"What did you say?"

Li Jing said calmly.

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, the two Imperial Guards soldiers finally released Kong Zhentian.

With a look of relief on his face, Kong Zhentian said, "When the envoy of the Supreme Dao Sect led us into the Burial Ground of Immortals, he said, 'After ten thousand years of suppression, the Southern Region has finally reached the time of its most prosperous fortune.'"

The time to seize our destiny has arrived!

"Is the time to seize fortune the moment when fortune is at its most prosperous?"

Li Jing seemed to be deep in thought.

"Your Majesty, that was exactly what I heard clearly at the time."

"It's not just me; many people in our Royal Household Department have heard this."

Kong Zhentian nodded repeatedly.

"Are there any other members of the Supreme Dao Sect outside of it, or is there only this one envoy from the Supreme Dao Sect?"

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then looked at Kong Zhentian and asked.

He needed to determine whether this envoy from the Supreme Dao Sect entered the Burial Grounds on his own initiative or as an act of the entire Supreme Dao Sect.

Or rather, it was done by a group of people from the Supreme Daoist sect.

There are differences here.

"Your Majesty, I did not see any other members of the Supreme Dao Sect outside the Burial Ground of Immortals."

"The only person I saw from the Supreme Dao Sect was this one envoy from the Supreme Dao Sect."

"However, his status and position within the Supreme Dao Sect seem to be extremely high."

Kong Zhentian hesitated for a moment, then said, "It is very likely that he is a true disciple of the Supreme Dao Sect."

Li Jing waved his hand and remained silent.

Two Imperial Guardsmen each grabbed one of Kong Zhentian's arms, lifted him up, and walked him out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This time, Kong Zhentian neither struggled nor shouted. He knew that his words had had an effect.

At least he no longer needs to worry about the Primordial Dynasty torturing him.

As for asking the Taichu Dynasty to let him go, Kong Zhentian never even considered it. Considering his previous arrogant and rampant behavior, it would be strange if the Taichu Dynasty could let him go so easily.

If Li Jing said he would let him go, he would be afraid to leave.

Watching Kong Zhentian being led away, the Grand Secretary Yan Changqing and the others exchanged glances. Yan Changqing then stepped forward and said to Li Jing with utmost respect, "Your Majesty, could the formation of the Burial Ground of Immortals be related to the Supreme Dao Sect?"

"The formation of the Burial Ground for Immortals should have nothing to do with the Supreme Dao Sect."

Li Jing shook his head and said with certainty, "They want to scheme against an immortal and create a place to bury immortals."

This is something that the Supreme Daoist sect could not accomplish.

Even though the Supreme Dao Sect has an ancient lineage and is one of the most prestigious holy sites in the Eastern Wilderness.

That's absolutely impossible.

Furthermore, apart from the Burial Ground of Immortals, no other members of the Supreme Dao Sect appeared.

I suspect that this true disciple of the Supreme Daoist Sect received some inheritance or learned some secrets somewhere.

That's why they contacted the Taiyi Dao Sect and entered the Burial Ground of Immortals.

In the Eastern Wilderness, it is not that no other immortals have perished.

However, no other place has ever experienced a phenomenon like that of the Southern Region, turning this region into a forbidden land, a place where immortals are buried.

Not just in the Eastern Wilderness, but throughout the entire world, the Southern Region is an extremely special area.

"Your Majesty, let's leave that secret aside for now. What was the meaning behind that remark from the true disciple of the Supreme Dao Sect?"

Yan Changqing frowned and said.

All the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty turned their gazes toward Li Jing, eager to know the true meaning of his words.

"Ying Qingyue, what do you think this sentence means?"

Li Jing smiled calmly, looked at Ying Qingyue, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and said.

The civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ying Qingyue, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

During this period, after Ying Qingyue entered the Ministry of Personnel, she kept a very low profile and rarely spoke in the court.

Today marks the first time Ying Qingyue has spoken in the imperial court, and she even volunteered for battle.

After a moment's thought, they understood why Li Jing would ask Ying Qingyue.

This top scholar in the imperial examination was no ordinary person; he was a gifted individual, possessing exceptional talent and the finest qualities of heaven and earth.

"Your Majesty, I believe that it is very likely due to the special circumstances of the Burial Ground of Immortals that the fortune of the Burial Ground of Immortals has exploded, giving birth to a large number of geniuses."

"An extraordinary opportunity will appear here."

"The restrictions of heaven and earth on the Burial Ground of Immortals may have been lifted, and the barrier between heaven and earth may have been destroyed."

"Or rather, the formations or magical artifacts left behind by the powerful beings who originally set up and created the Burial Ground of Immortals are no longer able to suppress the Burial Ground of Immortals from continuing to exist."

Ying Qingyue pondered for a moment, then said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Yan Changqing and the others remained expressionless, but their eyes revealed that they also suspected the same thing.

"There's no need to discuss this further. We'll know when the mystery is solved."

Li Jing nodded slightly and said, "Our most urgent task now is to take over more mortal dynasties."

Since this involves a struggle over destiny.

Therefore, conquering more mortal dynasties means that the power of our Primordial Dynasty's destiny will be stronger.

The stronger we become, the weaker the Taiyi Dynasty becomes!

The easier it will be for us to suppress the Taiyi Dynasty.

His guess was not much different from Ying Qingyue's.

To be honest, he saw too many martial arts prodigies and extraordinary talents in the Burial Ground of Immortals.

Ying Qingyue, who possesses a seven-aperture exquisite mind; Tantai Qiuwu, who has an innate demonic body; Nangong Yijian and Zhao Lingjun, who have extraordinary comprehension; Lü Chunyang, who has an innate Dao body; Beigong Wudi, who has a Xuanhuang Hegemon body; Zhou Li, the God of War; Gongsun Wangshu, the Immortal of War; Yan Changqing, the Master of Divine Strategist; Zhong Shenxiu, who has the talent of a king's advisor; and even the other civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty.

Each of these people is a rare genius, even an unparalleled genius, in the Eastern Wilderness.

If these individuals were to appear in the Eastern Wilderness, becoming a holy son or daughter of a sacred land, or a top-tier civil or military official of a dynasty of destiny, would be an easy task.

However, so many prodigies have appeared in this Burial Land of Immortals, which is only a small area.

It's already quite remarkable that a burial ground for immortals could produce two such extraordinary geniuses.

So many have been born all at once.

Moreover, they cannot represent all the geniuses of the Burial Land of Immortals; there are certainly many other talents like them in the Burial Land of Immortals.

Take, for example, the First Queen Wanxi of the Yun Kingdom!

"Your Majesty is wise."

The civil and military officials of the Primordial Dynasty shouted with utmost respect.

"Nangong Qingyue, you have three tasks. One is to dig out as much information as possible about Dongli Domain and even the entire Eastern Wilderness from Kong Zhentian. We need to have a better understanding of the Eastern Wilderness."

"The second is to provide intelligence support for our Primordial Dynasty to conquer various mortal dynasties."

Li Jing looked at Nangong Qingyue and said in a deep and powerful voice, "The third thing is to keep a close eye on the Taiyi Dynasty!"

The first task, naturally, was for Li Jing to find out if anything had happened in the Eastern Wilderness during his time in the Burial Ground of Immortals, and what changes had occurred.
