At that moment, there was silence on the chaotic battlefield,
Master Tian Teng is dead,
He was crushed to death by his own magic weapon, the diamond bracelet.
That was Master Tian Teng, now recognized as the number one person in Kyoto.
This Tian Teng master is the same as Xu Fei of the Shangxian Alliance. The reason why he can command the seven immortal sects is naturally not because of his age, but because of his ability to conquer everyone.
Not long ago, Immortal Sect came into the world,
Compared with the various rules of the martial arts sects in the human world that have entanglements of interests and favors, the world of cultivation is much simpler. They all just came out of the small cave in the barrier, and they are all strangers to each other. There are no entanglements of interests or favors.
Therefore, the relationship between the forces in the world of cultivation today is actually very primitive, that is, whoever has the bigger fist is more reasonable.
Previously, when various cultivating forces entered the capital, there was chaos.
Master Tian Teng was able to integrate the seven immortal sects because he was the strongest, especially that diamond bracelet, which made all the monks lose their temper. Even Xu Fei of the Immortal Alliance, who had briefly fought against Master Tian Teng before, They all relied on magic weapons and fairy ropes to fight back and forth with Master Tian Teng, but in the end they all surrendered.
But now,
Master Tian Teng, who was holding a diamond bracelet and with all his magic power fully activated, was beaten to death so easily by Gu Zhan in full view of everyone!
In an instant,
All the cultivators panicked and fell into panic.
Just Gu Zhan and the others are no match for them. Now Gu Zhan is still holding the diamond bracelet and an iron whip made of fairy binding rope in his hand.
run!
This was the immediate reaction of all cultivators.
Unlike warriors who fight all the way in this era, many people still have some special beliefs, but these cultivators are different. They have no beliefs. Without the leader, they are equivalent to a group of rabble.
The first ones to give up the fight and run away were the golden elixir monks with the highest level of cultivation. They reacted the fastest and immediately used their methods to flee.
"snort!"
Gu Zhan snorted coldly, and threw the diamond bracelet in his hand directly towards a golden elixir monk who escaped. At the same time, he directly used the cloud shield technique to turn into a stream of light and chase it in the other direction!
"Peng"
The diamond bracelet flashed across the night sky, and the next moment, it hit a golden elixir monk's head directly and exploded.
While Gu Zhan was in the other direction, he let out a cold snort, as if thunder exploded in the sky, and pieces of broken gold light came out, stinging people's eyes with pain. He stretched out a big hand, which was so vast and mysterious that it made people feel uncomfortable. Season moves.
"Boom"
The giant hand reached out and spread forward, covering the two Jindan monks and several Dongtian monks in that direction. There was endless mist spreading in the palm, making it look huge and boundless.
With a loud noise,
The two Jindan monks and several Dongtian monks were directly crushed into balls of blood mist that exploded in the air.
Gu Zhan stretched out his hand to explore again, and found the diamond bracelet back in his hand. He threw it out again, and chased a golden elixir monk with nowhere to escape. At the same time, Gu Zhan flicked the iron whip in his hand, and there was a buzzing sound. Trembling, the energy covering the iron whip surged, and a murderous aura appeared. It was extremely thick and hit a golden elixir monk directly with the whip.
The golden elixir monk let out a scream and was whipped to the ground. His back was broken and his bones and flesh were separated. Even the golden elixir monk could not recover. He lay on the ground and wailed, and was directly beaten to ashes by the second whip.
On the other side, a golden elixir monk tried his best to resist the diamond bracelet. One of his arms was broken by the diamond bracelet, and he smashed into a tall building, causing the tall building to collapse, and the monk was killed directly. .
Gu Zhan floated in the night sky, retracted his iron whip and waved it towards the sky. At that moment, thunder rolled from the sky, and dark clouds gathered instantly, filling the air with an endless sea of thunder, as if he was being pulled by the iron whip.
Gu Zhan's body was glowing with golden light, and his black hair was flying around. He was like an undefeated God Emperor dragging the sea of thunder with one hand. He looked down at the world and said in a deep voice: "Today, I am here to found the country - Wu, the reign name is Tianwu, the first An imperial edict——
Is there anything in the world that is not the royal land?
Is it the king's minister who leads the land? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above completely changed. Thunder surged across the sky like a river, radiance spilled, and the void boiled. As Gu Zhan pulled his iron whip, the sky seemed to collapse. Endless thunder surged down, defeating all directions, and countless beams of light shot into the sky. As soon as they got up, the scattered cultivators turned into ashes in fear.
Gu Zhan slowly landed on the ground,
He held the iron whip in his hand and kept beating it.
Every time the whip fell, a large number of cultivators died miserably.
Pillars of light erupted in the city, lighting up the night like day.
At this time, Tai'an City was in absolute chaos. A large city was almost destroyed by 30 to 40%. There were collapsed buildings and broken and cracked earth everywhere.
A large group of cultivators were chased by Gu Zhan and fled in panic.
Many people are begging for mercy,
However, Gu Zhan seemed to be extremely indifferent.
Regardless of whether those cultivators are men, women, old or young, they are all killed on sight.
In the capital, countless warriors and troops also appeared and began to massacre those cultivators.
this night,
It seems like a natural disaster has occurred in the capital.
This turmoil lasted until dawn,
The whole city is still in chaos,
Many people took to the streets with knives. Some were crying, some were hysterical, and some were pursuing numbly.
During this period of time, the capital city was riddled with wounds by those high-minded cultivators. I don’t know how many people were left with a lifetime of pain. This night, they were finally released.
Chaos has reached an extreme level!
In the imperial city,
Ji Yi, the former emperor of the Xia Kingdom and now the king of Xia, stood on the city wall. His crotch figure looked very bleak in the strong wind. However, he looked at the devastated capital and laughed hysterically. His eyes were filled with laughter. shed tears.
Ji Anle stood next to Ji Yi, with a complicated look in his eyes. After being silent for a long time, he said, "Father, can the world... still recover?"
Ji Yi closed her eyes slightly and said: "From the moment the Immortal Sect came into the world, it will be impossible to recover unless..."
Ji Anle pondered for a while and said, "Emperor Wu?"
Ji Yi nodded and said: "Unless Emperor Wu can still suppress all cultivators in the world like he does today in the next era of full recovery of spiritual energy!"
Ji Anle sighed and said, "But, is it possible?"
…
Xicheng, in the Kong family manor.
Literary Saint Kong Xi looked at the two Taoist priests in front of him, sighed helplessly, and said: "You two, I really don't know. The reason why I surrendered to Emperor Wu was really because of my Confucianism and the existence of the imperial court. It’s more in line with the development of my Confucian sect. Isn’t it true that I know something?”
The two Taoist priests in front of Kong Xi were Chang Mingzi and Xuanyangzi who came from the north and south gates of Wenxian Dao.
Chang Mingzi said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, we are all so familiar, there is no need to hide it. Honestly, what is the identity of Emperor Wu? If you don't tell me, I will leave you here!"
Kong Xi said helplessly: "Taoist Priest Changming, I really don't know anything. Speaking of which, you asked about the art of Immortal Deduction, which was famous in ancient times. I should be the one to ask you this question, right?"
Chang Mingzi's little eyes were full of suspicion and said, "If I knew, could I still come and ask you?"
Kong Xi chuckled and said, "I don't believe it. If you don't know anything, how could you help Emperor Wu in public? Aren't you afraid of annihilating yourself from the world of cultivation?"
"What did I help him with?" Chang Mingzi said anxiously, "I just said a few words!"
"But those two words of yours directly helped Emperor Wu break Tian Teng's diamond bracelet." Kong Xi said.
"I just took the opportunity to please Emperor Wu," Chang Mingzi said: "With Emperor Wu's strength, even if I don't remind him, Tian Teng can't defeat him. Although the diamond bracelet is strong, it is a dead thing after all, and Emperor Wu is nothing more than too much." Just waste some effort."
"Who believes it?" Kong Xi said, "How many people will believe what you say. Anyway, others only know that you, Chang Mingzi, openly helped Emperor Wu deal with the world of cultivation."
"I, I, I..."
Chang Mingzi was choked for a moment, and after a while he said: "You scholars are so frivolous that you actually got me involved. I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Let me ask you, what are your plans?"
Kong Xi shook his head and said: "Don't test me. I really didn't see anything, and it's impossible to see anything. Emperor Wu couldn't be the reincarnation of a powerful man, and martial arts only existed for a few thousand years. Which great reincarnation would practice martial arts? And explore the way forward step by step?"
Chang Mingzi asked doubtfully: "Isn't it really the reincarnation of a great power?"
"No," Kong Xi said solemnly: "At least I haven't seen which great power he is reincarnated, but I have some guesses."
"Tell me about it." Chang Mingzi's eyes flashed.
Kong Xi said slowly: "Although martial arts has not been passed down as long as cultivation, it is a path that evolved only after thousands of years of luck in the human world. Now that spiritual energy has revived and martial arts luck has declined, it should have gradually declined.
But the appearance of a Martial Emperor at this time means that the destiny of martial arts has not passed, and will definitely continue for many years. Therefore, he should also be one of the people with destiny in this era. "
Chang Mingzi suddenly said: "So, you surrendered because of this reason."
"That's not entirely true," Kong Xi said with a smile: "There are two main reasons. One is because I don't think I can beat Emperor Wu. Second, I have no conflict with Emperor Wu. Why should I fight with him? Where is the enemy?
In ancient times, Confucianism was based on living in the world and cultivating the Tao. At that time, there was no such thing as a court in the world, but all kinds of tribes and towns. At that time, Confucian disciples went to various places in the world to assist the Zuo kings in governing the people in the territory and gain merit.
Confucianism and Taoism are inherently complementary to the power in the world. Therefore, the stronger Emperor Wu is, wouldn't it be better for me? I am just a scholar. If Emperor Wu is willing to use me, then I will become an official. If he is not willing to use me, I will be a teacher and train disciples to become officials in the court. There is no conflict at all! "
Chang Mingzi was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, those cultivators are enemies of Emperor Wu because of conflicts of interest. It seems that we have no reason to be enemies of Emperor Wu!"
Kong Xi chuckled and said: "How should I put it? The ideas are different. After all, in ancient times, there were independent political powers everywhere in the world, and behind those political powers were controlled by various cultivation forces.
But now, after escaping the Age of Ending Law, the world of cultivation has reappeared. They still want to restore that system, and Emperor Wu cannot accept the rule of the cultivation sect. Conflicts are inevitable. After all, Emperor Wu cannot accept someone controlling him. , those cultivation forces cannot accept that the secular government can resist them.
And the Kong family I founded has always followed the path of assisting the king of the left. If you ask, the immortal way is about hard work and obeying the destiny, which does not conflict with Emperor Wu's way of swallowing up mountains and rivers to dominate himself. Isn't that what you think? "
Chang Mingzi smiled and said: "It is indeed what you said. I ask the immortal way to always pay attention to complying with the destiny. No matter who is the master in the world, we are just asking for the immortal. No one will not tolerate honest cultivation. A Taoist priest?"
After that, Chang Mingzi sighed and said: "I didn't expect you to think this way too. I thought you knew something in vain. I was thinking about whether to escape. If it is really the reincarnation of a great power, I really don't think so." If you dare to stay here, who knows if you might be Wenxian Dao’s enemy!"
Kong Xi smiled, stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Both Changmingzi and Xuanyangzi were a little confused. Changmingzi asked, "Where are you going?"
"Come to the dock!" Kong Xi said: "Emperor Wu is such a domineering character, and we can't beat him. If you don't just go to the dock to listen to his teachings, what will you do if he is in a bad mood and gives you a hammer?"
"Yes, yes," Chang Mingzi hurriedly pulled Xuan Yangzi and said, "Let's go, junior brother, let's go to the pier quickly. If we are so obedient, Emperor Wu is not in the mood to bully us. After all, there is no sense of accomplishment even if we bully us." .”
Xuanyangzi: "..."
…
In the imperial city, in a main hall.
After spending the night chopping, Gu Zhan changed his clothes and walked out. He summoned the system and checked his experience points. After working hard last night, the accumulated experience points reached more than 150 billion. Immediately, he started Added points:
[Use 600 billion experience points]
[Changchun Gong upgraded to the eleventh level]
[The current realm has been upgraded to the Sixth Realm of Nirvana]
I took another look at the experience points required to upgrade to the Seventh Realm of Nirvana. It was still enough to level up.
Gu Zhan did not hesitate and continued to add:
[Use 800 billion experience points]
[Changchun Kung upgraded to the twelfth level]
[The current realm has been upgraded to the seventh realm of Nirvana]
…
In an instant, Gu Zhan could feel the huge changes in his body's cultivation. Especially after the second upgrade, he directly matched the high-level Jindan, and the power of his body's cultivation had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The most obvious change was that a powerful aura filled his body and blood, as if it was about to boil, but that aura kept wrapping the runes in his body and condensing them to form a large cocoon.
The runes in the body seemed to be rioting, trying to break out of the cocoon, but the aura became stronger and stronger, tightly wrapping the runes inside.
Gu Zhan had a clear understanding,
The day those runes break out of their cocoon will probably be the day he transcends the realm of Nirvana.
"However, now we have to consider more advanced techniques!"
This problem is urgent,
His Changchun Kung can only be practiced to the peak of Nirvana, but cannot break through to the next new level.
Immediately, he scanned the system page:

………
Just then,
There was a knock on the door from outside the hall. It was Gu Zhan's guard commander Bai Ye. He said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Kong Xi, the cultural saint of the Kong family, Chang Mingzi of the south gate of Wenxian Dao, and Xuanyangzi of the north gate of Wenxian Dao want to see you!"
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the battle last night, Kyoto was in chaos, and the cultivators were faced with a disaster. Almost all the cultivators with advanced cultivation levels were killed by him. However, the two sects of Wenxian Dao and the Kong family were very sensible and never acted recklessly in Kyoto. , during the battle last night, these three factions were also very discerning and took the initiative to surrender.
He did not take action directly when confronting the Seven Immortal Sects in the East City, just to see the reaction of these three factions. As a result, he was a little disappointed. The desire for survival of these three factions was stronger than the last, and they gave in unexpectedly quickly.
After pondering for a while, Gu Zhan said slowly: "Xuan!"
…
In the Daming Palace.
Gu Zhangao was sitting on the dragon chair. After a while, Kong Xi, Chang Mingzi and Xuanyangzi walked in, and they all bowed respectfully.
Chang Mingzi and Xuanyangzi had met last night. Chang Mingzi still looked so indifferent and old, and Xuanyangzi still had a graceful demeanor.
Gu Zhan took a focused look at Kong Xi, the legendary literary sage.
Just like the rumors, he has an elegant temperament and handsome appearance, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. His cultivation level is not low. Although he cannot be completely sure of the specific small realm, he can sense that it is an intermediate golden elixir.
Of course, these three people are all mid-level golden elixirs.
Gu Zhan looked at Kong Xi and said slowly: "Literary Saint!"
Kong Xi hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying: "The common people are frightened. The name of the literary sage is just a rumor."
Gu Zhan said slowly: "The name of Literary Sage has been publicly recognized by all countries for more than a thousand years."
After that, Gu Zhan looked at Changmingzi and Xuanyangzi again, and said: "The three of you all come from the three major ancestral lines, but it is a little different from what I imagined. Can you tell me about the three major ancestral lines? What is the ancestral vein like?"
Kong Xi held the ceremony and said: "Ten thousand years have passed since the end of the Dharma era. Many things in the world of cultivation have indeed been lost. Since Your Majesty is interested in understanding, then ordinary people should boldly explain it to Your Majesty."
After saying that, Kong Xi paused for a while and said: "Common people, let's start with the three major ancestral lines!
In ancient times, there were many systems of practice in the world that were complex and confusing. Countless sages followed one path after another and slowly explored the path to becoming an immortal, but no one succeeded.
Until a certain era, Tao Ancestor appeared and traveled around the world. Finally, he sorted out the concept of governing by inaction and complying with destiny, founded Taoism, passed down the Tao tradition, gained the first opportunity to become an immortal in the world, and opened the first path in the world. The road to heaven, cultivating one's life and becoming an immortal, opened the first road to immortality in the human world.
After the Taoist ancestors, many, many years passed before the Buddha was born in the world and took a second path. He created the concept of belief in immortality and became another mainstream after Taoist life cultivation.
Many years later, the Confucian sages found the way to cultivate themselves, created the way to educate, and became immortals through merit. This was the beginning of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the world, and it was also the reason why they were respected as the three major ancestral lines in the world of cultivation, because The cultivation methods of later generations have not been divorced from the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. "
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "So, the three major ancestral lines do not refer to the three cultivation sects?"
Kong Xi pondered for a while and said: "Generally speaking, the three major ancestral lines refer to the three major sects. In this way, the three major ancestral lines are not three sects. However, there is another way of saying that the three major ancestral lines are not three sects. The ancestral line refers to the ancestral land of the three major sects. If this is the case, it is the Sanhe Cultivation Sect."
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Ancestral land?"
Kong Xi said: "The first Confucian Temple, the Taoist Temple, and the Leiyin Temple of Buddhism are not in the human world, but are located in a blessed land of cave heaven with complete rules, which is equivalent to the martial arts holy land in the human world.
However, the most common understanding is that the three major ancestral lines refer to the three sects. For example, the Kong family I founded is also Confucianism. The Wenxian Dao where the two Taoist friends Chang Mingzi and Xuanyangzi belong to is the There is no doubt that it is a Taoist sect, but the inheritance of the three major ancestral lines is too long and has extended to countless sects. "
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and asked: "What is the road to becoming an immortal?"
Kong Xi thought for a while and said: "In the system of cultivation, above the Golden Core realm is the Nascent Soul, and above the Nascent Soul is the Kowling Immortal Sect, and this Kowling Sect is to seek the opportunity to become an immortal.
Because destiny is limited, the chance of becoming an immortal is fixed in every era. Only by fighting for that destiny can one embark on the road to immortality and become a true immortal! "
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "So there are three religions: Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, because these three channels are the destiny?"
Kong Xi thought for a while and said: "Not necessarily, but the destiny possessed by the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is indeed very important, but did the four major side sects still appear later? Shushan Sword Sect, to slay demons and eliminate demons Taking the protection of the common people as their own responsibility, they entered the Taoism with the concept of abandoning small love and retaining the great love. They entered the Taoism through the Talisman Sect, the Alchemy Pagoda through alchemy refining, and the Jingshen Valley refining weapons and cultivating formations. They all found a new path and walked out a new path. The paths have all led an era.
In their time, even the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had to avoid their sharp edges, because at that time, they were the real ones blessed by destiny, and they all had many opportunities to become immortals. "
Gu Zhan frowned and asked, "What is destiny?"
Kong Xi shook his head and said: "I don't know, no one can understand what it is, maybe it is the law of the movement of heaven and earth!"
Gu Zhan slowly leaned over, looked at Kong Xi below, and said in a deep voice: "Then do you think martial arts is your destiny in this life?"
