Upon hearing Zhao Yucai's question, Wang Zheng nodded silently.

Now that things have come to this point, besides the external training method and visualization method, what other more basic things can be promoted?

However, after learning about the origin of this cultivation technique and the so-called ancient cultivators, Wang Zheng still had some reservations about these so-called "life-saving benefactors".

Although he couldn't agree with their actions and had no power to oppose them, that didn't stop him from calling them blockheads.

If things are really as Wang Zheng thinks, these guys, even knowing they are no match for the other side and are being constantly invaded and infiltrated, still have no intention of setting aside their sectarian differences and passing on their cultivation techniques.

These people are far from being considered human beings of Earth. Perhaps, judging from their act of abandoning the spiritually depleted Earth and retreating into a hidden realm, they have drifted further and further away from Earth...

The thought of these selfish and conservative fellows, who even exchanged the translated manuals for the inheritance of modern awakened individuals and the manuals excavated from ruins, is truly appalling.

While Wang Zheng was moved by the hard work and dedication of Lao Zhao and Lao Li's generation in paving a new path for Blue Star, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger...

Despite his indignation, Wang Zheng quickly composed himself and asked again:

"I have no more questions about this cultivation method. Finally, there are these forbidden areas, which are also known as these ruins."

I've ventured into Yunnan and the Taihang Mountains before. Although it was dangerous, since there are cultivation techniques that even cultivators in the caves covet, shouldn't we take action now and discover more useful things?

"By the way, the map also shows other ruins, right? Once we develop and utilize them, we can obtain more information and resources. Why don't we explore them?"

"You didn't encounter anything else besides entering that illusion?"

"You mean those powerful demons trapped inside?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Zheng was somewhat puzzled.

"I think even if this great demon is very powerful, the country should be able to eliminate it. We have so many grandmasters in our country, they could have overwhelmed it. Is there some other key factor at play?"

"This child is teachable!"

Zhao Yucai was pleased to see that Wang Zheng quickly realized his oversight, and then stopped keeping him in suspense and explained in detail.

"Wang Zheng, you must have studied this map after you got it, right? Actually, judging from the terrain on this map, it is far from the China of hundreds of years ago."

Moreover, the map is incomplete; it only marks a small portion of the ruins.

There are actually many such maps, and over the years, many countries, large and small, have discovered them, and these forbidden areas have been explored to some extent.

Once you've been inside this forbidden area, you'll know that the so-called illusion is just a myth; in reality, this place isn't even in the same dimension as Earth.

When you can get in depends entirely on luck. Sometimes you only overlap with the Blue Star space for a brief moment before separating again. There is absolutely no pattern to it.

I'm already surprised you managed to break through the blockade twice and enter this forbidden area, and to come back alive is even more incredible luck. Wild monkey, you can't be so reckless anymore."

Faced with the old man's earnest teachings, Wang Zheng felt a wave of fear. However, he hadn't gone into the forbidden area on his own initiative; both times were accidents.

After making up his mind that he would never be so reckless again, Zhao Yucai continued:

"Even so, we found a relic in the world, back when the concept of the extraordinary didn't exist yet."

We mobilized the entire nation, and more than 30 top experts entered one of the secret realms.

That battle was extremely fierce, with more than half of the experts losing their lives. However, after we killed the bear demon, the so-called legacy did not appear, and the space even disappeared directly into the spacetime turbulence.

Of the remaining dozen or so powerful individuals, only three survived the cataclysmic event that tore through space.

From then on, we learned that these so-called ruins would only open on their own after a certain time. Even if we could enter, forcibly killing the great demons inside would only cause the ruins to collapse, making it all futile..."

The meeting room fell silent as Zhao Yucai slowly recounted this heartbreaking story.

Although Wang Zheng had expected that the country would know about the sealed-off forbidden area, he really didn't expect that the country had already conducted so much exploration.

"So, these powerful demons are very likely the first line of defense before the ruins open?"

"You could say that although those demons were sealed away by the great supernatural power of Sumeru Mustard Seed, they also served as guardians. However, they don't seem to be physical entities. After they are killed, they will disappear into the void along with the ruins."

After a period of rest, it may even recover completely, which is truly amazing. Moreover, these ancient relics date back to an unknown era, and even those within the grotto-heavens value these relics highly, so we dare not be careless.

Wang Zheng was somewhat surprised.

'Sealed away? Resurrected from the dead? What kind of being could possess such unparalleled divine power?!'

Seemingly sensing Wang Zheng's inner thoughts, Zhao Yucai continued to explain:

"These ancient demons were actually dead long ago; all that remained was a wisp of divine consciousness."

Although it is unknown why they are able to maintain their strength from when they were alive, they will disappear into the world once the seal is completely broken and the ruins reappear.

Judging from the messages transmitted from the grotto-heaven, these great demons seem to be ancient giants as well. I wonder what kind of extraordinary being could seal them all away; it's truly something to aspire to!"

Looking at the two old men in front of him with deep emotion, Wang Zheng wondered if there might be any missing among these sealed great demons if they were all ancient great demons.

For example, the ferocious beast, or the Bifang from the Imperial Military Academy...

I just don't know what the Great Beast Master meant by the meaningless shell he mentioned before. Perhaps he meant that Bifang had lost its mind and had no memory?
