Bingzhou, Xuyang Mansion.
Xu Yang is known to many people in Bingzhou, of course, not because of its vast territory, rich resources, etc., but because this place is where the Sima family made its fortune.
When the Chu Dynasty was still in existence, the Xuyang Sima family was famous all over the world. It was the head of the five great families at that time. Not only was it powerful, it also had great say in the court.
It can be said to be a behemoth that straddles the court and the world. It is precisely because of its profound foundation that the Sima family can take over the court very quickly.
However, as the Sima family later became a royal family and moved to Zhongzhou, the foundation of Xu Yang Mansion gradually declined. As far as he knew, to this day, although there are still many people named Sima in Xu Yang Mansion.
But basically they are all collateral lines within collateral lines, and at most they can only get some rewards from the royal family to show that they do not forget their ancestral land.
But now that the Sima family has been defeated and lost its kingdom, the imperial court is also searching for all those who have connections with the Sima clan. Therefore, a purge is also going on in the Xu Yang Mansion.
No matter how much benefit you get, you will eventually get it back tenfold or a hundredfold.
After leaving the capital, Chen Yuan quickly rushed to Bingzhou Xuyang without much delay. Now that his injuries were almost recovered, he naturally needed to prepare for the next move.
After arriving in Xuyang City, they quickly began to investigate the so-called Sanxinkou. It was indeed a bit troublesome at first, but it didn't take long before they successfully found their destination.
This place is a mountain stream, located within a mountain range in Xuyang Mansion. Because there are three corresponding sloping peaks, it is called Sanxinkou.
It's a little-known place, and not many people know about it.
After getting the location, Chen Yuan quickly rushed to the mountain range. With his spiritual sense, he quickly found the place where the three hearts were. It seemed that there was nothing surprising.
The vitality of heaven and earth is normal, and there are no rare mineral veins. It is just a little strange in shape. On the surface, it does not match the so-called chance at all.
However, Chen Yuan knew that the guidance of the Luck Altar could not be that simple.
The power of the rules poured into the void, probing every inch. After about ten breaths, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth:
"It turns out... it's a secret place."
He originally thought that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Monument might be buried deep underground, but he did not expect that it existed in the secret realm of the void. If it were not integrated into the void with rules for exploration, nothing would be visible on the surface.
The surrounding heaven and earth energy gradually began to tremble, and under the pull of divine thoughts, it formed a vortex the size of a portal, and the secret realm was directly forcibly opened!
What is an immortal?
Those who are transcendent are immortals.
For low-level warriors, the gap is insurmountable, but in front of Chen Yuan now, it only takes a moment.
The illusory figure turned into flowing light, and Chen Yuan quickly stepped into the secret realm.
At this time, the movement outside the secret realm quickly shocked all the people of the Sima clan hiding here. They all looked up, with panic on most of their faces.
They are all the descendants of Jingtai who secretly evacuated at the beginning. He wanted to sacrifice to heaven and become the human emperor. Although he was full of confidence, he still followed Sima Che's suggestion.
A series of branches were left to pass on the incense of the Sima clan.
Only a few people knew about this matter. Even the second prince and fourth prince Sima Ke, who later took the throne, had no idea. Even if they went to investigate, it would be difficult to find out.
Because the battle at Purple Mountain had such a wide impact, countless people died, including a large number of people from the Sima royal family.
"Bold, who dares to break into the secret realm of the royal family!"
An old voice resounded through the void, and deep in the secret realm, an old man in dark yellow robes and an old woman holding a snake-headed cane stepped out of the void.
Surrounded by a powerful aura, he was a real person at the peak of god refining!
"royal?"
Chen Yuan put his hands behind his hands and looked down at the visitor with a slightly surprised look in his eyes. It seemed that he did not expect that the Sima family was still keeping a back-up plan under his nose.
But it's normal to think about it. Any royal family will usually leave a way out for themselves. This is true for the Xiang family, and it seems to be the same for the Sima family.
"It's you, Chen Yuan!"
When the old woman saw clearly who was coming, she shrank instantly, full of fear. Without any hesitation, she turned around and ran away, but... it was easier to come than harder to leave.
Just as she was about to move, she felt a huge pressure falling on her body, unable to move her body at all, and the surrounding void was instantly controlled by Chen Yuan.
"You say it yourself, or am I searching for souls?"
Chen Yuan looked at the old woman in front of him indifferently.
"Humph, you..."
Before the old woman finished speaking, Chen Yuan waved his hand impatiently and directly destroyed his body. At the same time, a powerful spiritual thought searched for his soul, and after a while, it gradually disintegrated.
Master Lian Shen, now in front of him, was no different from an ant.
In the old woman's memory, he did not find any memory about the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Monument, which made him frown slightly. It was just some insignificant things.
This old woman's identity is also extraordinary. She is Sima Che's first wife. She has the highest status and the strongest strength in this secret realm. After migrating here, she rarely leaves the secret realm.
But I also know some of the things happening in the world today.
For example, the Jin Dynasty has almost been destroyed and is now just an empty shell. That's why they were so frightened when they saw Chen Yuan.
There are a lot of resources hidden in this secret realm, which is in line with what Yan Jun discovered when he took over the palace treasure house. He thought that Jingtai had already used them all.
Unexpectedly, he secretly reserved a hand.
Unfortunately, he was still discovered.
Divine thoughts swept through the entire secret realm, and the power of rules was still permeated. Those geniuses of the Sima clan who had high hopes fell to the ground one after another, without any breath.
...
Within the secret realm, there was silence.
At this time, except for Chen Yuan, there was no living thing in the entire secret realm. The grass had to be cut to remove the roots. Chen Yuan had no mercy for these remnants of the Sima family.
Including Sima Ke.
Chen Yuan could give him a life of wealth and glory for the sake of Ping Yang and Queen Mother Yang, but this did not mean that Chen Yuan would let him continue his incense.
When the Sima family took control of the capital, all the descendants of the Xiang family were executed, leaving only Chen Huaiyi as a single member of the Chen family.
Tit for retaliation, Chen Yuan thought this was normal.
While killing the remnants of the Sima clan, Chen Yuan finally found something strange in the secret realm. It was a void, but somewhat chaotic.
Unintentionally swallowing the vitality of heaven and earth in the secret realm.
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, his eyes opened, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, he saw the faint cyan light flickering in the void.
The heaven and earth spiritual monument is hidden in this void.
With a finger pointing, the void shattered, Chen Yuan made a move with one hand, and a half-human tall cyan spiritual monument instantly fell in front of him, surrounded by a looming Taoist power.
After staring at the spiritual stele for a moment, Chen Yuan smiled faintly, sat cross-legged in the void, began to adjust his state, and began to understand the power of the rules with the help of the Tao Yun Qi emanating from the heaven and earth spiritual stele.
The reason why every step of the Sixth Realm is difficult is precisely because the rules are difficult to understand. Otherwise, the Sixth Realm would not be called the 'Entertainment' realm, and it would rely on swallowing other insights to improve.
Almost extremely difficult.
...
When Chen Yuan understood the rules with the help of the spiritual tablet, great turmoil also occurred on the grassland. With the support of Gemu Barbarian God and Wufeng Barbarian God.
The three royal courts began to break up and merge, gradually moving towards signs of a unified royal court.
However, few people still knew about Huang Ji. Even though Huang Ji was not afraid of Chen Yuan and even looked down upon him, he did not act rashly immediately.
Prepare to give Chen Yuan a surprise at the critical moment.
At the same time, because the Buddha basically concluded that the Bodhisattva Jishi was a traitor, the speed of the Buddha's suppression of the rebellion was also rapidly accelerated. In several confrontations, he was defeated by Mahayana Buddhism.
Medicine Master Liuli Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva teamed up to severely injure Jishi Bodhisattva. If not for his extraordinary methods, he would have fallen into Lingshan's hands.
But for some unknown reason, after severely injuring the Bodhisattva Jishi, the Buddhists did not continue to attack and kill him. Instead, they set up a net of heaven and earth to trap him in the void.
It seems to be attracting someone.
At this time, Chen Yuan was still in retreat.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. There was no movement outside the secret realm, but inside the secret realm, the strong power of rules and Taoist charm enveloped everything.
Chen Yuan's body, which was more than a hundred feet long, was covered, and he looked hazy and vague. He could only vaguely see that it was a humanoid creature.
He is practicing, not only using the power of the spiritual tablet to understand the rules of the soul, but also the rules of the physical body.
With his background, it was actually very difficult for him to gain anything after just entering the Sixth Realm. That is to say, the spiritual monument was actually a creation that conquered the world, which gave Chen Yuan the opportunity.
In the process of practicing, Chen Yuan also discovered a good thing.
He discovered that the rules of the soul and the rules of the physical body seemed to not only complement each other, but at the same time, they could also benefit the other during the process of enlightenment, and the speed of enlightenment could be accelerated.
He was even guessing that maybe Chu Taizu was able to practice to the point of being invincible in the world within a few decades, and there were two reasons for mutual success.
Chen Yuan's soul was blooming with purple light, containing the rules of heaven and earth, and his physical body was also rumbling, as if it was expanding the world.
Every moment, he was making gradual and slow progress.
However, spiritual beings take over the creation of heaven and earth and absorb infinite power. They themselves have limits, which can be clearly seen.
The light of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Monument is gradually dimming with practice.
When the light dissipates completely, the power of the spiritual monument is exhausted.
...
The time of enlightenment always passed very quickly, and Chen Yuan even forgot how much time had passed, and it was also in the process of his breakthrough.
On the grassland, a distinguished guest came.
The Buddha was dressed in a long blue robe and walked on the grassland. Every time he took a step, he covered a distance of several miles. He had the magical power of shrinking into an inch.
His face was neither sad nor happy, and he looked as usual, as if he was just visiting the grassland, but in fact, he was actually here to persuade the two wild gods of the grassland to join forces to help.
The envoy he sent to southern Xinjiang before has been heard from without a trace. He has apparently died at the mouth of the demon, and he has rejected the Buddhist joint proposal in disguise.
Before, if he had provoked Buddhism like this, he would have suppressed it even if it was a demon god. However, now that the enemy is facing the enemy, the biggest threat is Chen Yuan.
In comparison, the demons in southern Xinjiang are not that important.
After thinking about it, he decided to set off in person and visit the grassland.
Chen Yuan is powerful. Although he has no idea of entering the Western Regions yet, he cannot take it lightly. He needs to take precautions and nip the danger in the cradle in advance.
The help of the Barbarian God is absolutely necessary.
Suddenly, the Buddha who was on his way stopped suddenly. He seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked into the void, and smiled:
"The Barbarian God is indeed able to sense people. The poor monk has already noticed it before he even reaches the royal court."
"It turned out to be the Buddha himself."
God Gemuman stepped out of the void and looked at the Buddha with a solemn expression.
Earth Immortal Power!
Before the change, he might not have a clear understanding of the power of the Earth Immortal, but after the battle at Jianmen Pass, he had already realized it and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"Why don't Wufeng Donor show up and see you?"
Buddha chuckled.
"I wonder why the Buddha came to our grassland?" Wufeng Man God saw that it had been exposed, and immediately did not hide it anymore, showing his true body, standing next to Gemu Man God.
"The poor monk came here to save the grassland from water and fire."
"Hmph, why did the Buddha say this?" God Gemuman frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
There is no big enmity between the grassland and Buddhism, but there is a small grudge. These Buddhists once came to the grassland to preach, which caused a lot of turmoil in the grassland, and finally killed all the Buddhists.
That's when the grudges were settled.
They have never been in contact with each other. Now, when they come here, they say that there is a disaster in the grassland. Who feels comfortable hearing it?
In other words, Buddha was stronger than him, otherwise he would have taken action long ago.
"Not long ago, the grassland went south, and troops came to Jianmen Pass, and they formed an intractable feud with Chen Yuan, King of Yan. Now that the turmoil in the Central Plains has calmed down, they are all in Chen Yuan's hands, waiting for him to consolidate his power.
There will be a Northern Expedition in the future. Isn't this a disaster? "
"Buddha should care about himself first. Buddhism marches eastward, sends troops out of the Western Regions, and fights with Chen Yuan many times. Even if he takes action, he should destroy the Western Regions first."
Wufeng Manshen said calmly.
"That's why the poor monk came here. No matter who Chen Yuan attacks first, it will be a disaster. This guy has a ruthless nature and has fallen into the devil's way. If he wants to get rid of it once and for all.
This demon must be suppressed, and the poor monk came here to join forces. "
"Join forces?"
The two barbarian gods looked at each other, with an inexplicable meaning flashing through them.
"Grassland and Buddhism join forces to attack Chen Yuan. If it succeeds, the thirteen states of the Central Plains will be divided equally between the two sides."
"Why should we believe you? What if you secretly colluded with Chen Yuan?"
The smile on the Buddha's face gradually faded, and he looked directly at the two of them and said:
"Because the two donors have no choice. Chen Yuan is so powerful that everyone knows it. Can the grassland stop him?"
"Why not?!"
