Zhenjun Furong's expression was stagnant, and she suddenly didn't want to speak.
Fan Chunlai sat next to him, feeling a little funny.
Do you really think that Zhang Ke doesn’t know anything just by staying in the camp every day?
"Ahem!"
True Lord Lieyan coughed twice and changed the subject:
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. It has been more than a month since I came to this secret place.
Let’s discuss how we should carry out this mission?”
True Lord Furong was the first to speak.
"This mission is actually very simple. I've been going around this month and found that the creatures in this secret realm are not very strong.
We can divide people into multiple groups and spread them out, and drive the leyline pillars into the leyline nodes according to the layout method of [Star Track Traction Sub-Array].
According to my estimate, it should take three years to complete this mission."
As soon as these words came out, all the real people sitting on the ground became energetic.
No one wants to stay in this ghost place any longer.
There is no daylight all day long, no matter it is day or night, the world is always groggy, and my heart is very depressed.
The light shines at two hours of meridian, the strong wind comes on time every seven days, and there are no restrictions on free movement.
This kind of living in one place, going out regularly, and living an extremely regular life made all the disciples feel like they were in prison.
When I heard True Lord Furong saying that I could go back in three years, I naturally became energetic.
Although her method is simple and crude, what does it matter?
However, I immediately heard Zhang Ke’s laughter of ‘hehe’.
Zhenjun Jiuren looked around at everyone.
"Ruyi, tell me what you think!"
Zhang Ke reached out and touched his chin and said:
"Let everyone express their thoughts first, and I will talk about it later."
Even so, there was something in his expression, and naturally no one was willing to talk nonsense.
There was silence in the tent, Zhenjun Furong's face was as dark as water, and he said nothing despite Zhang Ke.
She felt that her plan was very good. It could complete the task quickly and make full use of manpower. The most important thing was that it was in line with the wishes of her disciples.
'Hmph! If you can't speak out clearly, don't blame me for not giving you face, just for venting your anger.'
True Lord Furong was thinking to himself.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Ke said:
"Since no one is talking, I will tell you some of my observations and speculations, and everyone can help me explain them."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"Through my observation with the [Xumitian Eye Array], the shape of the misty secret realm is an ellipse.
The distance from north to south is about 12,000 miles, and the distance from east to west is about 9,000 miles."
Zhang Ke reported the size of this secret realm with very intuitive figures.
True Lord Lieyan felt his heart aching terribly.
‘A secret realm comparable to the size of Dingzhou was given away by the sect like this. This time it was really a huge loss.
Alas! My background is still a bit shallow and I don’t have enough experience to deal with this kind of thing.’
True Lord Furong opened her mouth, but did not ask Zhang Ke how he came to this conclusion in the camp.
Zhang Ke flicked his finger, and a bit of white-gold light flew out from his fingertips and exploded.
Thousands of rays of light interspersed and connected in the air, gathering into an oval sphere that looked a bit like a chicken.
"For example, a star is like a stone floating in the void of the universe.
The secret realm is different from the stars, it is hidden in the gaps in the void.
The secret realm is similar to the yolk of an egg. At the core, the egg white is the layer of clouds and mist outside the secret realm, which hides the secret realm.
The outermost eggshell is equivalent to a membrane, which blends with the void. If the void is a sea, then the outermost membrane is a water droplet.
When a water droplet merges into the sea, its true position cannot be calculated without knowing the coordinates of the anchor point of the secret realm.
After all, the secret realm is constantly changing according to the laws of the starry sky."
Zhang Ke briefly explained what a secret realm is.
"oh!"
Some disciples responded softly, finally gaining some understanding of the secret realm.
Zhang Ke empty-handed the chicken-sized talisman ball.
“Buzz——!”
A slight vibration sounded, and the talisman ball quickly increased to the size of a calf, and rotated slightly according to a certain rhythm.
Fan Chunlai looked at the enlarged talisman ball in front of him and saw a layer of gray mist covering the talisman ball.
Gradually the fog dispersed, revealing the scene inside the talisman ball.
Mountains, rivers, river valleys, forests, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and the sea are all revealed in this talisman ball.
"This is what the secret realm of mist really looks like."
Zhang Ke casually clicked on the talisman ball and once again enlarged it to a size of about ten feet, slowly spinning in the air.
Although he felt a little dissatisfied with Zhang Ke, Fan Chunlai was still shocked by the sight in front of him.
Looking at the secret realm manifesting talisman ball that was constantly spinning in the air, he had a strange feeling, as if the entire secret realm was under Zhang Ke's control.
"Ahem!"
Zhang Ke coughed twice and continued:
"What I just said is to let everyone have a better understanding of our situation. What I want to say next is the key point."
"This secret realm is very large. It was acquired by the Japanese clan from Qingtian Sword House in the past.
Isn't it strange to everyone?
Why doesn't Qingtian Jianlu develop such a huge secret realm, but instead uses it to exchange it with our sect?
Even for the fifth-grade sects of Qingtian Sword House, I can find this place with the help of coordinate anchor points, but I don’t believe that they can’t deduce the specific location of this secret realm on their own.”
"That's right! It's a secret realm the size of a state. Why would Qingtian Sword House abandon this place?
unless……"
Someone asked in a low voice, and someone else said:
"Unless there are no resources here, right? Even if there are no resources, can such a large secret realm be transformed?"
"Haha! Unless there is great danger here, Qingtian Sword House will give up!"
"S--! That makes sense!"
"..."
After the disciples below had finished discussing, Zhang Ke continued:
"Now let me tell you my opinion."
"The headmaster once told me that after the sect's promotion rules came down, he specifically asked Qingtian Sword House about the situation of this secret realm.
According to Qingtian Jianlu, there is a great danger in this secret realm, but the specific situation was not detailed because it is suspected of being a sect secret."
After a brief pause, Zhang Ke continued:
"In the past month, everyone must have become familiar with this place.
The clouds clear up and the fog disperses on the meridian, and the strong winds hit on the seventh day. Nothing about this seems to be natural.
Secondly, this fog in the sky is extremely harmful to the body, and being invaded by it for a long time will cause strange mutations in the root of the body."
Zhang Ke glanced at the disciples below with his spiritual thoughts, and then said:
"This variation is not limited to individuals, but will continue in the bloodline from generation to generation."
"Ss—!"
Everyone was frightened.
Doesn't this mean that once attacked, one's own descendants will be affected, which would be too scary.
Zhang Ke did not explain the concept of gene chain, but simply explained it in terms of bloodline pollution.
After saying this, Zhang Ke pointed at someone sitting below.
"Shiraishi, please tell me what you have researched."
Baishi stood up, first gave a salute, and then said:
"The mist in this secret realm is very complex, and for the time being, disciples are unable to fully analyze its structure.
However, one thing is certain, that is, after this mist infects the human body, it will indeed continue through the blood."
Everyone here is a disciple of the Golden Core Realm, and they know Baishi quite well.
I know that this person is extremely good at deriving spell structures and has never spoken lies in his life.
Thinking of living in such a terrible environment for the past month, all the disciples couldn't help but feel a little anxious in their hearts.
Zhang Ke comforted everyone and said:
"You don't have to worry too much. The harmful effects of fog on the body will not be revealed overnight.
The cultivator himself has a very strong repulsion, and it will take at least hundreds of years for it to penetrate into the body."
"Uu——!"
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After Zhang Ke waited for everyone to discuss for a while, he continued:
"I have a guess about the secret realm here. If you tell me, you can help me improve it.
In my opinion, this secret realm is most likely used by a powerful organization for experiments.
The starting time node cannot be confirmed, it should be thousands of years ago, or tens of thousands of years ago.
You can think about some of the rules in the secret realm.
The light at two o'clock at noon, the regular environmental changes every seven days throughout the year, and the formation of fog."
Fan Chunlai was shocked. Zhang Ke's view was quite scary.
When I think about it carefully, I feel more and more that this secret place is a little weird.
Couldn't help but say:
"Ruyi...Zhenjun, if it is really a man-made experiment, what is it for?"
Fan Chunlai almost blurted out and called Zhang Ke's name directly.
And his question is what all the disciples find strange.
After all, this kind of fog can cause great harm to the human body. What is the purpose of doing this?
Zhang Ke praised: "Good question!"
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I have a guess."
True Lord Furong secretly hummed in her heart.
'You have a lot of guesses. When you can't justify yourself, let's see how I can stop you from stepping down.'
"According to my speculation, it is assumed that there really was such a sect that used this secret realm for experiments a long time ago.
So what is their purpose?
In fact, the answer is very simple, they want to optimize human bloodline!"
Zhang Ke's words made everyone present stunned.
"Don't you think it's strange?
The proportion of cultivators in this secret realm is too large. For every twenty cultivators, one will become a cultivator.
Such a high ratio is obviously abnormal."
Lu Gong listened on the side, and his heart was shocked.
Yes! This ratio is really terrible.
When he heard what Shi Zhongyu said before, he felt extremely incredible.
Even if the 'Spiritual Root Method' is powerful, it should not be so defiant. This clearly violates the rules of heaven and earth.
Even though I knew I shouldn't speak, I still couldn't help but ask:
"It seems like the mist in this secret realm is good for people!
But according to the True Lord, there seems to be some hidden danger?"
