Boom!
Black clouds surged in the sky, blown by gusts of strong wind, and layers of cloud waves swept across. From time to time, a blue-white electric light appeared in the middle, illuminating the dark sky and earth.
At the transition between spring and summer, the originally continuous spring rain has now become rough and violent.
The big raindrops were like string beads, hitting the ground one after another from the clouds, falling into the puddles on the ground, splashing large beads.
Gusts of wind and cold rain blew into the corridor outside the hall.
The few young eunuchs standing outside the door couldn't help shaking, and gathered up their already somewhat damp coats, finally feeling a little more warm.
"It rains every day, and I don't know when it will end."
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's just stay here. After this shift, we can go back and rest."
The two young eunuchs at the door each muttered, then looked at the increasingly dark and violent world outside, and then looked back at the closed door behind them. A ray of bright yellow light shone through the gap between the doors, and they all lowered their heads. .
Although the power of the outside world is terrifying, the person inside the hall is even more terrifying to them.
Because of the strong wind and rain, they would at most get cold and sick. And the Wrath of Thunder inside would directly kill them.
Which of the two is more terrifying is self-evident.
The lights in the hall became a little swaying with the cold wind blowing in from the gaps.
The elongated shadow was like a ghost, swaying left and right in the hall, seeping in all directions.
The sesame oil in the lamp was blown up by the cold wind and splashed on the wick, making a slight sizzling sound, making the fire dim again, but it soon became bright again.
Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to the wind and rain outside, nor did he care about the light and shadow in the hall. At this time, his eyes were staring straight ahead, landing on the human figure.
"disease!"
He shouted, pinched the spell with his hand, and the magic power surged in his body. Then he stretched out his finger, and the figure in front suddenly flashed with yellow light, which was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
But Lu Yuan endured the stinging pain in his eyes and still stared at the light source.
Fortunately, the yellow light did not last long. After more than ten breaths, a line of tears flowed from his eyes, and then it stopped.
The light dissipated, and a slightly burly figure stood in front of him.
Ignoring the stinging pain in his eyes, Lu Yuan looked carefully and saw that the other person's face was very similar to his own, but he was not an acquaintance, and if he looked carefully, he still couldn't tell.
Overall, he is more rugged and resolute, making him look like a heroic man.
Using telekinesis again, I made some contact with the other party. I felt the strong mana in the other party's body and couldn't help but laugh.
"From today on, your name will be Huang Xuan, and you will be the protector of the Chu Kingdom."
After laughing, Lu Yuan pointed at the calm-looking yellow scarf warrior in front of him and said.
"yes."
The yellow scarf warrior who had just been named Huang Xuan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Looking at this scene, Lu Yuan nodded slightly in his heart, understanding a little more about this newly trained yellow scarf warrior.
'Because he doesn't have many spiritual thoughts, so even though he has spiritual intelligence, he is still just a remnant soul without much emotion? '
He thought to himself.
As the master, he is able to communicate mentally with this magical avatar and check the other person's spiritual thoughts.
At this time, during the induction, the clone Huang Xuan in front of him had a lot of common sense that he had instilled in his heart, as well as the induction of good and evil thoughts, as well as various instinctive experiences in combat.
But in terms of emotional desires, there is no trace at all.
This should be due to the fact that the opponent itself is refined from dead objects, and is not essentially a living thing, but close to a magic weapon.
But it may be more likely that the other party's intelligence is just a remnant soul composed of spiritual thoughts. It is a incomplete thing and is born without the elements of emotions and desires.
'But that's fine, anyway, what I want is someone with innate combat power, no emotional interference, only able to perform tasks, he is simply an excellent tool. good! good! '
Lu Yuan thought about it in his mind and looked around Huang Xuan. He couldn't help but nod his head, and couldn't stop the joy on his face.
This time, in order to refine the clone of the Yellow Turban Warrior, he spent the remains of twenty-one divine blood mutants.
Not only did he directly wipe out the Chu State's treasury, but in the end he even relied on asking for tributes from the first-class sects under his rule to barely meet this demand.
And with such a huge cost, the power of the yellow scarf warrior in front of him cannot be underestimated.
This yellow scarf warrior not only has the upper limit of mana equal to that of Danding Dao Anqiuna Lao Dao, but because it is a clone of Lu Yuan, it also shares his ability to communicate with the Tianzhu, and can use his own luck to recover the lost mana.
In addition to abundant magic power, the Yellow Turban Warriors also have three solidification abilities.
The difference is that the power is infinite, and it can exert the force of thousands of people.
Steel and iron bones, not afraid of any sharp sword.
Gather energy to form a blade, and can gather mana to turn into various weapons to fight the enemy.
Being able to defend, attack and last, these three special abilities, coupled with the deep magic power, not to mention, directly raised Huang Xuan's combat power to the level of the second innate realm.
"With the strength of this clone, it may not be able to deal with immortal monks like Anqiu. But facing ordinary second-level Xiantian warriors, as long as they are not old masters who have entered this state, they should be able to defeat them. Tie.”
Lu Yuan estimated the strength of his clone, which was roughly equivalent to the level of He Basheng, the great general of Beizhu Kingdom of Zhou Kingdom. He was a newbie among the second-level masters and was not as good as the long-established Jian Ling of Jinling. Emperor Wu.
But...it doesn't matter!
His lowest expectation was to create a clone with the innate combat power of a master.
As long as we can solve the current dilemma of Chu State's lack of top-level combat power, alleviate the shortage of manpower, and free ourselves, that's all.
The harvest now has far exceeded expectations.
Not only did he gain innate combat power, but he also gained the second level of innate combat power.
"With such a harvest, it's not in vain that I spent all my treasure to create this ultimate weapon."
Lu Yuan laughed again when he thought of this.
His loud laughter spread directly out of the hall and spread outside.
The few young eunuchs guarding the door couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the cheerful laughter in the palace. They didn't know what the king of the family had done to be so happy.
But they were cautious and did not take a peek, nor did they have any intention of exploring.
In this deep palace, the first thing they learned was not to be too curious and not to read too much.
The king has a destiny, just do things honestly.
Otherwise, if you know something you shouldn't know, then what awaits you will not be a good opportunity, but a disaster that will kill your life.
For those who don't believe this, the grass on their graves is now several feet high.
The lessons learned from the past were so vivid that they did not dare to violate that taboo.
Boom!
The wind and rain in the sky were still there, and amid the lightning and thunder, everyone felt cold in their hearts.
I really want to get off duty as soon as possible and get some rest under the covers.
Several eunuchs thought this way.
…
After refining the Yellow Turban Warriors clone, Lu Yuan tested the strength of his clone in the palace over the next few days, and the final result was exactly as he had originally estimated.
This clone has indeed reached the strength of the second innate realm. Although it can only be regarded as a weakling in this realm, it has also far widened the gap with the first realm.
Even the weakest Second Innate Realm master can easily defeat two or three Second Innate Realm Grandmasters.
And with this clone, Lu Yuan finally let go of the last worry in his heart.
It just so happens that the third day of April has arrived, which is the Xiaoman Festival in the lunar calendar. At this time, the rivers are getting full of rain, spring seeds have been sown in the local areas, and the farming work has been completed. It is the people's leisure time.
According to usual practice, this is the time to use troops.
Just after several months of accumulation in the first year, Xichuan and Qianzhong counties are now fully equipped with food and grass and soldiers.
The two imperial armies that are preparing to go out are also waiting at Ashan Mansion and can go out at any time according to orders.
With preparations at this point, Lu Yuan was finally able to step aside and lead his troops on the expedition.
So on the next day, he immediately summoned Zuo, the governor of Qianzhong County in Shicheng, and asked them to enter the palace to see him.
In the spacious hall, officials from various ministries who had followed from Baling were lined up on the left and right. Officials of seventh rank and above in Qianzhong County also mixed together and waited quietly according to their grades, civil and military.
Didn't wait too long.
After the chamberlain informed that all the officials had arrived, Lu Yuan walked directly from the back of the palace and took his place on the throne.
He glanced around at everyone, and all the people being stared at lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
After declaring his majesty, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I have called you here today for only one thing, and that is to introduce someone to you."
After saying that, he knocked on the door and the table in front of him. Huang Xuan, the queen of the palace, came out, walked around the throne, and came to the front of the ministers.
Then after bowing to Lu Yuan, his eyes also looked at the ministers.
Many ministers below looked at this person who suddenly appeared, and none of them knew why. I don’t know what the king’s purpose is in calling everyone here so solemnly just to introduce the person in front of him.
Fortunately, at this time, Lu Yuan continued to speak and answered their confusion.
"This real person's name is Huang Xuan, he is a Taoist Immortal Master, possesses magical power and is not inferior to the second level of Xiantian martial arts master.
Huang Zhenren is a hermit from Da Chu. Hearing the name of the solitary king, he deliberately gave up his spiritual practice and went out into the world to help the solitary king with his great cause.
Today I have summoned you to formally consecrate Master Huang Xuan as the Protector of the Country of Great Chu, ranking first-class. Let me wait and see. "
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, according to the planned plot, a powerful aura burst out from Huang Xuan's body, instantly suppressing everyone in the hall except him.
The ministers in the hall only felt that there was a terrifying beast standing in front of them. The tall body seemed to contain terrifying power, as if it would tear the body apart at any time and engulf everyone present.
This feeling was felt even more by those warriors in the palace.
They are cultivators to begin with, and their six senses are naturally sharp. Their sensitivity to various crises is much better than those of civil servants.
At this time, in their perception, the aura of Huang Xuan, the recently canonized real protector of the country, was as deep as the sea, like the bright light in the dark night, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
These people stood in this terrible aura, just like the small darkness, as if they would be melted and swallowed by the light at any time.
This person is invincible.
This is an unimaginably powerful person, even more terrifying than the ordinary innate master.
The warriors who can enter the palace all have a certain status in Chu State.
These people had followed Lu Yuan in the past and had met innate masters such as Yan Wangqiu, Su Xuange, and Li Xiong.
But at this time, in the hearts of everyone, the pressure brought by the innate masters they had seen in the past was far less than that of Huang Zhenren in front of them.
The only one who can compare is his own unfathomable king, who may be able to beat this Huang Zhenren.
Otherwise, why would the other party rush to serve Da Chu?
Doesn't this just show how powerful and excellent our king is?
Just when everyone in the hall turned pale and swayed under the pressure of the momentum, Huang Xuan, who had achieved the deterrent effect, finally withdrew his aura and stopped forcing him any further.
Otherwise, someone might not be able to bear it anymore and collapse or pass out on the spot, which would be a bit indecent.
Lu Yuan also happened to speak at this moment: "Gu will soon lead the troops to the expedition. At that time, Huang Xuanzhen will replace Gu and take charge of Qianzhong County. He will be in charge of the military and political affairs of the county and will be the head of the county.
Gu Weijun and Liucheng, you two are the governor and the captain of Qianzhong County, respectively the head of the civil and military affairs. From now on, you must assist Zuo Huangxuan with all your heart and guard this newly developed foundation for Gu Gu. "
Among the ministers below, Gu Weijun and Liucheng, whose faces were still a little pale, looked at each other, stepped out in unison, and took orders from Lu Yuan: "I obey your order. In the future, I will do my best to assist Zuo Huangxuan and guard the place." Govern Qianzhong County well."
After saying that, the two of them looked at Huang Xuan again and saluted together: "I have met Master Huang Xuan. I hope that Master will give you more advice and take care of me in the future."
"Um."
Huang Xuan, who was emotionless, just responded coldly.
Everyone present looked thoughtful when they saw this. It seemed that the newly appointed Protector of the Country was not so easy to deal with.
But after just experiencing this, they also knew that the person in front of them was a powerful real person, an immortal master with real immortal abilities.
Moreover, I heard from the king earlier that Master Huang Xuan had been cultivating in the mountains and rarely interacted with people, so he had a somewhat withdrawn personality, which is understandable.
The most important thing is.
Comparable to a real person in the second realm of Xiantian, this kind of person, not to mention a bit lonely, even if he is a cruel and easy-to-kill demon, everyone has to treat him as an ancestor.
To be able to reach the current position, everyone present knows what a second-level innate master means to the Chu country.
A person of that level is almost as good as a country-preserving artifact, capable of ensuring a country's long-term destiny and prosperity.
Especially the Mr. Huang in front of him, he doesn't seem to be very old. Although immortal cultivators can regain their youthful appearance, the vitality in their bones cannot be concealed.
The Huang Zhenren in front of them gave everyone the impression that he was young and heroic, and was definitely not the kind of immortal who had lived for hundreds of years.
If Da Chu can get the help of such a person, it can be said that in the next hundred years, it will have a guarantee and there will be no fear of national subjugation.
A grandmaster of the second level of Xiantian, even if he faces the hegemony in the world, he can still protect his country from destruction.
After all, a grandmaster in the first realm of Xiantian is still likely to be killed. But when you reach the second level of Xiantian, if you want to kill such a person, even if you gather ten masters of the first level of Xiantian, it will be extremely difficult to do so.
And as long as this kind of person doesn't die, who dares to destroy the country he protects?
With Huang Zhenren, as long as he doesn't die, Da Chu will be safe.
No, it’s not one guarantee, it should be two guarantees.
Some smart people glanced at their own king who was sitting high above him with a majestic and calm expression.
Being able to subdue the real person in front of him, coupled with the ability of his own king to command the army, which is respected as the God of War, this is undoubtedly a more terrifying figure than the real person Huang Xuan.
As for such people, there are now two in Da Chu.
Thinking of this, the sense of belonging and trust and pride in Da Chu among the ministers in the palace could not help but deepen.
Da Chu is flourishing, and there are more and more powerful people in the country.
The year before last, the general had made a breakthrough in innate strength, and this year there was a real person named Huang Xuan. Unknowingly, our Chu country actually had four innate combat powers.
No, some people who knew better couldn't help but think of the envoy from Xichuan Kingdom who came to serve as an envoy a few days ago.
It seems that the Xichuan Kingdom is also preparing to surrender to the Chu Kingdom and is preparing to donate its land to surrender.
If Xichuan Kingdom can be annexed, the leader of the other side's Holy Kingdom will also be an innate master.
If calculated this way, there are as many as five first-level Xiantian Grandmasters in Chu State.
This number has already exceeded that of Ning State in the east.
The majestic overlord of a state is already weaker than Chu State at the innate level.
Think again of the trend that has been widely circulated among the people in recent years.
Chu State will replace Ning State and become the master of Yangzhou.
Originally, the important ministers were not very optimistic about this, and even scorned it.
But looking at the land of Qianzhong County under their feet and the real person Huang Xuan in front of them, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Maybe, probably, maybe, this is not a fantasy, but it is really possible.
The pounding heartbeat occurs in many people. It must be admitted that many people are moved.
The glory of being a minister of an overlord country is far superior to being a minister of a great country.
Expectations arose in the hearts of the ministers.
Not only them, but also Lu Yuan was looking forward to it at this time.
However, what he expected was not what the ministers thought. Building Chu into a state hegemon was a matter of course for him. It would only take a few decades and a step-by-step management, and everything would fall into place.
There will be no surprises at all.
What Lu Yuan is looking forward to now is the sudden surge in luck in front of him, and the subsequent even larger surge in luck.
The Chu State has a second-level innate protector of the country. It has been predicted that things like this that increase the national power will make the luck gathered by oneself skyrocket.
The purpose of announcing it to the ministers at this time was just to harvest this wave of luck.
The only thing that surprised Lu Yuan was: "This increase in luck was 30% more than expected. Is it because the real person announced this time is comparable to the second most advanced person in the world? Is this the reason for this increase?" '
With this in mind, he looked at the ministers and said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites standing over there: "And the Ministry of Rites, please prepare in the past few days for the canonization ceremony of the Protector of the Country.
Various countries also sent envoys to come and watch the ceremony together.
I, the Great Chu Duoyi, protect the country, this great happy event should be celebrated by the whole world. "
After saying that, Lu Yuan couldn't help but think.
This time the Chu State released Huang Xuan as a real person who was comparable to the second level of Xiantian. With this real person protecting the country, he should be able to shock the surrounding countries and suppress their eagerness to move.
This prevents these guys from losing their patience and trying to take advantage of Chu State's inability to take advantage of it and come over to take advantage of it.
Well, in addition to this, announcing this news to the world can also reap another wave of luck.
Breaking through the realm and condensing Qi in the past few months consumed Lu Yuan's accumulated luck for several years.
Now, his whole body's Qi luck only has two or three months' storage, which is very thin and can only be used for his own practice.
Now that Huang Xuan is a big consumer of luck, if he doesn't take the opportunity to earn more luck, and if he wants to communicate with Tianzhu to receive spiritual energy, he is afraid that he will be stretched thin and there will be a shortage.
For Lu Yuan, who now relies on mana as his greatest source of confidence, this situation is naturally unacceptable and must be changed and made up for.
'Well, I hope I can get more luck this time. '
He sighed, and then looked at Huang Xuan, full of expectations.
In the next few months, whether you will live in prosperity or poverty will all depend on this true protector of the country.
Don't let me down.
