Chapter 2492 After the Storm, an Old Friend Returns
He Lingchuan had already considered this, "Let's assume that the strongest person in the Duzhishan Secret Realm is Wang Ye. His performance ability should not exceed that of Shangguan Biao, the creator of the secret realm. Even if he was far more capable than that in real history."
Immortal Mingke immediately understood: "How powerful the peak power of the Duzhishan Secret Realm is depends on how powerful Shangguan Biao himself is?"
"Exactly."
Immortal Mingke, drawing inferences from one instance, said: "In other words, when the Panlong Army and the Changfeng Valley people clashed, the balance of power between the two sides depended on—"
“That’s right, it depends on who is stronger between me and Shangguan Biao.” He Lingchuan explained further, “As I said, the battle in the secret realm is just the surface. In essence, it is the mutual devouring of the Panlong Secret Realm and the Duzhishan Secret Realm. To put it more deeply, it is a contest between me and Shangguan Biao in terms of power, laws, and mastery of origin.”
Immortal Mingke said happily, "I understand, I understand! The Emperor's words have been very enlightening!"
He had visited countless ruins and secret realms, but his understanding of them was still inferior to that of the true owners of those realms.
"So, the Panlong Secret Realm is now firmly bound to the Great Square Pot?"
“Yes, it’s even closer than before.” He Lingchuan also needed to use him to pass on this message to Lingshan. “Furthermore, the Panlong Secret Realm can operate stably without drawing power from me, which is different from Shangguan Biao’s secret realm. So, even if I encounter any accident, its connection with the Great Square Pot will not be broken.”
The Soul-Capturing Mirror in his arms let out a soft "Huh?": "Master didn't seem to have said that originally."
Blood Demon: "He didn't tell the whole truth. He judged that the Great Square Pot would eventually return to reality, and at that time, the Panlong Secret Realm would definitely experience turmoil again."
The mirror was a little scared.
Next, He Lingchuan also acted as a tour guide, leading several companions to visit the Panlong Secret Realm and providing commentary along the way.
Panlongcheng is a miracle on the Chipa Plateau, a magnificent war project that amazes everyone who sees it.
Dong Rui also discovered that there were many other landmarks hidden in this city, such as a huge snow mountain in the north of the city and the guardian beast of the east gate, which was the Qing Tu Great Ghost.
It is evident that the Panlong Secret Realm borrowed features from the Liuguang Secret Realm, and some changes can be made here according to He Lingchuan's wishes.
As He Lingchuan walked down the familiar long street, he was filled with mixed emotions.
The new Panlong Secret Realm is a highly accurate recreation of the city he last entered the Panlong World from his memory.
That was many, many years ago.
I wonder if there have been any changes in the world of Panlong today.
Although the Great Pot is connected to the Panlong Secret Realm, it does not open the Panlong World to him, the master of the secret realm.
He Lingchuan didn't know what it was busy with, but he had a feeling that the reopening of Panlong World was not far off.
Especially after it devoured the Radiant Realm.
While Mingke Xianren was having a great time in the city, he kept one question to himself:
How exactly was this secret city, so different from reality, constructed?
The essence of the secret realm is "fragments or memories of the past," with the emphasis on the word "past."
In other words, if Panlong City in the memories of Emperor Jiuyou were not like this, it would have been difficult for him to build the city so large, so comprehensive, and so... reasonable.
But this secret city is indeed several times larger and more prosperous than reality.
Even if he could alter some of the memories like Shangguan Biao, it would only be "partial," and it would be impossible to change the system at its root.
So what exactly did the Nine Nether Emperor use as a template to create this secret realm?
￥￥￥￥￥
The Nine Nether Emperor was very busy. On one hand, he had to maintain communication with the Earth Mother and follow up on the inventory of Shangguan Biao's estate and the preservation of the relics. On the other hand, he had to properly negotiate with various forces.
He had just reached an agreement with Lingshan when he immediately met with the special envoy from Shen Kingdom.
In the later years after Shangguan Biao lost power, Shan Youjun also led the Shen Kingdom army into Yujing City to besiege the demon army in order to avenge Shangguan Biao's invasion of the Shen Kingdom's border.
In the past, Shangguan Biao allowed monsters in the city to roam freely and devour people, destroying more than a dozen villages and towns around Blackwater City and disrupting trade on Red Cliff Road, causing huge losses to the Shen Kingdom. Taking advantage of Shangguan Biao's downfall, the Shen Kingdom's army retaliated fiercely, satisfying both external and internal grievances.
After the great battle, the Earth Mother took over Yujing City and began to drive away visitors. Shan Youjun decisively led the Shen Kingdom army out of the city without lingering.
The two sides agreed to meet at the south gate of Panlong Ancient City, which is the home ground of the Nine Nether Emperor.
He Lingchuan originally thought that the person he was meeting this time was Shan Youjun.
However, although the leader who led the group was dressed in wide robes, his figure looked somewhat familiar, and He Lingchuan knew who he was.
Sure enough, the other person walked to the foot of the city gate, ripped off his mask, and revealed a face that He Lingchuan knew very well:
Prince Shen He Chunhua.
"Chuan... Emperor Jiuyou!" He Chunhua was extremely excited. He stepped forward and first clasped his hands in a salute, "It's been a long time!"
The last time he parted from his eldest son was in this ancient city of Panlong.
More than ten years later, we met again under the South Gate, as if a cycle had come full circle.
Even with his temperament and experience, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.
He Lingchuan stepped forward and returned the greeting: "Why didn't you inform me beforehand that Prince Shen was coming in person? I should have treated him with proper courtesy."
"It's good to meet you, it's good to meet you!" A glint appeared in He Chunhua's eyes. "There's no need for those formalities."
His eldest son called him "King Shen," a very official and proper title.
He Lingchuan merely smiled slightly at his outward display of emotion and gestured towards the plaza, saying, "Please."
By the time He Yue first visited Cang Yan, the past grievances between He Lingchuan and He Chunhua had already faded away, and neither of them bothered to mention them.
Only the strong deserve such magnanimity.
As He Chunhua walked through the magnificent South Gate, he couldn't help but look up and gaze at it: "The ancient city gate of Panlong City is still so impressive."
For more than 170 years, it has fought countless tough battles with its enemies and with time itself.
More than 170 years later, it fought a fierce battle with Shangguan Biao again as a relic and won a great victory.
This ancient city, scarred and battered, like its inhabitants, will never bow its head.
However, after passing through the ancient and imposing south gate of the city, a beautiful scene of lush green trees and clear waters unfolds before you. After regaining control of Yujing City, the Earth Mother set about restoring Panlong Ancient City, making it less dilapidated and more vibrant.
Of course, after a series of battles, the ancient city was no longer what it once was. Many strange trees, buildings, and even landforms appeared within its walls. For example, a huge underground cave appeared behind the small hill to the west of the city; a large lake appeared behind the Shumin Academy; and a giant ghost head appeared atop the east gate tower—
The Great Demon Qingtu has moved here to stand guard.
It used to serve Shangguan Biao, but now it's been laid off and re-employed, and it's doing just as well as before.
