It took Chen Yuan three full months to refine the Immortal Pearl, which was nothing to an ordinary warrior, especially a powerful person in the Immortal Realm.
But for him, it has been a long time.
However, there is no way to do this, because the understanding of the rules cannot be directly improved by external forces. It can only be used as an assistant. In essence, he still needs to gradually understand it.
What's more, the further you go, the longer it will take to practice retreat.
The only pity is that although he has three flowers gathered at the top, he has not yet reached the peak of human immortality. He can feel that he is still far away from the earthly immortal.
Only when three flowers condense into one can one become the pinnacle of human immortality.
Of course, it's not that he really can't. If he just understands the rules of the soul, he can condense the three flowers into one and completely push his cultivation to the peak of human immortality.
But he is not only cultivating the soul alone, but also has the equally important rules of heaven and earth in the physical body.
If he cultivates both of them at the same time, his speed will naturally be reduced.
But it's not worth his too much regret, because it is actually more important to maintain the physical body and the soul in the same realm.
Only when the two are truly equal can stronger God of War rules be unleashed.
Just like now, although he is only in the late stage of human immortality, with the dual cultivation of soul and body, even a strong man at the peak of earth immortal can fight with him.
In the absence of immortals in the world, his current strength is invincible!
When two Earth Immortals join forces like before, the power he can use will be even greater.
With a breath of turbid air, Chen Yuan moved his mind and instantly cleared a path out of the chaotic space around him. The realm has basically been stabilized. Next, it is time to unify the world!
Northern barbarians, southern demons,
Now the only obstacles in the world are these two!
...
In the process of returning to the Central Plains, Chen Yuan also opened the Heavenly Book and contacted Su Ziyue and other Taoist masters to inquire about any major events that had happened in recent months.
A few months are enough time for a lot to happen.
He also learned about the changes in southern Xinjiang and the retreat of the royal court in the northern barbarian grassland. He did not feel anything strange because he had actually expected these.
After the Southern Xinjiang Monster Clan has finished what they are doing, they will definitely find a way to go north to interrupt his momentum, and the Northern Barbarian Royal Court will suffer the fall of the two barbarian gods.
There was only one Earth Immortal Emperor Ji who had fled, and he couldn't stop him at all!
At present, it is also the best person for him to kill who is blessed with luck.
However, the only thing that worried Chen Yuan was that if Huang Ji hid secretly because he was afraid of him, it would not be as easy as he thought if he wanted to find it.
He doesn't have any magical powers like searching for souls from thousands of miles away.
We can only kill this person as soon as possible!
Then, gather all the strength to defeat Southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop. After that, it will be much simpler. When the ten-year period comes, we will have the final decisive battle with the Immortal Territory.
...
Zhongzhou, the imperial city.
As Chen Yuan's cultivation became more and more powerful, his speed suddenly increased. When he returned, he relied on tearing the void and returned to Zhongzhou in just about a day.
Met Su Ziyue.
After some tenderness, Chen Yuan pulled away, leaving behind a very empty Su Ziyue. Both parties let out a sigh of relief, and then fell into silence for a moment.
"When are you leaving?"
Su Ziyue asked softly.
The Central Plains was now at peace, with only the Northern Barbarians and Southern Xinjiang left. She knew that Chen Yuan would never be idle. The Imperial City of Zhongzhou was just a transit point for him, even now.
"tomorrow."
Today, there are not a few strong men left in Zhongzhou Imperial City. Xu Yan, Zhao Danqing, Ju Yu, Feng Jiuge, and several members of Tianmo Palace are all stationed at Zhennanguan.
Be prepared for a surprise attack by the demon clan in southern Xinjiang.
Jiang He, Yang Huatian, Ling Xu, Chen Huaiyi and other powerful men all rushed to Liangzhou and were waiting for his arrival before officially starting the Northern Expedition.
Nowadays, only Taoist Tianxu, Su Ziyue, Xiao Jing, and Li Suqing are left in Zhongzhou City. They almost no longer guard the other state capitals in the Central Plains.
Make every effort to maintain the two major borders between the north and the south.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll help you guard the house."
Su Ziyue smiled.
"No, your mission is more than that." Chen Yuan suddenly said.
"Is there any other action?"
Su Ziyue was stunned.
Chen Yuan told Su Ziyue what he had in mind. Part of it was what Chu Taizu had told him, and the other part was modified by him.
"Go to the rooftop?"
Su Ziyue opened her mouth wide when she heard this.
With the east and west parties pacified, and the north and south parties also making plans, Chen Yuan will naturally prepare to sacrifice to heaven and become the human emperor from now on.
It’s not that simple to complete it perfectly.
It will take several years for millions of people to build the altar, harnessing the power of the thirteen states of the Central Plains, condensing the destiny of the Central Plains and China, and offering sacrifices to the sky in one fell swoop, adding to the destiny of the Human Emperor.
Only in this way can we hope to face the strong men in the Immortal Realm.
"Okay, I will try my best to do it." After listening, Su Ziyue said in a deep voice. She could distinguish the importance of this matter and knew the importance of this matter to Chen Yuan.
Don't dare to take it lightly.
So as not to cause the sacrifice to heaven to fail.
In fact, looking at the original Jingtai Sacrifice from the current perspective, Chen Yuan can be sure that he will definitely fail, and will be counterattacked by the fate of the Human Emperor.
Even if he didn't stop it, the result wouldn't be much wrong.
He thinks too highly of himself and even compares himself to the former Emperor Taizu of Chu. Is he worthy?
When Taizu of Chu sacrificed to heaven, he was an earthly immortal, a top powerhouse in the world, and also had great achievements. He defeated the barbarians in the north, defeated the demons in the south, subdued the Eastern and Western Regions, and was able to achieve success in one fell swoop when his popularity gathered at the top.
Without these prerequisites, there is only one end... unable to withstand the backlash of the Human Emperor's fate, he falls on the spot.
Therefore, for this reason, Chen Yuan is not in a hurry to become emperor, and does everything in an orderly manner. In the end, it is the time to truly reap the rewards.
"Hmm..." Chen Yuan nodded, he still believed in Su Ziyue's ability to do things.
"Are you coming again?"
"We'll leave tomorrow, do you want it?"
"want."
...
After several rounds, both Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue were exhausted and fell asleep. At the moment when he was leaving, he went to see Tianxu and others.
Let them assist Su Ziyue and put the matter of worshiping heaven on the agenda.
Naturally, everyone readily agreed and looked forward to the day when Chen Yuan would ascend the throne and receive rewards based on his merits.
Finally, Chen Yuan went to see Princess Pingyang and Queen Mother Yang. Naturally, they were quite peaceful with each other, and they had a good chat about recent events.
But Queen Mother Yang was different.
Chen Yuan originally wanted to show his presence and show that he had not forgotten her, but Queen Mother Yang pounced on her like a rabbit that a hungry wolf saw.
Chen Yuan didn't want it, so she had to give it to him!
...
Liangzhou, Jianmen Pass.
Compared to the last time, when it was bleak and full of crises, today's Jianmenguan is positive and full of great vitality and excitement from top to bottom.
There was a smile on every soldier's face.
The reason was none other than Chen Yuan's decision to make the Northern Expedition.
Since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the Northern Liang Army has changed from an offensive and defensive posture to an almost complete defensive posture. In several battles, countless soldiers died on the battlefield.
Now, they finally have hope.
The regent will lead them in the northern expedition to the grassland to avenge their previous humiliation!
When this news reached Beiliang, it caused a huge shock. At the same time, Chen Yuan's prestige had almost reached its limit, second only to Wei Jinfeng, the original king of Old Liang.
As for the current Xiaoliang King, although they also respect him, after all, the time he has led them is too short, and his strength is not strong enough to make the soldiers feel awe from the heart.
"drink!"
"Roar!"
"Tiger!"
Each camp is changing and training is in full swing.
Wei Wuque, who was dressed in a gilt python robe, and Jiang He, who was dressed in white, looked at this scene with smiles on their faces.
】
"His Royal Highness Prince Liang's military training methods are not inferior to those of the old Prince Liang." Jiang He folded his hands and smiled.
Wei Wuque quickly waved his hand:
"Master Jiang, please don't do this. These are all methods left behind by my father. Xiao Wang just got some legacy."
In front of Jiang He, Wei Wuque did not dare to act like the King of Northern Liang.
Who is Jiang He?
That was the famous person next to the regent. In the early years, when the regent had not yet gained power, he relied on this support to overcome several difficulties. It is not an exaggeration to call him the most popular person in the Yan army.
He is in charge of the most powerful official office in the world, Jinyiwei, with unparalleled power.
Not to mention him, even if his father Wei Jinfeng was still alive, he would not dare to take advantage of it. After all, in addition to his various identities, Jiang He was still a real strong man.
Ranked number one on today’s list!
It is said that he is only half a step away from the Sixth Realm. When the fairy sword comes out, ghosts and gods can change things.
And he is just an eldest son who has inherited the legacy of the late king. So far, his cultivation has not reached the realm of Tiandan. The gap is really too big.
It's like the brightness of a fly compared to the bright moon.
"Haha." Jiang He smiled softly and continued:
"His Royal Highness the King of Liang, there is no need to refuse. Even Marshal Chen can compare with these military training methods. He is worthy of the title of King of Northern Liang."
"It's a lucky thing that Xiao Wang can count on Commander Xiang Chen's back. I dare not compare him with him. The Governor should not put Xiao Wang on the fire." Wei Wuque said with a bitter smile on his face.
Good guy, he was lifted directly to Chen Huaiyi's position, which really made him feel a little flattered.
Chen Huaiyi was the regent's uncle, and his family ties were thicker than water. He was now the deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the nominal commander-in-chief of Beiliang's nearly 500,000-strong army.
There are even rumors that his daughter is the regent's cousin and is now one of Chen Yuan's women. With two connections, she is second only to Jiang He.
Wei Wuque even regretted for his father Wei Jinfeng, why he didn't have more daughters so that he could be a brother-in-law or a brother-in-law.
Isn’t the status as stable as the Tianshan Mountains?
"You are too humble, unlike the old King Liang." Jiang He shook his head and said no more.
He had met Wei Jinfeng, although he had only met a few times, but he also knew that he was a very arrogant person, he was decisive in killing and dedicated to his duties, and he was a well-known figure.
"My lord, that's what you said." Wei Wuque smiled, not even daring to refute.
Although with Wei Jinfeng's legacy, Chen Yuan would not do anything to him, and would even show it to others, but what he wanted was not these, but real power.
The two are undoubtedly within Chen Yuan's thoughts.
"Let's go, King Yan is almost here. This time, it's time to avenge the old King of Liang and the common people and soldiers who died in Liangzhou for hundreds of years." Jiang He let out a sigh of relief.
Although he has been in the south for a long time, he also knows that this kind of hatred between family and country is the most difficult to eliminate.
After hearing Jiang He's remarks, Wei Wuque finally stopped smiling and turned into serious and deep. When his eyes turned to the north, a trace of murderous thoughts flashed across his face.
The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!
The hatred between the family and the country will never end!
This is the hatred buried deep in the hearts of every person in Youliang and Erzhou, no one is exception, and it will never be eliminated until the Northern Barbarians are completely defeated.
"The hatred of the country and the family is finally coming back..."
"Well..." Jiang He wanted to say more, but was suddenly stunned for a moment. From the Heavenly Book space, he heard Chen Yuan's voice transmission. He took a deep breath, turned to Wei Wuque and said:
"The King of Yan is coming soon, quickly mobilize the army and prepare for war!"
Wei Wuque's face suddenly became happy and he said quickly:
"good!"
...
"winter!"
"winter!"
"winter!"
....
"winter!"
The sound of nine war drums resounded through the void, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers near the Jianmen Pass camp all understood that this was a signal to mobilize their troops to prepare for war, and their hearts were agitated.
Gather quickly.
From the generals to the generals, down to the corps commanders and ordinary soldiers, turmoil quickly began.
If you look down from the void, you can see that dozens of large camps and tens of thousands of tents are all moving at the moment. Everyone immediately puts on their armor and looks for war horses.
They began to gather towards the flat ground outside Jianmen Pass.
The whole process was turbulent, but not chaotic at all, because all of them had gone through such preparations many times before, waiting for this day.
Naturally, no one dares to drop the chain.
At the same time, within the Jianmen Pass, powerful auras quickly shot out of the air.
Jiang He, Chen Huaiyi, Ling Xu, Yang Huatian, several generals of the Northern Liang Army, Wei Wuque, the king of Northern Liang, the strong men of Wudang Immortal Mountain, and many other great people in the world.
They quickly lined up and stood in the void.
Below, the black dragon flag was fluttering, and there was silence. All the elite soldiers were either sitting on their horses or standing still, staring straight ahead.
About a quarter of an hour later, the void above Jianmen Pass began to riot, and the endless energy of heaven and earth began to condense. Roads of light condensed between heaven and earth, turning into a portal several feet in size.
Everyone raised their heads and looked, their eyes full of excitement.
Wearing a gold-patterned robe, the thin figure with long hair tied up slowly walked out of the void, overlooking everyone present. At a glance, the black armor was endless and endless.
Chang Ge stood solemnly, the war horses neighed, and an invisible pressure enveloped the world.
A huge shadow quickly began to expand, reaching a height of nearly a thousand feet, like a demon.
"See Regent, Regent for ten thousand years!"
