Chapter turning in response to his will.
"Three layers?"
A flash of doubt passed through Chen Qing's eyes.
Before coming here, he too had perused no small number of texts concerning the Stacked Heaven Spirit Ground, all of them mentioned only two layers, called Stacked Heaven and the Spirit Ground respectively, with no record of a third layer.
Hao Jingnian held his long saber level before him, his fingertip slowly tracing along the blade, blue-green saber light flickering unsteadily within the dim cave.
He said flatly, "Why do you think the Dao Court placed such importance on the Stacked Heaven Spirit Ground back then? Great Dao techniques, supreme Dao Soldiers, even lost treasure medicines, with the Dao Court's foundation back then, which of these did they lack? Why go so far as to dispatch dedicated personnel to keep watch over this place?"
Chen Qing fell silent, saying nothing.
What Hao Jingnian said was indeed true.
At the height of its power, the Dao Court had ruled over the nine heavens and ten lands, its ranks filled with experts like clouds, its treasury piled high with heaven-sent materials and earthly treasures that would leave any blessed land far behind in envy. If the Stacked Heaven Spirit Ground held only the fated opportunities of the Ten Treasure Grounds, the Dao Court would surely have valued it, but certainly not to this extent.
There must be some hidden matter here, unknown to outsiders.
