Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 159 Starlight Shines, True Dragon Returns to Burial, On the Banks of the Azure Sky River, the Underworld Opens Wide.

"Breaking news from this station: The Datong Stock Exchange in Aolai Kingdom of the East Sea has received approval from the rulers of the seven kingdoms and issued its first batch of stocks yesterday morning. The first batch of listed companies consists of one hundred companies, with fifty from the Qin Kingdom and fifty from the other six kingdoms. On the first day of trading, thirty of the one hundred companies hit their daily limit, fifty saw significant gains, and the remaining twenty maintained strong momentum. According to incomplete statistics, the average wealth increase of the listed companies exceeded 40% within a single day!"

"Xinlingjun Wei Wuji, CEO of Datong Stock Market and Vice President of the Foundation, announced that the original intention of Datong Stock Market is to promote the common good and the ideal of universal harmony. It is willing to support any beautiful dream of anyone. Furthermore, it announced that while maintaining the main stock market in Jianye City, it will open new stock market registration and trading venues in the capitals of the seven kingdoms, helping more aspiring companies join this movement of supporting dreams. 💝✌ ❻➈𝓼ђǗⓍ.𝓒𝕆м 🐜💎"

"Tian Fen, a well-known expert from the agricultural sector, stated publicly that the Datong stock market is a conspiracy. The rapid expansion of wealth will accelerate class antagonism and widen the gap between rich and poor. It's a game of the big fish eating the small fish, not the welfare dream activity Wei Wuji described! The stock market itself does not generate new production value; it's merely a financial game. At this stage, the Datong stock market should be stopped immediately to protect small and medium-sized enterprises and prevent the elite class, led by the ambitious Qin Feng, from plundering the masses!"

"Renowned expert Gongsun Baima disagreed with Tian Fen's opinion. Gongsun Baima believed that the emergence of the Datong Stock Market would help improve productivity, especially by eliminating outdated industries, optimizing the industrial structure, and improving work efficiency. The benefits outweighed the drawbacks. Mr. Tian was too narrow-minded and had too limited vision. He was forever confined to his own little world. I hope Mr. Tian can go out and see more of the world."

"..."

The Datong stock market is like a depth charge, blasting out countless hidden entities.

This is a massive project that spans seven countries!

It's a wealth-creating frenzy that can double your fortune overnight!

Many people are also worried that this might have negative consequences.

But when faced with true wealth, human fanaticism can kill all reason.

With the addition of a foundation and seven kingdoms willing to promote it, those calm and wise men quickly became marginalized in this society. They watched helplessly as the strategists began to wreak havoc on the world. Even if they wanted to complain to Confucius, this wave of Datong stock market was hosted by Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, and Chairman Qin Feng had no involvement at all.

In the palace of the Barbarian King in Jiuli Royal City.

Chi Man, the King of Jiuli, looked at the news report with a hint of envy. "Overnight, their wealth can double. The foundation really has some clever tricks up its sleeve!"

On one side, the saintess Chi Miao, dressed in a long white gown, spoke calmly, "Similarly, if you don't have faith in your company, it will vanish overnight! Brother, don't just see the thief eating meat, but also the thief getting beaten!"

Chi Man pointed to the stocks of those companies that had skyrocketed, "Look, these have all hit their daily limit! How could they fall?"

"That's because the foundation needs to create momentum," Chi Miao said. "The companies on the foundation are high-tech companies selected from the Fortune 500. They are very powerful. It's normal for them to surge. If some tainted companies were to enter, there would be losses. Who knows, a company might issue shares for ten dollars, but end up losing only one dollar. Your wealth would shrink by nine-tenths."

Chi Man rubbed his hands together and said, "No, this game is too fun, I want to play it."

Chi Miao looked at his elder brother and sighed, "You're a terrible person with a huge addiction, that's exactly what you are, brother! Can you calm down? The Jiuli ancestral property is all we have left, if we squander it all, it'll be gone forever."

Chi Man said, "How dare you talk about your elder brother like that! Let me tell you, we're a family with mines, we have plenty of mines, what we lack is capital, mining capital. As long as we can go public, our stock will skyrocket! Then we won't be short of money! I've even thought of a name, it'll be called Jiuli Mine! What do you think?"

Laughter came from outside the door. "That's a nice name!"

Chi Miao's beautiful eyes shone as she looked towards the door.

Chi Man said from the side, "Watch your manners, be reserved. You're not married yet, is it necessary to be in such a hurry? You can go down first, I want to talk to Qin Feng about serious matters concerning the stock market."

Chi Miao snorted and turned to leave.

Qin Feng entered the Barbarian King's Palace and bowed to the Chi Barbarian who sat above him.

Chi Man smiled warmly, "Brother Qin! It's been seven days since we last met. What have you been up to?"

For the Chi Man, it was seven days.

For Qin Feng, it was 700 days, or two years!

If we're talking about being separated day and night, that's four years!

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "Nothing much, just need a good night's sleep. By the way, I heard you mention wanting to get some stocks?"

Chi Man laughed heartily, "Isn't it that we own a mine, but we don't have the equipment to mine it? If we could set up a stock market and raise some funds, we could develop the mine and then expand Jiuli City. What do you say?"

Qin Feng said, "That's a feasible solution! Brother Chi Man can find an accountant to prepare a set of materials according to the foundation's procedures. Later, I'll give the foundation a heads-up, and there shouldn't be any problems."

"With your words of comfort, I'm relieved!" Chi Man raised his wine cup to Qin Feng. "Come on, brother, I have to thank you!"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "We're all family, why are you speaking like that?"

"Yes, yes!" Chi Man added, "If we make money, you should get a share too!"

Qin Feng declined, saying, "Forget about it. I'm the president of the foundation. If I accept money, it would be against the rules! I can't accept this money."

Chi Man asked, "Are you really not going to?"

Qin Feng said, "How about when I marry a Chi Miao woman, my brother-in-law can give me a bigger dowry?"

"I'll take care of this!" Chi Man patted his chest. "A mere dowry is nothing to worry about! But speaking of which, brother, you might be in big trouble."

Qin Feng asked, "How so?"

Chi Man tossed a scroll over, "Take a look for yourself!"

Qin Feng took the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it.

"The Ao family of the East Sea and the Yang and Li families have reached a cooperation agreement. Ao Jia, the Dragon King of the East Sea, announced that the East Sea was bestowed upon the Ao family by King Yu and is absolutely not something that Qin Feng can plunder. The Ao family will intensify its offensive against the East Sea until Qin Feng and his human forces are driven out and the Ao family is returned to the East Sea."

"The Li and Yang families have issued a proclamation to the seven states denouncing the foundation's collusion with the Jiuli tribe, demanding that the seven states sever all aid to the foundation. This is because the Jiuli tribe and the Xuanyuan tribe are sworn enemies. Currently, the Yan state has already cut off contact with the foundation. The Qi, Chu, Han, Zhao, and Wei states believe that the presence of the foundation's envoy within the Jiuli tribe's territory is the personal action of Chairman Qin Feng and does not represent the foundation's stance. However, to be on the safe side, these five states have indicated they will observe the situation and temporarily maintain contact with the foundation. Only the Qin state opposes the Yang and Li families' statements. Qin's Prime Minister Li Si points out that the Yang and Li families are now enemies of the seven states; if they truly value their common ancestors, why not surrender immediately?"

"A disturbance occurred in an unknown brothel. A pimp who called himself the Turtle Prime Minister of the East Sea was rescued. Before leaving, the pimp left a name card. Stunning talents gathered, outstanding individuals came together, the mountain peak opened wide, and Qin Feng died."

Of the three pieces of information, the other two were within Qin Feng's expectations, except for the third one.

These guys from Donghai definitely won't stay in Zhuolu, and the Li and Yang families won't tolerate them staying either. Their plan to counterattack Donghai is just to reassure the Li and Yang families. In reality, the Four Seas Alliance has the strength to counterattack Donghai.

Firstly, as the Four Evils Alliance leaves the world, their fortunes are waning, their power is declining, and they will become weaker and weaker, with no chance of a counterattack.

As for the Li and Yang families accusing themselves of colluding with the Jiuli, that is normal, but if you look at it strictly, it is not tenable, after all, the Dongyi tribe also has a Shaohao, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

By acknowledging the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, you are acknowledging that the Dongyi people were part of the Xuanyuan people, just as the Yan and Huang peoples formed the Yanhuang tribe.

However, there is one thing to note: this excuse can be used to quickly identify which of the seven states have distanced themselves from you. For example, the Yan state, which took the initiative to sever ties this time, is very problematic. The other five states are also not very decent. It is Zheng Ge who is reliable and even made Li Si come out and scold the Li and Yang families.

At this stage, none of the three pieces of information pose a real threat to us. Rather, they suggest that the internal conflicts in Zhuolu have reached an irreconcilable point, and if we don't find an outlet to release them, things might just explode.

The Li and Yang families of Zhuolu were eager to provoke him into starting a war so that they could divert attention from their internal conflicts.

However, Qin Feng had no desire to fight. The external environment didn't allow it, and he was busy developing the Qiaoshan Secret Realm. Who would want to fight?

Let your internal conflicts fester on their own. Maybe one day a few of you will be blown up, and I'll come and collect the bodies. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Qin Feng put down the intelligence report. "Interesting, but not much. By the way, how's the deduction of the Qiaoshan Map coming along?"

"The Mountain View Map!" Chi Man exclaimed. "A Miao! You tell me about it!"

Chi Miao walked over, wearing a silver headdress. As she walked, the silver ornaments swayed. "The Qiaoshan Map has been deciphered. Daotian and I even explored some scenes inside the Qiaoshan Map and discovered some things."

Qin Feng asked, "What's going on?"

Chi Miao said, "After the Qiaoshan Map is opened, the Qiaoshan Secret Realm will appear. However, to enter the secret realm, one must abandon the physical body and enter with the soul. Everyone's physical body will remain outside until the soul returns from the Qiaoshan Secret Realm. If the soul encounters misfortune in the secret realm, then the physical body will also perish."

Qin Feng frowned and said, "No way to transfer the body? Only the soul? This is a huge problem!"

Chi Man added, "The soul is different from the physical body. The soul's initial strength is basically what it is for its entire life. It's rare for the soul to experience a significant increase in strength, unless there are specific cultivation techniques that cultivate the soul and primordial spirit. However, those techniques have very limited cultivation; they can only say that the soul is stronger, but it's far inferior to the strength of the soul and body being unified!"

Chi Miao said, "Brother is talking about humans and demons, but have you considered the celestial beings?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Man slapped his thigh. "How could I forget about the Celestials! That's right! Celestials seem to have specifically abandoned their physical bodies to cultivate their souls! The souls of Celestials are extremely powerful, even capable of unleashing a strength that is one with our physical bodies and souls! If we follow this logic, then entering the Stone Bridge means that the Qiaoshan Secret Realm is essentially the Celestials' backyard. Once inside, we'll be the fish on the chopping block, and the Celestials will be the butcher. Qin Feng, this is a trap! We can't go!"

Chi Man's words make sense.

This is a trap, and a huge trap at that.

Qin Feng also understood why all seventeen stunning champions became lackeys of the Celestials after entering the sect.

This is their home turf!

But if we don't go in, all this immense merit will be wasted!

The Celestials are playing a game of open and overt strategy!

I'm asking you, Qin Feng, do you dare to follow me?

Just as Qin Feng hesitated, the ancient Ginseng Fruit Tree in the Arad world unusually spoke up, "Why are you worried about this!"

"You have a small world, and you can hide your physical body and soul in it."

"Then just avoid that force of the rule, right?"

Qin Feng hesitated and asked, "Will this be enough to fool everyone?"

"Why not?" the ginseng fruit tree said. "Back in the days of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there were countless powerful individuals who ventured into the Nine Netherworlds with their physical bodies. The rule against physical bodies entering the Nine Netherworlds was later established by the Goddess Houtu. Your cosmic origin will is at a higher level than the will of the Goddess Houtu. You are a primary will at the same level as the Great Dao, so naturally you can disregard the rules of the Goddess Houtu and sneak in!"

"And think about it, others only have souls, their combat power is limited, but you have a physical body and a soul, hehe, you'll be able to wreak havoc everywhere you go!"

"For you, your strength hasn't decreased at all; in fact, compared to everyone else's decline, it's a significant increase!"

Qin Feng kept saying to the ginseng fruit tree ancestor, "The ancestor knows so much! Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!"

The ginseng fruit tree said, "Stop with the nice words. If you really want to repay the ancestor, after you enter the Nine Netherworld, find the source of the Yellow Springs and get some Yellow Springs water for the ancestor to quench his thirst."

Qin Feng said, "No problem, leave it to me."

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door. "Brother Qin, are you there?"

Qin Feng called out, "Is that Brother Daotian? I'm here!"

Dao Tianxing strode over, "Brother Qin, it's great to see you again! The Qiaoshan Map has been deciphered! Now we've encountered some problems."

Qin Feng looked at Dao Tian, ​​who reeked of alcohol, and said, "I heard from the Chi Miao that we can't bring our physical bodies in, right?"

Dao Tian said awkwardly, "Yes, that's the situation. Young Master Qin, are you sure you still want to go? This place is really dangerous."

Qin Feng said, "We definitely have to go. There's no better time than a lucky one. Did you bring the Qiaoshan Map?"

"You've brought it, but are you leaving now without making any preparations?"

"Let's go!" Qin Feng said. "There's nothing to hesitate about! It's just a trip to a secret realm. It's not like I haven't been to secret realms before. Wasn't the Demon Realm's secret realm the same back then?"

"Although the Demon Realm is also a secret realm, it has been developed for a long time, so this is considered a pioneering level."

Chi Miao retorted, "Just open the secret realm as I told you to. Why are you arguing so much? You didn't lose the Qiaoshan Map, did you?"

"Stealing the Heavenly Dao? How could that be?"

As he spoke, Daotian took out a tattered ancient scroll from his bosom. The scroll was a golden-wax color, mottled and shimmering. At first glance, it seemed to be shrouded in an aura of death, just like a legendary book of the underworld.

As the Qiaoshan Map slowly unfolded, strange symbols and characters appeared on it.

Dao Tian glanced at Qin Feng, "Then, I'll open the Qiaoshan Secret Realm!"

Qin Feng said, "Open it!"

Dao Tian spread his hands, and the Qiaoshan Map appeared directly above everyone's heads. Then, Dao Tian's voice rang out, "Starlight shines, the true dragon returns to its burial place, on the banks of the Azure River, the underworld opens wide!"

The sound was followed by a streak of blood on the tip of the tongue.

The bloodstains stained the scroll, and the originally black and gray mountains and rivers on the scroll suddenly began to revive, regaining their vitality. The mighty rivers flowed endlessly, and the entire mountain landscape became vivid and lifelike.

Daotian, standing on the Seven Stars, with a tortoise shell appearing in his left hand, called out loudly to the pattern above his head, "Holy Maiden! Ascend the Starlight!"

Chi Miao crossed his hands, and a blue-white starlight beam appeared in the center of his palms, illuminating the veins on the tortoise shell. As the tortoise shell was fully illuminated, it opened up, and beams of Bagua divination light penetrated into the painting!

The beams of light from the tortoise shell divination converge to form the four cardinal directions: Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun!

The Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth merged into the scroll, and the entire scroll suddenly expanded and grew, penetrating through the thick Barbarian King's Palace and spreading directly towards the sky.

Qin Feng looked up and saw that the roof of the Barbarian King's Palace above his head had melted away, and a faint blue and white water line appeared in the sky above his head.

The waterline drew ever closer, vaguely resembling a tide rushing in from beyond the heavens, giving one an indescribable sense of grandeur.

Chi Miao said, "The Azure Heaven flows down to the Netherworld, becoming the Yellow Springs of the Nine Netherworlds, which is beautifully named Azure Heaven Yellow Springs! Once Azure Heaven emerges, the entrance to Qiaoshan is not far away."

The moment the Netherworld appeared, the Nine Li Royal City trembled slightly, and the exclamations of guards could be heard from outside the gate.

Even faster, from the deep blue sky, streaks of black energy spread out, thick black malevolent energy connected with the sea of ​​clouds, converging into intense cloud roars, churning and boiling, crashing towards us.

Chi Man's expression changed drastically. "Damn it! The seal on the ancient battlefield of Zhuolu has been activated again!"

Qin Feng was taken aback. "What is it?"

Chi Man said, "The Primordial Bronze Gate! The sealed gate of the ancient battlefield of Zhuolu has been quiet until now. This time, the opening of the Qiaoshan Map has caused the Primordial Bronze Gate to move! I'm afraid something big is about to happen!"

"No, I must get to the Ancient Bronze Gate immediately!"

"Iron Head!!"

With a long roar, the black and white behemoth fell from the sky.

Panda King Tie Tou stood tall and imposing, dressed in full armor, seemingly riding the wind.

Chi Man leaped up and straddled Tie Tou's back, grabbing Tie Tou's neck while pointing at Qin Feng, saying, "You brat! You smashed my Barbarian King's Palace, so you'd better build me another one! A brand new one, like your high-tech office!"

Before the words were even finished, Chi Man, riding his iron-headed horse, had vanished without a trace.

Looking up at the vast blue sky above him, Qin Feng recalled the Milky Way described in Journey to the West.

Legend has it that when the Heavenly Court was first established, demons caused trouble on the Milky Way. It was Marshal Tianpeng who led 300,000 Milky Way naval troops to defeat the extraterrestrial demons, thus relieving the Heavenly Court of its worries.

I wonder if this Biluo River is the same as the Heavenly River in Journey to the West.

"This 'Nine Heavens Azure Sky' doesn't just appear above our heads," Daotian said. "It will also appear in the outer universe, the inner universe, and even in every one of the Eighteen Heavenly Caves."

Qin Feng said, "So, it's not just us who went in; there are many other forces involved as well."

Chi Miao said, "That's right! And there are many guys who are waiting for this opportunity. Many of them can't survive in the outer universe or the inner universe, so they want to get into this place."

Qin Feng said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Daotian raised his right hand and struck himself on the top of his head. "Go!"

He struck himself on the top of the head, and the tomb raider Daotian's body went limp and lay motionless on the ground.

Chi Miao also wanted to separate his soul from his body, but Qin Feng stopped him.

Chi Miao was taken aback. "What are you doing?"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "You don't need to go. You can stay here and keep watch. I'll go."

Chi Miao wanted to speak, but Qin Feng's figure suddenly blurred, his entire body was covered in mosaics, and he disappeared in the next moment.

Chi Miao stared at Qin Feng, who had vanished without a trace, and murmured, "Where is he? Wasn't it said that only the soul could enter? Unless, of course, he achieved physical sainthood, mastering the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique! The same Eight-Nine Arcane Technique as Yang Jian!"

However, things were not as Chi Miao had imagined.

In fact, Qin Feng directly hid his physical body and soul in the Arad universe, and then, by taking advantage of Dao Tian's soul, he secretly followed Dao Tian and smuggled himself into the Qiaoshan Secret Realm.

In this way, in a sense, Daotian would become Qin Feng's alter ego, serving as Qin Feng's eyes and ears.

If Daotian is no match for him, Qin Feng can step in to help.
