Chapter 555: Chapter 555: The Emergence of a Mysterious Force Chapter 555: Chapter 555: The Emergence of a Mysterious Force “Not necessarily.”

The response from the Grand Elder of the Divine King Divine Palace left Leng Hun, who was in a rage, stunned and his expression turned rigid.

“Not necessarily?” Leng Hun frowned slightly as he looked at the Grand Elder. “Grand Elder, are you hiding something from me?”

The words “not necessarily” made it not difficult for one to conjecture that there might be a power even more fearsome than the Divine King Divine Palace on this Mainland!

The older man glanced at Leng Hun’s eager eyes and after a brief silence, spoke, “Many things you should not know; but since you’ve asked, I shall tell you. It is time you knew.”

“Please speak, Grand Elder.” Leng Hun’s face turned solemn, his anger subsiding.

The Grand Elder said gravely, “On this Mainland, what the world knows is merely the surface.”

“The surface of the Mainland? I wonder what the Grand Elder is implying?” asked Leng Hun in confusion.

“On the surface of the Mainland, our Divine King Divine Palace is indeed the most powerful force. However, what people do not know is that there are forces more powerful than the Divine King Divine Palace, which rarely take action on the Mainland, and even when they do appear, they are incredibly mysterious,” the Grand Elder said slowly.

“Mysterious forces? More powerful than the Divine King Divine Palace?” Leng Hun said, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Hearing this, Leng Hun couldn’t help but glance at the Second Elder, seemingly understanding why the Second Elder chose to withdraw, rather than to fight, at the time.

Sensing Leng Hun’s gaze, the Second Elder said gravely, “If the Divine King Divine Palace truly was the strongest existence, why would the Hall Master be so desperate to improve his cultivation? Why would the Divine King Divine Palace be so eager to cultivate powerhouses?”

“Ao Yuan and that girl, could they be from the mysterious forces?” Leng Hun speculated.

The Second Elder nodded, “It’s very likely!”

The Second Elder’s words “very likely” implied that there was more than one mysterious power.

The Grand Elder continued, “Young Hall Master, thirteen years ago, the injury the Hall Master sustained wasn’t due to cultivation backlash, but from being wounded by a mysterious powerhouse. Back then, there was a battle over the Power of Nothingness, and the Hall Master fought against the mysterious being and ultimately was defeated. For thirteen years, the Hall Master’s injuries never fully healed.”

“What? Wounded by a mysterious powerhouse?” Leng Hun was tremendously shocked, hardly believing there was someone in this world capable of injuring his father!

“Indeed, it is also because of that battle that the Hall Master’s cultivation hasn’t improved all these years. However, fortunately, with my Elixir, we’ve managed to heal ninety percent of the Hall Master’s injuries,” said the Grand Elder.

“So Father and you Elders already knew that there are more powerful forces on the Mainland! No wonder Father has been asking me to seek mysterious powers all these years,” Leng Hun said with a frown, clenching his fist tightly.

After a moment of silence, Leng Hun asked again, “What mysterious forces does the Grand Elder know of?”

“The Elf Clan, Yin and Yang Families, Giant Clan; I am only aware of these three mysterious forces for now. Anything else remains to be discovered. These three forces are extremely formidable, and among them, the Yin and Yang Families are the strongest. Their existence is unknown to the world,” the Grand Elder said gravely, a hint of wariness flashing through his old eyes.

“So many mysterious forces?” Leng Hun blanched, initially thinking there was only one, only to learn there were already three known, and still others unknown to the Divine King Divine Palace.

The Grand Elder nodded gravely, “The unknown mysterious forces are even more powerful than the Yin and Yang Families; they are far beyond what our Divine King Divine Palace can confront.”

The Grand Elder’s words had already surpassed Leng Hun’s understanding of the Mainland.

“Young Hall Master, you are the future of the Divine King Divine Palace. The Hall Master has placed all his hopes on you; do not disappoint him,” the Grand Elder added.

“I will not let Father and the Elders down! I must reclaim the power of divine punishment!” Leng Hun clenched his teeth, his eyes twinkling with cold determination.

The Grand Elder said gravely, “Send someone to secretly investigate; do not alert the enemy.”

…

“The Imperial Extreme Sect has not yet found the exact location of the treasure. It seems that I have to absorb the power of divine punishment first. However, the power of divine punishment is tremendously violent. Direct absorption, even with the protection of the power to end the world, would likely be more than my current body can withstand. I need to find some auxiliary materials.” On his way back to the Dragon God Palace, Feng Wuchen sensed that the treasure map was still in motion, so he decided to absorb the power of divine punishment to increase his cultivation first.

Now that I’ve provoked the Hall Master of the Divine King Divine Palace, Leng Hun might send someone at any time, so I need to enhance my cultivation as soon as possible.

By absorbing the power of divine punishment, the power to end the world will undoubtedly become even stronger. At that point, my cultivation level will soar, and breaking through to the third layer of the Heavenly Human Realm will not be a problem, I could even break through to the fourth layer!

Moreover, this treasure hunt has yielded many heavenly treasures and earthly riches, so a breakthrough in cultivation is not difficult to achieve.

After traveling for several days, Feng Wuchen and his party have returned to the realm of the stars.

The encounters of these past few days have left them all physically and mentally exhausted.

At the moment, Feng Wuchen and his group are resting in an inn in Fengming City.

Though they were tired, the enormous gains kept smiles of excitement on their faces as they ate and drank lavishly, happily chatting away.

“Big brother Feng, has there been any progress with the Imperial Extreme Sect?” Liu Qingyang asked as he ate, seemingly eager to go in search of other treasures.

Feng Wuchen shook his head. “Not yet.”

“Hall Master, something seems off,” Bei Dou Yan suddenly said while eating, his gaze fixed on the cultivators continuously entering the inn.

Feng Wuchen and the others turned to look and saw dozens of powerful individuals entering the inn one after another, their presence overwhelming, frightening away many of the other patrons.

The cultivators were all strong, with cultivation levels above the Tianyuan Realm, and they were all surrounding one table.

At that table sat four people, a man and a woman, both in their thirties, along with two children.

The man and woman had faces full of fear, while the little boy and girl were crying out of fright, trembling as they cried out for their parents.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Mommy’s here,” the woman struggled to suppress her own terror to comfort the children.

“Wang Butou, seems like you’re living comfortably, taking your wife and kids to the inn for a meal,” the leading man sneered arrogantly, one foot resting on a chair.

“Liu big brother, please leave my wife and children out of this. I beg you to let them go,” Wang Butou pleaded, his forehead beading with sweat.

“Let them go? Who’s going to let me off then?” the burly man known as Liu big brother instantly responded with a vicious shout.

“Liu big brother, they seem to be eating quite well, just a bit too slowly,” another man coldly sneered with mockery.

“Hmph! Feed them properly!” Liu big brother commanded with a sneer.

Three men quickly approached; as they coldly sneered in mockery, they cruelly forced the food into the mouths of the woman and the two children, as though intending to make them eat to death, completely indifferent to the cries of the two frightened children.

“Stop it! Stop it now!” Wang Butou yelled frantically, his heart bleeding and anger burning as he watched his wife and children suffer such abuse.
