Chapter 130 Kyushu Cauldron
The emperor was killed.
There was chaos in the capital.
Li Chun brought hundreds of elite soldiers from the ten great masters, held all the important officials of the court hostage, instigated rebellion and recruited a part of the garrison, tried hard to maintain order, and waited for the Great Xia army to enter the capital.
The royal relatives, princes and nobles from all sides were either busy packing up their gold and silver and preparing to flee, or trying to take advantage of the situation to fight for power.
There is not only the Daxia Association behind Li Chun.
He also has the support of Yu Xiao and Princess Gulun.
Therefore, the situation was stabilized quickly, at least there was no collapse of order, and the next thing to do was to wait.
When Yu Xiao killed the emperor.
Daxia has launched an attack on Hanyang.
When Emperor Qian was assassinated and all the civil and military officials in the court were either killed, imprisoned, or fled, the morale of the Jingting troops on the front line was completely lost.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible to stop the brave attack of the Great Xia Army, and most of them eventually chose to surrender.
When Daxia captured Hanyang Prefecture, the army immediately split into two routes, one heading north to the capital of Zhili, and the other heading east to recover the two Jiang areas.
At this rate, in two months at most, the Daxia Army would be able to seize Zhili and enter the capital, thereby firmly occupying the core of the empire and at the same time seizing the wealthy Liangjiang area.
After the old emperor died.
The local governors who hold military and political power will not give up their power easily, and the influential royal officials will also attempt to restore the monarchy.
Foreign powers such as England and Japan will certainly not sit idly by.
These forces will surely support one puppet after another in an attempt to restore the country, or they will raise troops to establish themselves in a dangerous place and attempt to establish their own regime and become local emperors.
It won't be long.
Warlords big and small.
They will pop up like mushrooms after rain.
Especially the western and northeastern regions will definitely fall into separatism and chaos.
This phase won’t last long, though.
Daxia would have swept across most of the South. If it could go north to occupy the Zhili region and at the same time annex the two Jiang regions to the east, it would be enough to create a major trend.
This force cannot be matched by any warlord. It will be completely wiped out in a year and a half, or a year or two.
The Dajing Empire was riddled with holes.
Finally, it was completely destroyed.
Although short-term chaos and war are still inevitable, history is turning to a new page.
It can be said that Yu Xiao made an indelible and great contribution to this critical historical period.
He personally sounded the death knell for the Dajing Empire.
Accelerated the collapse of the empire.
Yu Xiao was currently sitting cross-legged in the stone hall, silently regulating his breathing and practicing, while in front of him was a corpse-like body.
This body was none other than the Chiyou Demon Puppet refined by Emperor Dajing.
A few days passed.
The injuries on the Chi You Demon Puppet caused by the Demon-Suppressing Ruler were miraculously healed at this moment.
What an abnormal recovery ability!
Yu Xiao didn’t know how the Chiyou Demon Puppet was made.
However, it is not difficult to guess from the few words revealed by the mysterious ancient evil cultivator.
This puppet is extremely difficult to refine. Not only does it require special training methods, it also consumes a huge amount of Wan Yin blood as materials.
the most important is.
This method seems to have requirements for the target's physique and even identity. Only a great emperor like Emperor Qian can successfully refine it.
This shows that Chi You's puppet refining not only requires physique, talent, skills, and materials, but may also be related to the mysterious destiny of the country.
No matter how difficult and demanding the refining process is.
Judging from the current situation, the refining of this mysterious evil cultivator was successful.
Yu Xiao could feel that there was a powerful force in the body of the Chi You Demon Puppet in front of him, which was probably equivalent to the great perfection of Qi training or the combat power of a martial arts celestial being.
What a perfect puppet!
This is also the reason why Yu Xiao brought the magic puppet into the stone hall space. Although he cannot use the magic puppet in front of him now, it should not be too difficult to find a set of secret methods to control puppets in the world of immortal cultivation.
If you can successfully activate this magic puppet.
The starting point is equivalent to obtaining the combat power of a martial arts god?
Moreover, Chi You's puppet is a very good material for incarnation. If it can be made into an external incarnation, it can continue to practice and use magic.
If Chi You were allowed to refine the puppet into a physical cultivation technique.
Isn't this equivalent to a physical practitioner who has reached the great perfection of Qi training?
His current physical condition is enough to withstand a blow from the foundation-building stage without being destroyed.
If the Chiyou puppet is trained into a physical body... Yu Xiao doesn't dare to imagine how strong it will be. It is estimated that it will be enough to withstand the attack of the foundation building stage in the Qi Refining Stage.
This time.
It can be said that it shocked the world.
Yu Xiao looked at the stone tablet again.
The current personal information is as follows:
----
Name: Yu Xiao.
Physiological age: 23 years old.
Real age: 40 years old.
Reputation: Famous for generations.
Luck growth: 15 points per year.
Luck: 138
Merit: 121680.
----
Yu Xiao’s luck level has reached “famous for generations”.
he noticed.
The information bar has changed.
The specific value in the reputation column has disappeared.
this means.
Yu Xiao is in this world.
Its reputation level has reached the top.
When the reputation reaches the maximum level, the reputation value will no longer increase.
of course.
The reverse is also true.
Reputation never decays.
Yu Xiao left an indelible mark on this world.
Even if a hundred or a thousand years pass and ordinary people forget him, it doesn’t matter.
From today on, the Dajing world can bring 15 luck points to Yu Xiao every year. As long as Yu Xiao is alive and the civilization of this world is not destroyed or interrupted, it can continue to grow forever. It is a fixed income!
Not only that.
Yu Xiao took action this time.
In total, about 80,000 merits were obtained.
His current merit value has reached 12, which can become 1200 points of luck if converted into luck.
Great harvest!
When Yu Xiao returned to Dajing through the double doors.
He was currently in no other place than the Imperial Palace of Dajing.
After killing the emperor.
He stayed in the palace temporarily.
To facilitate the collection of various resources.
"Mr. Yu!" A voice came from outside, and then Mu Guihong walked in.
He reported: "We searched the imperial palace and several royal palaces as you requested, and found a total of 146 ancient medicinal herbs!"
so much?
Yu Xiao cheered up.
Check the medicinal materials as soon as possible.
These ancient medicines collected by the imperial palace and royal palaces are of good quality.
Ancient medicinal herbs that are about a thousand years old still account for the majority, with a total of 124 strains.
This quality can only be used to refine ordinary Lingshen Pills, which can be used for daily practice in the late stage of Qi Refining, but cannot be used to impact the realm.
There are exactly fifteen ancient medicinal herbs that are two thousand years old.
Medicinal materials of this quality can be used to refine fine (high-quality) Lingshen Pills, which can not only be used to accelerate cultivation, but also assist in breakthroughs in the later stages of Qi Refining.
There are six ancient medicinal herbs that are three thousand years old.
Medicinal materials of this quality can be used to refine top-grade Lingshen Pills, or to refine more effective Jinshen Pills, which can be used to directly break through bottlenecks.
What surprised Yu Xiao the most was.
Among them there is also an ancient ginseng, whose aura is different from all other ancient medicines. Yu Xiao initially estimated that it is five thousand years old.
The spiritual energy in the Dajing world is thin.
Medicinal materials of extremely high age are rare, and the thousand-year level is a threshold.
In this world, thousand-year-old ancient medicines are still relatively common, but the number of ancient medicines that are more than a thousand years old has decreased sharply.
Five thousand years level.
It is definitely a rare treasure!
For it to have survived such a long period of time, the environment it was in must be a place with relatively rich spiritual energy in this world with poor spiritual energy, and it must have experienced several creations and breakthroughs.
Although it cannot be compared with the super elixir that has been used in the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years, it is also high-quality enough to be considered the top-level medicinal material.
This medicine can be used to refine the top-grade golden ginseng pill!
Yu Xiao planned to keep it until he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and then use it to strive for the great perfection of Qi Refining.
Soon after.
Li Chun came to report another piece of news.
According to the investigation, Jing Ting still has ten Wan Yin Blood Pearls in his hand.
The Ten Thousand Yin Blood Pearls are called Pure Yin Black Blood in the Dajing World, and they are essentially the same thing.
For these ten Wan Yin Blood Pearls.
At least several million lives were lost.
This was the necessary material that Emperor Qian was going to use to break through his realm, but he didn't expect that before the material was delivered, Yu Xiao arrived first.
The process of making Wan Yin Blood is extremely cruel and bloody. Yu Xiao will not use it directly, and of course will not destroy it intentionally.
Collect them first, and you can take them to the Ghost Market to exchange for Blood Essence Crystals in the future. In this way, breaking through the blood cultivation will be a piece of cake.
Ancient medicine is also good.
Even the Ten Thousand Yin Blood Beads.
Although it is not the direct purpose of this trip, it is undeniable that with this cultivation resource, we will not have to worry about cultivation resources for a long time in the future.
"Mr. Yu!"
"Princess Yaoxuan has woken up."
Yu Xiao asked and came to Yaoxuan's resting room, only to see Eunuch Jinyu standing at the door. He first bowed respectfully and then stepped aside.
Push the door open and enter.
Walked to the bed.
Although Yaoxuan has awakened, her spirit and soul were inevitably harmed during the process of possession, so she looks very weak at the moment.
"Alliance Leader Yu..."
Yaoxuan's eyes lit up when she saw Yu Xiao.
This young, mysterious man with extraordinary temperament is undoubtedly the most dazzling person I have ever seen in my life.
He single-handedly saved tens of millions of people and promoted the development of the times. This achievement is enough to be recorded in history books and will shine through the ages!
"No need to be polite."
Yu Xiao stretched out his hand and patted Yaoxuan. A stream of spiritual power was injected into Yaoxuan's body, making her originally pale face become a little rosy.
"You were possessed by the evil cultivator lurking beside Emperor Qian. Although the possession ended in failure, it is inevitable that there will still be some sequelae."
He paused and continued, "Of course this is not all bad. You may be able to inherit some of this person's memories, which may contain very valuable information or knowledge."
"As the leader said, I do have many memories that do not belong to me, and there is a lot of knowledge that I cannot understand."
Yao Xuan immediately said: "They are slowly dissipating... If these things are useful to the leader, Yao Xuan will try to write them all down!"
"it is good!"
Yu Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
That's what he's here for.
For some time in the future, Yu Xiao will stay in the palace and gain knowledge about Master Xuan Ce from Yao Xuan.
According to what Yaoxuan said.
This ancient Qigong practitioner who calls himself "Xuan Ce" has a very ancient origin, which can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty.
At that time, he was not called this name. He was a Zhace of Taijia, the fourth king of the Shang Dynasty. His main job was to be in charge of compiling bamboo slips and work related to sacrifices.
The spiritual environment at that time was much better than it is now, so qigong practitioners were still relatively active.
Xuan Ce was one of the most accomplished Qigong practitioners at the time, so he was highly valued by King Taijia of Shang.
In the process of compiling the classics of Qigong practitioners, he obtained a set of mysterious tortoise shells, which recorded a set of ancient cultivation methods called "Jiuli Sutra".
According to Xuan Ce's research, the Jiuli Sutra came from an even more ancient era, dating back to before Yan and Huang.
That was the golden age of qigong practitioners, and also the era when the ancient powerful beings were the most numerous and the most powerful. The "Jiuli Sutra" was the most powerful magic skill formed at that time.
After Xuan Ce cracked the "Jiuli Sutra", he was ecstatic and immediately studied the secret methods and techniques of cultivation contained therein with King Taijia of Shang.
Eventually he comprehended the key secret techniques including "Chiyou's Puppet Refining Technique" and "Jiuli Blood Sacrifice Technique".
Taijia was obsessed with the Jiuli Sutra and tried to sacrifice civilians in order to obtain pure black blood for refining magic puppets.
This move caused dissatisfaction among Yi Yin, a veteran of four dynasties, so he took advantage of Taijia's sacrifice and imprisoned him and killed Xuan Ce through a mutiny.
What Yi Yin didn't expect was.
Xuan Ce did not die, or rather, he did not die completely. He survived as a ghost.
Yu Xiao guessed that Xuan Ce's origin was not simple, but he didn't expect that he was a person who lived 3,600 years ago.
but.
Three thousand six hundred years.
How did Xuan Ce survive to this day with only a ghost? His highest level of cultivation was at most the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining.
Not to mention the Qi-refining cultivators.
Even for a foundation-building cultivator who switched to practicing the ghost path, it would be impossible for him to survive for thousands of years.
Although theoretically speaking, one can have unlimited lifespan by shedding the physical body and cultivating the ghost path, in reality, the spirit body will gradually get lost due to being washed by the cold wind all year round.
The lifespan of a ghost path foundation-building cultivator will be much longer than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, but the limit is only about five hundred years.
If there is no special method to prolong life, one will be washed away by the cold wind and lose one's self as if suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and eventually become a ghost with only instincts but no wisdom.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
Yu Xiao decided to find out.
Yao Xuan learned from the memories left by Xuan Ce that this person was able to survive from the Shang Dynasty to today only thanks to a special set of artifacts called "Nine Cauldrons"!
These Nine Cauldrons are nothing else.
It is the nine tripods that were cast with gold contributed by the nine herdsmen of the world when Dayu established the Xia Dynasty, as the legend goes.
When Xuan Ce was killed.
His ghost escaped and hid in one of the tripods.
The Nine Cauldrons are not only a ritual vessel, but also a set of extremely special magical instruments that can gather the luck of the nine provinces and transform it into spiritual energy.
Xuan Ce's ghost hid in the cauldron, which not only weakened the cleansing of the cold wind to the greatest extent, but also relied on the spiritual energy in it to keep his soul from dispersing.
This went on for three thousand six hundred years!
Xuan Ce awoke several times during this period and participated in the dynasty era many times. There were traces of his activities in the late Shang, Qin, and Han dynasties.
There are many major historical events.
Xuan Ce’s shadow is behind all of them.
This historical ghost who practiced the "Jiuli Sutra" traveled through thousands of years of time with the protection of the Nine Cauldrons.
however.
These ancient dynasties.
Neither the population nor the luck is enough to complete Xuan Ce's plan.
Until the Great Jing Dynasty!
The population of Kyushu is unprecedented, and it happens to be the end of the dynasty. In Xuan Ce's view, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
What happened later.
There is no need to introduce it in detail.
Xuan Ce bewitched Emperor Qian to ruin the national destiny of Dajing, and the scattered national destiny was all absorbed by the Nine Cauldrons.
Hear this.
Yu Xiao developed a strong interest in the Nine Cauldrons.
According to Yaoxuan's memory, the Nine Cauldrons are currently in the Forbidden City.
Xuan Ce set up a "Nine Provinces Spiritualization Array" based on the Nine Cauldrons.
This solves another unsolved mystery.
Yu Xiao was very puzzled at first as to why there was spiritual energy in the Forbidden City.
You have to know that no matter how high your cultivation level is, it is impossible to create spiritual energy out of thin air in a world with thin spiritual energy.
The truth is clear.
Aura is transformed from the Nine Cauldrons.
The Nine Cauldrons can absorb the power of national destiny and transform it into spiritual energy based on it.
From the time the Nine Cauldrons were cast to the present day.
Went through all dynasties.
All the loosened dynasty's national destiny.
Eventually they will all be gathered by the Nine Cauldrons.
It has absorbed the fortune of every dynasty for four or five thousand years.
Under Xuan Ce's instigation, Emperor Qian was frantically destroying the great fortune of Dajing. When the dissipated great fortune of Dajing was absorbed by the Nine Cauldrons, part of it was transformed by the formation into a spiritual field that enveloped the Forbidden City.
Based on this, Xuan Ce created an environment in the Forbidden City that could barely provide a place for monks to practice in the Dharma Ending Age.
Yu Xiao set off immediately and, following the instructions provided by Yao Xuan, found nine ancient tripods at nine locations in the Forbidden City.
"Is this the legendary Nine Cauldrons?"
now.
Nine large tripods.
They are lined up in front of you.
Each tripod seems to exude an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Yu Xiao did not expect that the Nine Tripods full of legends would appear before his eyes.
The ancient cultivators in this world still have some means. The Bagua formation plate in Yu Xiao's hand is a special magical weapon from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
however.
Compared with the nine tripods in front of him.
This array is not worth mentioning.
Back then, the Xia Dynasty was just established, which was an extremely important time node.
That was both the end of the golden age of ancient Qigong practitioners and the beginning of the Kyushu Land Dynasty era.
Take this opportunity of heaven and earth.
Xia Yu collected all the essence of the nine states.
The nine tripods were forged with the combined efforts of all monks in the country.
Although Xia Yu had cast the shape of the Nine Cauldrons, he was far from completing the casting of the Nine Cauldrons. These Nine Cauldrons were passed down for several hundred years amid the change of dynasties.
Over thousands of years, the world has changed and dynasties have risen and fallen.
During this process, the tripod is cast all the time.
Using the heaven and earth as the furnace, luck as the fire, billions of lives as fuel, and thousands of years of time as the forging, this is a magical weapon that has been refined for thousands of years and is still being refined.
now.
Facing the Nine Cauldrons.
Yu Xiao could feel that, although the Nine Cauldrons had not yet been endowed with any magical powers, it was actually already a semi-innate embryo of an ancient treasure.
If you can make good use of the nine precious embryos.
It can forge top-level spiritual treasures!
Why did Yu the Great of Xia cast the Nine Cauldrons?
Yu Xiao speculated that he might want to use the power of the Nine Cauldrons to revive spiritual energy and restart the golden age of cultivators at some point in the future.
But it's just speculation after all.
It is impossible to verify it because of the long time.
This tripod has absorbed all the dynasties' national fortunes since the Xia Zhijing period. The potential and power it contains are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If they were born in the world of immortal cultivation.
Not to mention a young monk like Yu Xiao.
I'm afraid that people at the level of Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Patriarch will fight over it and beat its brains out.
Such good stuff.
Yu Xiao was naturally not polite.
He will try to sacrifice the Nine Cauldrons.
Although it has limited functions as a spiritual treasure embryo, it can also be used to set up formations or assist in cultivation.
But how easy is it to refine the Nine Cauldrons?
It will undoubtedly take a very long time.
Yu Xiao firmly believes it.
It's worth it no matter how long it takes!
The potential and development potential of these Nine Cauldrons will surely become one of his most core magical weapons in the future.
Next.
One month.
Yu Xiao was practicing in the Dajing Palace. With the spiritual energy provided by the Jiuzhou Spiritual Transformation Formation formed by the Nine Cauldrons, he could practice even in the Dajing world.
Yaoxuan took a month.
She successfully wrote the "Jiuli Jing".
This set of skills is undoubtedly extremely valuable, but the Jiuli Sutra tends to be more magical.
One of the characteristics of magic power is domineering.
This kind of domineering is not reflected in the means of the martial arts, but the martial arts themselves are very domineering.
Although it has great power and many methods, it is easy to cause subtle influence on the practitioner's body, soul, and even temperament.
Yu Xiao wasn't sure either.
Will the Jiuli Sutra affect me?
Therefore, Yu Xiao did not practice the main method, but only extracted some of the secret techniques for practice.
The most important of these is the "Jiuli Incarnation Secret Technique".
This is a "secret technique of incarnation", which is extremely rare not only in this world, but also in the world of immortal cultivation. At least it is not included in the Sutra Library of Qinglan Valley.
What is an incarnation?
It's a bit like puppetry, actually.
However, the difference from puppetry is that external incarnation is equivalent to directly projecting consciousness into a new body.
The caster can not only control the body to fight, but can even practice.
Let’s take an example.
Yu Xiao was worried that practicing the "Jiuli Sutra" would have side effects.
Then he can completely practice with the help of his external incarnation.
In this way, even if there are side effects, most of them will be concentrated on the incarnation, and the impact on the main body will be reduced to a minimum or even negligible.
However, there are two difficulties in cultivating an incarnation.
First of all, this kind of secret technique is extremely difficult.
Yu Xiao did not plan to practice the "Jiuli Sutra" himself. Directly practicing the "Jiuli Incarnation Technique" would double the difficulty.
Secondly, to practice this kind of secret art, one must have a usable incarnation body, and creating an incarnation body requires great opportunity and good fortune.
This is often more difficult than practicing the art of incarnation.
What a coincidence this is not.
Yu Xiao has a ready-made Chi You magic puppet in his hand. If he can master the Jiuli incarnation technique, he can obtain an incarnation that is quite a martial arts master.
This can not only greatly increase Yu Xiao's combat methods and capabilities, but also greatly increase Yu Xiao's safety and means of survival.
And it is different from ordinary puppets.
The incarnation can be cultivated.
Can grow.
practice!
Must practice!
No matter how much time it takes, no matter how much energy it consumes, this secret technique must be mastered!
The biggest gain and surprise during this period was obtaining the "Jiuli Sutra".
but.
Yu Xiao also has troubles.
That means there was trouble in refining the Nine Cauldrons.
He had obtained a magical weapon in the past, and after practicing it for a month, he could at least sense and use it, even if he didn't master it.
He continued to refine the Nine Cauldrons for a month.
Yu Xiao found that he had not established any connection with the Nine Cauldrons, let alone trying to activate this special magical weapon.
so hard!
This may be related to the nature of the magic weapon.
The Nine Cauldrons is not a traditional magical instrument. Although it has developed spirituality, its spirituality is still chaotic and vague.
Want to master.
It's extremely difficult!
Yu Xiao remained patient.
Another month has passed.
During this period of time, Yu Xiao was refining the Nine Cauldrons while studying the secret techniques of the Jiuli Sutra.
He had basically understood the several secret techniques of the Jiuli Sutra, but had still not made any breakthrough in refining the Nine Cauldrons.
Is this the wrong method?
This kind of semi-innate spiritual treasure cannot be sacrificed and refined by ordinary means.
It is necessary to go back and look for some classics on refining and controlling equipment.
Just when Yu Xiao had this thought.
A message came.
Daxia entered the capital.
This is a historic moment.
Dajing is about to become history.
This world and this country are about to open a new chapter!
Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a recommendation ticket!
(End of this chapter)
