"Jianmu..."
After listening to Old Man Shen Teng's story, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He did not expect that this sacred tree had such an origin.
Far beyond his expectation.
According to Old Man Shen Teng, this place was not originally a forbidden area for the demon clan. On the contrary, it was a treasured place with rich vitality and abundant resources for cultivation.
And he came here thousands of years ago and accidentally discovered a dead tree hidden in Bibo Lake. It was the legendary building tree, and he was immediately overjoyed.
He nourished it with the original source and revived it, and then relied on the power of Jianmu to steadily improve his cultivation. Thousands of years later, he had opened up the inner world and became the Demon Emperor.
And over the long years, he turned this place into a forbidden area, isolated from the world, and no one was allowed to approach it, and all those who dared to intrude were not allowed.
Almost all ended in death.
At the same time, seemingly out of fear that Chen Yuan had seen through everything, Old Man Shen Teng gritted his teeth and told Chen Yuan about the Jianmu Sacred Tree absorbing the origin of this realm.
They were not at the same level at all. Even if he didn't say it, as long as Chen Yuan paid more attention, he would be able to notice it. It would be better to tell everything and find a way out.
"The origin of the realm..." Chen Yuan's heart moved and his eyes darkened slightly.
He knows very well that once the origin of the realm is swallowed up, then... this realm will most likely turn into a mortal realm, and the vitality between heaven and earth will gradually disappear.
Until no more warriors can be born, but... this time will be very long, probably counting tens of thousands of years. Now, it is just the early stage, unless Chen Yuan destroys Jianmu now.
but...
He looked at the vigorous Jianmu, which contained infinite vitality. He hesitated for a moment, and had a vague hunch in his heart that this Jianmu might be of great use to him in the future.
But now the changes in the world are not too obvious, so there is no need to rush.
"Shen Teng, are you willing to surrender to me?"
Chen Yuan suddenly said.
Old Shen Teng said quickly:
"Yes, yes."
Although he was extremely bitter in his heart, he did not dare to show it. If the opponent could defeat him, he could kill him. The longer he lived, the less he wanted to die and coveted immortality.
"I want to leave a restriction on your soul."
"Please take action, Immortal Lord."
Old Shendou's already short body became shorter again.
The situation is stronger than the person, so it has to be this way.
Seeing that this old guy was quite sensible, Chen Yuan gave up the idea of sending him on his way. After all, what he wanted was luck, and since this person didn't have it, there was no need at all.
And a strong man at the Demon Emperor level can also help him in the future.
The strength of the old man Shen Teng is not inferior to that of the Burning Sky Demon Emperor, but according to Chen Yuan's battle, if he really wants to take action, the Burning Sky Demon Emperor has a greater chance of winning.
Not only does fire defeat wood, but also because of the magical powers and fighting methods of both parties. Old Man Shen Teng has been hiding in one place for thousands of years. It is obvious that he is not very good at some killing magical powers.
I only know that using force to overwhelm others, it doesn't matter if you are strong in cultivation, but if you meet a being of the same level, you will definitely be slightly weaker.
...
...
At the bottom of the blue wave lake, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and breathed out. The three five elements rules of fire, metal, and earth were all shrouded in his body and manifested in the human world.
He just retreated to meditate on the last two rules, the five elements of water and the five elements of wood.
Among them, the rules of building wood follow the rules of loose wood, while the Bibo Lake follows the rules of loose water. It can be said to be an excellent place for practice, and Chen Yuan naturally cannot miss it.
After all, that was his purpose.
After subduing Old Man Shen Teng and briefly telling Su Ziyue about his situation, he began to comprehend the remaining two rules of power without any distractions.
The five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other, and Chen Yuan is also following the path of the five elements. With the speed of practice and enlightenment, he thinks he will not be in seclusion for too long.
Of course, this is just his guess, and the specific situation still needs to be looked at based on reality.
Also, there is no sense of urgency in his heart now. All enemies in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest have been pacified, and the entire world is under his control.
Except for the Immortal Domain, the Yan Dynasty now has no rivals.
For the time being, there is no need to be as urgent as before.
On the Bibo Lake, on the top of the building, the short old man Shen Teng looked down and sighed secretly. He felt extremely regretful and annoyed in his heart. He was not annoyed about fighting Chen Yuan.
Instead, he was upset about why he had been staying here, not understanding the current situation of the world, thinking that he was extraordinary, and thinking that there was no existence in this realm that could defeat him.
As a result, reality slapped him hard in the face.
If he could understand the current situation as soon as possible, abandon his buildings, leave the southern border, or even leave this realm, with his strength, what if he could step into the starry sky?
Why should we be like now, slaves and servants?
The demon emperor is dignified, but his life and death are in the hands of others... It can be said that his mood at this time is completely different from before.
It's a pity that no matter how much you regret, it's too late. There will be no do-over day. We can only hope that Chen Yuan's goal will be achieved and that after taking control of the world, he can be given courtesy and even freedom.
"Why...."
...
In the Yan Dynasty, the seventh year of Shengwu.
Time passed quickly, and nearly seven years passed in the blink of an eye. After the original human-monster war, the entire human world fell into a long period of peace.
The East China Sea, the Western Regions, the Southern Border, and the Northern Barbarians. Nowadays, almost every accessible place in the world is planted with the Great Yan Black Dragon flag, standing solemnly in the world and in everyone's heart.
Compared to the chaotic times of the past, now both the warriors and the common people have entered a prosperous era.
With the peace of the four directions and the terrifying strength of Dayan, the Central Plains China has completely become the center of the world, attracting talents from all walks of life to gather here, including warriors from the Western Regions, overseas warriors, and grassland warriors.
The gathering of a large amount of resources and talents naturally created a prosperous age of martial arts, with major immortal sects, major families, and Jianghu forces constantly vying for supremacy in the Jianghu.
The gold content of the ranking on the Immortal List has completely reached its peak.
Because this is the existence recognized by the dynasty.
This is also Pingyang's suggestion. She believes that once we enter the peaceful age, many people will be idle and have thoughts that they shouldn't have. It is better to let them continue to fight for fame and fortune.
Her proposal was approved by Queen Su Ziyue, who secretly promoted everything. This was indeed the case. After the list of immortals was changed, countless heroes and geniuses entered the conspiracy set up by the imperial court.
One after another, peerless geniuses have also been tempered by blood and fire in such competition.
Among the younger generation, the most eye-catching one is Shi Yi, the royal envoy in imperial robes. As a registered disciple of Chen Yuan who has not yet been accepted, Shi Yi has shown a very terrifying talent.
In just a few years, he has reached the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. He can be said to be the most dazzling genius since the founding of the Yan Dynasty. All the heroes in the world bow to him.
However, the time was still too short after all. The biggest changes were only in the Hidden Dragon Ranking. As for the Fengyun Ranking and the Supreme Ranking, there were not much changes.
Su Ziyue even wanted to set up a list of immortals and include all the immortals in the world, but after discussion, she gave up for the time being.
As for the people, the imperial court ruled everything, the laws were strict, officials did not dare to bully, and martial artists did not dare to challenge the majesty of the government. In addition, there were many policies to considerate the people.
Let them live a truly peaceful life like a dream.
Although not everyone can live a good life, at least most people can afford to eat and wear clothes, and this... is their biggest pursuit.
Of course, it was a prosperous time in the Central Plains, but for places outside the Central Plains, it could be said to be harsh. The prosperous life of the people in the Central Plains was also drawn from other regions.
This is the only thing Chen Yuan can do.
In addition, there is also Chen Yuan's strategy of spreading martial arts throughout the world, spreading the foundation of martial arts throughout the world.
In a world where one person's power can equal all others, force is everyone's biggest support. Chen Yuan is not afraid of rebellion, because there is no one stronger than him in the world.
Even if they were given time to catch up, they could only watch their backs.
This is also one of the reasons why the imperial court secretly leads the list of immortals. It is not only to give those people in the world something to do, but also to let them sharpen each other. In this way, a virtuous circle will give birth to strong people.
Nowadays, the top immortal sects are the imperial state religion, or they obey the imperial orders. As long as there is a decree and a call, no one dares to disobey.
This is the horror of the unified dynasty. With Emperor Shengwu suppressing the world, as long as he does not die, no one will dare to have other small thoughts.
On this day, in the Divine Capital City, inside the Jinyi Guards Office.
Suddenly the color of the sky and the earth changed, the billowing vitality rioted, and an invisible pressure of rules shocked everyone in the capital. Everyone around them seemed to be carrying a huge mountain on their backs.
】
He was so suppressed that he couldn't breathe, and could only vaguely hear the sound of a sword that reaches the sky.
.....
"Congratulations to the Governor!"
"Jiang Sword God."
"Let you be one step ahead again..."
Dressed in white, Jiang He looked like an immortal descended into the world. Hearing the congratulatory voices around him, a faint smile appeared on his lips. After practicing for several years, he finally passed that level.
Gathering the flowers on the top, stepping into the six realms, achieving the land of immortals on land.
Since then, he has stepped into the top level of the human world.
Su Ziyue, who was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, looked at Jiang He's breakthrough and nodded with a smile, but there was still a hint of concern and melancholy in her eyes.
Nearly seven years have passed since the Battle of Tianduan Mountain ended.
Moro, Lao Tianshi, Ancestor Su Ming, Chu Changfeng and others have all returned to the Central Plains one after another. Even Jiang He has been in seclusion for several years and entered the Sixth Realm.
But there was always no news from Chen Yuan.
However, she didn't have many worries, just worries, because she also knew that Chen Yuan was now invincible enough that no one could match him.
The reason why there is no news is because he...has gone into seclusion again!
Queen Su Ziyue, as a good housekeeper, has long been accustomed to seclusion, but this time the seclusion time is particularly long. There has been no movement since the instructions a few years ago.
Li Suqing on the side seemed to see the look in Su Ziyue's eyes, and asked softly:
"Chen...Your Majesty...hasn't he...come back yet?"
As the headmaster of the Goddess Palace, one of the top figures in the world, according to common sense, she should be sitting at the Yunzhou Mountain Gate and in charge of the important affairs of the Immortal Gate, but Su Ziyue was called boring.
She had been summoned for several years, and the power was given to the former head teacher Feng Jiuge.
Of course, she was not the only one who was called into the palace together. Jiang He's wife Li Hongshuang was also a frequent visitor to the palace. From time to time, she would chat with the queen for a long time.
It is the envy of countless princes and nobles.
The Jiang family is really prosperous.
The emperor favored Jiang He, and the queen had a close friendship with Li Hongshuang, the wife of Yipingaoming. If there was a list of aristocratic families in the imperial court, the Jiang family would definitely be on the list.
Compared with several kings with different surnames, he is not inferior at all.
"Why, does Sister Suqing miss him?" Su Ziyue's eyes moved slightly and she suddenly whispered.
"You... Ziyue, you are the Queen... No matter what..." Li Suqing frowned quickly, the red glow on her face flashed away, and she made a serious expression.
Ever since she entered the palace to practice with the queen, Su Ziyue had provoked her nerves from time to time, saying that the harem was cold and the other sisters were not interesting, and she hoped that she could come in to accompany her.
It's definitely the imperial concubine...
Let Li Suqing sternly refuse.
Entering the palace, the imperial concubine...
What would happen to her if she entered the palace?
Not to mention that she and Chen Yuan were close Taoist friends, but even with the concubines Yu Qingyan and Shen Yanshu, it was impossible for her to agree to such a ridiculous thing.
Doesn't this mean that three masters and apprentices serve one husband?
She, Li Suqing, is still shameless?
That is Su Ziyue. If it were an ordinary person, she would have become angry from shame.
"Su Qing, you're in a hurry..." Su Ziyue said with a teasing smile. Pingyang mother and daughter were honest and honest. Shen Yan, Mrs. Shuxu and others had been dormant by her for a long time, and the entire harem was as calm as water.
She had long been fed up with it, and really wanted Chen Yuan to try something like master-disciple.
Only then did Li Suqing's suggestions be mobilized repeatedly.
"Zi Yue, if you keep talking, I will go back to Yunzhou." Li Suqing took a deep breath and suppressed the shame in her heart.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore."
"You, you didn't even show up when you became the queen." Li Suqing gave Su Ziyue a white look.
"Haha, but Suqing, are you really prepared to live alone all your life?"
"This is called seeking the truth throughout your life!"
"That guy Chen Yuan also likes to seek enlightenment..." Su Ziyue seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly chuckled, turning her eyes to the south, with longing hidden in her eyes:
"It's time to come back..."
...
Southern Xinjiang, Bibo Lake.
In the originally peaceful void, the rules began to become chaotic. At first, they were the essential rules of heaven and earth, but after a while, the rules of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth began to gradually condense between heaven and earth.
Thousands of miles in radius are covered in it.
An invisible coercion appeared between heaven and earth, as if the world was overturned. The old man Shen Teng on the top of the building suddenly opened his eyes with complicated expressions.
The five elements complement each other...
He knew clearly that Chen Yuan... had a breakthrough!
