The light in the surroundings was quite bright.
The basement looked quite spacious, and the furnishings around it were quite good.
Of course, in Chen Heng's eyes, the things in this basement were quite simple and crude.
Not only were there none of the high-precision instruments that he needed, but even the most basic things were also missing.
However, given the current situation, he could only make do with what he had.
There was no other way.
As soon as he stepped into it, a wave of scorching heat greeted him.
Even though he could not feel it from the outside, after walking in, he could easily sense the temperature. It was an incredibly hot feeling.
The temperature was incredibly high, and if a normal person walked in, they would not be able to stay here for long.
If a piece of meat was placed here, it would not take long for it to be roasted.
From this, one could see just how hot it was.
The source of this searing sensation was none other than the center of the basement.
There was a stone laboratory platform there, and there was a massive container on it.
Within the container, there was a massive golden crystal, which looked incredibly resplendent.
This crystal looked like a giant egg, but its entire body was golden. It looked more like a huge gem than an egg.
Chen Heng could sense that this golden crystal gave off exuberant lifeforce, which spread out in all directions.
Right now, the temperature in the entire basement was only a tiny bit of what this golden crystal gave off; it was not much at all.
Only by getting close to this golden crystal would one be able to sense its terrifying temperature.
It was a terrifying temperature that could roast a person or even vaporize them.
If it was not for the fact that Chen Heng had set up a Sorcerer Formation to bear the brunt of the heat, just this golden egg would have been able to cause massive destruction.
Chen Heng strode forward and walked in.
"Looks like you've gone through quite well."
Chen Heng walked to the center of the laboratory and looked at the massive golden egg. Sensing the exuberant life force coming from it, he smiled and said, "It's very likely that you'll be able to find it.
As if sensing Chen Heng's existence, the golden egg gave off faint mental ripples, seeming to be filled with joy and longing.
It seemed that it was very happy that Chen Heng had come.
"Got it, got it."
Sensing the will from within the egg, Chen Heng smiled and said, "I had some urgent matters to take care of, so I left for a while and did not come to see you."
"Fortunately, you didn't encounter any danger during this period of time."
He spoke softly, and there was a faint spiritual force in his words, which calmed the emotions of the giant egg in front of him.
As Chen Heng spoke, the mental ripples coming from the egg gradually calmed down.
Afterward, the two of them continued chatting.
Of course, most of the time, it was Chen Heng talking and the other person listening.
After all, he had yet to develop the ability to speak.
But it didn't matter.
In any case, Zhang Xuan was able to sense the other party's intentions through his mental fluctuations, so there was nothing difficult about it.
They chatted for a long time until a feeling of exhaustion came from the egg. Only then did Chen Heng stop and have the egg continue to sleep.
"Looks like it won't be long before the next transformation."
Standing there and looking at the massive golden egg, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he thought to himself.
The massive golden egg in front of him was Chen Heng's subdued beast, Xiao Red.
Back then, Xiao Red had just been an ordinary Flying Dragon. Even though it was not bad among subdued beasts, it was still far from being comparable to top-tier subdued beasts.
In order to make up for this, Chen Heng had used all sorts of methods. He had used his power to collect special bloodlines from this world and used the Heaven Devouring Scripture to infuse them into Xiao Red's body, causing it to slowly transform.
This was not difficult for Chen Heng, and he had done it many times in the past.
It was quite suitable for Xiao Red.
In just a few months, Xiao Red's bloodline had gone through many transformations and had become even more powerful.
As for Lil 'Red, it was undergoing a new transformation.
Once this transformation was complete, Xiao Red's bloodline would most likely become top-tier, and it would not be any weaker than the top-tier subdued beasts in this world.
From the current situation, its transformation was going quite smoothly.
Everything was going according to plan.
To Chen Heng, this was quite good.
"The effects between subdued beasts and subdued beasts are mutual …"
Standing there, Chen Heng dealt with the matters at hand as many thoughts flashed through his mind, "Xiao Red is still a bit away from transforming.
"However, after I complete my transformation and reach Level 4, Xiao Red's transformation should not be a problem anymore."
This thought flashed through his mind.
The growth of a subdued beast would cause the subdued beast's power to increase.
Conversely, the subdued beast's improvement and breakthrough would also cause the subdued beast's growth and improvement.
As such, Chen Heng's advancement to Level 4 was not only a massive improvement for himself, but it was also the same for his subdued beast.
With his help, Lil 'Red's transformation shouldn't be much of a problem.
After this transformation, Xiao Red would most likely be of much greater help to Chen Heng.
Standing there, various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
After a moment, he turned around and walked to the other side.
Following this, he came to the place he had prepared.
This was a custom-made room, and it was not too far away from Xiao Red's main room, but it was not too close either.
Within the room, there were special Sorcerer Formations that could isolate the aura and power that leaked out during Chen Heng's advancement, preventing any accidents.
To Chen Heng, this would help him avoid some trouble.
After all, even though the chances were not high, if someone really came to disturb him during his advancement, it would be risky for Chen Heng.
Therefore, it was best to be more cautious if one could be more cautious.
After coming to the custom-made room and making all of his preparations, Chen Heng turned around and found a place to sit down before slowly closing his eyes.
After closing his eyes, his surroundings instantly darkened.
Within Chen Heng's body, massive amounts of power were brewing.
Psychokinesis, magic power, divine power, killing power …
The various powers within Chen Heng's body began to circulate, becoming more and more active.
Following this, Chen Heng used his powerful mental energy to circulate these powers according to the Nameless Tempering Technique.
During this process, waves of aura rose up from Chen Heng's body.
Only after a while did his aura calm down and not leak out at all.
From the outside, it looked as if he had fallen asleep. There was no aura at all, and it was incredibly stable.
However, in a place that ordinary people did not know, his power was increasing. It was slowly increasing until it reached the final step.
Within Chen Heng's body, a golden True Spirit gave off brilliant light, making people feel that it was holy and dignified.
Time gradually passed.
After some time, when his slumbering body once again gave off life, Chen Heng slowly opened his eyes.
A brand new power appeared.
Within Chen Heng's body, after a long time, his body, which had become much weaker, once again gave off life, and the vigorous qi blood once again appeared.
"Is it over?"
Chen Heng silently opened his eyes and sensed the changes in his body, feeling quite surprised.
The advancement process this time was much smoother than he had expected.
Of course, this was not too surprising.
After all, he had not started from the beginning and had instead been reborn.
Even in this world, the key to reaching Stage 4 was to awaken one's source energy and turn it into a True Spirit.
From how Chen Heng saw it, this was the process of refining one's source energy into a True Spirit.
This process was incredibly difficult for those who had never experienced it before, and it could be said that they would most likely die.
However, for Chen Heng, it was incredibly simple.
After all, his True Spirit had already awakened, so he didn't need to take too much risk to awaken the hidden power in his Origin and awaken his True Spirit once again.
This was equivalent to the greatest hurdle for reaching Stage 4, and it did not exist for Chen Heng.
Naturally, it went very smoothly.
What surprised Chen Heng was the speed at which he advanced.
Originally, Chen Heng had thought that if he wanted to advance to Stage 4, there would not be much of a problem. However, it was hard to say how long it would take, and it would take at least one or two months.
However, it seemed that it had only taken half a month at most.
To Chen Heng, this was far ahead of time.
This was naturally surprising.
After confirming that he had successfully advanced, Chen Heng did not immediately do anything and instead sensed it.
After sensing it for a while, he quickly understood why he had completed his advancement ahead of schedule.
Wang Zhong.
While Chen Heng had fallen silent, Wang Zhong had gone out to cause trouble again. He had massacred many places, providing Chen Heng with a large amount of slaughtering power.
This slaughtering power turned into real power, greatly speeding up the process of Chen Heng's advancement. As such, it was able to shorten the time it took for him to advance.
After realizing this, Chen Heng felt quite speechless. In the end, he shook his head and got up to leave.
After walking out of the room, he went to the center of the basement and looked at Little Red's status.
As expected, after Chen Heng had advanced, Little Red had also gone through many changes.
The hurdle that had been very difficult for it to overcome before was no longer a problem for Little Red.
Now, after being stimulated by this new power, it had fallen into a deep sleep and started to go through changes.
This was undoubtedly a good result.
However, compared to Chen Heng, Little Red's transformation would take much longer.
According to Chen Heng's estimations, it would take at least two or three months.
Of course, if Chen Heng was willing to send large amounts of slaughtering power into Little Red's body, he would be able to shorten this time.
However, if that was the case, it would be easy for new problems to arise.
As such, Chen Heng did not do much and only silently turned and left this region.
After reaching Stage 4, all of Chen Heng's power had gone through a whole new level.
As such, he would be quite busy during this period of time.
.....
"Your Majesty, have you learned it?"
Elsewhere.
In an empty room, Ye looked at Lu Yao and said solemnly.
At this moment, she had already returned to her human form and was giving Lu Yao a serious lesson. Her small face appeared quite serious.
Sitting opposite her, Lu Yao also looked quite serious. Hearing Ye's words, she nodded seriously, indicating that she understood.
During this period of time, Lu Yao's life was quite relaxed.
Ever since she had narrowly escaped from the historical remnant, Lu Yao had returned home.
After hiding for a while, with Ye's help, she had successfully sealed the Ancient Battle Armor within her body.
The Ancient Battle Armor was a precious treasure, but it was not of much help to Lu Yao right now. Instead, because of the mecha's existence, it had placed a great burden on her.
After all, she was not Chen Heng and did not have that much power.
With her current strength, she would find it difficult to even withstand the power of a mecha, let alone piloting a mecha. She would feel a great deal of pressure from just doing so.
As such, it was better to directly seal the mecha to avoid some risks.
At the same time, this would prevent the mecha's aura from being discovered by others.
At least for now, the same thing that happened in the secret realm last time, where the existence of a mech was discovered would not happen again.
Recently, her strength had grown quite well. Under Ye's guidance and help, she had made great progress.
If this continued, she would not be far from Stage 2.
Of course, the reason why she was so fast was because of the Golden Mark within Lu Yao's body.
After all, the Golden Mark still existed within her body, and as Lu Yao grew, it continuously released power.
As the reincarnation of the Gold King, Lu Yao did not need to cultivate step by step. As time passed, her strength would continuously increase as the Golden Mark awakened.
Without a doubt, this was a cheat.
While she could cheat in terms of strength, she still had to start from scratch in other areas.
It was because of this that when Lu Yao was busy, she would sneak out with Ye to study.
After another busy study, Lu Yao walked out of her room with a bitter expression and walked home.
As for Ye, he once again turned into a puppy.
The two of them looked quite normal, as if they were normal people taking a walk with a dog.
It was just that after returning home, they sensed an unusual atmosphere.
"Is this student Lu Yao?"
Within Lu Yao's home, there was already someone squatting there. It was a very young woman.
The woman was extremely beautiful. She wore an ordinary shirt and trousers, but her posture was very straight. At this moment, she looked at Lu Yao with a smile on her face.
"We're from the Guards Department.
"Can we trouble you to help us?"
She looked at Lu Yao standing in front of her and said softly.
It was just that standing in front of her and listening to the woman's words, Lu Yao's expression fell and she started to mutter inwardly.
Even though she had experienced many things in a short period of time and had awakened the Golden King's mark, Lu Yao was still an ordinary girl.
For an ordinary girl like her, suddenly having someone from the government come looking for her was something to be nervous about.
This was especially so since she had some secrets that could not be revealed.
However, since she was already here, there was nothing she could do. She could only obediently follow the woman in front of her and leave.
"So, you admit that you entered the mystic realm that time."
Within the quiet room, the woman from before sat there and said thoughtfully.
By the side, there were a few other uniformed investigators taking notes.
"According to what you said, after you entered that secret realm, you only participated in the trial and chose to give up because you failed the trial?"
She continued to ask.
"Yes … Yes …"
Lu Yao sat cross-legged in front of the woman, and listened to her words. She nodded nervously, and her legs began to shake.
From the looks of it, she was incredibly nervous.
In front of these officials, she had directly lied.
She did not tell them the true process of that trial and only said that she had entered and failed.
There was nothing she could do.
If she were to tell the truth, the situation would become very complicated. Not only would she be exposed to unknown dangers, but even the Ancient Mech in her body might be taken away by someone else.
After all, this was not an ordinary item but a true ancient Mecha.
If the ancient Mecha had already recognized an owner, it would be fine. Before the owner died, no one could take it away.
However, for a Mecha that had not fully recognized an owner like her, it was different.
If the officials found out, they would definitely use various reasons to take it back.
At most, they would give her a large amount of compensation.
This was something that Lu Yao and Ye could not accept.
As such, she directly lied.
Fortunately, the investigators present didn't doubt Lu Yao's words.
After all, they had never thought that someone would be able to cheat in the Hero's Mecha Trial and take away a complete Mecha.
If there was someone who could do this, then that person would definitely be an incredible expert, and not the ordinary Lu Yao in front of him.
As such, they did not doubt this at all.
They had not come to find Lu Yao for this.
