"Yunyun, what did you sense? Is there any change at Xisheng?"
When Chu Yunyun paused his practice, Su Fengdao, who was sitting nearby, immediately sensed it and opened his eyes and looked towards Chu Yunyun.
She knew that there was a strange telepathy between the two couples.
"yes!"
Chu Yunyun said succinctly and comprehensively: "Xisheng has completed his promotion and has reached the second level! There should be many more heavenly rules engravings to be completed in the future, but the problem should not be big. He has passed the most difficult level."
Chu Yunyun's words made everyone in the 'Thunderbolt Universe Light Shuttle' wake up from their trance, and became very excited about it.
"Xisheng has been promoted?"
There was a bit of surprise in Yan Guilai's eyes, and he sighed with emotion: "Junior Brother Chu is really amazing. With so many gods paying attention and so many gods descending into incarnations, he was still promoted to the second level. .”
Lu Shouyang also nodded with deep approval: "It is indeed powerful. I used to be worried about my junior brother. He is so sharp that he is not only deeply feared by the four sacred mountains in the north, but also paid attention to by many powerful gods. He wants to advance to the martial arts body. It is more difficult than others. Ten times? I'm afraid it's even more than a hundred times. I didn't expect that Junior Brother Chu still broke the situation."
"Junior brother Chu is so domineering! The power of his bloodline is even greater than that of Lord Xue Yaidao."
Ao Guo was also lamenting: "Once he is promoted to the second level, his combat power will actually be superior to that of the Sword Master of the past."
Su Fengdao shook his head: "He is much stronger than Dao Lord now. In the past, Dao Lord was only weak in his physical body and could not condense the innate divine body. I hope he does not have this problem and can take this step calmly. I I have never seen a martial artist like Xi Sheng, who has no flaws in his body."
Her voice immediately paused: "But the engraving of the Heavenly Rules that follows is still very important. Xisheng is very ambitious. It is the first time that he has engraven the soul mark in the Heavenly Rules. He probably wants to embed more Heavenly Rules. , I don’t know if Xi Sheng can hold on.”
"This is the first time, it is very important." Yan Guilai crossed his arms and looked forward to it: "Xisheng is also a multi-disciplinary practitioner. The more heavenly seals he burns for the first time, the better his future path will be. The smoother it gets.
He finally engraved Chaos, Yazhu, Zhutian, and Ruyi on them. This was the most critical first time. In the future, he could increase the strength of the Heavenly Rules by one or two levels, but don't let those giant spirits spoil his good fortune. "
When Chu Yunyun heard what Senior Brother Yan said, she felt inexplicably unhappy and depressed.
Her fists were clenched tightly without even realizing it.
Fortunately, Zhi Feizi, the chief elder of the Magic Academy, interjected: "I think there is no problem. Chu Xisheng controls 12 million ants. His combat power is comparable to that of the gods. Those gods will not fight him head-on in this situation." . If I were them, I would do whatever it takes to get those big Luo ants out of trouble. This is the best way to solve the problem."
He immediately changed the topic: "Sir Sect Master, when do we need to take action? It has been less than five days since the flowers bloomed, and now Buzhou Mountain and Tiandi Mountain have taken away the manpower stationed at the 'Source of Chaos' More than half. The eyes of the gods are also on Junior Brother Chu. If we want to take action, now is the right time."
Mainly because they, the magicians, need to complete the formation before the flowers bloom.
This formation is extremely complex and cannot tolerate mistakes. The pressure on their Magic Academy is quite heavy.
Li Changsheng sat beside him with his eyes closed and cross-legged.
Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said, "Don't we still need five more days? Junior Brother Zhifeizi, please be more patient. If we have no choice, Old Mother Lishan will take action to help us delay the flowering time."
Li Changsheng then looked at the sky again: "Xisheng hasn't given us the signal to take action yet. I guess now is not the time he wants."
Everyone in the shuttle couldn't help but look at each other.
They all had the same doubt in their hearts, what exactly did Chu Xisheng want?
It is impossible for Chu Xisheng to directly break through to the first level now.
He has to adapt to his physical body, accumulate true energy, and strengthen his physical body, which all takes a certain amount of time.
Chu Xisheng still needs to pass the second level.
Although this level is relatively easy.
As is known to the world, Chu Xisheng has completed the extremely powerful Chaos Mystery Ritual, and there is no need to rely on the corresponding Mystery Ritual to improve his body when taking the secret medicine.
But no matter how fast his cultivation speed is, it will always take three to five months, right?
In particular, Chu Xisheng is a multi-disciplinary student. If he wants to handle the details of all aspects of Kung Fu, it might take more than half a year.
So what is Chu Xisheng's purpose in seeking the 'Yuanxinhua'?
Only Chu Yunyun had known about Chu Xisheng’s plan.
She looked ahead in the distance, thinking that now was not the best time.
The eyes of the gods have not been completely diverted.
What Chu Xisheng wanted to do still had the risk of being exposed.
※※※※
Two hours later, in Huaiyin County, Huaizhou, far away in China.
Huaiyin County is located on the south bank of the Tianhuai River, at the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Tianhuai River.
The terrain here is difficult, water and land transportation is difficult to control, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles away. Therefore, it has always been a battleground for military strategists.
At this time, at several docks in Huaiyin County, a large number of soldiers wearing black clothes and armor landed from ships.
Between the road and the fields, there was also a darkness of Daning soldiers.
There were tens of thousands of them, all wearing helmets and marching in neat steps. The impact of armor plates and the sound of footsteps intertwined, making a roaring sound. The ground trembled slightly, and the momentum was amazing.
Emperor Jianyuan was sitting in the chariot of the Chinese army.
He looked at the letter talisman in his hand that was sent back from a distance of 1.8 million miles by the royal guards with the help of top secret techniques, and his face was as solemn as iron.
"So these gods still failed? In other words, it is a foregone conclusion that Chu Xisheng will be promoted to the second level?"
Emperor Jianyuan went on a personal expedition, which was why he stationed troops in the north of Tianhuai River for more than half a month.
On the one hand, the generals of the Iron Banner Gang were very capable and used the water and terrain to firmly block his army in Hebei; on the other hand, he intended to lure the enemy and continued to exert pressure on the entire upper and lower reaches of the Tianhuai River. They forced the Iron Banner Gang to send their five million main army to resist on the south bank of the Tianhuai River.
Emperor Jianyuan was prepared to wipe out the main force of the Iron Banner Gang in the next decisive battle and make the final decision before Chu Xisheng returned.
Finally, it was to wait for Chu Xisheng to be promoted to the second rank.
According to the information he obtained, although Chu Xisheng had obtained extremely powerful power with the help of the 12 million Da Luo ants.
However, the gods paid him more attention than ever.
He never thought that he would be waiting for such bad news.
Emperor Jianyuan wanted to scold these gods as useless for a moment, but in the end he stopped thinking about it.
If these gods are useless, then what are they mortals?
And in the past, Daning was not able to stop Chu Xisheng from being promoted to the third rank.
"Based on the information conveyed by Jinyiwei, Chu Xishenggong has indeed been promoted to the second level."
National Master Yu Kunlun thought thoughtfully: "It seems that we still have to re-evaluate his strength. He can open the boundaries of mortal gods and can maintain it for more than an hour. It means that his hegemonic body, bloodline, and heavenly rules have all reached the level of The extremely powerful level has already surpassed that of the former Bloody Sword Lord."
But his mood was very complicated.
On the one hand, Chu Xisheng was successfully promoted to the second level, and the human race had another pillar master, which made him very happy.
The meaning of divine will touching the death knife is different.
The more enemies Chu Xisheng has, the stronger his combat power will be.
In the future, if a divine war breaks out between the human and dragon clans and the gods, this person can be worth millions of divine armies.
On the one hand, I am worried about the current situation.
For Daning now, Chu Xisheng's promotion to the second rank is not good news.
According to the intelligence, Chu Xisheng has already mastered the Divine Will Touch Death Knife, and he does not stick to the stereotypes of his predecessors, and has become better than his predecessors.
After entering the second level, Chu Xisheng's combat power will surely surge again.
pity!
It's a pity that he couldn't predict this scene twenty years ago.
So much so that these heroes of the human race could not join hands with him and have no power to work together.
If time could be turned back, then he would definitely give everything he had to help the Infinite Sword Lord complete the unity of yin and yang.
"That's it!"
Emperor Jianyuan was upset and waved his hand: "The promotion is unstoppable, but he will definitely not be able to come back in a short time, right?"
The divine arts, spells and bloodline magical powers in this world were all extremely miraculous. What Emperor Jianyuan was most worried about was that during the war, Chu Xisheng directly traveled nearly two million miles back to China.
He estimated that Chu Xisheng would not give up the 12 million ants easily.
But who can say for sure?
Once the Iron Banner Gang's situation becomes tense, it's hard to tell what choice Chu Xisheng will make.
Judging from Chu Xisheng's past experience, this son should be a person who values love and justice, at least on the surface.
He shouldn't sit back and watch his subordinates' defeat.
Therefore, twenty days ago, Emperor Jianyuan did not dare to cross the river rashly even though he knew that Chu Xisheng's purpose of going north might be to be promoted to the second rank.
Emperor Jianyuan knew that he was a ruthless and unrighteous person, so it was sometimes difficult for him to understand the thoughts and actions of those with rich emotions.
But it doesn't matter if you can't understand it. Just assume everything with the greatest malice and anticipate the worst possibility. The final result will not be biased.
"yes!"
Yu Kunlun put away his distracting thoughts and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Chu Xisheng has practiced many disciplines and has reached a very high level. I predict that he will try his best to engrave more heavenly rules when he is promoted to the martial arts body. I I heard that the more Heavenly Rules engraved by a second-grade martial artist, the more complex the Heavenly Rules are, and the further they go, the more difficult it becomes, so he needs to stay in place for at least two or three days."
He then paused and said in a solemn voice: "Once the Iron Flag Gang's situation becomes tense, he may give up recording the rules and return directly. However, Ying Gou and I have made preparations to stop him and the Wuxiang Divine Sect. It is expected that we can He stayed outside the Iron Wall Mountains for a few days."
"Ying Gou?"
Emperor Jianyuan let out a low groan.
There was a suspicious look in his eyes.
Of the four great corpse ancestors, he has only found Ying Gou so far.
This was also the first ancestral corpse he surrendered with the help of the first-generation Wangtianhu.
But what puzzled him was.
When this ancestor's corpse met with Emperor Jianyuan, not only did he not show the slightest respect, he didn't even show any fear towards him.
Emperor Jianyuan expected that the emotions of the ancestor corpse would be fear, resentment, anger, fear and disbelief.
However, he couldn't find any such emotion in Ying Gou's eyes.
There was only indifference, contempt and sarcasm in his eyes, and he spoke with a lack of interest and carelessness.
This ancestral corpse has no intention of leaving the mountain and is unwilling to enter Wang'an City and become his subordinate.
Emperor Jianyuan couldn't help but be puzzled.
Is this because the first-generation Wangtianjuan he copied failed to reach the level of restraining these ancestral corpses? Or is your own strength not enough? Or is it some other reason?
However, Ying Gou seconded many of his subordinates to him and agreed to help him prevent Chu Xisheng from returning south.
Emperor Jianyuan glanced sideways at the group of guards on his left.
Those were thirty "people" wearing the uniforms and armors of first-class royal guards.
Their bodies are extraordinarily majestic, but their auras are extraordinarily cold.
They look like living people, but their skin is much whiter than normal people, with almost no blood.
Around these people, there is still a vague black mist lingering.
——This is the subordinate Ying Gou lent to him.
Each one of them, when released, is a first-grade or even super-grade corpse king and corpse emperor. They can become the overlord of a party or cause a huge corpse disaster.
However, now, they all acted as Emperor Jianyuan's bodyguards, silently guarding his jade chariot.
Emperor Jianyuan sneered slightly.
He guessed there must be some reason for this.
There may have been some omissions in Yu Kunlun's plan.
Ying Gou was probably not under his control, and had ulterior motives.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Ying Gou is willing to help him.
As long as he could defeat Chu Xisheng and suppress this formidable enemy, he was not only willing to pay the price, but also willing to work with the devil.
Emperor Jianyuan was thinking and caressing a strange beast in his arms.
The head of this strange beast is like a dragon, and it also has a long neck like a dragon, but its body is like a dog.
——That was the first generation of 'Wangtian Jian' that he copied.
But this terrifying beast was curled up in his arms like a kitten.
Emperor Jianyuan immediately raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
I saw heavy fog shrouding the opposite side, making shadows blurry and difficult to distinguish.
It's funny to say that although all parties have been collecting martial arts masters who are good at covering the sky and illusions since two years ago, it turns out that most of the talents in this field are concentrated in the Iron Flag Gang.
At this time, the entire battlefield was covered with thick mist.
Even Emperor Jianyuan, who has been promoted to the super level, cannot fully understand the situation inside the water mist.
However, as an emperor, he also has countless eyes and ears.
Countless Jinyi guards and Ouchi martial arts cultivators were constantly relaying the situation on the battlefield to him.
The Iron Banner Gang has assembled a huge military formation of 3.3 million people in front, forming a broad front that is hundreds of miles long, advancing in their direction.
The opponent guessed in advance where Daning's main army would cross the river, and assembled a large number of troops and horses in advance, preparing to attack halfway.
In addition, there is also a huge navy with 3,500 warships. More than an hour ago, while the imperial troops were landing downstream, they fought their way out of the mouth of the canal.
They were upstream, waiting for a fatal blow.
The naval force assembled by the imperial court was even better than that of the Iron Banner Gang.
But once their army on land was defeated, they were driven off the river bank. The imperial navy had to divide its forces to rescue and cover the troops on the south bank to board ships and evacuate.
This is the fighter opportunity that the Iron Banner Navy is waiting for.
Today, the leader of the Iron Banner Gang is Lu Luanli, who leads the entire army on behalf of Chu Xisheng.
However, Lu Luanli did not have enough reputation. Although she had control over the Iron Banner Gang's armies, she probably could not freely mobilize other troops except for the five war halls under her command.
The people responsible for commanding the left, middle and right armies of the Iron Banner Gang were all famous generals in the world.
On the left is Gong Wugou and on the right is Shui Canglang.
The person commanding the central army is 'Ice Soul War Dragon' Shen Yun.
In addition to the 700,000 "Long Xiang Army" who were the main force of the former Ice City, the other 1.1 million people under his command were also the elite of the Ice City who retreated to the south bank of the Tianhuai River.
These three people have been fighting together for nearly half a year and are very familiar with each other. Although they are not perfectly coordinated, they can still coordinate with each other and work together.
Xiao Hongchen set up provocations several times but failed.
Of course, it could also be a problem with Xiao Hongchen’s ability.
In addition, there is also 'Sword Like a Dream' Lu Chen in charge.
In the past month, 'Sword Like a Dream' Lu Chen had fought five consecutive battles with the Imperial Master Yu Kunlun, but he was only at the disadvantage.
According to Yu Kunlun, this person's dream skills are increasing day by day.
Every time these two people fight, Lu Chen's dreamy martial spirit has improved to a certain extent.
Of course, a mere 'sword like a dream' cannot fight against the imperial court.
At this time, there was also a magician Shi Zhiming lurking on the side, who had already fought against Zong Shenhua twice.
This person is said to be the incarnation of the god of time, Candlelight.
When the sights of the gods were all attracted to the north by Chu Xisheng.
This man dared to come out openly and act as a chariot, blocking the imperial army for Chu Xisheng.
"That's it!"
Emperor Jianyuan smiled coldly: "Two days is almost enough. Ming'er!"
With the help of this killer weapon in his hand, it was enough to defeat the main army of the Iron Banner Gang assembled in Huaizhou within two days.
Even half a day is enough.
Then you can disperse your troops and clean up the mess.
If Chu Xisheng returns, it will be up to the huge corpse army lent to him by Yinggou to deal with it.
There was also the Hidden Dragon, whose true form was enough to intercept Chu Xisheng in the north of the Iron Wall Mountains.
Just as Emperor Jianyuan finished speaking, a graceful figure wearing black armor walked out from behind Emperor Jianyuan.
That is 'Chu Ming'. She is now about seventeen or eighteen years old and still has the appearance of a girl. The facial features look the same as those of a living person, but the skin is also very pale, and the fingernails are red and extremely sharp.
There is a deep red mark between 'Chu Ming''s eyebrows.
This red mark looks like a cinnabar mole, but any warlock or knowledgeable martial artist can recognize that the red mark is extremely pure evil force.
——Only extreme resentment can condense the most pure cruelty.
She was also wearing black armor, which was not the imperial standard armor.
The inner and outer layers of the black armor are not only exquisite in style and lingering in aura, but also have powerful auras of their own, which are connected and resonate with several rules of heaven and earth.
If Chu Xisheng were here at this time, he would find that the armor plates on the black armor are very similar to the armor plates on his two sets of inner and outer armor. They were both taken from the corpse of Yazhen left in ancient times.
However, the two sets of armor on 'Chu Ming' are obviously much more powerful.
Chu Ming did not salute after standing beside Emperor Jianyuan. She just held the knife in her hand and looked at Emperor Jianyuan silently.
Her body was upright, her face was dull and expressionless, and there was no fluctuation in her eyes. She looked like an upright corpse.
Emperor Jianyuan didn't care at all when he saw this.
Chu Ming's resentment was indeed very strong.
Strong enough to withstand his forbidden laws, yet unwilling to surrender and bow to him.
But this is good. The stronger Chu Ming's resentment, the stronger his combat power will be.
Emperor Jianyuan even looked at Chu Ming up and down with admiration.
This war puppet is perfectly made.
The only imperfection is the divine contract between Wuxiang Shenzong and Chu Ming, which is extremely perfect.
They even predicted the circumstances of Chu Ming's death, which was impeccable.
But after Chu Ming died, there was still a chance.
This divine contract has been loosened.
Next, as long as they collect the materials and complete the super-grade Tiangang method 'Li Dai Tao Jian', they can replace Chu Ming's divine bond.
Emperor Jianyuan was looking forward to this, but he had to wait patiently.
Just because of this, Daning's internal treasury was already more than half empty.
For the first generation of Wangtianjian and for the sacrifice of Chu Ming, a large amount of magic materials were consumed in the internal treasury.
Even though Emperor Jianyuan was rich all over the world, he could only barely support himself.
Especially in the past few years, wars have been going on. First, the Far East Ice City moved westward, and then Chu Xisheng and his wife separated the fertile lands of the ten states, and the internal treasury was almost squandered.
Fortunately, he worked there as a rich man, and it continued to bring him wealth.
It is expected that in a month or two at most, his eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will purchase the corresponding materials from China.
Emperor Jianyuan then put away his distracting thoughts and said with infinite regret: "It's a pity that I haven't been able to master the third form of the divine will to touch the death knife. Otherwise, what do I have to worry about?"
Yu Kunlun shook his head slightly: "It's indeed a little early. However, the situation forces it to happen."
If they could wait until Chu Ming reached the second level by himself, they wouldn't have to pay such a high price.
"Nothing in this world is perfect."
Emperor Jianyuan sighed, then raised his hand and pointed forward: "Ming'er! I will ask the whole army to recite your name later, and when you have collected enough hostile killing thoughts, they will go straight to this direction to kill you. You will do anything next. Don’t worry about it, just kill people, the more you kill, the better, do you understand?”
Chu Ming still didn't speak. She looked at Emperor Jianyuan intently, with a bright red luster in her eyes.
Emperor Jianyuan felt her burning resentment and murderous intention, but he didn't take it seriously.
But just when he was about to say something, Xiao Hongchen came over from a short distance away and half-knelt in front of the chariot.
"His Majesty!"
Xiao Hongchen's voice was hoarse and solemn: "There is news from upstream that Zhou Liangchen is commanding the navy to go down the river and has begun fighting with our navy."
Emperor Jianyuan was startled when he heard this.
He let go of Wangtianhu in his arms and grabbed the armrests on both sides: "Zhou Liangchen? Where does he get the courage?"
Zhou Liangchen is a famous naval general who has risen within the Iron Banner Gang.
Emperor Jianyuan didn't think highly of this son.
Zhou Liangchen said he was a famous general, but in fact he was just a representative promoted by some wealthy families in Jiangnan.
Just because he served as Chu Xisheng's Taoist attendant, he won Chu Xisheng's trust and became the bridge between the Jiangnan family and Chu Xisheng.
Since his debut, Zhou Liangchen has never lost any water battles he has experienced.
But these brilliant achievements actually depend on the power behind him.
The navy of the Iron Banner Gang is a monster made up of the members of the Iron Banner Gang who started out as the skeleton, mixed with the elites of wealthy families along the coast and rivers.
Therefore, Zhou Liangchen's control over this navy is very limited.
If there is no certain chance of victory, how can he unify the opinions of the army? How dare you take such a risk?
Xiao Hongchen raised his head and glanced at Emperor Jianyuan: "It's Xingxiu Immortal Sect!"
His words were difficult: "Just now, the Xingxu Immortal Sect recruited 90,000 elite martial arts cultivators and 7,000 magicians to join Zhou Liangchen."
The main mountain of Xingxu Xianzong is in the southwest of Huizhou, not far from the battlefield.
So when Jin Yiwei reacted, 90,000 martial arts cultivators from Xingxiu Immortal Sect had already arrived on the battlefield.
Emperor Jianyuan's eyes widened at first, and then the corners of his lips slightly raised, showing a hint of sternness: "This Xingxu Immortal Sect has made up its mind to fall to Chu Xisheng? Ninety thousand elites? This is almost a mobilization of the entire clan. . You know, you know, I have been very tolerant of you and the Xingxiu Immortal Sect, but why are you so unwise?"
At this moment, he felt something in his heart and looked forward.
Just fifteen miles away, in the thick fog, stood a young man in his twenties. He was wearing a plain white robe, with elegant features and an extraordinary temperament. He looked like an ordinary person.
——That is the leader of the Xingxu Immortal Sect, who is known to "pick the stars and get the moon"!
