He suddenly thought of the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, the Ancient Southern Capital, the Black Death Marsh, the Monster Ancestor Mountain Range, and the Holy Luo Secret Realm.
The mysterious rusted sword in his hand was actually obtained from the Holy Luo Secret Realm in the land of the Five Kingdoms. Even now, Qin Chen still couldn’t comprehend the origins of this mysterious rusted sword. Such a treasure could not possibly be born from an ordinary place.
But now Qin Chen understood that if the Northern Heavenly Domain was once the core of the Heavenly Martial Continent, then everything could be explained.
Qin Chen's heart suddenly felt heavy. He never expected there to be so many secrets in the Heavenly Martial Continent. Truly breaking through the blockade of the Demon Tribe was not an easy task.
“So, from now on, it all depends on you.”
The Supreme Blade Emperor sighed, glancing at Qin Chen and Mo Yuanbai. Although the two had considerable cultivation, it was still far from enough in the eyes of the Supreme Blade Emperor.
“We will do our best. Before we find the source of the Heavenly Martial Continent, it is almost impossible for us to break through to the Sacred Realm.”
Qin Chen shook his head. Besides the threat of the Demon Tribe, he also had to face traitors like Shangguan Xi'er. Otherwise, why would he work so hard to subdue one force after another?
“Actually, to break through to the Sacred Realm, besides comprehending the source of heaven and earth, one can also absorb some sacred artifacts and the source power of fallen strong cultivators from back in the day. There is also a chance to break through to the Sacred Realm. You can visit more secret realms of the continent, like the Death Canyon, the Forbidden Land of Gods, etc. Those places saw countless strong cultivators perish in the past, and some even belong to the Heavenly Realm. If the opportunity is sufficient, one might not be unable to break through to the Sacred Realm. Of course, the dangers are also great, and if you're not careful, you might perish.”
The Supreme Blade Emperor was clearly very wary of places like the Forbidden Land of Gods, where even Sacred Realm strong cultivators could fall.
Qin Chen nodded; perhaps this was the last resort.
Now he finally understood why the Phantom Demon Sect Master was able to acquire something that clearly wasn’t from the Heavenly Martial Continent, as this person likely also entered the Death Canyon and other places to obtain this treasure that could only be found in the Heavenly Realm.
“Wait!”
Qin Chen suddenly froze.
“Why would the Phantom Demon Sect Master enter the Death Canyon?”
He was stunned.
The Death Canyon and the Forbidden Land of Gods were some of the most dangerous forbidden areas on the continent. Any strong cultivator in the world would find it nearly impossible to enter these forbidden lands without sufficient reasons because it was almost tantamount to courting death.
Back then, Ji Wuxue entered the Death Canyon to find herself, Mo Yuanbai entered the Death Canyon also for the same reason, while Qin Chen himself entered the Forbidden Land of Gods in his past life solely to seek a chance to resolve his waste meridians and break through to the Martial God.
But what about the Phantom Demon Sect Master?
Why would she enter the Death Canyon?
Normal martial cultivators, even a peak Martial God, would not recklessly enter such dangerous places because compared to the Thunder Sea, entering the Death Canyon and the Forbidden Land of Gods was almost like walking to their deaths.
A wave of confusion surged in Qin Chen's mind. For these three hundred years, the only purpose of the top strong cultivators who entered the Death Canyon was for him. Could it be that the Phantom Demon Sect Master also entered the Death Canyon because of him?
Thinking of this, Qin Chen couldn’t help but shake his head. He was truly overthinking. He didn’t even know the Phantom Demon Sect Master personally; how could she possibly enter the Death Canyon because of him?
