Chapter 1967

"What's not safe about it? Could it be that the Liu family dares to covet the territory of the Jade Dynasty? Don't forget, our Jade Clan has the support of the Mu Clan. Even the two Sacred Grounds don't dare to act rashly, let alone a newly established Pei Dynasty. "

The Jade Race member who had brought up the topic first retorted his companion, snorting disdainfully at the mention of Pei Chao.

"Nothing is absolute. There are some things that you might not be aware of. Do you know who the backer of the Liu Clan of Pei Dynasty is?" another Jade Clan member asked.

"Naturally, it's the Luo Sect. Rumor has it that the Great Prophet of the Luo Sect has stepped into the Saint Realm. The overthrow of the Cheng Dynasty was planned by him. But so what? Would the Luo Sect dare to offend the Shepherd Tribe? "

The first person from the Jade Race spoke with certainty. Gu Chen shook his head inwardly when he heard him mention the Shepherd Race again and again.

The Jade Clan had the rich Jade Emperor Dynasty, but there had been no Saint in the clan for a long time. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to protect their own interests. They should have been annexed by the Eight Branches Sacred Grounds and the Green Willow Sacred Grounds.

However, to the northwest of the Jade Dynasty was the Mu Dynasty. It was the leader of the Thirteen Dynasties of the Second Mountain and Sea. The Mu Tribe there was huge, and they were known to have the strongest cavalry and archers in the Primordial Dao World. Their military strength was at the top of the Second Mountain and Sea!

Most importantly, the Shepherd Clan was backed by Patriarch Mu, a Dao Patriarch who had mastered one of the eight great magics, the Grand Fusion Art. He was incredibly powerful, and in the entire Second Mountain and Sea, other than the Grand Qi Palace, no one would dare to provoke him.

With such a powerful neighbor like the Shepherd Tribe, the Jade Tribe was smart enough to side with them early on.

The Muhuang Dynasty liked to wage wars, so they had a huge demand for weapons. The Jade Dynasty was rich in spiritual mines, so the Jade Clan took the initiative to make weapons for the Muhuang Dynasty and offered them as tribute every year.

The Shepherd Tribe was naturally very satisfied with the Jade Tribe's filial attitude. In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the supply of weapons, they became the Jade Tribe's backer.

With the support of the Shepherd Clan, the Jade Clan was able to firmly grasp the ruling power of the Jade Dynasty. Even the two Sacred Grounds did not dare to provoke them.

In fact, the Dacheng Dynasty didn't have a Saint either, yet it was able to maintain a long period of peace. It had a lot to do with the situation of its neighbor, the Yu Dynasty.

The Jade Clan was wealthy, but they did not have a strong military force. They did not have the strength to conquer the Cheng Dynasty. This was not in line with the character of the Jade Clan.

The two Holy Lands might have had designs on the Cheng Dynasty, but they were unable to cross the Jade Clan's territory and could only lament their inadequacy.

All of these complicated situations created a delicate balance among the major powers in the Second Mountain and Sea. If that balance were to be broken, the Second Mountain and Sea would be plunged into a reign of terror!

However, the balance was not so easy to break. With the restriction of the Tianpu Dao Court, even if the Pei Dynasty replaced the Cheng Dynasty, its influence was temporarily limited to the territory.

With the powerful Shepherd Tribe as their backing, the Jade Tribe indeed had nothing to fear. The Pei Dynasty would not dare to have any designs on the Jade Dynasty. This Jade Tribe member was right.

However, borrowing external power was not a long-term solution. Only by being strong would one truly be strong. If the Jade Race did not prepare for danger in times of peace, there would come a day when danger would befall them.

"On the surface, it's true that the Luo Sect wouldn't dare to attack the Jade Clan, but they've already joined forces with the Chen Clan. Rumor has it that the genius of the Chen Clan, Chen Yunfei, is Emperor Pei's teacher.

"Don't forget, the Chen Clan has been on the decline these years, and our Jade Clan has taken advantage of the situation to annex a lot of their territory. Now that the Chen Clan has risen again, they will definitely want to reclaim their lost interests.

"Changxi County is close to the Pei Dynasty. Before the Geng Gold Mine was discovered, neither the imperial court nor the two Holy Lands had much to do with it. It's the perfect place for the Chen Clan to attack.

"As you said, the Shepherd Tribe is our backer, but they won't stand up for us over such a small matter. Thus, instead of trying to take over Changxi County, it's better to set our sights on the other counties. "

The second Jade Tribe member analyzed the situation seriously, causing his companion to frown. He also realized that Changxi County was indeed not a lucrative job.

"What you said makes sense. Heh, then I won't apply to be sent there. Whoever wants to go there, let them fight for it."

The two quickly reached an agreement, and their figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Changxi County …"

Gu Chen, who was following behind, murmured to himself. He committed the place to memory, then followed the crowd into the palace.

Although the Jade Tribe's Divine Ascension World was much grander than Honest Pavilion's, the internal structure was actually more or less the same.

Gu Chen soon arrived at a huge information platform, where some Jade Tribe members were searching for information or gathering information from various sources.

Of course, there were also a few who walked deeper into the palace, where there were obviously more information platforms with higher levels of authority.

Gu Chen stared at the glowing round platform, feeling a little excited. He was well aware of the value of the information in front of him to the Pei Dynasty.

However, he didn't act rashly. Just like how one could only enter this Divine Ascension World with a corresponding Divine Ascension Pearl, one also needed a corresponding Spiritual Brand in order to read the information permitted by the information platform!

Although he had snuck into the Jade Tribe's Divine Ascension World through a special method, his Spiritual Brand was foreign to this place. If he tried to access the information, he didn't know what would happen.

The lightest consequence would be that he failed to steal the information, but if it was more serious, it might lead to the investigation of the behemoth that was the Divine Ascension Sect!

Gu Chen stared at the round platform in front of him and pondered for a long time. Now that he was here, if he still couldn't access the information here, then all his efforts would have been in vain.

Glancing around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, Gu Chen slowly raised his left hand and touched the information platform.

However, unlike usual, his palm was now covered in woven Heavenly Winding Silk, making it look like he was wearing a glove.

His hand finally touched the information platform, and a massive amount of information quickly poured into his mind, but there were no changes or surprises!

As long as a thought appeared in his mind, the corresponding information would automatically appear from the information platform, as if it wasn't affected by any authority or rules!

Realizing this, Gu Chen was ecstatic!

He hadn't guessed wrong. Since the Heavenly Winding Silk could pass through the boundaries of the Divine Ascension World, it could naturally ignore the restrictions of the information platform!

Wearing the Heavenly Winding Silk Glove was equivalent to opening a back door to this Spiritual World, allowing him to bypass all kinds of restrictions and directly access the highest level of information!

Unable to restrain the ecstasy in his heart, the Heavenly Winding Silk on Gu Chen's hand became a bit messy and the glove showed signs of disappearing, forcing him to quickly withdraw it.

88 Layered Heavens Secret Technique, Thirteenth Layer, Thousand Winding Silk.

The Fourteenth Layer was called Xing Yi Weaving.

Just now, he had woven the Heavenly Winding Silk into the shape of a glove, which was an application of the Fourteenth Layer Secret Technique.

Through this method, the Heaven Twining Silk's uses became more extensive and powerful, and the amount of Secret Technique energy he could absorb from Heaven and Earth also increased.

The symbol of mastery of the Xingyi Weaving Secret Technique was to weave a Robe of the Great Way, but Gu Chen could only weave a glove at the moment. Moreover, the glove would disappear when his emotions fluctuated slightly. He couldn't even be considered to have crossed the threshold.
