Martial Master

“Oh, is this what the Martial Emperor obtained in the Martial Domain?”

Qin Chen immediately became interested, placing his hands on the scroll. The entire scroll gave him an inexplicable feeling, causing his heart to flutter, yet he still could not discern its true purpose.

However, something that the Piao Miao Palace sought after was certainly not an ordinary item.

Qin Chen did not make any hasty conclusions. He then spread his mental strength, even his soul strength, into it. When his soul strength penetrated, Qin Chen suddenly felt a sharp chill, as if his soul was about to be torn apart.

“Wait, is this the aura of the Thunder Sea, the forbidden zone in the Martial Domain? Could this item be what the Martial Emperor obtained in the Thunder Sea?”

Qin Chen was astonished. The Martial Domain, as the pinnacle of power in the Tianwu Continent, was fraught with dangers, containing various secret realms and forbidden areas.

The Thunder Sea was one of the most powerful among them. No one knew how the Thunder Sea was formed, but it had existed in the Martial Domain since human history was recorded, for at least tens of thousands of years.

In the Thunder Sea, lightning surged everywhere. Although it was called a sea, there was not a single drop of water; it was filled with endless lightning and thunder. The deeper one went, the stronger the power became. At the very depths, even strong figures like the Nineth Level Martial God would be obliterated by the thunder.

However, because the power of thunder could refine the bodies of martial artists, many strong warriors would still train around the periphery of the Thunder Sea to temper their bodies.

But every year, countless strong warriors would perish there, leading to numerous treasures inside.

Could this item be something left behind by a top-tier powerhouse who fell in the Thunder Sea, later obtained by the Martial Emperor?

It was not impossible.

In his previous life, as the top genius of the Martial Domain, Qin Chen had indeed entered the Thunder Sea and could clearly feel the power within it, which was indeed very similar to the destructive power of the Thunder Sea, seemingly of the same origin.

“Does the senior know the origin of this item?”

Seeing the flickering expression in Qin Chen's eyes, Long Lingfeng asked in confusion.

Qin Chen nodded and said, “If I am not mistaken, this item is very likely what your ancestor, the Martial Emperor, obtained from the forbidden area of the Thunder Sea in the Martial Domain.”

The Thunder Sea?

As a minor royal power in the Northern Heavenly Domain, Long Lingfeng had never been to the Martial Domain and naturally had never heard of the Thunder Sea.

However, he was not someone who had never seen the world. Hearing the words “forbidden area,” he immediately knew that place was definitely fraught with dangers and not something an ordinary person could enter.

Qin Chen seemed to understand Long Lingfeng's thoughts and explained, “The Thunder Sea is an extremely terrifying forbidden area in the Martial Domain, thick with danger, where even the Martial God can fall.”

Long Lingfeng's breath suddenly stagnated, his eyes wide open. Goodness, even a Martial God could fall there; what kind of place was this?

“Senior, do you know what this secret scroll is?” Long Lingfeng hurriedly asked, eager to know why the people from the Enforcement Hall insisted on obtaining this item.

Qin Chen shook his head, “At present, I cannot discern anything.”

After saying that, he directly tossed the secret scroll back to Long Lingfeng. “Perhaps only by entering the Thunder Sea can one unveil the true face of this item, but that is just a possibility.”

He had studied the scroll carefully for a long time but still could not uncover any clues.

This scroll appeared as if it were an entirely ordinary material, without any mysteries at all.

But Qin Chen knew this was impossible. If it had no mystery at all, the Martial Emperor of that year would not have brought it back to the Tianlong Village as a treasured heirloom, nor would the Piao Miao Palace expend great resources to acquire it.
