A life of clearness

Chapter 273 Thirty-six!
After Changfeng followed her into the room, Rong Qing waved her sleeves and immediately closed the door, blocking out all outside views.

"Huh..." Chang Feng lifted up his skirt and found a guest seat to sit down. "Yu Rong, you don't know that outside the official room, I am always under the supervision of Xuanfeng Mansion. I can only have a good conversation in my own official room."

"But we can't be careless." Chang Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Although there is no direct supervision in the official room, we still have to be careful... We can't say sensitive words."

"Otherwise," he tapped his ear, "it will still alarm the people above."

"It is under the constant surveillance of Xuanfeng Mansion?" Rong Qing showed a surprised expression, "In this Xuanfeng Mansion, hundreds of millions of cultivators' consciousness are concentrated here at the same time, and they are independent of each other. How can it be monitored?!"

"Xuanfeng Mansion is very mysterious. But no one knows how it monitors specifically." Changfeng emphasized, "But! There is indeed monitoring in public areas."

"That's why I insisted on discussing this with you in detail in this official room. As long as you pay attention, you'll be fine."

Rong Qing asked again, "If I want to ask you about something in the future, won't I have to do it in the official residence? It's not safe..."

What Rong Qing wanted to say more directly was, aren’t you afraid?
Since she left her aura on the doorplate, it was as if she had acknowledged the master of this official room and had complete command over everything inside the room.

This also resulted in having more initiative in one's own official office.

If Changfeng and his client want to bypass the supervision of Xuanfeng Mansion, they may have to go to the official room of one party, which is a huge potential risk for the other party.

"This is a virtual world. You and I have only used a small amount of our consciousness to come here, so it is relatively safer... If it were in the real world, I wouldn't have the guts to run into someone else's official room." Chang Feng explained, "Besides, the Xuanfeng Mansion in the real world is still under surveillance. We can't always go outside the Xuanfeng Mansion to trade."

"Comparatively speaking, it is safer to trade in this virtual world. Besides, I can provide door-to-door service." He smiled, with two shallow dimples on his cheeks. "I can't let my customers be afraid when trading with me."

Rong Qing also laughed.

Indeed, Changfeng's actions are equivalent to transferring a large part of the risk to the customers, which is very likely to make people feel good about it. And as a gossipmonger, what he wants is to have as many customers as possible.

"I know very little about this Xuanfeng Mansion. I would like to hear from Daoist Changfeng about it in detail. I wonder how much Daoist Changfeng would like to offer?"

Chang Feng did not make an offer, but instead asked Rong Qing: "Daoyou Yu Rong, you were born in the Mother Realm and have never been to the Xuanfeng Realm?"

Rong Qing paused, then nodded, "I did come from the Mother Realm, and I got this Hades Mask by chance, but I'm still confused about it now."

It's not that she was completely confused, because Ji Chou'er also recorded a lot of news about Xuanfeng Mansion in the jade slip. However, after all, she had just met Changfeng, and although Rong Qing had a good impression of him, she didn't immediately open her heart and confess all her secrets.

"What? Could it be that the prices for cultivators from the Mother Realm and the Xuanfeng Realm are different?" Rong Qing smiled.

"I definitely didn't mean that." Chang Feng waved his hand, "I just decided where I should start."

He looked at Rong Qing who was sitting in the main seat: "All the cultivators in Xuanfeng Realm know these contents. Even if they don't know them at first, they will gradually know them after staying in Xuanfeng Realm for a while. I am just talking to you, Yu Rong, about this. You don't need to spend any merits." "How can I say this?" Rong Qing said hurriedly: "I don't know how long it will take for me to understand it slowly. Who knows how many opportunities I will miss at this stage! Just based on this point, it is completely worthwhile for me to spend some merits now. Besides... I don't believe others' words."

Chang Feng smiled even more. "If Daoist Yu Rong remembers me when he gets any news, it will be worth it. Merit has more important uses. There is no need to give in on such trivial matters."

"In that case." Seeing Changfeng's insistence, Rong Qing had no choice but to say, "Then I'm all ears."

Changfeng didn't waste any words and started talking to Rongqing directly.

"The Hades has been passed down to this day for about 430 million years. It is considered a new force that has only emerged in this great world. Although it has not been around for a long time, it has developed very quickly. From only one Hades, it has spread to thirty-six spirit realms, a total of thirty-six Hades!"

“Not only that, even each underworld is equipped with a corresponding virtual realm, which is no different from the underworld in reality. Yu Rong, the various things in the Xuanfeng Mansion that you see now are exactly the same as the Xuanfeng Mansion in the Xuanfeng Realm!”

"There are too few spiritual forces that can possess a virtual realm! So everyone is speculating... the Underworld must have the support of the Supreme Realm. Because only the Supreme Realm forces have the strength and technology to create a virtual realm!"

"Even if we are in different places, we can still use our spiritual consciousness to gather in this virtual world and communicate with each other. Even the speed of time is exactly the same as in reality. This method is really mysterious and magical."

Rong Qing nodded in agreement.

Isn't this similar to the concept of holographic games? It's just that the monks have divine consciousness and connect to the mask similar to the game cabin, which is much more convenient and quick.

The benefits of having a virtual realm are visible to the naked eye. The Hades has gathered a large number of monks invisibly, and provided a platform for the members of the Hades to communicate with each other and exchange information.

"The thirty-six virtual realms have brought unparalleled advantages to the underworld. Even if the thirty-six virtual realms cannot be connected, it is well known that crossing boundaries is far and troublesome. As long as the real world and the virtual realm can be closely connected in this world, it will be fine."

"Why aren't the virtual realms connected?" Rong Qing wondered, "Is it because they can't be connected? Or are they unwilling to do so?"

"This... no one knows." Chang Feng thought for a moment, "Maybe when you and I become high-ranking officials in the underworld one day... Lord Yan doesn't expect to become a judge... maybe we can understand something."

"That's right..." When you reach a high level, many secrets are no longer secrets. "Fellow Daoist, please continue."

"Xuanfeng Mansion is considered the earliest underworld mansion. The one in the Donghu Spirit Realm is the first and the main underworld mansion. The second underworld mansion is Xuanfeng Mansion. Therefore, the time when the underworld power was in Xuanfeng Realm can be traced back to 400 million years ago."

"Four hundred million years ago, many noble families controlled the Xuanfeng Realm, and some sects were also extremely prosperous. No one among the noble families was submissive to the other. At that time, the Shen family, the Yan family, the Feng family, and the Liu family were the most powerful noble families in the Xuanfeng Realm. When the Hades first appeared in the Xuanfeng Realm, it was still looked down upon. However, four hundred million years have passed... The Shen family has long lost its glory and barely maintains its position as an upper-class noble family, fearing that it will fall out. After the Shen family was killed by the Hades as a warning to others, the other noble families quickly huddled together and formed a noble family alliance.

As for the organizational structure of the sect, it is even more decadent. Nowadays, except for the Qingzhong lineage, which still has some reputation, the rest are not up to par."
