At the mont the mask was put on, Li Cunren’s aura disappeared.
He seed like a corpse with no signs of life.
Closing one’s eyes, it was impossible to sense his presence.
This mask was indeed peculiar.
Super Sense activated again.
This ti, by focusing his spiritual power to the extre, he finally made a discovery.
Inside the mask was a strange power. The reason it wasn’t noticed before was that this power had the ability to be overlooked and draw attention away.
Upon touching it, attention was diverted elsewhere, making it unable to be seen or sensed.
Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but think of the power of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree, also strange and beyond imagination.
He looked up at Lan Mingxuan, "Mr. Lan, where did this mask co from?"
"Prince Consort, can you discern its mystery?" Lan Mingxuan smiled.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "It contains a strange power, and I’m very curious about its origin."
"This is the Void Pavilion Mask, created in the Void, a treasure passed down from Ancient Tis."
"Void Pavilion Mask..." Chu Zhiyuan thought for a mont and shook his head.
In his mory, there was no such na, nothing he had seen or heard of concerning this treasure.
Lan Mingxuan said, "As for its power source, we haven’t figured that out."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Its power should replenish itself, right?"
If it couldn’t replenish itself, such an ancient object would have long since lost its effectiveness.
Wu Xun said, "It can replenish power from the Void."
"Interesting..." Chu Zhiyuan observed it closely.
"Just by looking, you won’t see the mystery," Wu Xun laughed, "Otherwise, we would have figured it out earlier. These ancient treasures are known for their existence but not their essence."
Chu Zhiyuan contemplated deeply, pushing Super Sense to its limits, probing deeper and deeper.
It was as if breaking through layer after layer of barriers, searching for the source of its power.
Why can it draw the strange power of the Void, and what is its operational core?
Layer by layer, he finally saw its core, a strange flower.
At first glance, it seed like a flower, but upon closer inspection, many smaller flowers composed this larger flower.
Looking even closer, smaller and smaller flowers ford those small flowers.
Layer upon layer, as Super Sense went deeper, he saw five layers.
The deeper he looked, the smaller the flowers beca.
He couldn’t determine if he had seen the very bottom layer, if he had found the root.
"Did you see anything?" Lan Mingxuan asked.
Wu Xun laughed, "That’s impossible. It’s not sothing insight alone can clarify."
Chu Zhiyuan studied the Void Pavilion Mask, saying slowly, "Could you give one of these masks?"
"This..." Both of them showed a difficult expression.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "There aren’t just these two, right?"
"There’s one more," Wu Xun said, "But it’s indeed a rare treasure."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Besides concealing one’s aura, what else can it do?"
"It’s an ancient object..." Wu Xun said with difficulty.
Chu Zhiyuan looked disappointed, "Then forget it."
"We need to report to the Palace Master," Lan Mingxuan said, "We’ll ask the Palace Master."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
As he was about to put on the mask, suddenly a sharp voice called out, "Hold on."
Chu Zhiyuan paused and turned to look.
A middle-aged man in a blue robe floated over.
His features were square and solid, his expression firm, with an aura of righteousness between his brows.
"Elder Fang," Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun cupped their hands.
Chu Zhiyuan cupped his hands in salute but said no more, reaching to take off Li Cunren’s mask.
The mask seed to be fused with Li Cunren’s skin, and he couldn’t remove it.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and looked at Lan Mingxuan.
Lan Mingxuan was looking at the man in the blue robe, "What’s your instruction, Elder Fang?"
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Wu Xun and found Wu Xun staring solemnly at the elder in blue.
Chu Zhiyuan’s mind raced, and suddenly, he gently tapped Li Cunren on the back.
A vast power surged into Li Cunren’s body, activating Li Cunren’s Protective True Qi.
As the Eldest Prince, he naturally wore Treasure Clothes for protection, and a green light shield appeared imdiately.
Chu Zhiyuan took the opportunity to try to remove the Void Pavilion Mask.
This ti, he still couldn’t get the Void Pavilion Mask off.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and had to inject a trace of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree’s aura into the mask.
The Void Pavilion Mask easily detached from Li Cunren’s face.
Li Cunren’s eyes then slowly opened.
He turned his head and looked around, "Have we entered?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, "Big brother, we haven’t gone in yet."
He looked at the man in the blue robe, "What is Elder Fang’s instruction?"
He insisted on waking Li Cunren up, feeling sothing was amiss.
The arrival of Elder Fang likely ant things would go awry, and only Li Cunren could counter it.
As the Thirteenth Prince Consort, he appeared too weak now, lacking deterrent power.
Li Cunren looked at the man in the blue robe, smiling, "Elder Fang, why are you here?"
"Your Highness," Fang Yubai cupped his fist, "I ca to stop a mistake in the palace."
"What mistake?" Li Cunren asked.
Fang Yubai said, "The Divine Treasure is at risk of being leaked to outsiders."
"My brother-in-law is not an outsider," Li Cunren smiled, "He’s one of our own."
Fang Yubai said sternly, "Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince Consort is Prince Yujing, the Ninth Prince of Yujing!"
Li Cunren waved his hand, "Since he’s my sister’s Prince Consort, he’s part of our Phoenix Dynasty, not an outsider."
"Your Highness, you are muddle-headed!" Fang Yubai scolded.
Li Cunren said, "Our Phoenix Dynasty will surely unite the world. By then, there will be no Prince Yujing, only the Thirteenth Prince Consort of Phoenix. Besides, my sister will be the top martial artist in the world. Can’t you trust her Prince Consort?"
"That’s in the future, who knows how many years from now!" Fang Yubai said, "But now, he is still the Ninth Prince of Yujing. He absolutely cannot enter our palace’s Divine Treasure!"
"... Elder Fang, the Palace Master has already agreed." Li Cunren said helplessly.
"I have reported to the Palace Master. The Palace Master is still considering," Fang Yubai said solemnly, "More elders will present the pros and cons to the Palace Master. The Palace Master will surely change their mind!"
Li Cunren sighed, "Why must it be like this? Don’t you want to understand what the true appearance of the Divine Clan Martial Arts is?"
In the Fengtian Palace, they learned the Heavenly Person Martial Arts from this set of Divine Clan Martial Arts.
Their Heavenly Person Martial Arts originated from this set of Divine Clan Martial Arts, but it wasn’t the Divine Clan Martial Arts itself.
How could they not be curious about what the Divine Clan Martial Arts truly was?
Unfortunately, they couldn’t comprehend it or understand it.
"Even if we wish to understand, we cannot allow it to be leaked, especially not to the Yujing Imperial Family."
Li Cunren chuckled, "As if Yujing could even comprehend the Divine Clan Martial Arts!"
He shook his head, "If they could comprehend it, would Yujing be in this current state!"
"Still, it won’t work!" Fang Yubai said.
Chu Zhiyuan had remained silent, but now he spoke, "Elder Fang, if I vow not to reveal what I’ve seen to the Jade Dynasty?"
Fang Yubai looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
His gaze was like lightning, intensely trying to see through Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan confronted it calmly.
Fang Yubai shook his head, "The Divine Treasure cannot be leaked to Prince Yujing."
Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and said, "Big brother, doesn’t Yujing also have the Divine Clan Martial Arts?"
"Certainly," Li Cunren nodded.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "But I never said anything about it."
Li Cunren said, "Your big brother, Chu Liechu, should have seen it."
"So, as the Ninth Prince, I don’t have the qualification to comprehend it?" Chu Zhiyuan said.
Li Cunren nodded, "It seems that way."
"Divine Clan Martial Arts... Yujing cannot, Phoenix cannot, Fengtian Palace cannot..." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "In the end, I cannot see it."
He looked at Fang Yubai, then at Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun.
Fang Yubai’s expression was serious, staring fiercely at him, while Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun looked helpless.
