Gu Zhan's voice was emotionless and very dull, but when he opened his mouth, his words were like thunder, rumbling, the heaven and the earth resonating, ringing in the ears of several people, and an inexplicable majesty descended on them.
At that moment,
Kong Xi, Chang Mingzi, and Xuanyangzi, the three middle-level golden elixir monks who had always behaved very calmly, all had their hearts beat faster. They subconsciously took a few steps back, and their bodies were slightly bent in a posture of worship. When they raised their heads again,
Gu Zhan was still the same Gu Zhan, but they inexplicably saw another figure. It was a majestic figure that seemed to be independent from heaven and earth. It was filled with imperial aura and overwhelming aura, all concentrated in one Gu Zhan. His body was full of human emperor aura, which made several people tremble in shock.
Kong Xi, who had been answering calmly, suddenly felt panic in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead uncontrollably. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the destiny of this world... the destiny. The ordinary people are of low cultivation and cannot see through the destiny. They can only make bold guesses. The destiny of this life lies in martial arts!"
"Yes, yes," Mingzi, the old Taoist priest standing next to Kong Xi, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly: "It must be martial arts. Under the leadership of His Majesty, martial arts in this world will definitely be able to surpass the four major side sects. , compare the three major ancestral lines, eternal glory!"
Xuanyangzi also bowed and said: "Your Majesty is the only one in the world, and the destiny of heaven must be tied to your Majesty!"
A smile appeared on Gu Zhan's face,
At that moment,
Kong Xi and others all felt that the terrifying pressure on their bodies suddenly disappeared, and they all felt a sense of relief.
"How is the world of cultivation distributed?" Gu Zhan asked.
Kong Xi hurriedly replied: "There is no specific division. The three major ancestral lines and the four major side sects are all transcendent. Most sects in the world cannot be separated from these seven sects. However, there are many cultivation sects, and it is difficult to determine the strength and weakness. In the Age of Ending Dharma, there are many After thousands of years, it is even more difficult to judge. I am afraid that we can only know the specific situation when the spiritual energy is completely revived and all the barriers are opened."
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You mean, some of the barriers are very big?"
Kong Xi nodded and said: "When the Age of Ending Dharma came, many powerful monks used great power to forcibly incorporate many mountains and rivers into the barrier. For example, there are some powerful branches in our Confucian sect, and the barrier they jointly created is comparable to In the land of one state, when these barriers are opened, the territory of the human world will probably expand several times!"
Gu Zhan said slowly: "When can we fully recover?"
Kong Xi pondered for a while and said: "The original budget was for ten years, but now the recovery speed of spiritual energy is far faster than expected. I'm afraid it will be fully realized in three to five years!"
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and asked, "How strong are your respective immortal sects in the world of cultivation?"
Kong Xi smiled helplessly and said: "Before the Age of Dharma, there were three thousand schools in the Confucian sect. The school I was in was considered a third-rate school. Changmingzi and Xuanyangzi's Wenxian Dao was also a third-rate school in the Taoist school. Branch."
Gu Zhan asked: "In that case, how could you appear in the world and establish the Kong family before the spiritual energy was revived?"
Kong Xi replied: "The barrier I am in was originally established by dozens of similar schools. With some support from the ancestral areas of some Confucian schools, it was established more than 1,500 years ago. I sent it out some time in advance.
The establishment of the Kong family was purely accidental. I was not the only one who came out with me at that time. The main purpose was to understand the development and changes in the human world. In fact, during the thousands of years since the end of the Dharma, all immortal sects with sufficient strength have sent some people here every once in a while. Understand the changes in the world in real time.
The reason why I founded the Kong family is just because the philosophy of my lineage is to assist the king of the left, so I just tried it briefly. I didn't expect it to last for 1,500 years. After all, I was in the barrier, In fact, less than a hundred years have passed. "
Gu Zhan looked at Chang Mingzi again and asked, "Where is the Dao Sect?"
"Your Majesty, it's the same," Chang Mingzi said: "Our Taoist sect has been on earth for tens of thousands of years, and the barrier has only been around for decades to hundreds of thousands of years. If conditions permit, arrangements will be made at regular intervals. Some people appeared in the world, but because it was the Age of Ending Dharma, they did not make any big moves. That is to say, after martial arts appeared in the world three thousand years ago, some Taoist traditions were established one after another.
In this regard, Buddhism is the one who has the most interference in the human world and has established many martial arts holy places. Guangming Temple and Cihang Sword Studio, which were scared away by Your Majesty before the spiritual energy was revived, were arranged by Buddhism in the human world. "
After hearing this, Gu Zhan nodded slightly, looked at the three of them, and said no more.
Gu Zhan's silence made Kong Xi and the others a little uneasy.
Before coming, they never expected that such a situation would occur. It was completely different from what they imagined. In their imagination, the meeting with Gu Zhan should be equal, but as a result, after the meeting, everyone The rhythm was disrupted. They seemed to have really become subjects under Gu Zhan's command. They had no autonomy at all in front of Gu Zhan.
Finally, after a while of silence, Gu Zhan spoke and said slowly: "You three came to see me today. What do you want?"
The hearts of Kong Xi and others were once again in suspense.
Kong Xi hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to ask His Majesty for it. I just want to know if there is any place where we can relieve His Majesty's worries."
"Yes, yes, yes," Chang Mingzi said in agreement: "Your Majesty said that the whole world is not the land of the King. Since we are in the Wu Kingdom, we are His Majesty's subjects, and we must obey His Majesty's orders in everything!"
Gu Zhan smiled slightly,
Not many people are so knowledgeable.
He thought for a while and said: "The Kingdom of Wu is about to be founded, and it is indeed a time to hire people. Kong Xi, you are a literary saint and a leader in the literary world. You will serve as the minister of wine in the Imperial Academy, and be in charge of the laws and teaching of the Imperial Academy. You will be the eldest son of Ming Dynasty." , Xuanyangzi, you two serve as the chief and deputy chief of the Qintian Supervisor of Kyoto, inspecting Kyoto and in charge of offering sacrifices to the state!"
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty!"
Several people hurriedly bowed and bowed.
Gu Zhan looked at a few more people, and then asked: "Kong Qing, according to your calculation, what will the world become like?"
Kong Xi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is Your Majesty asking about the general situation?"
Gu Zhan nodded slightly.
Kong Xi pondered for a while and replied: "The world of cultivation will definitely restore the pattern before the end of the Dharma era. The cultivation sects will control the secular power, use city-states as the pattern of the world, and be independent and self-governing!
However, His Majesty, like no one in history, will definitely be able to break this rule and establish a unified human dynasty for the whole world! "
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said,
He understood what Kong Xi meant. After the spiritual energy was revived, the Immortal Sect would definitely control the human world, and then divide the world into its own. If his Martial Kingdom could avoid this fate, it would depend on whether he, the Martial Emperor, could become a giant in the world of cultivation. .
"Since you have joined our Martial Dynasty, you will be our ministers. Now that Kyoto has become a pool of muddy water and there is a shortage of people, please help us handle this enthronement ceremony together!"
"According to the order!" "According to the order!"
Kong Xi and others hurriedly bowed.
Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, just step back!"
"I'll take my leave."
Several people walked out of the hall respectfully, all in silence, until they walked outside the imperial city. Chang Mingzi breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to touch his back, and felt the sweat on his hands. He said softly: "I Now I understand why there is a saying in the world: "A companion to a king is like a companion to a tiger. I was more frightened when I met the Emperor Wu once than I have been in my life for more than two hundred years!"
Xuanyangzi's face turned pale and he said quietly: "Brother, please stop talking. We will see His Majesty often in the future. Today is just the beginning!"
Chang Mingzi looked helpless.
Kong Xi chuckled and said: "I think it's okay, quite gentle, but you two have such a bad mentality!"
Xuanyangzi and Changmingzi looked at Kong Xi's legs with disdain and said, "Mr. Kong, when you say this, can you stop shaking these thighs?"
Kong Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "My legs are cold. It's just like this when the weather gets cold. It's normal."
Chang Mingzi rolled his eyes, with a sad face, and said slowly: "Mr. Kong, this is different from what you said before. What you said before was a polite and virtuous corporal of His Majesty Emperor Wu. We communicate on an equal footing, and then we make demands to Emperor Wu. As we were talking, not only did we not ask for anything, but we also involved ourselves. What I wanted was for Emperor Wu to give me a piece of land and help me build a Taoist temple. I didn’t want to be an official. This has nothing to do with me. It’s against the Taoist discipline to enter the world and practice in this mortal world!”
Kong Xi said speechlessly: "You still want to make a request, do you dare? Just say you dare? However, it is not impossible to deal with it."
"How do you say it?" Chang Mingzi asked hurriedly.
Kong Xi said: "Be lazy, treat this official position as a sinecure, and do whatever you need to do. Don't worry, officialdom is like this. If you are lazy, Emperor Wu will naturally not arrange too many things for you.
Anyway, Emperor Wu made us officials just to win over people's hearts. You don't need to take it too seriously. Don't worry, Emperor Wu is a sensible person. We are from the three major ancestral lines. We just have this status. Even if Emperor Wu feels uncomfortable, in order to gain a foothold, we will In order to show the world of cultivation, he would endure it. "
"It makes sense!" Chang Mingzi sighed: "Thank you, Mr. Kong, for your advice. From now on, I will just follow the rules and meet Emperor Wu less often."
"Um."
Kong Xi nodded, turned around and left.
Chang Mingzi and Xuanyangzi left in the other direction.
Just as they passed the corner, Chang Mingzi suddenly grabbed Xuanyangzi and whispered: "Junior brother, quickly, take out all the good things in your hand, we will go and give them to His Majesty Emperor Wu right away."
"Ah?" Xuanyangzi said in surprise: "Senior brother, didn't you just tell Mr. Kong that you would defy Emperor Wu?"
"Shit," Chang Mingzi said with bright little eyes, "Are you stupid? Haven't you seen what kind of person Emperor Wu is just now? He has the kind of self-centered character. No matter where he ends up in the future, Which step, but at least, when we are his subordinates now, we dare to go against him in both ways. Do we think our life is too long? Just please honestly, this is the long-term way.
In addition, although a person like Emperor Wu is domineering, it also means that he is a generous person. As long as we are honest and obedient under him, he will definitely not treat us badly. Now that the Wu Dynasty has just been established, Emperor Wu has not enough background. It is a good time for us to please him. If he is so angry, we will have no chance to please him! "
Xuanyangzi said with a confused look on his face: "Then you just said that to Mr. Kong..."
"You are stupid, of course I lied to him," Chang Mingzi said: "We used to be Taoist friends, but now we are colleagues, and we are all under His Majesty Emperor Wu, so we and he are competitors. I deceived him. Doesn't he show off our loyalty to Emperor Wu even more by being obedient to His Majesty? And now that Emperor Wu is short of people, won't he value us more?"
Xuanyangzi suddenly said: "Senior brother, you are still smart!"
As he spoke, Xuanyangzi took out a bunch of things from the space ring and said, "I have some elixirs here, as well as practice secrets, magic weapons, and elixirs. They are all of good quality!"
"Okay, okay," Chang Mingzi said, "I also have some here. In addition, I also have a few formation diagrams here, which can help His Majesty Emperor Wu build a large formation in the capital. It is very meaningful to Emperor Wu now."
Go on, Chang Mingzi pulled Xuanyangzi and said: "Let's go, let's go see His Majesty Emperor Wu right away while Kong Xi is gone. This step will determine that we will be more favored than the Kong family!" "
Both of them returned happily,
However, when they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they were suddenly stunned.
Because he saw Kong Xi holding a tray and covering something with a red cloth. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could guess from the spiritual power coming out of it that it was definitely a valuable treasure.
In an instant, the three people looked at each other,
All three faces showed surprise and embarrassment, and in the next moment, Chang Mingzi and Kong Xi both snorted, and then they all laughed falsely, then turned away and walked away into the imperial city.
"Kong Xi is a bastard. Sure enough, these scholars are full of bad ideas. They actually want to trick me into offending Emperor Wu, and then he comes to please Emperor Wu. These bastards are really vicious and not a good person!"
Walking into the imperial city, Chang Mingzi was beside Xuanyangzi, cooing.
On the other side, Kong Xi glanced at Chang Mingzi and the two of them, who happened to also look over, and then all three of them showed a gentle and hypocritical smile.
When he turned away, Kong Xi couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "These two old immortals are really mature. They actually want to stabilize me first and do this little trick behind my back. They are not honest. In the future, You have to be more careful, he looks so honest and responsible, but I didn’t expect him to be so shrewd behind the scenes, and he is a powerful enemy!”
The three people, each with their own evil intentions, returned to the palace.
At this time, Gu Zhan was counting last night's harvest, with more than a dozen space rings placed in front of him. When he heard the guard report that Kong Xi and the others had left and returned, he was stunned.
When I learned that these three people had left and returned with their belongings,
Gu Zhan smiled.
Although he rarely participates in political struggles, after all, he is in a high position and has seen too many such things. He does not need to participate, but there is never a shortage of overt and covert struggles among his subordinates. As a bystander, he can see many things clearly. I guessed everything in my mind instantly.
For a moment, I couldn't help but laugh!
After meeting Kong Xi and the others again, Gu Zhan had a lot of things in front of him.
They are all elixirs, elixirs, magic weapons and the like. They are quite valuable, but for Gu Zhan, they are not of much practical significance. However, he also feels a little sad that the background of being born in a famous family is not good. Likewise, the things these three people sent were more than what he had captured by killing a dozen Jindan monks yesterday.
In the main hall,
Gu Zhan studied the things in front of him one by one.
He took a careful inventory,
Among the magic weapons that had an effect on him, the only ones were the diamond bracelet and the immortal rope that he had turned into an irregular iron whip.
The quality of the magical artifacts sent by Kong Xi and the others is not bad. However, compared to the diamond bracelets and immortal binding ropes, they are a bit inferior. They have great auxiliary effects for ordinary Jindan monks, but they are a bit useless for him. However, , it is not completely useless. Now, when the Wu Dynasty was first established, its foundation was indeed very poor.
However, as for the confiscated practice secrets, we can clearly see the background of the famous family. Among the basic secrets sent by Kong Xi, there are several forbidden techniques. Among them, what surprised Gu Zhan was a secret technique. System testing has reached five stars.
[Detected techniques that can be deduced＊1]
…
Gu Zhan instantly withdrew his consciousness.
Immediately,
Gu Zhan started to check:
Cultivation Technique: Righteous Qi Flow Technique
Skill level: five stars
Transformable martial arts skills: five stars
…
This is a very typical Confucianism and Taoism cultivation method. It emphasizes the righteousness of the scholar and can be practiced to the peak of Nascent Soul.
Through systematic analysis of this skill, Gu Zhan finally figured out why Kong Xi had previously said that the three religions and four sects in the world would compete for the opportunity to become immortals, which is the so-called destiny.
Because of pure cultivation, Nascent Soul has already reached the top. At the higher realms, there is no need to practice according to the techniques, but to explore the great and immortal path of one's own.
Seeing this analysis of the system,
Gu Zhan frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
Obviously the system has analyzed it before,
The practice secrets are divided into seven stars in total, but now it has been analyzed that the five-star Nascent Soul Technique is already at its peak, so what are the remaining six and seven stars?
However, Gu Zhan did not continue to struggle. After all, there was no point in struggling. He immediately deduced the transformation martial arts technique:
[Use 20 billion experience points]
[The Zhengqi Fuliu Jue was successfully deduced into a martial arts technique]
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the five-star skill Haoran Jue]
…
Gu Zhan took a look at the analysis of Haoran Jue.
After systematic deduction, it has been successfully deduced into a pure martial arts technique, which is divided into seventeen levels. The first fourteen levels correspond to the initial level of martial arts to the ninth level of Nirvana, and the last three levels are the realms above Nirvana. These are the three realms of Nascent Soul in the world of cultivation.
…
At this time, the system prompts:
【Whether you want to transfer to the same place】
…
[Use 1 billion experience points]
[Transfer to Haoran Jue in the same realm]
[Transfer successfully]
[Cultivation of Haoran Jue to the twelfth level]
[The current state is the Seventh Realm of Nirvana]
…
The moment I successfully transferred to another major,
Gu Zhan felt the changes in the divine power in his body. The previous Changchun Technique was a more violent force, but the current Haoran Technique was based on the righteous and majestic energy, and the compatibility between heaven and earth was higher. A lot, and the purity has improved a lot.
After feeling the power of Haoran's righteousness, Gu Zhan did not stop any longer. After all, the system transformation was a matter of course, and there was no incompatibility, just like he had been practicing Haoran Jue from the beginning.
immediately,
Gu Zhan started looking at other secret books.
This time, he harvested a lot of secret books, and the grades were not low. There were also several forbidden techniques, but they were of little significance to Gu Zhan. Finally, he found a forbidden technique, and its grade reached a high-level forbidden technique. It was sent by Xuanyangzi. It is called shrinking the ground into an inch. It is a hidden skill. When it is said to be great, it can move a thousand miles in one step.
Gu Zhan analyzed this forbidden technique based on the summoning system:
Spell: shrink into an inch
Level: Advanced Forbidden Technique
Can be converted into martial arts
…
Gu Zhan did not hesitate and immediately chose to transform:
[Use 30 billion experience points]
[Shrinking the ground into an inch successfully deduced it as a martial arts skill]
Chi Chi Tianya: Space martial arts, a strange escape technique that can instantly transport people thousands of miles away.
…
Gu Zhan smiled slightly,
The level of this access control technique is high enough, and the method is obvious.
His current cultivation level is considered a strong one in the world of cultivation, and he is more than enough to face the cultivators who have revived their spiritual energy. However, his methods are too monotonous, and there is no problem facing ordinary cultivators. However, if he encounters such a living person, As an old monster with thousands of years of experience, he frequently uses various weird methods, so he is very likely to suffer losses, and this Chi Chi Tianya method can be regarded as a trump card.
However, he looked at the remaining experience points and smiled helplessly, and whispered: "It seems that we have to kill more people!"
Immediately, he searched among the pile of items again,
When he saw the formation diagrams sent by Chang Mingzi, he got two more big surprises.
He is no stranger to array diagrams;
Not to mention the world of cultivation, there are many formations in martial arts circles, such as the Beidou Gang's Five Elements Water Formation. The original Dragon King Mo Jingzhou relied on the Five Elements Water Formation to become the top five in Yunzhou in Canglan City. The ultimate master, even Wei Wuya is afraid of him.
Later, when the Immortal Sect came to the world, Gu Zhan also obtained many array diagrams. However, these array diagrams did not have much practical significance. They all relied on the movement of spiritual energy, and their functions were specific to certain exercises or spells. Supporting role.
Including the formation diagrams sent by Chang Mingzi, they basically functioned to gather spiritual energy, or to assist in the practice of certain exercises or spells.
There were only two formation diagrams that made Gu Zhan's eyes light up.
It’s not that these two are special. The functions of these two formations are that one is to gather spiritual energy and combine with the surrounding general trend to enhance the combat power of special skills practitioners. The other is a combined attack formation that can be practiced by people who practice the same skill. .
These two formations are very common in the world of cultivation.
However, after systematic deduction of these two formation diagrams, unexpected effects appeared.
[Use 10 billion experience points]
[Successfully Deduced Martial Arts Formation]
Trapped God Formation: The general trend of heaven and earth is used as an formation, using runes as a medium to block the rules of heaven and earth, and can suppress the cultivation of cultivators without limit.
…
According to the detailed notes of the system,
Gu Zhan understood the function of this trapped god formation, and carved the formation diagram in a specific way, that is, building a magnificent building, such as a city, casting it according to a special trajectory, carving out specific runes, and creating a large formation.
The medium of the formation is the special power of runes.
The rules of heaven and earth within the scope of the formation can be changed through the formation, thereby suppressing the cultivation of practitioners. In other words, indiscriminate suppression means that when the golden elixir monks come to the city, all methods are extremely suppressed, and the warriors are also suppressed. suppressed,
However, this suppression
It is equivalent to changing a city into a small world with different rules. There is no spiritual energy, no vitality of heaven and earth. Whether it is a warrior or a cultivator, the mysterious methods are restrained.
However, there is a difference,
In the world of cultivation, only warriors cultivate Qi and blood;
Even though they are suppressed, warriors can still be powerful by virtue of their physical strength. When cultivators face martial arts masters, their disadvantages will become very obvious, and the power of the military's heavy weapons will be infinitely amplified.
Looking at the system's annotations, a smile slowly appeared on Gu Zhan's face:
"Martial arts' trump card against the world of cultivation has begun to emerge!"
While talking,
Gu Zhan looked at the second formation diagram again.
"This formation, a cultivator's nightmare has appeared!"
