The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
Wan Sanqian, what does this guy want from me?
Ao Zhan stared at the communication stone with a suspicious look on his face.
"Brother Ao, shall I take my leave?"
As if sensing something, Destiny prepared to leave.
"It's nothing, it's Wan Sanqian who wants to see me!"
Ao Zhan smiled and reached out his hand, leaving the destiny behind.
Wan Sanqian and Shen Lian were not just fellow disciples back then; their relationship was even closer than that of blood brothers.
Very few people know this.
Ao Zhan happens to be one of the few.
He knew very well why Wan Sanqian had come, but he didn't want to get involved in Shen Lian's death easily.
That incident happened so suddenly, without any warning.
Shen Lian's death was something no one expected.
Half-step to the Great Luo represents absolute dominance below the Great Luo level.
He is not only the top of the Golden Immortal Ranking, but also capable of surpassing the number one on the Heavenly Palace Ranking.
In addition, given the Star Palace's modus operandi, Shen Lian would never offend anyone.
But he suddenly died, and the people from the Star Palace headquarters were unable to find the cause.
It's easy to imagine how complex the secrets involved are.
For Wan Sanqian to return to the Azure Sky Domain two thousand years ago and not make a single visit, but now propose to pay a visit, it can only be for the sake of the Refinement.
Ao Zhan could have refused, but he did not.
Compared to the difficulty of that matter, he believed Wan Sanqian was a smart man.
Since Wan Sanqian was coming to see him, he must have some trump cards up his sleeve. Ao Zhan wanted to see Wan Sanqian's trump cards.
Fortunately, Tianming is also nearby, so if all else fails, he can at least follow this guy's lead.
......
Before long, the teleportation array lit up with a glow.
Wan Sanqian stepped out of the teleportation array, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting, saying, "Dragon Emperor, it's been a long time."
"Oh, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Tianming to be here too!"
The moment Wan Sanqian saw the Mandate of Heaven, he became even more certain of his suspicions.
The breach of the Southern Heavenly Realm Pass a thousand years ago, which forced Ao Zhan's young son into the Heavenly Ascension Battlefield, was a setup.
The source core is merely a front for this scheme.
A great emperor like Luo would not waste time on raising his youngest son.
After all, there was already an Ao Zhan before Ao Yao.
Excluding nurturing the youngest son, abandoning the source core, and even having to enlist the help of the Heavenly Mandate Elder, there are not many things worth Da Luo's intervention.
Firstly, planning for the Great Way to ascend to higher realms, there are other opportunities on the battlefield of ascending to heaven.
But the chance is extremely slim, and if there really is an opportunity, Gu Nianjin will not let it go.
Secondly, the battlefield to ascend to heaven is just a facade, and the competition is merely a performance put on display.
The real target is a certain being on the battlefield of ascending to heaven.
The reason for this reasoning is that the person who went in was Ao Yao.
To others, he might be the biggest spendthrift in the Tianqing Domain, but Wan Sanqian, who pays close attention to him, knows very well just how many geniuses this guy has befriended through his extravagant spending.
If these people don't die young, more than 70% of them will be able to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
Among them is a prodigy like Tian Bujian, who is comparable to Ao Mie, and whose future potential starts at the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm.
Although breaking through to the Great Luo realm is extremely difficult, the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm is basically the ceiling of the Azure Sky Domain.
Ao Yao always had a strange way of making friends.
Perhaps it was luck that allowed him to always get close to the demons hidden in the dust and smoke.
Ao Zhan likely sent Ao Yao into the Heavenly Ascension Battlefield for this very reason.
You're going to die!
Fate suddenly spoke up.
He also knew a thing or two about the matter of cultivation.
Although he was left behind, he didn't mind living longer.
He said that only to discourage Wan Sanqian from making a move.
"Fellow Daoist Tianming, you can't just say things like that!"
Wan Sanqian sat down without a care in the world, completely ignoring the words of fate.
"Let me make this clear first, I don't want to get involved in the matter of the Refinement Process!"
Ao Zhan put down his teacup and then said, "I advise you not to investigate, after all, everything happened too suddenly back then."
"Let's put aside what happened back then. Dragon Emperor, take a look at the intelligence I've gathered."
Wan Sanqian gently waved his hand, and the photo stone reflected light and shadow.
The scene of light and shadow clearly resembled the study in the Star Palace.
However, when Zhang Danyang entered, things were different; there were many more communication stones in the study.
The information contained in each communication stone is projected.
The information begins with the battle a thousand years ago when the Southern Heavenly Realm Pass was breached.
The convergence of the timeline is Wan Sanqian's own speculation: "It is obvious that there are not many forces that know about the existence of the Source Core."
The Xuanhuan Sect is one family, and the Pantheon is one family.
However, after this change, all the major powers will more or less guess the existence of the Source Core.
If all the major powers simultaneously mobilize their troops to the Ascension Battlefield, Your Majesty's plans may be affected.
Wan Sanqian's words were very straightforward, revealing his strategic planning.
But it was very subtle, without revealing the deepest secret.
The sense of proportion in this is just right.
This way, Ao Zhan can understand without losing his temper.
Ao Zhan looked at Wan Sanqian calmly and said, "Tell me your plan. If it's feasible, I can help you."
Blessing future generations is of paramount importance.
The person on the battlefield of ascending to heaven must not suffer even the slightest mishap.
Judging from the current situation, his son and that other person must have the upper hand.
As long as no reinforcements arrive from the major forces, the Battle of Ascension can be successfully concluded.
However, if all the major forces pay attention to the Ascension Battlefield, it will be difficult to conclude the battle.
"Dragon Emperor, please look!"
Wan Sanqian opened his palm and took out a communication stone.
The information within the stone was not revealed, and only Ao Zhan could see it.
The few words at the beginning were enough to make Ao Zhan frown.
Sell the collected information to various factions, telling them that the Battlefield of Ascension may contain a source core.
Is this here to help me or to harm me?
But when Ao Zhan finished reading the rest of the plan, his expression completely changed.
It must be said that this plan is very risky.
However, the success rate is also very high.
Should we choose to believe the people on the battlefield of ascending to heaven, or should we choose to believe Wan Sanqian?
The strategy of "openly repairing the plank road while secretly advancing the Chencang pass" ultimately turns out to be more about "openly repairing the plank road."
Only a madman could come up with such a plan.
Wan Sanqian is indeed a madman.
If he had any sense, he wouldn't have thought about investigating Chen Lian's death.
Among those who came from the main hall of the Star Palace back then, there were some Great Luo Immortals.
"I'll handle things outside the border; the rest will be done as you wish."
Ao Zhan looked at Wan Sanqian and nodded.
"Thank you, Dragon Emperor!"
Wan Sanqian clasped his hands in a fist salute and then disappeared into the Dragon Clan's secret realm.
"Brother Tianming, let's go for a walk together!"
Ao Zhan turned around with a smile and said.
Tianming spread his hands and gave a helpless bitter smile, "I really can't do anything with you guys. You want to use me but you also have to be wary of me. Aren't you tired!"
