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

Chapter 115 Shocking Secret

"What?!"

The mountain dweller, who had been wearing a warm smile, was struck dumb in an instant. His smile froze, replaced by utter shock.

Suddenly, his relaxed and comfortable body straightened up, and he stood up with a "whoosh," as if he had been launched into the air by an invisible force.

His expression, which had been as gentle as the warm spring sun, was now obscured by dark clouds and instantly enveloped by intense killing intent. His eyes seemed to transform into tangible blades, chilling people to the bone.

Having his most important secret, hidden for many years, exposed by the Celestial Ancestor, the Mountain Dweller's instinctive reaction was to completely eliminate the person in front of him to prevent future troubles.

The instant this thought arose, his body even leaned slightly forward, as if he were about to pounce and deliver a fatal blow.

However, just a moment later, he forcibly suppressed the impulse, and his thoughts raced like lightning.

He instantly realized that what was standing there was merely a clone of his divine power, utterly powerless in combat, like a beast that had lost its claws and teeth.

Moreover, this is the home ground of the Celestial Eclipse Ancestor. Even if his true form were here in person, he would probably find it difficult to contend with the Celestial Eclipse Ancestor.

After all, the Mountain-Sitting Guest was once a god-king level being. His mental fortitude and quick thinking far surpassed that of ordinary people. In that split second, he understood the key advantages and disadvantages.

He knew that getting angry at this moment would only expose his loss of composure and would not help at all.

Thus, the murderous intent that had been raging across his face like a surging wave was as if gently wiped away by an invisible hand, and the expression of the Mountain Guest quickly returned to calm. However, the slightly trembling fingers still revealed the turmoil deep within his heart that had not yet completely subsided.

"Ancestor of Heavenly Eclipse, how did you know my true identity? And how were you able to reveal my identity under the close surveillance of the primordial universe's original consciousness?" The voice of the Mountain-Sitting Guest sounded relatively calm, but the slight fluctuations in his tone betrayed the fact that his heart was still as turbulent as a stormy sea.

His mind was filled with doubts, and he urgently needed an answer from the Celestial Ancestor.

……

Li Yang had anticipated the reaction of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, so he remained calm and waited patiently for the Mountain-Sitting Guest to regain his composure.

Once the mountain dweller's expression had calmed down, Li Yang slowly replied, "Mountain dweller, I know you are extremely anxious right now, but please don't rush."

As he spoke, Li Yang slowly reached out, picked up his wine glass, and took a small sip, his movements elegant and composed. He then continued, "As you can see, my Star Universe is a unique treasure in this cosmic sea. Here, the perception of the primordial universe can be completely blocked. Not only can I call out your name, the God King of Jin, but I can also speak freely about the cycle of reincarnation and all information about the Origin Continent without any interference."

A confident expression of complete control appeared on Li Yang's face, a stark contrast to the still somewhat shocked look on the face of the Mountain Guest.

"There's actually such a powerful treasure!" The Mountain-Sitting Guest couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with undisguised amazement.

"I know that you, as the former God-King of Jin, have extremely profound attainments in refining supreme treasures. In your opinion, what level of supreme treasure should my Star Universe be?" Li Yang asked with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

At this point in the conversation, Li Yang, having more information, was firmly in control of the situation.

The mountain dweller narrowed his eyes slightly, extending his senses to carefully perceive his surroundings, as if trying to unravel the mysteries of this cosmic universe.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head, a look of confusion on his face: "I have never seen such a powerful treasure that can shield the perception of the original consciousness of the primordial universe. It seems that the level of such a treasure has already exceeded the scope of the God-King level treasure."

Li Yang nodded slightly, a look of approval on his face: "Not bad."

Immediately afterwards, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his smile widened: "God King of Jin, I not only know your identity, but I also know your purpose in coming to this cosmic sea."

Sensing that Li Yang meant no harm, the Mountain Hermit regained his composure completely. He smiled, but his eyes held a hint of inquiry: "Why don't you tell me?"

"The information I received from the Origin Continent tells me that the Jin Kingdom of the God King of Jin was destroyed by the three rulers of the Food Kingdom. If I'm not mistaken, you've taken a huge risk to come to this Cosmic Sea to find a suitable helper to avenge yourself! Am I right?" Although Li Yang's tone was questioning, his confident demeanor clearly indicated that he was certain of what he was saying.

Seeing the Eclipse Ancestor's confident demeanor, the former God King of Jin, now the Mountain-Sitting Guest, could hardly deny his words.

Li Yang continued, "You are well aware of how difficult it is to find a powerful figure in this cosmic sea who can help you fight against the Food Kingdom. How long do you plan to spend? One cycle of reincarnation? Ten cycles of reincarnation? Or a hundred cycles of reincarnation? And if I'm not mistaken, you can only stay in this cosmic sea for three cycles of reincarnation, right?"

Hearing Li Yang's words, Zuo Shan Ke fell into deep silence. His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered with a complex light, as if he was thinking about a solution or weighing the pros and cons of Li Yang's words.

After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly: "Ancestor of Heavenly Eclipse, since you know so much about my affairs, what is the meaning of telling me all this today?"

Li Yang put down his wine glass and crossed his arms over his chest: "Mountain Dweller, I mean no harm. I just want to say that perhaps we can cooperate. You want revenge, while my goal is to develop my human race into a stronger force, until we dominate the Cosmic Sea and even the Origin Continent! In this vast Cosmic Sea, we are too insignificant on our own. Only by joining hands can we possibly achieve our goals."

The man sitting on the mountain chuckled coldly: "Cooperation? What makes you think I'll trust you? And what can you offer me?"

Li Yang slowly stood up, his composed figure standing out in the quiet space.

The latest novel is first published here!

He walked leisurely to the table, and in the void, the magnificent and mysterious starry universe came into view, as if an endless scroll was slowly unfolding before him.

The stars twinkled, their light intertwined, as if telling the endless mysteries of the universe's depths.

Li Yang raised his head slightly, gazing intently at the vast expanse, then turned to face the Mountain Guest, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power: "I can provide you with tremendous assistance; it is no exaggeration to say that I may be the most powerful ally you can find in this vast universe."

"Not only that, I can also provide you with some precious resources that even someone as knowledgeable as you, who was once a God-King, did not know about, and may even help you advance further in the God-King realm."

"And the reward I expect is simply that, in the long span of these three cycles of reincarnation, you use your wisdom and strength to cultivate more outstanding and powerful individuals for my human race."

After he finished speaking, a spherical object emitting a strange light quietly appeared in Li Yang's previously empty hand.

It was like a pearl that condensed the essence of the universe, quietly floating in Li Yang's palm. Although its light was not dazzling, it had a profound and mysterious quality that could not be ignored.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest, a powerful figure who once stood on the throne of a god-king and looked down upon countless worlds, possessed a vision and experience that were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Throughout his long life, he has seen countless rare treasures and witnessed various amazing cosmic wonders.

However, at this moment, the small ball in Li Yang's hand was like a thunderbolt, exploding in his heart and stirring up a storm in his originally calm state of mind.
