Thinking of this, Qin Chen slowly walked towards the Dark Divine Mountain.
"My Lord, what are you..." Fei E asked curiously.
Could it be that the imperial envoy is also interested in this dark divine fruit?
With the identity of the imperial envoy, if he wants the dark divine fruit, it would only take a word, and Lord Sikong and Lord Shihen would probably be eager to deliver it to him, right?
"The dark divine fruit is quite interesting. What, do you want to inquire about this seat's actions?" Qin Chen casually glanced at Fei E.
"It was this subordinate's thoughtless words." Fei E was suddenly alarmed.
Damn it.
He wished he could slap himself.
Why did he speak unnecessarily? What if the imperial envoy wanted to understand if there were any problems with the Black Jade Continent controlled by Lord Sikong and Lord Shihen? If he asked like this, wouldn't the imperial envoy think he was probing for information on behalf of Lord Sikong?
Damn it.
Absolutely damn it.
Fei E immediately dared not speak, trembling as he followed Qin Chen like a quail.
He made up his mind; as long as the imperial envoy did not command, he would do nothing to avoid misunderstandings.
Qin Chen stepped towards the Divine Mountain.
He thought to himself, regardless of whether the dark divine fruit has any effect on him, as long as he goes up the mountain and shows interest in the dark divine fruit, he would inevitably come into conflict with the owner of the young man who rushed up earlier.
It was said that there were many prodigies from the Dark Clan on this Divine Mountain, and he might use this opportunity to kill a few geniuses of the Dark Clan, weakening their power.
At the very least, he needed to destroy the dark divine fruit on the Dark Divine Mountain, preventing the geniuses of the Dark Clan from comprehending the origin of this universe.
Of course, what Qin Chen hoped for the most was that the dark divine fruit would also be effective for him.
In this way, he could completely blend into the Dark Clan and wouldn't have to worry about being exposed even if he encountered the supreme of the Dark Clan.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen couldn't help but show an expression of anticipation.
His disguise as a member of the Dark Clan was not solely to eliminate a few of their people, nor just for the purpose of moving through this continent; it was also to further strengthen himself.
Currently, he was stuck at the pinnacle heaven venerable realm, just a step away from becoming supreme.
However, he could feel that this step would not be easy to break through.
However, if he could grasp the rules of the Dark Clan, it would greatly assist Qin Chen in breaking through to supreme.
After all, the Dark Clan was a powerful force from the cosmic sea.
Qin Chen had carefully compared the rules of this universe and those of the Dark Clan; under similar rules, the Dark Clan was not weaker than this universe, and in some respects, they might even be stronger.
Because the history of the Dark Clan was much longer, and there were likely more transcendent experts among them; otherwise, how could they have the qualifications to invade this universe?
Just to give a simple example.
Any expert in this universe, as long as they possess dark power, can burst forth with strength far beyond their own cultivation at critical moments.
Doesn't this indicate that the Dark Clan's power, in some ways, transcends this universe?
Of course, this was just a guess by Qin Chen; he needed more examples to validate his speculation.
With these thoughts in mind, he continued to walk steadily up the mountain.
Not arrogant, not impatient.
Though it seemed casual, every step Qin Chen took was in comprehension of the path of this Dark Divine Mountain.
As soon as he entered this divine mountain, he began to comprehend.
This Dark Divine Mountain was not tall, but it was extremely majestic, with an imposing presence that exuded an indescribable grandeur.
As Qin Chen walked, a strange feeling rose in his heart, as if a mysterious power was compelling him to kneel down in worship, as if it wanted him to submit from the depths of his soul.
