Super God: I simulated the heavens and was broadcast live in public

Chapter 242 The Hidden Force

The moment the crystal ball touched the barrier, the barrier flashed with light, seemingly showing a slight loosening.

"There's a show!"

Upon seeing this, Yunming immediately mobilized his own power and launched an attack on the restriction together with Fengyi.

Under the combined attack of the three, the barrier gradually weakened and finally shattered.

Yunming rushed forward and opened the box that was floating in the air.

Inside the box lay a jade pendant emitting a strange light, engraved with ancient runes, clearly no ordinary object.

The moment Yunming picked up the jade pendant, the entire ruins began to shake violently, and a cold voice rang in everyone's minds: "Someone has obtained a key item. The ruins are about to collapse. The survivors will receive a generous reward."

"No, retreat quickly!"

Yunming shouted, and the three of them immediately ran towards the exit of the ruins.

Along the way, rocks kept falling, making the surrounding environment precarious.

Finally, they managed to escape through the exit before the ruins completely collapsed.

As soon as they came out, they saw a huge screen in the sky, displaying the names of the three people and their rewards: "Yunming, Qiangwei, and Fengyi have successfully obtained key items. Rewards: one random high-level skill book, one top-level cultivation resource, and one chance to win a mystery lottery."

Yunming looked at the rewards on the screen, his heart filled with joy.

The exploration of the ruins yielded results far exceeding his expectations.

Rose and Feng Yi were equally excited; these rewards would allow them to reach even greater heights in the multiverse live stream.

"Yunming, this collaboration was quite pleasant. I hope there will be more opportunities in the future."

Rose looked at Yunming and said.

"Of course, maybe next time we can accomplish an even more challenging task together."

Yunming responded with a smile.

Feng Yi said from the side, "We are able to receive so many rewards this time thanks to everyone."

I hope we can all become stronger in the future live streams across the heavens.

"Can you divine the secrets of heaven, predict fate, and plan for the future?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Rose's eyes. "You? That sounds utterly absurd."

Yunming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Absurd? There are plenty of absurd things in this world. How do you know that what I'm saying isn't true? My ability to walk on this water is the best proof. This is not something an ordinary person can do."

Rose bit her lower lip. Although she still had doubts, Yunming's strange abilities forced her to take him seriously: "Fine, even if you can, then tell me, how exactly does this information exchange work? What information do you want from me, and what information can you give me?"

Yunming slowly approached Qiangwei on the water, looking at her calmly: "I need everything you know about this world regarding the distribution of various forces, information about the powerful, especially those forces hidden in the shadows."

What I can give you is crucial information concerning your future survival, information that can help you survive in this complex and dangerous world.

Rose scoffed, "You make it sound so easy. How do I know if the information you give me is actually useful? Maybe you're just trying to fool me."

Yunming said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Do you think I went to all this trouble just to trick you into giving me this little bit of information? Besides, I can give you a heads-up first.

Have you been feeling like there's a pair of eyes watching you from the shadows lately, and that feeling of being spied on follows you wherever you go?

Rose's expression changed drastically. She did have that feeling, but she thought it was just her imagination. She never expected Yunming to know: "You... how did you know?"

"This is a testament to my abilities."

Yunming crossed his arms and said, "This is just a small example, enough to prove that what I said is true."

"So, are you willing to trade with me now?"

Rose remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

She does indeed face many crises in this world, and if she can obtain useful information, she might be able to change the current situation: "Okay, I'll make a deal with you."

"But first you have to tell me, whose eyes are those that are spying on me?"

Yunming shook his head: "There are rules to every transaction. Give me the information I need first, and I will naturally give you the corresponding reward."

Moreover, the value of the information varies, and the price I pay also varies.

The issue you raised is worth more than just one piece of information.

Rose was annoyed but helpless: "Fine, I'll go first."

This world is openly comprised of three major empires: the Tianyuan Empire, the Qingyang Empire, and the Xuanfeng Empire.

The Tianyuan Empire is the most powerful, and its emperor's strength is unfathomable; it is said that he has reached the peak of the Tianxuan Realm.

The Qingyang Empire and the Xuanfeng Empire are slightly weaker, but they should not be underestimated. Both emperors are at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm.

Besides these three great empires, there are also some sects and families, such as the Lingxiao Sword Sect, which has many experts and is known for its fierce swordsmanship. The sect leader, Lingxiaozi, is a late-stage Tianxuan Realm expert.

There's also the Murong family, with a profound family foundation; their patriarch, Murong Zhentian, is also at the late stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm.

Yunming listened quietly, nodding slightly from time to time: "Hmm, this information is somewhat valuable."

What about the forces hidden in the shadows?

Rose frowned: "The hidden forces... I don't know much about them either."

There is only a mysterious organization called Shadow Pavilion, which is skilled in assassination. Its members are spread all over the world. No one knows where the headquarters is or who the leader is. All that is known is that each operation is extremely secretive and the methods are ruthless.

There is also the Blood Demon Sect, whose actions are bizarre. They cultivate by drinking human blood and are extremely evil, but they always keep a low profile and rarely show themselves to the world.

Yunming narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems this world is quite complicated."

Do you know anything about artifacts or ancient ruins?

A hint of hesitation flashed in Rose's eyes, and after a moment she said, "I have heard a rumor that in the far north there is an ancient ruin that is said to contain a powerful artifact that can make one a ruler of the world."

But that place is fraught with danger, guarded by numerous powerful beasts and mysterious restrictions; over the years, no one who has ventured there has ever returned alive.

Yunming nodded thoughtfully: "Very good, this information of yours is very helpful to me."

Now it's my turn to keep my promise.

Those eyes that are watching you come from the Shadow Pavilion.

I'm targeting you because you possess something I want, but I don't know exactly what it is for now.

But be careful. Once the Shadow Pavilion sets its sights on you, they won't give up easily. They'll definitely try every means to take things from you, and might even kill you.

Rose's face turned extremely pale: "Then what should I do? The Shadow Pavilion is so mysterious and powerful, I am no match for them at all."

Yunming shrugged: "That's not something I should be thinking about."

However, if you're willing to continue trading with me, I might be able to offer you some solutions.

Rose gritted her teeth: "Fine, let's continue the transaction."

I want to know how to survive the Shadow Lodge's pursuit.

Yunming held up one finger: "This is worth three pieces of information. You have to give me three pieces of valuable information first." Qiangwei took a deep breath: "Okay."

Within the imperial palace of the Tianyuan Empire lies a peerless secret manual called the "Chaos Technique." It is said that cultivating this manual can break through the Heavenly Profound Realm and reach an even higher realm.

However, the palace was heavily guarded, making it extremely difficult to obtain the secret manual.

Furthermore, the Lingxiao Sword Sect has a treasured sword called the Lingxiao Sword. This sword possesses spirituality, is connected to the mind of the sect leader, and is extremely powerful.

Furthermore, the Murong family possesses a unique bloodline inheritance; those who possess this bloodline cultivate extremely quickly and are born with superhuman strength.

After listening, Yunming nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad."

To survive the Shadow Pavilion's pursuit, you must first stop staying in one place for too long and constantly change your hiding place.

Secondly, you should try to establish connections with powerful forces or experts to leverage their strength and intimidate the Shadow Pavilion.

Finally, you must improve your own strength as soon as possible. Only when you are strong can you truly protect yourself.

Rose frowned and asked, "It's easier said than done."

How do I get involved with powerful forces? And how can I quickly increase my strength?

Yunming smiled and said, "That depends on your skills."

For example, you can attend large gatherings of cultivators, where you can showcase your talents and potential and attract the attention of powerful individuals.

As for improving your strength, I have a pill here called the Gathering Yuan Pill. Taking it can raise your cultivation level by one small realm in a short period of time.

However, this pill is extremely precious. If I give you this one, you'll have to exchange it for three pieces of valuable information.

Rose hesitated. On the one hand, she urgently needed to improve her strength to deal with the threat from the Shadow Pavilion, and on the other hand, she was worried that Yunming was trying to trick her.

But in the end, the desire for power overcame his doubts: "Okay, I'll switch."

On the border between the Xuanfeng Empire and the Qingyang Empire, there is a mysterious valley. The valley is rich in spiritual energy and grows many rare spiritual herbs. It is said that there is also a strange flower called the Illusionary Spirit Flower, which can enhance spiritual power when consumed.

Furthermore, there is a sword formation relic hidden in the back mountain of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, which contains powerful sword formation power. If one can comprehend it, one's sword skills will greatly increase.

Furthermore, the Murong family possesses a secret treasure trove containing countless treasures and cultivation resources, but only core members of the Murong family know how to open it.

Yunming took out a pill that emitted a strange light and tossed it to Qiangwei: "Take this. Remember, when you take it, find a safe place and fully circulate your cultivation technique to absorb the medicinal power."

Rose took the pill, examined it carefully, and then put it away cautiously: "I hope this pill is really as miraculous as you say."

"After I take the elixir to increase my strength, how do I find the protection of a powerful force?"

Yunming walked on the water with his hands behind his back: "You can go to the Tianyuan Grand Gathering held by the Tianyuan Empire. It is a grand gathering that brings together powerful people and young talents from all sides."

If you can stand out at the grand event, powerful forces will naturally extend olive branches to you.

Moreover, at the grand event, you can meet many powerful figures, and perhaps even find like-minded individuals to jointly confront the threat of the Shadow Pavilion.

Rose's heart stirred: "When will this Tianyuan Grand Gathering be held?"

"A month later."

Yunming said, "Time is of the essence; you need to seize the time to improve your strength."

Rose bit her lip: "Okay, I'll go."

"How should I behave at the Tianyuan Grand Gathering to attract the attention of those powerful forces?"

A sly glint flashed in Yunming's eyes: "That depends on your strengths."

What are you good at? Martial arts, magical weapons, or something else?

Rose thought for a moment: "I am skilled in using poisons, and I am quite proficient in the refining and application of various poisons."

Yunming's eyes lit up: "That makes things easier."

During the Tianyuan Grand Gathering, there is a competition where you can cleverly use poison to showcase your unique abilities.

But remember, don't make it too obvious, so as not to offend others.

To attract the attention of powerful forces, you need to demonstrate both your strength and their curiosity about your methods of using poison.

Rose nodded: "I understand."

"What if I encounter people from the Shadow Pavilion on my way to the Heavenly Origin Gathering?"

Yunming sneered: "If you encounter them, avoid them if you can."

If you can't avoid it, then use the poison in your hand and fight to the death.

Aren't you skilled at using poison? In a critical moment, poison might just be your lifeline.

Moreover, now that you possess the Gathering Essence Pill, your strength will increase after consuming it, and you will not be entirely without a fighting chance.

Rose felt a little relieved: "Yes, thank you for your suggestion."

"Then I'd like to know, besides the competitions, what other important components are there in this Tianyuan Grand Gathering?"

Yunming said, "In addition to the competition, there will also be treasure auctions, cultivation technique exchanges, and other activities."

At the treasure auction, many rare treasures and martial arts manuals will appear. If you have enough money, you can bid on some things that are useful to you.

During the practice exchange session, you can share your experiences with other practitioners, and you might even gain some inspiration for a breakthrough.

Rose seemed to understand: "I see."

Then I need to find a way to prepare more money; maybe I can buy something useful at the auction.

Yunming suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you said before that you saw things like divination and fate prediction on the light screen. Did the light screen display any other important information?"

Rose frowned and recalled, "There were also some blurry images about other worlds, as if some powerful beings were traveling between different worlds, causing a lot of turmoil."

There were also some strange symbols and characters that I couldn't understand.

Yunming's heart stirred: "Do you still remember those symbols and characters? Try to describe them to me."

Rose tried hard to recall, gesturing in the air as she spoke: "Those symbols are winding and twisting, somewhat like some kind of ancient totem."

The characters are complex, giving them a mysterious appearance.

Yunming listened carefully, his brows furrowed, and he pondered to himself, "Could it be... ancient runes and celestial script? If so, then this world probably hides an even greater secret."

Seeing Yunming deep in thought, Qiangwei couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you know the meaning of those symbols and characters?"

Yunming came to his senses: "I was just guessing."

If what I think is true, then this world will face a huge crisis, not just the simple matter of you being hunted by the Shadow Pavilion.

Rose's expression changed drastically: "What crisis? Explain yourself!"

Yunming slowly said, "If those symbols and characters are indeed ancient runes and celestial script, then it means that this world has some kind of connection with other mysterious ancient worlds."

Those powerful beings who travel between different worlds might, for some reason, drag this world into a brutal struggle.

At that time, the whole world will be plunged into chaos, and countless lives will be lost.
