"I seem to understand why you are the final winner. It seems that your strength is far more than just reflected in your cultivation strength.

A person’s most important weapons are always the mind and wisdom, and I agree with this statement.

And you are obviously my favorite type. If you can be of use to me and help me accomplish one thing, then I can share with you anything you want in the Imperial Empire."

In fact, what the old emperor said was a bit exaggerated, but the more he said so, the more Xu Yang realized that the old man's ambition was quite big.

"Then let me guess, His Majesty will probably appoint the three of us as generals to conquer the Xuanyu Dynasty.

Ask us to lead the warrior army to the battlefield.

I don’t know if my guess is right.”

After Xu Yang finished speaking this time, the old emperor finally couldn't help but raised his head and laughed.

"You are such a smart young man, and such a talent is hard to come by. I really don't want to give up this opportunity.

As an emperor, I will not allow talents like you to go to other empires and dynasties to become my rivals.

So rather than being a request to the three of you, this is more of a mandatory order.

It's just that the opportunity to get such an appointment is earned by your merits, so it is a relatively fair deal in the final analysis.

As you guessed, the Xuanyu Dynasty has made secret moves more than once and is planning to take a month to fight the final battle.

After a month of preparation, all warrior forces going out will be led by the three of you.

You don't need to worry about anything else, just help me eliminate all the warrior forces that intervene in the battlefield within the Xuanyu Dynasty.

If you can help me complete the task this time, the reward that awaits you will be beyond your imagination."

Xu Yang had no reason to refuse the old emperor's words.

More importantly, Xu Yang vaguely felt that only by increasing the intensity of the confrontation to the level of the two empires and dynasties would it be possible for those hidden martial arts forces lurking in the dark to emerge one after another. That was the situation Xu Yang most wanted to see.

Only in this way can he get more opportunities to find the location where the will of the Supreme God is hidden.

"As the saying goes, the rise and fall of an empire is the responsibility of every citizen. Since we are all citizens of the imperial dynasty, we naturally have the obligation to bear such responsibilities. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. The three of us will definitely not let you down.

However, during the next month of preparation, the three of us need absolute freedom.

The army needs to prepare, and we warriors also need enough time to accumulate strength.

I don't want anyone to disturb the three of us during this time."

The old emperor was well prepared. He waved his hand gently, and his subordinates took out three extremely exquisite maps inlaid with golden edges. Obviously, what were recorded on them were the specific coordinates of the three forbidden areas of the empire that Xu Yang most desired to obtain.

There are some extra detailed annotations on it.

The old emperor spoke slowly, "These three restricted areas are all for cultivators below the Hedao realm, a place where there is only death and no life.

You three should think carefully. It will be dangerous if you go there rashly with your current strength."

Xu Yang smiled and shook his head. "Your Majesty, don't worry. I, Xu Yang, have never broken my promise to others. See you in a month."

After saying this, Xu Yang waved his palm lightly, took the three maps, and without any reluctance, turned around and left the spacious palace hall with Long Kun and Qing Ya.

After the three of them left one after another, the high-ranking court officials standing on both sides of the officials discussed for a while, and then sent two representatives to ask questions.

"Your Majesty, those three men are still young and have little practical experience. If we do this rashly, will there be any risks?"

The old emperor seemed to have a completely different idea and shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, those three young men are definitely not ordinary people. They will definitely bring about the situation I want to see the most.

As for other responsibilities that should not be borne by the Empire, they will naturally not fall on our heads. This time we are definitely making a profit without any loss."

Obviously, for such powerful emperors, they know better than anyone else how to maximize their own interests.

What unknown things are hidden behind this battle? Perhaps we can only make a judgment after the two sides officially go to war.

After leaving the Tiandu Dynasty, Xu Yang only sent the Dragon Vein Totem to go to the Xuanhuang Gate in person, said hello to the two girls, Xiaohua and Lingyao, and then took Long Kun and Qingya directly to the direction of the three restricted areas.

In fact, Xu Yang had an important purpose in doing this, which was to create his third exclusive main artifact.

He was reminded by the phenomenon that the martial arts training system and the primitive power training system could be integrated, and wanted to create a special artifact that could change the body shape at any time through the breath in his body.

Once it is formed, this main artifact that can change its shape at will will be put to more use by Xu Yang. Even if it is just a dagger, it can become a sharp blade to cut the enemy's throat.

Although the sword is powerful, it still has its drawbacks that he cannot make up for. The third main artifact that Xu Yang wants to create this time is to completely avoid this drawback. Although the exclusive weapon soul that Xu Yang chose is the sword soul of the Lingxu Sword, it is all-encompassing and eclectic!

Among the three restricted areas, the one closest to Tiandu is called Xuanming Valley.

What the origin of this place is? There is no indication on the corresponding map. Even Qingya is not familiar with this place which has been a forbidden area since ancient times. It was not until Xu Yang and the other two entered the valley in person that they finally understood what the two words "Xuanming" meant.

This is actually a valley surrounded by two completely opposite attributes. The left side of the valley is covered with snow all year round, while the right side of the valley is like a warm spring breeze, with grass growing and birds flying, and all living things giving birth to an extremely rich breath of life.

It forms a sharp contrast with the snow-covered and dead silence on the left side of the valley.

"Damn it, Boss, this place doesn't look like a so-called restricted area. I can't find any attribute that can make it a restricted area. Such a strong breath of life doesn't seem to be a place to bury life."

It seemed that Long Kun could not find any fault with his words, but Xu Yang was able to see through the essence of this place from another perspective.

“It is indeed as you said, but have you two ever thought about a question: how and why was such a strange terrain formed in this place?
