My friend, I am also a person of status.
Hearing Lin Xuan’s words, Chen Wanqiu fell silent for a moment.
She didn't know much about the Underground Palace.
And the relevant information was highly classified.
It was just that when her father told her, he had mentioned the current situation.
Her father once said that normally, one would need to reach Level 150 to learn about the Underground Palace.
However, for Awakened who possessed flying mounts, it was an exception.
At that time, her father had explicitly stated that if Lin Xuan asked about this matter, she could tell him.
However, knowing this matter meant being destined to take on some responsibilities.
“Hoo—” Chen Wanqiu thought for a moment and made a decision.
“Lin Xuan, the information about the Underground Palace is highly classified. If you know about it, you will have to bear some responsibilities.”
“This responsibility might involve some restrictions. Do you still want to know?”
Chen Wanqiu spoke very clearly, giving the choice to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised to hear this but quickly reacted.
In fact, he had already had some guesses about the Underground Palace.
It was very likely related to foreign enemies.
However, he wasn't sure if it was specifically that.
Now, hearing Chen Wanqiu’s words, Lin Xuan confirmed his own guess.
“The Underground Palace should be related to the anomalies or foreign enemies of our Blue Star, right?”
“How did you…” Chen Wanqiu’s eyes widened, then she calmly said, “Lin Xuan, you are very smart.”
“The Underground Palace is indeed related to these, but also not.”
“It is, and it isn't?” Lin Xuan spread his hands; he really didn't like people who played coy.
“Just tell me quickly. If it gets any later, you leaving my tent will easily make others misunderstand.”
“You~” Chen Wanqiu naturally knew what Lin Xuan was hinting at, and her face flushed slightly.
Fortunately, her psychological resilience had always been good, and she adjusted within two or three breaths, then began to explain.
“The Underground Palace was previously interpreted as the tomb of emperors and nobles. Now, it mostly refers to a tower or passage with a special space.”
“I don’t know if you’ve learned about cultural knowledge before the Great Cataclysm, but among the tomb-raiding themes, there was mention of the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace…”
Chen Wanqiu explained in great detail, telling Lin Xuan almost everything she knew.
Lin Xuan grew more and more shocked as he listened.
It turned out that the Underground Palace was an underground tower with nine levels of space.
And this tower was a passage connecting Blue Star to a super-largeDifferent Space!
Within this Underground Palace, as long as one controlled the ownership of more than half of the levels, one could freely open this passage, achieving intercommunication between the two worlds.
“Are there powerful demonic creatures on the other side of the passage?” Lin Xuan thought for a moment and asked.
“Not demonic creatures. It is also a civilization with high-level intelligence.”
“My father said that the development of that civilization is similar to that of humans.”
“They can also kill demonic creatures to gain experience and level up.”
“But they are very bloodthirsty and warlike, extremely dangerous.”
“If you encounter them, and your numbers are not three times theirs, only escaping can save your life.”
As Chen Wanqiu finished explaining, Lin Xuan also calmed down.
He had indeed guessed correctly.
Blue Star truly had a powerful enemy, and this enemy was an entire civilization.
However, since the other party was a civilization with high-level intelligence, couldn't they communicate?
“I don’t know much either. I only know that every year, various countries will conscript a group of Level 150 and above Awakened to go to the Underground Palace to prevent any Underground Palace from being controlled by the other side for more than four levels of space.”
“However, my father said that the enemy’s forces have grown considerably in recent years, greatly increasing the pressure on various countries.”
“The countries of Blue Star are preparing to lower the conscription level and appropriately release some information about the Underground Palace.”
“And this anomaly at Divine Grace Cemetery is suspected to be related to the Underground Palace.”
“So, before I came, my father told me the news in advance.”
“Then, according to what you just said, the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace tower pattern that Liu Da Erduo saw is very likely a brand new Underground Palace?” Lin Xuan asked.
Chen Wanqiu nodded.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go quickly.”
Lin Xuan also realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment.
If the military was previously guessing, then Liu Da Erduo's sighting confirmed that guess.
It was a pity that Liu Da Erduo was only Level 130.
He couldn't access the core information of the Underground Palace.
Otherwise, the military would have known this information long ago and launched a strong advance into Divine Grace Cemetery.
One must know that currently, only First-Tier Awakened can enter Divine Grace Cemetery.
If there really was a new Underground Palace, it could easily be controlled by enemy forces.
After all, Blue Star had more Second-Tier Awakened.
Leaving the tent, Lin Xuan and Chen Wanqiu hurried towards the military encampment without stopping.
The military camp was not far from them.
The two arrived at the military camp after walking for ten minutes.
However, as soon as they arrived, they faced a dilemma.
They couldn't get in!
“Stop, this is a military camp. Unauthorized personnel are forbidden.”
The guards at the gate directly stopped the two of them.
Chen Wanqiu said, “I am Chen Wanqiu of the Chen family from Jianghai. I have important matters to report.”
“The Chen family?”
“What Chen family? I don’t care whose family you are.”
“Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave.”
“Currently, the leaders are deploying the combat plan to enter Divine Grace Cemetery. Miscellaneous personnel are forbidden.”
The guard held his long spear, meticulous.
Clearly, the two in front of them were categorized as miscellaneous personnel.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised.
The Chen family’s influence in Jianghai should not be small.
He didn't expect the army to show no respect at all.
Thinking carefully, Lin Xuan felt relieved again.
This was not before the Great Cataclysm.
After the rise of extraordinary powers, the army had undergone multiple reforms and had long formed a new system.
This kind of army, composed of extraordinary Awakened, was almost entirely a war machine that obeyed military orders, and its management was extremely strict.
It was normal for them not to be able to enter.
However, if they couldn't get in, how could they convey the message?
The information about the Underground Palace was too important to tell the guards.
If they didn’t tell, they couldn’t get in.
Just then, a figure jogged over from inside the camp.
Lin Xuan’s gaze swept over that person, and just as he was about to look away, he suddenly looked again.
He felt a little familiar.
Thinking carefully, wasn't this his friend, Zhang Fan?
After Lin Xuan clearly saw the figure, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, “Zhang Fan!”
As his voice fell, the figure running in the military camp instantly stopped.
Immediately after, he looked towards the camp entrance twice and then quickly ran over.
“Haha, Xiao Xuan, why are you here?”
That’s right. The person who came was Lin Xuan’s high school best friend, Zhang Fan.
After awakening the rare Awakened class, Flowing Wind Knight, he left Jiangcheng.
Zhang Fan’s family background was said to be related to the military.
The two had talked on the phone after the college entrance examination.
Lin Xuan learned that Zhang Fan had entered a military academy in Hang City.
He didn't expect to meet him here today.
“Why are you here, kid? Didn’t you say you were in Hang City?” Lin Xuan asked.
“Isn’t Jianghai undergoing changes? The leader said to bring us here for some experience.”
“Xiao Xuan, you still haven’t said, why are you here at the camp?”
Meeting an old friend, Lin Xuan greeted his friend, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then asked, “Can I go in?”
“Go in?” Zhang Fan was stunned.
He glanced at the two guards beside him.
The two guards quickly said, “Captain Zhang, they said they want to see the leaders and that they have important matters to report.”
“Just tell me what it is. The two guard brothers are also just following the rules.”
Zhang Fan nodded; he understood the rules within the army very well.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan didn't waste words and directly said, “It’s about the information regarding Divine Grace Cemetery.”
“Divine Grace Cemetery information?” Zhang Fan’s expression was a little puzzled. “About what aspect?”
“The specific aspect is inconvenient to say, but it’s very crucial, the kind with a great impact.”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan’s expression also changed.
He and Lin Xuan had been together for two and a half years, and they were quite familiar with each other.
In his eyes, Lin Xuan was a very diligent and intelligent person.
Now that he came to the camp saying he had important information, it was probably not false intelligence.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan nodded.
“You two wait here. I’ll go in and report.” After speaking, he turned and ran to the large tent in the middle and ducked inside.
Lin Xuan and Chen Wanqiu waited outside.
Soon, Zhang Fan ran back and led the two into the tent.
Entering the tent, what met their eyes was a large long table with a sand table on it. There were some projections on the sand table, seemingly a map of Divine Grace Cemetery.
Around the table on both sides of the sand table, more than a dozen people, men and women, were seated, discussing something.
And in the center of the table opposite the entrance, a middle-aged man was leaning his hands on the table, looking at them.
He had a square face, sharp eyebrows, and a righteous aura. Looking at his insignia, he was at least a general.
However, upon seeing Lin Xuan and the other person’s young appearance, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he casually asked, “Are you the ones who said you have important information?”
Lin Xuan nodded, and just as he was about to speak, his arm was suddenly nudged.
Chen Wanqiu pulled his arm and glanced at the people around the table.
Lin Xuan reacted.
There were too many people here, and half of them were not soldiers but representatives of extraordinary forces who had been conscripted.
They were here to discuss entering Divine Grace Cemetery.
Although according to Chen Wanqiu, the country intended to release information about the Underground Palace recently, it was still in a lockdown phase.
If the country didn't announce it, he should try to spread it as little as possible.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan lowered his voice and said, “My information is quite important. Can we…”
He didn’t finish the rest of his sentence, but the meaning was very clear.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly.
He had seen many young people.
He had seen even more people like Lin Xuan, who were eager to take credit with a bit of trivial information.
But for this kid to come in at such a critical moment and not reveal the key information, wasn't it a waste of time?
If it weren't for Old Zhang’s son’s sake, he would never have let a greenhorn like Lin Xuan in.
At this moment, Lin Xuan saw the person in charge hesitate and sensed something was amiss.
“We can’t waste any more time.”
Lin Xuan suddenly thought that he also had a special identity.
“General, I wonder if you recognize this.”
Lin Xuan flipped his right hand and held up a five-star badge burning with flames.
Seeing this, the leading man’s expression changed.
He looked at the people around him, pondered for a moment, and said, “Follow me.”
