Chapter 870: Chapter 873: The Situation with the Storm’s Eye_1

Lin Zhen arrived at No. 77 Queen’s Avenue as instructed, and as soon as he got to the door, it swung open. Chen Yuan and a few others were waiting to welcome him.

“Haha! Our younger brother has arrived. Come, let me introduce you to the others.”

Chen Yuan took Lin Zhen’s hand and pointed to the three people behind him: “These three are not outsiders. They all hail from the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake. Each one is Lv Tianhua, Mu En, and Arudi.”

Lv Tianhua was a sturdy man that stood like a long lance, exuding an overwhelming sharpness. It was evident he was a master of long-range weapons.

Mu En was a brown-haired man, a swordsman.

Arudi, on the other hand, was a tall and robust man, so strong that he seemed almost non-human.

Among them, Chen Yuan, Mu En, and Arudi were all in the late stage of the God Realm, while Lv Tianhua was at the peak of the God Realm, looking as if he was close to entering the Divine Stone Realm.

Lv Tianhua laughed heartily: “If it wasn’t for Chen Yuan mentioning it, I wouldn’t have known that our famous Saint Master Lin Zhen of Tianfang City also originated from the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake. As soon as I heard the news, I immediately asked Chen Yuan to contact you. No matter what, we must have Brother Lin join our team. Knowing each other’s roots and bottoms, we can easily look after one another!”

Mu En said, “With Brother Lin here, I’m finally not the weakest link in the team.”

Lv Tianhua laughed, “That’s not necessarily true. Brother Lin is a Saint-Level Alchemist and can even refine the life-saving Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. In some ways, he is the most important one.”

Upon hearing these words, Mu En’s face became slightly gloomy.

Arudi patted his chest, “Brother! If you’re ever in danger, just hide behind me. I will protect you. But if I end up dying, you must be responsible for my revival.”

Lv Tianhua punched Arudi, “Do you think reviving you is free? The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Lin needs to use costs a lot. Let me make it clear here. If anyone in our team dies in the future, Brother Lin will be responsible for the revival. However, he should also get an extra share of the Divine Stones we obtain in the Eye of the Storm.”

Lv Tianhua’s consideration was very comprehensive, stating things in advance to avoid disputes later.

Lin Zhen also laughed, “In that case, I won’t be polite.”

At this time, Mu En squinted and said, “It is indeed good to have a skill. Burn some herbs with fire, and you can earn more than others who risk their lives. Brother Lin, I really admire you Alchemists.”

Lin Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, “Whether it’s alchemy or martial arts, it’s all for the purpose of better cultivation. It requires painstaking effort to achieve. If Brother Mu is jealous, he can also burn some herbs.”

Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Mu En’s face turned even more ugly. He didn’t expect Lin Zhen to dare to retort.

About to say something, Lv Tianhua waved his hand, “Don’t talk about that now. Brother Lin being able to refine pills is his skill. Who can guarantee that they’ll never encounter danger in the Eye of the Storm? We might need Brother Lin’s elixir at any moment. We shouldn’t upset him.”

Upon hearing this, Mu En finally chose to close his mouth. He knew that everyone needed Lin Zhen and he couldn’t offend him easily.

The group did not continue with such conversations and cheerfully entered the room.

Once they sat down indoors, Lv Tianhua said, “Since we all agree to team up, let’s put things straight first. I’ll be taking the role of team leader. Once we’re inside the Eye of the Storm, none of us should act alone— we should advance and retreat as one. The Divine Stones we obtain will be equally distributed. What do you think of this?”

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, “Brother Lv, as the team leader and the strongest among us, you should get more.”

Lin Zhen also said, “That’s right. Those who are more powerful should get more. Otherwise, even if I bring out a Golden Pill to save someone, I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking more Divine Stones.”

“All right then, I’ll take an extra portion. Also, if Brother Lin uses a Golden Pill, he should also get an extra portion of the Divine Stones. Let’s settle this.”

No one disagreed. Mu En opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.

After they agreed on the distribution, Lv Tianhua took out a map.

“This is a map of the Eye of the Storm, and it marks the interior situation of the Eye of the Storm.”

“As you all know, there was a divine war in the Eye of the Storm. Two powerful deities met their end there. One of them was the God of Hurricane, and the other was the God of Thunderstorm. These two were even considered powerful among the gods and both had countless formidable underlings. The war they waged basically annihilated an entire star system.”

“In that war, millions of strong ones fell, including tens of thousands of demigods. Some of these demigods had even reached the King Sealing level. It is said that there were even those of Hall of Fame level.”

“Our purpose in entering the Eye of the Storm is to collect the treasures these figures have left behind, among which the most important are the Divine Stones.”

“The Four Deities have set up an exchange platform here. Everyone inside the Eye of the Storm can exchange their Divine Stones for treasures to improve their strength. Here, everyone is a competitor, so we must form a team for self-preservation.”

Mu En interjected, “The battlefield of Divine Stones prohibits demigods from entering. We five move together and there shouldn’t be much risk, right?”

At this point, Lv Tianhua said with some heaviness, “There is some bad news that I need to tell you. Three days ago, a demigod tried to enter the Eye of the Storm and discovered that this prohibition has disappeared.”

“What? Even demigods can enter now?” Arudi also opened his mouth wide in surprise.

“Indeed, there seems to be a reason for this event. It appears that one of the deities has a close relationship with Hidden Sky City. A Hall of Fame member from Hidden Sky City, along with several King Sealing levels of strong ones, jointly asked the deity to lift the ban, allowing demigods to enter the Storm Eye. That deity is one of the Gods who set up the rewards in the Storm Eye. Thanks to his efforts, the ban was lifted.”

Hearing this, something stirred in Lin Zhen’s heart.

Hidden Sky City, wasn’t that the city where Ruthless King, whom he had met at the auction house, lived?

Could the lifting of the ban on Demigods entering the Storm Eye have something to do with him?

At this moment, Lin Zhen recalled the words Ruthless King had spoken to him when leaving the auction house: since he had acquired the Ethereal Divine Clock, he should keep it well and not lose it in the Storm Eye.

Thinking back on it, these words seemed to carry a deeper meaning. If it was Ruthless King who had done this, then the danger within the Storm Eye would surely double.

However, this speculation was still too early to verbalize. He could only take one step at a time.

Lv Tianhua continued explaining the situation in the Storm Eye.

“Due to the entrance of Demigod strong ones, we must be more careful. Do not provoke those real strong ones. Do not venture into dangerous areas as much as possible. We are all seasoned warriors and know that only those who survive have a future. Never lose yourself to temporary greed. For instance, Wind Thunder Valley—the core of the Storm Eye—is absolutely forbidden to enter.”

“Senior Brother Lv, what kind of place is Wind Thunder Valley? Is it on a planet?”

“No. Wind Thunder Valley is the result of hundreds of planets colliding and forming a huge ravine-like ruin. That is where the two gods fought their final battle. It’s said that the legacy left by the two gods and several Hall of Fame-level experts lie there, making it the core of the Storm Eye. Not a single person who has attempted to enter has come back alive.”

At this point, Mu En said, “Then we better keep our distance. Such a place would most probably already be monopolized by Demigods. Venturing there would mean certain death. It’s better to make do on the periphery.”

Lv Tianhua nodded, “Besides Wind Thunder Valley being the top forbidden area, there are the Planet Graveyard and the Intersecting Continent. These two places are also where a large number of warriors died. The Planet Graveyard has seen the most deaths, though the overall power level is relatively lower.”

“Fewer people died in the Intersecting Continent, but most of them were Divine Stones, Demigods, or even King Sealing Demigods. Hence, the quality of treasures there is higher.”

“When we enter, our primary goal is to go to the Planet Graveyard, which is where the lower-level martial artists mingle. If we rashly head to the Intersecting Continent, we are likely to be made mincemeat of by the demigods.”

After a mouthful of words, Lv Tianhua took a brief rest and said, “That’s pretty much the situation. If we run into people from the Ground Clan in the Storm Eye, try to stay as restrained as possible. Our main enemies are the Endless Species. If we encounter them, a battle will ensue. So everyone be careful.”

Chen Yuan chuckled, “Got it. Our team’s status in the Storm Eye can be best described as a ‘loser’ team. We must not recklessly venture into the high-end area. If we do, we wouldn’t even know how we died.”

Lv Tianhua laughed, “This description may not be very pleasant, but it’s fitting.”

Chen Yuan asked, “Captain, when are we leaving?”

“The Storm Eye will open in less than a week. If everyone is ready, we can set off now. It takes at least five days to reach the area of the Storm Eye from here.”

“We’re ready, we’re ready!” Everyone responded in chorus.

“Okay, let’s prepare to set off then. Get into my car.”

Lv Tianhua lifted his hand, and a Dragon Car pulled by a green dragon appeared.

“Get in. First, we’ll go to the city lord’s mansion to get our numbers. They’ll be checking at the Storm Eye. Non-registered martial artists are not allowed to enter.”

A few people got onto the Dragon Car. The green dragon let out a roar and soared into the sky, heading in the direction of the city lord’s mansion.

A few minutes later, the Dragon Car landed in front of the city lord’s mansion, and the five people got off one by one.

A long queue had already formed at the entrance of the city lord’s mansion. All martial artists intending to go to the Storm Eye had to register and receive a number here.

After queuing for a full six hours, it was finally the turn of Lin Zhen’s team.

“Here are your numbers. Team 88026 of Tianfang City, five members. The team leader is Lv Tianhua, and the members are Chen Yuan, Arudi, Mu En, and Lin Zhen. Please check if there are any errors.”

“There are no errors.”

“Your Dimensional Universe has already been activated. After arriving at the Storm Eye, you should be able to pass the inspection and enter. You can check the panel for God’s rewards through your Dimensional Universe. All the rewards are listed there clearly.”

The group nodded in agreement, turned around, and left the city lord’s mansion.

“Alright, junior brothers, let’s depart for the Storm Eye now. I hope everyone keeps their spirits up and maintains the reputation of our Falling Star Lake Holy Land!”

With that, Lv Tianhua waved his hand, and the Dragon Car started.

“Let’s go!”
