From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

Chapter 727 Recalling the glorious past, your name is on the bellyband!
After seeing Yuan Xiang off.

Wang Yu looked at the Expeditionary Order in his hand and fell into deep thought. Things were different now. He had the Celestial Palace Order in hand and was nominally responsible for the duties of the Starry Sky Envoy.

Much of the information was not a secret to him.

Most of them can be found through the Celestial Palace Token, and some intelligence involving secret information can also be exchanged for contributions, so the value is quite high.

If the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department is an internal supervisory department with law enforcement characteristics and special operations capabilities, then it is a gathering place for elites.

The Xuanhuang War Immortal Department, located in the twenty-first heaven, is a department specifically responsible for racial wars. Currently, it is mainly engaged in continuous battles against the demon race, but it also has the function of exploration and expansion.

The Expansion Order is equivalent to the expansion authority granted by the Celestial Palace.

The so-called "ancient world".

These are special worlds possessing the [Primordial Divine Restriction], some existing as a single entity, others as a cluster of worlds, and as is well known, the known universe is far from its limit.

Not only do otherworldly realms occasionally appear, but unknown worlds also drift in from the darkness of the cosmic sea. After being discovered by all kinds of beings, they are mostly conquered and then incorporated into their own immortal realm system.

Continuously expand the scale of the Immortal Realm and strengthen the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm.

Taking the Vast Immortal Realm as an example, its scale is smaller than that of the Celestial Immortal Realm, and the number of Great Thousand Worlds it contains is an important indicator of the strength of a race.

after all.

The vast world is rich in resources, capable of nurturing many talented prodigies. Through generations of cultivation, it becomes a cradle of the strong, greatly representing the strength of the core power of a clan.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Although the Ancient Realm also emerged from the darkness of the Cosmic Sea, it is mostly a world that existed in the Primordial and Ancient times, and has become disconnected from the mainstream cultivation world for various reasons.

It disappears at a certain time and reappears in another era. If you're lucky, you can find relevant records in ancient history. The difficulty of exploration is unpredictable.

This is the origin and meaning of the ancient world.

It possesses far greater value than ordinary newly discovered worlds, such as ancient heritage, extinct rare and precious materials, extinct true spirit races, and so on.

Combining it with the current cultivation system could potentially create new products of extremely high value.

The existence of the Exploration Order allows cultivators to choose an ancient realm discovered by the War Immortals Department, one that is still undeveloped. It has to be said that the First Human Emperor gave him a great gift.

Once the exploration is complete, the entire ancient realm will belong to Wang Yu.

However, taxes need to be paid to the Celestial Palace regularly, amounting to about 30% of the output, and there is a minimum standard. If the amount is insufficient, it will be considered as insufficient development capacity, and there is a chance that the entire ancient realm will be taken back.

Freedom, resources, and development time.

The three essential elements that Wang Yu values ​​most are all present. Isn't that much better than being suppressed and ostracized in the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department? The only concern is the manpower issue, and he even thoughtfully includes a top-tier Dao Soldier Refining Inheritance.

All that's missing is him personally leading the development work.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a windfall. As for the [Ancient Divine Restriction] that surrounds the entire world, cultivators will need to overcome it themselves. This thing is a typical suppressive restriction.

It will limit the strength and realm of those who enter the realm, but there are also many ways to bypass it, so there is no absolute rule.

There's always a solution, right?

Some powerful beings speculate that such divine restrictions are likely related to innate deities, combining the restrictions with the Great Dao and being controlled by the Heavenly Dao, making them truly exquisite.

According to Yuan Xiang, Wang Yu suspects that this ancient realm may be a world cluster similar in size to a small immortal realm, containing more than one world, otherwise there would be no saying of "being friendly neighbors and helping each other".

"Exploring the ancient realm... that's a good place to go."

Wang Yu calculated with his fingers, and the change of cause and effect was activated to its extreme. Following the intuition in the dark, he could feel that the gains no less than those in the Soul Refining World were destined for him.

Therefore, arrangements for Tantai Chan need to be carefully considered.

With the Soul Banner in hand, he has no shortage of powerful figures he can command.

However, in addition to the immortal banner spirit, the soul banner also contains a large number of ordinary ghostly servants. These things cannot remain in the outside world indefinitely and need to return to the underworld within the banner periodically for nourishment.

In addition, the intelligence of ordinary banner spirits is also a major problem, making it difficult for them to create technical positions and they can only be used as laborers.

In other words.

It is very necessary to refine a batch of Dao soldiers to be in charge of governing and developing the ancient realm.

Think of this.

Wang Yu took out the Immortal Palace Token and interacted with it using the Expansion Token, which quickly revealed thousands of top-tier Dao weapon crafting inheritances.

[Mountain Divine Weapon Forging Method], [Yellow Heaven Warrior Secret Manual], [Heaven-Supporting Demon Weapon Strategy], [Sacred Unicorn Blood Codex: Dao Weapon Record], [Ghost Shadow Legion: Undying Puppet Chapter]... There are too many kinds of top-level Dao weapon inheritances.

After the basic information entered his mind, Wang Yu quickly understood.

In fact, back in the Ice Prison Realm, both the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect had Dao Weapon inheritances, but most of them were those with insufficient aptitude who cultivated them, refining themselves into Dao Weapons to gain power and lifespan comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although they are governed by the source, they are ultimately different.

It is mostly used for managing the grassroots and maintaining systemic governance. Due to its limited inheritance level, it cannot play a significant role in high-end combat capabilities, and therefore, it has not made any progress since.

Even those with pseudo-spiritual roots can cultivate Dao soldier techniques; this is one of the classifications of Dao soldiers: [Cultivation-type Dao soldiers], also known as "soldier men".

One can ignore aptitude and forcefully cultivate to gain powerful strength. The downside is that it takes time to grow, but one has an advantage in intelligence and can also develop cultivation skills.

Secondly, there are [Refined Dao Soldiers], which are mostly refined in batches using rare and precious materials, combined with special terrain and formations.

This puppet-like being has low intelligence and is somewhat similar to an artificial intelligence life form, with a set of operating logic set by its creator.

Good materials mean strong capabilities, and vice versa.

Further subdivisions include beast soldiers, bloodline soldiers, and so on.

A lone demonic cultivator like Wang Yu is more suited to the first type of Dao weapon inheritance, which allows him to start from scratch and quickly build up a rudimentary force.

Those with powerful backers are more suited to the second type. They have no shortage of grassroots managers and possess vast wealth, so they can naturally refine a large number of Dao soldiers in a short period of time and quickly form an army.

This thing is also the most common consumable on the battlefield between humans and demons.

It can be used as a boundary tax to be offered to the Immortal Palace, and it is also the most common goods provided by the lords of the ancient realms in place of various treasures and tributes, especially cultivation-type Dao soldiers.

Once they reach a certain stage of development, they are harvested and given to the Celestial Palace to fill the battlefield. Apart from the consumption of spiritual energy within the world, there is almost no cost.

As for the creatures of the ancient world.

The probability of humans existing there is low, because humans had not yet risen to prominence in that ancient period of history, and were far from the widespread presence they have today.

More often, there are alien races with human-like appearances, such as the Wind Master Clan and the Glowing Cloud Clan, which are ancient alien races with human-like appearances and were once enslaved by humans as materials for Dao soldiers.

Subsequently, some of their people were rescued by other hostile major clans, forming an adversarial relationship with the human race. It's hard to explain in a few words, but in short, it was all a game and struggle between major clans.

After a cursory tour, Wang Yu chose a demonic warrior inheritance that suited him and named it—【Blood Sea Military Manual】!
It originates from the "Ninefold Blood Sea," one of the nine lineages of the demonic path.

It includes eighteen blood-sea-based soldier training methods, each with its own strengths and specializations, as well as legion formations, matching cultivation elixirs, weapon techniques, blood weapon crafting... it covers everything!

The necessary materials can be perfectly supplied by the Myriad Transformations True Demon Cave.

Judging from the total amount of blood in his cave, he could easily train a blood army with hundreds of millions of members.

Thus, the matter came to an end.

Three days after studying the Blood Sea Military Manual, Wang Yu activated the Hidden Consciousness Pearl on time. Inside was a divine thought of the first Human Emperor. His true body was not in the Thirty-Three Heavens, hence the meeting in this way.

What intrigued Wang Yu was that he knew a great deal about the other party's information and secrets. In the ruins of the Immortal Dynasty in the Ice Prison Realm, he had even come into contact with the Second Human Emperor and his Crown Prince and Crown Princess. At that time, in order to find out the whereabouts of the Five Elements Escape Heaven Sacred Armor, he had made a promise to avenge the other party. In fact, this enemy had already been found, and it was none other than the Void Lineage, who also had a blood feud with him!

This lineage has a long history as the guardian spirit of the prison.

Having suppressed the ancient demon rebellion more than once, he should have understood this long ago. However, considering Kongkong Daoren's strength, he did not want to expose his hostility before he had an overwhelming advantage.

Furthermore, the Celestial Palace has strict laws and regulations. If one does not want to violate the Celestial Laws and be imprisoned in the Celestial Prison, one needs to plan carefully and take action to annihilate the entire Void Dharma Lineage, leaving no chance for the other party to retaliate.

A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act.

The demonic cultivators were well-versed in this matter, and this meeting was a good opportunity to reveal some information and see what the first Human Emperor had to say.

It is worth mentioning that.

Theoretically, the first Human Emperor should not have known of his existence, unless the True Immortal Xuande mentioned it to him, which we will find out soon by testing.

Not long after.

The Hidden Consciousness Pearl was fully activated, and a tall, imposing man with dragon horns on his head and wearing heavy golden armor gradually materialized, his crimson cloak hanging down to his ankles and a magnificent sword hanging at his waist.

The lion's face has a wide mouth and the lips are relatively large.

Simply put, he's a big-mouthed, handsome man with a strong, masculine air. His features aren't particularly striking, but they are upright and masculine, giving off a positive vibe.

'Just as flamboyant as described...'

Wang Yu thought to himself, the image of the first Human Emperor of the Ice Prison Realm matched what he knew. No wonder he was a man who collected countless fairy bellybands.

Overt flirting isn't enough; subtle flirting is even more deadly.

"Hahaha, we finally meet, Junior Brother Wang."

With that laugh, his gaping maw seemed capable of swallowing his head whole, a sight that was suffocating, especially considering the First Human Emperor's height of at least two meters.

Wang Yu stood before him, truly looking like a little chick.

but.

The information revealed in his words is worth pondering.

'Junior Brother Wang…it seems that True Immortal Xuande spoke to him about something, but he hasn't been accepted as a disciple yet, and we've only ever seen a pair of eyes from beginning to end.'

From a self-interest perspective, he would prefer to become a disciple of the Demon Lord.

"I have long admired your name, Senior Emperor."

Wang Yu bowed his head in greeting.

However, he was quickly helped up by the other party, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his heroic and spirited face.

"Just call me Senior Brother. Don't mention the title 'Human Emperor' again. Senior Brother can't bear the crime of overstepping his bounds. People call me Azure Blood Dragon Lord, and you can call me that too."

“Okay.” Wang Yu readily agreed, and then asked another question.

"Why does Senior Brother Dragon Lord call me Junior Brother? True Immortal Xuande did not..."

"Hey, it's only a matter of time."

The first emperor waved his hand and explained.

"The Ice Prison Realm is related to Master's grand plan. Several promising talents have emerged in recent years, but they were all caused by you. Since you have not been punished and Master has arranged for you to enter the Demon Realm for training, you will become Master's disciple sooner or later."

Wang Yu: "..."

Is this a forced sale? He still harbored a sense of resistance towards true immortals and powerful beings who came into contact with the path of cause and effect. Simply put, he lacked a sense of security and was afraid that he would be set up if he was not careful.

But his current experience is also not without the risk of being manipulated.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu suddenly realized something.

"Senior Brother Dragon Lord, was the Expansion Token given to you by True Immortal Xuande?"

"No, it's a personal gift from me. Junior brother, you're on the path of slaughter, which requires a lot of blood sacrifices. Humans can't be slaughtered at will, but other races can."

"However, the battlefield is too dangerous, and slaughtering other races can easily provoke new wars. These creatures in the ancient realm are very suitable for junior brother to cultivate demonic arts. They are easy to kill without cause or effect."

Wang Yu: "..."

No.

In a short period of time, this was probably the umpteenth time he had been speechless. "I'm not crazy, why would you slander me like this?"
But considering the exposed path of slaughter and the Blood Demon Sword Sect's inheritance, if one wants to improve quickly, personally experiencing a massacre is indeed an effective way to improve, which is in line with the nature of the demonic path.

'Forget it, I won't stoop to his level.'

A powerhouse at the peak of the Mahayana stage... We can't afford to offend him!

With this thought in mind, after inviting him to sit down, the first Human Emperor rarely talked about serious matters, but mostly recounted his experiences in the Ice Prison Realm, expressing many feelings.

To sum up.

Remembering those glorious years, your name is etched on my bellyband!
His expression was particularly interesting when he learned that Wang Yu had entered the private room he had left behind. He stopped pretending and began to talk at length about how beauties such as fairies, saintesses, and witches were infatuated with him.

Inheriting a sect is not as good as becoming his concubine.

It’s just that!

Wang Yuchun dismissed it as nonsense. After all, female cultivators have a great deal of autonomy, especially for the exceptionally talented fairy. With strength, she can naturally decide everything!
However, judging from the scale of the ancient immortal dynasty...

Even if what the first emperor said was true, he was probably the emperor who unified the world by gaining the benefits of beauty brought by his immense power!
Just imagine how prosperous it was.

Moreover, Xuande Zhenxian was also present at that time. The first human emperor was the true protagonist template. It is unknown how this personality was noticed by a true immortal who cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

Could it really be a matter of fate?

Wang Yu had many doubts, but they were all things he found difficult to say. After listening to the other party boast for an hour, he was about to reach his psychological limit.

He had to change the subject.

Is there a specific timeline for the exploration of the ancient realm?

"No, junior brother, you can come anytime. I've reserved a seat for you."

"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Longjun. My cultivation is at a critical point of breakthrough. I will go to that ancient realm to report after I have completed my cultivation."

“No problem. This is my senior brother’s private communication jade talisman. Although there is a certain delay, it can cover the entire Cangmang Immortal Realm without any problem.”

"it is good."

After finishing the important business, Wang Yu probed further.

"Senior Brother Dragon Lord, do you know the final fate of the Immortal Dynasty? Junior Brother has explored many ancient books and relics, and there are many suspicious things in them."

Who would have guessed.

The first emperor merely nodded, revealing no further emotion.

"This matter should not be mentioned again..."
