"The Underworld Sect?" Kim Do-myung was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this sect. He also understood that Zhao Pinfang was unlikely to be talking about a sect from Earth. Obviously, this so-called Underworld Sect was related to the Divine Armament Catacombs. Following this line of thought, this should be an extraterrestrial civilization!
Various thoughts surfaced in Kim Do-myung's mind. He did not notice that Wang Baole's eyes narrowed imperceptibly when he heard the words "Underworld Sect". His heart was in turmoil. Wang Baole would never have thought that Zhao Pinfang would know about the Underworld Sect!
However, Wang Baole was still an expert when it came to self-control. Hence, he took the opportunity to open his mouth and put on a blank expression as he asked doubtfully.
"Underworld Sect?"
In reality, Zhao Pinfang did not pay attention to Wang Baole and Kim Do-myung at all. His question sounded like a question, but he was actually mumbling to himself. He did not think that Wang Baole and Kim Do-myung would know about the Underworld Sect. After all, this was a mysterious sect that had once existed. Even he had spent many years researching it. It was only after he made a discovery in the Divine Armament Catacombs that he finally found some clues from the ancient greenish-bronze sword's history that had been accumulated in countless fragments.
"The Underworld Sect … In its glory days, it wielded the starry sky's reincarnation technique and guided the souls of all living beings in the starry sky … To a certain extent, the Underworld Sect could be said to be the masters of death in this starry sky!"
"I even think that there is a name that fits their identity better. That is … the Heavenly Path!"
"Perhaps they are the Heavenly Path. Perhaps they are the manifestation of the Heavenly Path's will. Or perhaps they are the messengers of the Heavenly Path. They are here to maintain and operate the rules of the entire starry sky!"
"According to the records in some of the fragments, the Underworld Sect was once thought to be fabricated and an illusory existence. However, with the discovery of ruins and the appearance of Underworld Artifacts, the Underworld Sect was proven to have truly existed. Furthermore … the age of its existence and the extent of its glory are probably beyond the imagination of future generations!" Zhao Pinfang's eyes were filled with infatuation. His voice also became excited. It seemed to be filled with anticipation, yearning, and reverence.
"Can you imagine? The people of the Underworld Sect herded the entire starry sky. Wherever there is death, the Underworld Sect guided the souls there … This mural depicts a person of the Underworld Sect guiding the souls of the dead beyond this dying planet …
"Unfortunately … from the few records records that I have found, many years ago, the Underworld Sect … had disappeared. Perhaps it was destroyed or perhaps it had left. in any case, it was no longer in existence.
"Even though the Dark Sect is no longer around … the items they left behind still exist. This Divine Weapon from Mars is not a weapon in the conventional sense. According to my analysis and judgment, it is highly likely that it is a Dark Artifact left behind from the era of the Dark Sect!" Zhao Pinfang took a deep breath. After mumbling to himself, he raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the starry sky around them dissipated and turned back into the cave. The black-robed man and the ship in the mural also disappeared without a trace. Everything returned to normal.
However, regardless of whether it was Kim Do-myung or Wang Baole, their breathing quickened. Their hearts raced. To Kim Do-myung, the Underworld Sect was like a distant story. However, when this story pointed to the Divine Armament Catacombs under the new city, it was as if ancient times and modern times had overlapped. A strange light shone in his eyes. Reverence and desire for the era when the Underworld Sect herded the starry sky rose from the bottom of his heart.
He also wanted to be strong enough to control death and reincarnate with a flip of his hand.
As for Wang Baole, he appeared to be as shocked as Kim Do-myung. However, in reality, the shock in his heart far exceeded what he showed on the surface. This was because he knew about the Underworld Sect and had cultivated the Underworld Art. It could be said that sometimes, he even felt that he could be considered someone related to the Underworld Sect.
Wang Baole was extremely shocked to hear about the history of the Underworld Sect under such a status. After all, Little Missy hadn't explained it in such detail. She had only mentioned it briefly.
Because of this, Zhao Pinfang's words seemed to have opened a door for Wang Baole to understand the Underworld Sect. It gave him a deeper understanding of the Underworld Sect. At the same time, his desire was different from Kim Do-myung's. Wang Baole had a vague feeling that if he continued to cultivate the Underworld Art, when he reached the peak, perhaps … he would be able to herd the starry sky?
This thought immediately caused Wang Baole's heart to race and his breathing to quicken. After exchanging glances with Kim Do-myung, they both looked at Zhao Pinfang.
Zhao Pinfang had also calmed down. When he turned his head, his gaze fell on Wang Baole and Little Missy. He seemed to want to say more about the Underworld Sect, but his voice transmission ring suddenly vibrated. After checking it, he frowned slightly and ended the conversation, choosing to leave.
However, before he left, he summoned the illusory woman and asked her to bring Wang Baole and Little Missy to visit three more laboratories. At the same time, he also approved the construction of the new city's experimental base.
"I can approve the construction of the experimental base, but both of you must remember one thing. The Divine Armament Catacombs is related to the Underworld Sect. You must be vigilant at all times. Once the barrier disappears, perhaps we can uncover part of … the mysterious veil of the Underworld Sect that has been covered by history!" When he finished speaking, Zhao Pinfang turned and left. There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. It was obvious that the information he had received through voice transmission was very important to him. However, when he reached the exit of Laboratory Number Three, Zhao Pinfang paused. He turned back to look at Wang Baole and suddenly spoke.
"Wang Baole, in the future, eat less snacks and exercise more. You're also a Primary Rank Three City Lord. Don't eat snacks all the time. It's not appropriate. Also, you should work harder in your cultivation and form your Azoth Core as soon as possible!" When he finished speaking, he glared at Wang Baole and left.
Wang Baole was a little dumbfounded. He felt that Zhao Pinfang's last sentence was a little off.
"He's not my father. Why does he sound like he's my father? Besides, I'm already so slim. Why do I need to lose weight?! "
With such doubts and grievances in their hearts, Wang Baole and Kim Do-myung followed the illusory woman's lead and visited three more laboratories. However, on the one hand, these three laboratories had a strong scientific atmosphere and they couldn't understand much of it. On the other hand, because of the incident with the Dark Sect, the two of them were still in shock. Hence, they weren't in the mood to look around. Very quickly, they left the experimental base under the illusory woman's lead.
It was only when they stepped into the transportation spell formation that Wang Baole finally calmed down. He turned back to look at the illusory woman who looked exactly like Little Missy. He then looked at the endless depths of the experimental base that seemed to contain countless secrets. He felt that in here … there must be even more secrets that the Federation didn't want to disclose to the public!
"Perhaps there's a Yuanying here," Wang Baole muttered to himself. With all sorts of questions in mind, he teleported away with Kim Do-myung.
When the two of them appeared in the main Martian city, they exhaled at the same time. They didn't stop at the main Martian city but took the cruiser and headed straight for the new city.
On the way, Kim Do-myung was very satisfied with this visit. On one hand, he had learned a lot of secrets. On the other hand, the experimental base had been approved. He felt that his decision to bring Wang Baole here was very wise.
In reality, he didn't tell Wang Baole that he had applied to meet Zhao Pinfang at the very beginning. However, Zhao Pinfang had ignored him completely. Hence, Kim Do-myung thought about it and once again applied to have Wang Baole's name published in the newspaper.
This time, Zhao Pinfang finally agreed to meet him.
This agreement also allowed Kim Do-myung to prepare himself. He guessed that Wang Baole would be embarrassed in front of Zhao Pinfang. Since he had made a contribution, Zhao Pinfang probably wouldn't get rid of him after he had outlived his usefulness.
"However, Master Zhao only looked at him and didn't do anything else … Could it be that he thinks that this Wang Baole is pretty good? I don't think that's possible. However, if that wasn't the case, why would he reveal so many secrets and even indirectly help Wang Baole understand the refinement of Dharmic Armaments … "Although Kim Do-myung had his doubts, he was still very satisfied with this reward.
As for Wang Baole, he also felt that he had gained a lot. While learning about the history of the Underworld Sect, he had also gained some understanding of the Dharmic Armament Will Heaven.
The former could broaden Wang Baole's horizons, while the latter would be of greater help to his current research on Dharmic Armaments.
However, Wang Baole still felt that there was something wrong with Zhao Pinfang's gaze and final words. He thought about how Kim Do-myung had taken the initiative to pull him over. Although he didn't analyze it in detail, he could tell that Kim Do-myung had made use of some of his characteristics to complete the approval and greeting.
At this thought, Wang Baole raised his eyebrows. He suddenly patted Kim Do-myung on the shoulder and spoke with a faint smile.
"Old Jin, as you know, I've been researching Dharmic Armaments recently and lack references. Lend me fifty of them later."
Kim Do-myung, who was in a good mood, instinctively rejected Wang Baole's request.
"Why don't you go rob me? Where would I have so many? I don't have any!"
"Is that so? Actually, I feel that the new city doesn't necessarily need this experimental base. Moreover, I think Master Zhao seems to have misunderstood me. Forget it, I'll go back and tell the Territorial Lord that we don't need this experimental base anymore." Wang Baole spoke plainly, but he snorted in his heart. He thought to himself, Little Ming, oh Little Ming, if you didn't pay a price for borrowing my influence, would I have agreed?
When Wang Baole said that, Kim Do-myung immediately smiled bitterly. He could tell that this was Wang Baole expressing his dissatisfaction. No matter what, he had to take something back today.
"One, really … I only have two on me, and my family won't give me any more. I can only lend you one!"
"Give me one? That's not good. After all, it's so valuable. Forget it, since you're so sincere, you'll be sad if I reject you. Forget it, I'll accept it. Just this once. "Wang Baole patted his stomach and then spread his hands helplessly.
Kim Do-myung was about to go crazy. He had said to borrow, not give … Although it wasn't his first time witnessing Wang Baole's shamelessness, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for his Dharmic Armament. However, he also understood that if Wang Baole didn't achieve his goal, this b * stard might really send a voice transmission to the Territorial Lord. At the same time, he was glad that Wang Baole didn't know the truth. Otherwise, he would probably extort even more … Therefore, he gritted his teeth.
"Sure, but you have to promise that you won't pursue this matter in the future!"
