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

Observing Wan Tianyu's deferential manner, Yang Chen avoided any smugness. Instead, a heavy sense of puzzlement weighed on him.

Regardless of the circumstances, Wan Tianyu stood as a Heavenly Fate realm elder, with no reason for such treatment.

Yang Chen favored openness, so he questioned straightforwardly, "Elder Wan, why are you here today?"

"It’s about my daughter, Qiu Ying," Wan Tianyu replied.

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

Noting Wan Tianyu's grave expression, Yang Chen spoke, "Elder Wan, I regret Wan Qiuying’s plight. I've scoured various realms, yet found no leads. Regarding Wan Qiuying’s location, I truly can't uncover it quickly. Still, I won't abandon this effort. Should any progress arise, I'll notify you immediately."

Hearing this, Wan Tianyu felt content deep down.

He was familiar with Yang Chen's accomplishments, after all.

To the present Yang Chen, vast quantities of extreme universe essences meant little. His willingness to pursue this for Wan Tianyu's daughter proved his reliability.

Wan Tianyu let out a heartfelt sigh, "Yang Chen, I'm truly thankful for your efforts. I bring some positive news: I've located Qiu Ying’s position."

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

Wan Tianyu offered a faint grin, yet upon Yang Chen's query about Wan Qiu Ying’s spot, his face grew stern and weighty.

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

"The Netherworld seeks Miss Qiu Ying’s Spirit Fire Saint Body? What unique benefits does the Spirit Fire Saint Body offer 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 that all recognize. Yet, despite its value, it pales in comparison to the true gems: the world treasures housed within the Forbidden Spirit Palace!" Wan Tianyu declared.

"World treasures?" Yang Chen blinked in surprise.

"Understand that the Forbidden Spirit Palace forms the world of the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor himself. Naturally, it contains magical treasures. Some stand refined, others untouched. Regardless, they spark fierce rivalry among the mighty, capable of driving even Heavenly Extreme Realm experts to frenzy. Do you grasp the reason?" Wan Tianyu pressed.

Yang Chen shook his head, "Junior remains unaware."

Wan Tianyu chuckled lightly, "This is common knowledge, yet not for you. Allow me to explain. The Forbidden Spirit Ancestor ranks among the rare survivors from the origin land. Within this Dao Palace, innate artifacts gathered from the origin land might lurk. Refining such innate items into world treasures could ignite obsession among Universe Starry Sky powerhouses, outshining all else. Crucially, these origin land innate items can't be extracted elsewhere. With few returnees alive, you now see why the Forbidden Spirit Palace attracts countless powerhouses." Wan Tianyu elaborated.

Yang Chen reflected silently, admitting his prior lack of insight in this area. Wan Tianyu's words illuminated his former naivety.

It all clicked now.

Since he had no plans to venture into the Forbidden Spirit Palace as others perceived, such details had evaded him.

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

"Precisely. Permitting mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses inside would unleash utter turmoil, potentially sparking clan wars. No clan desires that, hence the rule limiting entry to early-stage Heavenly Fate Realm and weaker cultivators. They will vie for world treasures, yet without the wild desperation of mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm figures." Wan Tianyu said, stroking his beard.

Yang Chen grasped the logic.

For mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm experts, who had forged their own worlds, a potent world treasure could serve as a devastating weapon. They would cherish it beyond measure and fight relentlessly for it.

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

"It's known as the Hellfire Mountain, an unreformed treasure of the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor, ranking among the prime prizes clans battle over. During the previous incursion, clan powerhouses arrived unprepared. Despite full efforts, they couldn't budge the Hellfire Mountain. Ultimately, they required an element to attune with it," Wan Tianyu explained.

"Attune?" Yang Chen frowned in confusion.

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

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

"It appears that way currently. The Netherworld evidently investigated beforehand, fixating on our Spirit Fire Clan for this purpose. They aim to exploit my daughter to activate Hellfire Mountain. Therefore, rescuing Qiu Ying demands targeting the Hellfire Mountain." With that, Wan Tianyu fixed his gaze on Yang Chen.

Yang Chen hesitated briefly, then flashed a wry smile, anticipating Wan Tianyu's request.

As expected, Wan Tianyu continued gravely, "Yang Chen, I've advanced to mid-stage Heavenly Fate realm, barring me from the Forbidden Spirit Palace. Early-stage Heavenly Fate realm experts in my clan are occupied with other duties, and no one can be freed for just the Saintess of the Spirit Fire Clan. Thus, I turn to you..."
