Chapter 1321 - 30: So You Still Remember You’re the Great Emperor

But this can’t be blamed on the Saint Land for not valuing it.

Because even if the standalone crystal screen technology is mastered, it is of no use to the Saint Land. The crystal screen itself is just a display-like device that must be used in conjunction with other equipment, and the Divine Martial Dynasty is already a hundred thousand years old, with a severe technological gap.

The Saint Land’s main focus is still on overcoming some more important technologies of strategic significance.

Moreover, the Saint Land has preserved quite a few ancient crystal screens dug out from relics, both large and small, which are temporarily enough to use.

However, Wang Shouzhe, who has experienced the baptism of the previous era’s technological explosion, knows very well that this technology is far more important than the Saint Land imagines.

Secondly, the Saint Land’s environment is relatively simple, combined with the influence of the Saint Land’s philosophy itself, which mainly focuses on protecting the Human Race. People in the Saint Land generally have a higher moral baseline, making cooperation with them much more reassuring than with other Noble Families.

Additionally, with Wang Yingxuan, the Direct Disciple of the Master of the Saint Land, overseeing everything, no lineage would dare to foolishly trap the Wang Family.

The only thing to be cautious about when cooperating with the Saint Land is not to do anything too outrageous, not exploit the lower-level Noble Families, not harm Daqian’s interests, and most importantly, not endanger the Human Race by colluding with Outer Domain Demons and the like.

This is entirely not a problem for Wang Shouzhe.

He desires joint development and prosperity, hoping the lower-level Noble Families and common people become wealthy, as this would increase purchasing power and generate more economic circulation. He would have to be out of his mind to exploit them.

Besides Wang Shouzhe, Wang Ningxi is also very busy.

Every morning, he regularly goes to the Trial Hall to clock in, keeping an eye on the trial situations of his grandaunts, great-grandaunts, great-great-grandaunts, and newly recruited students. In the afternoons, he spends the entire time in the Saint Land’s Library.

Wang Shouzhe arranged for him to have the status of a registered disciple of the Saint Land, allowing him to freely enter the Library and borrow books.

Although he still doesn’t have access to the most profound knowledge, he is, after all, only sixteen, even though the Wang Clan Academy’s education has given him a solid foundation.

He can understand some ancient books from the Divine Martial Dynasty period, but he’s not so abnormal as to understand the classics stored in the higher levels of the Library.

The vast collection of books on the first, second, and third layers of the Saint Land’s Library is more than enough for him to study for a long time.

He enjoys it immensely and has thus made friends with two other Saint Land Disciples who also spend their days in the Library, occasionally sharing each other’s reading lists and exchanging new knowledge, living a very fulfilled life.

One day.

Wang Shouzhe rarely thought to pay attention to the trials’ situation and was preparing to visit the Trial Hall, when he received a message transmitted back through special channels from "Luoxian Hall."

"Could it be that the location of Blood Venerable’s lair has been found? Even with An Ye involved, it shouldn’t be this quick, right?" Wang Shouzhe wondered as he opened the message and glanced at it, his expression immediately turning serious.

He never expected it to be news about Ancestor Longyan.

Moreover, it was explosive news about a National War.

In fact, when he initially received the information from Ancestor Longyan about people from the True Demon Hall, he had already been trying to investigate.

Unfortunately, information about the True Demon Hall is not so easy to investigate.

First, the True Demon Hall is the National Religion of the Red Moon Demon Dynasty, holding a status in the Red Moon Demon Dynasty equivalent to the Immortal Palace in the Immortal Dynasty or the Lingyun Sacred Land in Daqian, with numerous strong individuals and a very complex internal system.

In such a great power, countless things happen every day. Not only is it impossible to understand everything, but even if you do, trying to filter out the information you want from tens of thousands of daily pieces of information is no simple task.

Moreover, although Luoxian Hall has developed well over the years, it has only managed to extend its reach to the periphery of the Red Moon Demon Dynasty and far from reaching the True Demon Hall’s interior.

Secondly, the Red Moon Demon Dynasty is so far from Daqian that transportation between the two is inconvenient and message transfer is slow. It takes a long time just for a single round trip.

Not to mention that finding useful clues is not easy, and even if they are found, the message isn’t quickly transmitted back.

Therefore, after consideration, Wang Shouzhe instructed Wang Mei and Luo Yuqing to pay attention to the trends in Western Jin and Southern Qin, in order to deduce the intentions of the True Demon Hall based on their moves.

Unfortunately, the clues are too scarce, and the possibilities too many. Even with Wang Mei and Luo Yuqing’s excellent intelligence skills, finding results isn’t so fast.

Ancestor Longyan’s message came very timely, providing substantial help.

After closing the letter, Wang Shouzhe did not rush to deal with the matter but first replied to Ancestor Longyan. This letter also used the Wang Family’s intelligence cipher, so even if intercepted, it would not breach any secrets.

The so-called Wang Family intelligence cipher isn’t complex, using a system Wang Shouzhe learned starting from kindergarten in his previous life, with Hanyu Pinyin combined with improvements for parts prone to ambiguity.

Although Ancestor Longyan’s message is important, she undoubtedly took a risk.

If her identity were exposed, the consequences would be unthinkable.

In the letter, Wang Shouzhe repeatedly warned Ancestor Longyan not to engage in such dangerous actions anymore. The most important thing now is to obtain the "Yin Sha Demon Scripture;" other matters are secondary—he will handle them.
