393: Poseidon's Heart Message

Soon, Xiao Fan arrived home.

He wasn't worried that Song Mingguang would see through him.

With hundreds of millions of people in the entire War Zone, and tens of millions of elders, it was uncertain if they would ever meet again after today.

He began to focus on investigating matters concerning the sea gods heart.

Soon, the results came out.

“Legend has it that somewhere within the Tianhe Waterfall, a mysterious cave is hidden. Every hundred years, on August 8th, both the Human Race and other races hear a strange heartbeat. This heartbeat is nothing special to ordinary people, but to water-type Cultivators, including water-type foreign races, it is filled with a sacred aura, making them want to submit and worship.”

“From then on, the legend of the sea gods heart began to spread, meaning that within the Tianhe Waterfall, there is a secret treasure that can transform water-type beings. However, to this day, no one has been able to confirm this.”

Upon seeing this, Xiao Fan shook his head.

This information was useless, just a superficial collection of facts.

What he wanted to know was when the sea gods heart would appear, what conditions were required to obtain this Opportunity, and why Song Mingguang and the others were so certain that the heartbeat in the waterfall was the sea gods heart.

To know these things, searching online was definitely useless, as they were extremely private pieces of information.

He couldn't just directly ask those high-ranking officials.

In the end, he still had to return to his old ways.

Thinking of this, he put on his ancestral black robe, stood on his bedroom window, then turned and vanished into the silent, dark night.

The first stop, without a doubt, was to find Song Mingguang directly.

He wasn't afraid of being discovered, because he possessed the Kong Wu Realm and Space Laws.

One was used to conceal his aura, and the other for high-speed movement.

This combination of abilities was simply unstoppable.

Soon, Xiao Fan found the place where Song Mingguang's team and the others were staying.

With a few blinks, he directly hid in their bathroom, floating in mid-air, leaving no traces whatsoever.

Then, he activated the Kong Wu Realm and began to eavesdrop.

About two hours passed.

Xiao Fan overheard two important pieces of information.

First, this sea gods heart was prepared for Jiang Linyuan, but Lintao would also compete for it, and the final outcome was still unknown.

Second, the operation would begin in three days, led by a Martial God named Wang Dahe. The total number of participants had already exceeded eight hundred, with a minimum Realm of Great Grandmaster Middle Stage. There were three Martial Gods and over ten Martial Sages.

Furthermore, Liu Yuan's current unit would also participate in this operation, though Liu Yuan might not be brought along due to the extremely high danger level.

Xiao Fan silently mused that perhaps not many people knew about the sea gods heart.

Because, if the sea gods heart was a treasure that could allow someone to become the Dominator of the sea.

Then it would undoubtedly be a super strategic treasure; one could even say that whichever side obtained the sea gods heart would hold absolute dominance in future wars in the Eighth War Zone.

The sea gods heart was extremely valuable, like a key capable of starting a war.

However, the intensity of the competition hadn't reached that level, so there must be other hidden factors.

For example, people at the Martial God or Martial Emperor Realm might not be able to obtain the sea gods heart, due to internal Realm Restrictions.

If that were the case, it meant Xiao Fan definitely had an Opportunity.

But whether or not this was the case still needed further investigation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan performed several more blinks, heading directly towards the Tianhe Waterfall.

Investigating on-site should yield more information.

However, just as he approached within ten thousand meters of the Tianhe Waterfall, Xiao Fan abruptly stopped, hiding in the shadows of a nearby forest.

This was a bit absurd.

He clearly sensed that the area ahead was entirely covered in Formations and Restrictions, and all of them were of an exceptionally high level.

Although the Kong Wu Realm was powerful, it hadn't reached the point of being omnipotent. He wasn't absolutely confident in moving freely amidst this level of Martial God-tier contention.

Even a slight discovery would lead to disaster.

This also proved just how important the sea gods heart truly was.

There were still three days until August 8th of this year.

But now, the outer perimeter of the Tianhe Waterfall was already riddled with traps. Both the Human Race and other races had begun to frantically set up their layouts, with Formations capable of instantly annihilating Martial Venerables scattered in every corner outside the Tianhe Waterfall.

The surging, towering waterfall before him, seemingly calm, was in reality, filled with hidden dangers.

Although Xiao Fan couldn't enter, he could wander around the perimeter, and he was confident he wouldn't be discovered.

Below the Tianhe Waterfall were dense, tall trees, forming a lush green forest.

It was silent here now, but countless elites were hidden within.

If an ordinary person walked through this forest, they would surely die inexplicably.

Xiao Fan glanced around.

Eight hundred meters ahead, there was nothing visible to the naked eye, but three Martial Venerables were hidden beneath the yellow earth.

The large tree next to them was a disguised person.

A fallen bush nearby also concealed a warrior poised for action.

Their disguises were almost flawless, but under the detection of the Kong Wu Realm, which was a dimensionality-reducing strike, they had nowhere to hide.

The Kong Wu Realm could hear the sounds of all things, but how far and for how long depended entirely on the strength of one's Mental Energy.

Xiao Fan's Mental Energy strength was astonishingly high; at least at his Realm, no one should be able to match his strength.

Listening to sounds within a five-hundred-meter radius consumed almost no energy. He could keep the Kong Wu Realm active all day long without feeling tired, meaning he couldn't be ambushed.

If he used more Mental Energy to activate the Kong Wu Realm, listening within a thousand-meter radius was effortless.

The maximum distance could reach three thousand meters, but the consumption would increase exponentially, and the duration would be greatly shortened.

But three thousand meters was already quite far. Xiao Fan happened to be able to hear the meeting sounds from a small thatched hut over two thousand meters away.

“Is it confirmed? Only those under twenty years old can enter the Sea God Temple?”

“Confirmed.”

“What's inside? Is it really the legendary sea gods heart?”

“We can't get inside yet; we'll probably have to wait until August 8th. But the outer cave has been confirmed; those over 20 years old cannot enter.”

“That's strange. What kind of Restriction is this? It doesn't restrict Realm or talent, but bone age? Has there ever been such a Restriction in the Galaxy before?”

“General Wang, that Restriction has already been shown to Elder Yang. It can almost be concluded that it's not a Restriction that could exist in the Galaxy, nor is it a method that the Human Race or other races could possess.”

Hearing this, the deep-voiced old general said solemnly, “So, it's highly possible that this Restriction comes from outer space?”

“No need to say more. Report this matter to the Hall of Valor immediately. Matters concerning outer space are not for us to meddle with; there will be a Great Figure to investigate.”

Suddenly, the voices in the meeting room disappeared.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Xiao Fan's strong intuition suddenly began to flash wildly.

His pupils abruptly contracted, and an ominous premonition rose within him!

It was highly possible that he had been discovered!

Without any hesitation, Xiao Fan immediately used several blinks to escape. He didn't stop until he had run tens of thousands of miles away, then began to gasp for breath.
