Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Chapter 256 The Xuanyuan Family's Scheme

To put it another way, after it was determined that the three ancient families would each take charge of a different direction.

After initially killing some third-tier Rakshasa, the members of the Xuanyuan family did not actively search for third-tier Rakshasa again, but instead headed straight eastward.

"Ninth Uncle, do you think they won't suspect anything?" Xuan Yuanche leaned closer to a cultivator who looked younger than him and asked respectfully.

This cultivator, known as Ninth Uncle, appears young, but in reality, he possesses profound cultivation and is a Nascent Soul stage expert hidden here by the Xuanyuan family.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as a hawk's, and scanned the surroundings before saying in a low voice, "There's no need to worry for now. This secret realm is vast and complex, and all the forces are busy searching for fragments of laws, so they have no time to speculate on our intentions."

“I’m worried that once Gu Xuan’s true Daoist temple is revealed, if that flower demon’s strength hasn’t diminished, we might not be able to handle it.” Xuan Yuanche frowned, his eyes revealing deep concern.

“Our ancestor’s lifespan is nearing its end. Low-level law fragments will no longer be of much use to help him break through his bottleneck and prolong his lifespan. We must enter the Ancient Profound Dao Field and take advantage of the flower demon’s weakness to extract the law crystal from its body in order to continue the family’s glory! Therefore, this risk is unavoidable!” The young cultivator known as Ninth Uncle slowly spoke.

Xuanyuan Che took a deep breath, suppressing his inner worries, and nodded.

The secret realm only opens once every thousand years, and the Xuanyuan family can no longer wait.

In fact, this secret realm has been opened dozens of times, and even if there were opportunities, it would have been almost completely plundered.

However, the fragments of laws produced within are unique in that they contain the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and have immeasurable value for high-level cultivators to comprehend the Dao of Heaven and break through bottlenecks. Therefore, each time the secret realm opens, it becomes a battlefield for fierce competition among the three ancient families.

However, this time, the Xuanyuan family did not focus on ordinary fragments of laws.

These ordinary law fragments contain extremely rare laws of heaven and earth; it takes tens of thousands of fragments to condense a single fourth-order fragment.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, this is undoubtedly a top-tier cultivation resource that is extremely rare and hard to come by. If they can utilize the fourth-order law fragments, they will have a chance to break through to the Divine Transformation realm.

However, because the power contained in the fragments of laws is too great, Nascent Soul cultivators must rely on the Deity Transformation cultivators in their families to refine them before they dare to use them with peace of mind.

For Nascent Soul cultivators themselves, the fourth-order law fragments are equally significant.

Although it cannot directly help them break through their current level, it can help them gain a deeper understanding of the Dao, thus laying a solid foundation for breaking through bottlenecks in the future.

Among the three ancient families, Nascent Soul cultivators usually only receive a reward from their ancestor if they make great contributions or if their family has surplus reserves.

Of course, if the family intends to focus on cultivating outstanding younger generations, the situation is different.

Therefore, the fragments of the laws are also related to the future of the three ancient families. If one of them suddenly has a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, it will undoubtedly break the delicate balance between the three families and thus gain an absolute advantage in many aspects such as resource allocation and sphere of influence.

This is why, every time a secret realm opens, the three ancient families fight tooth and nail for the fragments of laws.

However, the Xuanyuan family is now facing an awkward situation of a generational gap.

Although there are several promising Nascent Soul cultivators in the family, they still have a long way to go before breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm.

However, the patriarch of the family is nearing the end of his life. If he cannot find a way out during this trip to the secret realm, the family's glory may become history.

Fortunately, the opening of the secret realm a thousand years ago gave them hope.

At that time, cultivators from the Xuanyuan family accidentally discovered a strange jade plate in the secret realm.

At first, everyone thought they had found a peerless magic treasure and were overjoyed. However, after a closer inspection, they were greatly disappointed, as the jade plate had neither offensive nor defensive capabilities.

However, since this item appeared in the secret realm, it must have some unknown purpose.

Therefore, they planned to take this item out of the secret realm and study it slowly.

However, when they tried to take the jade plate out, they encountered an unexpected incident...
