"Indeed, the State Preceptor is the last hope of the Human Realm and must not fall easily," said Ying Si. "He must act as our sharp dagger, to be thrust fiercely into the heart of those extraterrestrial wolves at the critical moment."

Seeing Yi Chen wanting to speak further, Ying Si waved his hand and smiled, "State Preceptor, if you're thinking of being the first to set foot on the approaching Western Lands, you can save your breath."

"With the combined strength of us three, and you sweeping the formation, even if there are issues they should be of no concern. Moreover, all three of us are Great Cultivators at the Fourth Realm of Breakthrough Limit, not mere mediocrities."

"State Preceptor breaking into the Fifth Realm is not only a shock for me but also for Qingping True Monarch and that Strange Doctor senior. As the ruler of Great Qin, I cannot allow the State Preceptor to hog all the glory."

At this point, Ying Si suddenly stood up, his expression bold, "Great Qin is not only the State Preceptor's Great Qin but also my Great Qin."

"I too wish to use those extraterrestrial wolves as a whetstone to gather resources for my breakthrough into the Fifth Realm."

"Moreover, the situation might not be as bad as you think, State Preceptor. Maybe we three can resolve this crisis without you having to lift a finger."

As a strong individual, Ying Si was undoubtedly proud.

Since Ying Si had spoken to this extent, Yi Chen naturally could not oppose any further and promptly agreed.

Just as Yi Chen was about to turn and leave, Ying Si stopped him, handing him an ancient book.

"State Preceptor, the search you requested for the whereabouts of Huaxu Country has made progress."

"Recently, an Earth Dragon turned over in the southwest of Great Qin, revealing a relic. Spies from the Ministry of Justice have unearthed a number of ancient books from it, among which are records about Huaxu Country."

"It turns out that Huaxu Country can be traced back to the era of the Human Emperor. It was once a powerful tribal gathering spot deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and then for some unknown reason, the country mysteriously disappeared."

"Do you have some hidden agenda in searching for Huaxu Country, State Preceptor? If there is a need, you can ask Warden Asna, she will tell you where this relic is and how to enter it. As for Princess Chang Le, she has been increasingly lazy lately."

"Is that so?" The mysterious history of Huaxu Country traceable to the Human Emperor's era that Yi Chen had been inquiring about for a long time finally started making sense, and the news shocked him tremendously.

It was an even greater shock to him than Asna's arrival in the Western Lands and for a moment, he did not even respond to Ying Si's teasing about Lin Luo and himself.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a long story. After I have investigated clearly, I will explain it to you in detail."

"Please have someone inform me at Falling Dragon Mountain when it's time to set out for Zhen Tian Sea Gate."

With a solemn expression, Yi Chen quickly took the booklet from Ying Si and made his urgent farewell.

Watching the broad and majestic figure of Yi Chen, Ying Si unexpectedly had an odd thought.

He always felt that Yi Chen today was somewhat different from when they had dined together.

It was as if he 's become stronger and more reserved.

"How can this be? For the State Preceptor to accidentally fall into the Demon Realm and then return to make a breakthrough to the Fifth Realm is already beyond belief."

"In such a short period of time, to have cultivated and broken through again, even the reincarnation of the Taoist Ancestral wouldn't have such a cultivation speed."

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Seemingly amused by his outlandish thought, Ying Si chuckled and shook his head before calling out to a red-robed aide officer outside the door,

"Servant, prepare the Array for me. I need to contact Qingping True Monarch quickly!"

With a flick of his wide sleeve, Ying Si immediately walked out of the study.

Nighttime.

The sky was full of stars.

A robust silhouette was visible through a window, Yi Chen sat upright before the desk, studying the ancient book given by Ying Si, and far from clearing up, the puzzles in his heart only thickened.

The truth buried in the long river of time was increasingly elusive.

To Yi Chen, the memories of his deep excursion into Yin Manor left an indelible impression.

According to the sparse records from the iron pages of ancient books, corroborated against the Human Race's historical tomes, Huaxu Country disappeared suddenly one day after the Human Emperor attained his Tao. The ancient book recorded it as an interesting anecdote and included it among the manuscripts.

The greenish iron pages of the ancient books had an array of raised characters, typical regulations of books during the Human Emperor's time, genuine artifacts. After examination by Great Qin experts, there was no doubt of their authenticity.

So if the records in these ancient manuscripts are correct, why did the Huaxu Country mysteriously disappear and then appear within Yin Manor?

Moreover, such a significant event should not be so elusive; the Human Race rose to power during the era of the Human Emperor, dominating heaven and earth. An event of such magnitude should be documented in numerous texts.

But if it weren't for this fortuitous chance leading to the discovery of a piece of information about the Huaxu Country, even Great Qin's extensive reach yielded nothing after a long search. It was as if an invisible hand had erased all the news of the Huaxu Country from that era.

Such power and authority.

A bright light suddenly flashed across Yi Chen's mind.

"Human Emperor, is it you?"

The Human Emperor was the supreme ruler of the world at that time, with unparalleled power and authority.

Only he could erase an event so thoroughly over such a long span of time.

It could be said that a part of the history of the Human Race is 'first there was the Human Emperor, then the heavens,' which wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Yi Chen: "... Could it be that Yin Manor existed before the Human Emperor as well?"

A thought suddenly surfaced in Yi Chen's mind.

The Heavenly Master and Ying Si, Yue Qingping had also told him small stories about the courtyard.

In the stories, the Human Emperor divined the will of heaven, realizing that future fate would turn to other races. Therefore, he sacrificed himself and merged with the Dao to suppress the will of heaven, and it was only afterward that the owner of the courtyard awoke and established the rule that cultivation in the Five Realms would not exceed Dao Mastery.

The current talk of surpassing limits in the Human Realm is merely an expansion upon the Realm of Dao Mastery, elevating combat power to the utmost.

Even the reins around the neck of the Demonkin had loosened only slightly in recent years, but they hadn't completely broken.

"Damn it, just what is hidden in that period of the Human Emperor's history, what exactly is Yin Manor, why did the Huaxu Country fall, and why did the Human Emperor go to such lengths to erase the information of the Huaxu Country? Was the Human Emperor's merging with the Dao really to blind the will of heaven?"

"If so, why didn't the Human Emperor make it cleaner?"

An invisible hand had erased the news of the Huaxu Country, yet it was as if providence had left behind a clue like a twist of destiny, spawning endless conjectures in Yi Chen's mind, as if someone was deliberately conveying a certain message.

An immature guess suddenly flickered across his Heart Lake, which Yi Chen then deeply buried in his heart.

There were too few clues; he didn't have enough pieces of the puzzle to piece together the truth of that year.

"Perhaps after resolving this disaster, I shall take the initiative to visit Yin Manor."

Yi Chen sighed deeply, pushing down the thoughts fluttering in his mind, casting his gaze toward the three prisoners in the room, who had fallen into a baby-like sleep.

A great battle was imminent; he wanted to fully harness the strength he had gained upon advancing to the twenty-fifth layer of True Technique.

For instance, the three figures that were currently treated like lords within his Pure Yang Flame Prison.

Three Corpse Primordial Spirits.

The first was a white figure representing greed, the gathering of the Upper Corpse God.

The second was a blue figure representing anger, the gathering of the Middle Corpse God.

The third was a grey figure representing lust, the gathering of the Lower Corpse God.

Under Shen Hong's astonishing wisdom, "Slash the Three Corpses Martial God Scripture" took an unexpected turn and was cultivated in reverse to become "Cultivating the Three Corpse Martial God Scripture"—a change that Yi Chen had never anticipated.

This practice was akin to someone using Marx-Engels in reverse to cultivate a supreme Demon Skill; the flexibility in technique and Shen Hong's spiritual nature left Yi Chen in awe.

Incredibly intelligent.

His Golden Finger could even reverse-infer and deduce, and then within his Pure Yang Flame Prison, it created the three bizarre objects before him.

"I, the foolish consciousness, have you brought the prisoners over? Come quickly and let your Master Peng Jiao display my divine skills."

"If you can gather such Three Corpse Primordial Spirits like me, you've found a treasure. From now on, just wait for wealth and splendor to come crashing down upon your head."

Within the Pure Yang Flame Prison, the grey figure that stood tallest, representing the lustful Peng Jiao, the Lower Corpse God, spoke first, releasing vulgar words without waiting for Yi Chen's consciousness to respond.

"Exactly, exactly, you foolish consciousness, why bother with prisoners, there are so many living people on your mountain, just grab any three and turn them into living dead, and it would be done," the blue Primordial Spirit representing anger immediately said, with an extremely harsh demeanor.
