The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3367 - 3362: The Whereabouts of Wan Qiuying_1

Observing Wan Tianyu's deferential posture, Yang Chen avoided any arrogance. Instead, a heavy sense of seriousness and puzzlement settled upon him.

Regardless of the circumstances, Wan Tianyu remained a Heavenly Fate realm elder, with no reason for such deference toward him.

Yang Chen preferred straightforwardness, so he inquired directly, "Elder Wan, what brings you here today?"

"It's regarding my daughter, Qiu Ying," Wan Tianyu replied.

This matched Yang Chen's expectations precisely. He was aware of Wan Tianyu's profound worry for his daughter, and the visit likely tied directly to her situation.

Noting Wan Tianyu's grave expression, Yang Chen stated, "Elder Wan, I regret Wan Qiuying's predicament. I've scoured various interfaces, yet found no leads. As for her location, I truly can't uncover it quickly. Still, I won't abandon the search. Should any progress arise, I'll notify you immediately."

Hearing this, Wan Tianyu felt deep contentment within.

After all, tales of Yang Chen's accomplishments had reached his ears.

To the present Yang Chen, hundreds of thousands of extreme universe essences meant nothing. His willingness to act for his daughter proved his reliability.

Wan Tianyu let out a profound sigh, "Yang Chen, your efforts fill me with gratitude. I bring some positive tidings: I've located Qiu Ying's position."

"Truly? That's wonderful!" Yang Chen exclaimed in delight, "Where is she?"

A faint smile crossed Wan Tianyu's face, but at Yang Chen's question about Wan Qiu Ying's whereabouts, his expression shifted to one of gravity and solemnity.

After a lengthy silence, Wan Tianyu sighed, "As the Saintess of our Spirit Fire Clan, Qiu Ying holds the Spirit Fire Saint Body, a rarity unseen in our clan. Her unique constitution has drawn the Netherworld's attention precisely because of this."

"The Netherworld seeks Miss Qiu Ying's Spirit Fire Saint Body? Does it offer any particular benefits to the Netherworld?" Yang Chen queried in shock.

Wan Tianyu nodded firmly, "Brother Yang Chen, are you aware of the Forbidden Spirit Palace's greatest treasures?"

"What are they?" Yang Chen responded.

"First comes the origin essence, known to all. Yet, despite its value, it pales in comparison. The true gems are the world treasures housed within the Forbidden Spirit Palace!" Wan Tianyu declared.

"World treasures?" Yang Chen murmured, taken aback.

"Understand that the Forbidden Spirit Palace forms the world of the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor. Naturally, it contains magical treasures. Some have undergone refinement, others remain untouched. Regardless, they spark fierce rivalry among the mighty, driving even Heavenly Extreme Realm experts to frenzy. Do you grasp why?" Wan Tianyu probed further.

Yang Chen shook his head, "This junior remains ignorant."

Wan Tianyu chuckled softly, "This is common knowledge, yet not to you. Allow me to explain. The Forbidden Spirit Ancestor stands among the rare survivors from the origin land. Within this Dao Palace, innate artifacts from that land may lurk. Reforged into world treasures, they ignite wild pursuit across the Universe Starry Sky, outshining all else. Crucially, such innate items can't be extracted from the origin land. With few returnees, you now see why the Forbidden Spirit Palace captivates countless powerhouses." Wan Tianyu elaborated.

Yang Chen reflected inwardly, his prior knowledge in this area limited. Wan Tianyu's words illuminated his own oversights.

It stood to reason.

Since he showed no interest in entering the Forbidden Spirit Palace as others perceived, such secrets stayed hidden from him.

"Thus, the restriction barring mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm experts from the Forbidden Spirit Palace stems from these treasures," Yang Chen remarked.

"Exactly. Permitting mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses inside would unleash utter chaos, potentially sparking clan wars. No clan desires that outcome, hence the rule limiting entry to early-stage Heavenly Fate Realm and weaker cultivators. They will vie for the world treasures, yet without the mid-stage experts' desperate madness." Wan Tianyu affirmed, stroking his beard.

Yang Chen comprehended fully.

For mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators, who already forged their own worlds, a potent world treasure could serve as a devastating weapon. Their obsession would know no bounds, pushing them to extremes.

"Which world treasure connects to Miss Qiu Ying?" Yang Chen inquired.

"It's named Hellfire Mountain, an unrestrained treasure of the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor. It ranks among the prime prizes contested by the clans. During the previous incursion, clan powerhouses lacked preparation and couldn't budge it despite full efforts. Ultimately, they required an element to harmonize with Hellfire Mountain," Wan Tianyu explained.

"Harmonize?" Yang Chen questioned, perplexed.

Wan Tianyu sighed deeply, "Countless materials can forge world treasures in this realm. But the rarer they are, the harder to integrate into one's world. Specific prerequisites are essential, as with Hellfire Mountain. Without fitting catalysts, dislodging it proves challenging."

Yang Chen rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "So, Miss Qiu Ying serves as the catalyst for Hellfire Mountain?"

"Current indications point that way. The Netherworld evidently investigated beforehand, setting sights on our Spirit Fire Clan for this purpose. They aim to employ my daughter to activate Hellfire Mountain. Therefore, rescuing Qiu Ying demands targeting Hellfire Mountain." With that, Wan Tianyu fixed his gaze on Yang Chen.

Yang Chen hesitated briefly, then offered a wry smile, divining Wan Tianyu's purpose.

As anticipated, Wan Tianyu continued gravely, "Yang Chen, I've advanced to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Fate realm and am barred from the Forbidden Spirit Palace. My clan's early-stage Heavenly Fate Realm experts are all committed to other duties, unwilling to divert forces for just the Saintess of the Spirit Fire Clan. Thus, I turn to you..."
