The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 103 Team Formation and Planning

"Follow me, everyone. Once the secret realm opens, the entrance will be the Radiant Plains of the Radiant Continent." The immortal god's booming voice resonated in everyone's ears.

"The climate of the Radiant Plains is pleasant, like the warm sunshine of spring all year round, peaceful and soothing, with a relatively low danger level, which can help you gradually adapt and increase your survival rate!"

"The Plains of Light? That's an interesting name." A young adventurer's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"I heard it's a good place for newbies to save their lives, the risk is low!" a slightly more experienced strongman chimed in.

"Everyone starts there the first time they come in; other places are definitely dangerous places!" another person chimed in, his words carrying a hint of awe at the unknown dangers.

Li Er pondered silently to himself: "The Guangyuan Plains, I've heard, have a 9% chance of encountering a fatal crisis here, but in this unpredictable Guanghui Continent, it's still a rare haven. Hmm, I'll arrange to stay here since I'm new here, and see how it goes."

"You may depart now!" The immortal god's urging voice broke the brief exchange among the group.

In an instant, thousands of powerful figures surged forward like a tide, with Li Er and the other world lord-level experts at the forefront of the procession.

Before long, a magnificent and dazzling wormhole appeared before us.

"This is the gateway to the Radiant Plains."

The immortal deity walked to the wormhole and solemnly declared, "The Radiant Continent is vast and boundless, with a territory spanning ten thousand square light-years. Powerful beings gather there, as numerous as the stars, but many naturally occurring dangers lurk in every corner. One must be extremely careful."

This wormhole resembled the throat of a giant beast, yet it was wide enough to allow even a majestic world lord-level star behemoth like Li Er to easily traverse it.

With a soft sound, the realm lords filed in, and Li Er also stepped steadily into the mysterious passage. In an instant, thousands of powerful figures disappeared into the dim light of the wormhole.

……

Passing through the wormhole was like being teleported in an instant; the group found themselves above the Radiant Continent.

Bound by the powerful gravity of the continent, even world lord-level powerhouses find it difficult to soar freely.

The group quickly swooped down through the passage after passing through the wormhole towards the forward base below.

Li Er glanced down and saw the vast, boundless Guanghui Plain unfolding beneath his feet like a magnificent scroll, with endless greenery undulating like waves.

Upon closer inspection, they were astonished to discover that the so-called "grass" was actually nearly a hundred meters tall, which was no different from a towering tree to ordinary human strongmen.

To Li Er's true form, the Purple Pupa Giant Beast, it was nothing more than ordinary weeds.

"This grass is nothing to me, but it's like a towering tree to those powerful humans," Li Er thought to himself with amusement.

At this moment, Zhenyan and Zhenche of the ape-man clan flew to Li Er's side as if they were shadows.

Zhen Yan spoke first, his voice full of enthusiasm: "Hey, let's team up, the three of us!"

"We are all at the peak of the Realm Lord level. If we join forces, we can deal with enemies with ease and support each other," Zhen Che added quietly from the side.

Zhen Yan continued, "Look at the realm lords around us, most of them are quite ordinary. Only if we join forces can we hope to gain something in this secret realm."

Li Er pondered for a moment: "I need to think about forming a team."

Zhen Yan persisted, "Brother, don't hesitate. Opportunities for such a powerful alliance are rare."

A moment later, the three arrived at Hongmeng's forward base in this area, following the passage.

Li Er, Zhen Yan, and Zhen Che sat around a long stone table.

Clearly, they couldn't resist Zhen Yan's enthusiasm, and their combined strength was indeed unmatched among the crowd.

Li Er ultimately chose to form a team with the two of them.

……

Sitting around the long stone table, Zhenyan couldn't wait to take out a huge map and spread it out on the table with a "whoosh".

"This is the complete map of the secret realm of the Radiant Continent. We are currently located here." Zhen Yan lightly tapped a small red dot near the center of the map, slightly to the north.

"Map?" Li Er looked up.

Zhen Yan smiled and explained, "Brother Laozi, you may not know this, but there are some mysterious areas in this secret realm that are completely inaccessible in the virtual universe. At that time, this physical map will be our guiding light."

"I see," Li Er said thoughtfully.

"Next, our target is here—the renowned Mountain and Sea Peak Interstellar Waterfall on the Radiant Continent!" Zhen Yan pressed his finger heavily on the marker on the map.

Li Er nodded in agreement: "Why choose this place?"

Zhen Yan leaned forward excitedly: "We came to this secret realm of the Radiant Continent seeking only that rare genetic material. This treasure is a cosmic marvel, its value immeasurable. Even obtaining just a tiny bit would make us incredibly wealthy."

The latest novel is first published here!

Zhen Che chimed in, "That's right, this thing is indeed very valuable! It's just that immortal powerhouses aren't allowed to enter this place, otherwise we realm lords wouldn't have a chance to do anything here."

Zhen Yan continued, "Think about it, those easily accessible places have long been plundered by our predecessors. But this Mountain and Sea Peak Interstellar Waterfall is fraught with danger due to the violent erosion of interstellar energy over the years, and ordinary people avoid it like the plague. Precisely because of this, it is very likely to hide precious genetic material, just as the saying goes, 'Fortune favors the bold.'"

"To be honest, based on your walking rhythm and the way you speak, Zhen Che and I deduced that you must be a powerful human who has possessed the Purple Cocoon Beast." Zhen Yan stared intently at Li Er.

Li Er was startled, but remained calm: "You two certainly have good eyesight."

Zhen Yan laughed loudly: "So, we have the same goal—we're all here for that precious genetic material. In that case, why don't we join hands and split the spoils equally among the three of us?"

After a moment's thought, Li Er nodded: "This distribution is fair."

"Now that the distribution of the treasures has been agreed upon, I will explain the plans for this trip." Zhen Yan sat up straight, his expression becoming serious.

"According to the predecessors who have ventured into the secret realm over the years, there are no more treasures to be found in safe places. We have been pondering this over and over again. This Mountain and Sea Peak Interstellar Waterfall is the third largest interstellar waterfall on the Radiant Continent. It is overlooked by everyone because of its danger. However, the more dangerous the place, the more opportunities it often holds. The interstellar energy there is surging and turbulent. Perhaps it is the place where rare genetic material is hidden."

"Therefore, this is our primary destination on this trip."

"If we unfortunately return empty-handed, then we will have no choice but to take a risky approach and explore the lairs of the local celestial beasts to steal their treasures. Although it is fraught with danger, it is the only way to have a chance of obtaining the treasures." Zhen Yan's gaze was firm, and his words revealed a do-or-die determination.

Li Er frowned slightly: "Exploring the lair of a giant beast is extremely risky and requires utmost caution and careful planning in advance."

Zhen Yan waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry, Laozi. The three of us are all at the peak of the Realm Lord level, with outstanding strength. As long as we cooperate well, we will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."

Zhen Che chimed in, encouragingly, "Yes, opportunity and risk go hand in hand. If you want to acquire a priceless treasure, how can you not take some risks?"

Li Er shook his head helplessly: "Since the decision has been made, then proceed according to the plan. However, we must not act rashly along the way and must be adaptable to changing circumstances."

Zhen Yan patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Lao Tzu. With me, Zhen Yan, here, I will definitely not let everyone fall into a desperate situation."

The three of them then stood up.
