The main reason why Zhao Hai believed that the Tiger Seal wouldn't be very useful in the hands of other Cultivators was because other Cultivators simply didn't have the Space. And without the Space, it would be impossible for a group of people to follow you around forever. If a Sect Master had the Golden Seal, then the Tiger Seal would only be useful when he was in the sect. If he left the sect, then the Tiger Seal wouldn't be able to help him extract the strength of other people in the sect.
However, if it could only be used in the sect, then it meant that he would have to wait for other people to attack his sect before he could use the Tiger Seal to counterattack. In that case, he would only be able to defend himself and wouldn't have much offensive power at all. Speaking of which, if someone really attacked his sect, it would be impossible for him to make a comeback with just the Tiger Seal.
The reason why the Tiger Seal had this kind of power was mainly because of the people's hearts. If a King was recognized by the people, then he would be able to extract strength from them. If the people didn't recognize him, then he wouldn't be able to extract strength from them.
It wasn't easy to get the people of a country to acknowledge you, but it wasn't difficult either. This was because ordinary people had very low requirements. As long as they could eat their fill, wear warm clothes, have a house to live in, have land to farm, and have a little money to spend, they would be very satisfied. They would recognize the king.
However, Cultivators and ordinary people weren't the same. Cultivators needed strength. Making a Cultivator sincerely recognize someone was much more difficult than making an ordinary person recognize someone.
Moreover, Cultivators were selfish. If they knew that someone could extract their strength to fight, then they wouldn't be willing. Because of this, if the Tiger Seal were to fall into the hands of a Cultivator, then it would be useless.
The amount of strength that the Tiger Seal could extract from a person was also calculated based on the person's recognition of the Tiger Seal. If a person only recognized you as their King, then the amount of strength that the Tiger Seal could extract from them would be very small. For example, if a person approved of you and approved of you, then the amount of strength that you could extract from them would be very large. If a person was willing to die for you at any time and was loyal to you, then not only would you be able to extract all of their strength, the Tiger Seal would also return this strength, benefiting both of them at the same time. Moreover, the person whose strength was extracted would also know that when the Tiger Seal was commanding them, they would also be able to clearly feel the command of the Tiger Seal. If the other party only recognized you as their King, but didn't approve of you, and didn't want to be loyal to you, then the Tiger Seal wouldn't be able to directly give them orders through the Tiger Seal.
And Zhao Hai, the Tiger Seal holder, belonged to the kind of people who were loyal to him and would die for him at any time. Therefore, after he obtained the Tiger Seal, he would benefit the most. And if the Tiger Seal was in the hands of others, then perhaps they wouldn't be able to use even 1% of its strength.
Zhao Hai received the Tiger Seal, and also received the stone hammer and the others. He already understood the function of the Tiger Seal, so the attraction of the Imperial Mausoleum to him also disappeared. However, Zhao Hai still stayed here for a few days. He wanted to see if he could find Mister's treasures. If he could, then it would be even better.
However, Zhao Hai was soon disappointed. He didn't find any treasures. Aside from the ruins, there was nothing else. This was also very normal. After all, this place had been abandoned for thousands of years. Besides things like the Tiger Seal, there was almost nothing else that could be preserved.
Since the Imperial Mausoleum's mission had been completed, Zhao Hai naturally had to leave. After he left the Imperial Mausoleum, he went deep into the mountains, still mainly collecting plants.
What Zhao Hai didn't know was that while he was collecting plants and animals in the mountains, the Alien Continent was in chaos. The Ant Kingdom, which was close to the Dragon Nation, suddenly launched an attack on the Dragon Nation. And the reason that the Ant Kingdom used was that the Dragon Nation was good at contacting other continents and betraying the Alien Continent.
It could be said that this excuse was completely aimed at Zhao Hai. And this excuse naturally made the other countries dissatisfied. However, the Ant Kingdom didn't care so much and still launched an attack on the Dragon Nation.
What happened next was somewhat unexpected. After the Ant Kingdom sent envoys to the other countries, the other countries didn't intervene in the war between the two countries for a short period of time. They seemed to have acquiesced to the Ant Kingdom's approach. It could also be said that they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
The development of the matter was beyond the Dragon Nation's expectations. The Emperor of the Dragon Nation knew that the Ant Kingdom had wanted to deal with him for a long time, but he didn't expect that the Ant Kingdom would find such a lousy excuse. Moreover, they used Zhao Hai to talk about it. And now, Zhao Hai had disappeared. If Zhao Hai wasn't a plant master, the Emperor would really think that this was a conspiracy of the Ant Kingdom.
Although Zhao Hai had disappeared, the Dragon Nation had no choice but to fight. Speaking of which, the Dragon Nation had developed well over the years. Unfortunately, the Dragon Nation wasn't a powerful country among the twelve countries. They had been destroyed by a big country before. Later, although that big country was destroyed, they restored the name of the Dragon Nation. However, the Dragon Nation was relatively weak at that time. Therefore, when they were fighting for territory, they couldn't take back all the land that originally belonged to the Dragon Nation. Therefore, the Dragon Nation's national strength was the weakest among the twelve countries.
Even so, the Ant Kingdom couldn't deal with the Dragon Nation. However, the Emperor didn't expect that the Ant Kingdom had obtained an ancient cultivation method from an unknown city. This cultivation method was a kind of body cultivation method. The level of this body cultivation method wasn't very high. Even if it was cultivated to the highest level, it could only reach the Consolidated Equipment level.
However, this cultivation method had a characteristic. It was very easy to learn. This also made it very easy to learn and very suitable for large scale learning. The Ant Kingdom directly taught this cultivation method to the army so that the people in their army could learn this cultivation method in large numbers. This improved the combat strength of their army by several levels.
The improvement of the combat strength of the army wasn't as simple as the increase of the army's strength. At the same time, it also meant that the strength of many generals would also be greatly improved. This was because the weapons didn't care about the strength of your subordinates. They extracted the energy according to the ratio. For example, a soldier only had 200 jin of strength before he cultivated the Ant Race's body cultivation method. After cultivating the body cultivation method, he had 400 jin of strength. After a general held the seal, he could extract one-tenth of the soldiers' strength and add it to himself. No matter how much strength the soldier had, he could extract one-tenth of the soldiers' strength and add it to himself. A soldier with 200 jin of strength would only have 20 jin of strength if one-tenth of the soldiers' strength was extracted. On the other hand, a soldier with 400 jin of strength would have 40 jin of strength if one-tenth of the soldiers' strength was extracted. The difference between 20 jin of strength and 40 jin of strength was doubled. This also meant that the general's strength would almost double. This was a very shocking number.
Of course, it was impossible for those generals to extract one-tenth of the soldiers' strength. To be able to extract one-tenth of the soldiers' strength and add it to himself, the general's prestige must be very high. At the same time, the weapon he held must be an Innate Heavy Weapon, not a Weapon Maker. If it was a Weapon Maker, he wouldn't be able to extract so much strength.
But even so, the soldiers and generals of the Ant Kingdom were much stronger than the soldiers and generals of the Dragon Nation. Moreover, the Ant Kingdom had been having a lot of disputes with the Dragon Nation over the past few years. This time, they used Zhao Hai as an excuse to attack the Dragon Nation. Obviously, they didn't have any good intentions, they wanted to destroy the Dragon Nation in one fell swoop.
As for Zhao Hai, he wasn't in the Ant Kingdom's consideration at all. In the Ant Kingdom's view, Zhao Hai was just a Void Realm expert. The Ant Kingdom didn't want to borrow any Void Realm experts. They could just send a few of them to deal with Zhao Hai. As for Zhao Hai's identity as a messenger of the Soldier Spirit Continent, the Ant Kingdom didn't care about it. The Soldier Spirit Continent was too far away from the Expert Continent. Moreover, going to another continent was already very dangerous. Even if Zhao Hai died here, the people of the Soldier Spirit Continent wouldn't know about it.
Zhao Hai didn't know about this at all. He had been staying in the Secret Forest all this time. His contact with the outside world was basically cut off. Naturally, he didn't know what was going on outside.
However, Zhao Hai still hadn't left the Dragon Country. The people of the Dragon Country had been very polite to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai wasn't a rude person who would leave without saying goodbye. Even if he wanted to leave the Dragon Country, he would at least inform the people of the Dragon Country first. Then he would inform the Emperor that he was leaving. Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable for him to do so.
Zhao Hai stayed in the Secret Forest for another two months before he came out. He planned to leave. His current location wasn't far from Coiling Dragon City. It can be said that he used these months to walk around the Dragon Nation. Naturally, he was always in the forest or the mountains. He didn't have any contact with the outside world. Naturally, he didn't know about the war between the Ant Kingdom and the Dragon Nation.
After Zhao Hai came out of the forest, he slowly walked towards Coiling Dragon City. This time, he walked on the main road. But what made Zhao Hai feel strange was that he didn't meet many people along the way. This made Zhao Hai surprised.
One must know that Coiling Dragon City was the capital of the Dragon Nation. It was also the political, economic, and cultural center. Every day, a lot of people would go to Coiling Dragon City to do business. There were all kinds of caravans, carriages, and people coming and going. When he came out of Coiling Dragon City, the main road was very busy. How come there were so few people now? Moreover, after walking for half a day, he didn't meet any carriages. This was very strange.
After walking for more than an hour, Coiling Dragon City was already in sight. However, he still didn't meet anyone. This made Zhao Hai even more puzzled. But before long, he understood why he didn't meet anyone. It was because Coiling Dragon City was full of people. These people should be soldiers. However, the number of soldiers was at least twice as many as when he first saw Coiling Dragon City. Moreover, although he was still some distance away from Coiling Dragon City, he could still see that the city gates were closed.
"Something happened!" Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately thought that something must have happened to the Dragon Nation. Otherwise, Coiling Dragon City wouldn't be like this.
