Ping’an County.
Wangqiu Mountain.
About five people are gathered here.
All five of them are wearing masks and looking at the sky, unable to see their expressions.
Their masks, painted with Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and Qilin, represent the five divine beasts, the five heavenly kings of the White Cloth Sect.
“In a little while, the day of the full moon will arrive, and then we will be able to use the power of Yin and Yang to open the treasury of the Martial Emperor and obtain the treasures of the Martial Emperor.”
Someone spoke out, their tone appearing unusually excited.
They were the Five Heavenly Kings of the White Cloth Sect, with extremely high status, and were already considered the core of the core.
“En, the Sect Master has said that if this matter is done well, we will all receive a reward.”
“It’s really hard to wait for the full moon, but it’s good that it didn’t take too long.”
They discussed, being the five Heavenly Kings, all of them were certainly fourth-ranked kings, but they were still full of expectations for the rewards promised by the White Cloth Sect Master.
“Alright, no more nonsense, the full moon will be here soon, gather the power of Yin and Yang.”
Someone spoke up, his mask painted with a qilin design, telling the crowd not to speak.
As soon as this was said, the remaining four people immediately fell silent.
About a quarter of an hour later, finally the bright moon, above the dome of the sky, blossomed into light.
At once, the two Heavenly Kings, Green Dragon and White Tiger, struck out and condensed the power of Yin and Yang.
Immediately, space distorted and a powerful suction force pulled the five people inside.
Soon.
The figures of the five disappeared.
And the next moment, the five Heavenly Kings of the White Cloth Sect entered the Martial Emperor Secret Realm.
The Martial Emperor Secret Realm.
It was a mountain cave.
It looked somewhat barren and miscellaneous, and apart from an altar, there was nothing else.
There wasn’t even a single hair.
When the five entered the secret realm, the first thing they did was to start searching, and with just a glance, they found that there was nothing inside the cave.
But suddenly, the voice of the Qilin Heavenly King rang out.
“Look on the stone wall, you guys.”
As the voice of the Qilin Heavenly King rang out, for a moment the other four Heavenly Kings looked towards the stone wall.
At a glance, in a flash, the four of them changed their expressions a little.
I am a loyal member of the Great Wei, I have been with His Majesty in his seven northern expeditions and have achieved great success in battle.
In his old age, his Majesty was imprisoned by treacherous ministers. He was aware of the changes in the court, and although he wished to destroy the party, he was unable to do so, so he entrusted me with the task of taking his heir away and hiding it among the people, so that when the time was right, he could return to the court and regain the throne.
However, the imperial ministers are already aware of this and have sent countless troops to hunt them down day and night. In order to protect His Majesty’s orphan, I have placed him in Ping’an County and opened up this place.
[Execute the traitors, clear the king’s side, and return a clear sky to Wei]
His Majesty has asked the Great Reality to look at the face of the Emperor’s son. He will be handsome, with great talent in Confucianism and martial prowess.
Five paragraphs of text appeared on the stone wall, and at this moment the gazes of the five people instantly became somewhat stunned.
“This?”
“Sure enough, the late emperor really did have a legacy son.”
“This is important evidence, it’s really exactly as the Sect Master said, the Martial Emperor had a legacy son, and I didn’t expect it to be left behind in Ping’an County.”
Several people were shocked.
As Heavenly Kings of the White Cloth Sect, they were naturally absolutely loyal to the White Cloth Sect, but they were not as convinced about the Martial Emperor’s legacy son.
After all, it was not like they were clear about such matters, and who dared to be sure if the White-Clothed Sect was plotting rebellion under the slogan of searching for the Martial Emperor’s legacy son, and if it was true or not?
For them, joining the White Cloth Sect was either a desperate move, or it would bring them help, and they each had their own needs.
If the rebellion succeeds, good for you and good for me, but if it fails, there is nothing to say.
But now that they had arrived at the Martial Emperor’s relics, they had actually learned that the story of the Martial Emperor’s orphans was true.
This meant that the White Cloth Sect was not a rebel group at all, but a true warrior of justice.
Although this had no effect on the bigger picture, after all, the White Cloth Sect had said so a long time ago, but this stone wall, for the disciples of the White Cloth Sect, especially the five of them, had a certain significance ah.
What a way to increase the confidence of the rebellion.
But what really stunned the five was not this, but the fact that ‘the orphan of the Martial Emperor is in Ping’an County’, and that he had the appearance of being a great talent in Confucianism, as well as having the divine power of martial arts, both in literature and martial arts.
This is what really astonished the five.
The Great Wei Dynasty, now that the country is flourishing, has gathered the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron, and its qi is unparalleled.
With the current strength of the White Clan, it was basically impossible to rebel, unless one joined forces with the Great Wei Clan King, otherwise, if one wanted to rebel, one should wash one’s hands of it.
The five barracks are now under the control of the empress and the people are united, not to mention the fact that there is a Xu Qingnian.
Therefore, the White Clan has no intention of revolting, and can only wait for the right time to act.
But if they find the orphan of Emperor Wu, it will be a different story.
The orphan of Emperor Wu is the rightful Crown Prince of the Great Wei, and he is also a man. If he is found, he can return to the court in an open and fair manner.
In the presence of Xu Qingnian and the six ministers, the orphan of Emperor Wu was brought out.
Isn’t Xu Qingnian a half-saint? Wouldn’t he dare to kill the orphan of the Martial Emperor?
Who would dare to disrespect this orphan?
If they really dare to kill him, will the people of Wei accept it? If you were to kill him, would the people of Wei accept it?
To kill one’s brother is a great crime.
Especially for the Emperor, if you dare to kill your brother and give the world such a head start, then Confucian rites and music will collapse, morality will fall, and the fortunes of the Great Wei will not be affected.
Finding the orphan of Emperor Wu would mean that the empress could be blackmailed into abdicating.
But the White Clan is using the power of the people and the pressure of the va*sal kings, plus the criticism of the scholars.
The empress cannot abdicate unless she does.
You do not abdicate, the va*sal kings around the world can justifiably rebel, the first cla*s are not good to intervene, after all, this is the family affairs of the royal family.
Where is it that the crown prince does not ascend to the throne and allows the princess to do so?
If the eldest son does not ascend to the throne and inherit the throne, every household in Wei will be in an uproar, and who does not covet the family’s wealth, the second and third sons or even the youngest? Who wouldn’t want a bigger share?
It may not seem like a big deal, but the implications are enormous.
Especially since the stone wall was deliberately inscribed with the phrase.
[His Majesty had asked the Great Reality to look at the face of the Emperor’s son, his future face is handsome, he has great talent in Confucianism, and also has martial arts prowess.
What does this mean?
This means that this orphan of the Emperor Wu is a capable and powerful prince, who is both literary and martial.
He was not a loser.
The fear was that if he became an orphan, he would have no talent at all, in which case the court would use this as a reason to make him a prince, and that would be enough.
But if this orphan of the Great Wei has talent, force, and both civil and military skills, then he will definitely be able to influence the Great Wei.
The White Clan, the va*sal kings, the world’s scholars, have helped this man, and have enough strength to call the shots with the Great Wei empress.
At this moment, the voice of the Green Dragon Heavenly King could not help but ring out.
“So the orphan of Emperor Wu is actually hiding in Ping’an County, and he has both literary and martial skills, he will become a great a*set in the future.”
“Hiss, wait, isn’t Xu Qingnian from Ping’an County? He seems to be of a similar age to the orphan of the Martial Emperor, could it be that Xu Qingnian is the orphan of the Martial Emperor?”
His voice rang out, looking incomparably stunned.
As soon as he said this, the remaining four Heavenly Kings also revealed their shocked expressions.
If it was indeed Xu Qingnian, then it would be troublesome, at least for the White Cloth Sect, not a good thing.
Xu Qingnian was now a Half-Sage of Great Wei and had his heart set on the life of Great Wei. Now that he had been crowned King of Peace and Chaos, and enjoyed half of Great Wei’s national fortune, he did not care about the empire at all.
Even if Xu Qingnian was really the orphan of Emperor Wu, it would be of no use, as Xu Qingnian would not rebel.
“Impossible.”
“I know Xu Qingnian’s age, he is just twenty years old this year and the Empress of Great Wei is twenty-four, there is a difference of four years between the two, the orphan of the Martial Emperor should be a little older than the Empress in age, how could it be Xu Qingnian?”
The Xuanwu Heavenly King spoke out, and he directly denied this possibility.
There was no explanation for the four-year difference in age.
“Perhaps Xu Qingnian lied about her age? It’s normal for these scholars to state their age a little younger.”
The Green Dragon Heavenly King replied, raising this possibility, but soon the Vermilion Bird Heavenly King shook his head.
“That’s even more unlikely, one can reside in one’s face and lie about one’s age, but one’s flesh and bones as well as one’s qi and blood cannot lie, if Xu Qingnian had lied about his age, the Great Wei Palace of Literature would have made an issue of it long ago, if Xu Qingnian had really lied about his age.”
“Obviously twenty-four years old, four years younger, according to this kind of urine of the Vermilion Saint lineage, they won’t say?”
The Vermilion Bird Heavenly King’s voice rang out and the crowd nodded their heads, not that they didn’t doubt Xu Qingnian, but they were too convinced of the P*ssiness of the Vermilion Saint’s lineage.
Who under the heavens didn’t know what kind of character the Vermilion Saint’s lineage was?
“If it’s not Xu Qingnian, then who could it be?”
“Wentao Martial Arts? This kind of person wouldn’t think of keeping a low profile, plus if you count today, he should be twenty-five years old, or even over twenty-five, if he is still lurking, when some years have pa*sed I’m only afraid that even if he comes out, the Great Wei Dynasty won’t be able to let him inherit the throne.”
The Green Dragon Heavenly King agreed with what the Vermilion Bird Heavenly King had said, but the question was, who was the orphan of the Martial Emperor?
For a moment, the crowd was somewhat silent.
And abruptly, the voice of the Qilin Heavenly King rang out.
“Did you all know that Xu Qingnian has a senior brother.”
The Qilin Heavenly King’s voice rang out, and for a moment, the crowd could not help but be filled with curiosity.
“I’ve heard of it, but it’s not very famous, it seems to be called …… Called …… What’s it called?”
“I have an impression, when the Taiping Poetry Conference, this senior brother Xu Qingnian appeared once, and then it was unclear.”
“When you say so I remember, Xu Qingnian did have a senior brother, but what was his name I don’t know.”
“Qilin Heavenly King, do you mean to say that Xu Qingnian’s senior brother is perhaps the orphan of the Martial Emperor?”
The four spoke up, all of them clearly did not remember Chen Xinghe’s name, after all, it was not like Chen Xinghe had much fame, the only fame he had was thanks to Xu Qingnian, otherwise, they would not even know that Chen Xinghe was Xu Qingnian’s senior brother.
“It’s possible, but it’s hard to say, I haven’t seen him, except that there are scouts within the sect who have recorded information about him.”
“Aged exactly twenty-four, born in the first month, also a scholar, otherwise, in a small Ping’an County, apart from Xu Qingnian, have we ever heard of any talented person?”
The Qilin Heavenly King replied.
Ever since Xu Qingnian became famous, the White Cloth Sect had been secretly observing him, not to say recording his every move in such detail, but who was around him naturally had to be recorded.
It just so happened that the Qilin Heavenly King had read Chen Xinghe’s information profile, but he just didn’t put too much thought into it, after all, what was there to remember about a jerk?
Now it seemed that this Chen Xinghe was most likely the orphan of the Martial Emperor.
“If it really is him, that’s also troublesome.”
The Green Dragon Heavenly King spoke up and said so.
“No, it’s impossible to say.”
“Who can guarantee that he knows? And who can guarantee that Xu Qingnian knows?”
“Besides, as Xu Qingnian’s senior brother, he would watch his junior brother step by step to reach the highest level? Is he willing to do that? All human hearts are selfish and complicated.”
“If he doesn’t know his own life, and Xu Qingnian doesn’t know the life of this senior brother of his, it will be a good thing for us.”
“Of course, it doesn’t have to be his senior brother, maybe it’s someone else too.”
“In this way, I will investigate with Vermilion Bird in Ping’an County, you three go back and report this matter, let the Sect Master make the choice, don’t take matters into your own hands, in case we delay something big, we can’t afford it.”
The Qilin Heavenly King did not act rashly, he was just guessing a bit, whether it was Chen Xinghe or not was still an unknown.
There was no need to be in such a hurry.
“En.”
“The Qilin Heavenly King is right, it’s better to let the Sect Master decide.”
Several people nodded, only for the Xuanwu Heavenly King’s voice to ring out.
“Other things aside, where is the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure? Why isn’t there anything here?”
He frowned, looking slightly puzzled.
At this moment, the crowd couldn’t help but reveal their curiosity as well.
Although they had learned some information, what they cared more about was the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure.
They knew that the Martial Emperor’s treasures were worth a lot of money and that all the powers wanted them.
They were not sure what was there overall, but the only thing they were sure of was one thing, the Ancient Scripture of the Dan God, an ancient scripture that recorded the world’s Dan recipes, and was said to contain such divine items as the Realm Breaker Pill.
But the problem was that there was none here.
“There are only two possibilities.”
“Either it has been short-changed or hidden away by this person.”
The Qilin Heavenly King pointed at the stone wall and said so.
“There’s no way it could have been short-changed, our White Cloth Sect knew about it a long time ago, no one knew that the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure was here.”
“If we really want to talk about it, then it would be Xu Qingnian who knows something, but he doesn’t know the secret of the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure either, Wu Yan wouldn’t tell him.”
“It should have been taken away by this senior, and most likely hidden in the relic.”
The Green Dragon Heavenly King spoke out, directly rejecting this possibility.
The crowd didn’t say anything more, as there was nothing major wrong with what the Green Dragon Heavenly King said.
But at that moment, a voice rang out.
It was the Xuanwu Heavenly King.
“There is one thing, have you noticed? The writing on this stone wall seems to have just been carved on it.”
The Xuanwu Heavenly King spoke thus, pointing at the stone wall.
As soon as this was said, the gazes of the crowd all fell on the stone wall, not to mention that it was really like that.
“What’s so strange about that.”
“Someone who has followed the Martial Emperor on his seven northern expeditions and who has managed to achieve great feats in battle, he must be a great man, and he must be a second-rank martial artist if not worse.”
“And this is a cave world, the words carved twenty years ago look as if they have just been carved today, what is this tactic?”
He didn’t think it was a big deal, instead he thought the crowd was a bit suspicious.
“Alright, whatever else, let’s tell the Sect Master about this matter first, and let’s talk about the rest later.”
The Qilin Heavenly King said this, and did not continue, the crowd did not speak, and then continued to search a bit, and found that indeed there were no items, then they left.
And at the same time.
Great Wei Linyang County.
Yangping County.
This is the home of the saints of the Great Wei.
Zhu Sheng was born here, and it was also his former residence.
Almost every day, Yangping County is overcrowded with talented students from all over the world who come here to pay their respects to Zhu Sheng, to express their hearts and to hope that the saint will give them a little bit of holy will.
So that they can win the imperial examination in the coming year.
Only today.
People have come to the government town and a large number of officials have cordoned off Yangping County, not allowing all scholars to enter.
So much so that there were rumours that Xu Qingnian wanted to crack down on the Zhu Sheng lineage, so he completely abolished the former residence of Zhu Sheng, leading to a group of scholars dying to cause trouble.
Later on, with repeated a*surances from the government, the group of scholars gave up.
It’s not that the scholars had to make a fuss, but since Zhu Sheng was involved, even the most righteous scholars couldn’t stand by and watch the destruction of Zhu Sheng’s residence.
And with the officials blockading Yangping County.
Xu Qingnian’s figure, too, appeared inside Zhu Sheng’s former residence.
He was now of the third rank.
It was an easy task for him to escape the blockade by the officials.
It was Xu Qingnian’s intention to blockade Zhu Sheng’s residence, and the reason for this was that he was afraid of causing any trouble.
At the moment, Zhu Sheng’s residence is empty.
Xu Qingnian took her time to look for it alone.
Zhu Sheng’s residence is not big, it is just a mansion, where Zhu Sheng studied, a courtyard, and a place to live.
When he landed in the courtyard, a faint holy intent filled the air, and the Hao Ran Wen Zhong hidden in his hair could not help but vibrate slightly.
It seemed to sense something.
“Wen Zhong, take me to find the True Spirit of the Vermilion Saint.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, asking the Haoran Wen Zhong to take him to find the True Spirit of the Vermilion Sage.
After all, the Haoran Wen Zhong was a sacred weapon that was personally refined by the Vermilion Saint, so it naturally had a sense of the Vermilion Saint’s true spirit.
When he heard Xu Qingnian’s request, the Vast Manifestation Clock was straightforward and flew towards Zhu Sheng’s residence.
Xu Qingnian followed behind.
Soon after, he entered the Zhu Sheng’s residence.
Inside the dwelling, it was very plain, no different from an ordinary scholar’s room, but there were some books on the table, all of which were holy words.
There was also a small bed next to it, a place for Zhu Sheng to rest after getting sleepy from reading.
Buzzing.
The Hao Ran Wen Zhong landed on the bed and made a buzzing sound. Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything and sat down directly on the bed.
It was just that the Hao Ran Wen Zhong shook its body a little, seemingly signalling for Xu Qingnian to lie down.
Without much thought, Xu Qingnian lay down on the bed couch.
Immediately afterwards the mysterious and mysterious holy intent pervaded out, but there was no vision, instead, it was replaced by weariness, a deep weariness.
Xu Qingnian did not block this tiredness. At his level, it was impossible for him to have tiredness, it was obviously a kind of communication.
Soon, Xu Qingnian closed his eyes and gradually drifted off to sleep.
It was not known how long had pa*sed.
As the sound of a book being read rang out, Xu Qingnian opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes, Xu Qingnian found that he was still in Zhu Sheng’s former residence, only after standing up, through the window, Xu Qingnian found a figure standing in the distance, holding a book in his hand and chanting.
It was Zhu Sheng, somewhat white-haired but not looking particularly senile, in his fifties or sixties.
It was a little younger than the Zhu Sheng he had seen before.
“Student Xu Qingnian, pay my respects to Zhu Sheng.”
Without any nonsense, Xu Qingnian walked straight out of the room and paid a deep obeisance towards Zhu Sheng in the courtyard.
Facing the sage, Xu Qingnian looked very respectful.
And Zhu Sheng, who was reading the sage’s book, could not help but look his gaze towards Xu Qingnian.
He did not say anything, but placed his hand on Xu Qingnian’s shoulder.
After a while, Zhu Sheng nodded his head and said.
“I understand, old man.”
He slowly spoke, through contacting Xu Qingnian, he instantly understood everything, his memories pa*sed on and learned what had happened before.
“Zhu Sheng, right now the Palace of Literature has broken away, and sub-sage Lu Zi, who established the Hao Ran Dynasty, will be founding the country in ten days.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t have any nonsense, and directly informed Zhu Sheng of the current situation, there was no need to hide anything.
“The Wen Palace has really seceded?”
“Establishing the Hao Ran Dynasty?”
“Luzi? Who is Luzi again? Is he the one behind the curtain?”
Zhu Sheng opened his mouth and directly asked Xu Qingnian if Lu Zi was the one behind the curtain.
“Back to Sage, the student is not sure, but within the Great Wei Palace of Literature, Lu Zi has the highest rank and status, whether he is truly behind the scenes or not, this matter cannot escape with him.”
Xu Qingnian did not dare to be certain that Lu Zi was the real culprit behind the curtain, only that he could be a*sured that it was absolutely impossible for Lu Zi to be unaware of it.
Hearing these words, Zhu Sheng nodded.
He then pondered a little and said.
“In that case, old me will indeed have to take action.”
“It’s a good thing that I like to leave a hand in my work, just because I’m worried that something might go wrong in the future, so I left behind three true spirits and three true intents.”
“I just didn’t expect that these people would have their ideas on old me, using my name to wreak havoc on the world of Confucianism.”
“They are really worse than animals.”
“Fortunately, the Great Wei has produced such a great talent as you, otherwise, I would really not be able to bear it.”
“These unworthy sons and grandsons, trying to harm me? You are delusional.”
Zhu Sheng cursed several times in a row before speaking.
“Shouren, the true spirit of the old man, you will be able to see it when you wake up.”
“After you get the true spirit, you only need to infuse it with your Hao Ren Qi and the old man will be able to recover.”
“But if conditions allow, you’d better look for the true spirit left behind by the old man again.”
“Otherwise, if you activate the true spirit of the old man, it will last for an hour at most, and if it is combined with the true intent, the old man will not only last for a day, but he will also be able to bring out ninety percent of the power of a saint.”
Zhu Sheng opened his mouth and said this.
“True intent?”
“Ninety percent?”
Xu Qingnian looked at Zhu Sheng, and then could not help but open his mouth to ask.
“There is something that the student is curious about, and I hope that the sage can clear up the student’s confusion.”
Xu Qingnian inquired.
“You speak.”
Zhu Sheng nodded his head and looked at Xu Qingnian.
“Dare I ask Sage, who is stronger, you or the First Grade? The student is referring to a First Grade martial artist.”
Xu Qingnian was curious, in his eyes, a First Grade Saint was strong, but not stronger than a First Grade Martial Artist, and reviving Zhu Sheng out was actually mainly because of Zhu Sheng’s identity.
After all, the Zhu Sheng lineage had been pressing themselves with Zhu Sheng every day, and now that he had revived Zhu Sheng, let’s see what else this group of readers would say.
And for Zhu Sheng’s strength.
Uh …… It should be strong, but it’s quite a bit worse than a first grade martial artist, right?
After all, the power of a saint is to control the power of heaven and earth and needs to be recognized by heaven and earth.
Hearing this enquiry from Xu Qingnian, Zhu Sheng immediately squared his expression and looked at Xu Qingnian with all seriousness.
“Shouren, do you know why Confucianism is the strongest system among all systems?”
Zhu Sheng opened his mouth, looking slightly confident in his words.
“Readers cultivate the righteousness of Hao, gather the supreme Yang power, and innately suppress demons.”
Xu Qingnian gave his reply.
“That’s just one point, what else?”
Zhu Sheng continued to ask.
When this was said, Xu Qingnian was somewhat unable to answer.
There is more? What else?
Xu Qingnian looked at Zhu Sheng with some curiosity.
Seeing Xu Qingnian look like this, Zhu Sheng sighed and then slowly spoke.
“I don’t blame you for not knowing, it’s mainly because the First Grade of Confucianism is too difficult.”
“But I will tell you the strength of a saint today.”
“Stepping into the First Grade, one can completely control the power of heaven and earth, and the control I am talking about is the control that comes with the heart.”
“It’s like, there is a First Grade martial artist who wants to kill Old Man, he has the ability to kill Old Man, but he doesn’t have the chance to kill Old Man, can you understand this meaning?”
Zhu Sheng said confidently, informing Xu Qingnian of the strength of a First Grade Saint.
Just looking at Xu Qingnian who still did not quite understand, Zhu Sheng had to continue to explain.
“Now that you are a Third Grade Half-Saint, are you finding that you can regulate the power of heaven and earth?”
Zhu Sheng asked.
“En.”
Xu Qingnian nodded.
As a Half-Sage, you could indeed regulate the power of heaven and earth, such as impeaching someone for causing trouble on earth and gathering the power of heaven and earth to kill them, provided of course that heaven and earth sensed it and approved of your actions.
If heaven and earth do not approve of your actions, then it is useless to speak out of turn.
It is just like Lu Zi, who is obviously a sub-sage, but suffers at his own hands for the same reason.
“A half-saint regulates the power of heaven and earth.”
“A sub-sage, on the other hand, gains the will of heaven and earth, which in other words means that what a sub-sage does is more likely to be recognised by heaven and earth.”
“As for reaching saints, it is no longer regulating the power of heaven and earth, but controlling the power of heaven and earth.”
“What is said is what is done, you can interpret it as the words coming out of the mouth, this is the power of a saint.”
“Therefore, a first-grade martial artist can kill a saint, but he cannot kill a saint.”
Zhu Sheng gave his reply.
Xu Qingnian probably understood.
He nodded, looking somewhat puzzled.
This made Zhu Sheng inexplicably a little uncomfortable.
“Forget it, Shouren, don’t ask so many questions yet, in short, after you revive the old man, I will show you what it means to be of the first rank.”
“For Confucianism to become the strongest system, it is definitely not just as simple as being able to suppress demons.”
Zhu Sheng had some toothache, he really didn’t know what to say.
Anyway, no matter what, let’s wait until he resurrected himself.
“Good.”
Xu Qingnian was also a little confused by what was said, not because he didn’t understand, mainly because he hadn’t witnessed it ah.
At least he had seen the strength of a first-grade martial artist with his own eyes, as for the strength of a saint, Xu Qingnian had never seen it.
“Sage, there is one more thing that the student would like to ask you.”
“Do you know the whereabouts of the Demon Subduing Divine Stone, the Dragon Blood Yang Jade and the Eight Treasure Buddha Lotus?”
Xu Qingnian spoke up, he had not forgotten about this matter and asked Zhu Sheng.
“The Demon Subduing God’s Stone? I’m not sure, but I do know about the Dragon Blood Yang Jade, it’s in the middle of the Palace of Literature.”
“If the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, it is something of the Buddha Sect, the Eight Treasures Merit Pond of the Buddha Sect spawned it, once in a thousand years, it can help one to awaken wisdom and suppress the demons of the mind.”
“What are you inquiring about this for?”
Zhu Sheng was curious, but apart from the Demon Suppressing Divine Stone, he knew the whereabouts of the other two items.
“The Dragon Blood Yang Jade is in the middle of the Palace of Literature?”
Xu Qingnian was a little surprised, he did not expect this item to be in the Wen Palace.
“En, if no one had gone to rob it, it should be within the Palace of Literature.”
“Dragon Blood Yang Jade, it is a treasure made from the blood of a true dragon dripping onto the innate pure Yang jade stone, this kind of thing naturally restrains evil spirits and demons.”
“There is a piece in the Palace of Literature, this kind of thing is the object of the Palace, but it is useful to say that it is useful, but it is also useless to say that it is useless, the Palace of Literature has the holy will of the old man in it, how can there be demons dare to enter.”
“As for the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, this is something of the Buddhist sect, Shouren, if it is not extremely necessary, do not get too deeply involved with the Buddhist sect, understand?”
Zhu Sheng gave his reply, informing Xu Qingnian of these two things and specifically urging Xu Qingnian not to get too close to the Buddhist Sect.
“Sage, can you help me get these two items? The student has a great use for them.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, he could not explain, he could only plead like this.
“The Dragon Blood Yang Jade, I can help you get it, it is a relic of the Palace of Literature itself, and as I am the Lord of the Palace of Literature, it is not a big deal to gift it to you.”
“But this Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, it’s a bit hard to say, if I were in my true body, I could help you get it, but it’s just a true spirit, it’s hard to fight for you to get it.”
“But one can try, depending on whether the Buddha Sect sells the old man’s face or not.”
“What do you need these things for? Did the Great Wei demons break out of the gate? That shouldn’t be the case, they were blocked by the old man’s eight gates.”
“Theoretically speaking, even if the Wen Palace is detached, for a brief period of time, they won’t be able to get out.”
Zhu Sheng was curious and wondered what Xu Qingnian wanted these three items for.
But after saying this, Xu Qingnian keenly grasped a piece of information.
“There are demons in Great Wei’s Kyoto?”
Xu Qingnian looked at Zhu Sheng and asked so.
And the latter looked calm as he nodded and said, “Yes, you wouldn’t even know about this, would you? That’s impossible, this matter should be known to even the Great Confucian in the Wen Palace.”
“No, that was five hundred years ago, it’s probably been hidden from the public for the past five hundred years, dammit.”
“What exactly is this person plotting? How can he not even tell us about such a big hidden problem? Wanting to get the whole of the Great Wei Cangzhi killed?”
Zhu Sheng muttered, then frowned, his face not looking too good.
“What kind of demon is it?”
“Can the student suppress it?”
Xu Qingnian enquired.
“It can’t be suppressed, unless you become a sub-sage, otherwise it would be difficult to suppress those demons.”
“However, instead of saying they are demons, it would be better to say they are evil demons, there is an underground pagoda under the Palace of Literature, there are nine floors in total, if you count them, they should all be dead, being suppressed for such a long time, they won’t live long.”
“But there are still one or two evil devils alive, exactly who else is alive, I am not sure, these few evil devils are extremely strong, among them there are also evil devils who practice otherworldly arts, even I, back then, it took me some time to suppress them.”
“Nothing will go wrong for a short period of time, after the matter of my lineage is settled, you will find the True Will and the next True Spirit as soon as possible, and by combining the True Spirit and True Will, I will be able to suppress them again.”
“I can also bring you along so that you can see how terrifying real evil demons are, and so that you don’t end up in a big trouble in the future.”
Zhu Sheng spoke in a firm tone.
Although Xu Qingnian was a half-saint, he was still not qualified, and the evil devils suppressed by a saint himself were naturally not something a half-saint could deal with.
A foreign art?
There was something inexplicably strange in Xu Qingnian’s heart, but fortunately he did not show it, instead he bowed towards Zhu Sheng and said.
“The student understands, please rest a*sured, Sage, the student will do his best to find your true intention.”
“However, dare I ask Sage, where is the next true spirit object?”
Xu Qingnian inquired.
“I am not sure, Shouren, the me you have seen is only the me of that time period, I am not sure about the things that follow, I can only know what happened before this time period.”
“You don’t need to think about this, it’s a bit complicated, it has to do with my personality, old man is more cautious in what he does, down the road when you become a saint, you will be too.”
“When you become a saint, you will understand many things.”
“But remember, no matter what never get too deeply involved with the Buddhists, they are very scary, if you fall into their path you will not be you, you will become their puppet.”
“Their source is very odd, I almost fell into their path back then, don’t mess with them if you can, and if you do mess with them, definitely don’t make a false deal with them, kill them if you have to.”
“Remember.”
Zhu Sheng’s voice kept ringing out, he spoke extremely fast, and after a while, his entire body slowly dissipated.
After Zhu Sheng had dissipated.
The scene around him also changed in an instant, gradually becoming void.
Immediately afterwards.
Xu Qingnian slowly opened his eyes.
Once again, he opened his eyes.
It was still Zhu Sheng’s former residence.
But at this moment, he was lying on a bed, and a token had appeared in his hand.
The token was carved in wood and had only one word on the front.
[Zhu].
This is the true spirit token left behind by Zhu Sheng, containing his true spirit.
As long as one poured Hao Ran Qi into it, one could revive Zhu Sheng.
Buzzing.
The Haoran Wen Zhong vibrated and seemed to appear somewhat pleasant.
While Xu Qingnian rubbed his temples, he hid the token and then his mind fell all over the Demon Subduing Divine Stone.
Right now, having obtained the Zhu Sheng True Spirit token, then there was no need to worry about the matter of the Wen Gong lineage at all.
The truth would be revealed when Zhu Sheng was invited here, and as for the people in Zhu Sheng’s lineage, they would all be handed over to Zhu Sheng, and those who should be killed would be killed, and those who should be abolished would be abolished.
Therefore, one did not need to worry about these things at all.
The truly important thing at the moment.
It was the Demon Subduing Divine Stone, the Dragon Blood Yang Jade, and the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus.
As for the True Will of the Vermilion Saint, even the Vermilion Saint himself did not know where this kind of thing was, so one could only find it as one wished.
“The Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, the Buddha Sect, don’t get too deeply involved, the Vermilion Saint almost fell into their path.”
“Looks like there will be right and wrong again in the future.”
Xu Qingnian muttered in his heart.
The Demon Subduing Divine Stone was related to the Martial Emperor’s Legacy Treasure.
The Dragon Blood Yang Jade was in the middle of the Palace of Literature, and Zhu Sheng would give it to himself.
There was only one thing left, the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, which involved the Buddha Sect, and listening to Zhu Sheng’s tone, even he might not be able to get it.
If he wanted to get it himself, it would probably be even more difficult.
“Forget it, don’t think about it too much.”
“Let’s get the Demon Subduing Divine Stone first, otherwise, any more talk is just empty talk.”
Xu Qingnian said to himself in his heart.
For now, the Demon Subduing Divine Stone was the most important thing, and it was indeed a bit overly ambitious to think about the things behind it without even getting the first thing in hand.
Thinking of this.
Xu Qingnian directly got up and quietly left Zhu Sheng’s former residence, heading towards Ping’an County.
Yes, Xu Qingnian was going back to Ping’an County again.
If the Demon Subduing Divine Stone was among the Martial Emperor’s treasures, then it proved one thing, that the Martial Emperor’s relics that he had found in the first place were either missing or he had looked in the wrong place.
Thinking carefully, Xu Qingnian gathered his Demon Subduing Force and transformed into a blazing horse, stepping into the air and rushing directly to Ping’an County.
At the same time, Xu Qingnian also awakened the Dan God Ancient Scripture.
“Senior Dan Shen, there’s something for you.”
Xu Qingnian opened her mouth and called out to the Dan God Ancient Scripture.
“What is it?”
“Is it to refine a Fourth Grade Realm Breaking Pill?”
“Hiss.”
“How did you break through to the third grade? This doesn’t make sense, you’ve only just broken through to the fifth grade, how did you break through to the third grade all of a sudden?”
Dan Shen Gu Jing woke up from his slumber and subconsciously thought that Xu Qingnian needed the prescription for a fourth grade realm-breaking pills.
But to his surprise, Xu Qingnian had already reached the third grade.
This exceeded his imagination.
“Senior, junior is asking something, if senior is willing to tell, junior will do everything he can to find the second-grade realm-breaking pill ingredients as well.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, he didn’t bother to explain that much.
“You say.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing could hear that Xu Qingnian’s tone was somewhat serious, and did not waste time.
“Was the Martial Emperor’s relic that junior was seeking at the beginning a fake?”
Xu Qingnian asked, getting right to the point.
When this was said, Dan Shen Gu Jing fell silent.
“Senior, it’s not that junior is threatening you, but the Martial Emperor’s relics are extremely relevant to junior, and junior needs an item called the Demon Subduing God Stone, which is basically certain to be in the Martial Emperor’s relics.”
“If you get it, it will be extremely helpful to junior, if you don’t get it, junior can guarantee that if the Martial Emperor hides you in the relics, junior will hide you in the deep sea, and you won’t be able to get out of it.”
Xu Qingnian spoke in a serious tone.
Although he didn’t know exactly what the purpose of the Dan God Ancient Scripture was in helping him refine his pills, he knew with a little guessing that it must be something like getting out of trouble.
If not, why else would he have nothing better to do than to help people refine pills?
What do you need so many herbs for? To soar?
Xu Qingnian was not stupid, so she could guess.
Therefore, Xu Qingnian used the most abject tone and said the most ruthless words.
As for whether Dan Shen Gu Jing agreed or not, it was his business.
Sure enough, after hearing these words again, Dan Shen Gu Jing became somewhat depressed.
“How did you kid turn into this too? Threatening old me?”
“Fine, count your brat as ruthless, but I can tell you the truth, but there’s one thing I’ll say first.”
“Once it involves something that cannot be involved, you don’t blame old me for pulling you down and turning back to be angry with old me.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing had some toothache, but he still gave his reply.
Because he believed it.
Xu Qingnian really dared to suppress him to the bottom of the sea.
By then, he would not be seen for thousands of years and would be found, so he still compromised.
“Please tell me senior.”
Xu Qingnian said with a determined expression.
