The act of worshiping heaven on March 3rd made Tang Emperor Li Zhi completely appear in front of the Three Realms, and the return of the "Human Emperor" to the human race also brought the energy and spirit of the human race in the Three Realms and Four Continents to an unprecedented high.
If before, the "Tangjun Temples" in various places could only bring a little fame to Li Zhi, then with the establishment of a large number of "Renhuang Temples", Li Zhi finally felt what it was like to be wrapped in a large amount of incense and will power. .
The season of spring and blooming flowers is also the most rare time for Li Zhi in so many years.
The territory actually controlled by the Tang Dynasty continued to expand, but the life of Li Zhi, the co-leader of the human race, was not greatly affected. His men's civilized and martial arts were at their peak, enough for him to sit in the harem.
Li Zhi's rule was not limited to the human race. Witch clans like Songtsen Gampo, some demon clans in the north, and even the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas also expressed their willingness to obey Li Zhi's orders.
This was just a matter of being carried in a sedan chair. Li Zhi was not a narrow-minded person. He was trusted and respected by others, so he would naturally lend a helping hand when necessary.
When it comes to matters in this regard, Li Zhi entrusted it to Demon Saint Bai Ze with full authority, and "Yingzhou Island" was officially promoted to the public.
Back then, the big boss promised to protect Li Zhi for a hundred years. Who would have thought that less than twenty years later, Li Zhi would have the power to protect himself.
In view of the fact that Li Zhi has inherited the position of "Human Emperor" and has actually become the talker of the entire Nanzhan continent, Yun Zhongzi also said that he is willing to serve Li Zhi as the leader and stay on "Yingzhou Island" forever.
There were few wars in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even in the entire Nanzhan continent, and the army of the Tang Dynasty was undergoing a new round of innovation.
All the armored men were surveyed, and only 500,000 soldiers were left to fight. In addition to the 100,000 forbidden troops stationed in the Tang Dynasty, the other 400,000 strong troops were scattered throughout the Nanzhan continent.
Li Zhi even took out half of the "Ti Jue" and popularized it to the entire army, making it a daily compulsory course for the Tang army.
Only the first half of the "Physical Art" can reach the "celestial immortal" state if it can be fully practiced.
Li Zhi has a bigger goal in mind, and he must have a division under his command that dares to fight and can fight. He has asked Prince Li Chenxiang to start working on this matter.
From the entire Datang system, people with cultivation levels above "celestial beings" were selected to form the real powerhouse of the Tang Dynasty. Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu, Xue Dingshan, etc. were all handed over to Li Chenxiang's leadership.
Indra and Rutoro became Li Chenxiang's right-hand men. The four Michun brothers, who were born in "Yingzhou Island", were later assigned to Prince Chenxiang to become his four personal bodyguards.
However, Bai Zhi still stayed with Li Zhi. This was the first general-level subordinate that Li Zhi accepted. Heishan and Wu Hai, who originally stayed in Luzhou, Beiju, were also transferred to Bai Zhi as his deputy. .
Li Zhi is not greedy for more. In three years, he can recruit and train an army of more than 10,000 "celestial beings" level or above.
Although this is still difficult for the current Tang Dynasty, it is not completely impossible.
Of course, the composition of the personnel will not be limited to the human race, whether it is the witch race or the demon race, anyone who can surrender and have a heart for the Tang Dynasty can join this powerful team.
As for the internal naming and promotion of this army, Li Zhi thought it was simpler. Everything was based on the actual cultivation level, and the troops were divided into formations based on their cultivation level, in order: "Celestial Immortal Army", "True Immortal Army", "Xuanxian Army" "Fairy Army"......
If a powerful "Daluo Jinxian" level team can be built at any time, even if there are not too many people, even a hundred or ten people, Li Zhi is confident that he can lead them to sweep through the three realms.
In the past, it was the Jin Palace or Chang'an City, but now it has spread to the Tang Dynasty and even the entire southern continent, and the atmosphere of cultivation is "very noisy."
The imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty fully realized the "men are in charge outside and women are in charge at home". Because Li Zhiming banned women from joining the army, the women's guard originally formed by Li Mingda, the sixth son of the Tang Dynasty, was also taken back.
Li Zhi was so frustrated by his little sister that he had no choice but to hand over part of the palace's security rights to her.
Li Mingda, on the other hand, used chicken feathers as arrows to expand this "part" step by step.
In the end, even Li Zhi's four imperial concubines, two daughters, and two female disciples were involved.
He moved closer and almost completely took over the palace's guard.
Of course, Li Mingda still has "self-awareness". She is only the leader in name, but the real leadership of this assembled female force has been delegated.
Fan Lihua, this was Li Mingda’s proposal and was approved by everyone’s unanimous vote.
How could Fan Lihua dare to make a mistake in the first place?
Are you kidding me? Except for Shangguan Wan'er and Xiao Shiji, all these people seem to have a higher status than her, right?
Needless to say, the four princesses, plus Li Mingda, which one is not her elder?
Later, she finally found out that the eldest princess, Li Liluo, was her master's own junior sister, and she would definitely not be able to escape with the words "master uncle".
At this time, Fan Lihua realized that she was also a "disciple of a saint" and that her master, Mother Lishan, turned out to be the current leader of the Jie Jiao Church, the Holy Mother Wudang!
In the end, it was Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who came forward and made the final decision on Fan Lihua's appointment. After all, among so many women, Fan Lihua was the most reliable, and the others looked like they were here for fun.
However, this small female army has extraordinary combat capabilities.
How many "Great Luo Golden Immortals" are there in the entire Tang Dynasty now?
There are currently five people in this team. According to the talents of Shangguan Wan'er and Xiao Shiji, there may be two more "Daluo Golden Immortals" in a few years.
As for Fan Lihua herself, now that she has such a favorable cultivation environment and resources, is she still worried about not reaching the realm of Da Luo?
Spring is always an exciting season. It is rare for Li Zhi to stay in the harem, and with four imperial concubines, he naturally cannot be idle.
Now that Empress Yang Chan of the Tang Dynasty is away, the other three imperial concubines see the emptiness at the knees of the eldest grandson Pingting, and intend to leave more opportunities for her.
The current eldest grandson Pingting is no longer as "low-key" as she used to be. She is the daughter of Shennong, the "Jingwei" and "Emperor of the Earth" back then.
When it comes to her background, in the entire harem, only the "Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan can rival her.
Changsun Pingting regained her memories of her previous life. Not only did she recover all her cultivation, but she also awakened the ability to make elixirs and medicines.
In this way, she not only took over the entire medicine garden left by Sun Simiao, but also opened a ten-acre medicine field in the Daming Palace. .Ь.
Of course, the "Shennong Cauldron" is not in her hands. For a master refiner like Li Zhi, how can he still not be able to imitate one?
In order to make elixirs and medicines more convenient, Li Zhi even released the fire spirit directly. From then on, the fire spirit became completely independent and followed the eldest grandson Pingting forever.
Since then, the "True Sun Fire" has truly become a magical power of Li Zhi, instead of being like the past, the existence of the fire spirit is more like a spiritual treasure.
...
"Brother Monkey, are you not planning to return to heaven?"
Every time we get together is always so short, no matter how good the wine is, there will always be a time when it is finished.
Before leaving, Zhu Bajie transformed into the "Marshal Canopy" again, but saw that the Supreme Treasure had no intention of leaving.
"Second Senior Brother, the Heavenly Guard was brought back to heaven by that Yu Tao King. He didn't even say hello to Senior Brother."
"That is the current General of the Curtain Curtain. He was able to do something beyond his authority. It seems that he was instructed by the Great Heavenly Lord. I think the Great Heavenly Lord is dissatisfied with Senior Brother's private lower realm."
Zhizunbao has returned to his usual appearance, perhaps because he still cannot regain his former appearance despite his current majestic appearance, or perhaps because the knot in his heart has not been resolved.
People are always like this. They are obviously very active and active people by nature, but for some reason, they may become completely different people.
Just like the current Supreme Treasure, in front of others, isn't he just a completely different person?
"It doesn't matter if you don't go back to Heaven. Whether it's the former senior brother or the current third brother, they are not very suitable for such an environment."
to this day
On that day, Li Zhi was still not very clear about the Supreme Treasure, or why Sun Wukong went to heaven to apply for the "God-given Guard".
Could it be that it is just because the hero's heart is unwilling to be lonely?
"It doesn't matter if Senior Brother stays here. I have many problems in cultivation, so I wish I could ask Senior Brother for help from time to time——"
It was rare for Xiao Bailong to be as relaxed as he was today. Maybe when there were only the four of them, it was more of a pure senior-brother relationship, right?
The Supreme Treasure has not returned to Heaven, and Heaven has not made any comment on this, as if it is as if this person does not exist?
However, the personnel structure of the "Tianci Guards" has not changed. King Yu Tao is still only the deputy commander, and is solely responsible for the daily affairs of the "Tianci Guards". xь.
In the battle outside Chang'an City, the "Tianci Guards" were more focused on beating the drowned dogs, and there were twenty-eight constellations on the side to help. Except for a few unlucky ones who were injured, no one died.
This is probably the easiest battle that the "Tianci Guard" has fought since its establishment. The reason is very simple. The masters of the demon clan have been stymied by others.
The "Three Taiye Islands" have become the temporary residence of the Supreme Treasure, which is naturally against the rules in terms of feudal etiquette.
Unfortunately, in today's Tang Dynasty, and even in the entire Nanzhan continent, Li Zhi's words are the rules.
A few days later, Zhen Yuanzi and Zen Master Wuchao came together. Zen Master Wuchao came to find Li Zhi to fulfill his promise. He had decided to leave his mark in Chang'an, which could be regarded as once again taking sides.
However, Zhen Yuanzi came to find his apprentice. Last year when he was at the "Wuzhuang Temple", Li Zhi, the father-in-law, had already "sold" his Highness the Crown Prince.
Today's Three Realms is a world where "saints" cannot come. "Quasi-sages" are the supreme existence, not to mention Zhen Yuanzi, a super "quasi-sage" who came from the ancient times?
Hearing that Li Chenxiang could control the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map", Zhen Yuanzi suddenly had a whim and gave his apprentice a branch of "Ginseng Fruit" and taught him how to cultivate it, so that the agarwood could be planted in the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" middle.
Don't the pair of master and disciple know that this "innate spiritual treasure" is only temporarily stored in Li Chenxiang's hands?
Why are you so unscrupulous? Even if the cultivation is successful, when the master takes back the "Mountains, Rivers, State and Country" in the future, wouldn't it mean that he is marrying someone else?
Li Zhi watched from the side and couldn't say anything. Among the pair of masters and disciples, one dared to give and teach, and the other dared to cultivate. They really regarded it as their own one-third of an acre of land.
Zhen Yuanzi did not hide his secrets, and even the great spatial magical power of "The Universe in His Sleeve" was patiently passed on to Li Chenxiang.
However, he did not teach Li Chenxiang other techniques, but emphasized that "Xuanyuan Jue" was the technique more suitable for Li Chenxiang.
Of course, Li Chenxiang had previously practiced the unique skills of various sects and clans. Zhen Yuanzi's attitude was the same as Li Zhi's. He neither interfered nor encouraged, and just let nature take its course.
...
March, April, May...
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhi has stayed in Chang'an for more than half a year, visiting the palace city and seeing Feixue again.
"Kuro, I want to go out for a walk..."
On this day, heavy snow fell again. Li Zhi ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and he and Zhizunbao drank together on the "Three Taiye Islands".
At Li Zhi's level, there is no need for these mouth-watering things. There is no need to satisfy hunger and thirst with them, and there is no need for the little bit of energy provided by these foods.
You must know that the incense and wish power received by "Huanghuang Temple" in various places every day is enough for Li Zhi's daily practice, not to mention that there is also a large amount of spiritual water in his strange sea of consciousness.
If we were to describe it now, I'm afraid it would be more realistic to say it was a sea of spiritual power.
The "God-killing Spear" was still sleeping soundly in the "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus", and Li Zhi did not correct its "rogue" behavior.
It seems that the weapon spirit of the "God-killing Spear" is a rough old man, and the "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus" is called "Sister Bailian" by Li Zhi.
"God-killing Spear", you old fool—
—
Of course, Li Zhi only thought about it in his mind and never said it out loud. It was inconvenient for him to participate in the matters in the world of weapon spirits, and maybe he really didn't understand it.
Above the sea of spiritual power, four divine swords are suspended, three of which are "Zhu Xian", "Jue Xian" and "Slaughter Immortal", three of the "Four Swords of Zhu Xian". As for his own "Xuan Yuan Sword", what happened? It looks like he is trying to make up the numbers.
Having obtained three of the "Four Swords of Killing Immortals", Li Zhi once thought about whether he should go to the "Jinxia Cave" in Yuquan Mountain. Wouldn't it be great if he could get the "Sword of Immortal Trapping" from the real person Yuding? Can you submit a request to that big boss?
When I think of Master Yuding, I naturally think of my beloved brother and uncle Yang Jian. They haven't seen each other for many years. Last time, I got the whereabouts of Yang Jian and Nezha from Zhu Bajie.
Extraterrestrial demon? What is that thing?
In Li Zhi's concept, "extraterrestrial demons" do exist, but he is not completely sure about this world. It is similar to what he imagined, but also has various differences.
Then, this "extraterritorial devil" can be big or small.
Although it is small, it can be regarded as a military training ground in the Three Realms. Just like the Northern Xinjiang in those days, it trained countless generals and strong soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhi never believed that strong men are cultivated and must be gained through actual combat.
Don’t you see, one day the most powerful person in history will be able to challenge across levels?
If we only talked about the level of cultivation and realm, and only compared the level of magic weapons, then the whole prehistoric story would be much simpler.
Speaking more broadly, Li Zhi was even more confused. What kind of extraterritoriality would it be?
It's a pity that at this time, Li Zhi had only just conquered Nanzhan Buzhou, and even the fundamental symbol of the Human Emperor, the "Human Emperor's Fruition", had not been obtained.
Li Zhi decided to wait until he meets his eldest brother Yang Jian before talking about the matter of Master Yuding. Li Zhi, an outsider, cannot fully understand the relationship between the two masters and disciples.
You can't make it difficult for Yang Jian just for a mere magic sword. If it makes Yang Erlang unhappy, Li Zhi will really regret it.
"Third brother, do you want to go to heaven, or... want to go back to Huaguo Mountain?"
As soon as the words "Huaguoshan" came out of his mouth, Li Zhi felt that he had said the wrong thing.
The reason why he still calls him "third brother" instead of calling him senior brother or monkey brother is because he is afraid of offending the other person's nerves.
In Li Zhi's view, the once arrogant "Monkey King" was actually a very sensitive person at heart.
How beautiful it was back then, it will be so sensitive now.
"Kiuro, my cultivation has reached a bottleneck. If I want to break through to the 'quasi-sage', it cannot be achieved by pure cultivation."
"If it were in the past, I would have chosen to fight. If nothing else, the 'Fighting to Defeat the Buddha' by those guys in Lingshan is quite to my liking."
It seems that the current Supreme Treasure’s purpose in life is only to practice? Li Zhi also made insinuations and wanted to know what other concerns he had in his heart.
Li Zhi thought he understood the person in front of him, no matter what he looked like.
However, hearing his views on spiritual practice, Li Zhi suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Is this... the same arrogant "Monkey King"?
Even Li Zhi is a bit forward-looking and "fearful". Will he wait until the day in the future that he can really help to reach Lingshan, expose the darkest operation of the year, and see the monkey in his mind again? Brother?
From later generations to this life, in Li Zhi's mind, only the unrestrained, unrestrained, and arrogant Monkey King is the Sun Wukong he wants to save.
But......
"I want to walk the same path again, from Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of the East China Sea to Dongsheng Shenzhou, cross the sea to the west, then come to the south to see Buzhou, and then go to the sea to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.".Ь.
"If necessary, I will take the westward journey again from Liangjie Mountain. Haha, what a pity.
, the second half is completely unfamiliar to me. "
Li Zhi pondered his thoughts silently, and Zhizunbao also talked to himself, while drinking one cup after another.
I would like to ask, what kind of wine in the world can make these two drunk?
Unless, if you are not drunk, everyone will get drunk.
"Third brother, everyone's path is different. Just do whatever you want. I just advise you not to go to Lingshan by yourself."
Zhizunbao has been able to fully use the "Law of Gold". Theoretically, he is not far away from beheading a corpse. He also has the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" in hand, and he has the conditions to behead a corpse.
However, this is just a theory. Even if Li Zhi asked Zhen Yuanzi and Zen Master Wuchao for advice, they could not give a definite answer.
As the same saying goes, everyone has their own way. Breaking through the realm of "quasi-sage" can only be used as a reference and cannot be imitated.
This is why since the beginning of time, hundreds of millions of years ago, in terms of a single small level, there are undoubtedly the most people who have completely stagnated at the peak level of "Daluo Golden Immortal".
"I know this, but there is just one more thing. If Kuro is free, I hope I can take care of him..."
Zhizunbao, who had always been decisive, suddenly became a little shy in front of Li Zhi.
"Haha, no matter what the third brother said, do you and I still have to be so polite? If you have any orders, just tell me."
Li Zhi had never seen such an expression on the Supreme Treasure, not even when he entrusted him with the "monkey-shaped jade pendant".
"Kuroro, while I was recuperating at Guanjiangkou, I met a woman..."
Zhizunbao drank himself two glasses of wine, and then began his story.
The wine on the table had been drunk long ago, but Li Zhi signaled Shi Ji, who was waiting outside the corridor, not to come over. He was frightened by the "story" told by Zhizunbao.
Could it be said that it was all his fault back then?
Frankly speaking, of course, Li Zhi was helpless when the "monkey-shaped jade pendant" broke into pieces.
Everything he did later was completed under the guidance of the remnant soul of Sun Wukong.
As for the current appearance of Supreme Treasure and the name "Supreme Treasure", he really chose it on a whim, semi-prankly, by using the classic of his youth in later generations.
The name of the Supreme Treasure, even this delicate and slightly frail face, and the long and affectionate confession deep in the soul.
Li Zhi could swear that he absolutely believed that story would never happen in this world. After all, the Supreme Treasure in front of him was created by him.
However, it happened that this Supreme Treasure actually told him a story that seemed like "love", and the heroine of this love was actually called "Fairy Zixia".
Yes, before the Supreme Treasure left, the only thing he asked Li Zhi to do was to take care of the fairy named "Zixia" in front of the Queen Mother of Heaven when he could.
If you don't care, you will be in chaos. In an environment like Fairy Zixia's, with such a backstage, would anyone want to provoke her?
It's a pity that the Supreme Treasure, which has never been emotionally moved, is moved, but it is still unforgettable.
Li Zhi finally understood why Zhizunbao went to heaven to apply for the "God-given Guard". Was it because he wanted to get closer to the water and get the moon first?
"Third brother, don't worry, I will hand it over to my younger brother at this time. 'You know Taoist Baoxiang in the Tianci Guard, he is one of our own."
"Also, although Brother Yang is not in contact now, news from Roaring Sky Dog often comes. If anything really happens, I can go to heaven myself."
Li Zhi was still shocked by the names "Supreme Treasure" and "Purple Cloud Fairy". He even wanted to ask if there was really a "Purple Green Sword" or a "Moonlight Treasure Box"?
This matter is a bit bizarre, but based on Li Zhi's understanding of the Great Heavenly Lord and the Queen Mother, I am afraid there will be quite a change in the matter in the end.
Of course, even for matters as big as Lingshan, Li Zhi dared to do it for Sun Wu many years ago.
Kong took over, with his current identity and strength, wouldn't he dare to take on the story of "Supreme Treasure" and "Zixia Fairy"?
...
The Supreme Treasure still left, just like those who came to congratulate him, or Zhenyuan and Wuchao.
Zhizunbao went to find his way, but Li Zhi had to fulfill his obligations in the harem.
As winter turns to spring and everything revives, good news finally comes from the harem of the Tang Dynasty - the eldest grandson Pingting is pregnant.
This news was widely publicized by everyone who was concerned about the matter. Some people even ran to the "Three Emperors Temple" outside Chang'an City to burn incense.
There is no way, the eldest grandson Pingting is pregnant, she has to tell her father, right?
"Fetus-preserving Pill", "Puiyuan Pill", "Foundation-Building Pill", "Breaking Realm Pill"...
Good guy, the Holy Emperor Shennong really showed up and gave a lot of top-grade elixirs, which scared Li Zhi even to the point where he didn't dare to give them to his pregnant eldest grandson Pingting.
