"Top secret information?" Shen Zhui looked calm on the surface, but there was a wave of confusion in his heart.
After he killed Han Po outside the Sword Tomb, he discovered that adventurers had different levels of understanding of secret realm information.
Shen Zhui, who had just entered the secret realm, was considered the lowest level novice and knew nothing about the secret realm.
And rich kids like Han Po have the means to buy a map of the secret realm, which contains the treasure locations summarized by adventurers who have participated in the secret realm in the past.
When we arrived at the second level of the Great Summer Palace, before anyone entered, there were meritorious missions and talk of rewards based on achievements in official titles.
After beating the second level till now, Shen Zhui has collected quite a lot of information. He discovered that someone knew about the ‘Battle of the Two Realms Mountains’ long before he became the Grand Master of the Central Military Commission.
And some people even guessed the starting point after cracking the endgame of time and space, up to Zuo Shuchang!
Until now, near the end of three years, someone has come to tell me that there is still an unknown secret?
Looking at Hai Qing's background, Shen Zhui felt that what the other party said was probably true!
Is this an oversight on the part of Daxia Academy, or is there some hidden agenda?
What Hai Qing said about turning against him together with Long Qie actually didn't appeal to Shen Zhui at all.
Regardless of whether they join or not, his number one position is firmly established! This is the result of Shen Zhui's hard work for more than two years, and no one can shake it.
However, Hai Qing's words really aroused his interest.
"Brother Hai, you might as well talk and listen first." Shen Zhui said calmly.
"Brother Shen, does he know the history of the Great Xia Academy?" Hai Qing asked.
"I've heard a little bit about it," Shen Zhui muttered. "The Great Xia Academy is a remnant of the Xia Dynasty. It was founded during the Apocalypse era. Since it has nothing to do with the world, once it encounters a war, it will be without peace for a long period of time. It is opened to the outside world and the entrance to the cave is closed. If there is peace and prosperity, people will go out to teach and educate people. With the existence of holy words and magical powers, it will not be a threat to the court but will be beneficial. Therefore, although the outside world has gone through dynasties, it has been passed down to this day."
"This matter is something everyone knows. What Brother Hai means when he talks about this is..."
"Hey, it's true that it has been passed down to this day, and it's true that the Holy Word's magical power is beneficial to the court. It's not necessarily true that you can't fight against the world." Hai Qing said with a smile.
"What do you mean by this?" Shen Zhui's heart moved.
"The Great Xia Academy is indeed independent of the world in many cases, and the power of the survivors of the Xia Dynasty will not be used by anyone." Hai Qing shook his head and said. "But there is an exception!"
"That's the prince who was granted the title of prince in this Great Xia Cave Heaven!"
"What? How is this possible!" Shen Zhui was shocked.
No matter which dynasty or generation, princes must be canonized by the emperor.
The prince of the Xia Dynasty...isn't he the Xia Emperor?
According to Hai Qing's meaning, is it possible that Emperor Xia is still alive?
"Although Emperor Xia is dead, this Great Xia Cave has the power of rules to carry out the destiny of heaven and grant princes titles."
"Brother Shen must also know how powerful this cave world is."
Shen Zhui nodded.
For now, Daxia Dongtian is just a secret realm, but it has shown the power of many tyrannical rules.
For example, ten days in the outside world and one year in the outside world accelerates.
Another example is this powerful Zhenwen fantasy beast, which has real combat power, even at the Venerable level.
The more important point was something Shen Zhui gradually realized later.
That is, the adventurers here are actually improving all the time.
For example, Shen Zhui can clearly feel that in the past three years, his cave world has not stopped growing, but has been suppressed by the power of rules, allowing him to only use the third level of magical power.
According to past practice, once the secret realm ends, most adventurers will usher in a major leap in strength!
And this kind of power that can provide a hundred thousand adventurers with breakthroughs all comes from Daxia Dongtian. How terrifying is this?
Just the tip of the iceberg made Shen Zhui feel how powerful this Daxia Dongtian world was!
"Some people speculate that this Great Xia Cave should be left by the Xia Dynasty royal family in the early days of the Apocalypse." Huan Haiqing said. "As for whether it is the Xia Emperor and the second human emperor, there is no way of knowing, but it must be A legacy of the Xia Dynasty royal family with pure blood."
"In this secret realm, if someone can obtain the position of prince, not only can they obtain the gifts of rules and luck left by the Xia Dynasty, but they can also mobilize some power from the Great Xia Academy to help!" Hai Qing said in surprise.
"This..." Shen Zhui was completely shocked and couldn't believe it. I didn't realize that there was such a secret hidden in it.
"Brother Shen." Hai Qing said with a smile. "I've been enjoying my stay in Kyoto, so why did I come all the way to Liang Kingdom and participate in this secret realm?"
"I, Long Qie, Wei Tianlong, and Ji Chang, if it weren't for the things behind this, I wouldn't be interested in the rewards here."
"Of course, relatively high-quality holy words and supernatural powers can still be of great use to us. However, the things behind this are truly worth our efforts!"
"This is just a guess, right?" Shen Zhui looked at Hai Qing. "As far as I know, adventurers can reach the highest level of a concubine."
"And if such a test really exists, why doesn't Daxia Academy just make it public?"
"Why would the imperial court acquiesce to this situation?"
Shen Zhui asked several questions in succession, clearing up all his doubts, and then carefully observed Hai Qing's expression. He wanted to see if Hai Qing was deceiving him.
"I can't answer you the last two questions because I don't know either." Hai Qing shook his head. "But I can tell you the first question."
"Someone once had this power."
"Who?" Shen Zhui asked suspiciously. "Brother Hai doesn't want to talk about a certain big figure in history, does he?"
"No." Hai Qing shook his head and said.
"It's King Liang."
"Or the former Pingxi General Xia Wudao."
"The rise of King Xia Wudao of Liang was very short. In less than a hundred years, he basically pacified the western part and opened up most of the territory of Liang Kingdom today. Through this, he achieved the throne."
"What?" Shen Zhui was shocked. "Brother Hai is saying that King Liang is a remnant of Daxia?"
"This may not be true, it may just be a coincidence." Hai Qing shook his head.
"However, when the King of Liang was conquering the current territory of the Liang Kingdom, he escaped from desperate situations several times. He was helped by mysterious power and turned the danger into safety."
"At that time, only Daxia Academy in this territory had the ability to do this."
"Someone has discovered that King Liang once entered the secret realm of the Daxia Academy before he pacified the western region for the last time."
"Originally, although King Liang was extremely talented and extremely powerful, he was still not invincible."
"But after he came out, his combat power was the best among the kings!"
"However, the King of Liang was a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his pacification of the western region was a huge contribution. No one cares whether the Great Xia Academy helped him."
"Hundreds of years have passed and no one will care about this."
Shen Zhui took a deep breath and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. He found that the mountain of Prince Liang's Mansion was far more powerful than he had imagined.
If all this is true, then the power of King Liang is a bit too strong.
"How can I believe what you say?" After a while, Shen Zhui said. "Besides, why did you tell me? You can wait for the next time the secret realm opens."
"I can't confirm it," Hai Qing shook his head. "But I do have a feasible plan in hand."
"As for waiting for the next opening of the secret realm..."
"Not every time a secret realm opens, you can wait until the 'Holy Word Mountain' secret realm."
"And the increase in strength in the secret realm is irreversible." Hai Qing said with a bitter smile. "Brother Shen, anyone who can obtain this kind of information is a genius among geniuses."
"This means that in the secret realm, you will at least get a very high official rank."
"Do you think those real power was given to you for free?"
"The cultivation speed of geniuses is extremely fast. Once we go out, we will immediately improve several levels. Because in the past three years, we have actually made a breakthrough, but we can't display it, and we can rarely even sense it.
This power will at least allow the top group of people to cross the threshold of the third level of magical power."
"This breakthrough has no side effects. On the contrary, Daxia Academy has spent a lot of money."
"But at the same time, we also lost the next opportunity to enter." Hai Qing said helplessly.
"Of course, you can also harm yourself in the Cave Heaven World and let your cultivation level regress."
"But not every time you can encounter the secret realm of Shengyan Mountain."
"If you harm yourself a few more times, no matter how strong a genius you are, he will probably become a waste."
Shen Zhui immediately shook his head, there was really nothing he could do about it.
If someone gives you a breakthrough with great benefits and no side effects, what else can you say?
As for self-destruction of the cave world, this is something that would never even be thought of.
The wounds in the Dongtian World are very difficult to repair. You need to know that his teacher, Venerable Ciyun, and the Venerable Master from the Witch Demon Cult tried their best to repair the damage in the Dongtian World, but in the end they failed.
When a cultivator reaches the realm of supernatural powers, the divine soul and the cave world are the most important.
Losing part of the cave world is equivalent to losing part of the understanding of the original rules, which is difficult to recover.
"As for why I told Brother Shen," Hai Qing said with a smile. "First of all, Prince Liang's Mansion is already powerful enough. I don't want to see people in Prince Liang's Mansion get this kind of thing. It's better to give Brother Shen benefits than to others, and you It is the most promising to succeed.”
"Besides, I didn't give it to Brother Shen for nothing."
Shen Zhui took a deep look at Hai Qing.
Hai Qing's reason may not necessarily reveal an intention, that is, someone in the central court is dissatisfied with Prince Liang's palace.
In other words, Hai Qing, Long Qie, Wei Tianlong, and Ji Chang, this group of people from Kyoto... came with a mission!
"What do you want?" Shen asked. He didn't delve into the other party's motives and directly asked about the conditions. It would be better for him not to ask more questions about this now.
Since it was an exchange, he believed that Hai Qing could not give it to him in vain.
"I want benefits." Hai Qing smiled.
"If Brother Shen can ensure that Long Qie and I enter the top five on the merit list, then I will definitely devote myself to the method of obtaining the prince's imperial edict."
"Or maybe Brother Shen can come up with a treasure that makes Long Qie and I excited, otherwise I won't be able to go back and explain to my father."
Shen Zhui narrowed his eyes slightly.
These two conditions are a bit tricky.
He didn't think twice about the treasure.
He believed that the treasures on his body, apart from Yinglong's essence and blood, probably had nothing to attract the two of them.
As for military exploits.
Long Qieben is fourth on the list of meritorious deeds, but he does not have the upper hand now. If he continues, he will be surpassed by those behind him sooner or later.
Hai Qing is even further back, ranked thirteenth. If he wants them to rise up, he must make significant concessions.
This will inevitably harm the interests of his own people. Lan Chenguangbi's achievements in defeating Jiang Tianming will have to be slowed down.
If the divine contract is still in effect, then that's fine.
He believed that convincing Lan Chenguang and others would not be a problem. At most, he could just compensate them with some treasures afterwards.
But the problem is that if the divine contract is invalid, there is no way to determine whether the information given by these two people is true or false.
There are only three months left until the end. Once the decision is made, it is difficult to go back on the deployment adjustment.
In other words, he has to gamble.
"Brother Shen, how do you think about it?" Hai Qing asked with a smile.
He was very confident that Shen Zhui would agree.
"Brother Hai." Shen Zhui looked at Hai Qing with a smile and said, "Brother Hai, have you ever killed anyone?"
"Huh?" Hai Qing was stunned, not knowing why Shen Zhui suddenly asked this question.
When he raised his head and looked into Shen Zhui's eyes, he met the other person's deep gaze.
Hai Qing subconsciously became wary, as if there was some kind of power watching him.
However, Hai Qing found that there seemed to be nothing. To be on the safe side, he only came with a clone, so even if Shen Zhui wanted to rob it, it would be impossible.
He could completely make the clone collapse the moment Shen Zhui made his move.
As for soul searching and fantasy, that's even more of a joke.
Not to mention that Shen Zhui was not a practitioner of illusion, even if he really was, no one could search the soul of his son who was a great transporter.
However...Hai Qing just had a bad feeling!
This feeling slowly disappeared until Shen Zhui looked away.
Using the Eye of Deception to get what he wanted, Shen Zhui couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Hai, can you be the only one in the top five?"
"No, Long Qie and I hold this information together." Hai Qing shook his head. "If we want to exchange, we have to ensure that both of us are in the top five."
"Brother Hai, if that's the case, let me think about it. The cooperation is not urgent for the time being." Shen Zhui said with a smile. "There are many treasures in Kyoto, and there are many anecdotes. Brother Hai can stay here, I'm fine." So I can always ask for help from Brother Hai."
"..." Hai Qing was stunned for a moment.
Has the negotiation collapsed or has it been settled?
Who has time to talk nonsense to you?
"Hey, Brother Shen, why don't we discuss it again..." Hai Qing became a little anxious.
"Brother Lan, take Brother Hai down to have a rest." Shen Zhui smiled slightly and motioned to Lan Chenguang.
"Brother Hai, please." Lan Chenguang stretched out his hand towards Hai Qing and said.
"Shen Zhui, you'd better hurry up. There are more than one person looking for this solution. Wei Tianlong and Ji Chang, they won't give up..."
Watching Hai Qing go out, Shen Zhui's heart started beating loudly.
This big secret is hidden in a place that is easily overlooked!
"The inner court of the royal city..." Shen Zhui's eyes flickered and he immediately disappeared into the main hall.
