Seeing the strange scenes before his eyes, the old man who stood in mid-air with his hands behind his back, watched with an expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.
He looked as though he had seen such sights many times over the years.
After a moment, once the Flower God’s apparition had disappeared, he flashed back into the Sky Mother Ship.
As soon as he was back in the cabin of the mother ship, a deputy, already holding several documents, was waiting there.
Upon his return, the deputy hurriedly approached him.
While handing over the documents to the old man with both hands, the deputy respectfully said, "Sir, these are the documents related to the Law Secret Realm of Emerald City."
As the old man uttered a sound of acknowledgment, he reached out his hands to take the documents and started to read them closely.
While the old man read, the deputy explained in a soft voice, "The Law Secret Realm of Emerald City is called ’Flower Morning Festival.’
The rank of the realm is ’Spirit Ascension Tier.’ The cycle is ’10 years.’
The nature of the realm is ’Mysterious.’
Overall, it is of a controllable nature, so stimulating it prematurely should not cause any major disaster."
Listening to the deputy’s words, the old man silently read through all the documents in his hands.
After finishing, he closed the documents and looked up at the deputy to inquire, "Faith Ascension?"
"Does this realm involve the Transcendent path?"
This deputy had clearly retrieved a lot of information just moments before and had a detailed understanding of the Flower Morning Festival. Thus, hearing the old man’s question, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes."
"After three rounds of investigation by the Eastern Administrative Region, it has been almost confirmed that it is related to the path of Faith Ascension. Therefore, the Administrative Region is paying great attention to this realm."
"However, since the realm’s attribute is ’Mysterious,’ there are many odd and incomprehensible aspects, and many clues that cannot be analyzed. Thus, the Administrative Region hasn’t been able to decode it over these many years."
This has made many nobles and powers eager to move."
"Not long ago, the Provincial Government reported that the Jiang Family had laid plans ten years in advance, occupied key positions in various departments of Emerald City, managed the entire city without any leaks, and then made contacts with some gangs holding clues about the Flower Morning Festival through the sale of prohibited strategic resources."
Upon hearing this, the old man softly tapped on the documents in his hand and pondered, "I remember... there was a monster in the fourth generation of the Jiang Family who seemed to be stuck at the peak of Fuser without achieving Spirit Ascension, correct?"
Upon hearing this, the deputy smiled and said, "Yes. Named Jiang Tian. He is Jiang Cheng’s child."
"I recall that the matter was a big issue at the time."
"He was uniquely talented, advancing to the sixth step in Fusion and reaching the peak of Marrow Tempering in his teens. He was the most talented and promising genius of the fourth generation of the Jiang Family."
"At that time, many said that once he achieved Spirit Ascension, he might undergo Yang Transformation within six months."
"Reaching a higher realm than that of his father."
"And the Jiang Family valued this genius immensely, preparing ample resources for his Spirit Ascension early."
"But when the ceremony took place, he suddenly halted it, giving up on the promotion."
"The Family Head of the Jiang Family, Jiang Cheng’s father, was furious and asked him why, but he just coldly claimed that this path to Spirit Ascension was not correct. He said that he would not undergo Spirit Ascension in his life unless he found the correct path."
With this, the deputy paused, then said, "That incident must be almost fourteen years ago."
"If that man hasn’t died young, he should be almost thirty years old by now."
Upon hearing this, the old man hummed thoughtfully and patted the documents in his hand.
The deputy immediately understood his implication and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you suggesting that the Jiang Family organized in Emerald City and focused on the Flower Morning Festival for the path to Faith Ascension?"
"They believe it could promote their family’s genius?"
The old man’s eyes flickered, but he offered no response.
After a moment, he suddenly spoke, "Has Emerald City been completely controlled?"
The deputy hurriedly replied, "Yes."
The old man then asked, "All the official departments and the key members of the major Awakener families, have their numbers been verified? Are there any missing?"

The deputy replied, "The verification is underway. The report should be coming up shortly."
While the two were talking, suddenly, a member of the Defense Team holding documents rushed rapidly towards them.
Upon reaching them, the Defense Team member saluted and said, "Reporting, sir. The verification of the official departments of Emerald City and medium and large-scale Awakener families has been completed."
"Here are the results."

He glanced at it for a moment and then slapped it onto the deputy’s body, "Take a look."
Seeing that the old man only looked at the first page and no further, the deputy was immediately puzzled.
He took the document and, puzzled, flipped to the first page.
The document was clearly arranged by department ranking, so the first page listed only one department—the Governing Hall of Emerald City.
And on the Governing Hall’s committee list, Jiang Cheng’s name was listed, but in red.
This indicated that without any reason, and without reporting to the official department, he had disappeared, and no one knew his whereabouts.
Seeing this, the deputy immediately looked up at the old man.
