The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's Scheme

"Um?!"

Upon hearing the system's notification, Lu Changzhi's expression became somewhat strange.

This is doing whatever one wants...

"Looks like this isn't exactly a proper system after all."

A soft voice rang out, followed immediately by the system's voice:

"Master, once the Heart-Binding Devil Seed is successfully used, the user can issue commands to the target. After receiving the command, the target will automatically find a rationale and follow it. In addition, the master can also freely access the target's memories."

Although Lu Changzhi knew that the system was using an explanation as an explanation.

However, it must be said that if this is indeed the case, then it is true that one's side can do whatever it wants.

"In that case, let's take a look at Zhou Xun's memories first."

Lu Changzhi said softly.

Since I have nothing to do for the time being, I'll take a look through my memories and learn about the situation in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi focused his mind, and soon, memories began to appear.

The closer the time frame, the clearer the picture becomes.

The closest inquiry to this moment came from outside the secret realm, from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, seeking information about the progress of the mission within.

"This so-called mission..."

After a moment's thought, Lu Changzhi began to search along the clues provided by the mission.

Soon, the relevant memories resurfaced.

Lu Changzhi also learned the details of the mission.

"This is somewhat similar to the trial mission I have at hand."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

Zhou Xun's purpose in coming to the secret realm was also to collect essence blood.

The difference is that they collect the essence and blood of spirit beasts, while Zhou Xun wants to collect the essence and blood of humans, or more accurately, the essence and blood of talented younger generations.

Along with the mission, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty also provided a general list of forces and personnel.

The Eastern Region were not considered, likely because they were too weak.

The Buddhist Order of the Western Region, perhaps because of their practice of Buddhism, were not included in this list.

Send out two out of the four, then remove the original.

In the end, only the three holy land forces in the Northern Region and some secondary forces remained.

"So, the opening of this entire secret realm was all a setup from the very beginning?"

As the old saying goes, "A weasel paying respects to a chicken"—it's clear it's up to no good.

It was precisely for the essence and blood of these geniuses that this whole secret realm thing was created.

Of course, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty obviously did not intend to make things too obvious, so there were certain restrictions on the scope of the hunt.

Just like the top disciples of the three major forces, kill fewer of them; but those next to them who are not bad but have not reached the pinnacle, kill them at will.

After all, it's normal for unexpected things to happen in secret realms, and for there to be casualties.

Furthermore, no elders or powerful figures from other forces will enter the secret realm, so one can do as one pleases.

After briefly browsing the list related to the Northern Region, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

This Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty really knows how to choose.

If he remembered correctly, among those appointed were quite a few disciples of the Five Symbols Sect.

It's not easy for a disciple to leave the Five Symbols Sect, which is perfectly fine, to go out and study hard.

"If he's allowed to do this without restraint, it could really cause some trouble."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, his expression shifting slightly, then suddenly he realized something and a smile appeared on his face:

"So, in a way, Qin Jiuxiao actually did me a favor."

When the secret realm had just opened, Qin Jiuxiao was about to take action against Luo Zhen, which prevented Zhou Xun from following the usual practice of assassinating those geniuses.

"However, it seems that Luo Zhen is also being targeted?"

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, unsure of what the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was really after.

Because Luo Zhen of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land was listed separately in the mission, and there were many restrictions on him, the main objective was to capture him alive.

Is it because you feel your life is too peaceful and you're planning to invite Luo Zhen over to add some pressure?

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but find this amusing.

Continuing to delve deeper into the memory of the mission, they still couldn't find out who specifically issued it; they only knew one thing: the mission came from above.

What exactly is referred to as "above" is not mentioned.

After another round of observation based on his memories, Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.

Although Zhou Xun's strength was not bad, he didn't seem to belong to the management category in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty; instead, he seemed to be more like a worker.

Over the years, he has secretly done a lot to help the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

Based on what information about a potential genius was obtained, the child was orphaned at a young age and then brought back to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

There are also those who secretly monitor the younger generation of geniuses of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. If they disobey, they are immediately reported and, according to the orders passed down, are killed or have their cultivation and limbs crippled to provide them with their final reproductive value.

In addition, there were many other bloody and cruel acts.

After reading through the series of images, Lu Changzhi's brows furrowed somewhat.

Even though I already knew some of the things, facing the images from those memories was still much more impactful.

In addition, Lu Changzhi also noticed one point.

Although Zhou Xun was quite talented, his cultivation level had already improved so slowly that it had almost stopped.

To make further breakthroughs, the only way is to rely on the cultivation resources distributed by the higher-ups after completing the tasks.

As for why he was able to speed up time so easily when he took out the "Blood Refining Longevity Art," the reason was that Zhou Xun himself had also cultivated a similar technique.

Despite some differences, the general content can be considered a simplified version.

"That's certain, it's just a pity..."

Lu Changzhi shook his head slightly. He went through his memories but found no information related to the Blood Devil or the Devil Race.

Based on other information, it is clear that Zhou Xun's identity is not high enough to allow him to access this level.

However, despite his shortcomings in this regard, Zhou Xun himself was still highly trusted within the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

Therefore, with the help of his memories, Lu Changzhi also learned about many things related to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

Although it has no direct effect, it can be considered as planting a spy.

If there are any further developments from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, we can find out as soon as possible.

"If things don't go as planned in this secret realm, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty will probably come up with other solutions, right?"

Lu Changzhi uttered a soft sentence, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

I wonder if the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty will, or rather, if it is able to, use some means to bring over some Blood Demon Clan.

Being away from home for so long, I imagine Xue Chou must be missing his family very much.

With so many disciples of the Five Symbols Sect's patriarch, the consumption is no small amount, and they must be quite eager to acquire resources.
