Chapter 796: Secret Realm

This was a giant building with nine floors.
Each floor was more than six meters high, and the height of the building exceeded sixty meters.
Most startling was the fact that instead of being built in an urban area, the building was situated on a cliff. It went through clouds, as if the people in the building could touch the sky.
White pigeons flapped their wings as they flew into the building like tired birds returning to their nests.
Many men in green robes took letters off the pigeons’ legs. Then they quickly copied the information and sent it to upper management, revealing a tightly controlled system.
This large amount of information had been collated by spies and reported from the lower levels to the upper levels. Finally, it reached the ninth floor at the top.
This was an antique attic with simple furnishings.
A zither was hung on the wall. There was a chessboard on the table, together with black and white chess pieces, and green smoke rose from the incense burner beside the chessboard.
Aside from that, there was only a bed and a chair.
A person was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His red lips and white teeth implied his handsome features, but his eyes and his forehead were covered by white gauze, behind which the color of blood was faintly visible.
Chen Qiyou!
It was evident from his presence here that this building was the headquarters of the famous Golden Breeze Drizzle Building.
“Building Master!”
A grandmaster walked in respectfully and placed a few wooden planks in front of Chen Qiyou. “This is the most up-to-date heaven-grade intelligence!”
These wooden planks were made of red sandalwood, emanating a pleasant fragrance. Vigorous calligraphy strokes were inscribed on them.
After putting them down, the grandmaster dared not tarry and quickly left the room.
Chen Qiyou waved his hand and grabbed the wooden planks. He obtained the information by rubbing against the inscriptions.
*Fourteen hours ago, Divine Doctor Sacred Hands drank at the Immortal Admiring Restaurant in Sea Gazing Commandery? He ordered a pot of osmanthus liquor, a plate of alcoholic peas, and a plate of seven fragrance beef… *
Divine Doctor Sacred Hands was a top medical expert in the Pugilistic World. Rumor had it that he could resurrect the dead.
Of course, Chen Qiyou had too much life experience to believe in such rumors. However, the doctor was indeed able to heal broken limbs and transplant organs like the heart and the eyes.
Chen Qiyou was looking for this person because he wanted to have an eye transplant and recover from blindness.
Unfortunately, the Divine Doctor enjoyed traveling the Pugilistic World, so it was difficult to locate him. Furthermore, given his capricious personality, it would take some trouble to invite him.
“However… he owes the Zhou family a favor. If I let the Zhou family invite him, he’ll definitely accept the request… The Zhou family, hehe, has way too much incriminating evidence in my hands…”
Chen Qiyou put down the wooden planks and smiled. “Besides… I know what the Divine Doctor wants quite well. I can promise that I’ll support his attempt at a brain transplant if he heals my eyes, ensuring that I can convince him to help me!”
This capricious Divine Doctor had done many controversial deeds, such as transplanting a dog’s leg to a living human.
Recently, he had obtained an unorthodox book named ‘Green Capsule Scripture Additional Recording’ and was intrigued by the brain transplant method in it, doing quite a few experiments covertly.
The Golden Breeze Drizzle Building collected most of the intelligence in the world, and this intelligence could be used directly against its subjects.
Chen Qiyou shook his head and took another wooden plank. “… The Demon Sect’s Sky Fiend Dao Master has appeared and seems to have mastered the Sky Fiend Claw and the Evil God Armor? That’s a bit troublesome. As the second Demonic Armament, the power of the Sky Fiend Claw is terrifying. The Evil God Armor ranks fifth among Demonic Armaments, and the Fatal Evil Arts that accompanies it is invincible unless attacked by the top three Divine or Demonic Armaments… * Sigh*… Why is it that the Pugilistic World always favors the Demon Dao over the Orthodox Dao?”
That thought reminded him of the Blood Imbibing Saber owner, Nangong Wuwang, and his face convulsed in rage.
In the battle at the Jiang family’s residence, Nangong Wuwang had dug out his eyes and snatched away the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror. This had ruined his reputation, and he would always hold a grudge against Nangong Wuwang!
“Nangong Wuwang… Nangong Wuwang…”
Chen Qiyou mumbled and touched the third wooden plank.
As the Drizzle Building Master, he had contributed to Fang Yuan’s infamous reputation all over the world.
He had also ordered his subordinates to collect all information about Nangong Wuwang and send it to him.
The third plank, as expected, recorded the relevant information. “Yesterday, Nangong Wuwang was witnessed in Falling Leaf City of Clear Lotus Commandery. After a while, they lost track of him?”
“Useless trash!” Chen Qiyou cursed aloud. “And the Kong family… how can they possibly deceive me? They appear venerable, but they bully the weak and fear the strong. After my defeat, they’d only say some harsh words. I’m afraid they’ve already hid away!”
The ranking of Divine Armaments was not a pretense.
While the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror could not cause any damage, its auxiliary function was very frightening. Even a grandmaster with this armament could trouble a Heavenly Phenomenon martial artist.
If a common Heavenly Phenomenon obtained it, they would become a top-ranking expert in the Pugilistic World.
If Chen Qiyou were to fight against the Kong family’s current armament wielder before he had lost the mirror, he was confident of gaining the upper hand within thirty moves, and he could resolve the Righteousness Formulation and defeat the opponent within three hundred moves.
With the ability to defeat him, Nangong Wuwang could also easily slaughter the Kong family.
Any martial artist could see the huge difference between their abilities.
Therefore, the Kong family would only curse and take no action at all.
“Nangong Wuwang, I won’t spare your life… The Golden Breeze Drizzle Building has spies all over the world. Although I can’t cope with you, can’t I cope with your father?” Chen Qiyou muttered. “I’ll find Nangong Wentian and your three sisters even if I have to dig deep into the ground…”
“Hehe… Who would’ve expected that White Robe Chen Qiyou was reduced to using such despicable tactics…” The voice of an elder suddenly rang out beside Chen Qiyou.
He shivered and then immediately relaxed. “You are?”
Even though Chen Qiyou had lost his eyes, he still had his Heavenly Phenomenon cultivation. Since this person could enter the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building’s top floor without being discovered or falling into one of the traps, it was highly likely that this person was in the same realm as him.
It would be laughable if he called for his subordinates to deal with someone like this.
“Chen Qiyou, your Heavenly Eye was so sharp in the past. Can’t you even recognize my voice now?” the visitor lamented.
“It’s you!” Chen Qiyou appeared to have understood something. “What about it… Are you here to laugh at me?”
“If I was here to laugh at you, why would I show myself?” the mysterious person said with a laugh. “Moreover… I’ve brought you a present. Divine Doctor Sacred Hands is waiting outside. He can transplant eyes for you as soon as you allow him to enter.”
“Oh?” Chen Qiyou’s heart wavered. “Then I should express my gratitude for your help!”
“The Demon Dao is currently overpowering the Orthodox Dao. As martial artists of the Orthodox Dao, we should collaborate!” the mysterious person tried to persuade him. “If the Building Master doesn’t take action, all the creatures in the world will continue to suffer. Do they deserve it?”
“You’re overestimating my power!” Chen Qiyou shook his head. “I’m merely a blind man right now. Even if my eyes are cured, I’d only be a common Heavenly Phenomenon without the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror…”
“Hehe… Every Heavenly Phenomenon is a legend. You’re by no means common… Furthermore, your knowledge covers astronomy and geography, and we all admire your Wind-and-Water Seer Spell,” said the mysterious person.
Chen Qiyou smiled and came to a conclusion. “So you’re eyeing on my Wind-and-Water Dragon Searching Technique!”
The Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror enabled its owner to observe the changes in the providence of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The owner could see things as vast as the Qi of mountains, rivers, and stars, and things as detailed as the Qi of a martial artist.
Although he had lost the Divine Armament, he still retained the experience. His eyes were much sharper than a common Heavenly Phenomenon.
With that thought, he clenched his teeth.
If he had the Heaven Earth Man Providence Mirror, fighting this mysterious Heavenly Phenomenon would be a piece of cake.
“Wait!” A thought suddenly flashed in his mind and he questioned immediately, “Do you want to go to that place?”
“That’s right. It’s time to go there again… The secret treasure is concealed too well, corresponding with the stars and the earth veins. We’re not confident of locating it without your help!” the mysterious person admitted his intention frankly.
“No wonder why Sky Fiend Dao Master also appeared…” Chen Qiyou muttered. He knew how attractive that place was toward martial artists, especially Heavenly Phenomenons like themselves!
“Since that’s your plan, how many Divine Armament owners have you contacted?”
He shivered at the thought of the danger in that place.
“Not many. Just seven, including you!”
“Seven? If the Demon Dao sends a few more martial artists, that would be sufficient!” Chen Qiyou sighed. “It’s a pity… that I’m blind. You can’t count me a Divine Armament owner anymore!”
“Who dares look down on White Robe Chen?” The mysterious person laughed. “You’ll recover after getting a new pair of eyes. As for Nangong Wuwang… while he’s somewhat sly, he’s not a big deal. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to cope with him after this event!”
“All right. I’ll collaborate with you!” Chen Qiyou nodded.
He found it appropriate to go to the secret realm before dealing with Fang Yuan.
That was because that place was a real temptation to all martial artists!
After entering the secret realm, martial artists of the Orthodox Dao and the Demon Dao could put their grudges aside. There were even many cases where they cooperated in the exploration.
Of course, there were also many martial artists who schemed and even fought against one another.
…
“Ah… You’re Sanguine Demon Nangong Wuwang?”
In the territory of a sect, the elderly sect master appeared cool and composed seeing a challenger, but he was scared out of his wits when he recognized Fang Yuan.
“I’m just here to take something today. Don’t mind me!” said Fang Yuan as he smiled, but the Blood Imbibing Saber was shining in his hand.
So? Have you sensed your body part?
It’s in the sect’s treasury at the back! the Sanguine Demon answered quickly.
“Great!”
Fang Yuan glanced over the many terrified sect members and barged straight into the sect.
The white-haired elderly sect master moved his mouth, but did not dare stop Fang Yuan. Finally, he let out a long sigh.
