Chapter 408 - 120 Zhao Jin, You Come Back to Us (Please Subscribe)_2
[You recall the scenes of that year, and a sigh of regret inevitably rises in your heart. If only you had seized the opportunity back then, to ascend to Sky-Man amidst the great chaos, perhaps now you would have a place among the many forces in the world.]
[But the past is unbearable to revisit, and it’s just a fleeting thought. What’s most important for you right now is to see if you can find that Secret Realm from back then.]
[Soon after the Secret Realm emerged that year, countless strong practitioners went to explore it. Quickly, a set of patterns was discerned, such as the Monkey Devil within the realm wouldn’t attack you unless you actively broke the wine jar, and if you smeared your body with Tri-color Grass as soon as you entered, those strange bugs couldn’t get close to you.
By following these two steps, not only could you roam the Secret Realm freely, but you could also emerge unscathed.]
[You’re confident that if that Secret Realm, which caused such great chaos, were to appear again, with your current Sky-Man cultivation, you’d surely gain many benefits from it.]
[Four-Star Task: Re-explore Five Daos Mountain.]
[Task Reward: Heavenly Dao Pill.]
The system’s voice, cold and devoid of emotion, dropped by Cheng Guang’s ear.
After hearing the new task released by the system, Cheng Guang’s eyes narrowed slightly, his heart filled with shock.
In the future world, the four great dynasties were no longer in existence, or to put it another way, even if they still existed, they were fragmented, no longer like the current situation where the four great dynasties balanced each other, with the smaller dynasties relying on them.
And the source of the future world’s chaos, the force that shattered the power structure, was merely a Secret Realm.
What kind of Secret Realm could it be, to draw the attention of the world’s strong practitioners?
The fact that even the top Sky-Men disappeared without a trace, resulting in a gap in the Four Directions Mortal World’s top combat power.
Such a Secret Realm must be extraordinary.
If it happened again, even he would not be able to stop the future’s great momentum. As long as the Secret Realm reappeared, it was very likely that chaos would ensue once more.
Even without King of South Ming, Great Zhou’s current status might not be preserved.
Thinking this, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Cheng Guang pondered for a moment, his gaze dropping to the system’s task reminder, specifically on the four words, "West Liang Women’s Country".
Upon seeing the words "West Liang Women’s Country", Cheng Guang’s pupils contracted slightly.
To him, the West Liang Women’s Country was all too familiar.
Considering the Red Robe Daoist he encountered in the Secret Realm last time, as well as the Douluo Palace, this West Liang Women’s Country seemed to also exist in his memory.
Beyond the West Liang Women’s Country, what shocked him even more was that Jiang Luojing might very well be the reincarnation of the Empress of West Liang Women’s Country.
It seemed that Jiang Luojing’s background was not small at all.
All were characters from ancient times.
However, why had these figures from the ancient era all faded into obscurity?
Even the locations from that period, some palaces, had shattered and turned into Secret Realms that drifted outside the world, only to reappear in the mortal realm under very special, very rare circumstances.
Cheng Guang’s brows furrowed slightly.
The sudden disappearance of these figures and the distinctive bloodlines of the World Royal Family...
There were too many unknowns in this world.
All manner of doubts led him to wonder if the World Royal Family’s emergence had something to do with these ancient beings.
From whom did his own ancient Great Xia God Emperor bloodline originate?
And who was this Great Xia God Emperor?
The more Cheng Guang thought about it, the more his head ached. He rubbed his temples wearily. Unable to find the answers, he stopped pondering, as everything he had come into contact with already exceeded his understanding.
Not to mention him, perhaps even some of the royal families in the world and many old-timers who had lived for hundreds of years, might not know the secrets of the ancient era at this time.
Cheng Guang pondered for a moment, turning his attention to the task reward offered by the system this time.
Heavenly Dao Pill.
Just from the name, one could tell it was some form of pill.
However, its exact effects were unknown.
He would have to wait until the system task was completed to find out.
Cheng Guang composed his mind and resumed his cultivation in earnest.
...
Time flew by.
Cheng Guang rode the Flying Boat back to Duke Zhen’s Mansion with the sunlight.
Today, Duke Zhen’s Mansion was different from the usual.
On a normal day, there would only be two guards at the gate, but today there were two more.
It was clear that these two were not guards from Duke Zhen’s Mansion. Although they were in plain clothes, the aura they exuded was not something ordinary people possessed.
"These are the guards from influential families, with notable martial cultivation."
Cheng Guang knew that these guards had significant backgrounds, probably indicating visitors had arrived.
Cheng Guang glanced at the new guards without asking much, his Flying Boat hanging above Duke Zhen’s Mansion, and he disembarked directly from the boat.
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang followed Cheng Guang down from the Flying Boat and landed beside him.
At this moment, Qian Siyuan was slightly frowning, his features still revealing a bit of worry.
"Princely Heir, we haven’t completed the task ordered by Your Majesty and returned directly. If Your Majesty blames us later, it will be difficult to explain," he said.
Cheng Guang, more relaxed than Qian Siyuan, smiled and replied, "Qian, let’s leave the matter as it is for now. That survivor from Great Chu is either undetectable by anyone, or if found, is too powerful to confront."
