Lin Dong detected Tian Sha's intrusive divine sense probe and countered by trapping him in an unbreakable mental power prison. Tian Sha apologized profusely, offering rare treasures as compensation, which Lin Dong shrewdly negotiated into three millennium Spring Encountering Trees. After delivering the items, Tian Sha expressed admiration and hinted at mysterious rumors surrounding the Five Elements Land, the site of the upcoming War God Competition.

Countless hidden mysteries lurk in the extraterrestrial battlefield, where the Domain of Five Elements gleams as the brightest jewel amid them all.

At Lin Dong's question, Tian Sha's eyes sharpened like a hawk's, gradually peeling back the enigmatic layers of the Domain of Five Elements for him.

"Lin Dong, do you know why the Domain of Five Elements shines so uniquely across the whole extraterrestrial battlefield?" Tian Sha's voice rang deep and captivating, slicing through the night's darkness to strike right at the core.

Lin Dong shook his head: "I don’t know much about the Domain of Five Elements or the extraterrestrial battlefield."

Tian Sha pressed on:

"It's because this spot is the sole wondrous area where Five Elements Energy fuse in perfect harmony. Metal's edge, wood's vitality, water's fluidity, fire's ferocity, and earth's weight all balance miraculously in this confined space. Beyond sustaining Five Elements Demonic Beasts, it fosters myriad rare worldly treasures."

Lin Dong's eyes gleamed upon hearing this, clearly captivated by the revelation.

"Take the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree, for example—legends claim it's the prime component for refining the Deadwood Dan, with its branches vital for crafting superior elixir pills. In the Domain of Five Elements, such Divine Woods form vast groves, a truly staggering sight!"

"That's not all," Tian Sha went on, his tone laced with irrepressible thrill.

"The Domain of Five Elements also breeds hosts of Medicine King Rank spiritual items, priceless aids for martial artists advancing their cultivation. Yet these are just starters; the real heart-stirrer is the ’Heart of Origin’ buried at its profoundest depths."

Mentioning the "Heart of Origin," Tian Sha's voice dropped instinctively, as if wary of disturbing some dormant ancient god.

"The Heart of Origin forms the extraterrestrial battlefield's nucleus; it holds this world's primal energy and stands as the ultimate prize every Martial Artist craves. Obtaining it lets even Heavenly Realm experts bypass realm walls and ascend straight to the next stage."

"For elite figures stalled at Fourth Layer Heaven Peak yearning for the Subcestor Realm, the Heart of Origin unlocks the path forward, vastly boosting breakthrough odds."

"Cultivating under the Heart of Origin raises our chances— for us below Subcestor, the pinnacle forces at Fourth Layer Heaven Peak—by five full levels to reach Subcestor; such an irresistible lure!"

Hearing this, Lin Dong's heart raced wildly, plainly stirred by the newly unveiled Heart of Origin.

Yet he kept his composure and promptly voiced a key doubt:

"With such vast power in the Heart of Origin, why not hunt it alone instead of partnering with me?"

Tian Sha smirked playfully at the query: "Brother, you wouldn't know. The Heart of Origin's spot is a death trap of perils, packed with natural hazards and sentinel beasts—even peak non-Subcestor elites tread it with utmost caution."

"An extra ally adds power, particularly one like you: excelling in martial might, intellect, and poise—a total prodigy."

Lin Dong paused briefly, silently balancing risks and gains.

Tian Sha's logic rang true; chasing such a supreme treasure solo spelled grave danger.

Besides, as Dragon Country War Department comrades, unity against trials made sense.

"Fine, I’ll team up with you." Lin Dong resolved firmly, eyes resolute, "But we need to set clear rules upfront for splitting the Heart of Origin."

"Haha, naturally." Tian Sha boomed with laughter, thrusting out his right hand, "Fairness and justice guide us—the harder the work, the bigger the share. Brother, let’s clasp hands and seize that Heart of Origin jointly!"

Thus, their alliance was sealed.

Next, they hashed out details.

"Too much can’t be detailed yet. The Heart of Origin's site supposedly harbors Subcestor Level demonic beasts."

"We’ll plan on arrival. Watch for rivals too—I hear even the White-clothed Blood Monk, top of the Five Elements Stele, will join the hunt for the Heart of Origin's fortune."

"He’s lingered at Fourth Layer Heaven Peak ages without hitting Subcestor. This chance? He won’t pass it up."

"Plus, plenty of other Fourth Layer Heaven Peak and Third Layer Heaven Peak Heavenly Realm Martial Artists may sneak in covertly."

Lin Dong nodded at that, eyes flashing as thoughts churned.

"Okay, it’s late. I’ll return now; we’ll refine plans post-War God Competition start."

With the vital pact forged alongside Lin Dong, Tian Sha's form melted swiftly into the night's shadows, like a ghost unseen.

Alone in the room, Lin Dong stood rooted, staring intently afar.

The evening breeze brought chill yet failed to calm his inner tempest.

Lin Dong breathed out stale Qi slowly, inwardly awed:

"Who knew the fabled Domain of Five Elements cradled not just boundless treasures and chances but such profound enigmas."

"Small wonder even reclusive Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, usually aloof overhead, flock to this War God Competition—for the Heart of Origin and the extraterrestrial battlefield's heavenly-earthly bounties."

At the thought of the Heart of Origin, fiery zeal sparked in Lin Dong's gaze.

It could shatter Heavenly Realm Martial Artists' bottlenecks.

Now a Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven Martial Artist, he grasped how brutal those Heavenly Realm hurdles were.

His prior leap from First Layer Heaven Peak to Second Layer Heaven had tormented him endlessly.

Without fortune, years might have dragged before success!

Though alluring, the Heart of Origin restored his cool-headedness; he chuckled wryly:

"The Heart of Origin in the extraterrestrial battlefield tempts greatly, but at my current power—far from Second Layer Heaven Peak—it's as elusive as a mirage moon or mirrored bloom."

Shifting to tangible matters:

"Still, it doesn’t bar me from seizing chances. The War Department Competition offers the ideal arena to boost my cultivation and push strength to Second Layer Heaven Peak."

"Then I can leverage the Heart of Origin."

Schemes swirled in his thoughts:

"I’ll deploy the Devouring Technique to claim foes’ cultivation for myself, slaying more on the battlefield—be they foreign elite soldiers or savage demon beasts—all fuel to climb toward Second Layer Heaven Peak. Every absorption propels me closer."

Lin Dong's stare hardened with resolve; a solid path now lit his mind.

This War Department Competition transcends mere top-rank glory.

Priority: surge strength to Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven Peak.

Then vie for the Heart of Origin, harnessing it to vault from Second Layer Heaven Peak to Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven!

These form his prime aims for the War Department Competition.
