Otherworld Cultivation Legend

At this time, Ye Haotian nervously helped Xiao Linger refine the Body Tempering Stone Emulsion, while Hai Qingxue was discussing with a man in black in the imperial palace of the Dongming Empire.

Today she is wearing a blue brocade gown, she looks only 27 or [-] years old, and she exudes a distinctive mature charm!The hair is high, the eyebrows are lightly swept, the phoenix eyes are lacquered, the nose is bright and the lips are cherry, that beautiful moon face looks glamorous and dignified!

"My lord, my subordinates have discovered that there are still people secretly investigating that thing."

"That thing is extremely confidential, and even the royal family knows about it. In the entire Dongming Empire, I am afraid that there is no family with a history of more than 5000 years. It is impossible for them to know the existence of that thing." Hai Qingxue shook her head and said.

In the ancient times, there were three wars between humans and demons, and the last one was the most grand, because the powerful demons invaded Tianfang Continent, including humans, barbarians, orcs, elves, dwarves, winged humans, and some other species Smaller alien races are all involved in the war against the demons.

The war lasted for hundreds of years before finally defeating the demons and making them return to the abyss.

After that catastrophe, whether it was human beings or other races, countless powerful people fell, and many previous families and strong people were annihilated in the long river of history, and the overall strength of each race also dropped significantly as a result.

It is also for this reason that many exercises, martial arts, and magic are lost, and of course, many human skills in medicine and refining are also lost.

The skills of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts disappeared after that great war, but there are still reservations in those ancient families that survived the disaster and the super powers that have been passed down for more than ten thousand years. , then there must be such exercises, and they even have more secrets that the outside world does not have.

Since the war between humans and demons ten thousand years ago, the territory of Tianfang Continent has been re-divided. After the demons retreated to the abyss, conflicts broke out among humans, elves, and orcs due to competition for resources and living space.

Because the human race occupies the best land in the Tianfang Continent, it is also the most expansive and has the most abundant resources, so the orcs and the barbarians are very dissatisfied. They often have large-scale conflicts and even wars with humans, because they live in the Northern Territory , resource scarcity and harsh climate.

The history of the Dongming Empire can be traced back at most 5000 years ago. Before that, there were no three major empires in the Eastern Region. At that time, there were many countries, large and small, just like the Spring and Autumn Period.

After thousands of years of constant fighting, the Eastern Territory gradually formed the three major empires. It is said that they were established with the support of the three major academies respectively.

As we all know, there are four major academies in the Eastern Region, all of which were established just after the end of the Human-Devil War, and have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, so they are far superior to other families in the Eastern Region in terms of background and strength.However, if compared with those older forces and families in the Central Territory, it would pale in comparison.

Here I would like to mention that the imperial family of the Eastern Ming Empire, the Ming family, split from an ancient hermit family in the central region, the Shui clan, in ancient times. After the last war between humans and demons, they came to the eastern region. And established the Dongming Empire.

Like them, the Hai clan in Central Region is also a branch split from the Shui clan, but their history is even older, much longer than the Ming clan.

Because in the previous wars, those families were successively interrupted for one reason or another. It was not until the establishment of the Dongming Empire that a group of new families appeared, so the family history that has been handed down to the present will not exceed 5000 years.

"Although few families in Dongming Empire have a history of more than 5000 years, don't forget that there are two churches here, and the four major guilds, Tianbao Pavilion and Wanjin Alliance have also been here for more than ten thousand years. Forbid they don't know it exists."

"Oh? How did you see that?" Hai Qingxue asked.

"Last time, when this subordinate was ordered to reconnaissance the Chonghe Temple, he suddenly made a noise and alarmed the guards. There was no time to think about it. Later, my subordinates carefully recalled the situation and details at that time, and personally conducted a survey of the scene outside the Chonghe Hall, and found some clues."

"What's the situation?" Hai Qingxue raised her eyelids slightly and asked.

"The subordinates found that someone left traces at the scene, that is to say, there were probably other people there at the time, and this person probably went for that thing."

"I'm afraid this is a bit far-fetched. That thing can't be in the Chonghe Hall. At that time, Ming Shengtian met the two elders and Lu Gongfu there. It was probably to study the mysterious piece of jade. How could it be related to that thing?" Together. And now there is a fragment of Ocean Star, maybe they are going for it." Hai Qingxue judged.

"My lady's analysis is correct."

"Then do you think Ocean Star is more attractive, or is it more attractive to those forces?" Hai Qingxue asked suddenly.

"If it's purely based on fame, of course Ocean Star is more attractive, especially women." The man in black replied, and at the same time he secretly glanced at Hai Qingxue to see if there was any change in her expression. .

This is because Hai Qingxue is also a woman, and she is also full of strong hopes for Ocean Star.

"You keep talking."

"As far as I know, both the Holy See of Light and the Church of Darkness are secretly investigating that thing, because they must all know the value of that thing."

"You don't need to say that!" Hai Qingxue interrupted.

"Yes, yes, what this subordinate means is that their spies are active in Dongming City, and the activities are frequent. This kind of situation rarely happened in the past."

"Based on these alone, it still can't prove that they know that the thing is in the Dongming royal family, and their goal is probably the ocean star." Hai Qingxue shook her head.

"My subordinates once discovered that there were indeed people who were secretly operating in the palace long before the news of Ocean Star came out. It would be strange if their goal was Ocean Star. Ocean Star is not in the Palace, but in the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce. , then why are they paying so close attention to the palace?"

"What you said is worth noting." Hai Qingxue nodded slightly and said, "Can you confirm which forces those spies come from?"

"It seems that there is no one from the four major guilds or Dongming Academy. However, there is news from the Hai family in the imperial capital that the activities of the Mulan family have been frequent recently, and they have spies in the palace."

"It seems that Honduras is from the Mulan family. How much do you know about him?"

"This person is the teacher of Mulan Morning Star, and he rarely shows up. However, he seems to be related to the Shadow Church, and he may even be a member of the Shadow Church, but the strange thing is that no other Shadow Church has been found in Dongming City people."

"This shadow church is extremely mysterious. It seems to have appeared in ancient times, but for a long time, they have been extremely low-key, rarely active in the mainland, and even very few people know their existence." Hai Qingxue went on to the man in black words said.

"No one knows where their headquarters are, and no one knows what their strength is, but one thing is for sure, although they are called 'churches', compared with the four major churches, they are not real 'churches' , is just a name."

"Yes, if they are really 'church', then they must be like the Holy See of Light, the Church of Darkness, the Church of Nature, and the Church of Blood God, spreading their teachings and beliefs just to fool the ignorant." The man in black also said Agreed, in a tone full of contempt.

"But for some reason, the Shadow Church has suddenly become active in recent years, including the five domains in the east, west, north, south, and middle. They have appeared all over the continent, but their goal does not seem to be to compete for territory, and they still haven't spread anything. Doctrine, they are more interested in some relics and secret treasures."

"What the Holy Maiden said is that the clan has noticed this for a long time, and asked us to pay more attention to this secret organization and try to minimize conflicts with them."

"Then you said, does the Shadow Church also know about that thing?"

"It's very possible. Things like that and Ocean Star may be their targets." The man in black replied, "It is also rumored that in the Eastern Region, a small country was annexed by other countries not long ago, and the people behind it They were the pushers, but they didn’t control that country afterward, so it’s obvious that what they’re planning isn’t territory, but something else.”

"Since it's not for the territory, nor for the purpose of expanding and spreading the teachings, what is it that can make the huge shadow church so excited, and go to great lengths to support a country to destroy another country?" Hai Qingxue asked after a moment of contemplation.

The two countries she and the black-clothed population mentioned were the Kingdom of Carson and the Kingdom of Nice annexed by it, which was the homeland of Elizabeth and Cardiff.

"I'm afraid the Mulan family has joined the Shadow Church, and the royal family still doesn't know about it." Hai Qingxue sneered.

"I'm afraid that's the case, and my subordinates think so too." The man in black also gloated and said with a smile.

"Then do you also think that the Pan-Continental forces like Tianbao Pavilion, Wanjin Alliance, and Assassin Alliance will also be interested in that thing?" Hai Qingxue asked again, changing the subject.

"Of course they are very interested. Don't look at them under the banner of neutrality and keep saying that they will not participate in disputes between any forces, but that is only under certain circumstances. Or, they will still intervene in various disputes, and even use unscrupulous means."

"But they probably don't know that the Dongming royal family owns that thing, because they don't necessarily know the history and origin of the Dongming royal family." Hai Qingxue said.

"Then should we do something now?"

"You mean..." Hai Qingxue asked doubtfully.

"This subordinate is willing to take a risk." The man in black replied.

Hai Qingxue sneered, shook her head and said, "Do you have a way to enter the treasure house of the palace now, do you have a way to avoid those immortals?"

"Well, the subordinates know this too!"

Hai Qingxue nodded, and continued: "You know, we shouldn't show our faces right now! After all, there are still those old and immortal people in the palace, and if they are lured out of the mountain, then we will not be able to bear it! In addition, there are eyes and ears of other forces, and we cannot attract their attention, which is not conducive to obtaining that thing."
