Fang Heng pushed the door open.
The interior of the temple was relatively empty. Sacrificial items that should have been placed on the altar were scattered on the ground, indicating that outsiders had searched the place before.
Still, he couldn't sense any aura related to the Origin Orb.
Fang Heng walked into the hall and looked up at a stone statue in the center of the Great Hall.
It was the royal family of the Void Clan.
The sa family that had united the entire Void Realm under its leadership.
The Source of the Void was located in the underground chamber of the Elders Council.
Quite convenient.
The books given to him by Elder Brutus contained the building blueprints of the Holy Capital palace and instructions on entering the domain of the Source of the Void.
Fang Heng compared these with the map engraved in his sea of consciousness and moved forward through the front hall, passing a long pathway, eventually entering the rear hall of the Elders Council.
He found it!
Fang Heng looked up at the magic array diagram engraved on a wall in the side hall and felt a stir in his mind.
Soone had been here!
Over ti, the magic array diagram had suffered considerable damage, but the damaged parts had been repaired.
Fang Heng could tell that the repairs had been completed not long ago.
It seed the person also knew the key to activating the magic array passage.
Fang Heng stepped forward and tried to touch the alchemy diagram.
It was an alchemy lock.
Unless triggered according to the corresponding patterns, the alchemy lock could never be activated.
If forcibly destroyed, it would likely cause ripple waves throughout the sealed space, and the entrance to the Source of the Void domain could completely vanish.
Moreover, the Void Clan, being experts in Origin Power, had specially designed the alchemy lock so that even using Origin Power to dissolve it would be impossible.
Fang Heng quietly felt relieved.
Luckily, he had obtained Elder Brutus's notes on the Void Clan beforehand; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to handle the alchemy lock.
Yet sothing was strange. Even for him, repairing an alchemy lock at this level was extrely difficult. How had those two Evil Gods managed it?
He set that aside for the mont.
He would go down and see.
Fang Heng stopped thinking further and focused his mind to begin unlocking it.
The alchemy lock released a faint glow.
"Little brother, it seems you understand this alchemy lock too."
"What person!"
Fang Heng suddenly heard a voice behind him. His heart leapt. He stopped unlocking the alchemy lock, spun around, stepped back, and kept a cautious distance from the newcor.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man had a round face with a simple, kind smile. He waved his hands in front of him and said, "Ah, sorry for scaring you. No harm, I an no offense."
Fang Heng stared at him.
The man had not emitted a single ripple of aura the entire ti and had approached silently from behind.
If he hadn't spoken and had chosen to attack...
It was certain that he was strong.
"I t two people before. Are you their friend? They ca about three days ago and had help repair the alchemy lock so they could open the passage below."
The man scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile. "But they didn't seem to trust much. After opening the passage, they went down themselves and closed the entrance."
"That's understandable. When traveling, it's wise not to fully trust strangers."
Fang Heng listened as the man chattered, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
This man had likely encountered the God of Eternal Silence and the God of Final Filth.
No wonder.
He must have been the one who repaired the alchemy lock.
Fang Heng asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, haha, sorry, forgot to introduce myself," Wei Qian said amicably, extending his hand. "Hello, I'm Wei Qian."
Fang Heng remained wary, staring at him. "You're human too?"
"Uh... no."
Seeing that Fang Heng didn't shake his hand, Wei Qian awkwardly withdrew it and rubbed the back of his head. "I'm from the Mind Tribe. My human form is just one manifestation of my consciousness. I read that humans tend to interact more with those of the sa kind or similar appearance."
"Why are you here? The Void Realm has been abandoned for a long ti, right? When did you arrive?"
"Oh, I just ca over half a month ago. I ca here to train. You know the Martial Apex Tournant in the dinsional world? It's impressive. Your strength seems good; I recomnd you participate too."
Wei Qian looked at Fang Heng sincerely. "Participating in the Martial Apex Tournant really helps improve one's strength."
Fang Heng grew increasingly suspicious of Wei Qian.
"You're also a participant in the Martial Apex Tournant?"
"You are too?"
Wei Qian noticed Fang Heng's expression and took a token from his pocket, showing it to him.
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the token.
Seventh place.
This guy was not simple.
They likely weren't from the sa dinsional world, so he didn't recognize Wei Qian.
Fang Heng nodded slightly and asked, "What can be trained here?"
"The Void Realm is the origin of Origin Power. Unfortunately, with the fall of the Void Clan, the Origin Power here has gradually dissipated and is nearly completely broken."
Wei Qian sighed, feeling a little regretful. "I ca here partly to test my luck, see if I could find any clues. I didn't expect to encounter two people here and then see you. By the way, it seems you know how to unlock the Void Clan's alchemy lock?"
Fang Heng's frown deepened.
Wei Qian gave off a very strange impression; his honesty even seed a little naive.
Not to ntion, with Wei Qian's abilities, he had already managed to approach silently beside him. Taking care of the two weak Evil Gods would be no problem.
Wei Qian could have even chosen to stay hidden and follow Fang Heng into the Source of the Void after he unlocked the alchemy lock—or launched a sudden attack.
Yet he didn't. He openly warned him.
Fang Heng thought for a mont and said, "Not bad. There's still a branch of the Void Clan outside the universe. I was commissioned by them to co here, and they had already taught the solution for the alchemy lock."
"Great! Can you take down to see it?"
Fang Heng didn't answer, only asked, "How far have you cultivated your Origin Power?"
"I feel there's still quite a distance to 'Breaking Limit,'" Wei Qian said, smiling a little awkwardly. "To be honest, I've been stuck at this stage for many years and haven't been able to find a way to break through. If I could find the Source of the Void and observe up close its flow and structure, perhaps I could gain so inspiration."
"Oh? You also know the Source of the Void? So you've been to the Void Realm several tis before? Didn't notice any anomalies here before?"
