Black fog.
A black fog as thick as a mountain.
This was the first reaction to entering the Devil’s Domain.
The terrifying black fog makes it impossible to see everything in front of you.
In the middle of the Devil’s Domain.
Xu Qingnian sensed the area.
In the next moment, as the Three Devil Seals within him appeared, the surrounding devil Qi instantly and frantically entered Xu Qingnian’s body.
Soon, a large amount of devil Qi disappeared and was visible all around.
“These demonic Qi, haunting this place for hundreds of years, successive generations of the First Grade of Great Wei have suppressed it here, but I never thought that you would absorb all of this demonic Qi as soon as you arrived.”
Wu Ming was a little surprised.
He could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
They were here to suppress these demonic qi and prevent it from leaking, and there was nothing major wrong with the immortal corpse itself.
As long as it didn’t revive, it basically couldn’t affect anyone else.
But once these demonic qi leaked out, it would breed a large number of demonic creatures and most importantly would expose the location of the immortal corpse.
This was the reason for the suppression.
“After absorbing these demonic qi, there is no need to be suppressing it in the future, and Master and Uncle can enjoy their old age in peace.”
Xu Qingnian spoke indifferently.
However, Wu Ming shook his head, but he did not say anything more and led Xu Qingnian forward.
Soon.
The two of them walked forward for a short while.
A figure, then, appeared in Xu Qingnian’s eyes.
Not far away.
It was an immortal corpse.
Like a human, there was no difference, but the appearance was handsome, draped with long hair.
Demonic Qi filled the air around him, and a large amount of demonic Qi spread out from his body.
It was the devilish aura that had stained the Devil God by suppressing him in the first place.
So, rather than saying that this was an immortal corpse, it was more like a devil corpse.
The devilish qi was wrapped around the immortal corpse, like a seal, suppressing it.
As Xu Qingnian arrived, this immortal corpse did not move, appearing incomparably quiet.
He did not move.
Xu Qingnian was straightforward, he knew that the immortal corpse had no consciousness, it was an existence created by heaven and earth, responsible for exterminating the evil gods and suppressing the yin power of heaven and earth.
So if you want to wake up the immortal corpse, you have to sacrifice the Three Demon Seal.
“Master, please retreat for a moment.”
Xu Qingnian spoke up, asking his master to retreat, lest he encounter any danger.
Wu Ming did not hold back, he retreated backwards a hundred feet while activating the formations here to protect Xu Qingnian.
In an instant.
Xu Qingnian condensed the Three Demon Seals.
Also in an instant, the immortal corpse instantly reacted.
A roar.
A terrifying aura filled the air, a power like that of a Vermillion Saint.
To be more precise, this aura of power was even greater than that of a Vermillion Saint.
This was the will of heaven and earth.
All the formations were reduced to nothing in an instant, unable to stop the immortal corpse.
Even a wisp of breath was a heaven-destroying presence.
This was the immortal corpse.
It was the will of heaven and earth, and one simply could not stop it.
Xu Qingnian was unable to stop the roar of fury that resounded with invincible killing intent.
But at the critical moment, a jade pendant rose up and appeared in front of the immortal corpse, blocking this terrifying crisis.
This was the jade pendant that Zhou Ling had given himself.
It was the jade pendant of a great sage.
It was the will of the Great Sage, confronting the immortal corpse of the Central Continent.
In the end, after the jade pendant shattered, the immortal corpse gradually quieted down.
Xu Qingnian could not help but sigh with relief as he had almost escaped between life and death again.
However, it was at this moment.
When Xu Qingnian regained consciousness, the immortal corpse sitting in front of him was staring straight at him.
In an instant.
Xu Qingnian was quiet.
He did not speak, but looked at him quietly.
One man and one corpse stared at each other.
After an unknown amount of time, a magnificent voice rang out in Xu Qingnian’s mind.
“You have the Mark of the Fierce God inside you.”
“The great calamity started because of you.”
“It was the holy power that blocked it for you, otherwise you would have died for sure.”
A magnificent voice rang out.
It was the voice of an immortal corpse.
However, it was not the other party’s consciousness, but an instinctive reply.
Originally, Xu Qingnian should have died in his hands, but the power of the Great Sage appeared and counteracted the killing move for Xu Qingnian.
So the immortal corpse gave an answer.
“Senior, the Mark of the Fierce God in my body was planted and entered by someone, not of my junior’s own volition, so I implore senior to step in and remove the Mark of the Fierce God from my body.”
Xu Qingnian’s mind spoke, he knew that the other party was not conscious but answered instinctively, but instead of being disrespectful, he was humble and at the same time gathered his sub-sage power.
He hoped that the other party would understand his situation.
However, the latter simply said icily and incomparably.
“There are traces of the Fierce God within you, and this aura was not planted by another person, but by your own choice.”
“The Mark of the Fierce God cannot be detached, and from the very beginning, your choice has doomed everything.”
This was the Immortal Corpse’s reply.
It made Xu Qingnian a little resigned.
He understood what the other party meant.
The Fierce God’s Mark, referring to the Other Arts, and the Three Demon Marks were indeed planted within his body by someone, but the real reason was that it was because he had cultivated the Other Arts that the Three Demon Marks were able to enter his body so smoothly.
Otherwise, if I had not cultivated the supernatural arts, even if someone had wanted to plant the Three Demon Marks in my body, I would not have been able to do so.
It would have been impossible to do so.
As the immortal corpse had said.
Everything was his own choice, he had chosen this path from the very beginning, so it was reasonable to face such a result.
No matter how one explains it, if one has cultivated a foreign art, one has cultivated a foreign art.
One cause, one effect.
That is how it is.
“Dare I ask senior, is there any other way to resolve the demonic seal?”
“Can I become a saint?”
Xu Qingnian asked tentatively.
Could sainthood resolve the three devil marks within his body.
However, as soon as this was said, the immortal corpse’s response rang out once more.
“No.”
“The Mark of the Fierce God, added by the yin power of heaven and earth, will completely demonize you when the time comes, whether you want it to or not.”
“At that time, you will be the opportunity to resurrect the Three Fierce Gods, and no one can stop it.”
The immortal corpse’s reply caused Xu Qingnian to fall into an ice cellar.
He did not expect that the Fierce God Seal within his body would be so overbearing and terrifying, a chance to resurrect them.
“In other words, no matter what, I can’t change the future?”
“Unless I die?”
Xu Qingnian inquired.
“No.”
“Even if you die, it’s useless, the Mark of the Fierce God, already branded into your Yuan Shen, will still turn into a demon if you die.”
“It’s nothing more than awakening the Three Fierce Gods a little later.”
He gave his reply.
It left Xu Qingnian completely silent.
It was useless even if you died yourself, this was too counter-intuitive, right?
“Since death will also awaken the Fierce Gods, then why did you behead me?”
After a while, Xu Qingnian opened his mouth to ask.
This was unreasonable and he could not accept it.
“If I kill you, I can suppress your corpse for five hundred years, and within five hundred years, if no great sins of murder occur, it can be dissolved if two saints appear between heaven and earth.”
“This is the only way.”
The immortal corpse replied, stating the only solution.
“This is impossible, the probability of two saints appearing in a row within five hundred years in the past and present is almost equal to zero.”
“Senior, is there any other way?”
How was it possible for the town to be peaceful for five hundred years, and for two saints to come out?
Xu Qingnian shook his head and asked the other party if there was any other way.
“It is indeed difficult to give birth to two saints in five hundred years.”
“But at least it’s a thousand times better than the current turmoil.”
“However, there is indeed another way.”
The immortal corpse’s reply filled Xu Qingnian with joy.
He was curious as to what other way there was.
“Become a saint.”
The immortal corpse slowly replied.
This answer made Xu Qingnian frown, he had clearly asked the other party just now if sainthood had any effect, so why was it now brought up to sainthood.
Without waiting for Xu Qingnian to ask, the immortal corpse spoke directly.
“After becoming a saint, it will transform the heaven and earth and obliterate the mark of the Fierce God along with it, and thereafter for an epoch, the Fierce God will not be revived unless there is a great change in this heaven and earth.”
This was the immortal corpse’s reply.
After becoming a saint, he used the power of the supreme holy dao to become one with the heaven and earth and melt away the Mark of the Fierce God.
It was equivalent to dying together.
And it had to become a saint itself, otherwise, it would still be of no use.
“Is there any other way?”
Xu Qingnian was silent for close to a quarter of an hour, before he finally asked reluctantly if there could be any other way.
“There is no need to ask again.”
“There isn’t any other way.”
“Besides, I won’t let you leave here.”
“The will of the saints, which has only stopped me once, cannot stop me a second time.”
“If I behead you now and do my best, I might be able to suppress it for a thousand years.”
“If I let the Mark of the Fierce God reinforce it again, I am afraid that even if I behead you, I will only be able to suppress you for a few hundred years, not up to five hundred years.”
“You also have the power of the Holy Dao within you, and you have the Qi of heaven and earth. If you really care about the world, killing yourself here would be your best choice.”
“The fierce gods are resurrected, and no one can stop them between heaven and earth.”
“I, too, cannot stop them.”
The Immortal Corpse’s reply this time caused Xu Qingnian to fall into silence.
A complete and utter silence.
This was a dead end.
A dead end with almost no room for reversal.
He sat in silence in front of the Immortal Corpse.
Not a word was spoken.
One hour, three hours, six hours, one day.
Three days.
Five days.
Seven days.
The immortal corpse gave Xu Qingnian enough time, and perhaps he also understood that it was not easy to make a person kill himself.
A full seven days.
Xu Qingnian finally gave his reply.
“Senior’s method cannot completely dissolve the tribulation of the Fierce God, and there are still people outside, plotting against me.”
“Even if I die here, in a good way, delaying it for five hundred years, but if anything goes wrong, the Fierce God may be resurrected in a few decades.”
“Give me time, I can become a saint, and if there is really no room for error, I will make a choice.”
This was Xu Qingnian’s reply.
It was not that he feared death.
Rather, it was the Immortal Corpse’s plan, which was also unreliable.
But the immortal corpse shook its head.
“You can’t be given time, you can sense for yourself if the Mark of the Vicious God is eating away at your body.”
“You don’t have enough time left, and you still don’t have enough Saint Dao Qi in your body, if you want to become a Saint, you need at least hundreds of years.”
“There isn’t that much time.”
He did not show any mercy and directly stated Xu Qingnian’s current problem.
There wasn’t enough time.
“How long will it take for the Mark of the Fierce God within me to completely explode?”
Xu Qingnian inquired.
“Half a year.”
“Not even, not even half a year, I can’t be precise about the time, but if it’s quick, around three months.”
“The reason you didn’t notice it is because the power of the Holy Dao is suppressing it, along with public opinion.”
The immortal corpse replied.
“Half a year.”
Xu Qingnian was silent once more.
Only this time, he did not remain silent for too long, but looked at the immortal corpse and said incomparably serious.
“One can try.”
Xu Qingnian gave his answer.
He still wanted to give it a try, even if it was almost hopeless.
Looking back on his experiences over the past few years, which time was not a desperate turnaround?
He did not think he had been lucky every time.
But let him give up, he was unwilling to do so.
“It can’t be given.”
“I am saying all this to you in the hope that you will not die with resentment.”
“But you are still stubborn.”
“This time, you no longer have the Qi of the Holy Dao within you.”
“End it.”
Unfortunately, the immortal corpse was merciless, he did not give Xu Qingnian a single chance, and with a raised hand, it was a final kill.
He wanted to kill Xu Qingnian right here.
In order to eliminate future problems.
Xu Qingnian did not expect the immortal corpse to be so decisive, killing him as soon as he said so, leaving no room for error.
However, at that very moment.
The Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature in Xu Qingnian’s mind shook.
The Palace of Literature shook, and in an instant, several lights and shadows appeared, it was Chao Ge and the others.
They sacrificed the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature to block the Immortal Corpse’s attack.
“I have given the saints a chance.”
However, in the face of the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature, the Immortal Corpse was fearless, still raising his hand and evolving a black hole in his palm to destroy Xu Qingnian’s form and spirit.
He did not fear the power of the Great Sage, but only because the Great Sage had been gracious between Heaven and Earth, and was considered to have given the Sage a face.
And now, even if the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature appeared, he would not give a bit of face.
“Xiandi Shouren, steady your mind.”
At the critical moment, Chao Ge spoke up, telling Xu Qingnian to steady his mind and not to collapse.
Xu Qingnian did not say much and steadied his mind, not daring to make any rash moves.
He knew that if he couldn’t carry it, he would really die here.
And to the onlookers.
Xu Qingnian was just sitting with the immortal corpse, Wu Ming did not notice anything, he had been waiting in silence.
He did not know what was happening.
“Don’t struggle.”
“This is fate and karma, it cannot be reversed.”
The immortal corpse continued to speak, he was not trying to kill Xu Qingnian, but to use his own methods to guard heaven and earth.
“There is no result, everything is still uncertain, man will prevail.”
Xu Qingnian gave his answer.
This was his will.
Before anything came to fruition, nothing could be said, and man would prevail.
It was a pity that the power of a great sage could not stop an immortal corpse.
This is the will of heaven and earth.
It is the power of man’s invincibility.
But just in the nick of time, a figure appeared.
It was the figure of the Vermilion Saint.
As the power of Zhu Sheng appeared, it once again blocked the immortal corpse’s attack.
It wasn’t that instantaneous reversal, but at least it relieved a great deal of pressure.
“Another saint.”
Only, abruptly, the immortal corpse stopped, and instead of continuing his attack, he looked somewhat surprised.
Xu Qingnian had received the support of two saints.
In the dark, they all seemed to support Xu Qingnian.
Otherwise, at such a critical moment, they would not have appeared and blocked the will of heaven and earth.
Immortal corpses were the birth of the will of heaven and earth.
And a saint happened to be the part that controlled the will of heaven and earth.
With one saint, he could not give face.
But after the appearance of two saints, he had to ponder.
The terrifying aura disappeared.
Xu Qingnian was given a chance to catch his breath.
It was also at this moment that Chao Ge’s voice immediately rang out.
“Senior, Shouren is a sub-sage today, he is dedicated to Confucianism, his heart is set for heaven and earth, his life is set for the people, and he is favoured by the saints, I hope senior will look on the face of the two saints.”
“Give Shouren a chance, perhaps he can think of a way to break it.”
Chao Ge spoke up, requesting the immortal corpse not to target Xu Qingnian for the time being, giving Xu Qingnian enough time.
Hearing Chao Ge’s words.
The immortal corpse appeared silent.
However, he did seem to be hesitating.
About half an hour had pa*sed.
He finally spoke out.
“For the sake of the two saints who have imbued the power of the Holy Dao on you.”
“You can be given a chance.”
“But the time I can give you is not much, five months.”
“If you can become a saint within five months, you can indeed suppress the Mark of the Fierce God, and although the result cannot be reversed, at least you can solve many problems.”
“But within five months, if you cannot become a saint, even if five saints are resurrected, I will still behead you.”
The Immortal Corpse spoke, and instead of rushing to kill Xu Qingnian anymore, he gave Xu Qingnian five months of time.
Within five months, having become a Saint, Xu Qingnian would still be able to live for some more time, and if he did not become a Saint, he would still strike.
At that time, even if five saints resurrected at the same time to obstruct him, he would not show any mercy.
Receiving this reply, Xu Qingnian was a little weak, but still turned towards the other party and said gratefully.
“Many thanks, senior.”
“Senior, there is one more thing.”
“Someone wants to target me with the help of your hand.”
“This person wants to resurrect the Fierce God through blood sacrifice, so if senior encounters him, can he be suppressed, handed over to me, or put to death.”
Xu Qingnian was grateful to the other party, and at the same time, he said another thing.
Prince Yongping and the others had been waiting for him, and Xu Qingnian knew all about their plan, to revive the immortal corpse, let the immortal corpse sense the Three Demon Seals inside him, and then kill him.
This was their plan.
Naturally, Xu Qingnian had to make it clear at this time.
He knew that the immortal corpse would no longer strike at him, but what Xu Qingnian wanted even more was that if someone manipulated the immortal corpse, he would still expect the immortal corpse to kill him in return.
And as Xu Qingnian said this matter.
The immortal corpse, however, looked extremely calm.
“No one can control me, I was birthed from heaven and earth.”
“But someone did try to communicate with me, I think their plan was to revive me so that they could sense the Mark of the Fierce God within you.”
“These people I will keep an eye on.”
“But their plan is not to resurrect the Three Fierce Gods, they can’t resurrect the Fierce Gods.”
“They just want to resurrect the Demon Gods and have these Demon Gods slaughter the human race who possess a certain level of strength.”
“These Demon Gods want to resurrect the Fierce Gods, so there are many foolish people in the ancient and modern worlds who want to use the hands of the Demon Gods to eradicate dissenters.”
“There were times when they succeeded, but there were times when they almost revived the Three Fierce Gods, and all the ten thousand races almost died that time.”
The immortal corpse told a piece of history, and also revealed the secret of Prince Yongping.
This was their ultimate plan.
And as Xu Qingnian learned of it, he also understood it completely.
Earlier, he was also extremely curious as to what Prince Yongping and the others were trying to do. Resurrect the Three Fierce Gods and everyone would be buried.
Xu Qingnian also wondered, what made them think that they wouldn’t die?
Now all the truth was revealed.
Prince Yongping and the others were trying to resurrect the Demon God, and with the help of the Demon God’s hand, they would be able to kill the First Grade, Second Grade and Third Grade, and even the Fourth Grade martial artists.
If you can’t hide from the Fierce God, you still can’t hide from the hand of the Demon God?
They definitely had the means to defend themselves.
This is their true purpose, and it is in line with all logic.
To complete the great reshuffle.
“Understood.”
“If they do contact senior, I hope that senior will step in and suppress them, preferably leaving them alive.”
Xu Qingnian requested the immortal corpse.
The latter nodded without any hesitation.
“It’s fine.”
“They do deserve to die as well.”
The immortal corpse agreed down.
At that moment, Xu Qingnian got up and bowed towards the Immortal Corpse.
“There is no need to worship me.”
“Remember, you only have five months to live.”
“Once the time is up, no matter what reason you have or who helps you, I will not give you a chance.”
“If you become a saint, depending on the situation, I can delay the time.”
“But if you don’t become a saint, the karma has been set.”
These were the last words the immortal corpse said to Xu Qingnian.
Only, Xu Qingnian did not reply, but turned around and came before Wu Ming.
“How is it?”
Wu Ming spoke, and among his eyes was curiosity, asking Xu Qingnian how it had turned out.
Xu Qingnian had been sitting against the immortal corpse for so long, something must have happened, what exactly, he just didn’t know.
“Nothing serious for now.”
“You can do something at ease now.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, but did not inform Wu Ming of the exact matter.
He was afraid that Wu Ming would be worried.
“There are some things that need not be hidden from my master.”
Wu Ming spoke out, telling Xu Qingnian not to hide it from him.
But Xu Qingnian only shook his head before speaking.
“Master, how long do I meditate for?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
“It’s almost ten days.”
Ten days?
Inside the Devil’s Domain, Xu Qingnian counted the time, and there was still half a month before the Great Wei Parade.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian spoke.
“Master, you should go back to Great Wei.”
“My apprentice is going to the Western Continent, there is something to take care of.”
Xu Qingnian spoke.
Right now, there were two more enemies.
Prince Yongping and the divine monk Garan.
In reality, Xu Qingnian was more partial to three people.
Lu Sheng.
But he was already dead, dead in his own hands, and it could hardly have been him.
But no matter who it was.
He would have to liquidate them all, Prince Yongping need not worry, he would go and contact the immortal corpse.
The result was bound to be that he would throw himself into the net.
The Garan divine Monk was the person Xu Qingnian was going to settle.
But Xu Qingnian was not killing.
Rather, he was using other methods.
Wu Ming, who could not persuade Xu Qingnian of anything, eventually sighed as he left the Demon Domain with Xu Qingnian.
And then, Wu Ming returned to Great Wei.
Xu Qingnian went to the Western Continent.
And so it went.
Time pa*sed slowly.
In the blink of an eye.
Fourteen days had pa*sed.
The Great Wei Dynasty’s military parade was also getting closer and closer.
The whole of Wei’s capital had been transformed.
And all the amba*sadors from the various countries had arrived.
This time, Great Wei could indeed be described as a dynasty of ten thousand nations.
In addition to the few kings of countries that had not rebelled in the first place, there were also many kings, masters and princes from the other four continents.
They were curious about this parade of the Great Wei.
All countries were curious, they did not understand what Wei was doing with this parade.
After speculating for half a month, they finally came to the conclusion that Wei was demonstrating its national power and wanted to tell the world that it had risen to power.
The parade was used to shock the nations, to satisfy their vanity, and to take the initiative in future negotiations.
The smaller countries are silently studying and praying that one day they will be able to do the same.
It is not the same among the great powers, like the Sudden Evil and the First Yuan, who simply despise military parades.
In particular, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty believed that if Great Wei had not refined the First Grade Divine Martial Cannon one step ahead of time, it would not be Great Wei’s turn to show off its might here today.
After receiving the Divine Martial Cannon, the attitude of the two dynasties immediately changed.
In essence, whether it was Primordial Yuan or Sudden Evil, they were still rivals at heart and no real alliance existed.
But no matter what.
The Chuyuan and Sudden Evil dynasties had sent their two highest-ranking princes this time, higher than the princes who had previously come as amba*sadors.
They were princes who truly held military power.
On the one hand, it was the request of Great Wei, and on the other hand, it was also the decision of the two dynasties.
For some new thoughts had arisen in the two dynasties.
They thought that the Great Wei Dynasty had gone so far as to promise the major powers the Divine Martial Cannon at the same time.
This meant that Great Wei was hiding quite a few cards, making them both worried and joyful.
Since Great Wei was willing to give each of the major powers a Divine Martial Cannon, could the two dynasties continue to ask for more Divine Martial Cannons?
Although they did not understand where Great Wei got so many Divine Martial Cannons from.
But no matter what Wei thought, if they did have them, they would have to ask for more, not to lose out.
If they didn’t have them, it was no loss, they were just trying.
The Prince of Tusi and the Prince of Chu Yuan came to the capital seven days earlier and informed the Ministry of Rites of Wei of their intentions.
The general idea was that if Wei really had many divine cannons, they could share them with the two dynasties, and as for the other powers, the First Yuan Dynasty and the Tusi Dynasty were willing to help Wei solve these problems.
However, the reply from the Ministry of Rites of Great Wei left them somewhat baffled.
The Ministry of Rites didn’t refuse, but didn’t promise either, it just smiled and said that we would talk about it after the military parade.
The Imperial Palace of Great Wei.
Tomorrow is the military parade.
Inside the Hall of the Cultivated Heart.
Ji Ling looked out of the hall from time to time. Tens of days ago, when she learned that Xu Qingnian was safe and sound, she couldn’t help but rejoice.
However, it had been tens of days, but Xu Qingnian had not yet returned. Tomorrow was the military parade, but Xu Qingnian had not returned, which made her a bit disturbed.
In the end, it was late into the night, but Xu Qingnian was still nowhere to be seen.
In three hours’ time, the parade would begin.
And at the same time.
Western Continent.
Inside the Tianzhu Temple.
The divine monk Garan looked very calm as he struck his wooden fish.
And just at that moment.
A figure slowly appeared.
It was the figure of Hui Jue.
Seeing this figure appear, the divine monk Garan did not have a single ripple, but continued to pound the wooden fish.
Without saying a word, Hui Jue came to meditate in front of the Garan divine Monk.
After an hour had pa*sed.
The divine monk Garan did not continue to pound the wooden fish anymore.
His mind could no longer be stilled.
“It was Xu Qingnian who asked you to come.”
Divine Monk Garan opened his mouth and said with a lowered brow.
Hui Jue did not reply, but instead pounded on the wooden fish.
“For the Master, it is for the Buddhist sect.”
“Even though I am in hell, I have no regrets.”
The divine monk Garan spoke.
At this point in time, he still thought he was right.
Hui Jue didn’t say a word, and still struck up the wooden fish.
Eventually.
Huijue, who had been pounding the wooden fish for an hour, finally spoke.
“The World Honoured One said.”
“After today, Master will pa*s away, so let me come and see Master off for the last time.”
Huijue’s voice was slightly calm, but these words were full of different meanings.
“Did he ask you to kill me?”
The divine monk Garan asked calmly, he did not fear death, he just wanted to do more for the Buddhist sect.
“No.”
“His Holiness said that you yourself would come full circle.”
“After today.”
Hui Jue shook his head.
For a moment, the sacred monk of Garan was silent.
Pa*sing away today?
He did not believe it.
But after thinking about it, he didn’t say anything more, but continued to strike the wooden fish.
Meanwhile.
In the twinkling of an eye, another two hours pa*sed.
Finally.
The Great Wei Dynasty’s military parade had also begun.
Toot.
The dull and long sound of trumpets rang out in unison.
Throughout the whole of Great Wei’s capital, such sounds were heard from all directions, causing the whole city to boil.
The next moment.
On the viewing platform, the Empress of Great Wei appeared, and in an instant countless courtiers and people knelt on the ground, shouting Long Live Your Majesty.
As the salutations were excused and uttered, the courtiers and people rose to their feet.
Immediately afterwards, the amba*sadors from various countries also gradually appeared and settled to the left and right, about seven feet away from the empress.
The amba*sadors from all the countries were not impressed, as they first bowed towards the Empress of Wei and then settled down, looking incomparably calm.
As far as they were concerned, this was nothing more than a show-off by the Great Wei Dynasty.
Although there was some jealousy, it was only jealousy.
The major powers of the four continents, on the other hand, hoped that this parade would end quickly, and once it was over, they could ask for the Divine Martial Cannon from Great Wei.
These days, they have been going to see the Divine Martial Artillery every now and then, and no matter how many times they have seen it, they have been overwhelmed.
So they were looking forward to the parade ending soon.
At this moment.
With a wave of Ji Ling’s hand, at that moment Chen Zhengru began to give orders.
This was accompanied by another burst of trumpeting.
Finally, the parade officially began.
For this parade, the Ministry of Works was so ruthless that they made a huge aisle, which was wide enough to allow 108 horses to run parallel without being crowded.
As the trumpets sounded.
Accompanied by a burst of footsteps.
The Great Wei generals marched out.
The Qilin Army, the Xuanwu Army, the Great Desolate Army, the Tianzi Army, and so on appeared one after another.
First came the infantry, then the cavalry.
The scene was so huge that the people of Kyoto, and the people of all countries, felt an unparalleled shock.
It was a shock to the people.
Compared to the princes of the countries and the heads of the imperial clans, they appeared calm.
After all, they could have done it for silver, and they could have done it too, but it was unnecessary and a pure waste of silver.
Therefore, to them, it seemed a bit boring.
If they hadn’t been in the way of saving face, they would have already retired early.
About half an hour later.
Just when the amba*sadors from all the countries were getting a bit bored.
A voice suddenly broke the silence.
“Look guys, that’s the Divine Martial Cannon.”
As this voice rang out, the major powers of the five continents could not help but look at each other, except for the princes of the Sudden Evil and Primordial Yuan Dynasties who did not look.
Most of their gazes were locked on the Divine Martial Cannon.
They had not obtained it, so naturally they were obsessed with the Divine Martial Cannon.
By bringing out the Divine Martial Cannon for parade, many people actually guessed that militarily Great Wei’s bottom line came from the Divine Martial Cannon.
So Prince Tuzi and Prince Chu Yuan did not care.
They even planned to get up and leave.
The Divine Martial Cannon was definitely the grand finale, so as soon as it appeared, it also meant that the parade was almost over.
But the next moment, a burst of screams and commotion rang out.
“Hiss, no way, no way, how could there be so many Divine Martial Cannons?”
“What? How can there be so many Divine Martial Cannons?”
“Ten, thirty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, two hundred and seven, three hundred and two, four hundred and five.”
“Where did the Great Wei get so many Divine Martial Cannons? Didn’t they say that the Divine Martial Cannon was made of the highest quality spirit gold? Is it hard to find?”
“Hiss, seven hundred Divine Martial Cannons now.”
“No, no, not seven hundred Divine Martial Cannons.”
The voices were getting louder and louder, and the tone was getting filled with shock and panic.
This moment.
Prince Tui Xie and Prince Chu Yuan were also completely unable to sit still.
They got up and looked.
They only saw that on the straight avenue, a divine Martial Cannon appeared in their eyes.
Each Divine Martial Cannon appeared to shine in gold under the sun.
At a glance, there seemed to be thousands of Divine Martial Cannons, looking extremely terrifying and dazzling.
Moreover, each of the Divine Martial Cannons gave off a terrifying aura.
This was a Divine Martial Cannon, it couldn’t be faked.
“This can’t be.”
“Twelve hundred doors.”
“No, it’s thirteen hundred doors.”
“Fifteen hundred doors.”
“Fifteen hundred Divine Martial Cannons?”
“What is Great Wei trying to do here?”
In almost a quarter of an hour, fifteen hundred Divine Martial Cannons appeared in the eyes of the crowd.
The terrifying number stimulated everyone present.
Even the Great Wei officials were completely dumbfounded.
Earlier, Xu Qingnian had said that there were only one thousand cannons.
But unexpectedly, Xu Qingnian had still hidden a hand.
One thousand five hundred doors.
That was half the amount.
What kind of concept is this?
Previously, they were thinking of putting 150 gates at the border and leaving 400 gates within the court.
Now the borders could be completely set up with two hundred and fifty cannons, so there was no need to worry about any problems at all.
With so many Divine Martial Artillery cannons, it would be enough to level the five continents several times.
Shock.
The world was shocked.
No one had expected that this parade by the Great Wei would be for this purpose.
At this moment, Prince Tuzi and Prince Chuyuan completely understood why Wei had told them to wait.
Everything had to wait until the parade was over.
One thousand five hundred divine martial artillery pieces.
This meant that Great Wei had the qualifications to sweep the world.
Moreover, all this time, before the parade, Great Wei had constantly demonstrated the power of the Divine Martial Cannon.
As a result, word of mouth spread, and now who in all the kingdoms did not know how terrifying the Divine Martial Artillery was?
Even the power of the Divine Martial Artillery was becoming more and more fierce, from the common people down to the nobles of all countries, they all knew that the Divine Martial Artillery had the power to destroy the sky and the earth.
In this way, anyone who dares to provoke the Great Wei will not face the problem of food and fodder, but the problem of military and public confidence.
This is a total downgrade.
In the eyes of the people, the Divine Martial Artillery is invincible, and in the eyes of the generals, the Divine Martial Artillery is better than a million soldiers.
They would be happy if their own country had a divine martial artillery.
But if they were to learn that their opponents had 1,500 Divine Martial Artillery pieces.
Then all that was left was despair.
Shock.
Everyone was silent.
Fifteen hundred divine Cannons.
Everyone’s mind went blank.
In the end, the cheers rang out, the cheers of the people of Great Wei.
At this moment, they also understood why Great Wei had traded the Divine Martial Cannons over.
Great Wei had 1,500 Divine Martial Cannons, so giving away a few of them in exchange for sky-high prices of gold and supplies was not a sound that would lose money.
And the nations completely understood why Great Wei was willing to trade with the Sudden Evil and the First Yuan.
Who wouldn’t trade this?
The two fools, still thinking they had suppressed Great Wei.
Little did they know that they were being teased by Great Wei as if they were fools.
What is it to give each of them a Divine Martial Cannon?
What would be the point of giving two cannons to each of the 1,500 divine weapons cannons of Great Wei?
It would be meaningless to the two dynasties.
You still want to negotiate with Wei?
Dream on.
How much of an impact can two of your cannons have?
If they aimed 1,500 Divine Constellation cannons at your gates, in a quarter of an hour’s time, the Sudden Evil would be gone.
But soon, something happened that made everyone completely silent.
With the appearance of fifteen hundred Divine Martial Cannons.
Two hundred more Heavenly God Cannons appeared.
Immortal Gold Cannons appeared and immediately some people could see the difference.
Some people could instantly tell that it was extremely high quality immortal gold.
It was better than spirit gold.
At this moment, the representatives of the powers of the nations were completely numb.
They were numb.
No matter what, they had never thought that, leaving aside the fifteen hundred divine Martial Cannons.
Surprisingly, there were still two hundred cannons that were refined from extremely fine immortal gold.
This was simply unbelievable.
It was astonishing.
It was also despairing.
But, the real despair soon came.
With the appearance of ten Heavenly God Cannons.
People realised even more that this was the ultimate killing weapon of Great Wei.
The number was not large.
Only ten.
But these ten gave people the feeling as if they were superior to the fifteen hundred Divine Martial Cannons that preceded them.
Quiet.
Quiet.
A complete and utter silence.
The entire parade site was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
It was so eerie.
They knew that Great Wei was hiding something. Many guessed that Great Wei had 30 or 50 divine martial artillery pieces, others guessed a hundred.
But the Great Powers guessed no more than twenty.
Now, the results were in.
One thousand seven hundred and ten cannons.
A complete and utter crushing of everything.
“The parade ceremony is over.”
“His Majesty has decreed.”
“From today onwards, a feast will be held for ten days in Kyoto for the pleasure of the subjects and the people.”
A full little half an hour later.
With a shrill and unmistakable voice sounded.
It was announced that the parade was over.
The next moment, the empress rose and left.
And the amba*sadors of the nations sat completely still.
They sent letters one after another, informing back what they had seen.
In a flash, countless news spread throughout Kyoto.
The people were also spreading the news by word of mouth.
In less than an hour, word of the parade, which had shocked the world, was completely spread.
Sudden Evil Dynasty.
The great hall was silent.
No one believed that Great Wei would have such a large number of divine martial artillery, but letters from all sides had shown that it was true.
One person might be wrong, or might be bribed, but news from all sides, news from all directions, all confirmed that Great Wei had over seventeen hundred Divine Martial Cannons.
And these Divine Martial Cannons, which were also placed on the main road for people to see, guarded by the First Grade of Great Wei, were plainly there for some people to see, lest they should not believe.
“Sudden evil!”
“Thoroughly defeated.”
For a full hour, the Great Emperor of Sudden Evil sat on his dragon chair lost in thought.
The confidence among his eyes dissipated completely.
When the news was confirmed.
He also completely understood the Great Wei’s plan.
Using the Divine Martial Artillery, he had tricked the Tusi Dynasty into signing all sorts of terms.
Now that the parade was over and Great Wei had revealed their cards, it meant that they had to abide by these terms.
Each and every clause was a cannibalistic one.
They were signed with the full intention of reneging on their debts.
At most, they would honour them for three or five years.
But now he understood that they could not renege.
If they dared to renege, the people of Tusi would not agree to it, not to mention the pressure exerted by the Great Wei.
They were also afraid of the divine martial artillery.
And as an emperor.
He understands that it is impossible for them to take over the Central Continent.
Right now, even if a war was launched, I am afraid that no one would be willing to go.
Who would dare to go to a war with 1,700 Divine Martial Cannons?
Before Wei revealed its cards, at least it was known that it was strong, but it was also known that there were not many Great Wei Divine Martial Cannons.
But now it was different.
For the past few months, the thing that has been discussed in every part of the world is the Divine Martial Cannon.
The power of the cannon was already known to everyone.
If one were to declare war on Great Wei now, even if all the powers of the five continents combined and declared war, it was probably not enough to kill them.
Moreover, it is unlikely that all the powers of the five continents would be united in their opinion.
It’s not like Great Wei has committed any heinous crimes.
It’s just a matter of asking for money.
One did not kill your people, the other did not humiliate your country, so why did you declare war?
So, the Great Emperor of Tusi understands.
After today’s military parade.
In the Middle Continent, it looks like there are three great kingdoms.
In reality, there is only one left.
Under the terms signed with the Great Wei, the Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty will definitely retire from the stage of history.
If they were unlucky.
They might be completely extinguished.
It is no longer a question of whether to fight or not, it is a question of the world not daring to fight with Great Wei. If anyone dares to speak up and say fight, someone will naturally teach them a lesson without the need for Great Wei to do so, thus pleasing Great Wei.
Likewise.
The same happened to the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
The same happened in the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.
Only, the Primordial Yuan Emperor was much less mentally strong than the Sudden Evil Emperor.
He pa*sed out on the spot.
Not fainted from fear, but a kind of numbness.
After the two dynasties had calmed down and deliberated for several hours, they finally wrote a secret letter and handed it to Great Wei.
The general content of the letter was that they wished to change the terms and conditions they had signed before, and if possible, the two dynasties were willing to take the lead of Great Wei.
This was the last word from the two dynasties.
The terms they had signed before were extremely harsh, and at the time they were simply trying to renege on their debt, thinking that they would not honour it anyway, so they could sign anything.
Now Wei has shown its true strength, forcing them to take this matter seriously.
Otherwise, the two dynasties would be in irreconcilable civil strife within ten years without the need for Wei’s intervention.
Secret letters from the two dynasties were sent to Great Wei.
All this was within Xu Qingnian’s expectations.
Without any hesitation, the empress agreed to the two dynasties’ demands according to the plan Xu Qingnian had left behind, and Great Wei did not want civil unrest between the two dynasties.
However, there was one requirement: within three months, the emperors of the two dynasties must abdicate and take care of themselves, and must not participate in political affairs.
Otherwise, no deal.
The message was pa*sed back.
The two emperors were so furious that they jumped into a thunderstorm.
But in the end, they agreed in humiliation.
Now they did not have the capital to be bolder.
But even more unlucky were the major powers of the five continents, with whom Great Wei had signed a deal and given all the gold supplies, but they had not expected that Great Wei had 1,700 Divine Martial Cannons.
Moreover, the Divine Martial Artillery given to them by Great Wei had been identified by a blood drop, in other words, the Divine Martial Artillery could be given to them, and the control was in the hands of Great Wei.
The amba*sadors of the countries certainly did not agree.
But when they were brought to the main parade path by the Ministry of Rites in a very friendly manner, and looked at the 1,700 Divine Warrior Cannons, they had no choice but to say yes.
And at that moment.
West China.
When news of the parade reached the Western Continent.
Inside the Tianzhu Temple.
When the divine monk Garan listened to the news from the monks.
There was complete silence.
Looking at Huijue in front of him.
He also understood completely why Xu Qingnian had said that he would pa*s away today.
One thousand seven hundred divine martial artillery pieces.
A parade that shocked the world.
It directly caused the two great dynasties to despair and completely silenced the world.
Because for the major powers of the world, they had a common enemy.
That was the Great Wei.
Killing each other had become a complete joke.
And Great Wei had shown, again, unparalleled military power.
Let alone the five continents, even if there were twice as many of them, they would be redundant in the face of the destruction of the Divine Martial Artillery.
His plan with Prince Yongping came to an end.
“Why didn’t Xu Qingnian come to give Lao Di a ride?”
The divine monk Garan spoke.
He thoroughly understood the meaning of Xu Qingnian’s words.
At the same time, he was also very curious as to why Xu Qingnian did not come to give himself a ride.
“His Holiness is waiting for Prince Yongping.”
“He said that if there is no accident, Prince Yongping will pa*s away together with you.”
Hui Jue spoke indifferently.
The person in front of him was his master, though.
But after Xu Qingnian had found him and informed him of what the divine monk Garan had done, he understood that his master had already gone into demons.
It was useless to persuade.
The only best option was to let him dissolve his own demons and transcend himself.
That is why he came in person.
“He is still too young.”
The divine monk Garan opened his mouth, and was just about to say a few words when Hui Jue directly interrupted him.
“Master.”
“His Holiness has seen the immortal corpse, and it was the two saints who protected him.”
“Your plan has been completely foiled.”
Hui Jue spoke out directly, telling the other party not to have expectations.
Since he was able to come, he had proved that he was prepared for everything.
Sure enough.
With this statement.
The Garan divine Monk was completely and utterly silent.
The words had come to this point.
He let out a long sigh.
“After all, it’s a bamboo basket.”
“What else does he have for you to ask? Ask away.”
At this moment, the Garan divine Monk aged rapidly, knowing that his qi had run out and that he no longer had the strength to fight.
But he also knew that Xu Qingnian must still have doubts.
“His Holiness has asked my disciple to ask Master.”
“Is Lu Sheng dead or not.”
Hui Jue spoke up and asked so.
“Dead.”
“He is indeed dead.”
“However, I am also curious, he is very mysterious, I don’t think he would die so easily.”
“He was the start of it all.”
“Tell Xu Qingnian to be as careful as possible.”
Speaking of which.
The Garan divine Monk didn’t babble anything.
He had already been defeated.
There would be no more chaos under the heavens.
Naturally, his plan would not succeed either.
Prince Yongping wanted to solve Xu Qingnian through the immortal corpse, but he did not expect Xu Qingnian to be so bold as to take the initiative to find the immortal corpse.
All of his plans.
All of them were defeated by Xu Qingnian once again.
Therefore, he had nothing more to say.
In a flash.
Karmic fire filled the surroundings of the Garan divine Monk.
He was here to pa*s away.
The divine monk Hui Jue did not speak, but only watched in silence. Finally, when the divine monk Garan was completely extinguished in ashes, he folded his hands and said Amitabha Buddha.
He then slowly disappeared into the Tianzhu Temple.
And at the same time.
Outside the Devil’s Domain.
Prince Yongping’s figure appeared here.
As the former Crown Prince, Prince Yongping knew where the Devil’s Domain was.
And the Three Demon Seals were what he had obtained when he first learned of the blood sacrifice method.
It was the only way for him to bring down Xu Qingnian.
The 1,700 Divine Martial Cannons had made him completely desperate.
He had never counted that Xu Qingnian would be able to bring so many Divine Martial Cannons.
It utterly and completely made him despair.
Therefore, he could only use this move, and if this move was still useless.
Then, his last resort was to completely resurrect the Three Fierce Gods.
Although the process was difficult and he himself did not even know if he could succeed, this was their last resort.
The next moment.
Prince Yongping didn’t say anything as he condensed his seal, and then the Gate of the Demonic Domain appeared.
In the next moment, Prince Yongping walked into the Demon Domain.
He disappeared without a trace.
However, in less than a quarter of an hour.
When Prince Yongping appeared in the Demon Domain, a figure slowly appeared in front of him.
It was the Immortal Corpse.
In an instant, Prince Yongping froze.
He looked at the immortal corpse in front of him in some silence.
This was the first time he had ever seen an immortal corpse.
“Seniors.”
Prince Yongping spoke tentatively.
However, the immortal corpse sensed the aura on him at first.
“You want to resurrect the Demon God.”
The immortal corpse spoke, and the first words spoke through him.
“Senior, you have misunderstood.”
Prince Yongping wanted to explain, but the next moment, he was directly grabbed by the immortal corpse.
“There is no need to explain.”
“Wait for him to deal with it.”
The immortal corpse spoke, and without any nonsense, he directly suppressed Prince Yongping.
The latter was completely dumbfounded.
He had not expected that he had come to ask for help.
But to his surprise, he was directly suppressed by the immortal corpse.
And, who would wait to deal with it?
Prince Yongping was silent, he was suppressed and could not say anything at all.
Only.
Xu Qingnian appeared.
