Chapter 424: Strange Fantasy Realm
That afternoon, Zhu Haomiao came alone to the headquarters of the Yanhuang Arsenal on the outskirts of the imperial capital and found Liu Hongbin to explain his purpose.

"You just ascended not long ago, don't you need to adjust yourself?"

"Uh……"

After hearing Liu Hongbin's words, Zhu Haomiao glanced at the levels of [Dao Heart] and original sin, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart, but on the surface he still smiled calmly.

"After Senior Sister Ye entered the Fantasy Realm, I have nothing to do in reality, so I might as well concentrate on cultivation."

Hearing this, Liu Hongbin raised a strange smile and patted Zhu Haomiao on the shoulder with an encouraging look.

"Good boy, if you work so hard, sooner or later you will catch up with her!"

"........."

Did you misunderstand something?
Zhu Haomiao seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end he could only give a polite yet awkward smile.

However, without noticing his subtle emotions at all, Liu Hongbin withdrew his big hand and his expression gradually became serious.

"However, before entering the Three Heavens Fantasy Realm, I have something I want to ask you."

Seeing Liu Hongbin being so serious, Zhu Haomiao sat up straight and nodded.

"Uncle Liu, please tell me."

"Do you have the power to [open the door] yourself?"

"........."

It was not until this moment that Zhu Haomiao suddenly realized that he often entered the Fantasy Realm from Senior Sister Ye's villa because he thought the distance was too far, and never passed through the door of the [Yanhuang Arsenal]!
And the subordinates of [Yanhuang Arsenal] in the fantasy realm had a general understanding of the time of his appearance. Once they compared the two, they could immediately find something unusual!
On the other side, seeing Zhu Haomiao's expression, Liu Hongbin already knew the answer and sighed helplessly.

"There is a gap in information between those inside and outside the gate. I am the only one who knows about this matter. You should pay attention to it in the future."

Unexpectedly, Liu Hongbin brushed it off so lightly. Zhu Haomiao, who was still frantically thinking of an excuse, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded seriously.

"I see, thank you Uncle Liu."

"It's okay. It's precisely because you have this ability that I will introduce you to the next fantasy realm."

As he spoke, Liu Hongbin took out a document from his desk and gently handed it to Zhu Haomiao.

While he was reading, Liu Hongbin was telling the story.

"This Three Heavens Fantasy Realm is very strange. The natives inside it can actually actively summon real beings. Currently, thousands of people from all over the world have entered it, but they are unable to build a [door]."

"Moreover, after the person outside the door enters, they will form some kind of strange contract anchor with the local native who summoned them. Once the native dies, the summoned person will also be exiled, which is equivalent to dying once."

"In addition, the two summoners will form a complementary symbiotic relationship, and a portion of the power growth of either party will spread to the other party..."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao frowned suspiciously.

"It's a bit like the Saint's Jinchuriki anchor..."

Looking at the boy in surprise, Liu Hongbin nodded seriously.

"But this connection method is only suitable for beings of extremely high status and extremely strong divinity. Most of the people who have entered this fantasy realm currently do not meet this condition!"

"Also, the Saint Jinchuriki's anchoring will not affect the life of the [believer]."

"When a Jinchūriki dies, at most his anchor point will be damaged, making it impossible to enter the Fantasy Realm. He won't perish along with the Jinchūriki!"

“Power should not be shared, but given unilaterally.”

…………

While looking through the information and listening to Liu Hongbin's story, Zhu Haomiao vaguely understood why he was looking for him.

"Uncle Liu, do you want me to go in and try to build a [door]?" "Well, this is only one of the purposes. I also want you to investigate this fantasy domain carefully. The strategic department has assessed that it has certain risks and needs to be completely eliminated."

"Risk? What risk?"

There are thousands of various bizarre fantasy realms, and the three-level fantasy realm in front of us is not uncommon.

Hearing this, Liu Hongbin was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"The Strategic Department was also vague about the details. I guess they only got some information through divination. That's why we need strong people to go in and investigate carefully."

After saying that, Liu Hongbin sat up straight and looked at Zhu Haomiao with a solemn expression.

"Xiao Zhu, this fantasy realm is different from the normal one. Once you enter it, the natives who summoned you will become your weakness. As long as your anchor point is destroyed, no matter how strong you are, it will be useless!"

"So, it is much more dangerous than other fantasy realms. You have to think carefully."

Listening to Liu Hongbin's earnest exhortation, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu. I will think about it carefully."

"Ah."

"Then when should I leave?"

"........."

Why don't you speak human language, kid?
After looking at Zhu Haomiao with an indescribable look, Liu Hongbin confirmed again.

"Are you sure you want to choose this fantasy realm?"

"Of course, the Infinite Type, undeveloped, is there a better choice than this in the Three Heavens?"

"........."

You didn't take any of the danger I mentioned before seriously!
After a few seconds of silence, Liu Hongbin nodded helplessly.

"Okay then. I'll take you to the Stargazing Pavilion tomorrow afternoon. They have special instruments there that can amplify your spirituality and allow you to actively listen to the call..."

"However, this method of waiting for something to happen is highly uncertain, and you have to be prepared to wait for a long time."

………………

The next afternoon, Zhu Haomiao subconsciously touched the delicate skin around his waist, covered it with the hem of his suit, and followed Liu Hongbin into a magnificent building that towered into the clouds.

It was like a sharp sword piercing the sky. It took several minutes to take the elevator to the top floor. After the elevator door opened, Zhu Haomiao scratched his numb and itchy ears and looked around curiously.

However, when the scene outside came into view, he was completely stunned.

As far as the eye can see, they are on a huge disc suspended in the void, surrounded by the vast dark universe, and countless tiny stars can be vaguely seen flickering.

Where did this come from for me?

Is this still domestic?

Looking at the dull and shocked eyes of the young man in black, Liu Hongbin secretly twitched the corners of his mouth.

"How is it? Spectacular, right? The first time I came here, I was just like you, speechless at the sight."

Patting the boy on the shoulder, Liu Hongbin held his vest and pushed him out of the elevator door, stepping onto the solid ground that was neither gold nor jade.

Zhu Haomiao felt the delicate and clear texture on the bottom of the black leather boots. He looked down and his pupils trembled.

The pattern on the ground is similar to the pattern on the [Dragon Emblem]!
His sight moved across the huge disc, and the young man in black suddenly discovered that the entire edge of the disc was made up of nine lifelike five-clawed dragons, as if he was standing in the center of a huge [Dragon Emblem]!
Looking around at the vast and endless dark starry sky, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, feeling his own insignificance.
