My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

For Cheng Zhihai,

His death was acceptable,

but Cheng Guang absolutely could not come to any harm.

He was preparing to lay his cards on the table with Emperor Zhou of the Great Zhou and have a thorough discussion, but now such an incident occurred.

Cheng Zhihai could not fathom what Emperor Zhou was thinking at this moment.

If the emperor could strike at Cheng Guang this time, perhaps he would again.

Cheng Guang survived this time.

But what about next time?

Could he survive again?

Everything was filled with uncertainty.

Cheng Zhihai slowly clenched his fist tightly, then suddenly relaxed it.

Cheng Zhihai shook his head, "I won’t go in, Guanger, you go back first."

Having said this, Cheng Zhihai took a step and swept towards the direction where the Secret Realm had appeared.

At the same time,

numerous Bureau of the Lamp constables also emerged from the great hall of the Capital city.

Cheng Guang watched Cheng Zhihai leave, pondered for a moment, then steered the Flying Boat towards Duke Zhen’s Mansion.

He couldn’t enter this Secret Realm, but he could.

However, he couldn’t bring Ning Qianxue and Qing Luan with him.

Even though Cheng Guang knew how to preserve himself in the Secret Realm, he didn’t know what might happen there. Read new adventures at empire

The more people he brought, the more concerns he would have.

Cheng Guang steered the Flying Boat to hover above Duke Zhen’s Mansion, and after everyone disembarked, he didn’t enter the mansion but instead instructed Qing Luan to arrange accommodations for Ning Qianxue.

He then summoned Qin Beifeng and swept towards the location of the Secret Realm.

He might not bring others, but he couldn’t leave behind Qin Beifeng, a peak Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm expert.

Below the Heavenly Human Realm, Qin Beifeng was almost an invincible existence.

Although amidst a host of Sky-Men, he might not count for much, he could still play a crucial role.

Once Cheng Guang and Qin Beifeng arrived at the location of the Secret Realm, they found it was a plain.

Wild grass and shrubs were overgrown, and some wild dogs tucked their tails between their legs, huddling and trembling because of the aura of the strong surrounding them.

The sun was high in the sky, the heavens cloudless, and hardly a breeze stirred. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The air carried a hint of dry heat.

It was uncertain whether this was due to the scorching sun or if the air was heated by the convergence of so many people.

The closer Cheng Guang got to the Secret Realm, the more he could see that the anomalies around the Secret Realm hadn’t dissipated for a long time. The air rippled like water, radiating waves around the Secret Realm continuously.

Emperor Zhou, Li Longhu, and other dynasties’ emperors and Sky-Men, all occupied the high skies.

They watched the Secret Realm with eyes shining with divine light, keenly observing, and a fleeting greed and desire appeared within them.

This emotion emerged for a mere second before they quickly suppressed it.

Among the world, Sky-Men were already supreme beings.

Even if some Sky-Men were neither royal nor related to the royal family, once their cultivation reached the Sky-Man level, the wealth of the world meant almost nothing to them.

Very few things in the mortal realm could incite even a hint of greed in a Sky-Man.

Yet, this Secret Realm could.

Merely the trace of aura and fragrance that leaked out was enough to cause such a reaction among the Sky-Men.

One could imagine how precious the contents within must be.

The host of Sky-Men observed the Secret Realm but none hurried to enter, and not a single one regarded the ordinary strong people seriously.

To them, all strong beings below Sky-Men were nothing but a disorderly mob.

They posed not the slightest threat to them.

After observing for a moment, secret discussions began to emerge among them.

"Although this Secret Realm is within the territories of the Great Zhou, it should be shared by all under heaven."

"Emperor Zhou, you have no objections, do you?"

Emperor Zhou smiled, kept silent, and just nodded slightly.

After a moment of silence, he added:

"How shall we allocate the Secret Realm? Shall we enter together or...?"

As Emperor Zhou finished speaking, Li Longhu shook his head.

"No one knows what exists inside this Secret Realm."

"There are living people inside. They might be from the last expedition who haven’t come out yet or from ancient times. All is unknown."

Empress Wei of Great Wei arrived fashionably late, dressed in a gorgeous Purple Luo Pattern Phoenix Skirt, with a snowy white fur cloak draped over her shoulders. She sat cross-legged midair, gently propping her chin with one hand, her beautiful white legs overlapping in an elegant and enticing posture.

However, at this moment, none of the Sky-Men admired Empress Wei’s beauty.

Perhaps, for the Sky-Men, it was the pursuit of improving their cultivation and strength that was their greatest desire.

"Aren’t you just worried about the dangers within?"

Empress Wei’s red lips parted slightly as she began to speak, casting her dignified and noble gaze down at the strong ones below, and then continued:

"Let them enter first to test the waters, and we’ll know."

As Empress Wei spoke, Emperor Zhou’s expression changed first.

Among the strong ones below, the Great Zhou’s people were the majority.

Others from farther away might have reacted to the appearance of the Secret Realm, but they couldn’t possibly arrive so quickly.

Only the people of the Great Zhou could respond the fastest.

Empress Wei’s words clearly suggested using those below as cannon fodder.

Although Emperor Zhou didn’t care about the deaths of the nobility or Sects’ warriors, he could not accept his subjects being used so blatantly, as he considered himself an enlightened ruler.
