Chapter 154: Chapter 154: I Seem to Have Met the Person You’re Looking For!

At this moment, the Sky Abyss was not only a grand gathering for Martial Artists but also a place for Qi Cultivators to undergo trials.

However, while Martial Artists struggled with every step, Cultivators had it relatively easy.

The biggest difference was not in strength but rather that Cultivators themselves could sense the changes in the spiritual power of heaven and earth, thereby "seeing" the situation before them clearly.

Conversely, Martial Artists had no choice but to light torches to illuminate the path ahead.

In ordinary forests, torches could ward off beasts.

But in the Sky Abyss, it would undoubtedly make them easier targets for monstrous beasts.

Therefore, for some man-eating monstrous beasts, it was also a grand feast.

Some beasts, that would almost never appear on the periphery, would intentionally or unintentionally choose to "hunt" during this time.

Their prey was naturally these Martial Artists!

"Senior Lu, I think we’re almost there!"

Lu Chen and his companion were not too unlucky, they hadn’t encountered any monstrous beasts all the way as they ventured deeper.

This was also thanks to Lu Chen’s pupils, which could detect some traces on the ground in advance, thereby determining whether monstrous beasts inhabited the area.

Even if monstrous beasts possessed some intelligence, they were ultimately still beasts, with behavioral habits similar to wild animals.

Having undergone tribulations in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, Lu Chen naturally possessed wilderness survival skills.

Whenever he might enter the territory of some powerful monstrous beasts, Lu Chen could choose to bypass it.

However, every so often, Chen Tanzhi would carefully confirm the terrain on the side, and Lu Chen could even faintly make out some markings.

"It seems that the Martial Artists of your Zhou Country are not simple either," Lu Chen said lightly.

"You’re joking, Senior Lu," Chen Tanzhi chuckled awkwardly, "Compared to a person of your caliber, we Martial Artists from Zhou Country are not worth mentioning at all. We just got lucky. We didn’t want to associate with the Qin Country Martial Artists, which is why we discovered that place!"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrow and asked, "Then why did you know that the secret realm would be related to the Night Spirit Pearl?"

"This..."

Chen Tanzhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, Senior Lu, our Zhou Country also has the Polar Treasure Meeting, but their influence is not as strong as it is in Qin Country. So we can intercept some messages from the people of the Polar Treasure Meeting."

"So the Night Spirit Pearl is the key to that forbidden land, and that’s merely your conjecture?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly; he had thought it was a certainty, but it turned out not to be the case.

"Please do not blame me, Senior," Chen Tanzhi shuddered, obviously sensing Lu Chen’s displeasure and hurriedly continued, "At the entrance of that forbidden land, there is a hole that exactly fits the size of the Night Spirit Pearl! In fact, over the years, the Martial Artists of our Zhou Country have been rather united, sharing information with each other. The Polar Treasure Meeting doesn’t know the specific use of the Night Spirit Pearl, but we have carefully inquired about the details of the Night Spirit Pearl, which indeed come from within the Sky Abyss!"

"Oh?"

Lu Chen’s eyebrow quirked up as he said, "Continue."

"The Polar Treasure Meeting collects the treasures of the world, but their reach is not extensive. And according to our speculation, the purpose of their actions is actually for their leader to gain entry into the Immortal Sect!"

"What you mean is," Lu Chen said, "the leader intends to use a variety of treasures as a calling card to knock on the door of the Immortal Sect?"

He couldn’t help but recall how Sun Ming’s family had made a weapon for him, paying the cost with several nails and scales from a Dragon Scale Beast.

"We speculate that this is the case," Chen Tanzhi said, "However, we don’t pay much attention to their affairs. After all, the Polar Treasure Meeting is far away in Qin Country, and the part of it in Zhou Country doesn’t impact us. As for the information about the Night Spirit Pearl, they don’t know much either, just considering it to be a Luminous Pearl that glows!"

If it weren’t for hearing what Chen Tanzhi said today, Lu Chen would also think it was just a Luminous Pearl!

It was then that a familiar voice suddenly came from behind!

Lu Chen looked up, and indeed, it was Little Black returning!

In Little Black’s mouth, it bulged out, clearly containing the Night Spirit Pearl!

Lu Chen quickly went up to meet him, and Little Black spat out the pearl at once. Before Lu Chen could praise him, Little Black said, "Master, I think I have encountered the person you’ve been looking for!"
