Chapter 3056: Chapter 3076: If You’re Going to Die, You Might as Well Be an Informed Ghost!

"Things were mostly fine, just paying a visit to one of the Human Clan’s Ancestral Masters on behalf of a Senior, as they had some past connections..."

Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders. "However, the host was not in the mood, so the meeting ended on a sour note."

The Palace lord asked softly, "Lv Shuyi, right... She has disappeared, do you know about it?"

Has the news spread this fast, even the Palace lord knows?

Lin Chen was quite surprised, which made his expression appear very naturally reasonable. "Where did she go?"

The Palace lord looked at Lin Chen. "Does it have nothing to do with you?"

Lin Chen spread his hands. "Palace lord, why would you think that? I visited the Senior in the presence of everyone, and afterward, I left Si Xian City. How could her disappearance be related to me?"

After a pause, Lin Chen added in explanation, "The former husband of Senior Lu and a Senior I know are old acquaintances. That Senior told me about it, which is why I made this journey to visit it."

"They were all warriors sent from the Immortal Realm to the Demon World to gather intelligence initially, they are my Seniors, whom I deeply respect... I had not been gone from Si Xian City for long, how could she have just disappeared? Did she encounter some danger?"

The Palace lord was silent for a few seconds, seemingly discerning the truth in Lin Chen’s words. "She is just missing, her Longevity Lamp has not been extinguished yet."

Lin Chen sighed in relief. "She is so powerful, her status so high, who could deal with her quietly? Maybe she went somewhere to handle some personal affair, and hid her presence, who knows."

"It’s fine if it has nothing to do with you."

The Palace lord said, pausing before adding, "Even if it does, it’s not a problem."

Is this still a test?

Lin Chen understood that given the Palace lord’s status, saying this about someone like Lv Shuyi, an Ancestral Master of the Human Clan, actually meant very little to the entirety of the Great Wilderness Palace. Otherwise, would Mei Mingzhi be promoted to the Core whilst she just retired at home, living a lavish life?

For the Palace lord, such people, if they died, they died. Maybe even a few less would reduce some trouble.

Of course, this does not lack probing; if I had hastily agreed to it not being a problem, wouldn’t that have exposed me?

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Palace lord, this really has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Lin Chen say this, the Palace lord did not waste more words on this matter, and simply stated, "You have returned this time, do you need to rest for a while?"

Lin Chen replied, "If the Palace lord commands, I do not need to rest."

The Palace lord nodded. "Actually, this task does not necessarily need you to handle it, but considering all options, you are the most suitable. Although you are from the Human Clan, your stance is different from theirs."

Lin Chen was well aware that this "they" referred to the Great Wilderness Clan, and asked in confusion, "Does this need to be done by someone from the Human Clan?"

"Yes."

The Palace lord confirmed in response, "That place, those of the Demon Race cannot enter."

Lin Chen widened his eyes in disbelief, "In the Demon World’s territory, there’s a place the Demon Race can’t enter, but the Human Clan can?"

The Palace lord explained, "For the safety of that place, a Bloodline Barrier was set up. Only a few demons related by blood can enter; other demons are not allowed. Anyone who tries to force their way through will be immediately killed by the prohibition, their body and soul completely destroyed."

Lin Chen blinked and pointed to his nose, "What about me?"

The Palace lord calmly explained, "This Forbidden Land was formed a very long time ago, so long ago that there were no humans in the Demon World at that time. Therefore, the Bloodline Barrier of this Forbidden Land resists demons but does not repel humans."

"Of course, you can’t just walk in directly. I will give you a Magical Treasure. When you use this treasure, you will be able to cross the prohibition that demons cannot, and enter."

"What you need to do is to enter that Forbidden Land and retrieve an item from there—that is what I want you to do."

Lin Chen confirmed, "With the Magical Treasure, I can cross the prohibition without being obliterated?"

The Palace lord affirmed, "Yes, I’m certain."

Lin Chen asked, "Where exactly is this Forbidden Land, and what item do I need to retrieve?"

The Palace lord replied, "The Forbidden Land is not far from the Demon God Temple; it’s called the Demon Saint Valley. In the center of the Demon Saint Valley, there’s a very ancient Array Formation. At the center of the Array Formation, there’s a sphere emitting a white radiance containing infinite energy. That sphere is what I want."

Lin Chen gasped, "Palace lord, deemed as a Forbidden Land and located near the Demon God Temple, this place must be very important to the Demon God Temple, and to the Demon Emperor as well. Although I’m not sure what that sphere is, I can roughly guess its importance. You’re asking me to make a move right under the Demon Emperor’s nose—are you not overestimating me?"

The Palace lord was silent for a few seconds, then finally spoke, "All along your journey, you have created miracles. I’m hoping you can bring me a surprise once more. Additionally, how you do it is up to you. I won’t insist on guaranteed success, but I want you to try your best. This matter is very important for the Great Wilderness Palace."

"Although the Great Wilderness Palace has not teamed up with the Human Clan, if we become stronger, it will also benefit your Immortal Realm indirectly. You’re doing this for the Immortal Realm as well."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, to try his best—that he could manage!

Although it wasn’t made very clear, he had a feeling this task was fraught with mortal peril.

First, he’d scout out the situation. If it’s really dangerous, he could send an avatar to take the risk while his true self watches safely from a distance—that should be enough to satisfy the Palace lord.

After all, if I send people in and they all die, you can’t possibly force me to go in and court death, right?

"I can go, I can give it a solid try under safe conditions, but Palace lord, you have got to tell me—what exactly is this sphere?"

The Palace lord fell silent, seemingly hesitating whether to inform Lin Chen.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Palace lord, such a dangerous task—there’s a chance I might not survive. You should at least let me die understanding why, rather than confuse and wronged, not knowing why, right?"

"Enlightenment Path."

The Palace lord said, "Initially, the Demon Emperor helped his disciple, Cheng Tuo, attain sainthood by setting up a formidable Array Formation, injecting his comprehension of the Saint’s Path into a Magic Ball, and using the Array Formation to guide Cheng Tuo’s Ascension to sainthood."

"An accident happened during the Ascension process, Cheng Tuo became possessed by demons, nearly dying. Fortunately, the Demon Emperor, with his Heavenly Ability, managed to reverse the situation forcefully. In the end, Cheng Tuo barely stepped into the Saint Realm, but his strength and realm were far less than a regular saint—a crippled saint."

"Because Cheng Tuo didn’t succeed completely and there was an accident midway, the Magic Ball, still containing the Demon Emperor’s comprehension of the Saint’s Path, wasn’t completely depleted by Cheng Tuo."

"Once the Array Formation was set up, taking it apart would render it useless. Hence, both the Array Formation and the sphere were preserved. This place was designated a Forbidden Land, reserved for lower beings who might potentially ascend to sainthood..."
