178: Secrets of the Blue Star

While everyone was bewildered, Shen Mo, on the other side, had already been led into the main hall.

The Heavenly Dragon King’s figure was currently seated at the head of the hall.

“Your name is Shen Mo?”

He said gently, “You don’t need to be afraid.”

“I just wanted to meet you.”

“Nangong Mingyue already told you about the Royal Forbidden Ground, right?”

Upon hearing this, black lines appeared on Shen Mo’s forehead.

Good heavens, so your whole family knows about this!

Oh, but there are still some who don’t know.

Shen Mo thought of the Third Princess and some other members of the royal family.

It seems this matter is limited to Nangong Mingyue, the Heavenly Dragon King, and other core members of the royal family.

Or perhaps, only Nangong Mingyue and the Heavenly Dragon King know.

Indeed, as he was thinking this, the Heavenly Dragon King on the other side had already said to himself, “You don’t need to worry, only I and Nangong Mingyue know about this. Perhaps Lingyu also knows, but that’s not important.”

“Nangong Mingyue is my chosen heir, and only she can open the core of the Royal Forbidden Ground.”

“This matter was only known to the two of us, but now, you and Lingyu have been added.”

The Heavenly Dragon King’s words stopped here, and then he covered his mouth, coughing heavily for a while.

And as he spoke, black lines appeared on Shen Mo’s forehead. Good heavens, what exactly do you want to say?

And as he was thinking this in his heart, the Heavenly Dragon King stopped coughing, and then slowly looked at him and said, “I can’t quite see your origins clearly.”

“Nangong Mingyue said she couldn’t find your origins?”

“Your Excellency, are you from the Blue Star outside?”

“Does Your Majesty want me to say yes, or no?” Shen Mo did not directly deny it.

He could tell that the Heavenly Dragon King had no ill will towards him.

Or rather, he had no ill will towards the “Blue Star” outside.

Shen Mo was a little curious. The Heavenly Dragon King actually knew about “Blue Star.” Was it from the inheritance of the civilization cornerstone, or from the Holy Temple Envoy?

And the Heavenly Dragon King seemed to know what Shen Mo was thinking, and he said, “I know all these things from the civilization cornerstone.”

“And the people of the Holy Temple are the same.”

“However, their goal is not just to deal with Blue Star, but… to invade Blue Star!”

The Heavenly Dragon King spoke, looking up at Shen Mo, but found that the other party showed no surprise. He said with some astonishment, “You’re not surprised? Did you know from the beginning?”

Shen Mo nodded honestly, “Yes, I thought of it when Nangong Mingyue said the Holy Temple people wanted to sacrifice this place with blood.”

“After all, there’s no reason for them to destroy themselves.”

“So, they must have a better place to go—”

Shen Mo spread his hands and said, “Isn’t that better place the Blue Star?”

His words stopped here, and then he looked at the Heavenly Dragon King with some curiosity and said, “Actually, I also have something I want to ask Your Majesty.”

“You all want to go to Blue Star, why?”

Shen Mo’s face showed great curiosity, “The spiritual energy here is clearly much higher than on Blue Star.”

“Oh, you probably don’t know, the spiritual energy on Blue Star is very scarce, it’s called the Age of Dharma Decline, and it was only with the recent spiritual energy recovery, when your spiritual energy flowed into Blue Star, that it triggered Blue Star’s spiritual energy recovery.”

“Speaking of which, going to Blue Star is not as good as staying in the small world.”

“Why? Why are you so determined to go to Blue Star?”

The Heavenly Dragon King and the others were the first group of secret realm humans Shen Mo had encountered, so he was very curious about their answer.

After all, he didn’t know if the high-level officials of Blue Star had contacted other secret realm humans and knew anything, so he could only start with the Heavenly Dragon King and his group.

And hearing his words, the Heavenly Dragon King pondered for a moment and said, “It doesn’t matter if I tell you.”

“There is indeed no spiritual energy on Blue Star.”

“Because when heaven and earth were separated, the source of spiritual energy for the blessed lands was already cut off by us.”

“As for why we want to return to Blue Star.”

“It’s probably because of returning to our roots! We originated from the small world, and in reality, we have always wanted to return to the great world.” He said leisurely, “But these are not the most important reasons…”

“The most important reason is… Blue Star is our ancestral land!”

“It contains the opportunity to become an immortal!”

The Heavenly Dragon King’s gaze fixed on Shen Mo, and then he whispered, “Our development in the small world is limited.”

“And only by returning to the great world and receiving the favor of the origin can we continue to develop and advance to a higher realm.”

“And the origin we need is within Blue Star.”

“You can understand it as, although Blue Star is barren now, it is destined to be invincible in the future and will nurture countless invincible seeds.”

“And only when we are on Blue Star can we receive the favor of these destinies, gain the assistance of the origin, and become stronger, supreme existences in this world!”

Shen Mo understood the Heavenly Dragon King’s words vaguely.

But he could vaguely understand that there was something they wanted on Blue Star, something that could help them break through to the highest realm.

The aura of origin, what was that?

Shen Mo’s thoughts raced in his mind, and then he looked at the Heavenly Dragon King and said, “So the people of the Holy Temple want to destroy this place because they found a way out?”

“And it rests on those outsiders?”

Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to lure them in?

And when his words came out, the Heavenly Dragon King shook his head slightly and said, “Not entirely.”

He glanced at Shen Mo slightly and said, “Their purpose in luring those people in is just one aspect.”

“Think about it, if they sacrifice this place with blood and gain supreme power, why would they need to be wary of you?”

“It doesn’t matter whether they lure you in or not.”

“Their purpose in luring you in is because they want to open more than just this one secret realm!”

The Heavenly Dragon King’s words here actually hinted at Shen Mo’s identity, but he didn’t state it explicitly. Instead, he said with a calm expression, “You had better be prepared.”

“Once this secret realm is opened, I’m afraid it will be a chain reaction!”

When his words came out, Shen Mo’s heart was slightly startled, and his expression immediately became serious.

“Does Your Majesty mean… there are other people here?”

“People from other secret realms?”

Shen Mo almost immediately understood the Heavenly Dragon King’s meaning.

The latter looked at him with approval and said, “That’s right!”

“So, you had better be prepared.”

“I don’t mind cooperating with you outsiders, but others are different!”

“Opening the barrier of the secret realm requires a lot of blood.”

“And your people, perhaps, fit this perfectly.”
