617: palace

Looking at this grand and magnificent palace, he couldn't help but murmur.

"Is this the place where the Immortal Scroll Father Emperor spoke of is located? As expected, the Aura of its location is majestic."

A hint of obsession appeared in his eyes.

Before entering, Dongfang Yueming had told him that if he could bring out this Immortal Scroll, he would be made the Crown Prince.

Since entering the Secret Realm, he had been working hard for this matter.

Now, he had entered the center of the Secret Realm one step ahead and found this palace.

Everything was within reach; to say he wasn't excited would be a lie.

But if Dongfang Chen were to know about this, his heart would surely be greatly shaken.

At first, he had thought that the Father Emperor had only summoned him and informed him of this matter, asking him to search for this Immortal Scroll.

However, he didn't expect that Dongfang Yueming had not only told him, but all the Princes who entered the Secret Realm this time.

Even the words spoken were identical, and the ultimate goal was simply to obtain the greatest Opportunity.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

The man turned around and saw a white-haired old man, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"What is it?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, the Fifth Prince and the others have already entered the center of the Secret Realm."

"Is that all?" There wasn't much change in Dongfang Ruo's expression.

The Fifth Prince was not enough to cause much emotional fluctuation in him.

But just then, the white-haired old man spoke again.

"There's another matter that's quite serious."

Dongfang Ruo immediately looked up, his eyes fixed on him.

"What is it?"

"Among those exploring the Secret Realm this time, an anomaly has appeared. His strength is extraordinarily astonishing. He slayed a Giant Snake along the way, and later easily defeated a Giant Fish..."

Dongfang Ruo was immediately astonished.

He knew that on his way here, he had also encountered these two terrifying creatures.

If he hadn't used special means to bypass them, he might not have been able to reach here safely.

Due to time constraints, he had once led his subordinates to fight these two enormous monsters.

But the moment they engaged, he knew it was absolutely impossible to win.

Yet now, not long after, someone was telling him that those two monsters had been defeated.

And it was by someone who entered the Secret Realm in the same batch as them.

How was this possible?

Those two monsters had the strength of the Mid-stage True Immortal Realm.

Especially with their massive size and the home field advantage that further enhanced their strength, human wave tactics were useless, and even individual combat required strength far superior to theirs.

But now, they had been defeated by the same person.

Who could it be?

Among those who entered the Secret Realm this time, who could defeat them?

Could it be the Eldest Brother?

A hint of doubt flashed in Dongfang Ruo's eyes.

He always felt that things couldn't be that way.

He had fought with the Eldest Brother before.

Although the other party was powerful and had been born many years before him, the resources he controlled were not inferior to his, perhaps even superior.

But the other party's Cultivation talent was actually ordinary.

Even now, his strength was merely on par with his own.

In fact, if it came down to a life-or-death struggle, he might even be inferior.

It shouldn't be him.

He knew that he himself could only be abused when facing those two enormous monsters.

But besides the Eldest Brother, he really couldn't think of anyone else with such strength.

After a moment of thought, Dongfang Ruo looked at the white-haired old man.

"Who is it?"

"Zhan Lang!"

"What?"

Dongfang Ruo was surprised and couldn't help but repeat himself.

"You mean that Zhan Lang?"

"Yes, it's him."

Dongfang Ruo's eyes widened instantly.

He was completely incredulous.

Of course, he remembered this person.

In fact, he had a rather deep impression.

Because of this person, they had waited outside for a considerable amount of time before.

A lot of time had been wasted.

Naturally, he couldn't forget the other party.

But he didn't expect to hear news of the other party again so soon.

And the news sounded so unbelievable.

He had actually defeated those two monsters by himself.

What Realm of strength was that?

Mid to Late Stage True Immortal Realm?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Do you know what this means?"

Dongfang Ruo couldn't help but say.

But as his words fell, the white-haired old man couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

"Your Highness, the truth is indeed so."

"That Zhan Lang of the Zhan Tian Sect displayed extremely terrifying strength, unlike his performance on the arena before."

"I have reason to suspect that he has been hiding his true strength all along, but I didn't expect him to hide it so deeply."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ruo couldn't help but gasp.

But he still found it hard to believe.

"You mean it was really him who did it?"

The white-haired old man nodded.

Dongfang Ruo's entire face turned grim.

He had made thorough preparations for this matter.

He had even been certain of its success.

He had arrived at the center of the Secret Realm before anyone else.

Now he had found the palace here.

While everyone else had just arrived at the center of the Secret Realm.

His subordinates were all incredibly powerful.

It could be said that he had every advantage.

However, he didn't expect to encounter Zhan Lang at such a time.

Such a dark horse, whom even those two giant creatures couldn't affect.

If he were to face him, it would likely be a sure defeat.

What should be done in the current situation?

If the other party also found this place, it would be almost impossible for him to get that scroll.

He would need battle power stronger than the other party's.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ruo's expression couldn't help but darken.

He immediately spoke coldly.

"Find the heavenly spirit fruit. Whoever finds it, consume it immediately to quickly increase your battle power."

As soon as these words were spoken, the white-haired old man was stunned.

Directly consume the heavenly spirit fruit!?

Whoever finds it uses it?

Isn't that a bit too fantastical?

This Opportunity was not small.

Whoever found it could immediately become a Mid-stage True Immortal Realm expert.

And among their subordinates, although they had followed the Second Prince for many years, there were not many with potential worth cultivating.

If the heavenly spirit fruit was really found and consumed by them, wouldn't that be like feeding human food to pigs?

Wasn't this a bit wasteful?

Before he could ask, Dongfang Ruo spoke again.

"I know what you want to say, but our time is running out. If Fifth Brother really finds this place, especially with Zhan Lang also here..."

"Then I'm afraid what I want to do will be ruined by others. In comparison, the heavenly spirit fruit seems insignificant. Do you understand what I mean?"
