The atmosphere on site had grown somewhat delicate.
If this Young Elder Zhen turned out to be connected to the mastermind behind the scenes, she was finished. The entire plan would be finished. But fortunately, even if this plan fell apart, the Divine Kings who were orchestrating everything behind the curtain would not be exposed. In that case, even if she, Han Shuang, met with misfortune, she wouldn't drag anyone else down.
As long as she, Han Shuang, was taken out of the picture, the plan would be terminated immediately.
After a long pause,
Hearing this, Han Shuang's face lit up with joy: "Young Elder Zhen, you're not lying to me?"
Jiang Chen said solemnly: "I told you — just like you, I also hope that the Grand Taiyuan World will have a powerful Celestial Emperor. As you've described, the Taiyuan Celestial Emperor is indeed the most suitable candidate."
"Isn't he? I've long said that seven or eight out of ten people think the same way. It's just that in this kind of atmosphere, very few have the courage to step forward."
Jiang Chen nodded: "Sect Master, then is this origin located within the Crimson Water Heavenly Pool's forbidden area?"
"That's right. At the bottom of the Crimson Water Heavenly Pool, there is a volcano buried beneath it. Inside the volcano, there is a Spirit Vein — one of the five Origin Spirit Veins — that connects directly to the Myriad Ages Divine Prison. Actually, it's not necessary to destroy all five Spirit Veins. As long as three or more are destroyed, the structure of the Myriad Ages Divine Prison will be more than half compromised. If all five Spirit Veins are destroyed, His Majesty the Taiyuan Celestial Emperor could simply walk out as easily as taking a stroll."
"Mm, that makes sense. Destroying one Spirit Vein would affect the Divine Prison. Two would strike at its foundation. Three would destroy its structure. Four would destroy at least eighty percent. If all five are destroyed, the Divine Prison would collapse completely, utterly falling apart."
"I didn't expect you to know so much?" Han Shuang's face showed delight.
"Sect Master, do you have the means to enter that volcano?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Of course. This matter — the Divine Kings behind the scenes have been planning it for at least tens of thousands of years. They have been selecting candidates, evaluating personnel, setting up the plan. And I, over the past ten thousand years, have been the one selected — the most suitable person to go to the Crimson Water Heavenly Pool!" Han Shuang's face carried a trace of pride.
It was clear that she was very proud and honored by her mission.
"With Divine Kings pulling the strings from behind, this matter is fairly reliable. I imagine you also possess a Divine King-level magical treasure bestowed upon you by the Divine Kings — destroying a Spirit Vein shouldn't be much of a problem."
"But infiltrating the volcano from within the Crimson Water Heavenly Pool won't be so easy either."
"Hmph, all of that has been factored into our calculations — you needn't worry about it. The only difficulty now is how to enter the Crimson Water Heavenly Pool's forbidden area without being detected. As you know, the Crimson Water Divine King's Manor maintains extremely tight defenses over this forbidden area. I have virtually no way to sneak in."
This was Han Shuang's most vexing problem at the moment.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "I told you long ago that I could help you. What's a difficult problem for you is no difficulty at all for me."
"Oh?" Han Shuang's beautiful eyes shifted, showing a questioning look.
Jiang Chen didn't rush to answer. Instead he asked: "Sect Master, when are you planning to go in?"
