The forty-seventh year of Xiangxing stumbled like this, and ended helplessly amid various turmoils. But what followed was not the forty-eighth year of Xiangxing, but the first year of Tongzhi.

At this time, people all over the world suddenly realized that Emperor Xiangxing, who had ruled Daxu for 47 years, was really dead. He was now just Renzong in the Ancestral Temple.

The new emperor's new year and the new era have not swept away the decline of the late Xiangxing period, and Daxu's national destiny is still sliding towards the irreversible abyss.

In January of the first year of Tongzhi, there were one hundred and fifty-three rebellions in the forty-eight states of Daxu, just reporting to the capital to cause trouble in Shangdi, and the smoke was billowing.

The policy of "conferring princes to respect Zhengshuo" led by the regent did not seem to have the desired effect. A large number of Jiedu vassal towns appeared in various places in Daxu, just like a country within a country.

In General Fumo's Mansion, Yao Ping, commander of the Xuanyi Guards, rushed back from the dusty world outside. He personally held a wooden box and wanted to deliver it to Zhou Bai.

"Report, my lord, the latest letter has been sent from Tianya Pavilion."

The ministers and generals passing by the mansion, and even the Taoist officials on duty, all looked at him with suspicion. Yao Ping, who had not been seen for a long time, needed to deliver something in person.

Xuanyi Guard has now become a presence that everyone in the general's mansion acquiesces to and is very afraid of. There are two commanders, Yao Ping for external affairs and Yao An for internal affairs.

There are also good people who call the people in charge of Yao Ping the Eagle Guards, who can see the world, and the people in charge of Yao An are called Wolf Guards, who can see the inside and nearby of the lair.

In the study, Zhou Bai took out a key from the secret compartment and opened the wooden box of the secret letter that had just been delivered.

He was looking forward to the content inside, because this was the first time since Tianya Pavilion was established that everyone had contacted each other, and everyone had exchanged information.

Tianya Pavilion was proposed by Zhou Bai, and its name comes from a poem he left to other Jinshi when he was in retreat in Jinting Dongtian.

“There are close friends in the sea, and there are neighbors in the world.”

The original intention was to connect the Jinshi people in the 47th year of Xiangxing. The forty-eight Tianren Jinshi came from all over the world.

The headquarters of Tianya Pavilion is located in Luozhou, which is located in the heart of the world. It is looked after by Zhou Bai's friend Si Jie from Luozhou. Letters and news from other Tianren Jinshi can be sent to Tianya Pavilion in Luozhou for transfer and summary.

However, before Zhou Bai was awarded the title of Heavenly Lord and Demon-Conquering General, there were very few letters sent to Tianya Pavilion. The letters that came and went were from Si Jie, Pang Lexheng, Shi Xiu and other close friends.

It wasn't until General Fu Mo opened his mansion, captured warships, and became famous that the network of contacts he promoted in one fell swoop could really take effect.

The heavenly people also realize that in such troubled times, not even heaven can keep them safe and secure, so communication and alliance are necessary.

No, in the first batch of news exchanges in the first year of Tongzhi, forty-eight Jinshi Tianren, including Zhou Bai, all sent news to Tianya Pavilion that they knew and wanted to ask for help.

Zhou Bai used a special secret key to open the wooden box, and there were forty-seven letters stacked neatly inside. Each letter was written in a sloppy style, each with its own merits, and all of them were masters of calligraphy.

"Xuzhou salt dealer Li Boxheng controls 13 large and small salt farms. Hundreds of private salt dealers follow his orders. Local officials are all infiltrated by him and are suspected of having great ambitions."

"Last winter, Fan Chong, the newly-appointed military governor of Linshan County, recruited many tribesmen. The Green Forest Army increased to 500,000 people, which could not be supported by one county. When this letter was sent, his vanguard army of 100,000 people was directed towards Taizhou, Taizhou. He County, under the banner of Taihe Prefecture, is rebelling, and Linshan is the screen of the imperial court, so it should work for the imperial court to clear up the rebellion."

"Xiangzhou Zhongxiang raised an army to rebel and led 30,000 water thieves to capture Donghu County in one fell swoop. Luck was booming. Looking at its trajectory, there is no doubt that the dragon is hidden."

"The king of Xiyuan County in Liangzhou took the lead in suppressing foreign warships and clearing out the ghosts in the territory, winning the support of the common people and gentry. The county king suspected that the late emperor's edict was false, publicly accused the regent of controlling the young emperor, and called on the wise men of the world to raise troops to clear the emperor's side. Now Liang Half of the county guards in the state are obeying the royal palace’s orders.”

"The Daxu imperial court is frantically gathering resources from all over the world. Elite soldiers from all over the country are being transferred to core control areas such as Zhongzhou, Luozhou, and Bianzhou to repair cities and add checkpoints... The imperial court should want to give up the corners of the country and stick to the Central Plains to wait. The timing of the day.”

"There are many hidden dragons in Western Shu, and sects have joined the world to support the dragons. Currently, there are nine people who have the appearance of hidden dragons."

"In the north, the sixth prince of Lingzhou had a conflict with the state governor. The imperial court issued an order to reprimand the state governor, and the sixth prince was able to take charge of the state government..."

Zhou Bai read through the letters one by one and had an intuitive feeling about the world situation in his mind. It was much more detailed and accurate than reading the Di newspaper or relying on Xuan Yiwei who had not yet set up his stall to collect information.

There is no way, the first batch of members who can enter the Tianya Pavilion are all second-level Jinshi in the 47th year of Xiangxing. No one is the elite of the elite, and they have no shortage of luck and status.

Many people even came from families that were basically aristocratic and county officials. There was no one like Zhou Bai who came from a rural family and became a Jinshi.

And perhaps in order to make up for their previous indifferent attitude, these Jinshi in the same year passed each other relevant information about the local Qianlong and the lords of the feudal town.

Because this is what Zhou Bai is interested in. General Fumo's Mansion occupies half of Bei'an County, and no one can see what he is going to do.

Facts speak louder than words. What Zhou Bai is doing now, even if he doesn't fight for the final position, at least he must separate himself from one side.

After reading the letter, Zhou Bai took up writing again and wrote down several of his judgments.

One is related to the celestial phenomena. After a major flood, there will be a severe drought, and the first year of Tongzhi will be a year of severe drought.

The second is the spiritual tide. Mountains and rivers that now show signs of spiritual energy erupting must be firmly occupied.

In June at the latest, which is the summer harvest season, the spiritual energy tide in the mortal world will reach a peak, and the spiritual veins generated in various places will also "mature".

The third is based on the judgment of the peak of the spiritual tide, that is, we must help local officials or powerful forces to eliminate the foreign warships that have taken root before June.

This is not only a way to obtain heavenly power and become a heavenly official in advance, but also because the second wave of warship invasion in the Qingxu Realm should also be chosen at the peak of the spiritual tide in the mortal world.

By then there will be spiritual objects everywhere, and even the spiritual veins can be directly captured as a base. The suppression of the rules of heaven in this world will not be able to continue as it is now.

After Zhou Bai read the letter and wrote a reply, Yao Ping stood aside respectfully and reported the situation.

"Lord, the current way Tianya Pavilion transmits news is through the respective channels of heaven and earth. In order to ensure timely delivery, ten outside guards have been deployed. Mr. Si Jie has also acquiesced in this."

Zhou Bai nodded slightly: "Well, he won't care. Later, when the communication between various places is smooth and the resources are sufficient to arrange long-distance communication arrays, we will move the Tianya Pavilion headquarters to Dingzhou."

Yao Ping bowed to accept the order and submitted his work report: "Currently, the foreign guards can only guarantee that each major state has a branch stronghold, and except for the northern border and a few key major states you explained, there are no other branch strongholds. They can’t play much of a role, and some have only two or three outside defenders lurking.”

"In the past six months, the foreign guards have spent a lot of money, but they have not found much useful information. I am ashamed of myself!

"

After saying this, Yao Ping's face turned red. Compared to the role his brother played in Bei'an, he had no sense of presence outside.

Zhou Bai did not open the report document, but just pressed it aside, and then said sternly to Yao Ping: "Xuanyi Guard Commander Yao Ping listens to the order. In view of your performance in the past six months, I will give you the Xiantian Pill as a reward."

"Nowadays, the world has changed. Although you have practiced martial arts diligently since you followed me, the acquired realm alone is not enough to protect yourself. Before leaving this time, go to Cangshan to take pills and break through to the innate realm. There is a cave for you there."

Yao Ping took the elixir bottle and was already crying. The Xiantian elixir was a treasure that even the Daxu royal family could hardly save.

The acquired warrior took it, established the two channels of Ren and Du, cultivated a stream of innate true energy, and from then on became a member of the extraordinary ranks.

Most monks look down on mortal warriors, except for innate warriors, who are invincible within a hundred steps of entering the Taoist realm.

The slightly weaker Second Realm will also be injured if it is attacked.

Of course, it is limited to injuries. A monk transforms into a mortal state, and all body functions undergo transformation. He can resist a single move from an innate warrior without dying.

"Go ahead and do your best. As long as I send the troops out of Dingzhou, the outer guards can play their due role."

Seeing what Yao Ping wanted to say, Zhou Bai waved his hand to see him off. He knew the difficulties in the early stage of intelligence work and could not see the results.

All of this needs to be paved. Only when the intelligence network is completely laid out can the expected spy agency truly show its power.

"Bang bang bang, my lord, leave!" Yao Ping knew his lord's temperament, kowtowed silently three times, and left with a determined look on his face.

The Xiantian Pill is indeed very precious, equivalent to an ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, the Xiantian Pill is just the most inconspicuous one among the large number of spiritual pills that Zhou Bai spent 525 points to exchange for.

Regarding the suppression of the ghost tide, the heavenly court praised Chao Qu for his merits, and the reward given to Chao Qu was a talisman, which stabilized the divine body that was in a state of disintegration.

In addition, Tianting came forward to untie the affiliation between Chao Qu and Daxu Longting. From now on, he will not be subject to any restrictions from the Daxu imperial court and the wild gods.

As for Zhou Bai, he only gave 500 points of contribution, which was far less than the 3,000 points he handed over to the warship.

Yuling Tiandish inquires about Tiangong: four turns, three thousand five hundred and twenty-five points.

With so much heavenly power, Zhou Bai certainly had to spend it, and he spent it all directly.

Generally speaking, most of the magic weapons used by monks in the first and second realms are magic weapons. Even among sect monks and casual cultivators, there is only a difference in the level of the magic weapons.

Only those who are above the Third Realm and have strong enough magic power can control real magic weapons.

Zhou Bai used a thousand points of contribution to exchange for a low-grade magic weapon-level military flag, which he planned to use as the real military flag of the Demon-Suppressing Army.

This magic weapon flag does not need to be controlled by monks. Its function is to inspire the morale of the army, condense the military spirit, and exert the overall strength of the army.

Moreover, as an elite army experiences more wars, the level of the military flag will increase. This is a growth-type magic weapon, otherwise it will not be more expensive than the Mountain Guard Formation.

It may not have much effect against the same mortal army, but once it deals with extraordinary power, it can show its unpredictable ability of "defying the immortal with the mortal".

This is a taboo remnant left over from the time of the ancient human emperors. Originally, Heaven was still a little wary of it, so it has always been hidden from the world.

Now that the two worlds are at war, life and death are unpredictable, and some taboos are no longer taboos. Anything can be changed as long as it is useful to resist the enemy.

In addition, Zhou Bai spent two thousand contribution points to invite the only martial arts immortal in heaven, Zhang Wufeng and Zhang Xianren, to perfect and improve the martial arts techniques in Jingwu Essentials.

Finally, I got a holy martial arts method, Xiantian Kung Fu. As the name suggests, it will be much easier to practice this technique to reach the Xiantian state.

Why does martial arts in the world endure for so long and has never been completely eliminated?

It's because thousands of years ago, a man shattered the void with force and ascended to immortality.
