Zhao Huaizhong relied on the magic power sent into the compass to trace the direction of its surface pointer.
A fleeting scene flashed before his eyes.
In the deep dark void, something glowed faintly.
In another void, chaos reigned, and a giant object measuring thousands of feet floated like land.
It was a huge bronze door.
The screen alternates, the pointer on the compass rotates, and a spherical mana wall rises, with bright spots emerging on it.
When Zhao Huaizhong withdrew his magic power, the compass returned to calm and the changes disappeared.
There is a reason why he sacrificed three gates to the underworld one after another this time.
Sacrifice can greatly increase and replenish the lost breath of the underworld, and it is also used to find other gates of the underworld and the soul-enchanting pens in them.
The bronze plate lowered from the altar is most likely related to the parts lost in the underworld.
"Can this compass point to the missing gate of the underworld?"
"The picture I just saw is the fragments of the underworld in different positions?"
In other words, the direction of the compass is likely to have clues to the innate spiritual treasure soul-enchanting pen.
Then its value will be great.
While Zhao Huaizhong was studying the compass, his mind was paying attention to the monsters on the other side.
He took many of his demon clansmen and found the secret space where he had left the layout.
Its location is far outside the Three Realms, in the boundless chaos.
The entrance is hidden like a mustard seed. When the monster finds it and opens it in a corresponding way, the entrance to the secret realm of space is stretched open.
The monster strode into it.
It was an ancient, dilapidated, and silent large cave.
This cave has been silent for a long time. The land within it is vast, but there are ravines and signs of dilapidation everywhere.
If you look closely at those ravines, you will see that they are the remains of a battle long ago.
Some ravines are hundreds of miles long, even thousands of miles long... On the barren land, there are many white bone remains, huge in size, and no living creatures exist.
Those bones are the legendary chaotic creatures, the first batch of beings in the world.
A long time passed, and only their white bones were left, and some of them even decayed and merged with the earth.
This secret realm has been floating in the void for an unknown amount of time, and everything is on the verge of dissipating.
If the monsters don't come, this place may cease to exist in a few decades or hundreds of years.
There are very few valuable things in the entire space that can withstand the erosion of time.
After the monster comes in, let the monsters under your command disperse to search.
There are things shining in various areas of the ruined secret cave, which are weapons left behind by ancient beings.
When the other monsters dispersed, the monster opened his mouth and chanted the ancient monster language that was as loud as thunder.
It was a special kind of curse. Following his voice, a cloud of black air suddenly rose up in the square cave sky and rolled towards the monster's location.
In the darkness, it seems that there is another world, and an ancient figure is standing on the earth with its feet on the ground, its hands raised to the sky, and it is unruly.
Suddenly, the black energy like a storm was swallowed by the monster's mouth.
The figure in the black aura is his second demon body.
At this moment, the monster regained its complete self!
The second demon body returned to the original deity and brought him the last fragment of his soul.
The missing and forgotten part of his consciousness also returned at this moment and became complete.
The monster remembered many things from ancient times.
He began to run on the land of this secret space, making an earth-shattering roar, desolate and powerful.
With every step he took, his body rose hundreds of feet taller. After a few steps, he became connected to the sky and the earth. Black energy surged outside his body, and the two huge horns on his head curved, showing an extremely unruly arc.
Behind him, the nine heads of the first demon body Xiang Liu also revealed their true appearance.
They were nine huge snake heads, spread out like a peacock behind the monster, extremely ferocious.
At this time, the monster showed its arrogance and ferocity that despised everything.
All around him, black air steamed like burning fire.
He pointed to the sky, stepped on the earth, and roared: "I am the demon lord of the ten directions, commanding the demons, dominating the world, and refusing to obey any discipline. I dare to make the world kneel down and make all living beings slaves. I..."
"Stop being so arrogant, take back your demon body and get down to business quickly."
The monster's boastful lines came to an abrupt end, and he was brought back to the cruel reality by the voice that sounded in the void.
Almost subconsciously, the monster bowed and said, "I obey your Majesty's orders."
As if he felt a little inferior, the monster coughed slightly, his voice lowered a bit, and he scolded the monsters under his command to forcefully regain his respect: "Listen, everyone, collect the valuable artifacts one by one and bring them back to your majesty.
If anyone misses anything, I’ll give you a discount on your legs.”
The demons under his command agreed in unison.
The monster turned back and saluted the void: "Your Majesty, after I have tidied up this place, I will begin to explore the lost parts of the underworld that Your Majesty is looking for."
"Yeah." came the response from the void.
A round bronze vessel came across the sky like a meteor and landed in front of the monster.
It's that compass.
Zhao Huaizhong relied on his connection with the monster to deliver it through the air.
The monster held the compass in his hand and said in shock: "Your Majesty is able to push the artifacts to the secret realm outside the three realms. His magical power is truly vast, his magic power reaches the sky, and he can unify the three realms for thousands of generations..."
In the Xianyang Palace, Zhao Huaizhong felt that the words used for the horse seemed familiar.
"You follow the compass pointing and the coordinates of the void secret realm that I asked you to explore before, confirm each other, and investigate one by one, you should gain something."
Zhao Huaizhong said again: "If you want to take pictures of horses, think of some fresh words."
The monster was stunned for a moment. What new words could he come up with to flatter his ass? Just those few words, such as "great magical powers, powerful powers..."
Xianyang.
Zhao Huaizhong regained consciousness and cut off communication with the monster.
He sat there and thought about what he was doing.
Search for the door to the underworld, the soul-enchanting pen, and temporarily leave it to the monsters to explore.
There will be a great chaos in the fairy world next. The competition between the demon clan and the human race has gradually become more intense. For a long time to come, the fairy world will only become more and more chaotic.
In the war between the immortal world, Qin can speed up the integration of the underworld while developing himself...
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Bao Si, I have something for you to do!"
The little secretary came out of the picture scroll space. When he heard that there was something to do again, his face tightened and he almost begged, "Are you going to the underworld again? Can you not go?"
"Chaos in the Three Realms has begun. I want to integrate the underworld as soon as possible. This is very important to me and to Great Qin. Are you willing to help me?"
Zhao Huai thought it was not appropriate to fool his little secretary like this.
This silly girl has a simple mind. If I say so, she will definitely agree.
Sure enough, when Bao Si heard that he could help Zhao Huaizhong, he felt trusted and valued, and had an inexplicable sense of responsibility. She straightened her flexible waist subconsciously, and her front also trembled: "I can help your majesty, Bao Si."
I am willing to do anything.”
"Then you go to the underworld and urge all the princes to complete the integration as soon as possible."
Regarding the underworld, Zhao Huaizhong had already had a complete plan, and had discussed it with Hungui, Pei Yu, Yama and other princes.
The little secretary used to do a lot of exercise.
"You used to be my imperial envoy, wear my armor, ride a candle dragon, and report directly to me if you have any matters." Zhao Huaizhong emboldened the young secretary and provided him with the identity of a spokesperson.
Bao Si nodded obediently, climbed onto the top of the candle dragon again, flew through the air, and entered the underworld.
noon.
Lu Buwei, Zheng Guo and other officials rode a red sacred bird and landed on the border south of the northwest.
Then we went to the military camp where Lian Po was stationed, transferred to the Night Beast, and continued southward to start on-the-spot investigation and survey of the excavation route of the Long River.
A group of people rode the night beast several hundred miles south and came to a large mountain.
Zheng Guo is one of the most outstanding hydraulic engineers in contemporary times.
Climbing high and looking into the distance, I took a small notebook in my hand and drew and marked the direction of the mountains and landmasses while reading.
For a large project like Longhe, which spans thousands of miles, at least dozens, or even hundreds, of surveys are required in advance.
In addition to Zheng Guo, there are also people under the Mo family and Zhang Cang who are responsible for the calculation.
A group of people were busy when they suddenly heard a sharp sound.
Lian Po's elite men who were following him around and were in charge of the escort reacted quickly. One of them drew out his sword from his waist, slashed it out in the air, and cut off an incoming sharp arrow.
The expressions of the rest of the Qin army suddenly became sharp.
The leader of the team waved his hand, and more than a hundred Qin troops immediately moved forward and aimed their arrows in the direction of the arrows.
What is particularly rare is that no one in the entire team of more than a hundred people made a sound, relying solely on the leader's gesture and the tacit understanding of regular training. When encountering the enemy, they draw their swords and their will to fight is invincible.
Lu Buwei, Li Si and others stood with their hands behind their backs, quite proud of the eliteness of the Qin army.
At this time, a team of people galloped out of another nearby mountain peak.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Opposite is a group of cavalry, about seventy or eighty people in number, each of them strong and muscular, with sharp eyes.
Moreover, they all rode uniformly and wore the same clothes. They all wore brown leather armor, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and were well equipped.
"They are people from the Yuezhi Kingdom. They founded their country with Lanshi City as the center. The area is not large, but the combat effectiveness is quite strong."
The Yueshi are a nomadic tribe scattered throughout the country. The main branch is divided into two parts, one of which was the one that was defeated by the Huns on the grassland.
There is another branch thousands of miles west of the Qin Kingdom, south of Kangyi, and centered on Lanshi City.
They were adjacent to the Parthian Empire (the predecessor of Persia) further to the west.
Next to Lu Buwei, the guard leader whispered:
"General Lian Po led us to change our defenses here, mainly to guard against the Yuezhi and Parthian Empire people from Lanshi City."
Before he finished speaking, there were sudden sharp sounds again, and multiple arrows were shot from the opposite side.
The leader of the Qin army was furious: "Let these barbarians see our Qin army's arrows!"
"promise!"
The Qin army immediately responded with crossbows and arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
The Qin Army's current crossbow arrows, which have been improved many times and engraved with the secret text of their origin, are as fast as lightning and can suddenly shoot the Yuezhi Rangers on the opposite side, knocking them off their feet.
The other party was caught off guard and retracted behind the mountain peak it came out from before. The voice came from the air, speaking the same language as the Kangyi people:
"Who are you, who dare to break into my Yuezhi tribe and shoot my Yuezhi tribe members?"
Following the sound, a strong man in armor walked out from behind the opposite mountain peak, obviously a general of the other side, looking at Lu Buwei and others from a distance.
There was a Qin official next to Lu Buwei and said: "We are from Da Qin."
The Qin official said this, and then squinted at the other party, waiting for him to be impressed by the great Qin's reputation.
Unexpectedly, the Yuezhi general looked contemptuous and spat on the ground: "I have never heard of a small barbarian country like Qin. You know, if I, the Yuezhi, send troops, you will be in trouble soon."
After the general finished speaking, he took out a horn and blew out a deafening low sound that resounded for hundreds of miles.
Lu Buwei sneered and said, "It's my fault. I've never heard of Qin. I want you to listen carefully."
"He's lying." Li Si narrowed his eyes.
Xianyang.
It was already afternoon after Zhao Huaizhong finished handling the matters at hand.
He left the study and walked towards the harem, but saw a strange scene halfway.
An old turtle was carrying Zhao Ji, the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, followed by a big rooster, and on the other side were two fat pandas, accompanied by Zhao Yin and Zhao Ke, marching across Xianyang Palace as majestic as a guard of honor.
Behind them were a group of palace ladies and chamberlains, following in small steps.
Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the turtle's back, was very proud and majestic. When he saw Zhao Huaizhong, he raised his hand from a distance and actually ignored him.
"I've rebelled against you, Zhao Ji, you guys, come here."
