Chapter 169 - 169: Entering the Heavenly Devil Palace
Lu Yuan held the Heavenly Devil Token in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he once again let his clone bring him to a distance.
And this time, Lu Yuan had his clone fly for a hundred miles before stopping.
Not only that, Lu Yuan did not choose to use this Heavenly Devil Token directly.
Instead, he began to set up an array in the surroundings.
Without exception, these arrays were all used to protect himself or to prevent outsiders from detecting his array.
The array could prevent people from interfering with him. On the other hand, it allows him to immediately cut off if there is a problem with the Heavenly Devil Token, preventing other Heavenly Devils from sensing his existence.
Although he had already done this much, Lu Yuan was still worried.
This was because he was not sure if the news of Bi Fang’s death had been transmitted to the internal of the Heavenly Devil Palace.
Although he had only used his divine soul to enter the array, he could not guarantee that he would not encounter some unexpected disaster.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan had also absorbed Bi Fang’s human soul. Although due to some restrictions, he was unable to know the situation with the Heavenly Devil Palace, he still obtained some useful information.
That is, the so-called Heavenly Devil was never a single person.
For example, he had killed Bi Fang, and there were still several people in the Heavenly Devil Palace who had inherited Bi Fang’s divine soul.
Therefore, he would not be in too much danger when he entered the Heavenly Devil Palace.
After Lu Yuan learned of this information, he speculated that this information might have been deliberately leaked by the Heavenly Devil Palace.
This was because he did not know anything about other information regarding the Heavenly Devil Palace.
There was no reason for an organization that could set up restrictions in a cultivator’s divine soul to make such a big mistake.
The only reason was that this piece of information was not important, or that the Heavenly Devil Palace had deliberately revealed it.
Lu Yuan speculated that it was most likely the latter.
This was also the most important reason why Lu Yuan had the guts to use the Heavenly Devil Token.
Otherwise, with Lu Yuan’s extremely steady personality, he would definitely not take the risk of using a magic item that he did not know the details of.
And it was still a situation where he needed to transmit a portion of his divine soul.
Even though it’s the divine soul of his clone, it was still very important to Lu Yuan.
He did not want to waste any more time to refine a clone that possessed 90% of his original body’s strength.
After making sure that all the preparations were done, Lu Yuan had his clone hold the Heavenly Devil Token and cast the Bi Fang green flame.
After the special Bi Fang power was infused into the Heavenly Devil Token, it immediately caused the token to have the same effect as the Heavenly Devil Mask.
In an instant, a black light was emitted from the Heavenly Devil Token.
Lu Yuan immediately felt a strong suction force coming from the Heavenly Devil Token.
Without any hesitation, Lu Yuan decisively instilled his divine soul into the Heavenly Devil Token.
Following a moment of dizziness, Lu Yuan found himself in a brand new place.
It was a grey space, and the surrounding objects seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze.
The surrounding environment looked like an ordinary city.
“Don’t block the way, newbie.”
Just as Lu Yuan was about to gather some information, a voice came from behind him.
Lu Yuan turned around and saw a tall figure wearing a mask walking past him.
With some curiosity, Lu Yuan wanted to check the interface information on the person.
However, Lu Yuan was surprised to discover that what he obtained was actually a bunch of question marks.
[Name: ???]
[Cultivation: ???]
[Cultivation Technique: ???]
Lu Yuan looked at the others in disbelief and realized that their interface was the same as this person’s. They were all unknown.
This immediately made Lu Yuan even more careful.
After all, this was the first time he had encountered an existence that his system could not detect.
Lu Yuan deduced that the reason why such a situation occurred was most likely because this space was relatively special.
In addition, the people who appeared here were only a wisp of the main body’s soul.
The system could directly check the other party’s interface, but that was based on the fact that the other party was a complete individual.
Most of the split souls didn’t have the bloodline and abilities of the main body.
It was normal that the system could not detect it.
Just as Lu Yuan was still hesitating whether to continue moving forward, something suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was a strange lantern. On the side facing Lu Yuan, there was a long, comical mouth.
There was a single eye near the lantern.
“Newbie?”
The lantern monster looked at Lu Yuan and asked curiously.
Lu Yuan looked at it and nodded.
The lantern monster laughed.
“I don’t know why, but there are so many newcomers recently.”
“Since you’re a newcomer, then let me tell you about the rules of our Heavenly Devil Palace.”
“The place you’re at now is the outer city area of the Heavenly Devil Palace. The people who appear here are basically the same as you. They’re rookies with less than 30% of their Heavenly Devil Awakening.”
“Those with 30% to 60% awakening are the official members of the Heavenly Devil Palace and can enter the middle city area.”
“Those with Awakening above 60% are the core members of the Heavenly Devil Palace.”
“At this level, they could use the core innate abilities of the Heavenly Devil. Their combat strength far surpasses that of the same level cultivators.”
The lantern monster looked left and right and said, “You weren’t guided by someone, but you killed a Heavenly Devil yourself and stole the other party’s Heavenly Devil, right?”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan revealed a shocked expression.
Seeing Lu Yuan like this, the lantern monster immediately became smug.
“Are you wondering why I know this?”
Lu Yuan nodded, in full acting mode.
He vividly portrayed the 30% fear, 40% suspicion, and 30% uneasy expression after the secret was exposed.
The lantern monster seemed to be enjoying this process. It acted reserved for a while before speaking again.
“Kid, you can rest assured. Our Heavenly Devil Palace is different from ordinary organizations.”
“In our palace, we don’t mind the situation of fellow disciples killing each other.”
“Even those who could complete above 60% of their Heavenly Devil awakening stepped on the corpses of other Heavenly Devils to ascend.”
“In this place, everything else is illusory. Only strength is real.”
“So, the first thing a newcomer must remember is to protect their identity.”
“Believe me, once your identity is exposed, you will encounter more trouble than you can imagine.”
“All right, I won’t talk to you anymore. Come over.”
When Lu Yuan walked forward, the lantern monster’s wick began to sway. Then, a ball of flame flew towards him.
Lu Yuan roughly sensed that this thing would not pose any danger to him, so he let it fly in front of him.
When he touched this flame, Lu Yuan understood that this thing was something similar to enlightenment jade.
After absorbing the information inside, Lu Yuan had a new understanding of the Heavenly Devil Palace..
