Chapter 384: Everyone is being secretive

Shen Wendao's voice sounded in the consciousness network.

"Shen Qing, Lao Wu, want to go take a look?"

Martial Emperor's voice was somewhat lax: "I think it's okay to go or not to go."

Shen Qing said: "Let's go take a look, not talking about anything else first, this group of Heaven Defiers' strength is indeed not weak, maybe we can learn something new."

First, it's naturally the new path problem of Martial Emperor and Old Ancestor Shen; currently no supreme power suitable for Martial Emperor and Old Ancestor Shen has been found, so the only way to become stronger now is the new path.

But relying only on the two of them's own comprehension, whether they can continue to make it through is still a question; if they could obtain verification data from the Heaven Defiers, maybe they could take a new step.

Second, it's also Shen Qing's urgent need to know some information, about the third layer world, supreme power, Heaven's Way, etc.

How exactly is the ranking of supreme power? The strength of chaotic power, or put another way, is there a higher power above chaotic power?

For example, how to completely eliminate Heaven's Way, and where would Heaven's Way go after being defeated?

Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao naturally agreed with Shen Qing's decision.

Shen Qing looked toward the dark realm: "Okay, we can talk."

Ling's voice sounded: "Okay, keep going deeper; you can see a gray land, I'll wait for you there."

Shen Qing casually threw Jeffrey's corpse down; Jeffrey's corpse kept falling in the dark world.

The third layer world was completely dark, with hardly any concept of space; no matter which direction you looked, it was endless darkness, so where Jeffrey's corpse would eventually fall, nobody knows.

But nobody paid attention; all the Heaven Defiers' gazes were focused on Shen Qing, Martial Emperor, and Shen Wendao.

There was fighting intent, and also curiosity.

Shen Qing and the two others quickly passed through the darkness; before long they arrived at the gray land Ling had mentioned.

This land was extraordinarily huge, possibly the size of a capital city.

The three looked up and could see a towering giant tower in the darkness, and at the tower's gate there was a humanoid creature, appearing no different from a human except its skin was somewhat pale and a vertical eye grew on its forehead.

He spoke.

"Here."

The three flew in; Shen Qing gave his third eye two more glances, but Ling keenly noticed.

Ling laughed and spoke.

"I am Ling, of the Three-Eyed Clan, also called the Heavenly Eye Clan."

Shen Qing nodded; he could feel that this eye was extraordinary, within this heavenly eye lay immense energy.

"I am Shen Qing."

Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao also introduced themselves.

Ling said: "Shen Qing, I'm really sorry, I failed to manage my subordinates strictly; I didn't expect Charles to leak your news."

"But I will give you satisfactory compensation."

This attitude actually made Shen Qing very satisfied.

Immediately after Ling's words shifted, he looked toward Martial Emperor.

"But before that, Brother Zhu, may I take a look at your new path?"

Martial Emperor narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"Because of this!"

Only saw Ling's heavenly eye blink, and suddenly black mist appeared that could cover the entire gray continent.

Shen Qing's eyes lit up; this is a special domain, somewhat similar to Martial Emperor's ultimate slaughter domain, with a wonderful similarity.

Martial Emperor's eyes were about to glow; he raised a finger, and the intermediate slaughter domain unfurled, bloody mist instantly surged, clashing with the black mist.

In just a few breaths, the entire gray land was transformed into two layers of heaven.

One side was Martial Emperor's slaughter domain, with a sea of blood raging and red mist permeating; the other side was Ling's black mist, and their domains rapidly collided.

Just then Shen Wendao laughed heartily: "Interesting! Then count me in!"

Only saw within the blood sea and black mist, golden light flashed, and Shen Wendao's golden body dharma form rose up to the heavens.

The black mist and blood sea instantly reversed their attack direction, surging toward the golden body.

In the pupil of the golden body dharma form, golden flames ignited: "Two against one? Just to my liking!"

And outside the gray continent, several Heaven Defiers looked toward the golden body dharma form, and also glanced at the raging blood sea.

"How terrifying! Can one who follows the new path match Ling in strength?"

A black tiger looked toward Li Lun: "Where exactly did you go? Where did you find these two? Are you sure they haven't entered the third layer world?"

Li Lun shook his head: "I can be certain they haven't entered."

The black tiger gritted its teeth: "That means these two relied solely on themselves to comprehend the new path to this extent?"

"Li Lun has spent a long time with them; let me tell you, I really don't want to provoke those two."

Li Lun stroked his chin, thought for a moment: "Those two are actually fine; at least if you don't go looking for death, you'll provoke them."

"What you really need to be careful about is the one who hasn't made a move."

As soon as that was said, all Heaven Defiers were stunned for a moment, then shifted their gaze to look at Shen Qing flying above the gray continent, overseeing the battle.

The black tiger's eyes showed some doubt.

"He? Killing Jeffrey alone indeed shows decent combat power, but compared to those two there's still a gap, right?"

Li Lun didn't speak; anyone who looks down on Shen Qing will pay the price, as he personally witnessed Shen Qing's strength complete a three-level leap in an extremely short time.

When he arrived at the boundary domain battlefield, Shen Qing had just completed a breakthrough, later he also produced a supreme lotus, and finally even mastered the thirteenth layer of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Function.

Thinking of this, Li Lun chuckled: "Anyway, I've already said what I needed to say to you all."

"What you do is your business; I won't tell you Shen Qing's information."

Li Lun having said that, the black tiger and all the Heaven Defiers' gazes toward Shen Qing underwent a subtle change.

And Shen Qing also noticed the change in the Heaven Defiers' gazes, and Shen Qing could also guess what Li Lun had said to them.

However, Shen Qing didn't have time to worry about them, and Shen Qing's gaze remained focused on the battle below.

Maybe it's because they were on the Gray Continent, so the three of them acted with restraint; but even so, Shen Qing could still see a lot.

Whether it was the Martial Emperor's path or the Old Ancestor Shen's path, Shen Qing had not yet taken the first step.

However, watching the three's battle really revealed many different things.

Just then, the battle below had already ended.

Shen Qing stepped forward and came to the side of the three.

"Finished fighting?"

The Martial Emperor's eyes lit up: "No! This place doesn't allow us to unleash our full power! Let's change locations and fight!"

Ling's mouth corner twitched up, and his third eye glowed with delight: "Exactly to my liking! Perfect, we can also discuss insights on the new path!"

"Coincidentally, I know a decent place; follow me."

Suddenly, Ling turned his head to look at Shen Qing: "Are you coming?"

Shen Qing shook his head: "I'm not going; I've already seen enough from your fight just now."

"But before you go fight, could you tell me what compensation you're preparing for me?"

Moreover, Li Lun told me there are many classics to read here; where are the classics?

Ling said: "As for compensation, I plan to give you a precious fruit; its effect is absolutely good."

"It just depends on what kind of precious fruit you want."

Shen Qing's eyes lit up; it was exactly what he needed, like a pillow arriving when he was sleepy.

"I want to break through my cultivation."

Ling narrowed his eyes; Shen Qing's physical aura was off the charts, and he hadn't noticed that Shen Qing's vital energy cultivation was only at the third level of the Martial Saint realm.

"Alright, no problem."

"As for the classics you want, those are the ones we've specially preserved; I'll have someone take you there later."

Just then, Shen Wendao's voice echoed in Shen Qing's mind: "Shen Qing, we'll take out this Ling."

"This Ling is the strongest here; after we remove him, you should gather as much information as possible."

The Martial Emperor's voice also rang out: "I've basically explored this continent with my Slaughter Domain; many places have formations similar to a great feng shui array that you can't enter, but about a hundred li behind this tower there's a rather strange spot you can check out."

Shen Qing's mouth corner curled up a bit; the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao are indeed martial fanatics, but they're not idiots—how could they possibly just come out and say they want to discuss martial arts with this Ling?

Indeed, they were being sly, each calculating in their hearts.
