Chapter 1262 - 1263: Plots and Schemes
In the Ancient Times, the myriad worlds was an era of extreme brilliance, where the cultivation techniques of the time were far more formidable than those of the present.
Moreover, many arts have not been lost.
It's not that they were lost, but some people, short-sighted, tightly grasped these arts in their hands, unwilling to pass them on.
This kind of short-sighted existence is found in the Upper Realm of the Immortals.
The Ancient Transmission Gate, this teleportation skill, was a transfer technique used by the Soul Martial Artists of the Ancient Times.
The portal formed contains spatial fluctuations that move people to distant locations at an extremely fast speed.
One could say, it happens in an instant.
In contrast, the transmission array of the Huaxia Empire on Lin Qian's side navigates through the starry void's spatial layers, so the transmission speed naturally cannot compare to the Ancient Transmission Gate.
Fast speed is the advantage of the Ancient Transmission Gate.
However, the transmission array of the Huaxia Empire has its own advantage, which is the minimal consumption of soul energy, saving a lot of resources.
One is fast but costly.
The other is cost-effective but slow.
Each has its pros and cons, but the true significance of this Ancient Transmission Gate lies in that if the Netherworld Clan gains control of it, they will be able to directly reach the Nine Heavens through it.
In that case, the enemy could easily attack from within their stronghold, very easily.
Understanding what's inside the dirt sphere, Lin Qian also grasped the opponent's intentions, realizing the clever scheme they had planned.
Through this Ancient Transmission Gate, they could directly reach the hinterland of their Nine Heavens. With the Netherworld Clan lurking within the Nine Heavens, if they coordinated inside and outside, it would probably take little effort to break through the Nine Heavens.
By that time, with the Upper Realm of Immortals having to deal with the main forces of the Netherworld Clan, the lower mortal realm behind them would be conquered by the Netherworld Clan. In that situation, being attacked from both front and back, would be disastrous.
For this reason, the Human Ancestor decided to completely seal this Ancient Transmission Gate in the past.
And as for why the Human Ancestor did not destroy this transmission gate back then, Lin Qian speculated that his grandfather's plan might have been to, once they were stronger, use this Ancient Transmission Gate to counterattack the Netherworld Clan.
The reason the other end of this Ancient Transmission Gate, which the Netherworld Clan has been reluctant to destroy, is probably the same plan.
However, now, the indigenous beings of their side in the Chaos Universe have no way to counterattack back.
Their own Human Ancestor could only seal this Ancient Transmission Gate.
To open the sealing array requires the Flame Gold Seal and the Cold Earth Seal as keys, with his own and descendant's blood as the catalyst.
Only in this way can the sealing array be opened.
On the other hand, as the Flame Gold Clan and the Cold Earth Clan thrive in the two realms, their population's aura becomes the nourishment for the sealing array's aura, preventing the array from declining.
As long as the population of the Flame Gold Clan and Cold Earth Clan in the two realms increases, the aura becomes stronger, and the sealing array will never weaken.
This is why their ancestral teachings dictate that the two clans must not leave these two realms to thrive.
The goal is for their population to continue growing and accumulating, staying within these two realms.
"So that's it, in the future, this Ancient Transmission Gate might become an opportunity for the Huaxia Empire's counterattack." Lin Qian realized, sensing the Ancient Transmission Gate within the sealing array, and transmitted the situation and structural information to the Heavenly Art Department.
Zhuge Ming, having received the data from the Ancient Transmission Gate, was visibly very excited.
It must be said, there is still much in this world waiting for Lin Qian and his team to learn.
Like this ancient transmission array, Zhuge Ming expressed his excitement that with the data from this Ancient Transmission Gate, their transmission array would greatly improve.
By leveraging the design of both, to balance transmission speed and consumption, a truly complete transmission array will appear within the Huaxia Empire.
Knowing this, Lin Qian nodded in satisfaction, taking the Flame Gold Seal and the Cold Earth Seal from their grooves, storing them in his Xuanhuan Star.
"It seems that there's no need for strict defense at this point." After getting up, Lin Qian looked down at the low platform at his feet, chuckling as he muttered to himself.
With the Flame Gold Seal and Cold Earth Seal in his Xuanhuan Star, to unseal them, one would need to take the Flame Gold Seal and Cold Earth Seal from his Xuanhuan Star.
It's an almost impossible task, how could the other side achieve that?
Without these two seals, they cannot open the seal, so there's no need for much defense here.
However, Lin Qian will still leave several reconnaissance warships in this void.
The purpose is simple, this place is likely completely under surveillance by the Netherworld Clan.
There's no need to think much to know that they will surely send many people to observe this place.
If we wait for them, quite a few may fall into the trap.
After resolving the matters here, Lin Qian returned to the original location, informing Yan Yifei and Han Yuanjie that the issues at this location are no longer a concern.
Next, their task is to assist with the transformation of the Huaxia Empire, turning the territories of their two realms into Huaxia Empire-styled areas.
On the other hand, Lin Qian also informed them that from now on they no longer need to follow the ancestral teachings. If there are extra territories, they can go there, without too many people crowded on one star, relieving the situation of having too many people on too little land.
"Really?" Both Yan Yifei and Han Yuanjie were pleasantly surprised.
Lin Qian nodded, confirming that it was indeed true and not deceiving them.
The original purpose of the ancestral teachings was to ensure that the sealing array would not weaken but instead grow stronger.
But now, there's no need for such measures. Even if the people of the Flame Gold Clan and Cold Earth Clan from the two realms leave for other territories, reducing the population, the sealing array will not weaken significantly.
Furthermore, Lin Qian is confident that before the sealing array weakens, his Huaxia Empire will already have the strength to lead an army to counterattack the territories of the Netherworld Clan.
Overjoyed, Yan Yifei and Han Yuanjie watched as Lin Qian, laying out his troops, gazed towards the direction of Daojiang Country.
"Eight-Eyed Divine Race? Hmph, if that's the case, let's first exterminate the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan and see if we can force your so-called Eight-Eyed Divine Race to come out."
Thinking about the so-called Eight-Eyed Divine Race hiding within the Nine Heavens, Lin Qian felt uneasy.
Since he discovered them, he might as well exterminate them for simplicity.
No matter what schemes or plots they have, they will all be obliterated.
