After speaking with Ming Nian, Dongguan had gained quite a lot.
After leaving the Yanfeng Guild Hall, he strolled through the city, in no hurry to return to his lodgings.
"The Two Great Ancient Kingdoms, the three first-rate powers, the Hidden Forces, the second- and third-rate kingdoms, the unaffiliated cultivators-the Origin Continent certainly is fascinating. And those secrets were also rather..." Dongguan shook his head.
The secrets Ming Nian had shared were indeed interesting, but for the most part, simply knowing them let him avoid certain minefields.
Trying to profit from them was probably wishful thinking.
Take the nearby Yao Kingdom and You Kingdom, for example. They were subordinate powers of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and Thunder Ancient Kingdom respectively, and in a sense, formed their borders.
