Zheng Ya summoned Liu Yan'er, who had now become an intelligence officer. With a charming smile, Liu Yan'er presented him with a tattered book: "Master, here's a book for you..."
"Yan'er, you're so unruly..." Liu Yuan was very troubled by his granddaughter Yan'er's incorrigible nature. He sternly frowned and clenched his fists, wanting to hit her!
Sensing something was wrong, Liu Yan'er stepped behind Zheng Ya, peeked out and made a face, which angered Liu Yuan, who raised his hand as if to hit her.
Zheng Ya waved his hand to stop her: "Alright, it's just a form of address, let her be happy, oh..."
As he spoke, he opened the tattered, incomplete, gray-black book, revealing pale gold characters on it, ancient and incomplete.
But with a little attention, one can discern clues between the lines.
The most frequently mentioned terms are Dragon Palace, Secret Realm, Magic Treasures and Sea Maps, as well as some terms unrelated to Dragon Palace and Secret Realm, such as Soldiers and Armor, and Humans and Demons.
Clearly, this tattered book reveals a major conspiracy.
However, the passage of time is so long that it is impossible to discern the era and the direction of the conspiracy.
Liu Yuan glared at Yan'er and changed the subject: "Master, this old servant thinks that this tattered book is probably just an account book."
Perhaps for the sake of convenience and portability, the notes were written hastily and without any particular method.
Judging from the damaged marks on this ledger, it seems that the damage was transmitted through space, but the material of the ledger is very special and difficult to destroy.
Based on my knowledge, I believe this ledger was likely one of the triggers for the world war three hundred years ago.
"You mean the Dragon Palace Secret Realm hides the secrets and inheritances of ascending to the upper realm?" Zheng Ya thought of many things in an instant. Even Liu Yan'er became well-behaved and pondered, no longer making a fuss.
Many versions of the epic war that lasted three hundred years have been passed down.
Most of the legends revolve around ascending to the upper realm and the inheritance of immortal cultivation, with hundreds of different legends.
Naturally, there are also legends of the Dragon Palace and its secret realm.
However, the legend is shrouded in mystery and has no basis whatsoever.
Even if someone believed it and had the ability to search for the Dragon Palace in the ocean, it would all be in vain.
It is certain that many cultivators are searching for the Dragon Palace Secret Realm openly and secretly, but no one is saying it out loud.
We didn't find the Dragon Palace at sea, so we were too ashamed to tell anyone.
Naturally, those who find the Dragon Palace's secret realm will only keep quiet and make a fortune.
This effectively shut down all sources of information about the Dragon Palace Secret Realm.
Zheng Ya noticed something amiss from Liu Yuan's serious expression: "Are you worried that this Dragon Palace Secret Realm treasure map that suddenly appeared might be a trap deliberately set up by someone with ulterior motives?"
"Your Majesty is wise; your words hit the nail on the head!" Liu Yuan indeed meant this.
It should be known that cultivators all over the world are scrambling for cultivation resources to cultivate.
Furthermore, dynasties and powerful families exploit the cultivation resources of independent cultivators, forcing them to fight to the death just to ascend to the upper realm.
Because of the great war three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Dao of this world was destroyed, causing immortals to fall into the mortal world. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth gradually thinned out, endangering the space for cultivators to ascend to the upper realm. Therefore, cultivators who caught up with this era grasped at the straw of immortality and desperately tried to grasp the path of immortality.
To achieve immortality, the primary goal is to acquire cultivation resources.
Cultivation inheritances, secret realm treasures, spiritual treasures, and rare and precious materials are resources that people fight tooth and nail for.
Besides, there are legends that have been passed down for three hundred years, including elixirs and rare treasures that can make people instantly become immortal.
And Lingbao helps people achieve immortality.
This gave all cultivators a fervent hope to strive for.
Just like the Dai Clan's Secret Realm, cultivators from all over the world flocked there, only to fall into Sheng Xiang's trap and suffer countless deaths and injuries.
Therefore, Zheng Ya chose to retreat and avoid being discovered, so that no one could plot against him. Otherwise, he would be annoyed to death by the cultivators who came attracted by his scent.
Consequently, they may also be ambushed and killed by those with ulterior motives.
Zheng Ya didn't give anyone a chance to scheme, and incidentally helped the Dai family avoid the limelight, using a strategic retreat: "Well, so whose fault do you think this situation is?"
"According to the intelligence obtained by our superpower team, the treasure map of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm was a trick played by Sheng Xiang to lure Xie Ming into a trap."
If Xie Ming hadn't snatched the Dragon Palace Secret Realm treasure map from Sheng Xiang, this old servant wouldn't be sure that Sheng Xiang used the treasure map to scheme against Xie Ming.
Xie Ming's scheme was too obvious! Liu Yuan suspected that the difficulty in entering the Dragon Palace Secret Realm might be because Sheng Xiang couldn't enter the Dragon Palace Secret Realm himself, so he deliberately set up a scheme to have someone clear the way for him to enter the Dragon Palace Secret Realm.
Every secret realm has its unique way of opening; brute force won't work.
Comparatively speaking, Xie Ming's superpower is true spirit, which gives him the innate ability to see through all spiritual things in the world, making him the most suitable candidate to open the secret realm.
Otherwise, Sheng Xiang isn't stupid. Why doesn't he take control of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm treasure map, research and develop it, and monopolize all the resources and treasures in the secret realm?
This alone hints at a conspiracy.
Xie Ming wasn't stupid, but he had no choice but to take the bait. In order to seize everything in the Dragon Palace Secret Realm, he willingly fell into the trap.
Zheng Ya smiled wryly: "It seems that Sheng Xiang's open scheme encompasses the whole world!"
"Yes, that's where Shengxiang's brilliance lies. On one hand, he openly plots to get Xie Ming involved and send him overseas to open the Dragon Palace Secret Realm. On the other hand, he calls on cultivators all over the world to target Xie Ming and seize the treasure map of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm from him."
If Sheng Xiang seizes the opportunity to balance things out, ensuring Xie Ming is injured but not killed, and opens the secret realm, then seizes the chance to kill Xie Ming, he can gain all the advantages. Liu Yuan exclaimed that this was a brilliant scheme of using someone else to kill, followed by a clever maneuver to catch the predator.
It should be noted that this scheme has already succeeded more than halfway, and tens of thousands of cultivators are hunting down Xie Ming.
Cultivators were also killing each other.
A full-scale war erupted over the Dragon Palace Secret Realm.
The key is a major battle that no one can stop.
This shows that Shengxiang has initially achieved its goal!
Daiyu went up to the rooftop with concern: "This storm is too dangerous, shouldn't we stay away?"
"Whether we get involved or not is something we'll decide for now; let's wait and see!" Zheng Ya felt that this matter was inextricably linked to Wu Wei.
But Wu Wei has disappeared without a trace, that's not normal!
Qinglong witnessed Wu Wei and Sheng Xiang wreaking havoc on the Dark Yuan Dynasty tribes on more than one occasion, indicating that the two had reached a cooperative relationship in some sense.
So, is it reasonable that Sheng Xiang suddenly appeared within the territory of the Great Li Dynasty, setting up a scheme against Xie Ming and all the cultivators in the world, while Wu Wei was nowhere to be seen?
With a "flutter," a peregrine falcon swooped down and delivered a mail tube.
Liu Yuan's expression changed as he checked the intelligence in the mailbox: "Master, Fu Zhen has appeared in the Tianyan Mountains, escorted by the Yanlong Iron Cavalry..."
"Oh, what's going on now?" Zheng Ya sensed that things were not going well!
Liu Yuan also felt that Fu Zhen's appearance was at an inopportune time: "Master, could it be that the Dragon Palace Secret Realm is a trap set up by someone to attract attention and divert cultivators from all over the world, so that they can plot against the treasures in the Tianyan Mountains?"
"Yes, that's possible. Wu Wei has awakened a fire elemental ability and is most eager to obtain fire elemental crystals and treasures to cultivate and evolve."
A few months ago, Wu Wei set out for the Northern Border to plan for fire element resources, but now, it's hard to say! Zheng Ya was unsure for a moment!
Wu Wei and Sheng Xiang were causing trouble in the Dark Yuan Dynasty a moment ago, and then suddenly they appeared and teleported away. It was a mix of truth and falsehood, and no one knew the real tricks behind it.
