This person's words were sincere, and they truly considered Wen Yu's perspective.
However, Wen Yu also had his own thoughts—spy tactics were small tricks; the Heavenly Dao and Great Luo, having lived for so long, would definitely handle them better than Lin Haifeng.
For his own safety, aside from Tang Haofei, Wen Yu wasn't planning to cooperate with anyone else.
"Thank you."
He expressed his gratitude to the middle-aged man, but was met with the man's fearful expression.
"This is what a lowly person should do."
Seeing the humble demeanor of the middle-aged man, Wen Yu found it uninteresting and then straightened his face.
"Let's go, take me to see my Elder Brother."
...
Following behind the middle-aged man, he slowly entered a cave.
As they entered the cave, the light was a bit dim, but as they delved deeper, the surroundings became brighter—this was a technological achievement from the Immortal Heroic World. Although it was merely a civilian application, Wen Yu didn't dare underestimate its effects.
According to the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, the omnipresent light in the Heavenly Palace was indeed a modified version of this technology, resembling starlight.
Once one understood the subtleties, it was clear how powerful the technology of the Immortal Heroic World was, and this was precisely why Tang Haofei wanted to stay here.
...
Following closely behind the middle-aged man, they navigated through the complex and chaotic cave. It didn't take long for the light to grow brighter, and soon, a cacophony of sounds penetrated Wen Yu's eardrums.
Until a certain moment, when Wen Yu arrived at a cave entrance, the situation before him suddenly changed.
The omnipresent brilliance made everything appear as if it were under the dazzling sunlight of the outside world. The advanced real-scene holographic simulation technology even displayed clouds above the heads of the three.
If it weren't for Wen Yu's journey thus far, even he might doubt that he was currently deep within a mountain; at this moment, he could easily believe he was in a bustling, majestic ancient city.
The saying that technology changes human lifestyles was undoubtedly true, and the technological prowess of the Immortal Heroic World need not be elaborated upon.
Even though he was currently inside a mountain, with the support of the Immortal Heroic World’s technology, what Wen Yu could see, hear, and smell was identical to an external city.
"Your highness the young master, this is the current war fortress on the Seventh Layer of the Immortal Heroic World’s Heavenly Palace."
The middle-aged man said.
Wen Yu nodded.
On the surface, the city before him didn't resemble a war fortress but looked more like a prosperous ancient metropolis. However, the secrets hidden beneath were unknown to Wen Yu, nor did he desire to know—they had nothing to do with him.
After briefly experiencing the "scenery of another world," Wen Yu turned to the middle-aged man and said,
"Let's go."
...
As the strongest in the current Heavenly Palace, the treatment for the Heavenly Dao was needless to say.
When the Heavenly Dao stated he would temporarily guard the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace, the highest official in the city immediately relinquished his residence and office.
Thus, in the administrative center of this city, Wen Yu met the Heavenly Dao for the second time.
"Greetings, Elder Brother."
The necessary etiquette couldn't be omitted, and given the current "special circumstances," Wen Yu's attitude was naturally very cautious.
However, the Heavenly Dao had no such concerns.
"Sit."
A simple command, though cold, did not carry any obvious intent to harm or malice—without any outsiders present, the Heavenly Dao was too lazy to perform the "surface brother" routine with Wen Yu.
At this moment, Wen Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the first encounter with the Heavenly Dao, if he were to receive enthusiastic attention now, it would instead frighten him—after all, hidden daggers can be the deadliest!
If the Heavenly Dao wore a cold expression, at least Wen Yu could discern the true attitude of the Heavenly Dao towards him—at the very least, he would die understanding.
