Invisible flames and heat waves rose in the air.
Lu Sheng walked slowly through the mysterious emerald forest. Then, he stopped before the wide plaque that shone with a faint golden light.
"So this is the Sun Divine Palace?"
He reached out and touched the wooden pillar of the God Palace. A gentle and continuous Mental Energy slowly surged into his palm.
He could sense the boundless Mental Energy behind the Mental Energy that was as vast as the ocean. It felt as if he was receiving water from a faucet through a layer of glass. The water flowed down slowly.
However, what he saw was the vast and boundless ocean behind the glass.
After a moment, he snapped back to his senses.
He put his hand down from the pillar.
Only then did he realize that he had absorbed about 200,000 Mental Energy units in such a short period of time. This was only a wooden pillar at the entrance of the Sun Divine Palace.
'Looks like … I might be able to reap great rewards this time.'
Lu Sheng slowly walked through the door. The heavy wooden door of the palace opened automatically before him. It revealed a spacious and simple hall.
There was a black statue of a three-legged Golden Crow in the center of the hall. Various fire-type divine beasts and gods were at its sides.
Lu Sheng swept his gaze across the hall and quickly fixed his eyes on the Vermilion Bird statue.
He waved his hand.
"Boom!"
The three-legged Golden Crow statue suddenly floated up and slowly switched places with the Vermilion Bird statue.
He nodded in satisfaction. Then, he carefully examined his surroundings.
There were no decorations in the hall. There were only some natural wooden patterns. These patterns naturally shone with mysterious fluorescent light.
At first glance, the light seemed white. However, upon closer inspection, it seemed to be golden.
Apart from that, there was nothing else special about the hall. It was just a palace.
Lu Sheng walked around the statue from the side and arrived at the back of the hall. In the center of the back of the hall, there was a silver-black ball that hovered in midair. He did not know what it was used for.
There were dense circles of ancient Divine Veins around the ball. The outermost layer was a divination diagram that resembled the Eight Trigrams. There was also a dense aura of the Sun True Fire's origin around it.
Lu Sheng was familiar with this aura. When he fought the Emperor Jun, he used this as a support to attack him.
Although the True Sun Fire was not as powerful as a Connate Numinous treasure, it still far surpassed ordinary Dharma treasures. It was a bona fide Numinous treasure level flame.
Lu Sheng looked left and right. Apart from this black ball, there was nothing else around him.
"This is the entrance." A voice sounded in his mind.
"Who!?" Lu Sheng's expression froze. At his current level, other than a Saint, no one else could suddenly make a sound in his mind.
"Which Saint is it?" He looked around and asked coldly.
After absorbing the World Origin Energy that was on the same level as the Primordial Violet Qi, if he could truly comprehend the World Origin Energy and completely control it, he might also be able to reach the level of a Sage.
However, that was a Saint of the Evil God Realm. It could only be counted if he was willing to return.
Therefore, he was not very afraid of the so-called Sages. Although he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them, at most, he could borrow the protection of the Evil God Realm's World Source Energy and leave this place.
"A child from another world. Since you've obtained the corresponding rights, you have to bear the same responsibilities. "
Soon, a white-haired old man holding a white horsetail whisk slowly appeared in front of him.
"Hiss …"
Lu Sheng sucked in a breath of cold air. He had not even sensed how the other party had gotten so close. Even a Saint should not be able to do this.
"You can call me Hong Jun, or you can call me the Heavenly Dao." The old man seemed very ordinary. There was no glow around him, and he couldn't see any magical powers. His clothes were made of the most ordinary materials.
However, because of this, Lu Sheng didn't dare to underestimate him.
Hearing that the other party called himself Hong Jun, his heart slowly calmed down.
Hong Jun was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial World. As long as he didn't affect the operation of the Great Dao, he would not be a threat to him.
This kind of supreme Saint was the safest among the Saints.
And the most dangerous among the Saints were the Western Second Sect Master and the Grandmaster of Heaven. The former could do anything to achieve great ambitions, while the latter had a strong personality and would not go back on his word.
"So it's Saint Hong Jun. Greetings." Lu Sheng hurriedly bowed.
Facing a Heavenly Dao, although he knew that the other party didn't care, he still had to show the necessary etiquette and respect.
Hong Jun was expressionless, but he didn't look at him at all. Instead, he stared at the black ball floating in midair.
The black ball, which was only the size of a soccer ball, looked like a ball of pitch-black ink. There were countless ripples flowing on its surface, and it did not seem calm.
"This is the core of the Heavenly Cycle Star Array. It's also the key point that seals an entrance that you can't imagine." Hong Jun's tone was calm, as if he was explaining something.
"May I ask why you're here?" Lu Sheng did not know why the strongest expert in this world had come here. He did not take a detour and asked directly.
"Do you know why I instructed Taiyi to establish the Demon Court? Why did I establish the Magi on the ground? "Hong Jun asked calmly.
"I don't know," Lu Sheng said calmly. However, a trace of curiosity rose in his heart.
Hong Jun's gaze slowly shifted from the black ball to Lu Sheng's face.
"When the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix fought, the world collapsed. Countless living beings struggled between destruction and rebirth. However, the Heavenly Dao did not interfere at that time. Later on, I personally passed the decree to establish the Demon Court. Do you know why? "
"I don't know …" Lu Sheng had a vague feeling that he was about to come into contact with some extremely secretive secret.
Hong Jun pointed at the black ball in front of him.
"Follow me in and take a look."
He took a step forward, and his body turned into a white light in the blink of an eye. He entered the ball.
Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then turned into a red light and entered the ball.
The ball seemed to be just an entrance. When the two of them entered, they felt as if they had entered a long tunnel.
After shuttling through the black tunnel for a few breaths, Lu Sheng finally rushed out. He saw Hong Jun, who was one step ahead of him, in a black cave that was neither too big nor too small.
This old man, who represented the Heavenly Dao, was standing quietly in front of a round arched door that rippled with gray light.
When Lu Sheng saw the gray door, he immediately thought of the door to the World of Pain built by The Mother Of Pain.
It was a very strange feeling.
The aura inside the door was like an enhanced version of the World of Pain. Its strength and density far surpassed the World of Pain.
"This is the door to the Desolate World," Hong Jun said slowly. "That's the illusion of pain, and also the edge of nothingness."
"I wonder why you brought me here, Saint?" Lu Sheng asked in confusion.
"You now control the Demon Court. You should know that the main function of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation is to seal this door, "Hong Jun said calmly.
"The universe is chaotic, and the heaven and earth are one. In fact, everything can be included in the concept of 'existence'," he continued. "In the infinite dimensions of the universe and even the gaps, there is also a power that corresponds to 'existence'."
"That is' nothingness'."
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and instantly thought of the Root of Nothingness.
That was an extremely mysterious and huge force in the Demonic Realm.
"So, this door here is the so-called power of nothingness?" he asked.
"Sort of." Hong Jun said calmly, "No matter what you do, the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation can't be moved. This place must be guarded. This is the reason for the existence of the Demon Court. "
"I understand." Lu Sheng nodded.
Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he thought of the Anomaly. He wanted to ask this Saint who was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao what kind of existence the so-called Anomaly was.
After all, this was the ruler of the universe who knew everything in the world. Or rather, the Great Dao of the universe itself was more suitable.
However, before he could speak, Hong Jun nodded, turned around, and slowly disappeared into the air.
Lu Sheng felt slightly regretful. He did not know if he would have the chance to meet such a powerful existence again.
When he came back to his senses, he continued to look at the gray door.
Faint wisps of gray aura seeped out of the door, and the gray aura gave him an extremely ominous feeling of danger.
'Could it be that the Mother Of Pain imitated this Desolate World and built the World of Pain?' He vaguely guessed the truth.
Compared to the aura of pain in the World of Pain, the gray aura here was like the difference between thick nitric acid and a slightly acidic drink.
And according to Saint Hong Jun, this Desolate World was only the edge of nothingness. It had not truly come into contact with nothingness.
'So the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation set up the seal for this …' Lu Sheng licked his lips and walked forward slowly. He extended a finger and touched the wisps of gray aura that were slowly dissipating into the air.
In an instant, the skin of his index finger was quickly covered in a layer of dry, pale wrinkles.
This feeling was as if all the nutrients and water in his finger, including even the energy, had been completely absorbed and devoured in an instant.
Lu Sheng observed carefully, and only then did he notice that the walls of this cave seemed to be continuously releasing wisps of invisible distortions. They looked like starlight, but also like some kind of cold and strange energy.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and left the tunnel.
With a whoosh, Lu Sheng rushed out of the black ball and slowly landed on the ground of the rear hall.
He turned around and looked at the black ball. With a wave of his hand, he released a ball of platinum-colored Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, which completely enveloped the black ball.
With this, he sensed that the black ball was also slowly releasing wisps of energy devouring aura.
'This is … a leak …' With a bad feeling, Lu Sheng immediately noticed that his Vermilion Bird Divine Fire was slowly being devoured.
He could not fight against this feeling.
'This is troublesome!'
He thought that he had gotten a great bargain. He did not expect that there would be explosives inside.
Lu Sheng returned to the front hall with a frown. He wandered around the statues, hoping to find something good left behind by Tai Yi.
However, it was clear that he did not find anything other than a few Golden Crow feathers.
Even the air in this wretched place was a diluted version of the Sun's True Flame. There were not many things that could survive in this environment.
Even if there were, they could not be left here for long.
Hence, apart from the Creation Wood and the Golden Crow feathers, Lu Sheng did not find anything else.
After a fruitless search, Lu Sheng had no choice but to touch the statues one by one. These statues had Mental Energy as well, but it was released very slowly.
It seemed that the temperature of hundreds of thousands of degrees affected the Mental Energy to a certain extent.
