Second year of Wuchang.
March 1.
The Haozhuang Dynasty.
Here the spirit of Hao Rang is pervasive and talent is everywhere.
Readers gather as in the heyday, and in order to develop basic agriculture, they follow Xu Qingnian’s example and educate people for free, but ask their fathers to farm.
The Hao Ran dynasty does not have barracks and is not afraid of having the countries to support it.
At this moment.
Inside the Palace of Literature.
Three monks holding a wooden sign, slowly walk into it.
At the head was an old monk with white eyebrows, but in great spirits, holding a mantle in his hand, looking incomparably solemn.
Behind him were two men, one in a white robe, Wuming, and one in a red and blue robe, in his forties, holding a demon-slaying pestle.
The Tianzhu Temple is one of the two Buddhist poems, the second being the Little Leiyin Temple.
However, in recent years, Little Leiyin Temple has gradually lost its lustre, and Tianzhu Temple’s prestige has grown, with close to 90% of the monks in the entire Western Desert being Tianzhu Temple monks.
The main reason for this is that in recent years, Tianzhu Temple has repeatedly produced high ranking monks with proficient Buddhist attainments, which have indeed overshadowed the glory of Little Thunderbolt Temple.
But unlike the imperial government, the Buddhist ideals are the same, and it doesn’t matter who is stronger or weaker.
He who wears the robe is also for the imminent righteousness.
Inside the Palace of Literature.
“Amitabha Buddha, the true spirit of Zhu Sheng has been returned to its rightful owner, and it is considered to be a complete merit and a blessing for the world’s people.”
The old monk in the lead spoke, one of the four divine monks of the Tianzhu Temple, Senior Monk Hui Jue, clad in a purple and blue robe, dignified and sacred.
As he spoke, he handed the wooden medallion to the half-saint in the Palace of Literature.
The latter took the wooden plaque with unusual excitement and then saluted towards Senior Monk Hui Jue, saying.
“Divine Monk Hui Jue, Lu Sheng is already waiting in the small world, please go.”
Zhou Sheng spoke out, looking at the other party and saying this.
There were only two half-saints left in the Palace of Literature, one being Zhou Sheng and the other being Wu Sheng, and they were here to greet the True Spirit of Zhu Sheng.
“Good, I’ll trouble the two half-saints.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke out, then turned back to his two disciples and said.
“Wuming, Wuxin, the two of you wait here.”
He said these words, and then took a step forward, disappearing in an instant, heading off to the World of the Palace of Literature.
The next moment.
In the small world of the Palace of Literature.
Talented Qi rushed about, evolving green mountains and water, appearing beautiful.
As the figure of Divine Monk Hui Jue appeared, the figure of Lu Sheng also appeared.
“Greetings, Lu Sheng.”
Upon seeing Lu Sheng, Divine Monk Hui Jue bowed towards the other party and folded his hands.
A sub-saint, the number one Confucian in the world, was also the number one person in the world, and all the major powers in the world had to be courteous, and only Xu Qingnian dared to be so disrespectful.
“Master Hui Jue is very kind, it is really a great honour to find the true spirit of a saint for my Zhu Sheng lineage.”
Lu Sheng spoke quietly, his expression gentle as he looked towards Huijue and said so.
“Now that the Palace of Literature is in possession of the True Spirit of the Vermilion Sage, it is also a blessing to the people of the world.”
Master Hui Jue spoke, his tone calm.
“En.”
“With the true spirit in hand, the Palace of Literature can indeed benefit the world’s living beings, but all this is still thanks to the Buddha’s help, otherwise it would not be so easy.”
Lu Sheng spoke out indifferently, now that Zhu Sheng’s true spirit had been recovered, the biggest worry in his heart had completely dissipated.
In seven days’ time, the world would be shocked, and then everything could be cleared up.
“Lu Sheng is very kind.”
“Since the item has been returned to its original owner, then the poor monk would like to ask Saint Lu a question, can our Buddhist sect’s items be returned?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke up and looked towards Lu Sheng.
“The Dragon Blood Yang Jade?”
“Please don’t worry, Master Hui Jue, when the country is established, this item will definitely be given to the Tianzhu Temple.”
Lu Sheng spoke out and gave an answer.
Only when this was said, the latter shook his head and said, “Lu Sheng, it is not a gift, it is a return.”
“The Dragon Blood Yang Jade, in itself, is an object of my Buddhist sect, only that it was later left behind in the Central Continent and was obtained by Zhu Sheng, but of course it is good that it was obtained by Zhu Sheng, if it were anyone else, they would have embezzled it, only Confucianism is selfless.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke, and he emphasized that this Dragon Blood Yang Jade was something of their Buddhist sect.
When Lu Sheng heard this, he did not look at all, but merely nodded his head.
“Master Hui Jue take a good rest, in a few days it will be the Founding Event, and there is no need to make another trip.”
Lu Sheng spoke out and said so.
“No, the poor monk has other things to do, so he will not rest here.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue shook his head, he did not intend to stay here.
At that moment, Lu Sheng did not continue to ask, he just said a few words, and immediately afterwards, he watched the Huijue divine monk leave.
After the Huijue Divine Monk left, the disgust in Lu Sheng’s eyes could not help but show through.
“These vultures, they are really shameless to the extreme.”
“The Dragon Blood Yang Jade, which is clearly a relic of the Vermilion Saint, has now become a relic of the Buddhist Sect? And return it to its original owner? How ridiculous.”
“It took several hundred years of Zhu Sheng’s pa*sing before he dared to say such things, how come when Zhu Sheng was around, he didn’t dare to say it?”
Lu Sheng cursed coldly in his heart.
He did not have any good feelings towards Buddhism either, and if he did not need the help of Buddhism, plus someone wanted Confucianism and Buddhism to get closer, otherwise, he would not want to get involved with Buddhism at all.
But it didn’t matter, for the moment he had to finish his business first.
The founding of the dynasty in ten days’ time was what really mattered.
It was also at this moment.
Zhou Sheng’s shadow appeared here.
“Greetings to Lu Sheng.”
As Zhou Sheng appeared, he bowed directly towards Lu Sheng.
“En.”
Lu Sheng nodded, and the latter immediately spoke.
“Lu Sheng, it has been determined that the wooden token indeed contains the True Spirit of the Vermilion Saint.”
Zhou Sheng opened his mouth and reported the situation to Lu Sheng.
Once this was said, Lu Sheng looked calm and said.
“Put the Vermilion Saint wooden medal into the Holy Hall of the Palace of Literature, consecrate it properly, and have all the Great Confucians of Heaven and Earth chant the scriptures to contain it, it will be of great use in seven days.”
Lu Sheng gave the order, and the latter nodded before voicing his doubts.
“Lu Sheng, this Zhu Sheng wooden tablet, since we know the location, why don’t we send our own people there? This Buddha Sect is no good, and getting involved with them up here is undoubtedly seeking skin with a tiger.”
Zhou Sheng spoke out as he voiced the concerns in his mind.
It was a good thing that Zhu Sheng’s true spirit had been retrieved, but the person escorting it over was a disciple of the Buddha Sect, which made him feel a little bit uncomfortable, but he could not disobey Lu Sheng’s wishes, so he could only ask and see what the meaning was.
“This saint understands.”
“There is indeed a problem with the Buddhist Sect, for thousands of years they have been eyeing the Central Continent, especially the Great Wei Dynasty, and have always wanted to push the Buddhist teachings to the Great Wei Dynasty.”
“It is only a pity that they have been preparing for hundreds of years, but they did not expect that a fifth generation of saints had emerged from Confucianism.”
“So much so that the Buddhists returned in defeat, and it was because of this that the unbeatable Little Thunder Sound Temple fell into despair and was overtaken by the Tianzhu Temple.”
“If it was originally, we were still in the Great Wei Dynasty, naturally we could not mess with the Buddhists, but now that we have created our own dynasty, then everyone in the world can be our pawns.”
“Buddhism or dynasties, even demons can be used if they can achieve our plans, and this is a necessity in order to promote the Zhu Sheng’s school.”
Lu Zi opened his mouth and made a crowning excuse for himself.
Only when he heard this, Zhou Sheng did not agree, but did not refute either, but continued to look at Lu Zi and said.
“Lv Sheng, what is the reason for the Buddha Sect being so willing?”
Zhou Sheng continued to ask.
The Buddha Sect was willingly helping them, if this didn’t cost something, he would definitely not believe it.
“The Dragon Blood Yang Jade, and the entry into Great Wei.”
Lu Zi opened his mouth and slowly stated the Buddha Sect’s idea.
Just as soon as this was said, Zhou Sheng’s face couldn’t help but change.
“Entering the Great Wei?”
He didn’t care much about things like the Dragon Blood Yang Jade, after all, this kind of thing didn’t do much for them, it was nothing more than a relic of the Vermillion Saint.
If they gave it away, they would give it away.
But what really surprised Zhou Sheng was that the Buddhist Sect actually wanted to enter Great Wei, this was really a great ambition.
“The Buddhist sect relies on the faith of all beings to cultivate, and the entire Western Continent is their Buddhist sect’s pure land, which can help them breed Buddhas, but these people are too ambitious, after so many years, they still want to push the Buddhist sect to the Central Continent.”
“Now it’s a good thing that as soon as we broke away from the Great Wei Dynasty, they have their eyes on it and want to move in over there.”
“If they do move in, not to mention how much trouble the Great Wei Dynasty will cause, just the Buddhist Sect’s methods are disgusting, so if we really let them move in, it will definitely not be a good thing for us.”
Zhou Sheng spoke quickly and firmly, not wanting the Buddhist Sect to enter Great Wei.
There are three major dynasties in the Central Continent, the Great Wei, the Sudden Evil and the First Yuan.
The one that the Buddhists wanted most was the Great Wei Dynasty, because the Great Wei Dynasty itself was enriched by the qi of the Central Continent, plus the Great Wei Dynasty was also the strongest dynasty in the Central Continent, certainly the strongest dynasty at one time.
The Tusi and Primordial Yuan dynasties, on the other hand, were actually more imitations of the Great Wei, once imitating the Great Wei court system, and later imitating the Great Wei system of residence and food.
The position of Great Wei in the Central Continent was indeed unshakeable, and it was for this reason that the Buddhists wished to enter Great Wei, and as long as they succeeded in doing so, then they could quickly dominate the Central Continent in just a few decades.
Others did not know how terrifying the power of faith was, but they, the readers, did.
Naturally, Zhou Sheng did not want to see this scene.
And Lu Sheng shook his head and looked to Zhou Sheng.
“This is natural, and this Saint will not allow the Buddhists to invade the Central Continent, after all, this Central Continent is still the world of my Readers in the end, the Buddhists want to come in and compete for the faith, fools dream.”
Lu Sheng spoke, his words filled with disdain.
He was indeed disgusted with the Buddhists.
It was just the situation, if he hadn’t been forced out of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was no way he would have gotten involved with the Buddhists.
From what he had just seen, he could see how disgusting the Buddhist Sect was.
Once a person dies, it can be disgusting to have to say that it is something that is not theirs.
“But the Buddhist Sect can make good use of it, they want to use us, we can use them too.”
“If the Buddhist Sect wants to enter Great Wei, they must do three things.”
“One, get our permission, the biggest power in the Central Continent, not Great Wei, is us, the Readers.”
“Two, the empress drew in the forces of the Immortal Way, ostensibly to suppress the demons, but in fact to prevent the invasion of the Buddhists, and if you want to enter Great Wei, you will not be able to do so in this life without suppressing the forces of the Immortal Way.”
“Thirdly, the situation in the world, now that the dust realm is peaceful and stable, especially the Great Wei Dynasty, relying on the Zhu Sheng back then, has suppressed as many demons, the importance of the Buddha Sect also seems less important.”
“If these three points are not achieved, the Buddhist Sect will not be able to enter Great Wei without fear.”
Lu Zi said with great confidence.
In his eyes, the Central Continent was his territory, the world of the scholars, so how could he tolerate the Buddhist Sect getting its hands on it?
Right now it was just a matter of using the Buddhist Sect.
Of course, the Buddhists were also using them, which Lu Zi understood, but who would benefit in the end, both had confidence in each other.
When he heard Luzi say this, Zhou Sheng’s heart dropped. It was good that Luzi understood the big picture, but what he feared most was that in order to suppress Xu Qingnian, Luzi would seek the skin of a tiger and let the Buddha Sect take advantage of the situation.
If that was the case, it would be really troublesome.
“Alright, there’s no need for you to remind me of this matter.”
“Now that the True Spirit of Zhu Sheng has arrived, we can let the Zhu Sheng lineage do its work.”
“The Founding Ceremony is just around the corner, so let the world’s scholars do what they need to do.”
“Bash Great Wei, bash Xu Qingnian, cause real conflicts, Xu Qingnian will surely not be able to resist, at the critical moment, revive the True Spirit of the Vermilion Sage, obliterate Xu Qingnian, suppress the Great Wei’s national fortune, in that case, we can also get back the fortune that belongs to us.”
Lu Zi spoke out, now that he had the True Spirit of the Vermilion Saint, his confidence returned once again.
The True Spirit of the Vermilion Saint could revive the will of the Vermilion Saint, and with the help of the Vermilion Saint’s hand, eradicate the dissidents, how could this not make him confident? And how could it not make him joyful?
“Respectfully, I will follow the will of Saint Lu.”
Zhou Sheng nodded, suppressing the Great Wei and suppressing Xu Qingnian was nothing, as long as the Buddhist Sect did not interfere in the Central Continent, then he had no objection.
After all, Lu Sheng would not live for a few years, and the future controller of the Zhu Sheng Wen Palace would be him, Zhou Sheng.
If the Buddhist Sect came in, it would not be a good thing for him.
Soon, Zhou Sheng disappeared.
In the small world, only Lu Sheng was left alone.
Looking at Zhou Sheng who had left, how could Lu Sheng not know what Zhou Sheng was planning to do?
Only that he was not angry, this was a common human feeling.
“Xu Qingnian, Xu Qingnian, this time, I want to see how you can change your fate against the heavens.”
Lu Zi clenched his fists, his voice was cold and his eyes were filled with confidence and killing intent.
And at the same time.
Outside the Hao Ran Dynasty.
Divine Monk Hui Jue stepped on the auspicious clouds, followed by his two disciples.
He was heading west.
The gaze of Divine Monk Hui Jue was incomparably calm, but after a while, his voice rang out.
“Wuxin, what do you think of the Palace of Literature?”
He spoke, his tone calm.
The voice rang out and the monk called Wuxin fell silent for a moment, thinking for a moment before speaking slowly.
“Master, the people of the Wen Palace are still wary of our Buddhist sect.”
“And do not trust us.”
Wuxin replied slowly, his face incomparably calm.
At these words, Divine Monk Huijue’s face changed, then he let out a long sigh and said.
“It seems that the Wen Palace is not yet at the end of its rope, I am afraid that we still have a ways to go if we want to truly enter the Central Continent.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke up, this disciple of his was born with the It Heart Tong, not that he could hear the hearts of others, but that he could feel the attitudes of others.
That was why he had deliberately brought Wuxin here, to see what the attitude of the Palace of Literature really was.
What he did not expect was that the attitude of the Palace of Literature remained the same as it once was, not changing at all.
“Master, why are we so obsessed with the Central Continent? After all, the Middle Continent is the world of the scholars, so if we want to really intervene, I’m afraid it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven, so we might as well go to the East.
Wuming spoke up, he did not have any good feelings towards the Central Continent, and the attitude of the Wen Palace was very unpleasant for him.
“There is someone else who will go to the East Ferry, furthermore when the ferry is really crossed, there is no way you will be allowed to go.”
“You are the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra, the protector of my Buddhist sect and the protector of the Buddha’s son, so don’t get involved in the matter of the ferrying of people.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke, suppressing the thought of Wuming.
Then he continued to speak again.
“In the Dust Realm, the Buddha Sect has occupied the Western Continent, turning it into a pure land for the benefit of the people of the Western Continent.”
“But the people of the world are still trapped in suffering, so the Buddhists are compa*sionate and naturally do not tolerate the suffering of the people and have entered the Central Continent for the sake of the people.”
Thus said the divine monk Hui Jue.
But Wuming’s complexion changed slightly and he looked at his master and said.
“Master, a monk must not deceive.”
He slowly spoke out, a word that made the divine monk Huijue froze, then thought of his disciple’s uncanny ability and couldn’t help but cough a little.
“Since ancient times, the Middle Continent has been filled with countless legends and miracles, and within the five continents, the Middle Continent has the most First Cla*ses, and it is even rumoured that the Middle Continent has given birth to Immortals, which is why the Immortal Way has established its roots in the Middle Continent.”
“Now that my Buddhist sect has given birth to a Buddha Son, who will soon be rightly enlightened, but the land of the Western Continent is restricted to the Buddha Son, who will enter the Middle Continent and compete for the power of all beings in the Middle Continent, my Buddhist sect will see an unprecedented prosperity.”
“The Buddha Sect can also be thoroughly established in the dust realm, when the Buddha Son is about to be righteously enlightened with great wisdom, pointing out a clear path for the world’s living beings, saving them from fire and water, wouldn’t that be good? My master is not wrong.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke out, explaining for himself as well as answering to his two disciples.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Both of them folded their hands and recited the Buddha’s name.
The Huijue divine monk then continued to speak.
“If the Buddhist Sect wants to enter the Central Continent, it must suppress the Confucian lineage.”
“The bottom of the Wen Palace is too strong, having suffered so much, they are still able to hold onto the hearts of the readers.”
“This time when they break away from Great Wei, they must also have a heavenly plan, if we let them have their way, it will be detrimental to our Buddhist sect.”
“Wuming, go and find your senior uncle, he will be leaving for Great Wei in the next two days, ask him to find Xu Qingnian and inform him about the true spirit of Zhu Sheng.”
“Do not offend the Wen Palace, but do not offend this Xu Qingnian either, in future we will need his help when we enter Great Wei, even if he does not help, we cannot offend him.”
The divine monk Hui Jue had already made his calculations and said so.
“I respectfully obey the decree.”
Wuming nodded, and at that moment he turned the rosary in his hand into a golden dragon and flew off extremely fast towards the Western Continent.
Looking at Wuming’s figure, the divine monk Huijue also looked unusually calm.
And so it was.
A few hours pa*sed.
A piece of news instantly reached the ears of the readers of the Zhu Sheng lineage from the Palace of Literature.
On the day of the founding of the Hao Ran Dynasty, the Wen Palace sub-sage would invite the holy will, with the devotion of the world’s readers, to invite the will of the Vermilion Sage to lay the foundation of the immortal prestige of the Hao Ran Dynasty.
When word of this event spread, the world’s Zhu Sheng lineage completely exploded.
The Vermilion Saint lineage had been suppressed too much in the past two years, especially in the last year, Xu Qingnian had practically stepped on their heads and shouted all sorts of things and flaunted all sorts of power.
First they disliked the Great Confucian, then the Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, then the Half-Sage, and finally the Sub-Sage.
Now, when the Zhu Sheng is about to be revived, these readers are completely confident.
Who can stand up to the revival of the Vermilion Sage?
Can Xu Qingnian stand up to it?
Although the world does not know how strong a saint is, it can be seen from the time.
What is the concept of a saint?
It takes thousands of years to produce one.
The scarcity of saints naturally makes people think that they are the strongest.
Especially for the scholars, they feel that saints are invincible.
At this moment, the Zhu Sheng lineage, backed by the saints, had completely let itself go.
Xu Qingnian had become a half-saint and pressed them to scream, first cutting their talent, and then subjecting them to the punishment of the Junzi sword.
It is impossible to say that there is no hatred.
But what is the reason for not speaking up in recent times?
Without this news, they would not have dared to criticise Xu Qingnian if the Palace had not asked them to do so.
Having suffered so many losses, they were indeed scared and had developed a sense of fear.
Now, when they learned that on the day the Hao Ran Dynasty was founded, they would invite the intention of Zhu Sheng, the fear in their hearts was gone, replaced by happiness, a kind of indescribable happiness ah.
At this moment, all sorts of voices, once again, resounded.
They were still cursing, repeating the same crap from before.
After all, some of the scholars were really scared of being beaten, so they didn’t dare to jump out so quickly, not because they were afraid that Zhu Sheng wouldn’t be able to suppress Xu Qingnian.
Rather, they were worried that the Palace of Literature would not be able to invite Zhu Sheng’s intention to come.
After all, they did not know that Zhu Sheng’s true spirit was found, and all the information was pa*sed on from person to person, so the credibility was there, but not very high.
The first readers to jump out were mainly because they had too deep a grudge and hated Xu Qingnian to the bone.
And at the same time.
Great Wei Dynasty.
Ping’an County.
Within the secret territory.
Xu Qingnian slowly opened her eyes.
It was still a cave, but it was a hundred times bigger than the previous cave, like a treasure trove.
The moment Xu Qingnian opened his eyes, a mountain of treasures was immediately reflected in his eyes.
Gold, silver and jewels, magic weapons and pills were piled up into a small mountain, appearing golden and glorious, shocking to the eyes.
At a glance, it was overwhelming.
“You’ve really found the Martial Emperor’s relics, you’re really lucky.”
“So many treasures, you should quickly see if there are any herbs for the First Grade Realm Breaking Pill, or other herbs as well, if you can’t refine a First Grade Realm Breaking Pill, you can also refine something else.”
The voice of the Dan God Ancient Scripture rang out, causing Xu Qingnian to wake up from his surprise.
“How come there are so many treasures?”
Xu Qingnian smacked her lips a little.
A mountain of treasures were placed around, these gold, silver and jewels were not idle items, any piece of gold was extremely precious red gold.
It was possible to build some weapons, which were ten thousand times more valuable than gold, especially some jade stones, which had miraculous effects, with spiritual qi pervading and even evolving some visions, which were not ordinary objects at first glance.
There were also a large number of medicinal herbs, each of which was incomparably precious and hard to find in the world, and there was no lack of pill kings among them.
But Xu Qingnian’s first reaction was not joy, but confusion.
There were so many treasures that should have been left in the Great Wei Dynasty, what was the point of hiding them all here?
Is Emperor Wu really out of his mind?
“What are you still doing? Hurry up and grab it? If not, let the old man take it, half for one.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing looked a little excited.
However Xu Qingnian shook his head and said.
“Don’t mess around, God knows if there are any problems.”
“Let’s go in first and take a look.”
Xu Qingnian vetoed it, he did not have his heart set on it, his purpose was clear, find the Demon Subduing God Stone first, the rest was all empty talk.
And he still couldn’t understand why the Martial Emperor had hidden so many treasures, it was unnecessary.
After all, could the Martial Emperor guarantee that the people who came in must be the people of Great Wei? Must it be the Crown Prince?
So there was something odd in this, so let’s go in first and see.
After hearing Xu Qingnian speak like this, Dan Shen Gu Jing also calmed down.
“It’s also true, this fellow Wu Di is very ghostly, it’s better to go in and take a look.”
Dan Shen Ancient Scripture also thought so.
At that moment.
Xu Qingnian walked towards the interior of the treasure vault.
Along the way, there were simply too many treasures that Xu Qingnian didn’t quite recognize, but such a terrifying aura could be felt.
“True dragon blood.”
“Little friend, this can’t be endured, hurry up and take it.”
The further one went inside, the better the treasures became, especially towards the end, a piece like a blood diamond surfaced, with a burst of dragon roar, it looked very impressive.
This was true dragon blood.
Dan Shen Gu Jing screamed with excitement and wanted to take it away straight away.
“Senior, don’t be fooled.”
Xu Qingnian grabbed the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture and held the other party down.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The Hao Ran Wen Zhong vibrated, and in an instant the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture was subdued by Xu Qingnian.
“True Dragon Blood, ah, it is hard to find in the world, little friend, do you really not care?”
Dan Shen Gu Jing was so anxious, he just couldn’t help himself.
“It’s hard to find in the world, why can the Martial Emperor find it?”
“These are all illusions, can’t senior think of anything?”
Xu Qingnian spoke, his tone certain.
When he first came in, he might have thought that these things were real, but the further back he went, the more Xu Qingnian felt that they were fake.
If he had so many good things, why didn’t he leave them for the development of the Great Wei Dynasty and bring them all here and hide them for others?
What was wrong with his brain?
But those who could become emperors, even if they were crowned with martial arts, could not be so stupid, so it could only prove that these were fakes.
“Ugh.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing sighed.
But after walking for a while longer, as a flower waned to the surface, the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture sat completely still.
“The Three Clear Dao Flowers,”
“Little friend, even if this thing is fake, you still have to bring it over, give this to old me, and I will immediately refine a First Grade Realm Breaking Pill for you.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing’s voice was incomparably excited as he tried to break free of the Haoran Wen Zhong, but unfortunately, the Haoran Wen Zhong was a holy weapon and was deadly suppressed.
“Senior, don’t be fooled.”
“These are fake at first glance, you have lived for so long, do you not even understand this?”
Xu Qingnian was a little helpless.
But he didn’t say much, it was good that he could suppress the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture anyway.
In reality, the only reason why Xu Qingnian was so calm was because of two reasons: one was that he was full of distrust towards the Martial Emperor, and the other was that he did not understand how good these things were.
There was no feeling at all.
It’s like when you go to a poor village and you take out a scroll of Qingming Shanghe Tu, how do people react? But you take out some gold and then see how people react?
Xu Qingnian knew that these things were good, but with a warning, he was not moved by them.
Because there wasn’t much feeling.
Soon, a scroll of paintings appeared, as well as some small volumes with saintly vignettes, the handwritten notes of saints.
Vast Qi filled the air, surging and heaving, as if it could revive a saint.
Such a sight made Xu Qingnian smack his lips.
Only Xu Qingnian cared even less, the more this happened the more certain he was that this was a false image.
If he dared to go and take it himself.
I was afraid that I would run into trouble at the first opportunity.
Finally.
After pa*sing through many more temptations, Xu Qingnian arrived at the deepest part of the treasure vault.
Deep in the treasure vault, on a stone platform, there were two items.
A book, as well as a stone seal with the word ‘Demon Suppression’ engraved on it.
The Demon Subduing Divine Stone.
Xu Qingnian’s eyes lit up and he walked quickly, looking extraordinarily excited.
Only when Xu Qingnian wanted to pick up the Demon Subduing Divine Stone, suddenly, the voice of the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture rang out.
“Aren’t you afraid that this is also a fake?”
The Dan God Ancient Scripture spoke out, somewhat unpleasantly.
He was indeed a little angry, after all, how could he not be angry when the same treasure pa*sed in front of him and he could not obtain it?
Seeing that Xu Qingnian wanted to obtain the Demon Subduing Divine Stone, Dan Shen Gu Jing could not help but say a word.
But once he said this, Xu Qingnian suddenly woke up.
Indeed.
The Dan God Ancient Scripture was right, this thing could also be a fake.
After all, the Demon Subduing Divine Stone was placed here purposely by the Martial Emperor in order to suppress the supernatural arts, which was very odd.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian dropped his gaze to the small booklet.
There was nothing written in the pamphlet.
Xu Qingnian stretched out his hand and picked up the booklet, and all of a sudden, everything around him turned into clouds of smoke.
In its place was a beam of light that appeared in front of Xu Qingnian.
The light was a human figure, but it was impossible to see his face.
“It’s the Martial Emperor.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing spoke directly as he instantly recognised this person as a Martial Emperor.
It was also at this moment that a voice rang out.
“Such a large number of treasures, I had not thought that you had not even moved, it seems that Er has not planned much.”
The Martial Emperor’s voice rang out, it was just a spirit body that he had left here.
Xu Qingnian did not open his mouth, but quietly looked at the other party, the spirit body had no meaning, and the words spoken were all once branded down, so there was no need to communicate.
“Unfortunately, in this treasure trove, I have laid a killing formation, within a quarter of an hour, drop blood into the stone platform, if you are of my Great Wei royal lineage, you can be spared death, or if you condense the Great Wei national fortune, you can also be spared death.”
Emperor Wu’s voice rang out again.
In an instant, killing intent filled the treasure vault.
This was a killing formation. The Martial Emperor was very direct, and had set up an illusion formation and a killing formation. If someone broke in and dared to take these treasures, they would directly trigger the killing formation.
Otherwise, they would be killed.
Xu Qingnian was relieved that he did not have the royal bloodline, but he really did have the Great Wei National Luck.
In a flash, Xu Qingnian struck out a national fortune.
At that moment, the stone platform sensed something and immediately buzzed.
Boom.
At this moment, the stone platform burst, Xu Qingnian took several steps backwards, and a stone seal and a map appeared in front of Xu Qingnian.
This was the real Demon Subduing Divine Stone, and as for what the map was, Xu Qingnian did not know.
At the same time, Emperor Wu’s voice rang out once again.
“You are able to possess the Great Wei’s national luck, so you obviously have a great connection with my Great Wei. Although I do not know who you are, I believe that someone who can carry the Great Wei’s national luck on his back has the pale life of the Great Wei at heart.”
“There are some things that I can tell you as well.”
“These two things, one is the Demon Subduing God’s Stone and the other is the complete map of the Central Continent Immortal Collection.”
“Back then, I made seven northern expeditions for this map, and among the rumours, the one who won the Central Continent Immortal Collection would win the world.”
“Back then, when I got the Immortal Treasure map, I also went to this place personally, but the place of the Immortal Treasure is incredibly dangerous, I personally entered and saw incredible things, since then, I became a bit eccentric, sometimes crazy, sometimes normal.”
“Only this demon suppressing divine stone can suppress the unknown, the secrets of the dust realm are hidden within the immortal hide, the future generations listen up.”
“To enter, one must reach the realm of the First Grade, and one must also invite a saint to truly enter the interior of the Immortal Collection, otherwise, whoever it is will be buried within the Immortal Collection.”
“If you win the Immortal Collection, you will indeed win the world, but you will also know some real secrets, so you must understand that there is a give and take.”
Emperor Wu’s voice was gradually weakening.
Xu Qingnian probably understood some things, but as to whether or not the Martial Emperor had cultivated foreign arts, he still did not understand.
“Remember, there is one more thing.”
“Behind the Great Wei, there is a person or a force hiding behind them, they are vainly trying to get the Central Continent Immortal Collection in another way, with a heavenly plan, you must pay attention, my death is directly related to them.”
“It is likely to be hidden among the Palace of Literature, you must remember that.”
“I have left some messages at the Little Thunder Sound Temple, future generations can go to the Little Thunder Sound Temple with the Demon Suppression Divine Stone, someone will naturally answer all this then.”
“The killing formation here has revived, move forward and a formation will take you away.”
The Martial Emperor’s voice grew weaker and weaker, and in the end his figure disappeared.
And in the middle of the treasure vault.
A murderous aura filled the air.
“Little friend, run, the formation has been touched and this place is going to destroy itself.”
Dan Shen Ancient Scripture spoke up, telling Xu Qingnian to leave quickly, these were the only two items within the treasure vault, and the formation would be automatically activated when they were taken away.
“Good.”
Xu Qingnian did not hesitate and moved directly towards the front.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qingnian arrived at the place of the formation.
In the next moment, he disappeared into the same place.
And in less than half a quarter of an hour, the secret realm collapsed into nothing.
Ping’an County.
South Wind Mountain.
Xu Qingnian stepped out from within the space and landed on the mountain.
The Demon Subduing Divine Stone was cupped in Xu Qingnian’s hand.
It was long and quadrangular, as black as ink, and emitted a slight coldness. When he cupped it in his hand, it did indeed calm his mind and the demon seed in his body was inexplicably at peace.
After incorporating the divine stone into his body, Xu Qingnian first unfolded the map of the Midcontinent Immortal Collection.
It was a map of the entire Central Continent, and the location of the Central Continent Immortal Treasure was in the centre, not in the territory of Great Wei.
“The Dragon’s Head Mountain Range?”
Looking at the map, Xu Qingnian found that the location of the Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure was in the middle of the Dragon’s Head Mountain Range, the exact location was not available and needed to be guided by the map.
“Little friend, cooperate a hand? I’ll do everything I can to let you break through to the first rank, let’s go to the Central Continent Immortal Collection and do a good job, I’m not greedy, the medicinal materials will go to me, everything else will go to you, how about that?”
At this moment, the voice of the Dan God Ancient Scripture rang out, tempting Xu Qingnian to go seek the Midcontinent Immortal Collection.
“No way.”
“First grade martial artists are of no use, Martial Emperors have all died in the Midcontinent Immortal Collection, there are great terrors within it, although junior is confident, he knows how to live within his means, this item is not destined for me for now.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, he was not stupid, he knew how much weight he had and did not fall for it.
In the next moment, Xu Qingnian hid the Midcontinent Immortal Hidden Map into his body.
“Alas, it’s also true, I didn’t expect that the Martial Emperor had actually been to the Midcontinent Immortal Collection, this guy actually didn’t take me with him, thanks to the fact that I still trust him so much.”
Dan Shen Ancient Scripture did understand Xu Qingnian’s caution, as strong as Martial Emperor, a first-grade strength, actually fell into the path.
What was Xu Qingnian worth?
“Alright, since you got what you wanted, I won’t say much more, if there’s anything you can do, you can call out to old me again.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing didn’t say anything more, after the matter was done, he intended to continue resting.
“Many thanks, senior.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, while the Dan God Ancient Scripture did not reply, but kept shrinking and hiding within his hair.
When the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture quieted down.
Xu Qingnian also did not think much about it and moved straight away.
Now that he had the Demon Subduing Divine Stone in hand, what he lacked was the Dragon Blood Yang Jade and the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus.
The Dragon Blood Jade was not in a hurry, it was in the Palace of Literature and would be in his possession when the Vermilion Saint recovered.
What is most important is the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus.
It was this object that was a little tricky.
But there was no rush, there was always a way to reach out to the Buddha Sect, the big deal was to make some sacrifices and trade with each other.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian headed to his teacher’s house.
Since they had all come to Ping’an County, plus the sudden visit yesterday, they had already shown their faces.
Now that the matter was settled, it was natural to pay a proper visit to one’s teacher.
And so it was.
In the blink of an eye, five days had pa*sed.
Xu Qingnian set off from the South Yu Province and headed for Kyoto.
During these five days, Xu Qingnian stayed at Zhou Ling’s house for three days, and Ping’an County was therefore abuzz with excitement.
No one expected that Xu Qingnian, the Half-Sage of the Great Wei, would return to his hometown in a low-profile manner, and as Xu Qingnian took the initiative to show himself, naturally the scholars from ten miles and eight villages, and even from the next capital, came to visit Xu Qingnian on purpose.
After three days of busy work, Xu Qingnian went to the South Yufu and met with Li Xin, who is after all one of his few close friends, and also paid a visit to Li Xin’s father.
The South Yufu governor had also helped him a lot and Xu Qingnian remembered it.
This time, Xu Qingnian also gave Li Xin some support and invited many talented scholars and scholars to a banquet.
The main thing was to inform the people of his relationship with Li Xin.
After everything was done.
Only then did Xu Qingnian set off for the capital.
Counting the time.
The Hao Ran dynasty’s founding ceremony was only two days away.
It was just in time to go back and deal with this matter.
At the same time.
Great Wei Imperial Palace.
Inside the Hall of the Nurturing Heart.
The empress sat high on the dragon chair, and on her highness, stood an old monk in a red robe.
“Old ca*sock Huizheng, pay my respects to Your Majesty of Great Wei.”
The old monk spoke and bowed towards the Empress.
This was one of the four divine monks of the Tianzhu Temple, Divine Monk Huizheng.
It was known under the heavens.
“Please do not salute.”
The Empress’s voice was calm, then silent.
Silence fell within the great hall at once.
Just as quickly, the voice of Divine Monk Huizheng slowly rang out.
“Your Majesty, now that the Palace of Literature has seceded from Great Wei and the Holy Will has disappeared, there is only fear that demons will come out across the territory of Great Wei and scourge the living.”
“Tianzhu Temple is willing to suppress the demons for Your Majesty and save the people of the earth from suffering, I hope Your Majesty will be mindful of the people of the earth and allow the Buddhist sect to enter Wei.”
Divine Monk Hui Zheng spoke.
Stating his intention.
