Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Carrying his thoughts, Zhou Haochen returned to the Wang residence.

The events that happened sixteen years ago still needed to be investigated by him personally.

Neither Consort Yun nor Emperor Qian Yuan would likely tell him the truth.

As for clues, they weren't entirely absent.

The black swastika symbol was the biggest clue.

Going around and around, it led back to the Xuanyuan bloodline.

In Zhou Haochen's view, Emperor Qian Yuan would definitely continue to investigate the Xuanyuan bloodline.

However, he couldn't completely rely on Emperor Qian Yuan; he also needed to investigate when he had the chance.

But without the support of Emperor Qian Yuan, Zhou Haochen could only investigate in secret.

"Alas—"

"Troublesome!"

Zhou Haochen sighed softly.

Afterward, he took out the jade pendant that had been split in two.

Emperor Jin Wen's personal jade pendant.

The key to Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum.

Zhou Haochen's heart was filled with anticipation for this jade pendant that had been split in two.

"Hopefully, it won't disappoint me!"

After taking out the jade pendant, the two halves began to glow with a white luster, as if they were night-luminescent pearls.

At the broken point, an invisible force attracted the two halves of the jade pendant, drawing them together.

With a click!

The two halves of the jade pendant were joined together by Zhou Haochen.

The next second, something magical happened.

The jade pendant that had been split in two actually rejoined, as if it were brand new, even the cracks disappeared.

Immediately afterward, a torrent of information flooded into Zhou Haochen's mind.

"Jin Dynasty… Secret Realm… Emperor Jin Wen… Mausoleum…"

Soon, Zhou Haochen understood the origin and history of this secret realm.

This secret realm was originally used by the Jin Dynasty to cultivate geniuses.

Talented individuals could receive corresponding rewards by passing the trials in the secret realm.

However, later, as Emperor Jin Wen approached the end of his life, he chose to arrange his mausoleum within this secret realm.

Thus, this secret realm became Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum.

Seeing this, Zhou Haochen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Someone like Emperor Jin Wen, who directly used an entire small secret realm as his mausoleum, was even more excessive than Emperor Qian Yuan.

"With such an absurd emperor as Jin Wen, how could the Jin Dynasty not perish?" Zhou Haochen shook his head and sneered.

At the same time.

In Wanping County, an unexpected event occurred.

The ground shook and the mountains swayed, as if a dragon had turned over.

Immediately afterward, everyone in Wanping County was horrified to see a magical scene.

A secret realm slowly rose from the earth's veins.

The aura of the secret realm's emergence couldn't be concealed from the experts in Yujing City.

In less than twenty breaths of time.

Swish—

Swish—

Swish—

Figures rapidly streaked across the sky, tearing through the night, and arrived above Wanping County.

Their gazes were fixed on the secret realm, their eyes revealing excitement and joy.

"Secret Realm!"

"Judging by the looks of it, the space inside the secret realm isn't small!"

"Hehe, you adults can take your time looking; this humble official will go in first to scout the way for you!"

"Old fool, would such a good thing ever be your turn?"

These figures all rushed toward the entrance of the secret realm.

According to the rules of the Great Yu, newly appearing secret realms are first come, first served.

Entering the secret realm at the first opportunity yields the greatest rewards.

However, just as everyone reached the entrance and was about to squeeze in.

The entrance of the secret realm suddenly emitted a halo of light, blasting everyone away.

Without exception, everyone staggered, almost falling from mid-air.

"This…"

"The secret realm seems to be rejecting us."

"Lord Li, you are a veteran of the Secret Realm Department; what do you make of this situation?"

Lord Li looked at the secret realm, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

"This secret realm seems to have a restriction on the cultivation level of those who enter."

"Our cultivation levels are too high; we can't enter."

"Generally speaking, this type of secret realm is mostly used to assess geniuses and cultivate juniors."

The others showed understanding upon hearing Lord Li's explanation.

"So, this isn't a natural secret realm but rather one that has already been developed."

"It's just that, for some reason, it has now reappeared!"

"That's right!"

"It seems that this secret realm will benefit the juniors."

"I think we should have the juniors in the court explore the secret realm as soon as possible."

"With the scale of this secret realm, it definitely can't be hidden from the major holy lands; they will definitely want to get a piece of the pie when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

They still had great faith in Lord Li's judgment.

Just looking at the scale of this secret realm, it was definitely extraordinary.

How could the major holy lands endure this?

They would definitely want to get involved.

Despite the current Great Yu Dynasty's dominance, the Five Surnames and Seven Clans, as well as the major holy lands, still possessed extremely strong power.

Near their lairs, they could be said to be countries within countries, where the court's decrees were ineffective.

The situation in the Great Yu Dynasty could be described as the Son of Heaven co-ruling the world with the aristocratic families and holy lands.

If the major holy land families wanted to get involved, they wouldn't be able to stop them.

After thinking about this, everyone transformed into rainbows of light and returned to Yujing City, beginning to arrange for their respective families' disciples to enter the secret realm.

The news that a training-type secret realm had appeared in Wanping County quickly spread.

As soon as Zhou Haochen heard this, he knew that this was the secret realm where Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum was located.

However, he didn't act immediately.

Having the key, he was naturally much faster than others.

Right now, he needed to wait for the main force to enter the secret realm, and then he could fish in troubled waters and quietly take away the treasures in the mausoleum.

The court's actions were quite swift.

The next day, they organized a large group of juniors to prepare to enter the secret realm.

The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince…

Many princes, as well as the sons of various kings and marquises, also joined this grand event.

The conditions for entering the secret realm were also quickly tested.

Anyone below the Eighth Realm could enter.

Seeing Zhou Haochen's figure, the Crown Prince walked over and said with a smile.

"Thirteenth Brother, how about joining your eldest brother and traveling together?"

Perhaps because he had tipped off the Crown Prince in advance last night, the Crown Prince regarded Zhou Haochen as one of his own and extended an invitation.

Before Zhou Haochen could answer, the Second Prince also walked towards Zhou Haochen.

"Thirteenth Brother, there are too many people on the Eldest Brother's side; even if there are gains, you won't get much."

"Why not travel with your Second Brother? Your Second Brother has already reserved a spot for you."

After saying that, the Second Prince glanced at the Crown Prince with a provocative look.

The Crown Prince snorted coldly, his eyes gloomy.

Damn Second Brother!

You really don't put this eldest brother in your eyes.

You actually dare to poach my corner in front of me.

That fool probably still imagines that Fang Dongyun can seize the White Lotus Sect demons and overthrow me in one fell swoop.

It's just a pity that you don't know that Thirteenth Brother is on my side.

I have already cleaned up the loose ends of the White Lotus Sect.

Foolish Second Brother, you are still too early to be competing with me for Thirteenth Brother.

While the Crown Prince secretly slandered in his heart, the Second Prince sneered inwardly.

Foolish Eldest Brother, haven't you seen clearly by now whose side Thirteenth Brother is on?

Thirteenth Brother let Fang Dongyun pursue the demons of the White Lotus Sect, doesn't that clearly show that he is on my side.

You still dare to fantasize about winning over Thirteenth Brother?

Overestimating yourself!
