Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Emperor Zhou fell into deep thought. He wanted to curse the Zhengui Division for being useless, not even knowing that the Earth Realm monster had broken through the seal, but in the end he held back.

In any case, those five Earth Realm monsters have disappeared. The most urgent task is to find them and then suppress and seal them again.

Perhaps their strength has not yet recovered. If they were to fully recover, the Great Zhou would likely be in danger.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Zhou said, "No wonder I feel that the fortune of the Great Zhou is declining and that there are more and more evil spirits in various places. It seems that it is because of the strange escape of these five beings from the Earth Realm."

Upon hearing Zhou Huang's words, Mu Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle, and then said, "Your Majesty really knows how to comfort yourself."

"The reason why the fortune of the Great Zhou has declined is mainly because His Majesty is trapped. When a dragon is trapped in a cage, the fortune of the dynasty will be greatly affected. If His Majesty can break free and regain power, the fortune of the Great Zhou will naturally be restored."

At this moment, Emperor Zhou asked, "Can your Tianxuan Palace find the location of those five strange Earth Realm experts?"

Mu Yunxi replied, "No, the strange creatures can transform into human form and hide among people. In addition, they possess human intelligence, making them even more difficult to identify."

Emperor Zhou asked, "I have heard that the Bureau of Suppressing Ghosts possesses magical artifacts capable of identifying strange phenomena. Can these artifacts detect strange phenomena in the surrounding environment?"

Mu Yunxi replied, "The tracking magic treasures of the Zhengui Division can only identify evil spirits and low-level monsters. High-level monsters are very good at hiding their aura. If they don't take action, it's very difficult to tell that they are monsters."

Emperor Zhou said with a dark face, "So, if those strange and mysterious places don't want to be exposed, we'll never be able to seal them away again? What if they infiltrate the palace one day without me even knowing?"

Mu Yunxi said, "Until we find a way to see through their true forms, that's certainly true."

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Emperor Zhou's expression became even more solemn. If even the Heavenly Profound Palace could not find those five Earth Realm monsters, what use would it be if the Zhennan Prince's Mansion were willing to take the initiative to fight against them?

As long as those five strange beings at the Earth Realm don't emerge, they will never be able to suppress and seal them, and with their power, they can wreak havoc in the Great Zhou Dynasty without restraint.

If those five Earth Realm monsters were to disrupt the Great Zhou's fortune, causing it to decline to its lowest point, and without the suppression of fortune, those five Earth Realm monsters were to suddenly lead their monster army to attack the Great Zhou, then the Great Zhou's demise would likely only be a matter of time.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Zhou felt something was amiss. If the strange creatures were so good at hiding, how did the founding emperor and the first Zhennan King manage to seal and suppress them?

The founding emperor and the first Prince of Zhennan were able to find these strange beings in the Earth Realm, so why couldn't they?
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhou asked, "The founding emperor and the first Prince of Zhennan were able to suppress and seal them, but now the Great Zhou's fortune is even stronger than when it was founded, and there are more powerful people now, yet we are still unable to deal with them?"

Mu Yunxi said, "The reason why the founding emperor was able to seal those five strange beings at the Earth Realm was mainly because the first Zhennan King knew some strange arts and was able to identify strange beings in the crowd."

"If it weren't for the first Zhennan King, let alone sealing them, the Taizu Emperor would never have been able to find them at all."

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Emperor Zhou fell silent once again.

He was the emperor and knew some royal secrets. The reason why the first Zhennan King had such a high status was mainly because he made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Suppressing the five strange beings in the Earth Realm was also his achievement. However, his achievements were so great that they overshadowed the emperor. Therefore, the first Zhennan King shared some of the credit with the founding emperor, making people believe that the strange crisis was resolved by the founding emperor and the Zhennan King working together.

But in reality, Emperor Taizu didn't contribute much at all.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Zhou looked at Mu Yunxi and asked, "If you can't even deal with these five Earth Realm monsters, then your Tianxuan Palace's plans will likely fall through." Tianxuan Palace desires the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now the Great Zhou is at a critical juncture of life and death. If Tianxuan Palace doesn't take the initiative to seal those five Earth Realm monsters, then when the Great Zhou is destroyed, all of Tianxuan Palace's plans will be in vain.

Mu Yunxi calmly said, "Your Majesty need not worry too much. Although Tianxuan Palace does not have a way to identify strange phenomena in the Earth Realm, there will always be someone who can identify them."

Emperor Zhou asked, "You just said that the first King of Zhennan possessed some extraordinary skills, which enabled him to discern the strangeness of the Earth Realm. I wonder what these extraordinary skills are? Does the Tianxuan Palace possess such techniques?"

Mu Yunxi replied, "The strange arts I'm referring to are not techniques from this world..."

At this point, Mu Yunxi suddenly thought of something and then continued, "As far as I know, the current Princess Consort of the Prince of Zhennan seems to be someone who also possesses supernatural abilities."

"It's a pity that supernatural arts go against the laws of nature. If they are used frequently, they will surely be punished by the heavens. The princess of Zhennan probably died shortly after giving birth to Lu Chen because she used supernatural arts too much."

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Emperor Zhou immediately perked up. "In that case, there might be other people in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion who possess extraordinary abilities. If the Zhennan Prince's Mansion were to fight against those strange entities in the Earth Realm, perhaps they could find a way to locate them?"

Mu Yunxi said, "Not everyone can master supernatural arts, and using supernatural arts comes at a huge price. If there are still people in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion who know supernatural arts, and His Majesty wants to ask them for help, then the royal family will probably have to pay a huge price."

Emperor Zhou understood Mu Yunxi's meaning; it was simply that the Prince of Zhennan's mansion might make exorbitant demands and propose all sorts of conditions.

However, in order to suppress and seal those five potentially enormous threats, preserve the Ji family's empire, and maintain the rule of the Great Zhou, it would be worth paying any price.

……

Although the imperial court intended to conceal it, the news of the strange breakthrough of the seal in the underground realm spread throughout the capital the next day. Coupled with the great commotion caused by the Zhengui Division last night, the people of the capital were in a state of panic, and many small families began to pack their belongings and prepare to flee the capital.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

In the council hall, Prince Zhennan was discussing with his retainers and advisors what the Prince Zhennan's mansion should do next. Now that the news of the strange phenomenon breaking through the seal had spread, even if they did not take the initiative to fight against the strange phenomenon, the royal family would definitely think of the Prince Zhennan's mansion and ask it to fight against the strange phenomenon.

At this moment, a Earth Realm Elder reminded us, "Your Majesty, although those five Earth Realm Anomalies may not have recovered their strength yet, it will probably not be easy for us to find them."

Upon hearing this, the people in the hall began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Yes, the supernatural are very good at disguising themselves. If they turn into human form, we probably wouldn't even know they are supernatural as they pass by us."

“Ordinary strange creatures can be tracked with the Spirit-Tracking Disc, but strange creatures in the Earth Realm can perfectly conceal their aura. If they don’t actively expose their spiritual energy, we won’t be able to find them.”

"Don't be too pessimistic. If they are really that good at hiding, how did the founding emperor and the first Zhennan King seal these five strange beings? If the founding emperor and the first Zhennan King could find them, so can we."
