Seeing that charming figure, it seemed that the gloom in Wei Chen's heart had lessened significantly.
It was none other than Gongye Hong, the granddaughter of the Grand Elder Gongye Long from the Temple of Martial Arts.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Gongye Hong, what brings you here?"
"Why can't I come?" Gongye Hong pouted, looking at Wei Chen with a strange expression.
Noticing Gongye Hong's demeanor, Wei Chen asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I want to ask you, did you kill the two elders from Privy Hall?" Gongye Hong inquired.
Wei Chen helplessly shrugged and replied, "Haven't I already passed? Yes, I killed them."
"I don't believe it." Gongye Hong shook her head. "You're just a Secondary God. Even if you had the chance to ambush them, you're not a match for the elders of Privy Hall."
"Believe it or not, I can't make you believe it." Wei Chen was at a loss. That matter was inconsequential; whether Gongye Hong believed him or not didn't bother him at all—he didn't care one bit.
Gongye Hong pouted and pondered for a moment before saying, "What did the Master of the Hall say to you? I saw him leave in such a mysterious manner."
"Your Master of the Hall appreciates me and wants to help me improve my strength. He went to get me some pills to enhance my abilities," Wei Chen chuckled, teasing Gongye Hong.
Gongye Hong was speechless. She shot Wei Chen a fierce glance and said, "Are you dreaming? The Temple of Martial Arts and your Duke Sui's Residence are rivals. You were captured by me; how could the Master of the Hall possibly give you any benefits?"
"Haha, I was just joking. You can't be fooled that easily."
"Hmph, how could I be fooled? I am the dignified Gongye sister; there's no way just anyone can trick me!"
"The surname Gongye is quite rare."
Wei Chen recalled his detailed experiences in the Soul World and the Demon Realm, as well as the less detailed Nine Immortal Realm and Hua Xia World—none of them had anyone with the surname Gongye. For a beautiful woman, having an appealing surname could certainly add to her charm. Conversely, if her name were unpleasant to hear, even if she were stunningly beautiful, Wei Chen wouldn't be too interested.
Interest is mutual. If Gongye Hong is interested in Wei Chen, then Wei Chen must also have some feelings for Gongye Hong.
Wei Chen squinted as he observed Gongye Hong. At that moment, she was wearing a long white dress. Under his gaze, she appeared somewhat shy, but to Wei Chen, it was a rare display of tenderness. Although Gongye Hong often came off as spicy and bold, she was actually a very gentle person. Growing up in the Temple of Martial Arts, her first mission had put her in danger; if it weren't for Wei Chen, she would have been in trouble.
Gongye Hong found it amusing that her life was saved by someone she had just met, someone who had once robbed her…
What neither Wei Chen nor Gongye Hong knew was that while they were "working together" against the two elders of Privy Hall, the Old Master of the Temple of Martial Arts was lurking in the shadows, missing nothing. It was precisely because of this that the Old Master truly confirmed Wei Chen's identity.
"What are you staring at?" Gongye Hong feigned anger, feeling a bit flustered under Wei Chen's intense gaze.
Wei Chen chuckled and replied, "I'm admiring a beautiful woman. With looks like yours, how could I not look?"
Gongye Hong was taken aback and speechless.
"What’s wrong with me? In the Demon Realm, there are so many wives waiting for me—Sister Wei Rou, Snow Cicada, Mu Qingyan, Qiqi—they're all stunning beauties. Isn’t that enough?"
In terms of appearance alone, Gongye Hong could hold her own against them; however, due to her youth, she lacked some of the mature charm that women like Sister Qingya and Sister Wei Rou possessed.
Yet why did he find himself enjoying being with this girl so much? It seemed that when he was with her, all his burdens—the tasks of obtaining the Kunlun Mirror and Shennong Ding and dealing with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming—were cast aside!
Gongye Hong gave Wei Chen a sense of comfort that made all his worries fade away.
Because of this, Wei Chen found it strange; what kind of magic did this girl possess?
He remained silent, gazing intently at Gongye Hong.
Feeling uncomfortable under his scrutiny, Gongye Hong pouted and said, "Wei Chen, what are you looking at?"
"Gongye Hong," Wei Chen said seriously as he fixed his gaze on her. "Tell me honestly, when you're with me, do you feel something similar to what I feel? A sense of ease?"
Gongye Hong couldn't understand why Wei Chen suddenly became serious, but she felt a bit embarrassed to answer Wei Chen's question.
After hesitating for a moment, Gongye Hong whispered, "I do feel that way..."
Although she didn't want to admit it, Gongye Hong was even worse at lying.
Wei Chen pondered silently, "How strange. Could it be that there is something about Gongye Hong that resonates with me?"
With Wei Chen's current strength, it wasn't difficult to see through someone. Even though Gongye Hong was at the Fifth Level Divine Realm, discerning her wasn't a challenge. Wei Chen scrutinized Gongye Hong from head to toe, even peering into her inner self. She discovered that Gongye Hong practiced the orthodox Endless Divine Realm Divine Realm System, and there was nothing that could resonate with Wei Chen.
However, after a long period of observation, Wei Chen noticed some anomalies.
Within Gongye Hong's body, there existed the presence of a Spatial Prototype!
That slowly flowing aura could only be the Spatial Prototype!
"This girl actually has a Spatial Prototype within her?"
"That could make her a true deity!"
"I wonder if she is aware of it; perhaps she doesn't even know about her hidden talent?"
Wei Chen chose not to reveal this and withdrew her gaze.
Finally escaping Wei Chen's scrutiny, Gongye Hong hurriedly said, "Let me take you out for a walk. You'll be staying at the Temple of Martial Arts for a while. The Master of the Hall asked me to show you around so you can adapt to the environment. He also mentioned that you might encounter some trouble."
"Trouble? In the Temple of Martial Arts? Really?"
"Of course! It's from the Master of the Hall himself." Gongye Hong's face showed concern; she didn't want to see Wei Chen get into any trouble.
Wei Chen calmly asked, "Where is the trouble coming from?"
"The Master of the Hall, you have injured Elder Liu. Qian Youshi and Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, will come looking for you."
"Qian Youshi? Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master? Heh, what are their strengths?"
"Qian Youshi is at the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle. If he comes out of this retreat successfully, he might become a Sixth-Level Deity, which is the Supreme God Realm. As for Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, he has already reached the Supreme God Realm. In our Temple of Martial Arts, my grandfather is the Grand Elder, along with the Master of the Hall and the Left Envoy; the three of them form one faction. Qian Youshi and Yue Songyang belong to another faction, and there are quite a few members of the Temple of Martial Arts who follow their orders."
After a pause, Gongye Hong looked at Wei Chen with concern and advised, "If we encounter them, let's just avoid them. We definitely shouldn't confront them directly; it won't end well."
Wei Chen secretly cursed, "That old Fellow really knows how to scheme. Dealing with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming is my responsibility; why have the rival factions within the Temple of Martial Arts also become my enemies? This trick is truly clever—killing two birds with one stone!"
Wei Chen felt frustrated. He sensed that he had been set up by the Old Master of the Temple of Martial Arts. What was even worse was that he hadn't gained any benefits so far. The Old Master had gone to fetch some elixirs, but did it really take that long to get an elixir?
"That old Fellow must want me to help him deal with the rival forces within the Temple of Martial Arts; he's simply despicable!"
"He won't show his face until I've achieved something, right?"
The so-called achievement meant suppressing Qian Youshi and Vice Hall Master Yue Songyang's faction.
Wei Chen had done such things before, but previously he had taken the initiative; this time he felt like he was being passively "entrapped" by the cunning Old Master.
However, on second thought, perhaps this was a good thing. Being new here and lacking confidence in his own strength, battling against strong opponents would help him better adapt to the pressure of the Endless Divine Realm. It might even assist him later when dealing with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Chen said, "Isn't that old Fellow in another Divine Realm while Vice Hall Master Yue Songyang is here?"
"Yes, Vice Hall Master is traveling in another Divine Realm right now. Currently in the Temple of Martial Arts is Qian Youshi. His strength is formidable; you definitely aren't his match, so it's better to be cautious," Gongye Hong explained.
"Alright then, let's go. Show me around the Temple of Martial Arts."
Gongye Hong led Wei Chen through the Temple of Martial Arts, casually strolling while explaining the intricacies of the temple.
Through this exploration, Wei Chen was deeply impressed by the power of the Temple of Martial Arts. Within the Southern Ming Divine Domain, under the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, there were tens of thousands of Cloud Spirit Sect forces, all subordinate to the Temple of Martial Arts and under its jurisdiction. Despite her young age, Gongye Hong would be considered a supreme being among those Cloud Spirit Sect forces.
Typically, a Boundary God entering the Endless Divine Realm would need to affiliate with some Cloud Spirit Sect forces to seek methods for breakthroughs, aiming to become a First-Level Deity or even a Fifth-Level Deity. This was a common practice; all newly arrived Boundary Gods in the Endless Divine Realm found it nearly impossible to progress without aligning themselves with Cloud Spirit Sect forces, joining an army, or becoming part of the Supreme God's personal guard.
After all, the Endless Divine Realm was rich in divine stones as cultivation resources. With divine stones, cultivation would proceed smoothly; without them, progress would be slow, making it more beneficial to cultivate within one's Ancestral Realm. For Boundary Gods, cultivating in their Ancestral Realm could be quite lonely. Even if surrounded by countless Beauty Companions, the solitude of unmatched prowess was difficult to bear. Thus, they sought out the Endless Divine Realm; even at the lowest level, it provided a sense of vitality and new goals.
Every Boundary God who came to the Endless Divine Realm had no choice but to leave their Ancestral Realm behind; enduring such a life was unbearable.
From Gongye Hong's words, Wei Chen gained insight into the strength of the Temple of Martial Arts and a preliminary understanding of the Endless Divine Realm. Attempting to seize the Kunlun Mirror from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming would be extremely challenging; without Stellar Power, it was virtually impossible. Using Stellar Power carried risks of exposure—once a decision was made to act, one had to act swiftly and decisively before retreating quickly.
After wandering for half a day, as evening approached, a terrifying aura erupted from the back mountain of the Temple of Martial Arts, plunging the entire temple into silence.
The aura was extremely violent and furious!
Suddenly, an Old Master who had been missing appeared with a serious expression and warned Wei Chen: "Child, Qian Youshi has emerged from seclusion in the Sixth Level Divine Realm; you must be cautious."
"Old man, do you think I'm just a pawn?" Wei Chen retorted angrily.
The Old Master vanished without a trace.
A figure filled with murderous intent appeared before Wei Chen.
