Chapter 522: The Circular Secret Realm! The vacancy of the Imperial Observatory is filled!

Chapter 522: The Circular Secret Realm! The vacancy of the Imperial Observatory is filled!

The dragon soars into the sky.

Dahuang's body stretched across the sky.

A group of seven people stood on Dahuang's body and looked at the high mountain not far away.

Su Ping no longer had the same surprise as before.

All were speechless and surprised.

When Long Er called, he almost thought he had heard it wrong.

But now it seems that Long Er was right.
In other words, it was quite remarkable that Long Er, the former deputy team leader of the Dragon Group, could take time out of his busy schedule to call him and inform him.

Because at this moment, on the top of the mountain, the Jiaolong was smoking and flying quickly towards the outside of the mountain.

On the other side, there was a giant fiery red dragon, and on the dragon stood several frightened figures.

Su Ping frowned and looked at the mountain in the distance.

Such a huge mountain, but it seems that there hasn't been any change?
It’s just that there is an indescribable feeling in the air.

Soon, Su Ping understood where this feeling came from.

As Dahuang approached, an indescribable pressure and gravity appeared on everyone.

Even Da Huang's flying speed dropped sharply.

What exactly is going on?

Fortunately, the mountain was not far from Su Ping and others.

The smoking Jiaolong and the giant fire dragon slowly approached each other. Long Er, whose mental fluctuations were extremely unstable, said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Master Su, the situation was a bit sudden, and even I didn't react immediately!"

Su Ping nodded: "Leave first, are you okay? What happened?"

He turned his head and took a look at the Zhang brothers who had fainted on the fire dragon's back and Huang Tianbing who had a broken arm. His pupils shrank.

However, Long Er waved his hand:

"No need. It was the cracks in the fine space and the sudden strong gravity. There is no real enemy, and it has stabilized now."

At the same time, after Long Er and the others approached, Meng Yao, who had summoned the Thunder Winged Demon, also stood at the edge of the sky and nodded:

"There is no strong aura of a ferocious beast, but the spatial fluctuations are extremely unstable, and the gravity is extremely weird! What on earth is going on at the Imperial Observatory? Old Huang, you have been the director for so many years, how come this problem still occurs?"

Huang Tianbing opened his mouth but didn't say anything. His face turned pale due to massive blood loss.

Fortunately, although Meng Yao scolded, he still made a move with his hand, and a strange starfish appeared beside him. The starfish shone a strange light on Huang Tianbing, and the latter's face recovered immediately.

However, the broken arm showed no sign of growing back. Meng Yao took back his pet and said:

"Your injury is attached to space energy. Once you are done, hurry back to the capital to seek treatment from Yu Sheng. If you delay for a few more days, it will be difficult for you to recover."

Huang Tianbing nodded. At the same time, several people slowly landed on the ground. Zhu Hong then asked:
"what's the situation?"

Huang Tianbing finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse:

"Excuse me for making a fool of myself. This is my dereliction of duty at the Imperial Observatory!"

Su Ping raised his eyebrows:

"Huang Jianzheng, the Gravel Mountains you mentioned several times when you were in the inheritance secret realm of the Immortal Saint Gu Sansi in Huaiyang Province are here today? So it's so serious? But, wasn't that two months ago? It's not over yet?"

Huang Tianbing grinned as if he was crying:
"Master Su Peiyu, it's more than just an endless process. It has been going on for half a year since April or May this year, on and off. I, the director of the Imperial Observatory, have even come here in person. This is where almost all the members of the Imperial Observatory in Jianghai and Huaiyang were killed."

Su Ping frowned and looked at the mountain in the distance.

No matter what, he is also a member of the Imperial Observatory.

Seeing how Huang Tianbing was being tortured, he felt uncomfortable.

He waved his hand: "What kind of secret place is this?"

Huang Tianbing shook his head: "I don't know."

Su Ping continued to ask: "Which senior beastmaster in history left this secret realm?"

Huang Tianbing shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then what attributes do the pets in this secret realm have? Can we infer this from this?"

Huang Tianbing continued to shake his head: "I don't know..."

He was about to continue speaking, but when he saw the unfriendly looks from everyone, he quickly changed the subject:
"I'm not sure, but it should be a secret realm of earth and gold."

Before Su Ping could speak, Zhu Hong on the side said speechlessly:

"So many people died in your Imperial Observatory, and there's not even a single clue?"

Huang Tianbing was helpless:
"Master Zhu, it's not that we are useless, it's just that we can't find the entrance to this secret realm. Every time the space fluctuates, dozens of space entrances are rare. One time, hundreds of them appeared. Space detectors are useless against this thing! We can only send people in with equipment to check.

Then after a while, they all disappeared, and some of the comrades who went in never came out again.”

After hearing this, Qin Erlong frowned:
"In that case, let's not worry about it for now. It won't be too late to wait until the spatial fluctuations stabilize!"

Huang Tianbing nodded:
“In fact, the situation in the Gravel Mountains is not just happening this year. There have been some fluctuations in the past few years. However, even if a space entrance appears, it only lasts for a few seconds to a few minutes at most during monitoring.

At the same time, we just squeezed out some things. According to experience, this was a sign of the emergence of a large secret realm, so we just waited without moving or paying any attention to it. At most, we found some things that fell at the entrance of the space in the secret realm and checked them. We found that most of them were just some useless rocks.

As a result, I don’t know what happened this year. Starting from April and May, this space became extremely unstable.

The Imperial Observatory doesn’t want to keep an eye on it all the time, but a few days ago, I came back from Yunnan and Tibet and received a notice that an emperor-level fine steel stone king had actually run out of here! We have to keep an eye on it..."

Meng Yao asked again:

"It's so dangerous. Have you requested support?"

Huang Tianbing was helpless:
"I did apply, but neither the association nor the legion gave me a specific response."

At this point, Huang Tianbing was so angry that his teeth itched:
"Damn it, they all went to my place to beg for money and had a great time before, but now when it comes to this kind of danger, none of them are willing to let their men take risks.

When the situation was pacified before, everyone wanted to shove people in here, but now the world has changed, and everyone treats me like a plague god."

Su Ping frowned slightly.

He witnessed with his own eyes how busy Huang Tianbing was during this period.

Nowadays, it is unknown how many members of the Imperial Observatory have died, but looking at the director of the Observatory, who has lost one arm, we can guess a little.

Then there are the Zhang brothers, who were previously registered as unscrupulous people, but were forcibly summoned to surrender. It is conceivable how serious the shortage of manpower is.

Su Ping asked directly:

"Didn't you tell Lord Shenglong about this?"

But soon, he reacted: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

He is a little bit reluctant to eat meat.

The entire Dragon Kingdom is so big that the Holy Dragon Legend cannot do everything by himself.

Not everyone can be like him, who can see this person anytime and anywhere, contact this person and even give him suggestions.

He faced everyone's strange looks, feeling somewhat helpless. Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Hong nodded:

"The secret realms have appeared too frequently in the past two years, and they are extremely dangerous. It's really not easy for Huang to be in this position. We really need to think of a solution."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Tianbing's eyes turned red.

Who knows his difficulties and sadness?
During this period, the number of members of the Imperial Observatory who died was more than that of the past ten to twenty years combined.

However, as a department with good lucrative jobs, the Imperial Observatory was responsible for collecting heritage resources from secret realms, which was indeed a good job, but it also offended too many people and made too many people jealous.

I don’t know what’s going on in the world nowadays, there are only a few wild secret places in a year, but now they are popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain, in an endless stream.

And the dangers are countless.

Some people are taking advantage of the situation and are just waiting to see what happens. The situation is still relatively stable inside. If those people send more people over to make arrangements, it would probably make the situation even worse.

If something earth-shattering happens that affects the peace and tranquility of ordinary people, the one who will take the blame will be him, the supervisor who has long been the target of public criticism.

Su Ping thought for a moment:
"Forget it, I'll call and talk about it. Apart from anything else, even if there is no Saint Spirit-level senior responsible for direct management, the local legions must cooperate. Once chaos occurs, it will be bad."

Everyone nodded. It was naturally the best if Su Ping was willing to come forward. Others might not know, but Zhu Hong and Meng Yao knew Su Ping's weight and say in that person's position.

Meng Yao also took a look at the mountain:
"Okay, I'll go over there and see what the situation is and whether there's any danger. Long Er, take a look at the extent of the damage to the Jiaolong."

After all the arrangements were completed, Su Ping walked aside, took out the special satellite phone, and dialed the most special number on it.

"Hello, Su Ping? Why did you think of calling me today? Is there any progress in raising the dragon bamboo?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite cheerful.

Some time ago, although the appearance of the dragon bamboo was not announced, Su Ping also told this person, who attached great importance to it and asked Su Ping to pay more attention to its planting.

Su Ping also smiled slightly:
"I've already let Xiao Hui and the other three try. We've only just started breeding them, so there's no way we can expect any progress that quickly! This is what's going on. The Imperial Observatory..."

Before he could finish his words, the voice on the other end of the phone interrupted him directly:
"By the way, Su Ping, last month, I heard from Meng Yao that you went out to sea together, right? And you got the news and whereabouts of the Heart of Gold?"

Su Ping was stunned, and then he did not rush to talk about the Imperial Observatory, but talked about the whole process of this incident:

"Yes, that's right... I thought Senior Meng and Senior Wu had already told you... last time..."

When this matter was mentioned, the voice of the Holy Dragon Legend became serious:

"Information sources outside have confirmed that a guest from across the ocean has indeed arrived from the Land of Sakura.

The Heart of Gold has indeed taken some actions, and has extended its actions to the neighboring island country. This is an opportunity. Even now, we have not figured out the purpose of the Heart of Gold.

So, what does the little girl of the Dong family think? If so, she might have to go on a business trip to the Kingdom of Sakura next?"

Su Ping was stunned again, not knowing how he ended up talking about Dong Muyun. However, this was normal. The matter of the Heart of Gold was indeed more important. He could only suppress his anxiety:

"Sister Yun takes this matter very seriously and is willing to contribute her part to the Dragon Nation! She has said more than once that she is willing to find out the truth!"

"Can you guarantee that her intention in going there is to contribute to the Dragon Nation and obtain intelligence?"

The man's question made him stunned, but Su Ping thought about it and said:

"The company's focus is on me. Sister Yun holds shares, but without me, Pingyun has no meaning or value. My thoughts are Sister Yun's thoughts! I can guarantee that."

"Haha, that's good, don't worry, for your sake, the Dark Dragon Kingdom will protect her safety to the greatest extent. But as for you, don't wander around like this next time, and don't dare to go near the Endless Sea. It's a relief."

At this point, Holy Dragon Legend spoke again: "However, I didn't expect that the effect of the World Tree's leaves would be like that. It can be considered a small gain. Also, Connor told you about it when he went to the Heart of All Souls last time, right?"

Su Ping nodded: "Yes."

“Although your involvement in this matter has little to do with it, but since you’ve chosen that time, let’s do something big, and you better save your face in public!

Next year, let all the beastmasters in the world know that only in Dragon Country can they have the opportunity to keep up with the pace and standards of the top breeders! "

Legend of the Holy Dragon said lightly. He was extremely confident in Su Ping.

After talking to this person for a long time, Su Ping finally got to the point:
"Senior, do you have any opinion on the Imperial Observatory?"

"Qin Tianjian, tell me, what do you think?"

Holy Dragon Legend did not seem to be surprised at Su Ping's words, and even expected this scene to happen.

"Is such that……"

Su Ping recounted the situation again. Saint Dragon Legend did not speak on the other end of the phone. He just hummed lightly and then asked:
"In that case, what do you want to do?"

Su Ping said:
"I think, judging from the current situation, the secret realms appear too frequently, and compared to before, they are too unstable. Huang Jianzheng's strength cannot fully guarantee the safety of the secret realms. We need a powerful high-level being to take charge.
At the same time, certain powers are needed in various places, and in some special situations, local forces must provide certain cooperation..."

"Hmm... that makes sense. The latter is easy to say, but as for the former, Su Ping, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Holy Dragon Legend continued to ask indifferently.

Su Ping scratched his head: "This... I haven't thought about it yet."

"Haha, kid, as for the high-level beastmasters you mentioned, the Holy Spirit level, most of them are doing their own jobs in the country now. There really isn't a particularly good candidate in the Imperial Observatory!"

The man's voice laughed.

Su Ping frowned slightly.

He glanced at Meng Yao who was walking away. Everyone has their own job? Is there no particularly good candidate?

Before he could think about it, Shenglong Legend spoke again on the phone:
"Okay, I've agreed to the second thing. I will also, in your name, tell the heads of various places that if the Imperial Observatory needs help, they can help as much as possible.

As for your desire to find a Holy Spirit-level being in charge of the Imperial Observatory, I can't help you with that, but I remember that you seem to be from the Imperial Observatory, right? I'll leave this matter to you.

You go find someone who can take charge, and then just let me know when the time comes."

After saying that, he actually hung up the phone.

Su Ping put down the phone, frowned and fell into deep thought.

What does this mean?
Let him find it himself? Although he did know quite a few Holy Spirit-level beastmasters, not to mention Sang Sheng, Leng Ye and the like, there were also some who he had exchanged contact information with before, but not so closely.

But how can I find it myself?

He didn't understand, but he knew that the person on the phone had a deep meaning behind his words.

So, what is the deeper meaning? What does this person mean?
At the same time, in the imperial capital, Dragon City.

In the Hall of Time, the man put down the phone and looked at the book in his hand, as if Su Ping's call did not cause any fluctuation in him.

On the other hand, the strange creature with half a human head and a dragon body yawned and glanced at the man:
"What are you doing? Are you in such a hurry? Are you going to force this kid?"

The man ignored her and continued flipping through the book in his hands.

This book, too, is not some ancient cultivation method, nor is it anything else, but rather a special notebook.

The clippings above are some newspaper-like intelligence materials from more than 20 years ago.

Quite a few signs of age.

Every scrap of newspaper clippings seemed to be covered in blood:

'In the year 203 of the new calendar, the Luo family of Hedong was destroyed. The Luo family was inherited from the middle period of the Liang Dynasty, with a history of about years. They specialized in petting water elemental spirits... During this period, a total of beastmasters were dispatched... and the Wolf Saint took action personally...'

'In the year 201 of the new calendar, the Xu family of Minyue was destroyed. The Xu family had been passed down since the beginning of the new calendar, with a history of about two hundred years. Their specialty pet was the Moon Swallowing Dog...'

"New calendar year 204..."

Soon, the man's eyes were fixed on a paper cutting.

'In the new calendar year 204, the Jianghai Dong family branch was cut off, and all positions in the main line were removed. The Dong family has been passed down since the end of the Liang Dynasty, with a history of about years. They specialize in space-related pets such as the Corridor Mirror. The family has special tool-type pets, such as the Holy Spirit-level Heavenly Reflection Mirror...'

After looking at it for a few times, the man withdrew his gaze and finally spoke:

"This brat is too lazy, and most of the time he doesn't even realize how much influence he has. I just want him to get familiar with it."

The man paused and shook his head.

"This kid is still lazy? The appearance of this dragon-raising bamboo, if all goes well, can increase the combat effectiveness of Dragon City several times faster.

Not to mention the future potential of dragon bamboo cultivation, there are new discoveries almost every few months. It would be great if all the breeders in the Breeder Association were so lazy. "

Zhulong curled his lips aside.

"Are you in a hurry?"

The man's eyes gradually became deeper:

"I am indeed a little anxious. I have to be anxious in this situation."

Zhulong frowned:

"You are now at the tenth level of Legend. The Holy Dragon and the White Tiger are both here, and the others are not much behind. Judging from your lifespan, you will be safe for more than a hundred years. Why take the risk?"

The man smiled:
"A hundred years? I don't even want to wait ten years! Master Zhu, don't you know that it is better to move forward than to stop? I couldn't wait any longer.

Especially in this changing and turbulent world, if I am late again, how can I protect this country in this era? ! Protect all the people behind me and Dragon City? "

Zhulong pursed his lips, and a complex expression appeared on his human-like dragon face:
"Xuan, thank you for your hard work."

The man didn't care and then focused his gaze on the page again. At the same time, a dragon seal slowly condensed between his eyebrows, like a five-clawed dragon about to fly into the sky.

……

Su Ping put down the phone.

Frowning in thought.

At the same time, the Thunder Wing Demon returned,
Meng Yao jumped down from the sky and shrugged:

“The frequency of space cracks has indeed decreased, but as Huang Jianzheng said, space is still extremely unstable. Countless space entrances with unknown destinations have appeared, and a real space vortex has not been fully condensed. The situation is very complicated.

And the gravity is extremely exaggerated! Even for a thunder-winged demon, the flying speed will be greatly reduced. If it is some low-level birds, I am afraid they can't even move. "

Su Ping nodded, but ignored it. He was actually not very interested in this secret realm itself.

Mainly as Huang Tianbing said, from the perspective of Longguo and the Imperial Observatory, the problem is indeed quite big.

And at this moment, he finally understood what the Holy Dragon Legend and what he meant.

He thought for a moment and called another phone number, but this number was from a special life form.

"Hey, Su Ping, how come you have time to call me? Have you run out of teleportation mirrors?"

A somewhat exaggerated voice sounded.

It was none other than the Dong family's only existing Holy Spirit-level pet, the Mirror of All Heavens.

Su Ping smiled slightly:
"Master Jing, I want to ask you for a favor. Do you have time?"

Twenty minutes later, a space wave flashed, and a palm-sized mirror appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

"Senior Jingzu, long time no see!"

Su Ping smiled and greeted the mirror.

Inside the mirror, a pink-haired 2D girl appeared again: "Hello Su Ping, and everyone from Dragon Country!"

Everyone looked at the mirror.

The only remaining Holy Spirit-level guardian of the Dong family!
It is also the only appearance by which the Dong family seems to be able to maintain its status as an aristocratic family.

After the greetings, Su Ping finally arrived at the top of the mountain with the Mirror of the Heavens.

As expected, just by getting close, Su Ping felt an indescribable sense of oppression. This kind of gravity pressure was extremely uncomfortable!
Fortunately, the Mirror of the Heavens is still powerful.

After hearing Su Ping's request, the Mirror of the Heavens did not refuse.

Su Ping's inference was not wrong.

The secret realm is directly related to space-related abilities.

The Holy Spirit-level beings of the Space Department have a keener sense of the secret realm than anyone else.

It is also more convenient.

Under Huang Tianbing's shocked gaze.

The palm-sized surface of the Mirror of All Heavens only slightly locked onto one of the spatial vortices above the mountain.

Within the mirror, the space was actually passed directly, and the scene behind the space channel came into view.

This is on top of a mountain.

"Huh? This secret place is quite interesting!"

The voice of Mirror Saint came.

Without Su Ping's urging, it quickly looked at the other entrances again, but this time, behind the entrance was a broken and dark space crack.

"The space is very fragmented. No wonder the little guy from the Imperial Observatory can't get in. This secret realm is extremely special and weird! It doesn't seem to be single, but more like something is broken!"

When the Mirror Saint's voice was spoken, the mirror suddenly shone brightly, covering all the entrances to the space vortexes on the entire mountain.

And the next moment, something happened that Huang Tianbing had not expected.

In this mirror image, everything is completely reflected.

The heavens are shining!

This name is fully embodied in Mirror Saint.

After countless space whirlpools, a secret realm appeared that seemed to be broken but was slowly merging.

However, the secret place in the picture is still extremely simple.

In fact, there was no difference between the ground under their feet.

Yes, it is still a mountain!

There is only one mountain and a staircase that seems to be built by humans.

The staircase stretched out for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of steps.

Too high to count.

Other than that, not much.

In this secret realm, there is really nothing!
There is only this mountain in front of me.

Of course, there are also some earth and gold elemental elf pets on this mountain.

But the number is not large.

And it was quite strange that they all stood there motionless, as if they were asleep.

What kind of world is this?
However, before he could take a closer look, the image on Mirror Saint slowly disappeared.

The pink-haired 2D girl appears again:
"Su Ping, this secret realm is a bit special. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this secret realm is relatively stable. Although its space seems to be broken, the space itself is extremely stable."

Su Ping was a little confused by this: "Senior, what does this mean?"

The girl in the mirror scratched her head:
“It means that this secret realm itself is broken and was split from a special world. There are traces of this at the edge of the space.

This is why this secret realm has changed in today's world. After these secret realms attached to the world appeared, the rough traces of broken edges of the space caused the space entrances that served as "doors" to become extremely scattered.

For example, if it is a leaky house, the foundation may be solid, but the doors and windows have been broken, so the wind keeps blowing in. And if there is no external interference, it will probably take some time to recover. "

Su Ping roughly understood.

He opened his mouth, and the next second, a space barrier appeared instantly, surrounding Su Ping and the Mirror of the Heavens.

Meng Yao frowned, keeping everyone out. However, he felt relieved when he saw that there was no change between Su Ping and the Mirror of the Heavens, and that they were still just talking.

Su Ping did not expect that this Mirror Saint would suddenly take action.

"Senior, this is..."

"I have something to tell you."

Su Ping was stunned: "That's great, I also have something I want to ask you for help!"

Mirror Saint suddenly said:
"This secret realm, Su Ping, is probably not simple! If my guess is correct, this should be a recyclable entrance to the secret realm!
Moreover, this is at least a secret realm left by a Holy Spirit-level Beast Tamer. If possible, I can repair the entrance and even move the entrance to another location!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Ping's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"

"The entrance to this secret realm can be transferred to your Heart of All Spirits. Of course, it will take some time and a certain amount of resources."

That’s really the case!
Su Ping blinked. As his realm and abilities improved, his horizons also improved. The entrance to the secret realm shifted, and he saw a lot.

He saw the Magic City College, the Beast Tamer Association and the Jianghai College.

However, the more he knew Su Ping, the more he understood that it was not difficult to move the entrance to the secret realm.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the secret realm that can be transferred and used as a transfer is too rare and precious.

He didn't expect that this thing in front of him could actually work?

"Of course, no problem. When the time comes, I will definitely satisfy you in terms of how many resources you need. If you or the Dong family have any needs, you can also say that you have helped me a lot!"

"Haha, I'm just giving you a heads up. You can communicate with the Imperial Observatory when the time comes, but it will take some time!

Well, what do you want from me?"

The reflecting mirror of the heavens spoke.

Su Ping pursed his lips:

"It is indeed about the Imperial Observatory! It is like this, I just talked to Lord Shenglong,
I decided to improve the domestic status of the Imperial Observatory. In addition to the cooperation of various local governments, the most important thing is for me to select a Holy Spirit-level being from the Imperial Observatory to take charge!

You also know that many of the Holy Spirit-level people in the country have their own duties, but looking at the overall situation, your understanding of space is probably unmatched!
So I think if you come to take charge of the Imperial Observatory, then you deserve the title! You and the Dong family will also be doing your part for the Dragon Kingdom! What do you think? "

Dong family, do your part for Longguo?

The Mirror of All Heavens froze in its reflection, apparently not expecting Su Ping to say such a thing.

Since twenty years ago, the few remaining beastmaster families have never touched the powerful departments of Dragon Kingdom again.

And what did it hear before its eyes?
Su Ping invited him to the Imperial Observatory, and even to take charge of it as the face of the strongest combat force?
For a moment, it was really confused.

"Su Ping, this..."

Su Ping blinked:

"Don't worry, you have seen the situation in the Imperial Observatory. Huang Jianzheng has long been eager to find a big backer to take charge! Your ability is beyond doubt! Moreover, ordinary secret realms will not delay you. At the same time, you have a certain degree of autonomy in them.
You also know that although there are many secret realms that have appeared in recent years and there are some risks, the rewards are also huge. When the time comes, you can handle it as appropriate."

The Reflecting Mirror of the Heavens also fell into deep thought.

It has lived for so many years, and when it uttered these words, it was able to keenly capture the special situation.

However, precisely because of this, it did not immediately agree to anything, but nodded:

"I need to go back and discuss this matter with the Dong family."

"That's natural."

The spatial barrier dispersed and everyone was confused because this Holy Spirit-level Mirror Ancestor seemed a little absent-minded.

What did these two secretly talk about?
Others may not know, but Mirror Saint knows it very clearly.

Because it just reacted.

If it agrees, it will take charge of the Imperial Observatory as its own pet.

So, was the decision to "give" this special recyclable secret realm to this kid just now a bit hasty?
