"Jing Wuhuan? Yu Shenfeng? "
Luo Zheng had never heard of these two names.
Old Man Evil nodded. "Yes. Although Gu Bei has become a Saint, he doesn't have many descendants. The Gu family has very few people, but his two disciples are very powerful! Especially the eldest senior brother, Jing Wuhuan. He has the potential to become a Saint! "
Since Jing Wuhuan was the eldest senior brother, then the second senior brother he had met before should be called Yu Shenfeng.
"With these two protecting you on the Sea of Time, hehe, you can do whatever you want," Old Man Evil joked. "Unfortunately …"
In terms of background, Luo Zheng had a higher starting point than many of the core disciples of the wealthy families.
Unfortunately, Luo Zheng's opponents were too powerful …
The first one he had to face was Mu Haiji, and even the entire Holy Church!
Luo Zheng's two senior brothers were indeed powerful, but if Luo Zheng casually showed up now, they might not be able to protect him.
"It's not suitable for me to look for them now." Luo Zheng shook his head.
The relationship between Luo Xiao, Gu Bei, and Jiu Sheng was probably not a secret in the Holy Church. Luo Xiao had been dealt with, and Gu Bei was not in the divine territory. Luo Zheng did not know about Jiu Sheng's situation, but those around Gu Bei would definitely be under Mu Haiji's surveillance. Luo Zheng was not stupid enough to show up.
"It's not suitable for you to look for them on the floating island, but with this relationship, hehe …" Old Man Evil smiled mysteriously. "You will have a chance elsewhere!"
"Elsewhere?" Luo Zheng was startled.
Old Man Evil continued, "You still don't know much about the divine territory. Hehe, remember you asked me about the use of Shenwu coins?"
Luo Zheng's eyes flashed. "Right, you said you would tell me about the use of Shenwu coins when we reach the floating island. Can you tell me now?"
Ever since Luo Zheng came into contact with the local customs of the divine territory, he had been very suspicious about Shenwu coins.
This black disc itself seemed to be worthless, but the purchasing power of Shenwu coins was quite strong. Even if a martial artist who had proven himself to be a god worked hard for many years, it would still be difficult to exchange for the value of a single Shenwu coin. Such a currency system was unimaginable in the universe!
From this point of view, Shenwu Coin was definitely not a currency issued by a certain clan. This could only mean that Shenwu Coin had a very important function. It was so important that all the third-tier, second-tier, and even first-tier wealthy families could not ignore it.
"Hehe, do you know what's the biggest thing in the divine territory?" Old Man Extreme Evil laughed. At this point, he was still planning to keep Luo Zheng in suspense.
"Sage?" Luo Zheng asked tentatively.
Old Man Evil shook his head.
Luo Zheng pondered for a moment and then said, "If it's not the Sage, then it should be that stone slab."
The Ten Thousand Commandments Slate, also known as the Governing Slate.
Even a Sage could not defy this slate. Just based on its strength alone, this slate deserved to be called the Ruling Slate.
"That's right." The Evil Old Man nodded. "There are all kinds of rules on the Governance Slate. These rules have been accumulated over countless divine epochs. They are also the product of constant compromises and negotiations between the Saints of the Noble Clans. Have you ever wondered how these rules were written?"
"From time to time, they write by hand …" Luo Zheng was puzzled.
The Ten Commandments Slate and the Hundred Commandments Slate in the Central Divine City were all like this. Luo Zheng also thought that the Governing Slate was the same.
Old Man Extreme Evil did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Do you think the Governing Slate is an ordinary slate? The slates you see are nothing compared to the Governing Slate. If you could casually write rules on them, the divine territory would be in chaos … "
The Ten Thousand Commandments Slate in Six Ren Divine City was already very powerful. However, it could only defend against ordinary upper-level true gods. If it was a Sage's disciple or a slightly more powerful upper-level true god, the Ten Thousand Commandments Slate's rules would not be able to do anything to them.
However, the Governing Slate was different.
Sages were already at the pinnacle of this world, but they were still trapped by the Governing Slate.
There had once been a Sage who tried to resist the Governing Slate but was severely punished in the end. In history, there were also some Sages who had violated the Governing Slate's rules and had no choice but to escape from the divine territory. They wandered in the chaos and did not dare to return to the divine territory …
Hence, the Governing Slate's rules were ironclad rules. Other than some small loopholes, no one could go against them.
As a stowaway, Luo Zheng did not go through the Jiang Family's reception.
In fact, he had violated the Governing Slate's rules. However, he had the Golden Bloodline. Luo Xiao had meticulously searched for loopholes in the Governing Slate to avoid the Governing Slate's punishment. Hence, Luo Zheng could be considered to have taken advantage of the Governing Slate's loophole this time.
After all, no matter how powerful the Governing Slate was, it was just a slate. It would only act according to the rules. However, rules that were set always had some flaws and loopholes that could be studied.
"Then, what's the connection between the Governing Slate and Shenwu Coins?" Luo Zheng found it difficult to connect the two, so he was still puzzled.
Old Man Evil explained, "It's very simple. Whether it's changing the rules on the Governing Slate or writing new rules, it requires Shenwu Coins."
"Using Shenwu Coins to write?" Luo Zheng blinked.
Old Man Evil's eyes widened. "After grinding Shenwu Coins, the essence is extracted to make Shenwu Ink!"
Controlling the Governing Slate was equivalent to controlling the divine territory.
And the Divine Martial Ink was the only material that could leave behind words on the Command Slate!
"Using Shenwu Coins to make Shenwu Ink can write the rules of the entire divine territory." Luo Zheng's eyes flickered. He asked again, "Since that's the case, the Noble Families will naturally collect Shenwu Coins and set rules that are beneficial to their families …"
The conflict between Mu Haiji and Luo Xiao was also a conflict over the rules of the Governing Slate.
Before Luo Xiao's death, the rules on the Governing Slate could only allow one True God to participate in the Universal War.
In order to be foolproof, Mu Haiji changed the rules on the Governing Slate.
Changing the rules was much cheaper than writing new ones. Changing this rule only required two strokes on the Governing Slate. In other words, changing "one" to "three". With this change in the rules, Mu Haiji believed that conquering the Dayan Universe was a foregone conclusion.
However, Luo Zheng had lured Zhan Beihai and Shi Xiaoqiao out of the Immortal Abode. Whether this was Gu Bei's countermeasure was still unknown, but it had also ruined Mu Haiji's plan.
"That's not right …" Luo Zheng thought for a while. "If I have enough Shenwu Coins, I can write a rule on the Governing Slate that forbids anyone in the divine territory from attacking me. Won't that mean that even the Saints can't do anything to me?"
Old Man Evil's eyes widened again. "Why don't you just write it and kill everyone in the Holy Church? Won't this world be peaceful?"
"That's possible," Luo Zheng said seriously.
"Hehe, unfortunately, do you think those Saints are idiots? What you can think of, they can't think of? So many Divine Epochs have passed. Why hasn't anyone written a rule like that? "Old Man Evil retorted.
Luo Zheng naturally didn't think that those Saints were dumber than him. There must be a reason.
"The amount of Shenwu Coins needed to write a rule on the Governing Slate is an astronomical figure. Even the Grand Families find it difficult to accumulate enough Shenwu Coins to write a rule once. Moreover, the rules written on the Governing Slate are divided into many levels! A rule like the one you mentioned is too heaven-defying. The amount of Shenwu Coins needed is unimaginable. I'm afraid that even if all the Grand Families' Shenwu Coins were added together, it would still be impossible to write it! "Old Man Evil shook his head.
"According to the different rules, the amount of Shenwu Coins needed is also different." Luo Zheng nodded. This explanation was correct. Otherwise, if a Saint was the first to write an invincible rule, he would have no opponents in the Divine Territory to speak of. The current Divine Territory wouldn't be in such a state as Luo Zheng saw.
Old Man Evil's explanation enlightened Luo Zheng. It was no wonder that the Grand Families valued Shenwu Coins so much. Shenwu Coins were indeed irreplaceable in the Divine Territory. At the same time, Luo Zheng had new doubts …
"These Shenwu Coins don't look like ores. Where did they come from?" Luo Zheng asked.
In the Central Domain, those square crystals were excavated from ore veins. True Yuan Stones and Zhen Yuanyu were the same. They were all condensed from Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Could it be that Shenwu Coins were also excavated from ore veins?
