"Understood."
After simply asking a few questions, Wen Yu dismissed the steward.
It was expected that the Heavenly Dao would be stationed on the seventh layer. Thinking about needing to meet his "Elder Brother" again after reaching the seventh layer, Wen Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh.
To be honest, Wen Yu really disliked dealing with figures like the Heavenly Dao and Great Luo.
The fundamental reason was the vast difference in strength—this was not Earth. On Earth, Wen Yu's combat power ensured he could act with impunity. Even if Lin Haifeng used some scheming tactics, he understood one bottom line—he couldn't openly confront Wen Yu.
The price of openly confronting Wen Yu was something the entire military could not afford!
However, within the Heavenly Palace, the situation took a fundamental turn—did those level 10 limit breakers and eleventh level transcendent strongmen care about a little guy at level 5?
Recalling the Heavenly Dao's words, "Did you really think of me as your Elder Brother?" and thinking about the imminent meeting with the Heavenly Dao again, Wen Yu genuinely feared that the Heavenly Dao might take a disliking to him or might have a small tantrum, slapping Wen Yu into a pile of meat paste. Who would he go to for reasoning then?
...
In the evening, Wen Yu found Tang Haofei and had a detailed discussion with Old Tang about the potential situations that might arise on the seventh layer of the Heavenly Palace, as well as various countermeasures—currently, the two were interests aligned, sharing honor and disgrace, and could be considered as ironclad allies.
After concluding his conversation with Tang Haofei, Wen Yu returned to his room and summoned the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to carefully analyze the various situations he was facing.
In general, Wen Yu was the one posing various questions, while the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine kept urging him to relax—Wen Yu was unclear where the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine obtained such confidence.
In summary, through the dialogue with Tang Haofei and the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu gained nothing more than a "countermeasure as the challenge arises."
The "mindless" remarks from the two made Wen Yu roll his eyes in annoyance. Once again realizing that none of the people present were intellectual heavyweights, Wen Yu decisively climbed into bed, covered himself with the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.
After all, resting well was never a bad idea...
...
Early the next morning, just as Wen Yu and Tang Haofei finished breakfast, the steward who had met with Wen Yu yesterday arrived at the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion, ready to escort Wen Yu to the seventh layer of the Heavenly Palace.
Seeing the luxurious vehicle adorned with golden decorations outside, Wen Yu felt as though it was a prison cart heading to a gallows.
Tang Haofei gently nudged Wen Yu from behind, and the overwhelming sense of power from him eased Wen Yu's mind slightly.
At the very least, he wasn't alone...
As a lone ranger, Wen Yu discovered for the first time how comforting it was to have a reliable teammate beside him, especially one who was even stronger than himself.
Of course, Wen Yu's true thoughts might be that at least he had someone who could cover his back...
In case something happened, Old Tang would be responsible for covering his retreat—this was not prearranged, merely Wen Yu's principle of operation.
Rather than risking his own life, he would prioritize his own safety. Yes, it was a bit dark, but there was absolutely no problem with the overall direction!
...
Under the guidance of the steward, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei took the vehicle all the way to the place where Wen Yu was to meet the Heavenly Dao.
According to the steward, this was the location of the 12 teleportation arrays belonging to the sixth level Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Branch of the entire Heavenly Palace, serving as a transit station connecting to various layers of the Heavenly Palace.
After bringing Wen Yu to the location, the steward respectfully bowed to Wen Yu and then said, "Your highness the young master, the teleportation array is about to activate. I will not accompany your highness any further. On the opposite side of the teleportation array on the seventh layer of the Heavenly Palace, there are personnel responsible for receiving your highness. At that time, your highness can follow them and meet the Heavenly Dao Lord."
