596: idea

After the matter here was settled, the group continued forward.

Among other things, the spirit source fruit had to be obtained first.

And Dongfang Chen was now secretly pondering in his heart.

Originally, the Alliance with the Wang family was to deal with Zhan Lang.

Now, Zhan Lang didn't seem to have any intention of getting rid of him.

After all, they had just teamed up to fight the giant snake.

Although it was Zhan Lang alone, it could be seen that Zhan Lang didn't seem to be that ruthless.

Then, he should find a time to complete the task His Imperial Father had given him.

After all, this was the Great Luo Secret Realm, and the most fundamental things must involve Da Luo.

The reason he came in this time was also related to the matter His Imperial Father had entrusted to him.

And if he kept staying with the Wang family,

then a portion of whatever they obtained would inevitably have to be given to the Wang family.

Otherwise, they would directly fall out.

If both sides fought, he might not necessarily gain an advantage.

Rather than being in a difficult position then, it was better to make a decision sooner.

Time flew by.

Before they knew it, night had fallen.

They had already entered the central area, bypassing the place where the giant snake had previously coiled.

At this moment, only a short distance remained to their final destination.

However, because it was night, there might be a certain degree of danger in the Secret Realm.

So the group temporarily found a place to rest.

At this moment, by a cliff.

Wang Yan and Wang Gou sat cross-legged.

Wang Yan spoke.

"This Great Luo Secret Realm is truly profound. I didn't expect it to be exactly the same as the outside world, with the sun rising in the east and setting in the west."

"I just don't know if this is a great sun evolved through some secret method, or if this Secret Realm was originally cut from reality."

Wang Yan looked at the full moon rising in the sky and couldn't help but speak.

Wang Gou chuckled softly upon hearing this.

"I've observed this place; it's not cut from the real world, but a complete Da Luo creation. In other words, it's a new Small World."

"And the sun and moon we see are not the same as those in the outside world; they might be evolved through some other means."

"It's just an Immortal King's method done to reflect reality."

"But speaking of Immortal King Da Luo, I'd like to know, what Realm lies above Da Luo?"

Wang Gou murmured softly.

Now, the Da Luo Realm can create a Small World with their bare hands.

Even reflecting the sun and moon in reality, what kind of methods would the terrifying existences above this possess?

Would he one day be able to reach that end?

When he thought of this, a strange emptiness rose in his heart.

He had been in this world for an unknown number of years.

Until now, he had never seen the path forward.

He originally thought that with the System, he could have a smooth journey and show off and slap faces.

Unexpectedly, he met a Clan Chief whom even with a cheat, he couldn't catch up to.

Although his brothers around him were all inferior to him,

now that they had Ascended to the Immortal Realm, everything seemed to have returned to the starting point.

Wang Gou was actually a little tired.

Along this journey, he had experienced so many things, and had never had a moment's rest.

Now, it was rare to be able to sit here and watch a bright moon.

His mood also seemed to have improved a lot.

But in the deepest part of his heart, he couldn't help but wonder.

At this moment, was Blue Star, where he once lived, also celebrating the same Lantern Festival as now?

Just at this moment.

Two people walked over from not far away.

Dongfang Chen brought a Prince.

"Brother Wang, if all goes as expected, we should be able to reach the center of the Secret Realm tomorrow, and then we can seize the spirit source fruit."

"However, there are some things I must make clear in advance. This level of heavenly material and earthly treasure will definitely be guarded by something powerful. As for what specific species it is, I don't know myself."

"His Imperial Father also didn't inform me before we left, so everyone should try to rest early tonight, conserve energy, and then we'll have confidence when we deal with it tomorrow."

When Dongfang Chen said this, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He seemed to want to say more but hesitated.

Wang Yan saw his state and couldn't help but ask.

"The two of us naturally know about this matter, but Your Highness, you seem to have something else to say. There's no one else here, so feel free to speak."

Dongfang Chen sighed deeply upon hearing this.

"Zhan Lang's strength is so high. If he enters the Secret Realm with us tomorrow, we might not be able to snatch the spirit source fruit from him."

"I don't mind, after all, I've already planned to give this divine object to you, but then I don't know if Zhan Lang will compete with you for it."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan and Wang Gou exchanged glances, then their eyes narrowed slightly.

At first glance, this sentence didn't seem to mean anything.

It even seemed to be considering them.

But if one thought about it more deeply, they would find that this sentence seemed to contain a certain degree of instigation.

Could it be that Zhan Lang's previous act of directly giving the venom to Wang Gou caused this Prince to have some special psychological reaction?

He was afraid.

On one hand, he was afraid of Zhan Lang's retaliation.

Or perhaps he was worried that the Wang family would completely join forces with Zhan Lang.

Their faction would be even weaker.

Of course, although the two of them thought this in their hearts, they didn't confirm it.

What's more, they hadn't fallen out yet.

Wang Gou said indifferently,

"Thank you for His Highness the Prince's concern."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen's lips curved slightly.

He didn't say much more.

Instead, Wang Yan was seriously thinking about this matter.

If Zhan Lang really wanted to compete with them for the spirit source fruit, it would indeed be difficult to handle.

But for some reason, from his previous interactions with Zhan Lang,

this person seemed to have undergone a tremendous change.

And in the dark, he seemed to be closer to the two of them.

Not long ago, he first taught them the Law of Space they provided.

Later, he saved them, and not long ago, he gave Wang Gou venom.

One by one, these acts were like the concern of an elder for a Junior.

But he was very sure that before this, they had not had much interaction with Zhan Lang.

So why would such a thing happen?

Every effect has a cause.

There must be some logic he didn't know yet.

One must know that Zhan Lang could display such formidable strength, so he certainly couldn't be a fool.

Since he wasn't a fool, then his actions must follow a certain logic. This logic didn't make sense from a cognitive perspective.

It could only be guessed from his identity.

Could this Zhan Lang have an unknown relationship with the Wang family?

He was somewhat uncertain in his heart.

But in the dark, something told him that he could trust, and even rely on, Zhan Lang.

He was startled by this thought.

He couldn't help but stand up.
