“Right now, the Wan Gu Tower is still very chaotic. I can’t be at ease leaving you alone here. So, you should activate the Cang Yuan Diagram and enter my Qiankun Creation Jade Plate. I will then use the art of stealing heaven to cover your fate with the power of time. Even if you work with me at Tian Gong, you shouldn't get discovered.”
After thinking for a moment, Qin Chen made his final decision.
Whoosh! Immediately, Chen Sisi brought the Cang Yuan Diagram and swiftly entered the depths of the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate. At the same time, Qin Chen directly took out a Heavenly Level Sacred Vein, activating the power of time to allow Sisi to cultivate deep within the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate, while he himself flew towards the location of Tian Gong.
From Ruo Rui, Qin Chen had already learned the location of the Tian Gong branch in Guanghan Mansion.
He entered the internal teleportation array of Guanghan Mansion and, after a while of teleportation, whoosh whoosh whoosh, he traversed through the vast void of Guanghan Mansion. About an hour later, he finally stopped.
What appeared before him was a vast and boundless construction, floating in the depths of the endless void, magnificent and imposing.
"This is Tian Gong?"
Qin Chen was shocked. Unlike other powers on the streets of Guanghan Mansion, this Tian Gong branch was located in the void, surrounded by a desolate space, enveloped by terrifying restrictions. In the entire void, only this Tian Gong stood tall, majestic and grand.
In front of this void was a huge archway that reached into the clouds, forming the three large characters of Tian Gong in the sky. Behind the archway was a staircase leading up to the horizon.
The open space in front of the archway was empty, not a single person was present, nor did anyone dare to step inside.
Qin Chen's figure flickered as he prepared to ascend the stairs.
Buzz! Just as Qin Chen placed his foot on the stairs, suddenly, boundless light erupted, and chains of restrictions, like heavenly chains, sealed off the entire void, wrapping around Qin Chen. These chains carried a destructive aura, and Qin Chen felt that even his body would surely be injured by the oppressive aura of these restrictions if he dared to force his way through—there was no doubt about it.
"Who goes there?
Daring to intrude upon my Tian Gong?"
A thunderous roar echoed, and soon after, two figures flew down from the stairs. They were two young individuals wearing disciple robes, with sharp brows and bright eyes, exuding an extraordinary demeanor, manifesting a shocking aura—indeed, they were two top-tier talents.
The two looked at Qin Chen, and Qin Chen instantly felt a powerful gaze penetrating through him, as if trying to see through him.
However, with a slight tremor, Qin Chen dispersed the two gazes. The ancient aura within him surged, like a deity or demon, unmoving as a mountain. Two mere early-stage Heavenly Saints naturally wouldn’t be able to see through his cultivation level.
“You two, I am Qin Chen, the champion of the Alchemist Division’s assessment in Yunzhou from Tian Gong. Due to personal matters, I arrived a bit late, and I am here specifically to report.”
Qin Chen produced the token given by Master Muye, speaking calmly.
However, he was secretly shocked. The Tian Gong had quite the influence, having arranged for two early-stage Heavenly Saint talents to guard the gates. Although they appeared youthful, they must have some years behind them. Regardless, they were still remarkable Heavenly Saints.
“What? You are Qin Chen?”
The two disciples were taken aback, their eyes flickering continuously as they sized up Qin Chen, as if they had heard of Qin Chen's name and were looking at an extraordinary person with endless curiosity.
“Haha, so it is Master Qin Chen! We are disciples of the Martial Artist Division of Tian Gong, and today happens to be our duty to guard the gates. Since Master is a successful candidate of the Alchemist Division's assessment, please come with us.”
