Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

370: Finding a needle in a haystackThe place where the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden brought Chen Tianming was surrounded by a blank void, filled only with thick mist, giving it a somewhat fairyland-like feeling, though it was far too white.

The mist here drifted in from afar; unlike the mist on Earth, it had been specially treated.

”Let’s go in. There are many good things inside,” the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden said with a smile.

”What kind of good things? Surely not the good things from your fairyland, right?” Chen Tianming felt a bit strange, his words even carrying a hint of teasing.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden didn’t speak, flying straight ahead, and Chen Tianming hurriedly followed.

When Chen Tianming caught up, he felt as if he had passed through some kind of barrier, suddenly arriving in a vast, open space.

Numerous mountain peaks stood tall, and the trees in the forests were very lush, their branches and leaves swaying constantly.

The air was filled with various spiritual herbs, spiritual flowers, and spiritual fruits, along with many rare minerals.

”These really are good things!”

Chen Tianming was somewhat envious of these items now, but having just obtained a large batch of good items from the microscopic world, he wasn’t all that greedy.

Of course, part of the reason was that this place mostly belonged to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and if he showed any signs of covetousness, it would ruin the good impression he had made.

He knew the difference between being full for one meal and being full for every meal.

Afterward, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden led the way, and along the journey, Chen Tianming kept looking around.

A small river flowed here, its water clear enough to reveal the rocks and stones beneath, looking a bit like the stone-paved streets of an ancient city.

By the riverbank, there were lush, verdant trees, some Lingzhi, spiritual herbs, and quite a few rare birds and strange beasts.

As they walked, the two arrived at a pavilion.

The pavilion was built of stone, but it contained many meditation cushions, as well as tables, chairs, and tea sets; it was likely where the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden usually lived.

”You should be able to guess what this place is, so I won’t say anything superfluous. I want to ask you, did you discover anything in that microscopic world?”

Having thought about it afterward, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden felt something was wrong.

Besides the strange words that person had spoken at the time, there was also the technique the other party used to escape.

It didn’t produce any spiritual energy fluctuations, yet from the position where the other party left, he hadn’t been able to obtain any useful information.

That person seemed to have vanished into thin air, yet there were no spiritual energy fluctuations, which naturally made one suspicious.

If she didn’t get to the bottom of this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly.

Especially from the conversation with that person, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden could feel that the other party knew a lot of things!

”The resources there seemed to be more abundant than in other microscopic worlds, but I’m not sure if that was just my illusion.”

Previously, Chen Tianming had indeed felt it was strange, but since the items were already in his hands, he hadn’t bothered to care. Now that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden mentioned it, he felt a bit panicked inside.

”In a normal microscopic world, the items there are specific; it’s hard for there to be too many or too few.”

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, having been to many microscopic worlds, had quite a lot of authority on this subject.

”So, does the Mysterious Maiden mean that the resources in that place far exceeded its own capacity?”

”It’s not just that it exceeded its own quota; what I’m more curious about is the person hidden there!”

Fearing there might be any fish that escaped the net, Chen Tianming had confirmed it no less than several times before leaving, and there were no living people.

Now that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden said this, it confirmed that there were indeed living people there.

But how could he not have noticed? Could it be that their cultivation was above his?

”What I want you to do now is to find that person. There is some information I want to know from their mouth.”

”...”

Chen Tianming never expected that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden would want him to do something like this. It wasn’t that the task was difficult, but rather that it was fundamentally impossible for him.

It was about finding someone he had never even met and knew nothing about; this was even more exaggerated than looking for a needle in a haystack.

”Lord Mysterious Maiden, I know that my abilities are considered quite good in your eyes, but I have never even met this person...”

Before Chen Tianming could finish his words of refusal, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden’s cold expression changed. ”That person’s strength won’t be much greater than yours. Furthermore, do you think you aren’t included in their goals?”

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden’s voice was extremely cold, devoid of any emotion.

Chen Tianming silently met the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden’s gaze. He wasn’t someone who was easily scared, and he certainly wouldn’t lose his wits just because of such cold words from the other party.

If this person’s strength wasn’t superior to his, why would the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden say that?

Thinking of this, Chen Tianming nodded to indicate he understood.

”You must be careful; that place is not simple,” the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden said.

Chen Tianming nodded: ”I understand.”

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden raised her hand, and a water mirror appeared before them, with the man’s face appearing in it.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, with a pair of peach-blossom eyes, deep and handsome features, giving people a very effeminate feeling.

”Is it this person?” Chen Tianming asked calmly.

”Correct,” the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden said. ”Chen Tianming, listen well: this person is accustomed to using flowery words; you must not be deceived.”

Chen Tianming smiled: ”Rest assured, I know what to do.”

As soon as Chen Tianming finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he left immediately.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden stroked the Cyan Jade Divine Beast in her arms. ”I know you are worried about this human, but rest assured, he will be fine.”

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden couldn’t explain where this confidence came from, but she could feel that Chen Tianming’s strength was not weak.

However, although Jiyuan Xuance had understood, it was still very worried about Chen Tianming.

It howled for a long time but didn’t manage to say anything.

The events happened too quickly and too urgently, leaving little time for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden to think, and that person’s mysterious words also made her feel a complex mix of emotions.

”You cannot follow him; there are still things for you to do in this Heavenly Realm. If you go, are these things supposed to be left for me to do!”

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden stroked the Cyan Jade Divine Beast’s fur, muttering to herself.

Her eyes were filled with a touch of melancholy, and more so, helplessness regarding other matters.

That person’s appearance was undoubtedly a signal, but she had no way to free herself to investigate personally, and instead had to rely on someone else’s hand.

”Sigh!” With a heavy sigh, there wasn’t much time left for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

She had to complete those tasks as soon as possible, and she couldn’t rest here for long.

Under the guidance of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, Chen Tianming flew in a certain direction.

On the way, Chen Tianming kept observing his surroundings.

The scenery Chen Tianming saw along the way was no different from when he usually came here.
