palace, will be arriving soon. Even other powerful figures from the Divine Realm might show up. How much benefit we can gain will depend on luck," Yue Songyang replied calmly.
Wei Chen frowned and asked, "Then why did you insist on bringing me here? It seems I can't be of much help."
"Hehe, Wei Chen, you underestimate your own abilities too much. After a while, when everyone takes a break, it will be your time to shine," Yue Songyang said just as he and Qian Youshi appeared before Wei Chen.
Seeing Yue Songyang and Qian Youshi materialize, Wei Chen smiled wryly and said, "You two, with so many people here and us arriving not too early, it's going to be quite difficult to set up an arrangement without anyone noticing."
Wei Chen was being subtle; it wasn't just difficult—it was nearly impossible. There were too many people around, and setting up an array quietly would be extremely challenging. If they were discovered, it would lose much of its effectiveness. What puzzled Wei Chen was why the people from the Temple of Martial Arts hadn't arrived earlier.
With Wei Chen's skills, he could arrange some Formation Arrays without anyone noticing; however, covering the entire Azure Green Pool with a formation without being detected was simply impossible.
