"From then on, the Xuanyuan Dynasty endured for ten thousand years, until the hands of its last human king, Mang. Suddenly, several mysterious powerhouses arrived from overseas and broke into the Xuanyuan Dynasty's royal palace. On that day, the heavens and earth of Tianyue Island lost their color, and all living things wailed!"
"After that battle, the capital of the Xuanyuan Dynasty sank, and one-fifth of Tianyue Island's land lost its vital energy. Even now, the spiritual energy has not fully recovered and is very thin!"
"Are you saying that the reason for the thin spiritual energy of my Great Han is due to an event ten thousand years ago?"
Yang Hao pondered. What kind of power could it be that could completely drain the spiritual energy within a radius of thousands of miles, making it difficult to recover for ten thousand years? Even with the restoration of the Nine Cauldrons, the barren land was difficult to turn around.
"That's right. After that battle, the Xuanyuan Dynasty collapsed. After killing his way out of the capital, Xuanyuan Human King Mang was already heavily wounded and his life was coming to an end. Xuanyuan Human King Mang clung to his last breath. After those mysterious powerhouses retreated from Tianyue Island, he buried the dynasty's ten thousand years of accumulation in a secret treasure. It is also rumored that the secret method for the dynasty's advancement was also taken into the secret treasure!"
Han Yue said with a smile.
I don't believe a word you say. Since you know everything so clearly, why did you make the Xuanyuan Token public and hand it over to others? Han Yue's words are three parts truth and seven parts falsehood; one cannot believe them entirely, nor dismiss them all.
Coupled with that smile, it made Yang Hao's skin crawl.
"Moreover, the King of Chu frequently enters and exits the Prison Spirit Abyss. It is highly likely that the State of Chu has already found the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty!"
Han Yue frowned and stared at the calm Yang Hao: "King of Han, the State of Chu is actually the remnant of the Xuanyuan Dynasty!"
"What did you say??"
After hearing Han Yue's words, the fog shrouding the State of Chu and the Prison Spirit Abyss gradually dissipated. Only the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty could have such great charm to make the ruler of a nation so obsessed with the Prison Spirit Abyss for decades.
However, since the State of Chu is a descendant of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, they should be familiar with the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. Why did they wait for ten thousand years and only open it now?
"At the entrance of the Xuanyuan Secret Treasure, Xuanyuan Human King Mang exhausted his life's effort to set up a great formation. When those mysterious powerhouses returned to Tianyue Island, they found the Xuanyuan Dynasty's secret treasure. Unfortunately, after decades of searching, they were unable to enter the Xuanyuan Dynasty's secret treasure."
"The power of that great formation could last for ten thousand years, and only after ten thousand years could the formation's eye possibly loosen. Moreover, at that time, those mysterious powerhouses were fully pursuing the lineage of the Xuanyuan Human King. The ancestors of the State of Chu went through untold hardships and avoided pursuit. After those mysterious powerhouses withdrew from Tianyue Island, it took a hundred years to establish the State of Chu."
"To prevent the mysterious powerhouses from returning to Tianyue, the ancestors of the State of Chu ordered successive kings of Chu to act with low profiles, so that the forces of the mysterious powerhouses would forget about the Human King lineage!"
"It is a pity that while the successive kings of Chu calculated against the forces of the mysterious powerhouses, why were the latter not using the lineage of the Human King to open the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty!"
"What do you mean?"
Han Yue's words became more and more obscure.
"That great formation would only loosen after ten thousand years, but it would not collapse. To break the formation, the blood of the Human King lineage is needed, and it must be the blood of young boys and girls who have just grown up."
"After all, the direct bloodline of Xuanyuan Human King Mang had long been killed by those mysterious powerhouses. They would turn a blind eye to these insignificant individuals, using them to open the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty."
"You mean, the three thousand young boys and girls that the King of Chu leads every time he enters the Prison Spirit Abyss are to weaken the great formation and open the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty?"
Yang Hao said in surprise. In the past thirty years, more than twenty thousand innocent lives had been used by the King of Chu to weaken the great formation and open the secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
Han Yue looked at Yang Hao's slightly dazed eyes and calculated in her heart: "King of Han, you probably have two Xuanyuan Tokens in your hand!"
"Indeed!"
Yang Hao directly admitted it. With the strength of the Loulan Kingdom, it would not be difficult for them to verify this.
"It appears that, according to the investigations of my Loulan over the past thousand years, all nine Xuanyuan Tokens have now appeared. The Great Han has two, the Jin Kingdom has one, the State of Chu has three, my Loulan has two, and the Baiyue Kingdom has one. The secret treasure of the Xuanyuan Dynasty is likely to be opened soon!"
"King of Han, my trip to the Great Han has been very fruitful. To ensure the safety of the Xuanyuan Dynasty's secret treasure, I must temporarily take my leave. I hope that our two countries can join hands at that time, as the State of Chu, with the ancient existence of the Prison Spirit Abyss guarding it, is not something that our two countries can contend against!"
Han Yue frowned, bowed slightly to Yang Hao, and walked towards the hall entrance.

"Yao Li, what do you think of what she said?"
As soon as Yang Hao's voice fell, a man about five feet tall appeared in the hall! Su Dan Novel Network
This suddenly appearing man was Yao Li, whom Yang Hao had appointed as a奉 (gong feng) of the Great Han.
"Your Majesty, regardless of this woman's motives or the identity of the powerful figure behind her, none of that is important. What is important is that the State of Chu to our southwest is definitely a ticking time bomb."
"The State of Chu has formed an alliance with the Prison Spirit Abyss. We standing with Loulan is, from the current situation, not a bad choice. The Great Virtuous Teacher and Zhangsun Wuji, etc., are dealing with the war in Liaoguo, and General Meng Tian is in the north. Our front lines are a bit stretched. Reaching an alliance with the Loulan Kingdom would not be a bad thing for us!"
"After all, Loulan is mysterious. Even with this woman's cultivation realm, I cannot see through her."
Yao Li closed his eyes, lowered his head, his voice clear yet chillingly cold.
Indeed!
When Yang Hao heard about Tianyue Island from Han Yue, he realized how vast the world was. If such a large landmass existed on a small island, then how vast must the continents of this world be?
Loulan has only risen for a thousand years, yet it can contend with the States of Chu and Liao. The background power of Loulan is also immense. The matter that the King of Chu handles every three years is probably also under Loulan's control.
Why would Loulan easily give up the Xuanyuan Token? What hidden agenda do they have?
The Xuanyuan Token pertains to the method of dynasty advancement. The Loulan Kingdom can easily produce it. With the strength behind Loulan, it is likely that the secret method of dynasty advancement is not in the tomb of the Xuanyuan Human King.
From the reasons for the fall of the Xuanyuan Dynasty that he learned from her, Han Yue must have hidden some important reasons. A dynasty could be easily destroyed, yet the State of Chu, a descendant of the Xuanyuan Human King lineage, was allowed to develop freely for ten thousand years. The dynasty's fall was so rapid, its reasons so mysterious, and then there were those mysterious powerhouses. All these scenes pointed to the Xuanyuan Dynasty's secret treasure buried for ten thousand years!
