227: Chapter 227 Lei Wanjun's Instructions
"That is the situation, Senior. Afterward, I plan to return first to find the world heart for you. However, for you, it might just be a matter of the blink of an eye."
After returning, Chen Moxuan briefly explained the abilities of the Otherworld Walker to Lei Wanjun, as well as his decision based on it.
"The flow of time between the two worlds... is actually relatively static?" Lei Wanjun felt a bit puzzled.
Based on his previous experience of being accidentally dragged into another Otherworld, although there were differences in the flow of time between different worlds, compared to his native world, the general direction of time flow was consistent.
Lei Wanjun had never heard of a situation like this, where one could act normally in one world while the time flow in another was nearly static.
Otherwise, he would not have concluded that there was no remedy for his remaining time.
However, seeing Chen Moxuan's determined expression, he decided to choose to believe him.
"Since that is the case, you should all the more accept these things."
"You should also be aware that the value of the world heart is immeasurable. Even if you took all the items in my qiankun bag, you might not succeed in exchanging for it, let alone doing it on your own," Lei Wanjun said, forcing himself to stay alert.
"There is also a waist token inside the qiankun bag. If there is an Opportunity, take it and find the Lei Family, report my name, and they can provide some assistance."
After all, if one were to use the world heart, which is equivalent to the heart of a Secret Realm, to repair the Origin of a Martial Dao Profound Saint's Heart-Phase World, it would inevitably cause great damage to the Secret Realm.
Depending on the situation, it might take thousands of years to recover to its original state.
If it is a small Secret Realm, it might even be destroyed completely.
"As for the owner of the Secret Realm... I have been away from the Great Xia Kingdom for too long, and now I really have no clue."
"Perhaps you can use your connections at Tianshu Academy to find Xuan Saint Lu Minghan."
"He is one of the initiators of Project Starfall. If you tell him the reason for the matter truthfully, he will certainly help."
Lei Wanjun was solitary by nature, and having previously been accidentally dragged into a Secret Realm, he had disappeared for a hundred years.
Now, apart from Saint Lu, only two or three Martial Saints remained on good terms with him.
But none of them controlled a Secret Realm of their own; otherwise, things would be much simpler.
"Lei Family... Lu Minghan..." Chen Moxuan listened carefully to Lei Wanjun's instructions and silently noted down what he said.
"Speaking of Project Starfall... Senior Lei, can I find a way to obtain the world heart from the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm?" Chen Moxuan asked after a moment of thought.
"No," Lei Wanjun immediately retorted.
"The Spirit Gathering Secret Realm is a very important Trial Grounds in our country. In addition to the blessed Spirit Gathering Pool, there are countless Legacies left behind by our predecessors within it."
"Once the world heart is lost, the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm will inevitably suffer immeasurable, severe damage."
"What's more... the owner of the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm has already passed away."
Once a Secret Realm recognizes a master, even if the original owner has died and passed away, it will continue to operate according to the original owner's will before their death.
And this mechanism is accomplished precisely by relying on the world heart.
For a Secret Realm with a master, losing the world heart, as long as the Origin of the world heart has not been depleted too much and it is returned in time, there is still a possibility of it recovering to its original state as time passes.
For a Secret Realm without a master to maintain its operation, it will be completely paralyzed.
At present, the few Secret Realms currently in use by the Great Xia Kingdom are actually products that were taken into public ownership after their original owners passed away.
Just like the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm that Chen Moxuan visited earlier.
These few Secret Realms, after being carefully modified over several generations, play a crucial role in the growth and development of the Human Race's Martial Artists and are very difficult to be used to exchange for a world heart.
Moreover, the original owner has already died, and others have no way to obtain the world heart of the Secret Realm.
After all, the world heart is something that only actively appears when the Secret Realm recognizes a master, establishing a close connection with the owner.
"Then I will accept this, but not as a keepsake for your final arrangements, but as an aid to exchange for the world heart." Upon hearing this, Chen Moxuan finally tucked the qiankun bag handed over by Lei Wanjun into his pocket.
Even if he had one month, wanting to find a masterless Secret Realm within this month and, by chance, obtain the recognition of that Secret Realm was undoubtedly a fantasy.
The way he could obtain the world heart was most likely by exchanging it with others.
But as Lei Wanjun said, relying only on Chen Moxuan, where would he get assets that could be exchanged for a world heart?
Even adding the things in Lei Wanjun's qiankun bag, I'm afraid the value is still not enough.
Privately owned Secret Realms... even if you claim it is to save a Martial Dao Profound Saint of the Human Race, who would be willing to hand over such an incredibly precious thing for no reason?
Let alone Chen Moxuan going to ask for it, even if Lei Wanjun personally showed up, it would be extremely difficult without paying a considerable price.
Controlling a Secret Realm means being able to modify a space as one pleases, planting the Heaven And Earth Treasures one needs at will, possessing a blessed land that belongs only to oneself, and benefiting future generations.
Even at critical moments, one can use the world heart of the Secret Realm to save one's own life.
Even if not used to save a life, using the world heart as a one-time consumable for Cultivate is also of great benefit to the Tongxuan Realm.
Of course, doing this has a very low cost-effectiveness, and generally, no one does this.
Chen Moxuan intentionally exaggerated the movement of putting away the bag, making the sound of the bag rubbing against his clothes extra clear, ensuring that Lei Wanjun could hear it clearly.
Hearing that Chen Moxuan had indeed accepted his qiankun bag, Lei Wanjun slowly opened his mouth again and instructed carefully:
"...The things inside are all Martial Skills that I personally have the right to teach. Because the minimum threshold is the Spirit Ascension Realm, I did not teach them to you before."
"You can learn them when you have the Opportunity later. With your talent, it won't be difficult to master them in a short time."
"Also, after you return to that side, unless it is an extremely urgent situation, you must not easily expose your true strength... There is also a secret technique in the qiankun bag that can teach you to hide your cultivation."
"You should maintain the Tiangang Realm as before... An eighteen-year-old Martial Arts Grandmaster is something the alien races that are hostile to the Human Race will not leave alone."
Chen Moxuan's previous cultivation information had already spread to various Families.
If he deliberately hid too much strength, it would be counterproductive and arouse suspicion.
Such potential, while enough to attract the attention of the alien spies hiding in various Families, was not enough to alarm those old monsters.
With Chen Moxuan's true strength now, even without a guardian accompanying him within the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom, he was enough to protect himself.
But if Chen Moxuan exposed all his strength without reservation, it would be completely different.
If his previous potential was that of a peerless Prodigy who broke the rules to rise to the Proud Sun Grade.
Now, his potential is undoubtedly the greatest in history.
Lei Wanjun knew very well in his heart that the peaceful scene presented by the Human Race at present was just an appearance.
In reality, the Human Race had long been riddled with holes by alien races.
Those alien races thought they had mastered all the situations of the Human Race and felt that the Human Race currently posed no threat to them, so they were busy fighting and suppressing each other.
But once they discovered Chen Moxuan's existence, I'm afraid a few old monsters might spare no cost to come personally and strangle Chen Moxuan in the cradle.
"After you find Lu Minghan, be sure to let him arrange a new guardian for you as soon as possible..."
"And..."
Lei Wanjun's posture at this moment was truly like an old man in his twilight years, urging his worried junior, leaving no detail unattended.
Chen Moxuan stood quietly on the side, patiently and attentively listening to every bit of Lei Wanjun's nagging.
Although the two had not spent much time together, Chen Moxuan could truly feel the heavy regard and care Lei Wanjun had for him.
Ever since Chen Moxuan made the decision to return to rescue, an act that seemed almost foolish in Lei Wanjun's eyes, his feelings for Chen Moxuan had quietly changed.
It was no longer limited to the duty of a guardian to the protected.
Although Lei Wanjun had never had a Personal Disciple, and he and Chen Moxuan had not established a substantial master-Disciple relationship, in Lei Wanjun's eyes, Chen Moxuan was already the Disciple he admired the most.
It was precisely because of this that, in his dying moments, he did not hesitate to hand over all the assets he carried and his lifelong unique skills to Chen Moxuan.
"Senior, I have noted down everything you said. If we drag this on, I am worried that your body will develop complications. Let's save the rest of the words for after I return."
At the right moment, Chen Moxuan interrupted softly,
"For you, it is actually just a matter of the next second."
Chen Moxuan closed his eyes slightly, and the method of performing the Otherworld Walker was clear in his mind.
As his Mental Energy was continuously consumed like a trickling stream, a distorted and changing transparent spot of light quietly appeared on his right palm and slowly grew larger.
