Two months had passed since the great battle, and despite Qin Hanchu having killed several Profound Gods, his own cultivation realm had not broken through.
Of course, his Profound Infant had grown stronger again.
According to Qin Hanchu's estimation, he would need to kill at least a thousand Profound Gods in the Divine Continent to reach a higher realm.
While Qin Hanchu was in seclusion, the Nine Great Ancient Clans had already stormed into the Sacred Hall Great World through the teleportation arrays.
The Sacred Hall Great World was already in ruins.
In just half a month, the Nine Great Ancient Clans had occupied dozens of cities.
Although the number of cities was not large, the resources they provided to the Nine Great Ancient Clans were immense.
With these resources, the Nine Great Ancient Clans could accelerate the growth of their clansmen.
Qin Hanchu ignored these developments. He first reported his safety to A Xiang and then proceeded to the Qin Clan.
The Qin Clan now allowed Qin Hanchu unrestricted access.
No one dared to provoke him.
Soon, Qin Hanchu met Princess Lise in the underground palace.
Princess Lise's eyes were filled with hatred, clearly indicating she knew Qin Hanchu had killed her kin.
"What? Have you come to gloat in front of me?"
"There's no need to be so hostile towards me. The battle between our worlds had no right or wrong. I owe you nothing."
Qin Hanchu's tone was calm as he faced Princess Lise's hateful gaze.
"What do you want?"
Qin Hanchu stopped in front of Princess Lise. "Answer one question for me, and I'll grant you a quick end."
"Heh... I thought you would say you'd spare me."
Qin Hanchu shook his head. "Even if I said that, would you believe me? It's better to be practical. You wouldn't want to become a plaything for others, would you?"
"A plaything for others? Not for you?"
"You wish."
"You..."
"Let's dispense with the pleasantries. Tell me how to obtain the World Heart of another world."
Qin Hanchu knew the current peace was temporary.
There were still many powerful individuals in the Sacred Hall Great World. If they counterattacked, the Nine Great Ancient Clans would not be able to resist.
Before that, Qin Hanchu needed to strengthen the Heavenly Dao power of the Divine Continent.
The stronger the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent, the greater the help it would provide to Qin Hanchu.
For this reason, Qin Hanchu planned to venture out to seek Heavenly Dao power and bolster the Divine Continent.
"I haven't even reached the Profound Realm. How can you be sure I would know this?" Princess Lise sneered.
"As a princess, you must have seen a lot of royal records. If you don't know, that's fine too. I'll still give you a quick end."
Princess Lise gave Qin Hanchu a deep look. After a moment, she finally spoke.
"Every world has a hidden Dragon Vein, and this Dragon Vein connects to the World Heart."
"As long as you can extract the Dragon Vein, you can find the World Heart."
"As for how to extract the Dragon Vein, that I do not know."
Qin Hanchu believed Princess Lise was not lying, so he directly fulfilled his promise.
Princess Lise was an enemy, and letting her live would bring endless trouble.
Granting her a quick end was the least he could do.
Leaving the Qin Clan, Qin Hanchu returned to the Blazing Heaven Great World.
His destination was the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion.
The Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion had influence across many great worlds, and through them, he should be able to learn about extracting World Hearts.
Led by a shop assistant, Qin Hanchu was brought to the second floor of the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion.
"Son of the Divine Continent!"
Upon seeing Qin Hanchu, an old man on the second floor smiled and spoke.
"You know me?"
Qin Hanchu was incredulous. How could the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion know his identity?
Logically, very few people should know about this.
"The Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion knows matters of all realms. As a chosen one, you are naturally on our intelligence list."
Hearing this, Qin Hanchu felt the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion was terrifying!
If they knew such a secret, what else didn't they know?
"Then, esteemed sir, do you know why I have come?"
The old man chuckled. "You have come seeking the Dragon Seeking Art!"
"Impressive!"
"With the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion's power, you must be a giant entity even in the Dominator Worlds."
The old man smiled. "To be frank, the Dragon Seeking Art is extremely precious, and your current wealth cannot afford it."
"What is the price?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"I won't mention the price, but I can give you an opportunity."
"If you agree to help us, the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion, with one task, this Dragon Seeking Art will be gifted to you."
Qin Hanchu remained silent for a moment before replying, "The Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion is so powerful, yet you still require my help?"
"Although the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion is powerful, there are places we cannot go."
"If you can help us retrieve a piece of Thunder God Wood, the Dragon Seeking Art will surely be yours."
"Furthermore, this journey will bring you many benefits."
Qin Hanchu's brows furrowed. This journey was certainly not simple.
"Besides you, we have also sought out several other chosen ones."
"You can choose to travel together or go alone."
"I can guarantee that the place you are going only has enemies at the Profound Realm."
"With your status as chosen ones, your chances of victory are very high."
"Apart from the Thunder God Wood, any heavenly materials and earthly treasures you find will belong to you."
"There, you will also find Primordial Body Martial Skills as powerful as the Primordial Manifestation."
The old man's words continued to shock Qin Hanchu.
It was worthy of the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion to find multiple chosen ones.
The fact that this Thunder God Wood required such great effort from the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion indicated its immense power.
Seeing Qin Hanchu's silence, the old man handed him a colorful token.
"If you are willing to go, you can imprint your spiritual consciousness on it. It will then teleport you there and bring you back."
"You will have only three months. After three months, this token will dissipate on its own."
"Oh, and this is the Thunder God Wood."
"Take a good look."
As he handed the token to Qin Hanchu, an image appeared before him.
The image showed a piece of purple wood, about the length of an arm, with terrifying purple lightning surging and colliding upon it.
Taking the token, Qin Hanchu asked, "Where will this token take us?"
"The Immortal Slaying Realm, the cave abode of a powerful individual."
"You are not yet qualified to know more. Perhaps when you become stronger, you will hear this legend."
"Go back and consider it carefully. Don't forget the three-month time limit."
"Also, you can bring the Thunder God Wood back together."
With that, the old man before Qin Hanchu vanished.
The person who was just before Qin Hanchu was not a real body, but merely a projection?
Qin Hanchu, a Profound God, had not sensed it at all?
Clearly, this old man was a powerhouse who had surpassed the Profound God realm.
As for what level existed beyond the Profound God realm, Qin Hanchu was not aware.
Leaving the city, Qin Hanchu returned to the ruined underground palace via the teleportation array.
Upon meeting A Xiang, he recounted the entire incident in detail.
