Chapter 1968

The Divine Ascension Pearl in his hand fluctuated, and Gu Chen, who had been meditating for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a rare look of exhaustion.

The cross-shaped tattoo between his eyebrows faded until it completely disappeared, because the Secret Technique energy stored in his body had been exhausted.

He had invaded the Jade Clan's Divine Ascension World and secretly browsed through their intelligence. After that, he had explored new Divine Ascension Worlds in the void, and finally returned to Conscientious Pavilion's Divine Ascension Small Pavilion …

After this series of actions, even though the Secret Technique energy stored in his body had reached the level of a seventh-tier late-stage, he still felt overwhelmed.

Fortunately, this torment had not been in vain. Not to mention the intelligence he had obtained in the Jade Clan's Divine Ascension World, he had also discovered two more Divine Ascension Worlds.

And these two Divine Ascension Worlds just so happened to belong to the Jade Dynasty's two Holy Lands!

Thinking of his gains in the Divine Ascension World, the mentally exhausted Gu Chen did not immediately sit down to rest. Instead, he flipped his hand and took out the Jade Dynasty's territory map, outlining the locations of Jade Capital, Azure Willow Holy Land, and Eight Branches Holy Land.

"Sure enough …"

Corresponding to his experience in the Divine Ascension Worlds in his mind, Gu Chen quickly determined that the location of each Divine Ascension World in the spiritual world corresponded to the geographical locations of the forces they belonged to in reality!

This made Gu Chen excited. Although the distance in the spiritual world was not the same as in reality, as long as the location was right, it meant that if he wanted to invade a force's Divine Ascension World, he only needed to explore a specific location!

"With this ability, all the forces in the entire Primordial Dao World that use the Divine Ascension World will have their intelligence open to me. This is an unimaginably huge fortune!"

Gu Chen could not help but clench his fists. This discovery was of great significance to him. If he could grasp the intelligence of all the forces in the Primordial Dao World, no matter what he wanted to do in the future, he would be almost invincible!

After a while, Gu Chen gradually calmed down and frowned slightly.

Although theoretically, he now had the ability to steal information from various major forces, there were still two practical problems that he needed to solve.

First, he had only invaded three Divine Ascension Worlds this time, yet the Secret Technique's energy in his body had been completely exhausted. Moreover, he had considered returning to the last two Divine Ascension Worlds, so he had only determined which force they belonged to and had not carefully investigated them. Otherwise, the Secret Technique's energy would have been exhausted much earlier.

According to his observations, although the distance between the various Divine Ascension Realms in the spiritual world was not the same as the distance between the great forces in reality, there was a positive relationship.

In other words, the further the distance in reality, the longer it would take him to traverse the void in the spiritual world, and the more energy he would consume from the secret technique!

In this case, the range of the Divine Ascension Realm he could invade was greatly limited unless the Secret Technique in his body grew stronger.

In order to invade the Divine Wander Realm of any faction in the Dao World, one would have to cross the distance of the Nine Mountains and Seas. The amount of mystic energy needed was unimaginable!

Second, even if he had the Secret Technique's energy to invade all the Divine Ascension Realms, it would be impossible for him to organize and effectively use such a huge amount of information by himself.

It had to be known that he had only checked the Jade Race's intelligence network this time, and he could already feel how vast and complex the information was. It would take a lot of effort to find useful information from it, or even to organize specific pieces of information.

Just one force was already like this, and there were tens of millions of forces in the entire Dao World. It was impossible for him to deal with all of them by himself!

"The first problem is easy to solve. As long as my attainments in the Secret Technique continue to improve, the range of Divine Ascension Realms I can enter will also expand. There's even another way, which is to collect the Divine Ascension Pearls of other forces and find a way to gain access to them. Then, I can explore other Divine Ascension Realms from within. This way, I can also shorten the distance.

"The most troublesome problem is the second problem. I need enough people to help me collect and organize information from the various Divine Ascension Realms. However, this matter is of great importance, and there aren't many people I can trust. Secondly, once the Heavenly Winding Silk leaves my control, it will disappear very quickly, so I won't be able to help others travel the Divine Ascension Realms independently."

Gu Chen muttered to himself with a frown. Only by solving these two problems could he truly grasp the intelligence of the entire Primordial Dao World. However, these two problems were currently unsolvable.

"If I want to find a solution, I can only master more mystic techniques. Perhaps if I master the Xingyi Weaving or the next Heaven mystic technique, the problem will be easily solved."

Gu Chen thought for a long time before finally relaxing his frown. This matter could not be rushed. Even if he could grasp the intelligence of all the forces now, without enough strength, he could only return empty-handed.

In that case, it was better to take things slowly and spend more time on cultivating mystic techniques.

After absorbing the Primordial Ancestor's Primordial Energy Seed, his Brilliant Ancient Tyrant Body had broken through to a whole new realm. It would probably be difficult for him to make any further progress in the next few years.

Coupled with the assistance of the Great Primordial Energy Technique, his cultivation would be twice the result with half the effort, so he could spend more time on studying mystic techniques.

Over the next few days, apart from occasionally walking around Fixed Sky Mountain, Gu Chen spent most of his time immersed in cultivating the Xingyi Weaving Secret Technique.

On the other hand, the construction of the Wang Family's intelligence network in various parts of the Yu Dynasty was also carried out in an orderly manner.

Master Peach Blossom and the Clay Bodhisattva worked together, and with the help of the Hidden Dragon Clan led by Ninja Hidden, their efficiency was surprisingly high. Intelligence points were established one by one without anyone noticing.

Thanks to the visits of the Luo Sect's prophets to the Yu Dynasty's three major forces, the Yu Dynasty's vigilance and unease, which had been brought about by the Pei Dynasty's new establishment, had dissipated. The two dynasties were temporarily seeking common ground while reserving their differences, and coexisting peacefully.

Under Liu Yan's governance, the Pei Dynasty kept a low profile and sought development. On the other hand, the Yu Dynasty's situation in some areas was rather tense because of one incident.

The cause was that the Jade Clan had discovered a high-quality geng metal mine in Fenping County of Changxi Prefecture. However, before they could start developing it, the news was leaked for some reason, causing the Green Willow Holy Ground and the Eight Branches Holy Ground to fight over it.

The Yu Dynasty had always been rich in spiritual mineral resources, but more than 15% of the developed spiritual mineral resources were monopolized by the imperial court, which was represented by the Jade Clan. As a result, the two holy grounds had long been dissatisfied.

Changxi Prefecture wasn't originally a place rich in mineral resources, so neither the imperial court nor the two holy grounds had much influence over it.

Now, however, a high-quality geng metal mine had suddenly been discovered in Fenping County. After exploration, it was confirmed that it was one of the top five large mines in the Yu Dynasty. Naturally, it triggered an intense competition.

All of a sudden, the three major forces fought openly and covertly within Changxi Prefecture. Each of them displayed their remarkable abilities, and conflicts broke out from time to time!

As news about the Changxi Prefecture's mine spread, the Chen Clan, who had been keeping a low profile all along, realized the huge benefits that the mine could bring. Even the Chen Clan, which had been keeping a low profile but had undergone some changes recently, could no longer sit still.

The Chen Clan Leader was cultivating in seclusion and didn't care about anything, so the Great Elder was in charge of the clan.

After a discussion with the Elders Guild, the Great Elder went to look for Gu Chen!
