Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1761 - 409: Advancing to the Melt God Realm, Awakening the Martial God Domain

Clutched within Chen Jie's hand was the Melt God Pill, its form previously unexamined in his haste. He now observed the elixir, recognizing its extraordinary nature.

Golden and spherical, the pill bore a striking resemblance to the legendary Golden Core. A subtle fragrance wafted from it, not overpowering, yet when gripped and felt with his Gang Qi, it seemed to contain a dormant, alarming power, like a sealed volcano.

Could this truly be the Melt God Pill that heroes across the world so desperately sought? Chen Jie tightened his grip, a profound need for a secluded spot to cultivate and achieve the Melt God Realm overwhelming him.

Reaching into his storage ring, Chen Jie produced a fire stick. A swift blow ignited it, flames erupting. He used the fire stick's light to survey his surroundings, discovering oil lamps affixed to the walls of the secret passage.

He extended his hand, igniting the lamps, and the secret passage was instantly bathed in light. Chen Jie took in the scene: the passage was not narrow, stretching eight to nine meters wide, ample space for two carriages abreast. Its walls were smooth, crafted from an unidentifiable material.

He and the Little Ming King stood upon a platform. Chen Jie scanned the area, noting the ceiling was five to six meters above, rendering the passage impressively spacious and free from any feeling of suffocation.

Holding the fire stick, Chen Jie cautiously began his descent down the steps, wary of potential hidden weapons. However, his caution proved excessive, as the passage was entirely devoid of any such implements.

Reflecting on it, the entrance mechanism above was incredibly difficult to operate, even requiring the Heaven and Earth Transposition technique. Without such a method, not even individuals at the Melt God Realm could have opened this secret passage. This fact alone rendered the need for hidden traps obsolete.

Anyone possessing the strength to breach this passage by force would likely have already attained the Land Immortal Realm. Against such formidable power, any trap would be utterly ineffectual. Alternatively, if one had mastered Heaven and Earth Transposition to gain entry, they were probably descendants of the Holy Sect, entering during a time of dire peril for the sect, facing potential annihilation. In such circumstances, why would they necessitate traps?

Would they lay traps for their own descendants? Consequently, the passage lacked any defensive measures like traps. Nevertheless, it was outfitted with numerous storage rooms.

Chen Jie stepped into one such storage room. Despite the darkness, it was remarkably dry, free from any dampness, maintained so through some unknown method. The room was replete with provisions.

Upon opening containers, Chen Jie found preserved grains, dried meats, and rice wine, all with extended shelf lives, intended for sustenance. He estimated that the supplies within this single room could sustain two to three thousand individuals for a span of seven days.

As Chen Jie surveyed the provisions, a question arose in his mind. The Little Ming King, sensing his curiosity, explained, "Every year during the Cold Food Festival, the Holy Sect conducts solemn prayers led by the Sect Hierarch. A vital component of this ritual involves replacing the aging provisions for the Fire Heavenly Venerate with fresh grain, dried meat, and wine!"

Chen Jie now understood. These were likely the wartime reserves of the Zoroastrian Sect. As a religious order, they possessed a penchant for imbuing their actions with an air of mystique. For instance, their stockpiling of strategic supplies was framed as a cold food tribute, offered to the Zoroastrian Sect's paramount deity, the Fire Heavenly Venerate.

According to the scriptures of the Zoroastrian Sect, the Fire Heavenly Venerate originated from the primordial flame of existence, revered as one of the most ancient of deities. In antiquity, observing humanity's harsh existence, the Fire Heavenly Venerate bestowed upon them the knowledge of fire. Thus, humankind gained dominion over fire, sparking the flourishing of myriad civilizations. Without the Fire Heavenly Venerate's gift, humans would still be subsisting on raw sustenance, akin to beasts, and the subsequent development of countless civilizations would have been impossible.

Because of this, the Zoroastrian Sect holds the Fire Heavenly Venerate in the highest regard, considering him their principal deity for delivering humanity from its primitive state. The Zoroastrian Sect designates the Cold Food Festival as its most significant observance. As no fires are kindled on this day, it is deemed a sacred occasion, necessitating abundant food, meat, and wine for devotional offerings.

The altar, alongside the Ming King, was situated within this secret passage, effectively transforming the storage of crucial supplies into a sacred observance. Here, the stored grain, dried meat, and wine are replenished daily, ensuring the integrity of the provisions within the secret passage.Chen Jie couldn’t help but marvel at the diverse techniques employed by the Zoroastrian Sect. With this thought, Chen Jie examined the provisions available, confirming their edibility. "This is truly a superb sanctuary," he declared. Having spoken, Chen Jie surveyed the surroundings and swiftly located a secluded spot to settle. He turned to Little Ming King, saying, "You are free to explore this area. I intend to break through my cultivation realm here. Once my advancement is successful, we shall ascend and confront the Demon Slayer Monk." Upon hearing this, Little Ming King responded, "Understood, Chen Shaohua. Proceed with your breakthrough, and I shall stand guard as your protector, ensuring your solitude!" Chen Jie, hearing Little Ming King's offer of protection, felt a chuckle bubble up. He almost said, "No need for that, young one," but observing the youth's wide, apprehensive eyes, he understood. Little Ming King was genuinely intimidated by the Demon Slayer Monk, and despite the expansive and magnificent nature of the locale, its subterranean setting likely unnerved him.
