[Threat]
As the ruler of a country, the Tomb Lord was naturally aware of many threats lurking in the Corpse Nation.
However, as Han Dong said, none of the threats that could affect the overall plan seemed to fit the criteria.
"What kind of threat?"
"A threat not from this world … Your Majesty doesn't need to send anyone to investigate this matter to avoid alerting the enemy.
I've already thrown out a series of baits in advance, and the enemy will surface when the time is right. The key is to not expose our relationship. "
"How confident are you in this matter?"
"Eighty percent. The remaining twenty percent is reserved because I'm not sure about the strength of the threat itself … However, as long as Your Majesty gives me the domain to suppress it, I should be able to take it down myself."
"You plan to solve this matter in the Taiji Palace?"
"That's right. The threat has been lurking in the Corpse Nation for a long time, and it must be uprooted once and for all.
Without Your Majesty's help, the enemy might escape in my current state as a corpse. "
As he spoke, Han Dong handed over the letter that he had written long ago.
The Tomb Lord examined the relevant information on the letter while gently tapping a silver needle connected to his chest with his finger.
Ding …
Layers of vibrations traveled along the tube to the bottom of the dragon throne.
Soon, a file rose from the secret passage hidden in the dragon throne for the Tomb Lord to read.
The relevant information recorded in the file was almost the same as the information given by Han Dong, confirming the so-called [Threat].
"I'll leave this matter to you. If you can do it, it'll be another contribution to the Corpse Nation."
"Okay."
With the experience on Mount Moon Goddess, Han Dong's basic communication with the Tomb Lord was over, and the establishment of a relationship was quite successful.
Just as Han Dong took the "Secret Official Document" and was about to leave.
The Tomb Lord suddenly asked about something he had observed.
"Your real body didn't come with your head?"
Han Dong was shocked. He didn't expect the Tomb Lord to see through this.
"That's right. Due to your influence, the current Tomb Lord's connection with the Black Tower has been reduced to 13%.
When I transmigrated between planes, I barely brought my head over, and my body was isolated outside … Otherwise, my efficiency would have been higher.
However, I've also gained a lot from regenerating the corpses. "
"As expected, the Death Qi I released was unable to penetrate your head, yet it was able to easily penetrate your body … It's as if the two of them are connected, yet they aren't one.
It seems like you've reached your current state step by step through the ordinary corpses of your own country.
Also, you seem to be following the model of your country to improve your physical body. Which Corpse Collection did you choose? "
"Floating Corpse Internal Sutra, written by Grand Scholar Du Zhijing."
This answer actually made the Tomb Lord a little excited. For a moment, he could not hold back and stretched out his arm with difficulty to touch Han Dong's body.
"I didn't expect you to be able to choose and cultivate this' strange 'collection of corpses.
In that case, I don't need to provide you with other valuable corpse collections … Speaking of which, I once conducted an evaluation of the 《Corpse Collection》 in the Corpse Kingdom.
In the final evaluation, the World Annihilation Corpse Manual that I created was the strongest.
Below it, there were three corpse collections that were slightly weaker.
The first one was the 《Gang Sutra》 written by the General Zhenguo, the first general under my command. This book was used by me as the 'specially-cultivated corpse collection' of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and I personally approved it. The Embroidered Uniform Guards of the Imperial Army of the Inner Palace are qualified to cultivate the 《Gang Sutra》.
The uniqueness of this book is that it is compatible with any corpse collection that the user has previously cultivated.
The second one was the 《Tian Yan Secret Sutra》 written by the founder of the Ministry of Secrets.
Assistant Minister Yan, who led you here just now, cultivated this corpse collection, and his strength is quite good … If you're interested, as a secret officer, you can apply to get a copy of this book for free.
The third one was the 《Floating Corpse Internal Sutra》 that no one has been able to cultivate for hundreds of years. The evaluation of this corpse collection can only be based on Grand Scholar Du's previous performance, and it's very likely that the potential of this book has been underestimated.
I've also flipped through this book several times, but the basic chapters at the beginning are unconstrained and difficult to understand.
The subsequent cultivation mode is also scattered. If you're not careful, you'll disturb the corpse energy in your body, and it's very easy to go mad.
I once suspected that Grand Scholar Du was unwilling to pass down his lifelong knowledge, but I didn't expect you to be able to cultivate it … If my body didn't have these restrictions, I'd really like to have a try with you. "
Han Dong responded with a smile, "When the plan of the Corpse Kingdom is completely successful and Your Majesty is free from the restrictions of your body, it won't be too late for us to have a competition."
Hearing this, the Tomb King completely let go and laughed from the bottom of his heart,
"Haha! Then it's settled … At that time, I'll suppress myself to the same level as you and have a good physical collision with you.
After all, I also want to see if the 《World Annihilation Corpse Code》 is the best in the Corpse Kingdom! "
Such an answer also made Han Dong a little confused, "Your Majesty, haven't you had a competition with Grand Scholar Du before?"
"That's a pity.
Grand Scholar Du once helped me through the two most difficult periods of the Corpse Kingdom's establishment — the 《Demon Region Turmoil》 and the 《Xuanmen Coup》. He was already injured in the demon region, and during the Xuanmen Coup, he was besieged by more than ten experts.
Although he suppressed the traitors in the end, he suffered irreparable injuries and passed away a few days later. "
"Is Grand Scholar Du's corpse still here?"
"The corpses of zombies who have made important contributions to the Corpse Kingdom will be kept in the Earth Emanations Hall forever."
The Tomb King had already seen through Han Dong's thoughts, and he handed over a black jade pendant that contained death energy.
"With this jade pendant, you can go to any area, including the Chain District and the Earth Emanations Hall. If there's anything else you need, ask Assistant Minister Yan to find a normal excuse to bring you to the Taiji Palace to see me. "
"Alright."
"I'll have to trouble you with this."
…
The discussion in the Taiji Palace lasted for more than an hour.
Assistant Minister Yan and the two Embroidered Uniform Guards who were waiting outside the door were already in a terrible fix. They were constantly worried about the emperor's safety.
After all, no one had been able to stay in the Taiji Palace for such a long time, let alone a small secret official examination.
Just as everyone was about to lose their patience and wanted to enter the palace privately, a series of footsteps came from the inner palace, accompanied by Han Dong's figure.
"You …"
Before Assistant Minister Yan could ask anything.
Han Dong took out the "secret official document" that was stamped by the Tomb King at his waist.
"I've passed the secret official examination. His Majesty asked me to cooperate with Assistant Minister Yan to study the contents of the manuscript and try to perfect the 《Corpse Gu》 further. This is the most crucial period, and we can't make any mistakes."
"Hmm … Alright, let's go to the secret department first."
Assistant Minister Yan had ten thousand questions in his heart, but he didn't know how to ask them.
